Chapter 1019 Quite Capable
Xie Qiao calmly collected those ghouls, then she looked at Ms. Zuo and asked, “Where is the evil person?”
“In my well,” Ms. Zuo immediately said. Xie Qiao nodded.
Under her guidance, they went to look for her. Zhao Xuanjing saw that her footsteps were weak, so he helped her by her side.
Sure enough, not long after, they saw a bloody person lying at the bottom of the well. It was a half-grown “child”.
When Yuan Changzi saw that, he was shocked. After pulling the man up, he said in surprise, “Is this the evil person? Why is he so young?!”
“It’s just dwarfism,” said Xie Qiao. Then, she kicked the man. “He’s still alive, but the backlash is so great that it’s no different from death.”
Xie Qiao thought for a moment and found a rope to tie him up. Then, she took out one of her pills and stuffed it into the man’s mouth.
“Master Mo, why?” Yuan Changzi asked.
“He asked someone to send me a message and even used a dharma instrument to harm me. Fortunately, I found it in time. Otherwise, I would have fallen into his trap. I have no enmity with him, so I have to ask him why he targeted me,” Xie Qiao explained. With Xie Qiao’s medicine, Wan Jiulei quickly woke up.
When he saw Xie Qiao, his expression was ferocious. “You are quite capable!”
“Thank you for your praise, but even if you praise me like that, I would still say that you are a good-for-nothing.” Xie Qiao said each word very seriously.
Wan Jiulei’s expression became even worse.
“What enmity do we have?” Xie Qiao asked.
“Nothing.”
Xie Qiao chuckled. “You’re lying.”
She had unknowingly taken out a copper bell in her hand. She raised it and smashed it at Wan Jiulei. With a crisp sound, she said, “Tell me the truth!”
“You broke my formation!” Wan Jiulei’s expression was cold. “The wooden figure under the five element tree outside the city belonged to me. In the end, it was destroyed by you. You even stole my reishi mushroom!” Xie Qiao did not feel guilty at all. She was not the one who did the immoral thing.
Xie Qiao glanced at him from top to bottom and smiled sarcastically. “You’re at most 40, right? The wooden figure outside the city isn’t young anymore. Could it be that you did it when you were young? It doesn’t look like it!”
This person looked like a child, but now that she was close to him, Xie Qiao could guess his true age by looking carefully at his eyes and hair.
Wan Jiuli’s expression changed, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
The backlash was so severe that it was naturally not something that a pill could solve.
This person’s mouth was quite tight, and the pain of the backlash was not something that an ordinary person could endure. However, his expression did not change much.
It should be useless to ask more questions. “Let us bring this person back. With his condition, he definitely won’t be able to live for long. However, people like him are afraid of becoming vengeful spirits after death. If we bring him back, we will be able to avoid this harm,” Taoist Master Guanglun said.
Xie Qiao wanted to say that she could do it too.
However, the Taoist masters had gone through a lot of trouble to come here. She had to give face to them, so she nodded in agreement. Xie Qiao felt that the reason why this person came to find her was probably not just because of the wooden figure outside the city. It was also possible that… it was because of Old Master Li’s feng shui…
He was great at looking at feng shui. An ordinary Taoist master would definitely not be able to do it.
Perhaps she had offended someone long ago, but she did not know it.
Xie Qiao was not worried. She had some confidence in herself.
Xie Qiao and Zhao Xuanjing were not in a hurry to leave. She put Ms. Zuo away first and then sat in the carriage. While resting, she went outside the city to dig up the bones. In one go, she wanted to attract the child’s soul.
Xie Qiao could basically confirm that the little ghoul was still there.
After all, mother and son were connected. When the mother turned into a vengeful spirit, the little one should be the same. It was just that the power was small, so it had not formed yet, so it floated elsewhere.
It was indeed not difficult to look for it.
