At the moment of life and death, Li Huaiyun unfolded the scroll, hoping that this thing could help him.
A golden light flashed from the scroll, and then the golden light dispersed the surrounding darkness. The talisman paper that fell on the ground began to burn, and then burned into ashes and scattered around.
Li Huaiyun breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of suffocation had disappeared. After escaping, he realized that his martial arts skills were still too low.
It seems that I must upgrade my realm to the realm of refining gods as soon as possible, so that I can defend myself against such spiritual attacks in the future.
If there hadn't been the scroll sent by Mu Yuan, I would probably have to explain this here today!
He and A Tian returned to the small house consciously, but after experiencing the previous fright, neither of them were in a good mental state.
Especially A Tian, who was waving his sword indiscriminately and was too frightened. His condition looked quite weak.
"What happened to us just now?" A Tian gasped softly, the previous scene still lingering in his mind.
"I ran into a trap of Taoism's yin arts! Fortunately, there is a scroll, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."
A Tian retracted his saber and luckily adjusted his physical condition, "It's too dangerous!"
"Yes! After this battle, it seems that we must step up our practice and strive to enter the realm of refining gods as soon as possible!"
Ah Yun hummed, he was still one step away from the realm of refining gods and needed more effort.
Li Huaiyun wanted to put away the scroll, but found that a grid of black lines slowly appeared on the originally blank page.
After a while, many lines of words appeared in the grid, which recorded the things that had just been captured.
The vengeful spirit has been collected. Remarks: The person encountered injustice during his lifetime and died with a lot of grievances accumulated. His ghost lingers after his death. Because his grievances were too great, he turned into a ghost and caused trouble, and did not reincarnate.
Accumulating a large number of resentful spirits, these wronged souls can be refined into soul pills, which can further improve one's own soul.
Li Huaiyun flipped through the scroll. This thing was almost like an illustrated book.
received! Can I let it go? He tried to put his finger on the scroll and clicked lightly, "Put it down!"
The scroll was immediately surrounded by green light, and then the innocent souls from before slowly appeared on the ground in front.
When A Tian saw this scene, his face immediately darkened. He pulled out his saber again and said, "Here we go again!"
Li Huaiyun immediately comforted him, "Don't be excited, Ah Tian, I summoned these innocent souls! I just wanted to ask what happened here!"
"Ah! Did you summon it?" A Tian glanced at the scroll in Li Huaiyun's hand. He remembered that when he was in Qianji Pavilion, it was Captain Mu Yuan who took it out to him.
He took a look at the equipment he took from Qianji Pavilion. At this moment, he felt that the things he had chosen in Qianji Pavilion were no longer so good.
After Li Huaiyun's inquiries, he learned that these women were the women who had disappeared in Kyoto in recent times.
A monster used the art of illusion to lure them here and imprison them.
Then there are people here who slowly torture them. In addition to satisfying their own selfish desires, they also perform various kinds of abuse. Many people cannot bear the pain and die from the pain.
These women come from all walks of life in Kyoto, and there are even female relatives of second-rank officials.
And this scumbag was none other than the Ministry of War official Liu Bing. Those who died were buried directly in the yard.
No wonder my aunt said before that many women have disappeared inexplicably during this period. It seems that it must be related to Liu Bing. The fox demon must be responsible for using the magic of illusion to deceive women!
Li Huaiyun couldn't figure out what this fox demon wanted from Liu Bing. Why would you arrest those women to satisfy this man's perverted desires?
He looked at the resentful ghosts who were innocently killed by the official, and his heart was inexplicably filled with anger. These people originally had their own happy lives, but because of this official's selfish desires, they became lonely ghosts!
If these resentful spirits can refine soul pills, they will definitely make great progress in their martial arts cultivation.
But Li Huaiyun didn't want to do this. He didn't want these resentful spirits who died in vain to suffer again. Saving them was what he wanted to do most at this moment.
Li Huaiyun said to the batch of scattered resentful spirits, "I will find a time to have your bones dug out, and then I will have someone come and save you! I just hope that you will not encounter such a thing again in your next life!"
"Thank you, sir!" The resentful spirits responded with grateful voices and bent down to salute.
Being thanked by so many female ghosts, am I considered the number one person in the Great Zhou Dynasty in ancient and modern times?
Li Huaiyun took back the resentful spirits into the scroll. He and A Tian walked out of the house and saw that the osmanthus tree in the yard was withering. It did not emit any fragrance, but had a rotting smell.
A Tian covered his nose, "This smells so bad!"
Li Huaiyun pointed to the mound on the other side, "The bodies of those women must have been buried in that place. When you go back, tell Sikyong to send someone to dig out the bodies and bury them elsewhere."
A Tian nodded, "Yeah! Those wronged souls really need to be saved," he then asked, "Then let's go back and report the matter to Sikyong now?"
"No! Wait a minute, I want to search the house again!"
"Ah!" A Tian didn't quite understand why he continued, "Didn't we search it?"
"There is still a doubt that needs to be confirmed!" Li Huaiyun turned around and returned to the house.
