I should marry the traitor

Chapter 195 Seven Mysterious Curse Seals
Dashan, Mang Village.

The spring breeze shakes the green trees and new buds sprout in the rice fields.

Purple wild flowers sway slowly in the spring breeze, and emerald green bamboo shoots shuttle through the dense bamboo forest.

Zuo Zhu squatted on the ground, gently threw away the soil with a hoe, then dug out the fresh bamboo shoots from the soil and placed them in a yellow bamboo basket.

Spring bamboo shoots are very tender and delicious, and they taste great just by being stewed in salt water.

Zuo Zhu was humming a song while working and was in a very good mood.

In a few months it will be Zuo Zhu's sixteenth birthday. By then he will be able to inherit the Zhenwu school, and it will be just a matter of time before he can revive Daqian and save his brother.

Moreover, during this period of time, he felt that his body was becoming stronger and stronger, which laid a solid foundation for his future practice.

Mang Village is a good place. Zuo Zhu even feels happy living here. After he helps his brother to pacify the world in the future, he might want to come back again.

Accompanied by a somewhat hesitant breeze, the blind old man had arrived at the bamboo forest without knowing when and stood behind Zuo Zhu.

Zuo Zhu put on the backpack and turned around to see the blind old man standing behind him. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled happily: "Why are you here, blind grandpa? I just dug some bamboo shoots. I'll give you two."

The blind old man did not answer, but silently stared at Zuozhu with his blind eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Come with me, Zuozhu. Your teacher is back and he wants to see you."

"Ah? Is the teacher back? Let's go quickly. I haven't seen the teacher for a long time."

"Um……"

The blind man walked slowly with his left assistant. The blind man's steps were very slow, as if he was old.

But the journey eventually came to an end, and about half an hour later, the two returned to the cottage at the foot of the mountain.

At the door of the cottage, Zuo Ci seemed to have been sitting at the door waiting for a long time.

But when he got closer and saw Zuo Ci's face, Zuo Zuo was really surprised.

Although Zuo Ci once had gray hair, wrinkles on his face, and was even blind, he gave people the impression of being very energetic, like a lively old man.

But at this time, Zuo Ci exuded an aura of desolation, and looking at him gave people a feeling of being on the decline.

"Teacher, how did you become like this?" Zuo Zhu was frank and asked directly the doubts in his mind.

Zuo Ci looked at Zuo Zhu and said, "The music stopped, the light of the body suddenly disappeared, the water clung to the body, the scene was not let go, and the eyes blinked several times - this is called the five declines of the lesser celestial being. Your teacher has reached this stage."

Relying on the soul-nourishing method of the Qixuan School, Zuo Ci's lifespan has far exceeded that of his peers, but living a life of mediocrity will eventually come to an end, and his time limit has come.

Moreover, although he did not suffer any injuries in Xuzhou, his all-out fight for the imperial seal had completely exhausted his energy. Now the five signs of decay have completely eroded his body, and he has no chance of survival.

Unless he could obtain the Jade Seal of the Ancestral Dragon, or in other words, find a way to change his body.

Zuo Zhu didn’t quite understand what Zuo Ci said, but he understood: “Teacher, do you mean that you are almost dead?”

"That's right." Zuo Ci nodded: "My time is coming and I am about to die."

Zuo Zhu was stunned, he had never thought that his teacher who looked so strong was about to die, but if he thought about it carefully, Zuo Ci was old and death was never far away from him.

Zuo Ci stared at Zuo Zhu with his blind eyes. For a moment, Zuo Zhu felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and even felt a little scared. "Zuo Zhu, are you willing to help the teacher?"

Zuo Ci finally spoke. His voice was calm, but it made Zuo Zhu feel depressed.

The teacher in front of him seemed completely different from before. Zuo Zhu could not sense any kindness from the other person at all. He only felt endless fear and pressure.

"Is there anything I can do for you, teacher?"

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Zhu withstood the huge pressure and spoke. For some reason he wanted to escape, but he knew he couldn't.

Not to mention that a dying innate is also an innate. He has no possibility of escaping in front of Zuo Ci. There is also a blind grandfather who is an acquired warrior next to him, and he is not someone Zuo Zu can resist.

Although the blind grandfather had a good relationship with him on weekdays, if he turned against the teacher at a time like this, the blind grandfather would probably... also be his enemy.

"Of course, there is something you can do for the teacher."

"But before that, please accept the gift from the teacher."

"This is probably what you have been looking forward to for a long time - soon you will have the power you expect."

Before Zuo Ci finished his words, a one-horned snake with a colorful body suddenly jumped out from the shadows, jumped onto Zuo Zu's shoulder in an instant, and opened its mouth to bite him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Zuo Zhu screamed loudly and tried to struggle, but the blind old man behind him reached out and used his acquired energy to control Zuo Zhu's body, making him unable to move at all.

That was not a snake demon, but a spirit transformed from Zuo Ci's Seven Mysterious Souls.

The Seven Mysterious Spirit Snake bit Zuo Zhu's neck, but did not cause any damage to his body, because what the Seven Mysterious Spirit Snake bit was the soul.

The blind old man looked at Zuo Zhu with pity in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

Even if they are dying, they are still innate. What's more, Zuo Ci has backup plans for them, so they have no possibility of resistance at all.

Therefore, even if you feel it is unbearable, you should ask Zuo Zhu to endure it temporarily.

Seeing Zuo Zhu's painful appearance, Zuo Ci smiled and said:

"Zuo Zhu, please be patient for a moment. This snake is called the Seven Mysterious Spirit Snake. It will not eat your flesh and blood."

"The reason you feel pain is because the Seven Mysterious Spiritual Snakes will carve a mark on your soul."

"This seal is called the Seven Mysterious Curse Seal. This seal can engrave the traces of time on your soul, thereby deceiving the heavens."

"Your body is actually strong enough. As long as you use the curse to hide the age of your soul from the heavens, it won't be a problem to start working in a school early."

Upon hearing this, although Zuo Zhu knew that Zuo Ci certainly had bad intentions, he still gritted his teeth and endured the heart-piercing pain.

Only the blind old man sighed slightly behind Zuo Zhu. It was true that the Seven Profound Curse Seal did have such an effect, but everything had a price, and deceiving the way of heaven was even more so.

However, Zuo Zhu only gained the qualification to be promoted to a new school a few months in advance, but what he had to pay for it was a significant reduction in his lifespan, and it might be difficult for him to live beyond the age of forty.

Originally, Zuo Ci should not have done such a thing of exhausting his resources, but he had lost too much energy in this battle for the Jade Seal. He could no longer wait until the day when Zuo Zhu came of age, and he had to obtain Zuo Zhu's fresh body before he died.
