Chapter 552: The Cursed Ancient City (Part II)
Adullah's father died after saying these words.
In less than an hour after his death, his body lost all its moisture and became a dried corpse of less than half a meter.
At that time, Adullah, who was only 11 years old, endured her grief and used the worst money left by the family to cremate her father.
After that, Adullah began her own survival path.
I don't know if there really is a curse in the road, and Adullah's luck is extremely bad.
Although he is very smart and serious, no matter what he does, it does not end well.
The workshop where he went to work or the place of work in other parts of the Great Moon Country either had an accidental fire, or he was hit by a reckless customer who broke the dishes, or he was inexplicably blackmailed by some bad guests, in short, nothing good happened, and within three or four months of his place of work, such a thing would definitely happen.
Gradually, Adullah gradually gained some fame, but it was not very good, people called him the good luck Adullah to his face, and behind his back, he called him the cursed Adula of the devil of bad luck.
Adullah wandered and stumbled until he was seventeen years old, during which time he almost changed more than thirty jobs, although unlucky, but because he was more intelligent, he honed his miscellaneous skills.
Later, because of his bad luck Adula's reputation spread too well, he couldn't find a job locally, and he couldn't get along, so in desperation, he began to follow his father's old path and came to the city on the border of the Great Moon Country, and began to become a caravan man.
It's just that bad luck seems to have followed him to the border, and in the first few years, he was also very miserable, and he didn't make any money, but the transaction across the desert was like this, some people were lucky and some people were unlucky. But no one noticed that it was the bad luck brought by Adullah, which kept him mixed up for a few years.
Finally, his caravan was about to go bankrupt and disband, and the last time he was trafficking goods, Adullah accidentally saved an old man who was almost dying of thirst in the desert, and brought the old man to Otsuki at his own expense.
Unexpectedly, this old man turned out to be a rich man with a big moon, and his identity was the same as Adura's father, a big moon mage.
He listened to Adullah's account of his tragic experience, and was finally moved by compassion. He said that his days were numbered, and since Adullah saved his life, he would share half of the bad luck for Adullah, and bring the bad luck to hell or the next life.
So, he performed a ritual for Adullah, and after this ritual, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, or how, Adula felt that his luck had changed a little better.
If I had to say it. Adullah feels that his luck seems to be half as good as before, at least it won't drag down a team so much.
That mage soon after. died, and he left Adullah a comparison of money, a sum of money that would make ordinary people worry about half their lives.
After that, Adullah did not use the money to live comfortably. Because of his bad luck, Adula has developed a strong character and many abilities since he was a child, like beaten steel. Knocked out of impurities again and again, and became stainless steel, he already had his own set, and soon, he organized a caravan and began to trade between the Great Moon Kingdom and the Qiancheng of Qiuzi.
It's just that his luck, after all, is still a little worse than ordinary people, although trade doesn't happen every time, but there are always various accidents.
Adullah has been trading for nearly twenty years for so many years, and if ordinary people hadn't died for so long, they would have become rich long ago, and although Adullah was capable and familiar with the route, he hadn't made any big money in the end.
His caravan, at its most, had almost reached 10,000 taels of gold, but several successive failures or encounters with bandits became 2,000 taels of gold again, until the last time, he encountered a sandstorm again, and more than 4,000 taels of gold were buried in the desert, and he still owed about 800 taels of gold.
However, although Adullah's luck is really bad, but after so many years, his character and ability have accumulated a good reputation, and he has a group of hardcore brothers, those brothers did not abandon him, just waiting for Adullah to make a comeback and then follow him out of the mountain again, and the creditors did not force the debt too much, they all know that Adullah is a capable and charismatic person, and his enemy is just his fate, so he gave Adullah a long repayment period.
But because of his reputation for bad luck, everyone is not very willing to lend him money.
……
Adullah said this, sighed, and said to Su Peng: "I don't have much confidence in my luck anymore, so I must be proficient in my skills, and the chances of my survival are smaller than others, so I must have solid skills." ”
"And over the years, I've also thought that the source of our family's bad luck is the city in the desert that my father saw, and the barrel that can make people unlucky...... I even thought that someone had put our family's blood or hair into the barrel, but after a while, I found out that it wasn't. ”
"For so many years, I haven't stopped exploring, and finally I found some clues after the end, it turned out that the thing my father got was a very famous thing, and in the Great Moon Kingdom, someone had also obtained it, this kind of thing is called 'Doom Weapon'."
