The whole day's excitement comes to an end in the evening.
Two of Wang Shi's family were drunk, leaving Wang Shi and Wang Nian sober. After rejecting Zhang Yan's arrangement for them to stay at the inn, he put the two drunkards on the cart and put Wang Nian down on them. After that, Wang Shi pushed them away with a fight with his hands.
When leaving, he said, "Live a good life. When you feel wronged, run home. Dad will make the decision for you!" to his daughter Wang Qin, and then he laughed and laughed with the relatives of Wangjiazhuangzi and rushed out of the city gate to return before the curfew. Zhuangzi.
At this point, Wang Qin, the daughter of the Wang Shi family, is considered a member of the Zhang family.
Everything in the new house was festive. After the family waited for all the guests to leave, they hurriedly walked around the front and back of the yard. Except for Zhang Yan, everyone was full of curiosity about this new house. Including Wang Lanping, she stayed in the main room to entertain guests when she came over in the morning, and she didn't even have time to see her new home.
"Wow! What a big house! The bed is so spacious! Are these beddings new? Second brother, are you secretly shopping for me and my mother again?" Zhang Huiyuan looked around hastily the last time she came over. I took a look around, but I never saw so many things at home. And many of them are new.
Although Zhang Huiyuan was the only one making a fuss, both Wang Lanping and Zhang Shun smiled brightly when they saw the house.
This will be my future home.
"Okay, Xiaoqin, you two go take a shower. I have boiled enough hot water in the kitchen. Let's see if this bathhouse works." Wang Lanping whispered in the new wife's ear. In the past, Zhang Yan helped his eldest brother wash and tidy up, but now Wang Qin naturally has to do this job.
"Okay! Okay, mother!" Wang Qin's face turned slightly red. But it's not pretentious. She was originally a farmer's daughter, but now she liked Zhang Shun, and she had known Zhang Shun's situation for a long time. At this time, she nodded and pushed Zhang Shun, who was also blushing, back to their wedding room. I don’t know whether I should go get a change of clothes first or stop by to chat with the young couple in private.
Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to wash, and he didn't care about his younger sister and his mother wandering around the house. He said hello and went back to his house. It is also a place that everyone else in the house subconsciously avoids.
When he opened the door, he saw a faint light coming from the left corner of the room.
Half a foot around the corner was empty, except for the altar that Zhang Yan had built for Wu Yuan himself and a large candle as thick as an arm that had been replaced many times. This kind of candle has a small flame and can burn steadily for a whole day. It is most suitable for such long-term erosion rituals.
After walking into the room, closing the door, and setting up a blindfold, Zhang Yan walked to the corner and sat down cross-legged in front of the candle and altar.
Only the last stack of four stacks of talismans that surrounded the altar with Bai Zhu was now left. Including the pile that was burned at the beginning, Zhang Yan had already helped Wu Yuan spend four of the last five days of his life. Tonight is the day of great joy for eldest brother Zhang Shun. It is also the last day for the predecessor of the Zhang Yan Gang to settle his life and death grudges. He should also be happy.
If you look carefully at the few hairs inside the altar, most of them have been covered by a layer of gray talisman paper dust. If you don't look carefully, you won't find anything underneath the talisman paper dust.
In fact, it is not very reasonable for Zhang Yan to settle his grudge today. Because the situation did not unfold as he initially expected. Wu Yuan is even still in Langyuan City at this moment, instead of running away as he thought a few days ago.
This is what Zhou Cang took the time to tell Zhang Yan while eating dinner today. It is said that there was a delay in getting the news from the county governor's office. After county governor Xiao Wangcheng got Wu Yuan's illness note, he did not approve the sick leave with a wave of a red pen as everyone thought. Instead, Wu Yuan was asked to continue to stay in Langyuan City despite his illness and was not allowed to leave without permission.
Zhou Cang was not from the local government, so he couldn't say whether there was any hidden meaning in Wu Yuan's dismissal of his illness complaint.
But Zhang Yan had an arrow on the string and had no choice but to shoot.
There are many techniques for hating victory. The victory-weary puppet that cursed Wu Qingling to death before, also known as the "villain", can only be used after obtaining sufficient spell-casting media. Moreover, it is easier to succeed against ordinary people with low soul strength. On the contrary, if the medium is uneven or the target is a warrior, it may fail.
Once the victory-weary technique fails, there will be backlash. Otherwise, why would this method be swept into the side category?
The method used by Zhang Yan to curse and kill Wu Yuan is not comparable to the "Puppet of Wean Sheng" used to deal with Wu Qingling before. His method is called the "Five Decline and Curse of Death", and it is not only effective for ordinary people, it is also effective for monks and warriors. And it only requires a small amount of casting medium to cast. As long as the opponent's soul strength is lower than Zhang Yan's, or he doesn't know how to resist, he will definitely die even if he notices something is wrong.
However, the casting time of the Five Curse of Death method is very long, five days is fixed, and once started, it cannot be interrupted, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted, and the same will be suffered from the consistent backlash of the victory-weary technique.
Therefore, even if Wu Yuan did not leave Langyuan City and become a city administrator who temporarily left his post as he had best expected, Zhang Yan could not stop his killing move. Wu Yuan will undoubtedly die today.
Without any delay, Zhang Yan sat down cross-legged and began to recite the incantation silently. At the same time, he picked up the five talismans from the last pile and began to light them one by one. The wisps of paper ash also floated into the altar with the power of the ritual. The few hairs placed.
When the last piece of talisman paper burned out, the pattern of the magic circle on the magic platform also heated up like a brand and ignited. Then it quickly collapsed and covered the paper ashes and hair inside. After a few breaths, Only a small handful of ashes remained, and the original appearance was no longer visible.
At the same time, the white candle that had been burning in front of the altar also gradually became smaller and smaller, and finally went out on its own. Only the green smoke rose up for a few feet and then dissipated.
At the same time, Wu Yuan, who was sitting in his study writing furiously, suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain in his chest, which was more painful than all the times in the past few days combined. He could even hear the heartbeat in his chest. tearing sound. He knew he was going to die, but the severe pain took away all his strength. He could only grab the paper on the desk that he was writing on a moment ago, and then his vision went dark and he fell down along the chair.
After two puffs, he lost his breath.
After a cup of tea, the warrior who was on guard in the house found that he could not detect the aura that should belong to Wu Yuan in the study, and suddenly shouted something bad in his heart. But when they rushed into the study, they had time to see Wu Yuan's rapidly cooling body. There is no way to save the day.
But when they saw the paper Wu Yuan was holding tightly in his hand, their hearts beat wildly. While telling no one in the house to leave, he notified the Yamen and the garrison urgently.
The dignified official of Langyuan City died at home. This matter is no small matter. Not only did everyone in the yamen get up from their beds and feel anxious, but even the city guard Zhou Cang went into the city overnight and went to Wu Mansion to personally investigate the scene.
