Curse back: As a swordsman, what's wrong with a happy ending?

……

"The senior specialist believes that the three of you have touched... or reached the threshold of the special grade." Ye Mo Zhengdao supported his hands on the podium.

Glass is reading a comic book, so this doesn't sound like it has anything to do with her.

"Tell me a fable from our place..." Su Ze leaned on the desk with his chin in his hand, looking straight ahead.

Upon hearing this, Xia Youjie glanced at Su Ze, hummed, and waited for his next words.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor in the State of Qi who was at odds with a general. However, the general was very famous and had repelled foreign enemies many times, so he enjoyed a great reputation."

Xia Yujie tapped the table and listened to his story.

Ye Moth Zheng Dao continued: "In the past few months, you have performed very well in the several first-level curse spirit subjugation operations. This is also the reason why the senior specialist made this judgment--"

Su Ze whispered, "But the general has been fighting outside for many years, and he is a warrior, so he doesn't understand documents and these twists and turns. And the doctor can go to court to see the king every day, so he often slanders the general--"

Xia Youjie has heard similar fables. The ending is generally that the princes are stupid and listen to the slander of the doctor and alienate the general... If you want to enhance the warning nature of the story, it will generally be said that the neighboring country took advantage of this opportunity to invade, and the princes will regret that they should not get close to villains after their country is destroyed...

but……

"——But the general is not stupid, he also has his confidants in the court. After hearing about the doctor's despicable behavior, he surrounded his house with his personal soldiers that night, cut off the guy's head himself, and went to the court the next day to apologize. In the end, the princes were forced to be "very happy" that the villain was killed, and the king and the generals were at peace."

Xia Youjie was dumbfounded. What kind of fable was this? It was too dramatic.

"This story tells us that a blacksmith must be strong himself, otherwise he can do nothing even with the 'authority'." Su Ze concluded lazily.

To a certain extent, a general who holds military power is indeed uncontrollable.

Geto Suguru speechlessly threw the frog curse spirit in his hand, trying to wake Gojo Satoru up.

"The second story--" Su Ze continued without even taking a breath.

Glass also became slightly interested and put down the comic book.

"During the Tang Dynasty, there was a poor scholar who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. The journey was long and arduous. One day, a sudden rainstorm trapped him in the mountains. He met a white fox whose leg was injured by a falling rock. The fox could speak human language and sounded like a beautiful lady. The scholar was fascinated for a while—"

Although the conventional ending is that the white fox has practiced for a long time and can transform into a human form, and lives in seclusion in the mountains with the scholar who saved her...

But with the previous experience, Xia Youjie did not dare to make a hasty conclusion. He just watched Su Ze perform quietly.

"The scholar saved the white fox and followed it to a dilapidated temple. He thought it was a good place to stay temporarily. But the white fox turned out to be a mountain monster that feeds on the essence of young men and has killed many people..."

At this point the truth seems to be revealed. The scholar is about to be tragically sucked dry, which serves as a warning to people in the world to be careful in everything and not be tempted by beauty.

"——When the white fox was about to take action in the middle of the night, he suddenly found that the scholar was gone. When he tried to act again, he found that he was trapped in a magic circle and could not perform any magic. It turned out that the scholar had made an appointment with a Taoist priest who was traveling here. One of them would lure the monster while the other would perform magic."

It is indeed a story with many twists and turns.

Naoko sighed secretly, and Geto Xiayou also sighed softly, trying to summarize the truth. On the other side, Gojo Satoru, who was awakened by the impact, was dazed and listened to Yega Masamichi's speech.

Su Ze saw their reactions, raised his eyebrows and continued, "Who would have thought that the scholar would turn around and stab the scholar to death with a sword, then lift his Taoist robe and lower his body, revealing his true form - a yellow-skinned creature. It turns out that he and the white fox had already arranged a deal, one absorbing the essence and the other eating the flesh and blood. The scholar became one of the countless dead."

The sudden dark style of the story was shocking. Nozomi was speechless for a moment, and Geto Suguru's mouth twitched constantly.

Su Ze concluded calmly: "This story tells us not to trust others blindly. How dare you go to a Taoist priest you just met to be bait? Also, never relax until the very end. And then... be careful of traps."

This completely unconventional story left Master Xia speechless.

"...You really should write a novel." He complained helplessly.

“These are all very meaningful lessons.”

Gojo Satoru has completely woken up, Su Ze no longer tells his Su-style fables, but Geto Suguru begins to guess the meaning behind them.

Over there, Yega Masamichi finally said the final key: "The high school has decided to let you defeat a stronger cursed spirit—"

Several people focused their attention for a moment.

"A conservative estimate is that it is quasi-special grade, and it is very likely to have reached the special grade level... The four of you go together."

He said seriously.

……

"Am I...beautiful?"

In the dark and cramped warehouse basement, a hoarse voice as harsh as a grinding mill sounded from behind Su Ze.

"Sorry, I have someone I like."

Su Ze spoke calmly, and at the same time, he drew out Murasame and stabbed it straight at the source of the sound. Along with the piercing scream, there was the clanging sound of steel colliding.

Su Ze gripped the handle of the knife with both hands and pushed forward fiercely. Unexpectedly, a huge pair of scissors transformed by cursed power suddenly appeared on Murasame's path, and then blocked the fierce blade.

Only then did he see the true face of the cursed spirit behind him - long, thick, messy black hair that hung down to his chest, countless pairs of slender animal pupils densely covered in hair, and a face wrapped in bandages that exuded a rotten and fishy smell. But the most eye-catching and also one of the symbols was the bloody mouth that stretched all the way to the roots of the ears.

——The woman with the slit mouth.

One of the most story-telling and talked-about ghost stories in the East.

"……whispering sound."

Su Ze simply let go of the long sword, took a leap to create a little distance, and at the same time quickly formed seals with both hands. His palms were facing up, the fingers of his left hand were bent, and the index finger and little finger of his left hand were hooked around the index finger of his right hand.

The pure Qi surged out, and blue lightning also appeared along with the blue sword.

He extended his right middle finger from between his left middle finger and ring finger, pressed his left thumb against his right little finger, and then pressed his right thumb against his ring finger.

——This is the Taoist Leizu Seal.

The green energy with sparks of lightning rushed forward in an instant. The strange luster and momentum became stronger and stronger. The shape of the arc was even clearly visible - the small swords lingering around the Zhen Gua were born in circles.

The sixth cave heaven: Chicheng Cave, also known as "Purple Jade Peaceful Heaven"

Su Ze's dark eyes were instantly covered with cyan-gold electric clouds, and in the next moment, the flying sword carried by the Qi wave pierced into the chest of the woman with the slit. The giant scissors formed by the cursed power failed to stop the flying sword.

After that, Su Ze lightly said "Command", and the lightning sparks that reached the sky instantly touched the whole body of the woman with the slit.

"Come out, you guys--" He made way. The huge and majestic dragon instantly broke through the walls and floor of the warehouse, and the giant dragon's mouth fiercely bit the waist and abdomen of the slit-mouthed woman.

There are three people sitting or standing on the dragon head, front and back.

"Oh, is this the special-grade cursed spirit?" Glass hid behind the two people and peeked in.

"Do you think she was expelled?" Gojo Satoru lowered his sunglasses a little, revealing his dazzling sapphire blue pupils.

"...You obviously have six eyes, yet you still ask such questions." Geto Suguru jumped into the air and summoned a falcon-like cursed spirit to land on him.

I am still thinking about Su Ze's fable in my heart.
