After leaving the cave, they continued to chase in the direction of the evil spirits fleeing. The direction of the talisman paper was very obvious. Dong Zheng asked. When he was in the imperial city, Ren Heming planted a mark on the evil spirits. It was Maoshan's secret technique. , the mark will never disappear unless it dissipates and self-breaks itself.
They got on the official road leading to Caliphate, and they walked much faster from the spacious and flat road, but before they had walked for a long time, Dong Zheng saw the carriage that fell to the ground on the side of the road ahead.
Dong Zheng and Ren Heming hurried over, a double-rut carriage overturned sideways in the bushes by the roadside, and fifteen or six other vehicles behind them overturned in the woods, looking like a caravan coming from elsewhere.
When they got closer, a special smell came, with a sweet and rotten stench. This smell was not unfamiliar to the two of them. They had just smelled it from the mysterious hole.
"Dashi's caravan, they often bring our silk, porcelain and tea to Dashi, and then bring back their carpets and utensils." Ren Heming dismounted, he didn't see a single person in the entire caravan, all the horses were already Dead, with wide mouth and wide eyes, a frightened look, the state of the limbs shows that at the moment of death, they have not stopped running.
Ren Heming frowned tightly, and the talisman paper in his arms was hot again, this time even stronger than before: "This is not right."
He didn't need to say that Dong Zheng knew that something was wrong. At this moment, that inexplicable sense of unease came to his heart again, and something similar to the hole in the ground fell on the head of the caravan.
Dong Zheng asked him, "Could it be the thing we hunted down?"
In fact, Dong Zheng didn't know what the evil spirit looked like. All his understanding of the evil spirit came from Ren Heming's explanation - he killed a lot of people and fled all the way from the imperial city. As for how he hurt people, why With only two people chasing him, he just couldn't escape and kill them both... Dong Zheng didn't know about it.
Ren Heming shook his head without thinking: "No, if that thing did it, there would be no body left behind. I didn't see any businessman, where did they go?"
Did he escape before the disaster, or did something unexpected happen
No one knows, but Dong Zheng already has the answer of his own inclination.
The temperature of the talisman paper was still rising, indicating possible danger. Ren Heming retreated to Dong Zheng's side, hesitated, and asked, "What should I do?"
Dong Zheng looked at the convoy that turned over among the bushes. The horse's body had not lost its temperature and was very fresh. Intuition told him that things must not be as simple as he saw.
He decides:
△ Carefully search the convoy → skip to chapter 238
○Leave directly → skip to chapter 239
