Just as Wei Fu and the others were preparing to rest, one of the two people the prince had sent to follow Su Rui came back and said that Su Rui had been kidnapped. The other party's identity was unknown, but he left a note.
Although the prince felt a little displeased with Su Rui, he was still worried about her because she was his cousin after all. He took the note and saw only a few words on it - If you want to save someone, come to Wuhuaipo.
Zhu Zhimao said, "Wuhuai Slope is a mass grave in Yuncheng. Many criminals, or those whose bodies were not collected, as well as beggars and others were thrown to Wuhuai Slope."
Sending people to a mass grave in the dead of night is not something that people in the mortal world should do!
The prince said, "You stay in the inn... No, you leave the city and return to the capital overnight. I will bring people there."
Wei Fu shook his head like a rattle: "No, how can we let you go alone, big brother? Fu'er has to go with us too. Fu'er is very capable."
"Although that older sister's personality isn't what Fu'er likes, she's still my brother's sister, and Fu'er's older sister. Fu'er can't just stand by and watch her die."
When the prince heard Wei Fu's words, his heart softened.
How could he not like such a caring and kind sister?
Zhu Zhimao also said: "Let's go together!"
Long Yin didn't say anything, but if Wei Fu wanted to go, he would definitely go too.
The prince thought of Wei Fu's abilities and no longer treated her as an ordinary child. The group immediately set off for Wuhuaipo. When they were still some distance away from Wuhuaipo, the horses that the prince and his companions were riding stopped moving forward, as if there was something in front of them that frightened them.
Not only did he not continue to move forward, he also kept standing still anxiously.
Wei Fu sat in the prince's arms, reached out and touched the horse's head to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, little horse, Fu'er will protect you."
Although the horse was somewhat calmed, it still did not dare to move forward.
Long Yin said, "Tie the horses here and let's go over there!"
He felt that the great devil had stayed here.
But the big devil is no longer here now, and there is no resentment or evil spirit here. I think all of these should have been swallowed by the big devil.
Besides, he couldn't sense any danger inside, so what were these horses afraid of?
Long Yin did not feel any danger, and Wei Fu did not feel that there was anything scary inside. She held the prince's hand with her left hand and the fearful pig-like junior brother with her right hand, and skipped forward.
Long Yin was behind her, holding up her huge night-shining pearl to illuminate her.
As they walked, they smelled some unpleasant and rotten odor. The prince immediately took out two handkerchiefs and tied them around Wei Fu's face to cover her mouth and nose, and then he swiftly took the handkerchiefs and covered his own mouth and nose.
Long Yin's mouth twitched. "Are you here to rescue people or to travel? There's no need to be so particular at this time, okay?"
He complained in his heart, but still silently blocked his sense of smell.
Soon after, the rotten smell left his mouth. With the help of moonlight and the light of the night pearl, Wei Fu saw many bones. These bones were different from the ones he had seen in Dayan Temple before. The bones in Dayan Temple were bronze in color, while the bones here were real bones.
There were some people who had just been thrown over on the pile of bones.
Zhu Zhimao subconsciously took a step back. He claimed that he was not a kind person, but seeing so many bones and corpses still felt a little creepy.
At this moment, an owl flew by, making a cooing sound. It scared Zhu Zhimao so much that he immediately hid behind Wei Fu. The prince subconsciously wanted to retreat, but when he saw Zhu Zhimao's actions, he felt it was too embarrassing. He silently stood in front of Wei Fu and said, "We're already here. There's no need to play tricks on you. Come out!"
Two figures, one tall and one short, slowly emerged from the darkness. The taller one was wrapped in a black robe, making it difficult to see his face. He was holding the unconscious Su Rui in his hands.
Both Wei Fu and the prince knew the short one. He was Meng Xiaojiu who escaped from Prince Ping's Mansion.
When the prince saw Meng Xiaojiu, he understood that these people should be from Prince Ping's Mansion.
"What do you want in exchange for letting my cousin go?" asked the prince.
Meng Xiaojiu looked at the prince as if he were mentally retarded: "Your Highness, you are too naive. You don't really think that we went to so much trouble to capture the Su family girl just to lead you around like this and then let you take her back!"
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving."
At this moment, he no longer had the hypocritical look that Wei Fu had seen before. The expression on his face was one of happiness and gloating.
"Let's do it!"
Hearing his words, the black-robed man drew a few lines in the air with his wooden staff, as if performing some kind of ritual. After the movement, he retreated with Meng Xiaojiu and Su Rui. Wei Fu and the others instinctively chased after him. Wei Fu said, "Big brother, this person should be the Taoist priest that Master Wuji recommended to perform the ritual at Lord Xue's home."
The black-robed man heard this as he retreated, and laughed strangely a few times: "My princess is very smart and has some skills, but it's a pity that today is the day you die."
Meng Xiaojiu's face changed, and he asked the black-robed man, "Didn't we agree to take them hostage so that the dog emperor would release my great-grandfather and the others?"
"The prince has successfully escaped."
"You, my parents, and I..."
"The prince will naturally find a way to deal with these things. You don't have to worry, young master."
Meng Xiaojiu finally felt relieved and immediately looked at Wei Fu and the others who were surrounded by white bones.
Wei Fu and his companions were chasing the man in black robe and Meng Xiaojiu. Before they had taken a few steps, the bones in the mass grave suddenly "came alive" and all attacked Wei Fu and his companions.
Because the people in the mass grave were thrown there at different times, some of the bones have been broken apart, just individual bones, while some are complete skeletons.
There are also some "fresh" corpses.
Compared to these corpses that can move and attack people, those white bones are not so scary. These corpses with dark blue faces, rolled eyes, and some that are beginning to rot and have maggots on their bodies are more scary. Not only scary but also disgusting.
Zhu Zhimao's body instinctively acted faster than his brain, and he was the first to run back.
The prince picked up Wei Fu and ran back. Long Yin was also successfully disgusted. What the hell is this magic!
Why would someone invent such a technique!
But how could the human legs of the Prince and Zhu Zhimao run as fast as the creature controlled by this evil magic?
Seeing a rotten hand crawling with maggots about to grab her, Wei Fu's hair stood on end. She pulled out a handful of talismans from her small pouch and threw them out, shouting, "Burn! Bones..."
