Chapter 1017 Break
Xie Qiao would not lie just to break the illusion. She would do whatever she could to find the soul. She would not lie to anyone.
However, in the eyes of Yuan Changzi and Taoist Master Guanglun, she was lying.
Moreover… She was lying in a measured manner.
This kind of deception was the most brilliant. If she did not give people hope, they would think that her words were true!
They all felt that this ghoul was quite pitiful.
She had died so miserably when she was alive, and even after she died, she met the Taoist master from the Water Moon Temple.
“Why should I believe you… What If you’re tricking me?!” The woman was not a fool.
“Do you know why I came to find you?” Xie Qiao was neither fast nor slow, and she looked extremely sincere. “I came here to search for souls, but I’m looking for a few very strong souls. They should have been taken by a Taoist master. I’ve been searching for these souls for a long time. If my guess is correct, the Taoist master hiding here must have a powerful dharma instrument that can keep the souls inside and hide their aura. Am I right?
“Since I found this place, my abilities are still trustworthy. If you don’t believe me, I’ll make another vow.” Xie Qiao pointed to the sky. “I, the successor of the Water Moon Temple, Mo Chusheng, swear to the heavens. If I don’t help you… What’s your name?”
“Ms. Zuo or Young Lady Sang.”
“If I, Mo Chusheng, don’t Help Ms. Zuo find her child, my enlightenment-mind will be destroyed and I won’t have a good ending,” Xie Qiao said seriously.
Xie Qiao really did not want to fight against the strong resentment of the ghoul.
It would take a lot of energy. After all, there was an enemy hiding behind them.
Young Lady Sang was moved.
Her greatest resentment was the child. However, she was a little hesitant. There were other people in her house. Taoist Master Wan was very powerful and had many dharma instruments. She had no choice but to let them live in the house. If the Taoist masters in front of her lost in the end, if Taoist Master Wan was to finish them off, they would probably have to settle the score with her…
Just as she was hesitating, Xie Qiao sensed that the evil energy in this illusion was at its weakest.
She suddenly threw out a talisman!
“Heaven and Earth, light up the gate. Golden crow and arrows in the clouds, Northern Dipper… We beseech you, Benefactor, to all the G.o.ds, show us the five directions, and destroy the chaos! Hear my command, break!”
Xie Qiao pointed with three fingers, and the talisman exploded in the air. Almost instantly, Xie Qiao and the others felt their vision go blank for a moment. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing in a dilapidated courtyard.
The fallen leaves around them were withered and yellow, and the crows on the branches were chirping.
Yuan Changzi looked at Xie Qiao in shock. “Master Mo, what kind of talisman is that? Why is it so powerful?!”
They could break a formation too, but it would definitely take a lot of effort. Even their own strength would be exhausted.
However, this Master Mo just cast a spell and it was done?
“Of course it’s our Water Moon Temple’s ability. It’s not much,” Xie Qiao said modestly.
Zhao Xuanjing glanced at her.
Liar.
When they were at Mengjiabao, Xie Qiao either went out to capture souls or locked herself in the courtyard to inscribe talismans. The one she used just now had a familiar pattern. He had seen Xie Qiao inscribe it with his own eyes.
However, the talisman was indeed complicated. He remembered that when Xie Qiao had inscribed it, she had failed several times. After she had finished inscribing it, her entire body felt as if it had been soaked in cold water.
He had seen through her, but he would not expose her.
It was also a good thing that Xie Qiao had been modest, so as to prevent these Taoist masters from the Yuxu Temple from pestering her in the future and making her busy again.
Yuan Changzi was very envious, and he glanced at the bamboo basket beside Xie Qiao.
However, before he could say anything, a chilly wind suddenly blew. The fallen leaves around them fluttered like knives and struck at them.
“What’s going on?!” Yuan Changzi panicked.
He quickly took out the compa.s.s and calculated with one hand. His expression changed drastically. “Master Mo, the evil energy in this place is too strong!”
“Isn’t that so? We’re being surrounded.” What Xie Qiao saw were many ghouls.
