Chapter Sixteen: Dust to Dust, Dirt to Dirt
At this moment, Xiaobai had already breathed and pressed the bag with his claws.
A bad premonition made Zhou Ze subconsciously move his body backwards.
"What is in this bag? It won't be those four..."
Xiaobai gave Zhou Ze a blank look, but he lost his previous contempt and contempt.
"I guessed it and asked. Let's leave first, find a place to burn the body, so that they can return to dust and soil!"
Now that he had already rushed to the official road, the speed of the carriage did not slow down. After all, Zhou Ze asked Sanbao to run quickly.
I glanced at the hillside, a hunched figure staring at the direction of the carriage.
Zhou Ze put down the curtain and pointed to the hillside behind him, feeling a little scared.
"The hunchbacked old man didn't leave the hillside. Is he a living person?"
Xiaobai's body was wrapped in a ball, as if he was tired, and said weakly:
"Of course it's a human being. If it weren't a human being, I'd have discovered the clue long ago."
"The wooden stick was about to penetrate the carriage just now. Isn't it very powerful? But why didn't he chase us?"
Xiaobai also took a look, not very worried.
"How can a gravekeeper leave? It's probably similar to those four, and they are limited to the yard. You're talking nonsense, just run away."
Zhou Ze swallowed it up if he was about to say something.
This bodyguard is a bit unreliable, but now there is no choice, so it would be nice if someone protects it.
"I didn't expect that there were all graves here. Didn't you see that yesterday?"
Xiaobai is a little impatient.
"I am a demon and I don't know the things of Taoist priests. Besides, the formation here was complete before. I took out the four corpses of the Life Sacrifice. The Feng Shui here suddenly changed and destroyed the formation. Naturally, everything collapsed. In the future, the Liu family will not flourish and flourish."
Zhou Ze picked up the curtain and looked out the window.
At this moment, mountains and forests have emerged on both sides, a river on the left and Shitou Mountain on the right.
The horses' breathing sounds are getting louder and louder. Racing like this is really exhausting. If the horse is exhausted, it will be a considerable expense.
Zhou Ze couldn't bear to leave it, so he patted the carriage and said.
"Sanbao is slower, go around the mountain ahead and find a flat place to stop."
Sanbao responded and slowed down the carriage. Zhou Ze still looked back. The hunchbacked old man didn't chase him, and he couldn't see the hillside.
"I don't know what kind of official the Liu family is in the capital. The family has such a big battle. Last night, I thought it was a hero who wanted to become a king and subvert the court. After all, the palace looked very much like the imperial palace."
The little white tail slapped on the bag, and the voice disappeared from the previous indifference.
"Of course you have to check this, but being able to abduct so many children to live for life sacrifices, such behavior is no longer vicious. If the Liu family had no such idea, let alone the old Taoist, even the gods would not have taken the initiative to help."
Zhou Ze nodded. Xiaobai's words are right. Without demand, there will naturally be no market, but he will not be able to go back to the capital for a while.
It seems that Xu Gongzhu will come to help you pay attention in the future.
"When I arrived in Hejiang County, I sent a message to the bad coach and asked him to help inquire. As for those old Taoists, do you know where there are such evil magic in this Tang Dynasty?"
Xiaobai shook, turned into a human form, and his eyes looked at Zhou Ze became a little gloomy.
This looks like there is a story at first glance, so he didn't urge him. Xiaobai pursed his lips and said after a while:
"When Xu Gongzhu saved me, she found a talisman remaining on my body, but I didn't remember anything, and I lost most of the demonic power. After raising it for a month, I gradually recovered some memories.
After returning to the demon clan, the patriarch said that the demon clan was saved by humans and must repay his kindness, otherwise the demon clan would have to have an entanglement with this person for generations, and I would be unable to practice. The demonic power gradually dissipated. It took several months before I believed what the patriarch said.
After following Xu Gongzhu for a year, my demonic power was less than 30%, otherwise Xu Gongzhu would not have turned me into a mouse, and she would have gradually recovered after the contract.
As for the talismans on those children, I was nervous to see them. Maybe they were very similar to the ones on me before."
Zhou Ze didn't expect that Xiaobai had experienced these things.
In Zhou Ze's impression, Taoist priests appear in novels or literary works.
Either Maoshan Taoist priests, or they kill demons and eliminate demons to support justice. They are life sacrifices like this, and they are so vicious that they have almost never heard of it.
