Zhao Kai and others were surrounded by a bunch of servants. They had nowhere to run and their faces were ashen.
"Catch them, arrest them all, and use them to delay time tonight."
The Taoist priest seemed to have made up his mind and directly ordered his servants to arrest all these people. His decision did not even require the approval of his wife. They are still guests in the house.
"You can't arrest us. We are guests. Is this how you treat guests?"
A few people were making a fuss and jumping up and down to no avail. The expressionless servants were surprisingly strong and subdued them easily. Brother Cui, who seemed to be the strongest, was among them. There was no strength in his hands to fight back, and he was tied tightly.
The servants took them to the woodshed and locked them up. They also thoughtfully locked the door with a huge iron chain. Even if they broke free from the rope, they would not be able to escape from the woodshed. The windows were covered with wooden boards. The son was nailed to death.
After the Taoist priest had several people tied up, he immediately went to find his wife to discuss countermeasures. This was a big trouble and he couldn't handle it alone.
"No, that girl is already dead. The seventh soul-suppressing nail was not driven in. She will definitely come back to seek revenge on us tonight."
The lady sneered when she heard this, and knocked the tea on the table to the floor with her hand, causing the porcelain fragments to fly everywhere.
"Oh, I can make this dead girl look like that half-dead while she is alive. Could it be that I am afraid of her if she is dead? My son is already dead. I am not afraid of anything. At worst, we will die together."
The Taoist priest is actually not helpless. In fact, his master is not a decent sect, but an evil cultivator that everyone shouts to beat. This sect was passed down to him and left only one treasure, a pair of embroidered shoes refined with ghost energy. This is just a mere treasure. The devil is out of the question.
If you want to ask why there is only one treasure left, it is because all the other good things were taken away by his uncle and uncle, leaving only a pair of embroidered shoes for his master, who passed them on to him.
The purpose of these embroidered shoes is to find a way to put them on Li Gui's feet. The embroidered shoes will absorb her resentment and ghost energy, and will not break away until she is sucked dry.
There is also a function. The person who dies wearing this embroidered shoe can use all the magic power of this embroidered shoe. Of course, there are disadvantages. This thing can only be used for seven days. After seven days, it will absorb the user's ghost.
His uncle and uncle probably thought this thing was useless. After all, the way to use this thing is that it must be put on the feet. Their men can't use it, and they have to die to use it. It is very troublesome to wear it for the devil, so why not Other treasures are easy.
He actually fell in love with this lady. He had always wanted to use her to continue refining the embroidered shoes when he was with her. She was born with a Yin sign, so it would be most suitable for her to come to sacrifice. When the embroidered shoes become more beautiful, If it is stronger, he will extract the ghost energy inside and refine it into the Corpse King for him to drive. With the Corpse King in hand, he will not be afraid of anyone.
The reason why he didn't take action was because he was interested in her wealth. She promised that as long as he helped her to make that little bitch hoof live forever, she would give him all her wealth. She didn't want to live anyway, and she had this property. Don't care at all.
Bai Qianwu slept until noon. When she woke up, the other three people were not awake yet. Liu Hongxu was still keeping vigil stupidly. He didn't know when to wake up the others to change shifts with him.
"Come here and sleep, otherwise you won't be energetic at night."
Bai Qianwu waved to him. Seeing his hesitation, she couldn't help but feel that he was a little too naive. She always slept lightly when sleeping in strange places. She heard what they said clearly. After sleeping for such a long time, he It is indeed a bit too stupid and naive to keep guard for such a long time, and I don't know how to be lazy at all.
Others also woke up one after another. Seeing that it was already bright outside, Liu Hongxu, who looked at the black eyes, was also a little embarrassed. He was supposed to be changing shifts, but they all fell asleep and there was no one to change shifts with him.
Zhao Mi patted the bed and looked apologetic. They could all see that his IQ was different from ordinary people, and they were embarrassed to bully him because he was bullied too harshly.
The other people also agreed with Zhao Mi. Seeing everyone saying this, Liu Hongxu scratched his head and sat on the edge of the bed, asking tentatively.
"Then I really fall asleep."
"Sleep, sleep."
Zhao Mi tucked Liu Hongxu's feet thoughtfully, and then asked everyone to keep their voices down so as not to disturb him while sleeping.
Only then did other people realize that there were only five of them in the room, and Zhao Kai and the others were not there. They didn't know whether they didn't come back last night or went to sleep in another room.
Cheng Yu tiptoed and gestured to go out, saying that being here would affect his sleep.
Several people walked out of the room obediently, leaving Liu Hongxu sleeping alone in the room.
"It's daytime now. There shouldn't be any danger. Let's split up and see if they are in other rooms. If they are not there, we will go out to look for them."
The few people agreed simply, and they all knew very well that if something happened to Zhao Kai and the others on the first day, half of the team would be missing, and their chances of going out would be even slimmer.
Zhao Mi was timid and took the initiative to grab Bai Qianwu's clothes, his face turned a little pale.
"How about the two of us checking together? I'm scared alone."
It wasn't a lot of work for five people to check nine rooms. They opened the door and called out to know if anyone was inside. Seeing that Zhao Mi's face turned pale, Bai Qianwu nodded and agreed to her request.
After checking, there was no one in all nine rooms. Those people seemed to have stayed out all night, and everyone looked bad, which meant that they were in danger.
"Let's search separately. Not only looking for people, but also looking for clues. It's too slow to work together. It's more efficient to separate."
"no."
Bai Qianwu was rejected by Zhao Mi as soon as she finished speaking. She didn't dare to go alone. She was most afraid of ghosts. Although it was the time of day when the Yang energy was the strongest, this was the otherworld. Who knew what terrible things would happen. things.
"Cheng Yu, why don't I look for her with you? I'm scared to be alone, and I don't think she's reliable."
Zhao Mi stood next to Cheng Yu and glanced at Bai Qianwu with his eyes as he spoke, his face full of distrust.
Bai Qianwu shrugged, turned around and left without paying attention to them. She felt that these people would be a hindrance.
When Cheng Yu saw her leaving, he immediately called her. He was too embarrassed to say her nickname. He rolled the words around in his mouth and watched her go away before he blurted it out.
"Well, who is that? Flowers are blooming and wealth is coming. It's dangerous here, so let's go together."
What responded to him was Bai Qianwu's back without looking back.
In the daytime, the house still looked eerie and terrifying. There was not a single servant in the courtyard. Bai Qianwu wandered around in the courtyard and walked directly into a courtyard that looked more luxurious and elegant.
