Several people followed the way they came to find the exit.

Mo Tingye didn't say a word along the way.

Even Ruan Xia reached into his pocket to get something to eat but was indifferent.

Ruan Xia touched Mo Tingye with his arm.

"Hey, are you scared? I'm kidding you. You two are not married."

Mo Tingye didn't even raise his head, just looking at the road under his feet.

"I know."

The voice was cold, without any warmth.

Ruan Xia broke open a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mo Tingye was defenseless, and a faint sweetness spread in his mouth.

"you……"

Ruan Xia smiled proudly.

"What am I? If I'm hungry, you must be hungry too."

The chocolate was something Mo Tingye insisted on bringing, and it was now put to great use.

Ruan Xia was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back and she had no strength to walk.

A piece of chocolate quickly restored some of her strength.

When a few people walked out of the cave, they found that the sky was shining brightly outside.

Mo Tingye took out his phone and took a look at it. His hand shook and the phone almost fell to the ground.

It's already three days later!

He handed the phone to Ruan Xia.

Ruan Xia was also stunned for a moment after seeing the date.

"No wonder I'm so hungry. I've been in there for three days."

Mo Tingye, “..."

Zhao Hu also saw it.

"It turns out the time inside is different."

As he said that, he led the other two people to bow to Ruan Xia.

"Thanks to the master's help this time, otherwise the three of us would not have been able to get out."

Ruan Xia gently twitched the corners of her mouth.

"It's fate that we met."

Zhao Hu's eyes were shining with unknown meaning.

"I dare to ask the master's name and where he studied. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to thank you."

Ruan Xia shook his head, "I don't like those red tapes, so there's no need to be so polite."

"I am the 18th generation head disciple of Tianji Sect, just call me Ruan Xia."

Zhao Hu thanked him repeatedly.

"I remember my benefactor's name."

Ruan Xia looked around.

"After staying in there for so long, I have been soaked with yin energy to some extent. Remember to get more sunshine when you go home. Let's go down the mountain as soon as possible."

Her stomach growled, and one piece of chocolate wasn't enough.

As they walked down the mountain, they talked about what happened outside the temple.

Zhao Hu was in tears.

"My younger brother is brave and diligent. What a pity."

As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain.

Although the sun was shining brightly, the road was very difficult to walk.

After finally reaching a flat ground, Ruan Xia suggested taking a rest.

Mo Tingye was so hungry that although he was relieved from death, his body was still very weak and he could not work too hard.

Xiaoxu suddenly shouted to go to the toilet. Zhao Hu was very unhappy and urged him to go to a farther place to solve the problem.

Xiaoxu carefully ran behind a big tree.

After a while, Chaozi became a little anxious and shouted twice at the big tree.

"Xiao Xu! Be careful not to finish it, you have to pee for such a long time!"

Zhao Hu also helped.

"Come back quickly, we have to continue on our way."

Both of their voices were loud and echoed.

Unfortunately, the only thing that responded to them was responses.

The two looked at each other and then looked at Ruan Xia.

"It's broken, nothing will happen."

Ruan Xia glanced at him, several people picked up branches, and Zhao Hu took a stone in his hand.

They approached the big tree with gentle steps in perfect agreement.

It was only then that Ruan Xia noticed that it was a thousand-year-old locust tree.

Ruan Xia took out a handful from her bag and stuffed something into Mo Tingye's hand.

It was the Five Emperors Money that she made with great difficulty.

Five Emperors' Money refers to the currency produced by the five Manchu emperors of the Qing Dynasty, including Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing.

She made this string with great difficulty.

At critical moments, you can defeat evil spirits and save your life.

Seeing Mo Tingye holding it tightly in his hand, Ruan Xia felt relieved.

She took the lead and carefully walked around the giant tree trunk. She was shocked to see Xiaoxu lying against the trunk, eyes wide open, as if he had seen something terrible.

"Xiao Xu! Xiao Xu! What's wrong with you!"

Chaozi exclaimed and rushed forward. He first checked Xiaoxu's breathing and found that he was out of breath.

"Xu! What's wrong with you!"

Zhao Hu felt sad and was already crying.

Ruan Xia was also stunned for a moment, and checked the surroundings. There was no dangerous atmosphere.

At this moment, Mo Tingye beside him spoke.

"Wait a moment."

He took a step forward, frowning and looking at Xiaoxu.

His face became more and more solemn.

"Ruan Xia, look at his face. The swelling is so serious and his abdomen is obviously bulging. This is a typical phenomenon of giantism after death."

Ruan Xia didn't understand the concept of giants, but she knew that hot weather would cause corpses to rot and swell, just like Xiao Xu in front of her.

"Looking at it this way, he has been dead for at least three days."

Zhao Hu and Chaozi said in unison, “Impossible!"

"We have been together for the past three days. Even if we got separated for a while, we quickly reunited. You all saw it."

"He was talking to us just now. How could he have been dead for three days? Was he poisoned?"

Ruan Xia shook his head.

"No, poisoning doesn't look like this."

Xiaoxu has two possibilities.

"Currently, it seems that Xiaoxu may have been killed by another evil spirit. That evil spirit sucked his soul, causing him to accelerate his corruption and become like this."

Chaozi immediately denied her guess.

"If there was something evil, why was everything okay all the way? Why didn't you take action against us?"

Ruan Xia thought for a few seconds.

"Then there is only another possibility. Xiaoxu died here three days ago, but his soul had just left his body and he didn't know he was dead. He relied entirely on one obsession to sustain him for so long."

Zhao Hu and Chaozi looked at each other with both fear and sadness.

Then Zhao Hu's eyes changed, and he looked at Ruan Xia with a suspicious expression.

"You said you are a Taoist priest, so you must know magic, right?"

Ruan Xia nodded without hesitation.

"That's natural."

Zhao Hu and Chaozi took two steps back, keeping their distance from Ruan Xia.

"How did you get to the mountain?"

The tone seemed to be interrogating.

Ruan Xia stood straight and showed no fear.

"After seeing the flares you set off, we are here to have fun."

Zhao Hu's eyes became even weirder.

"You are a Taoist priest, then who is he?"

Zhao Hu took out a dagger from somewhere and pointed it at Mo Tingye.

Ruan Xia's eyes lit up and he stared at the pendant at the end of the dagger, which was half a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was warm and clean, exuding an aura that made her tremble all over.

That's her jade pendant!

Before Ruan Xia had time to ask, Zhao Hu shook his dagger at Mo Tingye.

"Say it!"

Mo Tingye was not afraid in the face of danger. He reached into his pocket and found no business card.

I had to spread my hands.

"I am a good person."

Seeing that he could not prove his identity, Zhao Hu said to Chaozi, “These two people are very suspicious."

"Why were they able to find the temple and enter safely? We thought we had put in a lot of effort in the first place."

Ruan Xia thought to herself, it's because you are incompetent, why is this so difficult?

Chaozi glanced at Ruan Xia, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"Brother Hu, do you think Xiaoxu was harmed by her?"

Zhao Hu nodded.

"These two people are working together, they must have harmed Xiaoxu!"

Chaozi obviously disagrees.

"But she just tried her best to rescue us."

"Could it be that she also knows about Ye Mingzhu?"
