Chapter 112 - 114: Dare to Ask, Which Family’s Peace Charm is Most Effective?
As Qin Liuxi expected, the return journey was extremely smooth; however, when she stayed at a post station during the trip, she heard travelers there talk about two bizarre incidents.
At Qing County, some people died mysteriously; their blood was completely drained, leaving only mummified corpses. Logically, to become a mummy would take a long time, but those people had clearly just died.
And it wasn’t just one person, but two or three, nor did it happen in just one place; the two locations were hundreds of miles apart.
"...Everyone says these deaths aren’t caused by ordinary people, but by demons and evil spirits. Some Taoists say it’s a drought demon appearing, now bringing calamity to the mortal world, and next year there might be drought disasters!"
The emergence of a drought demon and the onset of a drought disaster, this is a legend from ancient times.
"I also heard about it, and some from the Taoist Sects have sent disciples to investigate."
"If it really is the doing of demons or ghosts, that’s truly frightening. How can living people withstand it?"
"Exactly. Hey, we should go get some peace charms for protection. Whether they work or not, let’s buy some peace of mind first."
"Right, right. By the way, I heard that in Qing State there’s a famous Qinglan Temple, their peace charms are very effective. I heard that Qinglan Temple has also sent people out to vanquish evil and suppress demons. After we finish our business here, shall we make a trip to pay our respects?"