"Doom Artifact?"
When Su Peng heard the name, he couldn't help but ask, the story of Adulla is indeed very impressive, this is simply a history of tragic struggle.
"Well, that's the name."
Adullah nodded and said, "I found some records of the ancient books of the Great Moon Kingdom, which record the story of this doom artifact...... Those doom artifacts don't necessarily have to be prayer barrels, and their functions are not the same, but they have a consistent function, that is, they will bring bad luck to the person who uses it. ”
"This kind of doom magic weapon, as long as it is used, it will be recognized as the master's breath, and the doom magic weapon itself will have a certain function of reducing bad luck, and there are many special abilities, but once you leave the master, the master will have all kinds of calamities, and die as if he has a curse."
"I don't know what others do, the reason why I found this clue is that when my father died, the changes in his body were the same as the situation after death after the owners of those bad luck magic weapons recorded in ancient books lost their magic weapons, and this kind of bad luck may be passed down for many generations."
"That's why, although I used to have money, I never had children, because I was afraid of passing on my bad luck to them...... So I never got married, I was always alone. ”
"As for the place where the doom artifact came out, I have also conducted an investigation for twenty years, and finally found some clues...... Those doom artifacts are from the ancient city of the forest prison you said. ”
When Su Peng heard this, his face moved, and he said, "Are you sure it's from the Ancient City of Forest?" Do you know what this city is about? ”
"It's not a lot, it's just a scratch."
Adullah shook his head and said, "Actually, about four or five thousand years ago, the Western Regions were not like this, at that time, between the Western Regions and the Great Moon Country, although it was a desert, there were many oases...... At that time, the city of Qiuzi Qiancheng had not yet been built, and I could not find any records here, but the Great Moon Kingdom also had a history of five or six thousand years, and I found some ancient records in the Great Moon. ”
"Four or five thousand years ago, among the large and small oases in the Western Regions, there were many tribes or small countries, and some of these small tribes were perhaps as big as Qiuzi Qiancheng, but they were self-sufficient. The largest oasis is the size of a whole or half a state and county in the Central Plains, which is enough to establish a country. ”
"The ancient city of Senhell was established by a tribe called the Qingjiao clan, but at that time it had little connection with the Central Plains, and although some tribes had reached the knowledge of being able to build a city, their customs were extremely barbaric...... They practiced a semi-slavery system for the whole people, and all the people who ruled over the city belonged to the king, and there were no merchants, no commoners, only slaves. ”
"They set a strict hierarchy for slaves, and each high-ranking slave can dominate the slaves of the lower level to a certain extent, but will be absolutely dominated by the ruler, but because of this system, except for the slaves at the bottom, every slave at the top has a certain amount of power, but it is quite stable."
"But this Green Prison Clan has multiplied very quickly, with a total number of hundreds of thousands, occupying the largest land and the most fertile oasis here...... But suddenly, four or five thousand years ago, overnight, it disappeared into history. ”
"The author of the ancient books I found doesn't know what happened to the Dao, but I know the Dao, the most important record of the Qingjiao clan before the disappearance is to establish an ancient city called the Sen Prison, but where the ancient city of the Sen Prison is and what it looks like, no one knows the Dao."
"And those oases, in the past thousand years, have quickly turned into deserts, and now people don't even know where the Qingjiao clan survived back then."
"I myself saw the symbols on the barrel from the portrait of the barrel of doom left by my father, which are the same as some unique symbols of the Qingjiao clan recorded in ancient books, and it was only in combination with the disappearance of the Qingjiao clan that I guessed that what my father saw in the desert at that time may be the illusion of the ancient city of the forest prison, and those people may be the disappeared Qingjiao clan."
Adullah said after the last word.
Su Peng listened, nodded slightly, and kept thinking.
What Adula said, Su Peng felt that there was logic in it, and it should be the truth.
And the doom that Adula described that could be passed on, as well as the vision that Adulla's father saw in the desert, made Su Peng think of another thing.
"That could be what happened in the ancient city of the Forest, how can it be similar to what the True God Cult did? And the doom that he described that could be passed on was something else...... It can be inherited by blood, and it can bring bad luck to the family, how does it sound like bad karma? (To be continued......)
