Chapter 829: Done For
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was actually not too late. It was not even dark yet.
Xie Qiao’s carriage still had quite a lot of snacks and food inside, so they did not have to worry about going hungry.
After letting the horse go, the three of them looked around while the coachman waited in place.
They had just entered the mountain path.
There did not seem to be anything special about the mountain. There was only a sense of mist and thick clouds, which gave it an otherworldliness.
“There doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.” Yu Xian looked around, then shook her head. “There’s no sign of it at all?”
“After the sun sets, it should be different.” Xie Qiao could feel a sense of danger.
Before the sky turned dark, Xie Qiao took out a copper coin and began to perform divination.
Yu Xian looked even more curious.
Young Lady Xie could do this? This scene…
Yu Xian could not help but think of that Taoist sage from back then. She was also like this, solemnly holding something and chanting…
Right, their figures were almost the same, and their movements… were exactly the same!
Yu Xian kept thinking that something was strange.
However, Xie Qiao was performing divination seriously, so she was too embarrassed to disturb her.
After coming over for a while, she tilted her head and said, “Young Lady Xie, how is it?”
Before she came to the capital, she would not have believed in fortune-telling. However, things were different now. When she saw this fortune-telling master, she could not help but feel a sense of respect for her!
Those who knew fortune-telling were all amazing!
Xie Qiao frowned and said, “Not too good.”
Not only was it bad, there would be a calamity.
She was done for. She did not look at the almanac before heading out today. She was going to fail!
It did not matter if she died on her own. There were also Feng Yingying and Yu Xian, two innocent young ladies. If they were killed because of her, she would not be reincarnated as a pig or a dog in her next life, right?
Xie Qiao’s face seemed to be covered in a layer of ice. Then, she took out three stacks of talismans from the basket.
Together with the coachman, each of them stuffed a stack of talismans into their arms.
“Keep them. Don’t lose them. This place is bad. There will be bad luck.” Xie Qiao was very solemn. Then, she pulled out a few red ropes from the bamboo basket. With some tricks in her hands, she weaved the red ropes into a strange shape and hung them on the carriage.
Yu Xian could not understand it either.
However, Xie Qiao looked serious, which scared the two of them.
“If it’s too troublesome, we can leave now, right?” Yu Xian thought for a moment and asked.
“We can’t get out. Do you believe it?” Xie Qiao said.
Humans and animals were different. Humans were more likely to bring bad luck, and their auras were more complicated. If the horse went back alone, it would definitely have a smooth journey. However, if it brought people with it, it would probably have to circle around this place.
“What do you mean…?” Yu Xian was curious, but there was no fear on her face.
“We bumped into that ghoul today, and our bodies are more or less stained with some bad luck. Therefore, as soon as we entered this place, we should have been trapped. We can’t leave for the time being.” Xie Qiao thought for a moment, and seeing that it was still early, she simply said, “Leave this carriage for now. If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you home.”
Yu Xian nodded. It was still early anyway, so she would give it a try.
Feng Yingying did not feel how terrifying the surroundings were, but she did not dare to say anything after hearing Xie Qiao’s words.
Whatever the two sisters said, she would follow. She was very obedient.
Yu Xian remembered that the path into the mountains was not too far away, so it should be quite easy to recognize it. She called the shots and led the way.
Step by step, she moved toward the outside.
However, after 30 minutes, she saw the carriage.
Yu Xian was a little confused. She pointed in the direction she had been walking in and then pointed at the carriage. “Are we… lost?”
“Yes.” Xie Qiao’s eyes flickered.
Lost… Hah, they were going in circles..
