Chapter 1894 Somewhat Impressive
Lu Zhaoling could really feel a lot of death energy here, but it was precisely because of the abundance of death energy that the life force seemed so prominent, and she could feel it too.
There must be living people here.
Aside from them, isn't it strange to find living people in a mass grave in the middle of the night?
That would most likely be Meng Si.
At this point, Lu Zhaoling wouldn't be certain that Meng Si was a good person, or that he came here unintentionally or was forced to, since she didn't know Meng Si.
What if the investigation only uncovers his true nature, and we can only know a person's face but not their heart? What if Meng Si did something bad in secret, and came here in the middle of the night to dispose of the body and cover it up?
So she didn't plan to rush in with the intention of saving people.
We need to find the person first and see them clearly before making any decisions.
Moreover, Qingsong previously said that Meng Si was acting strangely, which could very well mean that he was possessed by some evil spirit, encountered an evil cultivator, and was being used.
It's all possible.
Now we need to see people first.
But this was the first time Zhou Shiyue had been so clingy; even at this point, he was still holding her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
Lu Zhaoling found it rather strange.
“I just had a dream. I dreamt that you walked step by step into a red coffin, and it seemed…” Zhou Shiyue glanced ahead. He couldn’t see what was in front of him yet, but there were some dark shadows. Since he had been here before, he could recall the scenes from his memory and knew what it looked like. “The location is similar to this place.”
Lu Zhaoling was taken aback.
Did you have such a dream?
She thought for a moment, "Something's definitely not right here. The deathly aura is too strong. Normally, even if a person is thrown here after they die, their soul would be taken by the underworld, but there's still such a strong deathly aura here, which is not normal."
"You probably just came back from the Netherworld not long ago, and you've been to a place like Purgatory, so it might have had some effect."
She leaned closer to him and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be on high alert. You know my abilities; even if something strange happens, I can protect myself."
"Call me if you need anything." Zhou Shiyue slowly released her hand.
He wasn't one to beat around the bush; he knew that coming here meant he was going to get her to find Meng Si. He had stopped her earlier to make her more cautious.
Now that Lu Zhaoling knows, he has let go.
"Wait a minute." Lu Zhaoling took two steps forward, then suddenly turned around, patted the horse pulling the carriage, and stuck a talisman on the horse's head and another on the carriage curtain.
“Turn the horse around and stop in that direction.” Lu Zhaoling took a couple of steps and suddenly saw a gap in the feng shui of the place, which looked like the opening of a pocket.
She drove the carriage there, and after she affixed Taoist talismans to the horses, they became less uneasy and quieter.
Meng Rui's carriage was parked not far away. They got off the carriage and walked over.
"Your Highness, how did we end up here?" Third Master Meng glanced ahead, and even a grown man like him felt a chill run down his spine. His heart was pounding, and he never expected that Lu Zhaoling could remain so composed.
Lu Zhaoling glanced at them and said, "You can come with me."
This mass grave is quite large, and she's not really willing to search for people on her own. Besides, it's always better to have help if something happens.
As she spoke, she handed each of them a few talismans.
"Keep this one in your bosom and the rest in your hands," Lu Zhaoling said.
The father and son didn't dare to ask any more questions. For some reason, as soon as they got their hands on so many talismans, a mysterious and enigmatic feeling arose.
So now their hearts were in their throats. They did as she said, and when they held the talisman in their hands, they couldn't tell whether it was too hot to handle or made their hands tremble with stiffness.
Lu Zhaoling also gave a talisman to Qingmu and Qingyu.
“You all follow me.”
"Your Highness, the Prince..."
Qingyu was still a little worried about Zhou Shiyue, who was left in the carriage.
"He's fine."
Now, there shouldn't be anyone foolish enough to approach Zhou Shiyue.
He had just been to purgatory and had been exposed to the fire, so he still carried some of that aura on him, which even fierce ghosts would fear.
Therefore, Lu Zhaoling is not worried about Zhou Shiyue's personal safety at this moment.
Having done all this, Lu Zhaoling held a talisman in her hand and flicked it.
Meng Rui saw the talisman between her fingers suddenly burst into flames. The talisman burned brightly, becoming a blazing inferno.
Large flames illuminated their surroundings.
His eyes widened in surprise.
No way, you can do that? Why does it feel so impressive!
The way he looked at Lu Zhaoling changed slightly.
I had heard that Princess Jin was very powerful, but seeing is believing! Just one fire talisman from Lu Zhaoling has already captured the young man's heart.
It's like how the young men of the Qiu family now look at Lu Zhaoling with shining eyes.
Lu Zhaoling lit more than just this one fire talisman. The deathly aura here was too heavy, with gusts of yin wind blowing, so one talisman fire wouldn't be enough.
Fortunately, she was prepared; she might lack other things, but she certainly didn't lack talismans.
Lu Zhaoling flung the flame away, and the burning fire talisman floated away.
She immediately took out a handful of fire talismans, and with a whoosh, so many fire talismans ignited, which she then flung out one by one.
Clusters of flames drifted out in different directions, instantly brightening the area ahead.
The Meng father and son both gaped open.
Aoki glanced at them and kindly said, "It's better to keep your mouth shut."
Because you might accidentally inhale ghostly or yin energy, which could easily make you sick.
He didn't say the second half of the sentence.
The Meng father and son thought he was reminding them to be mindful of etiquette, which was somewhat impolite.
The father and son simultaneously shut their mouths tightly.
Meng Sanye's face flushed a little. He felt that he was the oldest and a grown man, yet he was behaving somewhat like a fool here.
"Walk."
Lu Zhaoling held the Golden Diamond Pen and strode forward.
The group quickly followed her.
To be honest, the previous section was just a bit difficult to travel; it wasn't a proper road.
But once they got through that part, they saw it.
The first thing you see is a rolled-up straw mat.
It's rolled up, and the middle is still bulging. You can imagine what's inside.
Upon seeing this, Meng Rui quickly looked away.
But as soon as I moved it away, I saw a leg in front of me.
His face froze, just as a talismanic fire flew over it, and he also saw some maggots wriggling on that leg.
vomit!
Meng Rui almost gagged.
He quickly turned his gaze to Lu Zhaoling's back in front of him.
No way, Si-ge wouldn't come here, would he? What would he be doing in a place like this?
"Watch your step." Lu Zhaoling's steady voice came from ahead, and Meng Rui realized that she had already entered that area... which was not easy to step on.
His eyes widened.
"Walk."
Third Master Meng pulled him aside.
Meng Rui noticed that his father's hands were very cold.
