Xie Shu had a very sharp mind and was able to distinguish truth from falsehood. Naturally, he could tell that Qing Wu was telling the truth and was not joking.
But he felt that Qing Wu was not the kind of frivolous and reckless person. Although her words were fierce and fierce, they must have deeper meaning.
However, the four people dressed as servants behind Xie Shu looked shocked, and their eyes shifted back and forth between Xie Shu and Qing Wu.
They were naturally not servants of the Xie family. They were Xie Shu's subordinates in the Dali Temple, real court officials. They came here to investigate the case with Xie Shu.
"It's inconvenient to talk here. Princess, would you mind going inside to discuss in detail?"
"It would take too much time to go in, let's go somewhere with fewer people and talk in detail." Qing Wu said and walked straight out.
Xie Shu pondered for a moment and followed.
The four people behind were stunned and hesitated whether to follow.
Qing Wu paused and turned back, "If anyone comes to look for me and Master Xie later, you will tell them the truth. By the way, unless you are dying of starvation and thirst, you'd better not touch the water in this temple."
The four of them were startled and nodded subconsciously.
After the people left, I couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I didn't realize that Master Shaoqing actually..."
"Can King Yan tolerate this?"
The oldest man coughed and said solemnly, "Things are definitely not what we thought. This Princess Yan might have come here on the orders of King Yan."
"Everyone, please pay attention to the water issue."
On the other side, Qing Wu took Xie Shu straight to the back mountain of Chuyun Temple. They walked stealthily all the way, as if they were acting out the scene of having an affair to the end.
Qing Wu glanced back and caught a glimpse of a shadow quickly hiding in the woods. Lu Qiao nodded quietly, obviously also aware of a tail following him.
Baimei whispered, "There is an abandoned cave on the side of the path. It was used to store sundries in the temple."
"The entrance that Hu Zi mentioned might be over there."
Qing Wu nodded. The main purpose of her trip was to find the cave. Hu Zi, the fat ghost hidden in the judge's pen, had the Xirang on his body.
But after Qing Wu walked around the temple, he did not see any trace of Xirang. However, Hu Huzi said that he accidentally broke into a cave filled with debris and was sucked into that place.
Xie Shu hadn't spoken a word the whole time, but as soon as Baimei opened her mouth, he recognized that this 'old lady' was the charlatan who was cheating people in his house, and he couldn't help but glance at her coldly.
Meeting the gaze of the former 'victim's family', Baimei shrank his neck in embarrassment.
Seeing that they were about to reach the destination, Qing Wu cleared her throat and said arrogantly: "Hello, you guys stay here and don't let anyone come to disturb us."
Luqiao and Aunt Bai responded respectfully.
Qing Wu said to Xie Shuyu in a coquettish manner: "Ziyuan, let's go a little further inside. I have something to tell you."
Xie Shu's eyes moved, he lowered his eyes and hummed, but if you look closely, you can see that his ears are a little red.
The person who had been hiding in the dark and following heard this, hesitated for a moment, and immediately turned and left.
Qing Wu and Xie Shu arrived at the entrance of the cave after walking a few steps.
"I'll go in first." Xie Shudang was standing in front. Along the way, he also noticed something.
Qing Wu did not compete with him. Xie Shu entered the cave first, took out a tinder and lit it. The situation in the cave came into view. There were debris piled everywhere. The cave was quite deep and he didn't know what was at the end.
Xie Shu reminded Qing Wu to watch her step and looked around: "Was there someone following us just now?"
Qing Wu hummed and answered absent-mindedly. After entering the cave, she vaguely felt the breath of Xirang.
But it's still too weak...
"What are you looking for?"
Xie Shu stamped his feet and asked.
"Don't stop yet, keep moving forward."
Xie Shu looked at her helplessly, "There is no way forward."
Qing Wu frowned and looked behind him. As expected, there was no way out. She touched the golden hairpin and asked the judge's pen in her heart: "Ask the little fat ghost, is this the place?"
Judge's Pen: "The little fat ghost said he wasn't sure because he was too scared at the time, but he was sucked into the cave by a crack."
Qing Wu nodded and said to Xie Shuyu: "Help me find out if there are any cracks in this cave first. I'll tell you while you're looking."
Xie Shu frowned, suppressed his doubts, and helped her look for it.
The result was naturally a death without any illness.
The judge's pen clicked his tongue: "Isn't it here?"
"There is the scent of Xirang here. There should have been a crack here in the past." Qing Wu answered in her heart, feeling a little annoyed: "It's annoying to have my ghost power restricted."
Otherwise, it would be just a matter of finding a fertile land. Why go through so much trouble?
A man's voice sounded beside him: "Princess, is it time for you to help Xie solve his doubts?"
Qing Wu came back to her senses and looked at Xie Shu.
The light of the tinderbox was hazy, and Xie Shu's face looked more delicate and moving in the light. Compared with his usual aloofness, there was a little more warmth and he seemed closer.
There was a hint of confusion and helplessness in his eyes at this moment.
Qing Wu also realized that it was a bit unreasonable for her to treat the other party like a tool and use him for a long time without getting a definite answer.
After all, she was once her white moonlight, not Xiao Chenyan's black-hearted Yan, so she could order her around at will. When it came to colluding with her, Xiao Chenyan and her really had a good understanding of each other at times.
"This temple contains something beyond human control. I am here to find that thing."
"Now the temple is inhabited by ghosts and humans. The people in Chuyun Temple are all possessed by ghosts. The blessing ceremony held by the temple master is actually a soul-separation spell. I'm afraid that no one who brought children here this time will be spared. The children have all been marked."
"Sooner or later, your soul will be dragged out."
Xie Shu's expression became serious, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "If we find that 'thing', can we completely solve the problem of evil people and ghosts?"
"That's about right." Qing Wu curled her lips. The main thing was that there was an idiot delivering food wandering around at night...
We have to hurry and find that guy.
Before, Qing Wu was still wondering what the bug Qu Huang wanted to do by devouring so many souls. Although souls can increase the power of ghosts, the risk is too high.
But after Xirang appeared, some things made sense.
The ghost power of the soul can make Xirang develop rapidly. As long as Xirang becomes large enough, as big as a small hell, Qu Huang can become the master of the hell, and his strength will increase from ten to a hundred in an instant.
Before, that stinky bug just secretly had people kidnap children and steal their souls, but now he's simply stopped pretending and is holding a so-called blessing ceremony to trick ordinary people into bringing their children here, hoping to make a big profit in one go.
In all likelihood, it was Qi who broke in for a night stroll.
After all, Yeyou has the status of a ghost or god. His status and power are second only to the Ten Kings of Hell, and he is above many small prison masters.
It would be impossible for the Xirang cultivated by Qu Huang to completely devour Ye You, so he was anxious to increase his strength.
If Ye You was really swallowed by him...
Haha, that would be fun.
Xie Shu was a smart man, so Qing Wu came to investigate under the pretext of having a secret meeting with him, but it was a bit of a hassle just for this purpose.
"How should Xie cooperate with the princess?"
Qing Wu glanced at him and curled her lips: "Don't wrong me, young master, just watch me perform later."
"By the way, please wear this red rope, young master." Qing Wu handed over a red rope that she had specially kept.
At this moment, there were faint sounds of footsteps coming quickly from outside the cave.
Qing Wu's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said to Xie Shuyu: "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
After saying that, she grabbed Xie Shu's clothes and started to strip them off.
After Xie Shu was stunned, his beautiful face suddenly turned red.
Borrowing his "innocence" for use, is that...really borrowing it?
