After Xia Zhibai finished speaking, he burned another underground escape talisman.
Fortunately, she had prepared a lot of talismans when she got here, so she had enough for this.
In fact, other people in the Xuanmen sect may not be able to draw a talisman in several days, but she can draw hundreds in an hour. She is really gifted.
"It's so dark." Deng Hao stood firm and opened her eyes according to Xia Zhibai's instructions. She only felt darkness in front of her eyes, but the various sounds of insects made her feel a little panicked.
She turned her head cautiously and glanced around. In the darkness, there was a tall and big black shadow, staggering, like several drunk men. She was so scared that she moved closer to Xia Zhibai.
"Don't be afraid, this is in the mountains."
Xia Zhibai whispered comfortingly and gently held her hand, which was so cold.
Deng Hao was shy and blushed as he quickly pulled his hand back. He clenched his hands for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Master. I'm not afraid."
"Follow me closely, it's dark in the mountains."
After Xia Zhibai finished speaking, she took out another paper talisman from her bag. She quickly drew a fire talisman on it and threw it into the air. It instantly ignited. Not far above her head was a piece of clothing that was constantly spinning.
She pinched her fingers, her face darkening. She glanced at Deng Hao, who was shivering from the cold air beside her, and said, "Why don't you rest here for a while?"
Deng Hao was so cold that goose bumps appeared all over his body, but he still shook his head firmly: "I want to see them."
Seeing how determined she was, Xia Zhibai said nothing more and continued walking with Yi Kua.
But when they came to a narrow path, they both stopped.
There were voices coming from the road on the right.
"Yes, there is someone." Deng Hao also noticed it and couldn't help but hold Xia Zhibai's hand again.
Her hands were still chillingly cold, but Xia Zhibai didn't let go. He held her and walked straight towards the road.
"Here? We've looked for him several times but couldn't find Brother Che."
"It must be here. I saw footprints on the road here, but they disappeared here. Captain Zhou, could he have fallen down there?"
A familiar voice came, and Xia Zhibai couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
The people who came were Zhou Zelin and the other two.
But didn’t they bring more people?
"Yes, are you here to look for someone?" Deng Hao asked in a low voice, shrinking his body, afraid of being seen by them.
"Don't be afraid, I know him." Xia Zhibai gently pinched her hand. It was so cold and soft, as if it had no bones.
Deng Hao looked towards the flashlight, nodded, and said nothing more, but a hint of excitement flashed in his slightly lowered eyes.
Holding Master Xia's hand made her feel very comfortable.
"Captain Zhou?" Xia Zhibai called softly in a low voice, the flashlight just sweeping towards them.
"Captain Zhou, it seems like someone is calling you." Xu Jing pulled Zhou Zelin's hand, and the flashlight also swept towards Xia Zhibai.
"It's me, Xiaoxia." Xia Zhibai pulled Deng Hao's hand and moved towards them.
She used talisman fire, which floated in the air little by little in this deep forest, like a ghost fire.
Xu Jing was so frightened that his legs went weak and his throat rumbled, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Then, then, then..."
He pointed in the direction of Xia Zhibai, but couldn't make a sound.
"Captain Zhou, it's me, Xiao Xia, Master Xia." Xia Zhibai didn't expect Xu Jing to be so timid and be scared.
If you want to blame someone, it's just that he's too tall.
After Xia Zhibai and Deng Hao climbed from the small path to the main road and stood in front of Zhou Zelin, the frightened faces of the three finally returned to normal.
"Xiao Xia, why are you here?"
Zhou Zelin looked at Xia Zhibai, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Didn’t you see her live streaming this morning?
He also put in a lot of effort and brought his men without any rest to get here.
"I'll summon the spirits."
"Recruit, recruit what?" Lin Yu was timid, and was a little unsure when he heard this.
"A few days ago, four girls drowned at Eighteen Bridges, and only one was rescued. I'm here to find the soul of one of them."
It would have been better if Xia Zhibai didn't explain, because once he did, the three of them were reminded of what happened to the Wala people.
The last time they went there, they were there to clean up the mess, but that scene made Xu Jing, who was so tall, vomit for two days before he recovered.
"Master Xia, if you, you summon the spirits, we won't participate." Lin Yu was a little scared and hid behind Zhou Zelin tremblingly.
"What are you afraid of? Master Xia has a girl by his side." Zhou Zelin pulled him out from behind.
Lin Yu also touched his head embarrassedly, while Xu Jing shyly greeted Xia Zhibai and then his eyes fell on Deng Hao.
"My name is Deng Hao." Seeing his inquiring gaze, Deng Hao hurriedly introduced himself.
"I remember you. It was you who reported the case that day, and you also helped rescue the person."
Zhou Zelin looked at her, and something flashed in his deep eyes.
"We all know each other. Why don't you three stand further away for a while? You are so righteous and the ghosts who are scared won't dare to come over."
Xia Zhibai waved at Zhou Zelin and then asked, "You just got here. Do you have any news about Zhou Che?"
"No, the director has called the county, and someone will be here tomorrow. We were worried about Zhou Che, so we came here first."
Zhou Zelin looked frustrated. He didn't dare let anything happen to Zhou Che.
"Don't worry, he's fine now." Xia Zhibai quickly calculated in his heart that Zhou Che was fine now, but it was night time and Zhou Zelin couldn't even find the way into the village.
It’s not his fault. After what happened that year, almost no one came here anymore.
The roads leading into the village are probably blocked.
"After I finish asking questions, I'll take you in to find him."
