Chapter 1473

Kong Que sniffed and said softly, "My brother has developed a kind of red rash on his body."

Everyone looked at Kong Que in unison, and at this moment, Yang Lu was also astonished.

A red rash?

Could it be the same curse that they had on their own bodies?

The next moment, Yang Lu beckoned to Wang Kaixuan. Wang Kaixuan naturally understood what Yang Lu meant, so without waiting for Yang Lu to make a move, he directly lifted his shirt to show his back to the others.

Because when they set out, Yang Lu had told them that those who were cursed would develop a red rash on their backs; this was the mark of the curse.

Moreover, if the curse wasn't broken, one would never be able to get rid of it for the rest of their life; this was completely different from the curse he had previously been afflicted with.

The reason Yang Lu knew this was, naturally, because she had been burdened with this curse from the very beginning.

However, she had not told everyone that the purpose of going to the Ancient City of Jingjue was to find the answer to breaking the curse; these matters were simply hidden deep in Yang Lu's heart.

She believed that even if she didn't say anything, some things would eventually yield a result. If she did speak up, it might just add unnecessary worry to everyone. It wasn't that she feared their resentment; on the contrary, it was their expressions of understanding that Yang Lu found impossible to accept.

Sometimes, even the strongest people have a vulnerable side in their hearts. Under these circumstances, Yang Lu naturally chose to conceal it; this matter could not be told to them.

The core point of everything that had happened before was that Yang Lu absolutely could not let them know that she had headed to the Ancient City of Jingjue because she had been cursed.

They couldn't understand the causal relationship behind this, and that was fine; some things were better left unsaid than spoken aloud. It wasn't that Yang Lu wasn't being honest, but rather that she didn't want everyone to have burdens on their minds.

Upon seeing that red rash, Kong Que subconsciously stepped back; she was even somewhat terrified.

She truly couldn't understand why someone else would have the same illness. When she saw all this, Kong Que said with a trembling voice, "That's right, it's exactly this kind of red rash, exactly the same."

Yang Lu hurriedly asked, "How did your brother get this red rash? When did it start?"

Kong Que didn't even think about it and said directly, "It was after he went to Mount Zhelong. My brother used to go there to gather herbs and hunt; he went to Mount Zhelong to gather herbs to help supplement our living."

"But three years ago, when he went to the hinterlands of Mount Zhelong for the last time, I don't know where he went, but when he came back, he had this red rash on his body."

"And this red rash seems impossible to get rid of. The local villagers said my brother was cursed, and that perhaps only the Ghost-Seeing Grass could remove this thing."
