"You all leave here first, I will handle this!"

Li Chuandao took the talisman handed to him by Lin Xue, then lit it in his hand and threw it in different places.

As the talisman landed.

Several more fierce hissing sounds rang out in the air.

"Junior brothers and sisters, let's head outside first!"

Hei Jiao tugged at Lin Xue, then led Tian Ze out of the mass grave area.

As the Fiery Talisman took effect, the pit sizzled as it burned.

The old locust tree spirit hiding inside couldn't resist coming out.

Li Chuandao had already made preparations, directly using ropes and various talismans to wrap around and bind the old locust tree.

Next, the lightning tribulation will be triggered to strike the locust tree spirit to death.

In the end, only a blackened locust tree branch remained on the ground.

Li Chuandao picked up the item; it was a valuable treasure, capable of being used to create a powerful magic weapon.

The mass grave was burned to ashes.

Li Chuandao called over several of his disciples and they recited the Rebirth Mantra twice together.

This can be considered a way to help these wandering ghosts find peace.

After dealing with the locust tree spirit in the mountains, the four returned to the carriage and continued their journey towards Ping'an Town.

"Master, this locust tree branch must be a treasure, right?"

Hei Jiao looked at the black tree branch in Li Chuandao's hand and asked.

"Hmm, once it's polished smooth and made into a magical artifact, it should be very powerful!"

Li Chuandao carefully examined the black twig in his hand, feeling quite satisfied.

This trip wasn't a waste of time; I got a treasure.

Soon, the carriage left the forest and came to a wide open road.

The sun was blazing, and unlike the gloomy atmosphere of the mountains and forests, it felt quite hot here.

The four of them found a place with a small river to stop and rest. They weren't tired, but the horses, which had been running all the way, needed to rest for a while.

Heijiao led the horses over to drink water, while Tianze took out some dry rations.

"Dry biscuits are too hard to swallow. I brought a copper pot. Let's try to make some soup!"

Lin Xue took out a small copper basin from the bundle in the carriage.

While they were at the post station, they would occasionally use this copper pot to cook soup.

Lin Xue took the copper pot and went to the riverbank, and Tianze followed curiously.

Then the two siblings fiddled around for a while and used a sharp branch to stick two fish up.

I added some salt, scallions, ginger, and garlic, and a pot of delicious fish soup was quickly cooked.

There was fish soup to drink, but Li Chuanda didn't get any dry bread.

Only after the fish soup was cooked did the four of them sit around the campfire and begin to eat it.

"It's so much more comfortable to come out with my junior sister, and we even get to eat fish soup!"

Tianze took a small soup spoon and scooped up the fish soup one spoonful at a time.

Li Chuandao and Heijiao made almost the same movements.

Lin Xue took the already heated flatbread, broke off pieces, and dipped them in the fish soup to eat.

The horses over there were grazing right around them.

After resting for half an hour, everyone continued on their way.

I estimate we can reach Ping'an Town before dark.

Instead of entering Ping'an Town, they turned and went to the post station belonging to Ping'an Town.

Uncle Wan and his apprentice Erbing were already waiting at the entrance of the post station.

"Senior brother, you've finally arrived!"

Uncle Wan greeted Li Chuandao warmly.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master!"

Lin Xue and the other two immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Greetings, my fellow disciples! You must be tired from your journey. Let Erbing take you to rest!"

Master Wan looked at his three junior disciples and nodded slightly.

Then he gave an instruction to his apprentice and took Li Chuandao away.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, please follow me!"

Erbing led the way, taking everyone towards the direction of the kitchen.

The meal was ready, and after Erbing and his two fellow disciples had eaten their fill, they were assigned rooms.

The situation at this post station was similar to that of the one they were at.

Erbing gave his room to Lin Xue, while the three of them, fellow disciples, made do in the back room for the night.

What's more, there's no guarantee of getting any sleep at night.

After experiencing all that she had along the way, Lin Xue placed even greater importance on talismans.

She took out the materials and began drawing talismans for more uses.

As the talisman brush stroked, one special symbol after another appeared on the talisman paper.

She drew all sorts of talismans she could think of, such as the Blazing Flame Talisman, the Fiery Talisman, and the Lightning Talisman.

As expected.

That evening, Erbing came to call her, saying that the masters were ready and were going to take them out to search for the zombies.

After all, zombies only come out at night, and it's very difficult to find them during the day.

Lin Xue took the torch from Erbing and followed her senior brothers into the woods.

The woods are dangerous at night, and even though this place is close to the post station, there are many spirits and monsters living there.

Of course, the spirits near the post station are generally not very bad; at most, they will just tease people and won't take their lives.

But those monsters in the deep mountains and forests are different.

That's a truly ruthless killer!

The group wandered around the mountains and forests. Li Chuandao and Wan Daozhang each held a compass and calculated the celestial phenomena based on the compass needles.

This is a complex subject, involving things like the art of observing qi.

Lin Xue stayed close to her fellow disciples, who dared not stray too far from their masters.

They had no choice but to follow and search from a distance.

Lin Xue also channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes and looked at the surrounding environment.

Several places in this area were found to have a dark, malevolent aura.
