The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Zhou Shiyue did feel it most obviously, but as long as Lu Zhaoling was around, it was no problem.

Before they came over, Qingmu and the others met the old servant that Jin Xiaoxiucai mentioned in that house.

At that time, the officer suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and Qingmu felt that something was wrong. The talisman on his body was also getting hot, so he immediately gave an order for everyone to move away.

However, he also knew in his heart that the missing children were most likely in this house.

If he waits until he invites the princess and others over, I wonder what will happen to those children.

Although Master Yin said that those children's lives would not be in danger if they were to offer sacrifices to living people, their temperaments and bodies would be damaged over time.

He will no longer be a normal child and will not live long.

Besides, it was Jin Xiaoxiucai who brought them here, so they couldn’t let him stay here and take risks.

So Qingmu immediately asked an official to take Jin Xiaoxiu away first.

The officer who was suffering from stomachache also left quickly.

Qingmu thought of a way to notify Lu Zhaoling. He took out a talisman, walked to the door, and put the talisman close to the crack of the door.

Just as he expected, the talisman turned into ashes in an instant.

Jin Xiaoxiucai walked a few steps with the officer who was leading him away. Then he thought of something and quickly turned back. Just as he was about to talk to Qingmu, he saw the talisman suddenly turn into ashes.

He was startled.

Qingmu knew that Lu Zhaoling would be able to sense when the talisman was used up all at once.

He reached out and tried to push the door, but it was bolted from the inside.

Jin Xiaoxiucai said quickly, "Brothers, I was just about to say that if the door can't be opened, I can go to the side yard and crawl through a hole to get in."

That was what he had just thought of.

He knew where the holes were that kids used to sneak into when playing hide-and-seek, and only his small body could fit in here.

Aoki looked back at him and said, "No need, just leave here."

He signaled the officer to take Jin Xiaoxiu away.

After the people left, Qingmu took a few steps back, took a few quick steps, and flew over the courtyard wall. Before he jumped down, he saw an old man lying on a bamboo rocking chair under the shade of a tree in the yard with his eyes closed.

This should be the old servant that Jin Xiaoxiucai mentioned.

But from this perspective, I can’t tell whether he was asleep or something happened to him.

Aoki jumped down and opened the door.

This is just in case something happens and someone outside can come in as soon as possible.

Then he walked quickly towards the old servant, reached out and touched his neck, and found that he was still alive.

However, the old servant was cold all over, and the skin of his hands, which were placed at his sides, was pale and somewhat gray, especially his fingernails. It was unclear whether he had had problems originally or if the problem had arisen now, as his fingernails were black, and if one looked closely, there were deep red vertical lines.

The people of Aoki here all feel a little cold.

He had also learned a little bit of the basics of the mysterious arts from Lu Zhaoling. Now he could feel something flowing silently towards him from all directions, as if it wanted to wrap him up.

But the talismans on his body turned into ashes one by one.

If all the talismans on him were used up, he would be left without any protection.

Aoki took out a amulet from his body and stuffed it into the old servant's arms, then turned around, picked him up and carried him out the door.

Aoki also knew at this time that it would definitely not be a good idea to stay in this house. It would be much better to go out than to stay here.

As a result, just as he carried the old servant outside, he looked up and saw that the official and Jin Xiaoxiucai had returned again.

"What's going on? I asked you to take him away, so why did you come back?" Aoki frowned and looked at the officer.

The officer was holding the young scholar's arm with one hand.

Hearing this, his voice trembled a little, "Lord Aoki, it's not me who wants him to come back."

"We had walked out for a while, and for some reason, Jin Xiaoxiu's eyes suddenly widened, and he turned around and walked back."

"I don't know what happened. I couldn't stop him even if I tried, so I just followed him. I didn't expect he was going to come back here."

The officer's words made Qingmu immediately look at Jin Xiaoxiucai.

Jin Xiaoxiu's eyes, which were clear and bright just now, were now somewhat dazed. His intelligence and cleverness seemed to be covered up.

"Little scholar?" Qingmu called him, but his heart sank.

He could also see that Jin Xiaoxiucai had also fallen into the trap.

This situation is certainly not normal.

He and the officers all had talismans on their bodies, probably because they were adults. This time the living evil was mainly targeting children, and Jin Xiaoxiucai was also within the right age group, so they were still fine, but he became like this.

Qingmu gritted his teeth, took out his amulet, opened it quickly, tore open Jin Xiaoxiucai's clothes, and placed the amulet directly on his chest.

"call!"

The talisman suddenly turned into ashes.

But Jin Xiaoxiucai was like a man being rescued from drowning. He took a deep breath and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Brother..."

He grabbed Aoki's arm and tried to calm himself down.

"Just now I felt like I was being controlled. A voice in my ear told me to go back and there were fun and delicious things waiting for me."

He quickly told Aoki about the situation.

Aoki was quite surprised.

Jin Xiaoxiu is really smart. As soon as he recovered, he knew to tell him about the situation immediately.

A normal child would be crying now.

But he was obviously very scared, his face was pale, his lips looked blue, and he looked very uncomfortable, but his little head started to move immediately.

"I see."

Aoki calmed himself down.

He had to make a decision before the princess arrived.

"Little scholar, it seems you have to stay here and don't leave yet." Aoki couldn't guarantee that he could go back safely.

If something happens again, he won't be able to see it.

"You stay here and guard this old man." Qingmu said, and took out another evil-repelling talisman and handed it to Jin Xiaoxiucai, "Take it, don't let go, and don't walk away."

Jin Xiaoxiu held the talisman tightly, pursed his lips, and nodded vigorously. Then he leaned against the old servant sitting at the foot of the wall.

Aoki looked at the officer.

"We're going in now."

"Lord Aoki, do you want to wait for our Lord? He should be bringing other people here soon..." The officer retreated somewhat.

It looked like there might be something scary in this house. If he went in, would he die inside?

People are always afraid of death, and he is no exception.

"Our princess will be here soon, we have to go in and save those children first." Aoki said.

The officer gritted his teeth.

"Can Miss Lu really arrive in time?"

Aoki didn't think twice and said, "Of course."

He absolutely believed in the princess.

"Then, let's go in." The officer looked like he was ready to take a gamble.