A Tian was stunned for a moment at the door of the house. He actually didn't want to go back to the house. After all, he had been frightened too much here, but this seemed too timid for a monster hunter like him.
He bravely walked into the house and saw Li Huaiyun beside the wooden bed, turning over the quilt, looking for something.
A Tian stepped forward and said, "Did you find it?"
"No! There's nothing. I even want to dig three feet into the ground here." Li Huaiyun said.
"What exactly are you looking for?"
Li Huaiyun explained, "This house has a very dark atmosphere because many women who were lured here were buried and their bodies were buried here!"
"Think about it, in a place like this, why has the Demon Slayer Division never discovered that the souls of those who died unjustly have turned into evil ghosts!"
"Don't you think it's strange?"
After Li Huaiyun's explanation, A Tian also noticed the problem, "Yes! Could it be that there is something suppressing these evil spirits?"
"That's right! Just like the official's house, there are monsters living there, but you can't feel the monster energy at all outside. In other words, there is something there that blocks the yin energy and monster energy."
A Tian nodded slightly and gave a thumbs up to Li Huaiyun, "I think this speculation is very close to the truth!"
Li Huaiyun laughed lightly and continued, "This is why the thief in the water prison must die, not only because of what he saw, but also because his body has already been contaminated with some evil spirits, and these evil spirits The anger is enough for the Demon Slayer Division to trace the source."
A Tian said, "But what is that thing? I searched here and couldn't find it. Could it be hidden somewhere else?"
"For example, Fengxin Tower! Didn't someone say before that the fox demon returned to Fengxin Tower?"
Li Huaiyun said doubtfully, "I went back to Fengxin Tower first, and then back to this house. Obviously, there must be some purpose for returning to Fengxin Tower this time."
"Is it possible that someone met him on the way?"
"That shouldn't be possible. This fox demon has been tracked all the time, so he had to hide his things on the way, so there is nothing here."
"This is the only explanation that makes sense. The fox demon will go to Fengxin Tower on the way!"
Li Huaiyun looked outside, shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face, "Let's go! Let's go to Fengxin Tower!"
"Now?" When A Tian heard the name, he immediately cheered up. He was quite frugal. Even if he was scolded, he would be patient and try not to argue with others.
Now that he can go to Fengxin Building to sweep the floor at work, that's not exactly what he wants.
Li Huaiyun walked to the door of the house and waved, "Of course! If we meet in the evening, I will ask for cashier taels."
A Tian also had a smile on his face, looking expectant.
"That fox demon is Snow Master's maid, so the focus here must be on Snow Master. I have never visited Jiaofangsi during the day!"
"They should be resting at this time!" A Tian said, "We'd better go and report the situation first!"
"No! It's a waste of time to go back and forth!" Li Huaiyun walked outside, "So what if it's broad daylight? Besides, we are going to investigate the case, not to do something shameless!"
A Tian scratched his head in embarrassment, "Yes! Yes!"
He had only heard people talk about it before, but he suddenly became a little nervous when he really wanted to go there. Normally, he would not go to a place like Jiaofangsi, which cost a lot of money. At most, he would just go to some ordinary Goulan.
Walking on the street to Fengxin Tower, A Tian still felt a lot of excitement in his heart. He also wanted to know what happened to Li Huaiyun on the top floor of Bailu Tower last night.
"Good luck! It must have been very comfortable to be on the top floor last night, enjoying the service of two oirans, right?"
"What? What details do you want to know?"
"I just want to know the characteristics of the two courtesans, what hobbies they have, or what kind of posture is comfortable for them to serve."
Li Huaiyun suddenly frowned and pointed at A Tian, "Ah! You are not pure! Didn't you say that you are about to get married? Don't you want to know this?"
"All men like this!"
"Aren't you afraid that Fang Yuan of yours will have any objections?"
"Normally I don't say this in front of her," A Tian responded, "It's just that sometimes when I chat with other people, I have more to talk about!"
"I think you just want to pretend to be X!"
A Tian showed an awkward smile and nodded repeatedly.
Li Huaiyun smiled and said, "Okay, let me just say a few words!"
When they arrived at the Fengxin Building, the Jiaofangsi had not yet opened for business and the door was closed. They could only enter through the back door.
The people in the building saw the two of them coming in without saying a word. They knew by looking at their clothes that they were not easy to mess with, so they went directly to find the madam.
A graceful, slightly older woman swayed her plump hips and shook her beauty fan. She walked up and looked at them, "You two gentlemen, Fengxin Tower hasn't started yet..."
After she walked in, she saw the face of the man in front of her clearly and blurted out, "Isn't this Mr. Li?"
After saying that, she immediately stepped forward and walked around Li Huaiyun with great attentiveness, gently flicking her fan in front of him from time to time.
At Bailu Tower, she opened the betting port. As a result, Yilan lost. The bet this time alone was already as high as a thousand taels. With a poem, the snow master was praised even higher. For a time, Fengxin The reputation of the building skyrocketed.
When meeting such a noble person, it is difficult not to be attentive.
"A distinguished guest is coming, man, hurry up and let the girls..."
