"It seems to be a talisman." The little fool took out the flashlight and was about to start looking down the well. "Taoist priest, let's see if it is true."

The Taoist Master took the talisman, held it with two fingers and looked back and forth.

"It's a Taoist talisman seal," the Taoist priest folded the talisman paper in three and put it in his pocket, "but the drawing is very unprofessional and basically useless, but fortunately it's useless."

"What is this painting?" Xiaoyin came over, "What is it used for?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "The person who drew the talisman originally wanted to draw a soul-soothing charm, but he used the wrong material. The blood of animals cannot be used to draw the talisman. When the talisman is not completed, the blood will be seen, and the painting will be useless... and the painting It’s ugly, completely out of shape.”

"Then why is it so useless?" Baomu asked curiously, standing behind the Taoist leader.

"I've explained this to you before. The souls of living people are living souls, and the souls of dead people are dead souls. They are both souls. There is essentially no difference. If this talisman is completed, it will not only suppress the dead souls, but also the nearby souls. The living soul will also have an impact," the Taoist priest paused, "Theoretically this is the case."

Everyone understood what the Taoist said and nodded, but Xiaolan was the only one who was confused.

Taoist priest... how could he know such a thing...

Isn't anyone prepared to explain it to himself?

"The Taoist Master is studying this," Pineapple hugged Xiaolan's shoulders from behind, "But the Taoist Master said that the so-called talismans and spells actually have a very limited impact on reality. They are essentially seeking psychological comfort. Yes, so Xiaolan, don’t be afraid.”

Xiaolan was stunned.

Isn't this a liar? !

The Taoist priest seemed to have seen through what Xiaolan was thinking, and said slowly, "In fact, matters of life and death have no big impact on living people at all. Most of the things that people who come to us have to solve are not life and death, but fear. We just need to relieve employers’ fears and that’s it.”

啧 啧 啧, Xiao Lan thought, saying that the trick was so grand.

"Look!" Xiaoyin shouted again.

Everyone gathered around. Although Xiaolan was still in shock and couldn't extricate himself, he decided to put the overall situation first and joined in.

Xiaoyin and Little fool shined their flashlights into the well. On the four walls near the wellhead, four talisman papers that were the same as before were posted on them!

The Taoist priest's eyes lit up, he pushed forward to take off the talisman, put it in front of him and looked at it for a few times, then folded it and put it in his pocket.

"Isn't it useless?" Xiaolan asked Taoist Master Xiang, "Why do you want to put it away?"

The Taoist priest cleared his throat and said, "Save it for later."

Xiaolan reacted for a few seconds.

Liar, Xiaolan thought viciously after reacting, big liar, Taoist priest's image has completely collapsed.

"The wellhead and the stone holding the wellhead are all covered with soul-killing spells," Maple Sugar pinched her chin, "Is there anything in this well?"

Xiaoyin still held the flashlight and leaned over the edge of the well, "There seems to be nothing, and it's not too deep. There is water underneath. Is there something in the water?"

"How about we..." the little fool looked at Xiaolan, "find a petite one to go down and have a look?"

Xiaolan understood what he meant and took two steps back.

"I may not be too..."

"Why don't you go down?" Pineapple stopped in front of Xiaolan, "Let Xiaolan do everything, Xiaolan is still a child."

Xiaolan hurriedly leaned behind Pineapple, exposed her head, and nodded crazily.

"Let's put this aside for a moment," the Taoist priest stood up. "It's too dark now. We can't go down the well to take a look. Let's search other places first. If it's really suspicious, we can come in and go down the well during the day."

Baomu nodded and pointed to the small warehouse in the corner, "There is still something left to look at. Let's go take a look together. There is nothing else."

Xiaolan looked at the crumbling but sturdy small warehouse. Indeed, this was a place that would make one suspicious at first glance. The warehouse was made of wooden boards and tiles, with holes of all sizes. Long grass grew on the roof, swaying gently in the night breeze.

"It's leaking everywhere. What can this warehouse hold?"

Xiaoyin hesitated in her steps and said careless words, but her fear was already reflected in her trembling voice.

Xiaolan was also a little frightened, but she still followed the steps of others towards it.

"squeak--"

Baomu was the first to bear the brunt and gently opened the small door of the warehouse. The door panel hung down like the helpless hands of a dead man. After being pulled open, it hung next to the door frame, exposing everything in the warehouse to everyone.

The moment the door panel opened, Xiaolan shrank unconsciously behind the Taoist Priest. Before the Taoist Priest noticed, he pretended to be calm and walked out.

The light of the flashlight illuminated the corners of the small warehouse, covering everything that was damp and old in the warehouse with a fresh gray-white color.

Everyone did not walk in rashly. Instead, they crowded at the door and looked in from a distance.

The space in the warehouse is very small, and since it is well ventilated, there is no weird smell. A square wooden table blocks the middle of the warehouse, dividing the warehouse into two spaces on the left and right.

The half near the door is relatively empty, with some dried vegetables hanging on the wall, coals and wooden boards for heating are piled in the corner, and a small pile of fragments of something, like some kind of metal product, is scattered on the ground.

The other half of the space was mostly blocked by the table, and a few white papers could be vaguely seen scattered on the ground.

"Shall we go in?" The little fool looked at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist Master watched carefully, finally nodded, and stepped in first.

Xiaolan followed the Taoist priest into the warehouse and looked around curiously. The white beams of light scattered across the small space. The fear just now had completely disappeared.

"It seems to be a mobile phone." Xiaoyin walked directly towards the pile of fragments, "A broken mobile phone must not be usable."

Bright light shines on the debris, broken screen, back cover, battery... This is a smartphone that has been violently damaged, and it looks like it has been here for a while.

Baomu squatted down on one leg, pressed the camera shutter on the pile of debris, and everyone walked towards the inside of the warehouse.

"This...this is..."

Pineapple, who was walking at the front, didn't know what he saw and froze on the spot, holding the flashlight motionless.

An ominous premonition hit her heart, and Xiaolan ran two steps quickly and rushed to Pineapple.

Frowning, is this? …

"Oh my god..." Xiaoyin walked forward and exclaimed, "How could there be such a thing?"

Baomu was also stunned for a few seconds, then quickly realized what he was doing, picked up the camera and started shooting.

The rust marks that have lost their luster are still stained with blood stains. In front of them, a pair of chains are extending from the wall, separated into a pair of handcuffs and shackles, which are lying quietly on the ground.

This is a pair of shackles!
