Nie Caizhu was also full of suspicions. Yesterday evening they had indeed driven out of the city, but she did not know why they returned to the Shen residence early in the morning. One of them was lying on the bed, the other was lying on the table, both were sleeping with their clothes on.
"Could it be that the son-in-law found out? What kind of magic did he use to get us back? "Xiao Chun suddenly thought of something, and said with some fear covering her mouth.
"Impossible, the letter I left for him was not opened, he did not know we were leaving. Moreover, from his reaction just now, it was definitely not him. "Nie Caizhu shook her head and said.
"Then what is going on?" Xiao Chun said with a depressed face, holding her head with both hands.
Nie Caizhu was also at a loss in her heart, and did not say anything.
"How about this, later you go to the city again, see if our carriage is still there, if it is not, buy a new one, we will leave again tonight." After a moment, she suddenly said.
"Okay." Xiao Chun hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied.
…
Time flew, and a few days passed.
Nie Caizhu and Xiao Chun, master and servant, left Chunhua County three times in a row at night, but every second day, they would find themselves inexplicably back to the Shen residence.
After such a few times, the travel expenses of the two people had been spent a lot, and even Nie Caizhu could not help but suspect that Shen Luo was secretly playing tricks.
But she had probed both openly and secretly, but the result was still to no avail, and could only temporarily give up.
This night.
Shen Luo, as usual, was drawing talismans in the room, and was busy until late at night.
"It's done, it's really done …"
Hearing a surprised scream from his mouth, after several months, he finally succeeded in drawing a "Mountain Crossing Talisman".
Shen Luo twirled the talisman paper, and carefully looked at it in front of his eyes. The talisman on the paper was coherent, and it was full of courage and charm, and the appearance of the talisman could be seen at a glance.
He looked up and down, and was naturally full of joy.
This Mountain-crossing Talisman was the first talisman he had successfully drawn outside the dreamland. Although it was not of a high rank, it still had a special meaning to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo stared at the talisman. Suddenly, his expression changed as he realized that something was wrong.
More than ten breaths had passed since the talisman was formed, but the red light on the talisman paper did not disappear. Instead, it was still flickering.
"Don't tell me … there's a demonic aura!" Shen Luo's eyes suddenly narrowed. Holding the Mountain-Crossing Talisman in his hand, he rushed out of the room.
Standing in the courtyard, Shen Luo held the talisman in his hand and tested the surroundings. He found that when the talisman was facing the front yard, the flickering red light on its surface would become more rapid.
"There really is a demonic aura, and it's actually in my Shen residence!" Shen Luo was furious. He quickly held the talisman and rushed to the front yard.
The further he went, the brighter the light from the talisman became.
Along the way, when he passed by Nie Caizhu's courtyard, the light on the talisman paper suddenly stopped flickering, and suddenly became twice as bright.
Shen Luo was shocked, and immediately rushed into the courtyard.
As a result, he had just reached the courtyard when he saw Nie Caizhu standing in front of a courtyard wall. Her back was facing him, and her shoulders were swaying left and right. She looked like she was drunk.
Shen Luo stretched the talisman paper forward. The light on the paper suddenly brightened, and a trace of burning sensation came from it.
The source of the demonic aura, was surprisingly Nie Caizhu!
"How can it be?" This time, Shen Luo suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning.
Although he and Nie Caizhu didn't see each other all the time, they still saw each other every day. Sometimes, just a few words like this would double his energy for the whole day. He also noticed that Nie Caizhu didn't cultivate, and her body didn't have any mana fluctuations, let alone any demonic aura.
"Could it be that there's a problem with the talisman?" Shen Luo suddenly felt that it would be best if he drew the wrong talisman.
He was about to call out to Nie Caizhu, but the latter suddenly rose from the ground and directly jumped over the courtyard wall, disappearing into the moonlight. No matter how one looked at her movements, she wasn't an ordinary person.
Shen Luo looked at this scene with his eyes wide open, and for a moment, he didn't react.
This time, it was impossible for him to deceive himself and others. There was definitely a problem with Nie Caizhu's body!
But right now, Shen Luo simply didn't have time to think. He could only jump and quickly chase after her.
Shen Luo chased after Nie Caizhu the whole way, the Mountain Crossing Talisman in his hand lit up the entire time. As long as he got a little closer, the light on the talisman would become brighter.
He simply put the talisman back into his sleeve, held his breath and concentrated, and followed Nie Caizhu with all his strength.
Very quickly, the two people left the Shen residence one after the other, and arrived at the county gate.
At night, the county gate was already closed. There were still soldiers stationed at the gate, so naturally, they couldn't enter or leave.
When Nie Caizhu was near the city gate, she suddenly turned around and walked along the base of the city wall for more than a hundred feet. After she was out of the line of sight of the soldiers, she suddenly grabbed the bricks on the wall with both hands and started to climb up the city wall with her feet. Then, she started to climb up the city wall with a strange posture like a spider.
Her movements were swift, but there was no sound. Shen Luo watched from afar, and his heart was filled with bitterness.
Not long later, Nie Caizhu used this strange posture to quickly climb over the city wall, and headed out of the city.
Shen Luo hurriedly jumped over the wall and saw that after Nie Caizhu landed on the ground, she resumed her walking posture, and like before, she walked forward with a slight sway.
His heart became more and more suspicious, and the mana in his body accelerated. His footsteps were as swift as the wind, and his figure flashed through the forest outside the city, leaving behind afterimages. Very quickly, he circled in front of Nie Caizhu.
Shen Luo nimbly jumped onto an old tree, and hid his body behind the branches and leaves. His eyes focused, and secretly looked at Nie Caizhu who was far away on the road.
As the distance got closer, Nie Caizhu's cheeks became clearer under the moonlight. Shen Luo saw this, and his brows furrowed deeper.
He suddenly discovered that Nie Caizhu's eyes were tightly closed, and her expression was peaceful. She was completely in a sleeping posture.
"Sleepwalking … seems like someone is secretly controlling her." Shen Luo secretly said in his heart, and instead let out a sigh of relief.
As long as Nie Caizhu herself was not a demon, then everything still had a chance.
While he was thinking, Nie Caizhu had already passed by the tree, and followed the road out of the city.
Shen Luo looked along the road, and couldn't help but frown again. That was where the Round Pearl Temple was located.
He didn't immediately wake up Nie Caizhu, but followed closely behind.
As they neared the Round Pearl Temple, a large cloud floated in from nowhere, and just happened to block the moonlight, casting the entire land into shadow.
Shen Luo looked from afar and saw that the Round Pearl Temple under the shadow was pitch-black. It did not have its usual solemn and dignified appearance. The flying eaves and curved ridges of the precious temple, as well as the ridge beasts arranged on them, looked somewhat sinister and jagged against the dim light of the night.
Nie Caizhu arrived in front of the temple, and just like before, climbed up the wall in a strange manner, and flipped into the temple.
Shen Luo hurriedly followed, and saw that the latter had already passed through the front yard, and was heading towards the Guanyin Hall.
"Why is it here again?"
Shen Luo vaguely remembered that when he first came to find Nie Caizhu, he saw her around here.
