The locust tree, which had been motionless, suddenly began to shake when Chu Qi set up the formation. Its branches began to dance wildly and its leaves rustled.
At this moment, there was a strong wind in the yard. The noise made by the locust tree caused dust to fly all over the sky. The dry and astringent dust almost floated into the eyes.
The wind was so strong that Chu Qi could hardly open her eyes.
In order to make the work easier, Chu Qi held the fox in front of his eyes to block the soil, and then continued to fiddle with it.
The fox's hair was blown into a mess, and there was a hint of disbelief in his usually clear eyes.
Linghu was afraid of this strong wind.
Its claws spread out on all four of its limbs, and their paws exploded into five-petal flowers.
If the wind hadn't been so strong, Chu Qi would have discovered that he had harvested a hedgehog-like fox.
Chu Qi struggled to lean on the fox to block the wind and quickly set up the formation.
The moment the formation was formed, a burst of light suddenly appeared, surrounding the locust tree and the shrine.
Faint screams could be heard.
Chu Qi took a step forward and listened to the movement inside.
Soon, karmic fire formed by the formation rose from the locust tree.
The karmic fire burned fiercely, burning the locust tree to ashes.
The shrine that was enshrined by four candles also collapsed.
A bead with a lustrous luster appeared from the ashes of the locust tree.
A dark shadow jumped out of the shrine and headed straight for the beads.
Chu Qi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and quickly threw a handful of talismans over to block it.
The black shadow screamed and was then burned to ashes by the talisman.
At this moment, the fox suddenly broke free from Chu Qi, swinging its fluffy tail. Under Chu Qi's shocked gaze, it nimbly ran to the bead and swallowed it in one gulp!
“Xiao Hong!!”
Chu Qi had never expected this sudden change. She just subconsciously prevented the ghost thing that came out of the shrine from touching the unknown bead. She had no idea what the bead was used for.
This caught the fox off guard and gave it an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
“Spit it out now!”
Anxiously hugging the fox, she reached out to dig it out.
She doesn’t know what the consequences of eating indiscriminately will be, and she is extremely anxious now.
But it was too late.
The bead had been completely swallowed by the fox, and its stomach even emitted a sparkling, lustrous light.
The three colors of red, blue and purple glow and heat inside the fox's belly.
It looks like some kind of simulated plush toy...
Oh~
The fox hummed weakly and acted like a spoiled child, then leaned into Chu Qi's arms and lost consciousness.
Its body was so hot that it felt as if it had been thrown into the water and was completely wet.
Chu Qi couldn't help but regret not taking good care of the fox.
But it was no use regretting it now, as she only had the methods to deal with ghosts and monsters, and she had no other knowledge to support her in solving the current problem.
Whether the little fox lives or dies is up to fate.
Carrying the fox back to the donkey cart, Chu Qi found that the other people who had disappeared still hadn’t appeared. What happened?
Her heart sank and she followed the streets, looking for them one by one.
She found a pair of shoes left behind by a scholar in the yard of a house.
In the middle of the yard, there was a black coffin.
The shoes were left next to the coffin...
Could it be that they were locked in coffins?
Chu Qi stepped into the yard and was about to check when suddenly, a cold hand was placed on her shoulder.
"Mr. Chu, it's me."
Zhao Shi's voice still sounded a bit childish.
"What happened? Where are the others?"
He said doubtfully, "Mr. Chu, what do you think that is?"
Chu Qi casually slapped a talisman, and in an instant, Zhao Shi behind him disappeared.
She then stepped in and pried open the coffin lid with force, only to see a scholar named Li lying in the coffin with a pale face.
He was wearing only an undergarment, his lips were purple from the cold, and his whole body was shaking.
He closed his eyes tightly, as if he was trapped in some kind of nightmare, and muttered something from time to time.
Chu Qi kicked it in: "Wake up!"
The scholar surnamed Li was kicked awake, and as soon as he opened his eyes he let out a strange cry:
"Hiss~ It's so cold."
"Come out and go back to put on your clothes."
Chu Qi ordered.
The scholar surnamed Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by going back?"
After taking a look at his situation, he stood up under Chu Qi's gaze and was shocked to find himself lying in a coffin.
"Oh my god! Why am I here?" He quickly crawled out and found both of his shoes on the ground, so he picked them up and put them on.
The scholar named Li, who had no idea what was going on, followed Chu Qi's instructions and went back to find clothes to wear.
Chu Qi then continued to look for the remaining people.
Soon, after finding everyone, Chu Qi returned to the donkey cart to rest.
It was almost deafeningly noisy outside, but I tried to keep the volume down.
Zhao Shi, wearing a fur coat, huddled beside the driver, shivering, and said:
"Did we see a ghost tonight?"
A scholar replied with a pale face:
"When I woke up, I found myself sleeping in a coffin. If Mr. Chu hadn't woken me up, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived the night. It's too cold - ahem -"
Before he finished speaking, he sneezed loudly.
As if it was the beginning, other people also started sneezing.
After all, it was very cold weather and everyone went out wearing only underwear, so it was a blessing not to freeze to death.
“That won’t work.”
Zhao Shi's driver said:
"We have to boil some medicine to treat the cold."
"Yes, yes, boil the medicine quickly."
Some people reacted and built a bonfire to start boiling medicine, not caring whether it would attract the attention of the people in the town.
