91: Master's Voice

Master's Voice

"Don't be scared, Second Sister is here."1

Lu Sheng consoled the two children in a low voice. Then, when no one was looking, she secretly pasted a Soundproof Talisman on the curtain of the carriage.

As more people gathered, her carriage was moving very slowly.

Usually, it would take at most eight minutes to travel from the market to the town gate. However, it had been more than fifteen minutes now but they had yet to arrive.

When they finally exited town, Lu Sheng saw a group of people surrounding the lake. Some were crying while others were sighing.

When she rode past this crowd, she deliberately chose a shady spot to stop the carriage. She scanned her surroundings but did not find any souls there.

In a cool place not far away, two wandering souls were hiding from the sun. However, they were both men.

She took out her Nurturing Talisman and closed her eyes to mumble. After a while, five black figures appeared in front of her.

All of them were holding on to red umbrellas and wearing red clothes. There were both men and women.

They were the black clouds that scared Lu Chuan and the rest that day.

Lu Sheng had burned these clothes for them and specially placed them into the Nurturing Talisman.

After spending more than a month in the Nurturing Talisman, the black aura on their bodies had dissipated. Their faces from their previous lives were also revealed.

Lu Sheng was a looks person. She had specially chosen these souls and placed them in the same talisman. All of them were handsome men and beautiful women.

"Master, please provide your instructions!"

Three men and two women floated in front of her. Their faces were filled with respect.

Lu Sheng's gaze swept across the few people, no, the souls. She instructed in a low voice, "Help me find out where the soul of that girl lying by the lake is. Bring her back after you've found her."

"Yes!"

As soon as the souls left, Lu Sheng heard a shrill voice.

She lifted her eyes and saw a priest performing a ritual for those two wandering souls.

Lu Sheng smiled and rode the carriage away.

However, not long after she left, a man suddenly walked out of the crowd. He stared at her departing horse carriage and seemed to be in deep thoughts.

The man held a horsetail whisk and wore a bamboo hat. Half of his exposed hair was silver.

That face under the bamboo hat had well-defined facial features. He was extraordinarily handsome.

"Was that Shenger?"

The man mumbled and frowned before walking into town.

As for Lu Sheng, who was already far away, she suddenly reined in her horse and turned back.

However, she saw no one special other than the surrounding spectators.

"Weird!"

Lu Sheng pursed her lips, her face full of confusion.

She seemed to have heard her master calling her.

She shook her head and mocked herself. Why would her master be here?

His master wouldn't have died and should still be alive in the 2020s.

She must have hallucinated because she missed her master too much.

She shook her head and sighed softly. Then, she tore the Soundproof Talisman off the curtain and continued riding the carriage.

When she reached the village, she saw a few women alight from an oxcart. Grandma Ge and Grandma Song were among them.

"Lu Sheng, you're back too?"

When the two elders saw her, a smile appeared on their gloomy faces.

"Lu Sheng, you came back late. I heard someone died by the lake outside town. Is that true?" a middle-aged woman asked.

Lu Sheng nodded. "Yes."

"Oh, this is too scary!"

The woman patted her chest and said, "When we came back just now, we saw someone standing guard there. However, we didn't dare to ask. It was your Uncle Gao who asked that we found out."

Uncle Gao was the coachman who pulled their oxcart just now.

Lu Sheng smiled and spoke to them before heading home.