Suddenly thinking of the Zhenren He who was fighting for power with Teacher Xu Gongzhu, Zhou Ze suddenly frowned.
If such a Taoist priest was in a high position, I wonder what it would bring to this country and the people.
"Even if it is not, it has its origins. Unfortunately, there are too few clues. By the way, do you remember what the talisman is drawing?"
Xiaobai took out a narrow blue glass bottle from his arms and put it in Zhou Ze's hand.
Inside the bottle is half a piece of yellow paper with scorch marks.
The handwriting of cinnabar on it was not clear and confused by blood. Zhou Ze opened it and poured out the talisman paper.
Xiaobai was startled and wanted to stop him, but when he saw Zhou Ze's finger touching the talisman paper, there was no change at all, Xiaobai was stunned.
"Why don't you feel anything when you touch these talisman papers?"
Zhou Ze was stunned.
“How should I feel?”
"Xu Gongzhu was burned when touched by this talisman. Why are you okay?"
Xiaobai reached out to touch him, and Zhou Ze shook his head and patted the carriage board.
Sanbao's car slowed down and his head was exposed when he picked up the curtain.
The moment Xiaobai lifted the curtain, he turned into a cat and lay on Zhou Ze's legs. For the first time, Xiaobai took the initiative to get so close to Zhou Ze, and he slightly raised the corners of his lips.
"What are the instructions for the young master?"
Looking at the puzzled Sanbao, Zhou Ze had a soothing smile on his face.
"Sanbao comes to touch this talisman paper. Have you seen where to sell such paper?"
The Three Treasures said oh, and reached out to take the talisman paper without any warning.
Just as Zhou Ze let go and the talisman paper fell on the fingertips of the Three Treasures, the Three Treasures seemed to be hot with boiling oil. They threw away the talisman paper and jumped into the high place.
The head hit the top of the carriage and the reins and whip in his hand were lost.
He screamed in pain, constantly shaking his left hand.
"Ah, it's so hot!"
Zhou Ze picked up the talisman paper and quickly put it back on the bottle. Then he checked Sanbao's hand. Sure enough, the three fingers on his left hand were already bright red, as if the skin had been corroded. It was removed from the talisman paper and the corrosion stopped.
But I touched it lightly, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, but why is he okay?
Could it be that he came through time and his soul does not belong here?
"I'm so burning. What's this? Why is it so hot, as if I touched the burning charcoal?"
Xiaobai snorted.
"idiot!"
Sanbao looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say a word to Xiaobai, so he was so frustrated.
Zhou Ze wiped his fingers and tried to change the topic.
"It's just a piece of paper. It's okay. We probably ran in a hurry. You scratched your fingers and didn't notice it. You just happened to stop here. You eat something first, and I'll go down."
"What are you going to do?"
Sanbao is usually silly and always likes to ask questions. Xiaobai is a little annoyed. After all, the old man behind him really gave up. It is safest to deal with the body quickly.
"Why are you going to deal with the body?"
Sanbao was so scared that he shook his head, picked up the curtain, held the dry food and a kettle and went to the side of the road, thinking that nothing had happened before.
Zhou Ze was amused.
Xiaobai shook, turned into a human form and fell down. With the bag in his hand, Sanbao kept looking at him.
Found a flat piece of land, which was quite dry and without weeds. Xiaobai opened the bag and the bodies of several children were placed on the ground, with blue-black skin, which was very terrifying.
"Mercury is toxic and will vaporize and evaporate after burning. The smoke and dust cannot be sucked in, and it is best to burn it out quickly."
Xiaobai nodded, and Zhou Ze was still wondering whether to find some dry firewood. Just as Xiaobai waved his sleeves, the four bodies were burning.
It was not that red light, but blue light. You could see the white smoke rising directly and not spreading around. You could see the four corpses turning into ashes.
Soon, four piles of white ashes were left on the ground. Xiaobai collected them and sprinkled them directly into the river water. A few rolled, but there was no trace.
Zhou Ze paused. He wanted to say that this kind of polluted the environment, but he still shut up after thinking about it.
"Oh, it's really the dust has returned to the soil. It's good that I finally left there. You can also relax!"
Zhou Ze couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although he didn't help these children to avenge them, at least it wouldn't be stuck there. It would be good if he resolved his resentment.
Xiaobai stood by the river, his ears moved, and he flashed and fell beside Zhou Ze.
Grasping his arm, lowering his voice, and saying with a vigilant look:
Chapter completed!
