Chapter 1008 Cover-up
When the guards and Liuming saw Xie Qiao talking to the air, they felt a chill in their hearts.
Fortunately, the guards had seen her many times and were prepared. They were not scared, but Liuming was different. He looked at Xie Qiao with fear in his eyes.
“W-Who is she talking to?!” Liuming quickly crawled back and immediately took a few steps away from Xie Qiao.
However, with the guards watching, he could not run away.
“Master might be talking to her ancestor. Get used to it. If you miss your father, you can give her some money to call your father over. You can stay in the same room with him for a while.” The guard looked at this charlatan and said viciously.
Liuming’s eyelids twitched. He did not care whether the guard was criticizing him or not. This place was too scary…
There were clearly so many lights, but at this moment, he still felt a chill all over his body. “Da Fu, smell these and find someone for me.” Xie Qiao stretched out her hand and scratched Da Fu’s head.
Of course, to others, she was just touching the air and smiling kindly.
Da Fu wagged its tail and sniffed the blanket.
After a while, it barked at Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao immediately got up and led the dog to the places passing by the house.
Da Fu’s spirit was in front. It was different from a human’s spirit. It walked on all four and would not float unless it was in a hurry.
When Zhao Xuanjing appeared, he saw Xie Qiao and his guards walking slowly on the road.
They did not sit in the carriage. Instead, they moved step by step. Occasionally, they stopped and stood there for a while as if they were waiting for someone.
With so many guards turning their heads, the people on the street were scared. They stayed far away and did not dare to get close to them.
“What are they doing?” Zhao Xuanjing was also curious. “It looks like hunters using hunting dogs to hunt for prey.”
“Yes, exactly!” Xie Qiao nodded.
“The spirit of a dog?” Zhao Xuanjing had never known what the spirit of an animal looked like.
“Well, Da Fu is very impressive. It was tamed by its master when it was alive. Finding people and things is easy. At the critical moment, it can even fight!” It was not that she was bragging, but even a human ghoul could not beat Da Fu.
Its fangs were sharp. They had been polished when it was still alive. When it bit, it was comparable to a tiger or a wolf. “By the way, what are you doing here?” Xie Qiao had been staring at Da Fu the whole time and did not even look at Zhao Xuanjing.
Zhao Xuanjing’s heart was bitter.
What if he did not come here?
He was afraid that she would forget that there was a living person like him in this world.
“Did Senior Sister not say that you would call me when you’re accumulating good karma? I thickened my skin and came to ask for benefits myself.” Zhao Xuanjing walked behind Xie Qiao and nodded. Looking at her back, he could not help but relax his eyebrows. Xie Qiao did not want to chase him away.
It was good for him to follow her. He might even be able to save her at the critical moment.
Da Fu did not leave the city. In the end, it actually arrived at the entrance of a house. Then, it called Xie Qiao a few times. It guessed that this person was inside.
Xie Qiao looked at the house and frowned.
She felt that something was wrong. She thought about it and looked around again. She found that this place looked ordinary, but in fact, there was something else. There were some things placed outside that formed a formation to change the five elements of the aura. To put it simply, it was used to conceal the evil energy and trick fellow Taoist masters.
“There’s a cover-up here. This house doesn’t seem to have any problems, but if this cover-up is removed, I’m afraid the evil energy will soar to the sky.”
She held a compass in her hand, and the display on the compass was the same as usual. If other Taoist masters were to pass by, they would definitely not be able to see anything with just the compass. However, she could faintly sense a bad aura, and she could also faintly hear the… howls of ghouls.
