Little Shan brought Zhang Xiaoshan directly to a suite meant for rest.
At that moment, Baldy Liu was lying on the bed.
His head was wrapped in gauze, with quite a bit of blood seeping through.
"Did someone crack your skull open?"
Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned.
It wasn’t that bad, was it? Baldy Liu was practically an emperor in Wanshan County, aside from getting the short end of the stick under his own people, who would dare do this?
Baldy Liu, half-dead lying on the bed, cried.
"Miracle Doctor Zhang, save me, please save me. If you don’t do something, I’m not going to make it."
"Just now, right after you left, the chandelier fell and hit my head. Thankfully, someone pushed me out of the way, or you wouldn’t be able to see me now."
Baldy Liu wailed miserably.
Zhang Xiaoshan activated the Heavenly Dragon’s Eye to check on Baldy Liu’s condition.
His head had been struck severely, with cracked bones already.
Most importantly, the dark energy on his forehead was even more intense.
Having dark and evil qi invade the body was bound to bring misfortune.
"Take off the necklace around your neck." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
Baldy Liu was momentarily stunned.
Baldy Liu took off the string of black stone beads around his neck and handed it over to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"If you thing, then I’m giving it to you."
Zhang Xiaoshan spoke bluntly.
"There’s something wrong with your necklace. The reason your health is deteriorating is because of this necklace."
"How can that be, isn’t this just a piece of jewelry? And it was a gift from a friend of mine."
Baldy Liu’s face showed complete surprise.
Zhang Xiaoshan explained.
"The black beads on this necklace are not stones, but joints from a child’s bones, especially this skull pendant which has been cursed with malevolence."
"If the friend you mentioned didn’t know that, then it’s alright, but if he did it on purpose, then you’ve provoked someone formidable."
Hearing this, Baldy Liu was terrified.
He struggled to get out of bed, knelt on the ground, and begged Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Divine Doctor Zhang, since you can see the problem with this necklace, you must be able to break the curse, right? Everything before was my fault, I apologize to you, I’ll be your dog from now on, please save my life."
Baldy Liu’s posture was extremely servile, revealing that someone who struggled from the bottom to get to where he was cherished everything he had now, especially his life.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Baldy Liu.
"Forget it, I’ve been satisfied with your attitude over the past two tasks, so I’ll help you this time. But you must promise me, after I save your life this time, you are never to do anything inhumane again, otherwise, as easily as I can save you, I can also take your life."
Baldy Liu didn’t dare to utter another word. He nodded his head like a pecking chicken and earnestly said,
"I swear, I will mend my ways. If I ever con people like before, may I be struck by lightning, may I die a terrible death."
"From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never dare to go west, I’ll definitely be a good person."
"Good, you’d better remember your own words."
Zhang Xiaoshan already had a way to help Baldy Liu.
To break the curse, carry a Pure Yang Talisman, prepare Blood Nourishing Soup, and you’ll be cured in seven days.
"Have your men get some incense sticks, vermilion, and black dog’s blood."
Baldy Liu immediately urged his men to get them.
Half an hour later, everything was ready.
Baldy Liu lay on the bed.
In the inheritance Zhang Xiaoshan received from the Dragon Girl, there were quite a few methods to expel evil qi, and at this moment, to break the curse on Baldy Liu, he only needed to use the simplest of techniques.
He lit three sticks of incense.
Then, with vermilion, he wrote seven runes on yellow paper.
"Remember, carry these seven runes with you, burn one to ashes and drink it each day. After seven days, you can completely dispel the evil qi in your body."
"Now, I will break the curse on you."
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan pulled out the burning incense sticks, dipped them in vermilion, and began to draw lines on Baldy Liu’s back.
It was as if he was tattooing.
The burning sensation of the incense made Baldy Liu’s back painfully hot, but he dared not cry out for fear of disturbing Zhang Xiaoshan.
Compared to his life, what was this pain?
After a full twenty minutes, a huge tattoo resembling a lion, but with dragon horns on its head and a dragon’s tail, was drawn on his back.
It was the Suan Ni, one of the nine sons of the Heavenly Dragon.
Fifth in order, it preferred stillness to motion, enjoyed sitting and was fond of smoke and fire. Its image is often used as leg decorations on Buddha’s seat or on incense burners.
This creature could overcome certain evil beings.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoshan took the black dog’s blood and splashed it over the tattoo on Baldy Liu’s back.
The dog’s blood was cold, but when it combined with the Suan Ni, it hissed like boiling hot oil, as if it would set Baldy Liu ablaze.
At the same time, in a dark room where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, there sat a man with his eyes closed.
The man was dressed distinctively, clearly some kind of Mage.
Suddenly, the Mage let out a scream, followed by his robe catching fire.
"Damn it, damn it, who broke my Evil Spirit Curse, who was it?"
"I must cut off the connection quickly, or I will die too."
The Mage formed a strange Dharma Seal, then threw a black bracelet from his right hand onto the ground, shattering it.
After that, the flames on his body were extinguished.
A few breaths later, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"How could someone capable of breaking my curse appear in a small place like Wanshan County?"
"Damn it, it was a Ghost Child that took over two hundred years for my lineage to raise, and just like that, it’s gone. Despicable! Once my injuries heal, I must have my revenge."
The Mage’s eyes were filled with flames of anger.
