Qing Xiao felt a little confused.

If the thing Bai Hui lost was in the river below, then even if they didn't look for it there, they should go downstream, because the token might have moved downstream with the water and sand.

But Lu Zhaoling took them upstream. Can they find anything there?

He looked at Zhou Shiyue.

Zhou Shiyue had no doubts at all and trusted Lu Zhaoling wholeheartedly.

Qingmu Qingyu has already made preparations.

"Princess, where should we start looking?"

"We haven't found any drowned people along the way. Could it be that no one has ever drowned in this river?"

Lu Zhaoling stood here, looking at the river, then at the sky, and then at the people on the river bank in front.

Those people had probably been there for a few days. There was a fire nearby, and they had also built the simplest shed with branches and hay.

There was still some distance, so I couldn't see clearly what they were doing.

But Lu Zhaoling was sharp-eyed and still saw a small flash of light on the riverbank over there.

"Zhou Shiyue, you have the best eyesight. Look over there, don't they have a bronze mirror?"

Lu Zhaoling pointed in that direction.

There was a flash of light just now, as if it was the reflection of the mirror.

They were far away from the other side at this location, so they were not afraid of being heard by the other party when talking.

Zhou Shiyue walked over, looked carefully, and nodded.

"It's a bronze mirror. And there's another one hanging on the tree behind the fire."

"Really?" Lu Zhaoling looked in the direction he said, and sure enough, she saw a flash of light there.

She had to admit that Zhou Shiyue's eyesight was truly excellent. She hadn't even noticed it just now, yet he could actually see it so clearly.

"What is the mirror used for?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

Lu Zhaoling sighed, "It seems the barbarians aren't stupid either. Not only did I figure out how to find the drowned ghost, they also figured out that those two mirrors are used to catch drowned ghosts."

Zhou Shiyue noticed the key point of her words. "Catch?"

Lu Zhaoling nodded.

"It seems they not only thought of it first, but also looked for the drowned ghost. However, they didn't find it. One possibility is that there is no drowned ghost here, or another possibility is that the drowned ghost simply doesn't want to help them, so it hid and stayed in the river."

Zhou Shiyue understood, "So that's why they resorted to this method, to forcefully catch the ghost?"

"Correct."

As Lu Zhaoling spoke, he took out a small paper figure from his arms.

"They probably didn't find the token either, and they tried various other methods."

Now we can only ask the drowned ghost for help.

Since the other party has already tried it, they don't need to try again.

"I'll have the paper figurine go over and check to see if they've caught the drowned ghost in the mirror."

"If they catch it, you will rob it?"

Zhou Shiyue felt that he had never done something like robbing ghosts before.

Lu Zhaoling blinked and said, "How can this be called robbery? There are rules in the underworld. If someone sets up a formation and uses talismans, the ghost they catch is theirs. Robbing is not fair."

Qing Xiao was a little curious, "Then should we look for it again?"

"It's not that easy to find it again. Look, they are forced to use this method, which means there are very few drowned ghosts here, maybe only one." Lu Zhaoling said.

Everyone was a little confused.

What if they can’t rob it and can’t find it, what will they do?

At this time, Qingmu said, "Princess, if they have already caught the drowned ghost, let's do a good deed and rescue the drowned ghost."

Lu Zhaoling clapped her hands and gave Qingmu an appreciative look.

"That's right! Using light and a bronze mirror to catch a drowned ghost is a very cruel thing. The drowned ghost will be in great pain after entering the mirror. Letting him go is a good deed!"

If they release the ghost and then bring it back, it won’t be considered as their robbery.

Qing Xiao: So noble.

He looked at Aoki, and seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that he will have to learn from Aoki in the future that one should know how to adapt.

Qingyu also suddenly understood after Qingmu finished speaking.

So that’s it! He understood.

Lu Zhaoling threw the little paper figure, and it fluttered in the air like a piece of snow.

It floated down, then swept across the river with the wind and drifted towards the shore.

It landed in the grass by the river, bent its little body, and crawled through the grass. With a few clicks, it quickly ran behind the first bronze mirror, stuck to the back of the mirror, and waited for a while.

Several people nearby glanced at the bronze mirror.

Something seemed to move just now.

But after looking for a while, he found nothing and turned back to talk to other people.

The little paper man then poked his head out from behind the mirror and looked at the mirror.

No.

It turned around and rushed towards another mirror from the grass.

When passing by the fire, it slid around it.

Paper figurines are afraid of fire. The fire is half-extinguished, but there is still red-hot charcoal, and a spark could splash onto the figurine and burn a small hole in it.

The little paper man came under the tree and saw that the bronze mirror was hanging on the tree. He jumped a little but did not float high.

It bent down and jumped again, and just then a gust of wind blew by and it immediately floated up.

When I looked in the mirror, the little paper man almost fell down.

At this moment, Lu Zhaoling, who was sensing the information from the little paper man, blinked, stretched out his hand and grabbed the air, and the little paper man floated back.

“They actually caught it.”

Lu Zhaoling said to Zhou Shiyue.

"So we still have to go?"

"No, otherwise why would I come here?" Lu Zhaoling pointed to the spot under her feet. "This is the feng shui location of Huihe River. Besides, if someone really drowned in Huihe River, they would probably fall in here."

This is the reason why she decided to come to this position after careful calculation.

"Since the person drowned here, if we want their help, we have to help them retrieve their remains. Because they died in this feng shui location, they have been suppressed by the Huishui River since their death. They can't be reincarnated, and the ghost messenger can't find them."

Lu Zhaoling came to ask the drowned ghost for help and would reward him.

It would be strange if the other party would agree to what the barbarians said if they used tough measures to force them.

The little paper figurine was back in her hands.

Lu Zhaoling rubbed it lightly and calculated it again more carefully.

"There is only one drowned ghost."

So they have no other choice.

"Princess, I'll go into the water and look for the other party's body." Aoki said.

"I really need to trouble you. Qingyu, please help too." Lu Zhaoling said apologetically, "I need to go into the water."

"It's what a subordinate should do."

Lu Zhaoling took out a talisman and said, "Once you find it, stick it on the corpse's heart, and his soul will come out of the bronze mirror."

"Then you must bring the bodies up as quickly as possible."

Qingmu Qingyu nodded, "I understand."

They immediately made preparations to go into the water.

Lu Zhaoling gave a few talismans and asked Qingyin Qingbao to place them around.

Qing Xiao asked, "Then what should my subordinates do?"
