When we walked out of the town, the fog suddenly dissipated. The light outside was normal and the temperature increased a bit.
I called out to He Zhi and Dunkong, and then I looked inside the carriage.
But the carriage was actually empty...
Mother and son...are not here!
My face suddenly changed, and my heart palpitated so intensely that it almost swallowed me up!
I turned around sharply and looked around.
Liu Zhengdao frowned and said in a deep voice: "It shouldn't be...did they enter the town last night?!"
"Impossible!" I said flatly, my tone sharp.
Liu Zhengdao was silent and did not speak immediately.
My breathing became more rapid, and I realized that my tone was too harsh.
"Director Liu, Zhi'er and Dunkong both listened to my arrangements and knew how to be cautious. Besides, the streets in the town last night were full of troublemakers and living corpses. It was impossible for them to enter the town." I explained. .
As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, a big horse snorted and stepped forward. The other horse followed it forward at the same time, pulling the carriage directly into the town road.
My heart suddenly sank...
The vertical lines on Liu Zhengdao's forehead became extremely deep. He followed the carriage forward, and I hurriedly stepped forward. In the blink of an eye, we were back in the town again.
Under the white fog, the vision became unclear again. Both horses shook their heads from side to side uneasily, as if they were frightened.
They were also tapping their hooves in place, making a tapping sound.
The horses of the Qiang tribe are very spiritual, especially since they have been with He Zhi and me for more than six years. Their intelligence may not be weaker than that of old chickens.
He Fei and Dunkong... actually entered the town? !
There were no signs of fighting at the entrance of the town just now, so they couldn't have been forcibly brought in.
Those living corpses and haunted people have no ability to come out.
He Zhi has the skills of a ghost woman and a coffin maker, and Dun Kong is even more talented.
Once you get started, there will definitely be a lot of movement.
So they entered the town on their own?
I quickly deduced and analyzed in my mind.
The final result was that they came in because they discovered something.
"Father said that Mr. Jiang, who is well-matched to us, can never predict. Mr. Li, you are also very talented. You should be able to figure out where they are." Liu Zhengdao spoke.
While he was talking, I took out the compass and murmured in a low voice: "The mouth is the exchange, the exchange is the mountain collapse and the earth is split, the place is near the river."
As soon as I finished speaking, Liu Zhengdao immediately shook his head and said solemnly: "There is no river in Shinian Town. When the drought demon comes out, even the well water is almost dry."
A trace of sweat suddenly broke out on my forehead, and my expression became more solemn. I deduce it again and murmured: "Li Fenmu, Mu Wei Zhen... Is it Zhen Gua again?"
My eyelids were twitching wildly, and there was a big drop of sweat on my forehead.
Because Zhen Gua is where I went to find Liu Zhengdao just now.
The place where the Drought Demon is...
The Dui Gua I mentioned earlier was relatively clear, and Liu Zhengdao could understand it clearly. However, he obviously didn't understand the Zhen Gua I was talking about now. He looked at me in surprise, but he didn't interrupt me.
Beads of sweat slipped from my forehead into my eyes, and I felt an unbearable sourness, and my heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
I'm going to go to the old forest to the east again, but before that, I have to settle the carriage and horses, and I can't just abandon them on the road.
I raised my hand to pull up the reins and walked towards the outside of the town.
After the two horses left the fog, they immediately calmed down a lot.
Liu Zhengdao followed me forward, and I took the horse to a densely wooded area outside the town. After tying the horse to a tree, they all came and rubbed my hand.
"If outsiders come, don't follow them." I stroked the horse's head twice.
They all snorted in response to me.
Turning around, I looked at Liu Zhengdao's face again. At this time, my expression was extremely solemn, and I said: "Daoist Master Liu, I want to go back to Hanba's place. The hexagrams of Dunkong are the same as yours. I will find you there, too." We can find him." Liu Zhengdao's expression suddenly changed.
He frowned and said, "During the day, it's not a big problem, but are you sure where they went?"
"Just now...but at night..."
My body stiffened again.
To be honest, He Fei and Dunkong disappeared, and Zhen Gua's position was too dangerous, which made me a little confused.
At this moment, a slight "pop" sound suddenly came from his shoulder.
It’s the sound of the gold abacus’ beads colliding.
My chaotic mind suddenly became much clearer.
My pupils were constricted, and a thin layer of sweat formed on my back.
"Double hexagrams have double responses. The first one is for you, and the second half is for you. I came first, and Taoist Master Liu came later. The Dunkong may not respond to the first one. There is another two, which is the downtown hexagram... He Pheasant Neither He nor Dunkong would be stupid enough to go to such a dangerous place, especially when He Pheasant also knows about Drought Demon and we have dealt with Drought Demon before..."
"Director Liu, what's the busiest place in Shi Nian Town?!"
Liu Zhengdao thought for a long time and said: "There is a vegetable market in the west of the town. It is the busiest there, but there is no one there now."
"Let's go over there. Dunkong and Zhi'er are both over there!" I said decisively.
Liu Zhengdao immediately led the way.
After entering the town again, the thick fog enveloped me. I stretched out my hand to disperse it, but the fog enveloped me again.
The feeling of heart palpitations becomes more intense, as if someone is watching us from the dark...
Time passed bit by bit.
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, Liu Zhengdao's pace slowed down a little.
The fog is thicker, and you can't see anything even one meter away!
At this moment, Liu Zhengdao suddenly raised his hand, picked up the whisk from his waist, and whipped it into the mist!
The fog in front suddenly fluctuated!
A sharp voice sounded: "Hit the head!"
Isn’t this scolding voice coming from He Pheasant? !
In an instant, the fly whisk was entangled with a black mourning stick mixed with white silk.
A figure rushed out of the mist in an instant. She jumped into the air and her legs were about to fall towards Liu Zhengdao's shoulders!
The vertical lines between Liu Zhengdao's eyebrows were deeper, almost forming the character "Sichuan". He touched his left hand on his waist, and a sharp bronze sword fell into his palm.
"Pheasant!" I shouted!
He Zhi's expression suddenly changed. She suddenly changed her body shape and landed heavily in mid-air. She placed her hands on the ground to maintain her balance.
The sound of rapid footsteps came, and a thin figure also ran to He Zhi's side. He called me in surprise: "Daddy!"
I raised my hand to block Liu Zhengdao, and Liu Zhengdao stopped his movements at the same time. The dust on the whisk spread out, and the mourning stick fell to the ground.
He Zhi stood up in a hurry.
A look of surprise instantly appeared on her face, and she and Dunkong quickly came to me.
He Zhi threw himself into my arms, and Dunkong also hugged one of my arms.
"Why did you enter the town?" After a short period of joy, I was filled with fear and worry. There was also a bit of questioning in my tone.
Before He Zhi could speak, Dunkong spoke first, and he said in a childish voice: "Dad... we followed someone in. My mother and I mistakenly recognized him..."
Liu Zhengdao's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in an extremely stern voice: "People? What people?!"
