Chapter 208 A Diary
Is it because the vengeful spirit was captured that its mission was completed, and therefore it no longer needed to exist?
So once the mission is over, he will perish.
Actually, Yu Xiaoluo thought the zombie was quite cute. Although it was a bit clumsy, it was very honest and kind, and it wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. It even patiently explained things to her.
It was one of the more friendly evil beings she encountered.
So now the temple will be safe, and they can finally get a good night's sleep.
After that, this place can be used as a base of operations, since it is a much better place than other places to stay, as it provides shelter from the wind and rain.
Anyway, the temple-guarding zombie is gone, so they can stay here if they want; nobody cares.
So, I comfortably continued to sleep.
But when they woke up the next day, as dawn was breaking, they seemed to hear voices. “Old Liu, come quick! It looks like someone is living here. There’s a stove burning, and there’s a bed—my God, how can this room be so comfortable?”
Oh no, there are outsiders here.
Moreover, if I put something so modern here, people will become suspicious, and it will be difficult to explain.
After all, it's difficult for an individual to climb up to this place, let alone carry such a large and new mattress. Yu Xiaolu pointed her finger and changed the bed to a very ordinary-looking, somewhat old bed, which blended in with the surrounding environment.
"Huh, this bed seems different. I must be seeing things. Sorry."
Another person advised, "Forget it, they're resting or sleeping. Let's not disturb them. Let's find a room and get something to eat. We're starving. It was too cold last night, and we didn't sleep well."
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Yu Xiaoluo finally breathed a sigh of relief and slept for a while longer. Once she had enough sleep, she woke up Bao Shuoyu, and after having breakfast in the room, they went out.
By this time, the sun had risen, and although it was still snowing heavily, it was much warmer and more comfortable than at night.
In the courtyard, three people were shoveling snow, and some clothes were hanging out to dry, giving the place a sense of everyday life.
Well, these guys are really lucky. The temple keeper is gone, but they've come instead. Otherwise, their trip would have been in vain.
One of the girls, in her early twenties, saw Yu Xiaoluo and Bao Shuoyu come out and screamed, "Wow, are you celebrities? You're so beautiful, or are you goddesses from this snow mountain?"
Yu Xiaoluo almost laughed at her words, "Little sister, you're quite pretty too. What are you doing in Kunshan?"
The girl pouted, "Ugh, we're just suckers who paid money to suffer. Why don't we stay at home and come to this godforsaken place, saying we want to challenge the summit?"
The girl came over generously and introduced herself, "My name is Xiaowen, and these are my friends. There are six of us in total, two girls and four guys. By the way, what are you here for? Just the two of you?"
Yu Xiaoluo nodded. "We're just wandering around aimlessly, unlike you guys who are so professional. My name is Xiaoluo, and his name is Xiaoyu."
"Hehe, is he your boyfriend? You two are such a perfect match."
Xiaowen was very lively and cheerful. Yu Xiaoluo thought she spoke nicely and handed her a talisman. "Take this with you. We're going out for a stroll. We'll come back to that room tonight."
Xiaowen glanced at it and said happily, "Wow, I believe in this! Thank you, Miss." She even took out a few White Rabbit milk candies and gave them to Yu Xiaoluo, who happily accepted them.
The other children had set up a fire in the yard, seemingly preparing something to eat. They called to Xiaowen, who waved to them and ran over to help.
So Yu Xiaoluo and Bao Shuoyu set off. Naturally, they couldn't use any of their powers or summon any demons right now. Anyway, the sun was shining brightly, and they had slept and eaten their fill, so they could go out and wander around slowly until they were far away from those people.
After leaving the temple, they walked for a while. Yu Xiaoluo looked up at the highest peak, which was shrouded in mist and could not be seen clearly.
"Do you think that thousand-year-old snow fungus might be there?" Yu Xiaoluo looked in that direction, as if she were talking to Bao Shuoyu, or as if she were talking to herself.
"That's hard to say, we'll have to go and find out first."
Yu Xiaoluo originally wanted to summon Xuanwu, but a dragon flying in the sky would be too conspicuous, and besides, the weather was really cold when flying in the sky, enough to freeze a person to death.
So, Xiao Hei revealed its tiger form, and the two of them sat on the tiger's back. On relatively flat areas, they rode the tiger, while on steeper areas, Xuanwu took over.
Sitting on the snow-capped mountain was tiring. When they passed through a section of the mountain, they found several tents that had not been put away, as well as backpacks, snack bags, and clothes scattered haphazardly.
It looked as if it had been ransacked.
Moreover, the clothes looked as if they had been torn and ripped apart by something.
"Stop, stop."
Yu Xiaoluo stopped Xiao Hei, and the two of them went to examine it carefully. They saw that there were still bright red bloodstains on the ground. The bloodstains looked very fresh, and because of the cold weather, they had frozen on the snow without melting or changing color.
Little Fairy peeked out and said, "Master, there's no one here, but there's blood, a backpack, and a tent. Uh, it seems the people here had an accident. If they didn't have any equipment, they're still a long way from getting down the mountain, and they certainly wouldn't have made it down alive."
"Let's look around and see if we can find anything."
So everyone split up to search, and those tents were still barely standing, not yet collapsed, so they looked to be of reliable quality.
There were six tents in total, and this group of people numbered at least ten. Had they all met with misfortune?
Moreover, the sleeping bags were still inside the tent, along with some snacks, suggesting that everything else besides the people was still there.
Yu Xiaolu rummaged through the tent and found two insulated water bottles, a whole pack of compressed biscuits, a flashlight, and a bag that she used as a garbage bag, filled with some snack wrappers.
The others were all fragments, as if they had been dragged away in their sleep, or rather, disappeared in their sleep.
At this moment, Bao Shuoyu exclaimed, "There is a diary here."
So Yu Xiaoluo went over and saw Bao Shuyu holding a very beautiful and exquisite notebook with pictures of lakes and mountains. She took it and started flipping through it.
The handwriting was very delicate and slender, and it looked like it belonged to a woman. The first part described her personal life, such as her colleagues' gathering today, how she and her classmates ate very well and were very happy, and some personal emotional troubles, but nothing particularly special.
So she turned to the back of the diary.
