"Ma Xingping..."

Yan Shouyi stepped forward in disbelief and asked: "What is going on?"

I have never seen this kind of thing. Zhu Huansi, who was in the scene, was so frightened that she hid behind Zhu Ling, while Zhu Ling also showed a solemn expression.

Ma Jinxuan’s eyes were red, and she choked and said: “My brother has become like this since he escaped from Qin Shihuang’s tomb.”

“Let me tell you. ."

Mr. Qin Liu sighed and unconsciously rubbed the jade ring on his thumb.

"Three days ago, Xingping suddenly broke into my yard. At that time, he was already covered in injuries and in very poor condition. I quickly arranged for a doctor to nurse him back to health. As a result, not only was Xingping unable to Ping's injuries improved, but more strange symptoms appeared."

"Xing Ping was already a little confused at the beginning, always muttering something in his mouth, and his limbs would tremble from time to time. He suffered convulsions, and then his body gradually lost consciousness and became motionless at first. Then he became thinner and thinner. In just three days, he changed from a strong young man to what you see now."

Everyone took a deep breath, especially Yan Shouyi and Lin Zitong, who were extremely surprised.

They still remember that when they were in Chenjiacun, Ma Xingping was as flexible as a monkey. As a result, in just three days, he became what he is now.

If an uninformed outsider looked at it, they would probably think that Ma Xingping was a vegetable who had not left bed for more than ten years.

At this time, Ma Xingping was sitting there like a skeleton. If it weren't for his eyes that moved from time to time and his chest that occasionally rose and fell slightly, he would have been no different from a corpse.

Mr. Qin Liu said: "The best doctors in Chang'an have been invited to see him, but they can't figure out the reason."

"That's right. Because they don't understand what this disease is." Lao Jin said solemnly.

Mr. Qin Liu looked at Lao Jin and said, "Just now Jinxuan also mentioned that there are descendants of ancient medicine from the Qihuang sect among you, and you may be able to tell what kind of disease Xingping has. You are the heir of the famous ancient doctor, right?"

Yan Shou opened his mouth and said: "Old Jin, do you have any clue?"

Lao Jin didn't answer and stepped forward to give Ma Xingping He felt his pulse, checked his pupils again, and finally shook his head and said:

"Ma Xingping is not sick."

Lin Zitong asked doubtfully: "If he is not sick, then how come he..."< br />
"He is not sick, nor is he poisoned, but - he is cursed." Lao Jin said solemnly.

Cursecurse? !

Everyone was extremely surprised, and there was naturally a certain amount of fear towards this familiar yet unfamiliar word.

If it is a disease, it can be cured; if it is a poison, it can be cured; but the curse is an illusory thing, how to remove it?

Lao Jin shook his head and said: "This is a curse. Ma Xingping must have provoked something in the tomb of Qin Shihuang. With my current knowledge, I am afraid there is nothing I can do, but..."

Lao Jin checked Ma Xingping again and finally came to a conclusion: "According to Ma Xingping's physical condition, if we cannot undo the curse within a week, he may be unable to save himself."

No one present was qualified to doubt Lao Jin's words.

When Ma Jinxuan heard the sad news, she couldn't help but shed tears on the spot.

As strong as she is, she will never be able to bear the pain of losing her brother.

Lin Zitong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "There is still one week left, we will be able to break the curse, Jinxuan, don't give up!"

The only thing that comforts is Leave it to Lin Zitong.

As Yan Shouyi is a man, he naturally needs to be calmer.

He asked Mr. Qin Liu: "Master Liu, when Xingping came back, did he bring something back, say something strange, or do anything strange? Please be careful. Think about it, maybe there will be clues to unlock the curse."

"I was about to talk about this too!"

Mr. Qin Liu said seriously: "Xingping When he just came back, he could still speak some simple words. I heard him repeating one word over and over again when he was unconscious."

　"What did he say?"
< br /> Mr. Qin Liu spoke out four words one by one: "Yangling Tiger Talisman."

"I don't know much about reading, can anyone explain what that is?" Long Fei Cheng scratched his head and asked.

In fact, Lao Jin, Weng Qianxiang, and Zhu Huansi also had the same doubts, but it just so happened that Long Feicheng was willing to ask, so they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Yan Shouyi explained:

“The Yangling Tiger Talisman is a token used by Qin Shihuang to mobilize his troops.”

This Yangling Tiger Talisman is It is made of bronze in the shape of a crouching tiger, which can be divided into two parts. The left and right sides of the tiger's neck each have the same twelve-character inscription in gold seal script:

"The talisman of armor and soldiers, the right is for the emperor, The left is in Yangling."

The meaning of these twelve characters is that the right half of the military talisman is kept by the emperor, and the left half is kept by the generals stationed in Yangling.

Once it is necessary to mobilize the army, the envoy will hold the right half of the sign to verify it. After confirming that it is correct, the troops can be sent directly.

In ancient times, the way of transmitting information was simple, and military symbols were the only evidence. Whoever came with military symbols could command the army. Even if the army was ordered to go to the capital to kill the emperor, the soldiers would do it. .

It can be seen how important this military symbol is.

When Ma Xingping returned from the tomb of Qin Shihuang, he kept talking about the military symbols used by Qin Shihuang to mobilize troops and generals. There must be a connection between them. Yan Shouyi felt that this was the clue.

Zhu Ling said at this time: "I also know about the Yangling Tiger Talisman. It seems to exist in the National Museum. Is it possible that you are going to steal the Yangling Tiger Talisman back?"

The National Museum is not a place you can enter and exit at will, let alone take things out of it.

Even Yan Shouyi does not have absolute self-confidence, and it is not his style to steal things by force.

At this time, Mr. Qin Liu said in a deep voice:

“Actually, the Yangling Tiger Talisman has been stolen a long time ago, and what you see is a fake.”

"What?" Zhu Ling opened his mouth in surprise. This was breaking news.

Mr. Qin Liu continued: "The real Yangling Tiger Talisman will appear in our Chang'an ghost market tomorrow night."

Everyone was confused, what happened to Mr. Qin Liu? Who knows the whereabouts of the Yangling Tiger Talisman, and what is the Chang'an Ghost Market?

Yan Shouyi said humbly: "Please ask Mr. Liu to explain."

Mr. Qin Liu also knew that Yan Shouyi and the others were outsiders and did not understand the inside story of Chang'an. .

He explained patiently:

"Chang'an, as the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, is home to outstanding people. It is precisely because there have been so many princes and generals in this land. , so the ghosts in Chang'an are more numerous and stronger than other cities."

"Chang'an Ghost Market is an event held regularly by the Chang'an Ghost King Family Platform, and members of the Ghost King Family from all over the country will come. There are also some ghost kings who dominate the mountain and are interested in participating. There are even Mr. Yin Yang, disciples of major sects, and preachers of folk religions."

"And in this ghost market, naturally everything sold is It is not something for living people..."
