Chapter 581: He Knew How Important She Was Now?
Psshh, there was a rustling sound under his feet. A strange commotion was heard.
Many small snakes crawled out of nowhere and approached them.
Zhao Xuzhi felt a pain at the back of his neck. He quickly touched it and pulled out a snake.
In his panic, he threw it out and smashed it on the Buddha statue.
“Let’s go! Let’s go!” Everyone shouted.
However, the door was tightly shut and could not be opened no matter how hard they tried.
One of them suddenly remembered the talisman that the Crown Prince’s men had given him and said, “Let’s take out the talisman and stick it on!”
When he said that, everyone reacted and took out something while trembling. They pressed it on the door, and it was pasted perfectly.
Then, with a light push, the door and windows were all opened!
Everyone felt even more terrified and hurriedly dragged Zhao Xuzhi out.
They almost did not dare to turn back. After they left the ruined temple, they got on their horses and fled. After running for about 15 minutes, they finally stopped.
They were still in shock.
“First Young Master!” After they stopped, everyone looked at Zhao Xuzhi and the guard next to him. Both of their faces were a little purple, and they looked terrible!
Zhao Xuzhi was in pain from the jolt. He clutched his neck and looked very weak. “I was bitten by a snake…”
When everyone heard that, they were very frightened.
Fortunately, they knew that it was normal for accidents to happen when they were out, so they brought some antidotes and quickly fed them to the two of them.
The effects of the medicine were average, so it was not very effective.
They could only move on to Xun County.
Everyone could not help but think of the scene just now. They really thought it was extremely terrifying.
They clearly did not see anything. Other than those floating Ghouls’ Flames, there were only a few small snakes. However, for some reason, in that temple, they were flustered and felt that something was wrong all over their bodies!
It was as if… they had been possessed!
Moreover…
All of them had talismans on them. Only the first young master and his confidants did not have any.
Yet, only the two of them had been bitten.
Could that be… a coincidence?
Apart from that, the door was just a normal door before. Why was it blocked and could not be opened? Once the talisman was pasted, it was opened instantly?
All of them were in a sorry state. As soon as they reached Xun County, they immediately sent Zhao Xuzhi to see a doctor.
The next morning, Xie Qiao heard about that.
She smiled sarcastically.
It was their fortune that ordinary people could not see the ghouls. Were they bitten by snakes?
It was probably because of the ghouls that alerted the snakes, insects, rats, and ants around them.
Xie Qiao was sure that it was difficult for Zhao Xuzhi to remove the venom from his body. He had to go to a real Buddhist or Taoist temple to get rid of the evil.
He was lucky. His subordinates reacted quickly and knew to take him with them. Otherwise, even if he could fly into the sky, he would die there. When the coroner visited in the morning, he would conclude that Zhao Xuzhi had encountered a poisonous snake and was killed.
“Master… is that place so evil? Zhao Xuzhi didn’t stay there for long and that happened to him?” Xie Pinggang was shocked.
“Are you scared?” Xie Qiao asked with a grin.
He knew how important she was now?
“Of course I’m not afraid of things that I can see, but these things that are hidden in the dark… No one knows when they will attack. It’s really annoying.” Xie Pinggang frowned.
“It’s not that serious. Your body is full of Yang energy, and you are with the Crown Prince. You are stronger than the people around Zhao Xuzhi,” Xie Qiao said and thought for a while, then she added, “For instance, the graduate who witnessed the case for the first time. He did not die because he must have the stars protecting him. He has a kind heart, enough Yang energy and he has gathered good karma. Although he would be a little scared, it’s not a big problem. He must be an official now, right?”
