"How, how could this happen!" The driver looked panicked.
He had a smile on his face, but in fact he was staring at Xue Qingyi again and again with a look as if he had seen a ghost, and even rubbed his eyes. However, he could not see anything unusual and began to doubt himself.
Absolutely.
He clearly sneaked into the eldest lady's room and killed her last night.
The dagger was stuck in her chest, and blood splattered all over his face!
But today, the eldest lady appeared in front of him unharmed... It couldn't be that he dreamed of killing someone last night but didn't actually do it, right?
Or is it that the eldest lady has come back to life?
But no matter what, since the eldest lady didn't die last night, I have to find an opportunity to kill her again today!
Thinking of this, the driver hurriedly and respectfully brought out the horse stool and said with a smile: "Miss, please get on the carriage quickly. It will only take another half day to reach the capital!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhao." Xue Qingyi responded lightly, and then got into the carriage gracefully.
The carriage headed northwest.
Ping'er had rarely walked outside and had a poor sense of direction, so she didn't notice anything unusual at this time.
But Xue Qingyi knew that to go to the capital, one should take the official road and go straight north.
Not long after, the carriage suddenly stopped in a deserted forest.
"Hey? Uncle Zhao, why did you stop?" Ping'er then poked her head out and asked curiously.
"The carriage wheel seems to be stuck by something and is broken. Miss, Miss Ping'er, could you please get off and wait aside for a moment? I need to fix it." Uncle Zhao said with difficulty.
Upon hearing this, Ping'er immediately turned her head to look at Xue Qingyi.
Xue Qingyi nodded.
After the master and servant got off the carriage, Uncle Zhao began to pretend to repair the carriage.
He is digging a hole.
They explained that the wheels of the car got stuck in the soft mud after the rain, but in reality they were probably trying to bury people.
"Uncle Zhao, there's no need to go to so much trouble. No matter how deep the pit you dig, it will be useless and a waste of time." At this time, Xue Qingyi suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?" Uncle Zhao paused while digging the hole, then said with a smile, "Miss, what you said is true. If the hole is not dug deep enough, how can we bury the bodies of you and Miss Ping'er?"
"Uncle Zhao, what do you mean by that?" Ping'er was stunned when she heard that. Only then did she realize that they were now in the wilderness and it didn't seem like they were on the way back to Beijing.
"Hey! What do you mean? It means, you guys go to hell!" Uncle Zhao raised his sleeves and flicked them before he finished speaking!
Two shiny black six-pointed steel stars immediately flew towards the two of them!
A faint light flashed on the steel star, so fast that it seemed to be able to kill with one blow.
Ping'er was so frightened that her eyes widened and she stood there in a daze.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly blocked her way.
Xue Qingyi raised her sleeves and waved, "Go!"
The two steel stars seemed to be bounced back by something, but in the blink of an eye, they hit back and pierced Uncle Zhao's forehead!
All this happened as fast as lightning, leaving no time for people to react.
Uncle Zhao still had an expression of disbelief on his face.
The blood on the forehead immediately flowed down.
The next moment, his figure flashed, and when he was about to fall down, a talisman suddenly hit his forehead.
"Huh? Isn't this the long-lost Danshu Fu!" Xiao Guan, who was watching this scene happening in his Dantian, exclaimed in surprise.
Last night he was fixed by the talisman in Xue Qingyi's hand, and he felt it was quite strange, because the power of the runes in the talisman was obviously not ordinary spiritual power. However, he was in a dangerous situation at that time and had no time to investigate carefully. He just had doubts.
After taking a closer look today, he was extremely sure!
At this time, Xue Qingyi raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
She didn't expect that the old ghost could recognize the Danshu Fu at a glance.
Could it be that the existence of the Danshu Fu is no secret in the Metaverse?
She suddenly became more and more curious about this metaverse.
But now is obviously not the time to think about this problem.
At this time, the Danshu Fu sucked the blood off Uncle Zhao's face, then disappeared into his brows and disappeared.
His eyes dimmed, and the whites of his eyes were completely soaked in black as ink.
Ping'er's view was blocked by Xue Qingyi, and she had no idea what was happening.
After a moment's silence, they saw Uncle Zhao, who was about to kill them just now, suddenly turned around stiffly, and nimbly dragged the carriage out of the pit with his bare hands. Then he put the horse stool in place and waited respectfully on the side, as if waiting for them to get on the carriage.
This scene left Ping'er dumbfounded and a little confused.
What on earth happened just now?
Is she dreaming?
"Let's go. It looks like Uncle Zhao has repaired the wheels of the carriage." Xue Qingyi said, and got on the carriage first.
"Oh..." Ping'er was confused, but after looking at Uncle Zhao, she couldn't see anything unusual, so she had to follow him into the carriage.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhao immediately got on the carriage.
Afterwards, he drove back to the official road and headed all the way to the capital.
“Little kid, the one you just used is called the Corpse Controlling Talisman, right? I never thought that I would actually see the legendary Danshu Talisman in my lifetime! Have you obtained the entire inheritance of the Danshu Talisman?” In the Dantian, the Nascent Soul old monster Xiao Guan could not help but ask.
There was an indescribable excitement in his words.
Xue Qingyi naturally couldn't admit it!
She understands better than anyone the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.
In her previous life, wasn't it because she possessed such rare and excellent talents as mutated ice spiritual roots and natural sword bones that she was targeted by Su Youyao?
She won't let anyone know about the Danshu Fu!
"What is Danshu Fu? I have never heard of it. This talisman is what I got from the monsters that were killed when I was training in the Demon Abyss. Isn't it an ordinary talisman?" At this time, Xue Qingyi deliberately pretended to be confused.
"Ah? Is that so?" There was a hint of disappointment in Xiao Guan's voice.
But soon, he became suspicious and deliberately asked, "How many of these talismans did you get in total?"
"About a dozen, but I was short of money before, so I sold two." Xue Qingyi answered casually, and then asked him, "Senior, what is this Danshu Fu? Is it a powerful thing? What's the difference between it and a spiritual talisman?"
Xiao Guan listened to her ignorant tone of asking for advice, but he felt inexplicably alert, suspecting that she was pretending to be a pig and trying to get information from him.
However, in order to get more information about the Danshu Fu from her, he still said: "This Danshu Fu borrows the power of heaven and earth, while the Lingfu borrows the power of ghosts and gods. You must know that ghosts and gods also rely on heaven and earth to be born and survive, and their power is so strong that it cannot be compared with the Lingfu.
"Little kid, if you really still have Danshu Fu, can you sell a few to me? I'll give you one thousand, no! Two thousand middle-grade spirit stones for each one! How about that? If you have any information about the Danshu Fu scripture, I'll give you ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"
"Senior, you are so anxious, which shows how precious this Danshu Fu is. I am not stupid. If I really get the news about the Danshu Fu scripture you mentioned in the future, I will naturally keep the opportunity to myself and will not sell it no matter how many spirit stones I spend." Xue Qingyi crushed the old ghost's thoughts with just a few words.
"You little kid are so boring!" Xiao Guan was immediately disappointed. He closed his mouth speechlessly and refused to communicate with her.
The carriage continued to move smoothly.
Due to the previous delay, it was almost evening when we arrived in the capital.
Soon after, the carriage finally stopped at the gate of Prince Yanping's Palace.
