Chapter 1117 The Returnee's Notes 191
The gong outside stopped, the wind lifted the carriage curtain, revealing Yang Liu's face. She then peered inside through the curtain and asked, "Are you all alright?"
This stretch of road isn't actually dangerous; it's just that there are many spirits and monsters.
This place has little turbid air, making it easier for animals to become spirits.
It used to be even worse here, but now that this path has been opened up, only some small spirits remain. More intelligent spirits won't come near; they only seek out people who don't know magic.
In addition to the disturbances caused by ghosts, even though the people who returned to Qing Shi Town have multiplied and had many descendants over the years, a considerable number of people still die in Qing Shi Town every year.
Therefore, the population remaining in this town is not large. These disciples are said to be a sect of their own, but if you count their current numbers, there are less than twenty people.
First, there are restrictions on the conditions for accepting disciples; second, many of these disciples die.
Are ghosts so easy to catch?
It's just a matter of paying with one's own life.
Even so, Yang Liu would not regret it, because as things have developed to this point, dispelling those spirits is no longer just a responsibility, but also a necessary task to protect herself and Qing Shi Town.
Yang Liu couldn't help but smile as her gaze fell on the people in the carriage. They had been learning to make umbrellas since they were young, but only one or two of them could become umbrella makers who specialized in making soul umbrellas.
It is this Soul Umbrella that can attract some powerful Celestial Masters from outside to this place. They can subdue even more powerful ghosts and reduce their pressure.
Since the town was closed off, there have been no outside visitors. It was only fifty years ago, with the help of the Xie family, that it slowly began to make contact with the outside world.
"Are you all alright?"
"We're fine, young man, are we almost there?"
"Hmm, we'll be out of the mist forest in ten minutes."
Xie Ning's gaze fell on Yang Liu's hand. She hadn't noticed before, but now she realized that Yang Liu's left hand actually had six fingers.
The fog outside gradually thinned, and the scenery ahead became faintly visible. It was a thatched hut with two horses tied to a pillar beside it. An old man in a black robe was feeding the horses. When he saw the carriage approaching, he put down the hay in his hand, leaned on his cane, and took a few steps forward to greet it.
"Fifth Grandfather, we're here!"
"Alright, alright, did you get hurt on the way?"
"No, we just encountered two weasels, and they're both dead." They weren't anything special, they just blocked the way, but people like them wouldn't fall for their tricks.
Moreover, the weasels weren't after them, but after the horses.
"It's just a pity for the horse."
Grandpa Wu looked at the hole in the horse's belly and said with a pained tone.
Raising horses is quite difficult for them here, so they cherish horses very much, as do raising cattle and sheep.
"Your medical skills are so good, you can definitely cure the horse!" Yang Liu said with a smile. She had learned medicine from her fifth grandfather, but she could only treat people, not animals, while her fifth grandfather could treat both.
After saying that, he carried the rice, flour and other supplies that had been transported from the back of the carriage into the house.
Mu Jin glanced into the thatched hut; there was no one inside, indicating that those who had gone in had not yet returned.
Fifth Grandfather looked Xie Ning and his group of five over and said, "Guests from out of town, come in and have some tea."
The group exchanged glances, then laughed and went inside. Xie Ning also looked away from the roof of the carriage, where there was nothing left but a black puddle.
I don't know what kind of spirit it is.
The bright sunshine in the sky was dazzling, illuminating the entire area, but the area in front of and behind the small house was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
"A-Ning?" Xie Li turned around and called out to Xie Ning.
"They're here!"
Xie Ning turned and went inside, but did not notice the black bloodstains on the roof of the carriage move. Then, wispy, thread-like things quickly burrowed into the horse's injured belly.
There are three thatched huts here: one is the main room for meals, two are for living, and the kitchen is set up outside in a semi-open manner. Next to the kitchen is a small shed where a lot of tools are stored.
Xie Ning glanced at them and saw that they were mostly tools for processing medicinal herbs and some bandaging supplies. She didn't recognize the contents of the remaining ceramic bowls.
In addition to food, Yang Liu also brought medicine this time. After all, the towns where people live are quite far away, so they send someone to deliver supplies every seven days.
Originally, besides Fifth Grandfather, Yang Liu and Mu Jin were also guarding this place, but this time they happened to need to pick up people, so they took over the work of delivering supplies.
