C53 Curse of God
Under the red cloth was a mud doll!
That's right. The clay doll was crudely carved. Its entire body was pitch black, and its facial expression was also very blurry. It was impossible to clearly see the expression of the creator who wanted to convey the message.
On the contrary, the movement of the mud doll was extremely exaggerated. It raised its left arm high and pointed its finger at the sky. In its right hand was a little thing in the shape of a light cage. Its legs were separated into the shape of a bow, and its entire body was in a very strange shape.
Ye Kai had seen this thing before. It was the clay doll that Qin Yuanshan and Su Mei had given him. Oh, no, to be precise, it was just very similar. Because the difference between the clay doll and this one was its raised arm, bent fingers, and the hand that held the lantern. They were all the opposite.
Ye Kai took a deep breath. He couldn't wait to soak the clay doll with water to see if there was any map inside.
"There is nothing that can brighten people's eyes, but... I just feel that it is not simple, but I am confused about it. Hehe, I'll leave it to you young people. I'm old... I don't want to use this brain anymore. "
Seeing Ye Kai's stunned expression, Chu Genqing thought that Ye Kai was not interested in him, so he continued, "Ye, if you really don't like it, then..."
"No, no, Uncle Chu, I really like it! It feels the same as you. When I see it, I also think that this thing does have some stories."
Ye Kai was overjoyed. How could he not want it?
"Then, Uncle Chu, I will accept it?"
Ye Kai covered the red cloth on the mud doll again, then held it in his hand and said to Chu Genqing.
"Don't worry, young man. Hehe, speaking of which, I still have some selfish motives."
Chu Genqing stretched out his pair of withered yellow hands and pressed them in the void. He smiled at Ye Kai and said.
Ye Kai did not understand what Chu Genqing was trying to do, so he nodded his head, indicating that Chu Genqing could say whatever he wanted.
"Alright, Ye. Sit down first and make a pot of tea for your Uncle Chu. Our uncle and nephew are chatting."
After saying that, Chu Genqing pointed at the empty tea box on the table, which was wrapped in thin bamboo silk.
Ye Kai did not refuse. He faintly felt that what Chu Genqing wanted to say would definitely interest him.
Ye Kai did not know the Way of Tea, so he could only smell a refreshing fragrance that instantly filled the entire room. There was no need to guess. This tea was definitely the best of the best.
"You will definitely guess. The price of this tea must be extremely high. It must be extremely expensive, right?"
Chu Genqing took a cup of tea that Ye Kai poured for him. He put it down and sniffed it. It looked very comfortable and seemed to be enjoying it very much.
However, this time he did not give Ye Kai a chance to answer. He continued, "This tea has no name in the tea ceremony. If you have to call it by name, I will call it Cloudy Mist Tea. Where it came from... Hehe, in the whole of China, I'm the only one who knows about this place. Besides me, no one else knows that such a good tea can grow there."
Ye Kai did not understand why Chu Genqing would suddenly discuss the tea ceremony with him or the source of the tea.
However, interrupting someone else's words was an extremely rude action. Ye Kai naturally would not do that.
"I like this Cloudmist Tea. Although it is fragrant, it is not as excessive as Tie Guanyin's tea. It's also not as overbearing as the one in the red robe. In ancient times, Cao Mende and Liu Xuande drank wine and talked about heroes. Today, Old Chu and Ye drank tea and talked about things. Isn't that a good thing?"
Chu Genqing seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words. With a smile, he poured a cup of tea for Ye Kai.
When the tea entered his mouth, the fragrance returned to his mouth and stomach.
Ye Kai did not think about it anymore and started to savor the taste of the tea.
"What a pity. Perhaps I will never be able to drink such a good tea in my life."
Chu Genqing changed the topic and finally returned to the main topic.
"Why?"
Ye Kai asked.
"The friend who planted this kind of Cloudy Mist Tea participated in the salvage of the shipwreck with me, but something happened to him."
Chu Genqing's words carried a trace of sadness.
"Something happened? Uncle Chu, you mean... your friend met with an accident?"
Life, death, and illness were naturally very normal. Chu Genqing was a person who valued relationships and loyalty. He could see that there was a trace of bitterness between his brows.
Chu Genqing did not answer. He just waved his hand and looked at Ye Kai. "Ye Kai, I think only you and me in this world know that my illness is not ordinary. Is that right?"
"Hiss..."
When Ye Kai first heard Chu Genqing only call his name, he felt something was wrong. But after hearing the complete sentence, he immediately felt a chill down his spine.
What did Chu Genqing mean?!
"In this world, only you and me know that my illness is not ordinary..."
Could it be that Chu Genqing could also see the black airflow surrounding his body? Or could it be that he knew the secret of the Clairvoyance Ability in his eyes?
