Seeing her sad face, Zhao Xuanjing was a little worried. "Are these ghouls difficult to deal with?"
"Yes, it seems that they were locked in the grave and starved to death. Besides, so many of them are still in the grave and can't come out. They have become ghouls and can't be reincarnated. There must be an evil formation around the grave, which prevents them from reincarnating. Now that I've met them, it's not good for my cultivation... if I don't take care of them."
She had the ability to capture spirits. If she did not do anything when she saw it, it would be harmful to her good karma.
It was not easy for her body to recover. She might suffer again.
With her health, she could not do anything about it.
"It's okay. I'll accompany you to look at it. Although we're here for the fire murder case, if you see other cases, you can't sit back and do nothing. According to what you said, someone ignored the law and buried living people with him. That's a big crime." Zhao Xuanjing's gaze was like a deep pool, Xie Qiao's straight body was like a pine tree as he stood by the side. It was as if he was encircled by him, and her sense of security increased.
There were many rules in the Qianyuan dynasty that were quite humane.
The previous dynasty's emperor even buried concubines with him, but the practice was completely gone in the Qianyuan dynasty.
Whether it was ordinary people or nobles, they could only be buried with artifacts. Those rich and noble families would at most bury some dolls, ceramics, and clay sculptures, but they would not dare to bury living people recklessly.
Even servants were not allowed.
Of course, this was clearly forbidden. In private, some families might even buy some worthless servants to bury in the grave to accompany the dead.
If they were not discovered, then no one would care about them.
Xie Qiao's behavior earlier was strange. At that moment, the servants in the Li family's team were all scared out of their wits.
All of them looked at Xie Qiao with fear in their eyes.
However, they were not afraid of Xie Qiao. They were afraid of the surrounding environment.
It was obvious that the master was doing something!
There must be something evil around here!
The Crown Prince had Elder Li pass down the order to place all the edible things in the team into a carriage.
The carriage continued forward.
Xie Qiao did not dare to look at the food carriage anymore.
It was because there were many starving spirits squeezed in and out of the carriage. In order to take that mouthful of food, the spirits were squeezed until they were deformed!
How terrifying.
The carriage coachman's old face froze, and his entire body could not help but tremble.
There was definitely something evil on this carriage.
Something was wrong. Not only did the carriage window ring every now and then, the curtains were also fluttering in the wind. It just felt gloomy and scary. What was even worse was that Master Mo had given him a talisman to wear.
What was the meaning of that?! Did that not mean that there was something strange in his carriage?!
The people who traveled with the carriage this time were more courageous, but even so, they were still a little afraid.
Xie Qiao asked the ghoul that had been killed by the explosion to help. He looked around and saw that there was a source of water with a strong evil energy.
Although the ghoul that had been killed by the explosion only had one wish, it did not mind having a few more flying swords or cool clothes. Therefore, it could not wait for Master Mo to give him more tasks.
When evening came, the spirits really disappeared.
One by one, they hovered somewhere like wooden figures. They were so fast that the convoy could not keep up, but fortunately, they had the ghoul that exploded to guide them.
Xie Qiao immediately led the convoy in that direction.
Elder Li did not stop them and followed Xie Qiao's arrangements.
After traveling for more than two hours, Xie Qiao could already see the evil energy faintly rising in the distance, so she immediately got the convoy to stop.
It was inappropriate to get too close to that place at night.. She would see what to do during the day.
