Monument of Life and Death

   "It's so close to us!" Luo Jiutian looked at the lights of the toll booth not far away and said, "It seems that we have been going around in circles."

   "If there is no accident, the big leaf mandala should be on the side of the road," Li Muyuan said, "it should be... in that direction."

  Luo Jiutian picked up Zhuge Shou and said, "Then let's go there quickly, in case that Moses Susura appears again, it will be difficult to deal with."

   Daoist Master and Xia Hua both wanted to carry Zhou Ye back.

   "Let me do it," said the Taoist priest, "After all, the head of the Xia Hua family is a girl."

   "Go and recite Miaozhen," Xia Hua pushed the Taoist priest away, "You are so old, you still have to keep your physical strength."

"I……"

   "Sister Hua, the Taoist priest is still in that year," Luo Jiutian said, "If you say that, people will be sad."

   The Taoist priest was indeed a little sad, but his efforts did not show.

"Let's go," Li Muyuan walked at the front of course, "it's not too far, we'll be there soon... but we also have to be careful, Zhou Ye's poison was unknowingly, maybe we would also be unknowingly Poisoned under the circumstances.”

   "Then do we have any way to be immune?" Luo Jiutian asked.

   "This...maybe only Zhou Ye knew about it," Li Muyuan shrugged, "I really don't know anything about that Big Leaf Mandala."

   "At least you already know its effect," Xia Hua said. "Based on your experience, take a guess."

"Well...Usually, there are three main ways of poisoning: oral, smell and touch," Li Muyuan really guessed, "First of all - oral, it should not be, after all, we didn't eat anything, As for the smell, it is possible, but the gas is dispersive, and we should smell the gas that Zhou Ye can smell. I have reservations about this point, as for touching..."

   "Before Zhou Ye was poisoned, he never left our car, how do you touch other things?" Luo Jiutian asked.

   "Maybe..." Xia Hua said, "Something got into our car?"

   "No way," Luo Jiutian said, "No matter how powerful the Big Leaf Mandala is, it wouldn't take the initiative to get into someone else's car."

   "Maybe it didn't get in," said the priest. "Do you remember, when our car almost fell from the edge of this space, the chassis was scratched by the ground."

   "I remember," Luo Jiutian said, "I didn't look closely, but the damage to the car should have been serious at that time."

   "Yes," said the priest, "don't you think the temperature in the car has become very low since the car was scratched?"

   "After you said that, I also remembered it," said the Taoist priest, "but I thought it was because I was still in a panic, and I was so scared that I was chilled."

   "It was really cold in the car at that time." Xia Hua also said.

   "What does the Taoist mean... There is a crack in the chassis of the car, and the big leaf mandala just passed through the crack and entered our car?" Li Muyuan said.

   "It sounds a bit outrageous," Luo Jiutian said, "but... Compared with other outrageous things, it's not so outrageous."

  Li Muyuan said, "If you say this, you may be poisoned by smell and touch, so we have to focus on these two points."

   "Okay," Luo Jiutian hurriedly retracted his hands into his sleeves, "If you have a sense of smell, just hold your breath."

   "But... according to the Taoist priest's assumption, wouldn't the big leaf mandala be burnt to ashes along with our car?" Xia Hua asked, "Can we still find it?"

   "Even so, we can definitely find traces on the ground," Li Muyuan said, "Even if there is only one root system left, it is a clue."

   "That's right," Xia Hua instantly regained her motivation, and trotted with Zhou Ye on her back, "Let's go quickly, we'll be there soon."

  The men were drawn into this woman who didn't know how much power she contained. Although they were already very tired, they still tried their best to keep up with Xia Hua's pace, and they also tried their best not to show that they were trying their best.

   "I see ruts!" Xia Hua in front shouted loudly.

   Several people chased after them.

   "Sister Hua, your voice is a little lower!" Luo Jiutian grinned tiredly, "Don't bring that Moses Susura here again..."

  Xia Hua carried Zhou Ye on her shoulder with one hand and pointed to the ground under her feet with the other.

   "This should be the mark left by our car," Xia Hua said. "The front is probably where the big leaf mandala got into our car."

   Luo Jiutian squinted his eyes, trying to find something from the dark ground, "I can't see anything..."

   "Your eyes..." Lao Luo squatted on the ground and shook his head in disappointment, "Here!"

   "Ah, I saw it," Luo Jiutian finally found the rut marks on the ground, "Unfortunately, our flashlights have been burned out, and the work has become much more difficult."

   "Just be careful," Li Muyuan walked forward along the rut, "Everyone should be careful, especially smell and touch."

  Xia Hua took out a pack of tissues from his pocket, everyone blocked their noses, widened their eyes, and walked forward.

   "By the way, there should be a flashlight in the toll booth in front of you," Li Muyuan said.

   "Let's go together too." Xia Hua said.

   "No, you still bring them, it's inconvenient," Li Muyuan had already run away, "I'll be back soon."

   The remaining three looked at each other, all of them showing inexplicable smiles.

   "What are you laughing at?" Xia Hua smiled and looked at Luo Jiutian.

   "Sister Hua, aren't you laughing too," Luo Jiutian said, "You can see that the Taoist priest is also laughing."

   "I laugh because..." Xia Hua looked at Li Muyuan's clumsy running back and said, "I've never seen them doing rough work before, it's really funny..."

   "Indeed," the Taoist priest stopped smiling, looked at Luo Jiutian, who was already sweating a little, and said, "Jiutian, let's exchange."

  Luo Jiutian quickly took a half step back, "No, no, Daoist, I'm not tired."

   "The sweat on your forehead..."

   "Oh, it's okay, it's hot," Luo Jiutian shook his head, "I feel very..."

   "Be careful, Jiutian!" Xia Hua stopped Luo Jiutian, "There's a pit behind you!"

"what?"

  Luo Jiutian turned his head and looked down consciously, but he couldn't stop backing up, so Luo Jiutian shook his feet and sat down in the pit.

   The Taoist priest stretched out his hand to support Luo Jiutian, and the three of them laughed together.

   smiled, and the Taoist priest's expression suddenly became stiff.