"Ye, don't be nervous. You have saved me, you are my benefactor. Therefore... What method did you use to cure my illness, I don't know... And I don't want to know. The reason why I said that my illness isn't ordinary is because... First, all the famous doctors in the world, including China's old TCM. The advanced medical professors in the west, and even the Nanyang Inhumans who are proficient in lowering their heads... I have looked for them, but they... They know nothing about it. To be precise, they can't even find the cause of the illness! "
Speaking up to this point, Chu Genqing poured himself another cup of tea.
"At that time, I thought that in this world, there is nothing without reason. As the saying goes, everything in the world has a reason. This is the Heavenly Dao. This time, I came to the Guan Yin official of Min City on my deathbed. Everyone thought that I came to ask for an afterlife. But in reality, before I die, I want to ask the heavens to tell me where the source of this karma is. However, even now, I haven't gotten what I wanted. "
Ye Kai was a little stunned when he heard this. In other words, his doubts were greater than shock and fear. However, it seemed like Chu Genqing only knew that his illness was very strange. He also knew that Ye Kai's treatment method was very unique, but he did not plan to get to the bottom of it.
"After thinking about it for a while, I feel that the root cause of this is probably that shipwreck salvage. The reason why I said that is because other than me suffering from a strange illness, as far as I know, the eight people who participated in the salvage and treasure hunt... Not a single one was spared. The person I was talking about growing this kind of Cloudy Mist Tea was the one from Huaxia. "
After Chu Genqing said that, Ye Kai finally understood why he had the free time to discuss matters with him.
It turned out that the person who planted this tea leaf was also infected by a strange disease and was also a member of the shipwreck treasure hunt.
"He... died?"
Ye Kai asked carefully.
After all, not everyone had such good luck to meet Ye Kai.
Chu Genqing shook his head and replied, "I don't know. When my bodily functions are deteriorating and I can't find a cure... I thought it might be some kind of curse. And so... I contacted the other seven people and found that four of them were already dead. Two of the other three people couldn't be contacted. The other one was one of the two people from the Huaxia, the tea grower. However, he only said one sentence to me. "
"What did he say?"
Ye Kai's heart was completely hung up by Chu Genqing's strange story.
"He said to me, maybe we really offended the gods at the bottom of the ocean!"
Gods at the bottom of the ocean?
Ye Kai was silent.
He never believed in the words of gods and ghosts.
But that was in the past. If there were no ghosts and gods, then where did his special ability, clairvoyance, come from? This kind of scientific discovery that couldn't be explained, how did it come about?
Chu Genqing thought that Ye Kai didn't believe in the words of ghosts and gods and curses, so he said, "If it wasn't the curse of gods, then... Then, why is it that among the eight of them... Half of them died, and the rest of them couldn't do anything about it? It's not that I'm exaggerating, but the eight of us together have about a tenth of the world's wealth. With such wealth, we can't even solve the misfortune of eight people dying. It's not the curse of the gods, what is it?"
Ye Kai's frown deepened. He couldn't explain it, nor could he explain it.2
Chu Genqing spoke again.
"I was already in despair, but I didn't expect it. You... Ye Kai, an ordinary-looking young man actually cured me... You saved me, and you really broke the curse of the gods. I don't want to know how you cured me. But since you can cure me... So I hope you can help me save my friend... The grower of Cloudmist Tea, please agree to my unreasonable request! I would rather take half of all my wealth... No, all of my wealth, I'll give it all to you!"
There was a trace of sincerity in Chu Genqing's voice. Ye Kai could tell from his eyes that this was not fake.
"I don't want a penny. If I can get to him before he dies, I will try my best!"
Ye Kai shook his head slightly and answered Chu Genqing.
Things were getting more and more interesting.
First, he had two strange mud dolls that were obviously a pair. Then, he found out a secret about the shipwreck exploration in the deep sea. Now, there was also the so-called curse of the gods.
Ye Kai felt that this seemed to have something to do with his special ability. In the dark, it seemed to guide him to come into contact with these strange things that he had never thought of before.
"He won't die, or rather, he won't die of old age like me. To him, the current him should hope to be more mature and older, right?"
Chu Genqing's words confused Ye Kai once again.
"Hehe, Ye, you will know when you get there. I... really can't explain it clearly."
Chu Genqing shrugged and smiled helplessly. He continued, "He lives at the top of a mountain in Huaxia. I hope this matter can be kept secret. I will take care of all the expenses, equipment, and materials you need to go there. Ye Kai, in this world, I only have two good friends left. One of them is your Uncle Qin, Qin Changsheng. And not one... It was him. I'll thank you on his behalf! "
