"Let's go and have a look first." As I said, I secretly sacrificing the invisible needle and making all the preparations.

This Taoist priest sneakily borrowed evil magic to steal jade, and then pretended to die and avoid suspicion. This shows that it is definitely not a good thing, and I must not take it lightly!

Wu Dachuan hid behind me in great horror, and looked left and right from time to time, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly rush out.

The big rooster walked in the alley, walked to the innermost wooden door and stopped, and kept screaming at the inside.

"That's it." Wu Dachuan pointed forward: "He died in front of this door that day."

I walked up and pushed the door, and found that the door was locked from inside.

"Hmm?" I was immediately confused.

Since he has died outside the door and the police have also inspected the scene, even if the door is closed, it should be locked from the outside.

Are there anyone living here?

"Does there any other relatives in his family?" I turned to ask Wu Dachuan.

"No." Wu Dachuan shook his head and said, "When the police asked me that day, several of his neighbors were also taking notes on the scene. I heard them say that the house was rented by the old man and had just moved in and out. Apart from him, he had never seen anyone coming and leaving here. I guess he would live by himself."

The tenant died in front of the door. Even if the owner wanted to cover up his eyes and sublet it as soon as possible, it would probably not be that easy. What's more, the police would not allow it... There shouldn't be anyone in this house!

I pulled out the two swords of ghosts and gods, carefully inserted them into the crack of the door, and slowly opened the door bolt.

As soon as the door opened, the big cock rushed in yelling.

I followed closely with my two swords.

The house was very messy, with thick dust everywhere, not like I had just been idle for a few days.

There were many footprints scattered on the ground, but they were all covered with something. Obviously, these were all left by the police who were inspecting the scene.

The big cock ran straight into the bedroom, jumped onto the bed, and kept flapping his wings to jump onto the top of the cabinet opposite, screaming non-stop!

There is something weird about it!

I moved a chair from the living room and stepped on it to see a small box in the dust on the top of the cabinet.

The box is very delicate, with mahogany hollowing and gold wire wrapped thread.

"This is the box I put on jade!" As soon as I picked up the box, Wu Dachuan recognized it at a glance.

The inside of the box was empty, and the jade originally contained inside disappeared. There were several broken holes on the edge of the box, and you could vaguely see the wood chips hanging on it. It should have been caused by breaking through the wooden door of Wu Dachuan's house.

It seems that I've inferred that the guy must have done something on this jade to trigger the box to fly over by itself.

But, where is the jade? Where is that guy?

"Ah! Zhang, Master Zhang, look..." Wu Dachuan suddenly screamed, his face pale.

I turned my head and saw that the lively big rooster had already collapsed to the ground, with a trembling corner of my mouth and shaking his claws gently.

The feathers on its body kept shaking, and something seemed to be squirming under its skin. Immediately afterwards, a centipede drilled into its belly and crawled out, one, two...

In the blink of an eye, the big rooster seemed to have turned into a centipede nest. Hundreds of centipede broke out and gathered towards the door.

On the floor in front of the bedroom door, there is a basin-sized cinnabar mark with a very distinctive chicken claw mark on it!

"This is... a witchcraft curse!"

I suddenly woke up: "He put this box here on purpose. If someone sees through his tricks and keeps chasing him here, as long as he steps into this gate, he will be poisoned by witchcraft and will be eaten by hundreds of centipedes!"

"This poison is extremely powerful. If the big rooster hadn't blocked us for a while, the consequences could be imagined."

When Wu Dachuan heard this, he was immediately frightened and sweated!

While wiping cold sweat, he asked tremblingly, "Then...Master Zhang, what should I do? It really doesn't work. I don't want this jade anymore. Let's stop pursuing it, it's better than..."

He glanced at the big rooster who died tragically all over the ground, swallowed hard, and choked back the second half.

His meaning is very obvious. Even if he is troubled by some centipedes, he is much better than tragic death.

"Take off your clothes." I jumped out of the chair and ordered anxiously.

"Ah?" He thought he had heard it wrong and looked at me in confusion.

"Hurry up, see if there is any mark on your chest!"

After hearing what I said, Wu Dachuan quickly pulled out his clothes in a few seconds.

Sure enough, there was a red centipede printed on the skin on his chest!

"This...what is going on! I didn't have it when I was taking a shower yesterday." Wu Dachuan was so scared that his hands were numb. He wanted to reach out to wipe it off, but he was a little afraid and looked at me blankly.

"It's true!" I said while motioning him to put on his clothes again: "It seems that the piece of jade you got is itself a witchcraft seal."

"The centipede that appeared in your house was just the first appearance of the Gu trace. After the Taoist priest pointed a drop of blood on it, the witchcraft will be completely activated. You are the first person to be branded. No matter who the witchcraft kills, a second will appear on your body. When nine centipedes are painted, it will be your death."

"You are sentenced to death now, but it's just a reprieve. How long can you delay depends on how quickly this guy hurts people."

"In other words, your life is completely in his hands."

"Then..." Wu Dachuan was stunned for a moment, and knelt down on the ground with a pounce: "Master Zhang, you must save me! I, Wu Dachuan, have never done anything bad, and I haven't lived enough, so I don't want to die..."

"Get up first." I pulled him up from the ground and said with a serious face: "As a businessman of evil things, I have encountered such a thing as borrowing evil things to harm people, so I can't ignore it. But now I'll ask you a few questions, and you must answer honestly, which is related to your life."

"Yes, yes." Wu Dachuan wiped a handful of tears mixed with cold sweat and nodded repeatedly: "Master Zhang, ask, I promise not to tell a lie."

"Okay, the first question is, before this, do you know that Taoist priest?"
