Wen Shaoan frowned. He knew that Linglan liked to keep ghosts, and there were countless corpses built into the two walls of the basement.
But this is not the right way, and even that person disliked it. Linglan never brought these things to the forefront.
These ghosts, except for the occasional outings by Suzuran, are usually trapped in the basement.
This puppet is most likely possessed by a vengeful ghost, who probably finished toying with Xie Xiao and is now planning to deal with him.
Without hesitation, Wen Shaoan threw over a mid-level exorcism talisman. There was no need to keep disobedient things around.
These vengeful spirits had previously caused a disturbance, almost overwhelming Linglan. It was only after he activated the great formation that they were forced back into the walls.
"Get out of the way!" Wen Shaoan said coldly.
He never expected the other party would dare to disobey when he used the exorcism talisman.
However, the puppet didn't even blink. The exorcism talisman spontaneously combusted before it even hit the puppet and quickly burned to ashes.
Wen Shaoan was slightly startled and stopped in his tracks. He never expected that this thing would be immune to exorcism talismans!
That's a mid-level exorcism talisman! Ordinary vengeful ghosts would have their skin burned off if they touched it, but this thing leaves them completely unharmed!
How could that be?
Wen Shaoan was incredulous. His leisurely steps became disordered, and he took out a few more exorcism talismans and threw them over.
There was still no response.
As time went by, the puppet got closer and closer to him.
Wen Shaoan asked in a trembling voice, "What exactly are you?"
The puppet flicked its sleeve and looked at him coldly, then clicked forward and took another step.
Wen Shaoan finally couldn't withstand the pressure anymore. He didn't care about Xie Xiao anymore and turned around to run back the way he came.
The puppet stopped, as if too lazy to chase after it. It blinked its dark eyes, and the previously quiet wall suddenly stirred.
The white walls seemed to come alive, with human faces and limbs bulging out on them, and those faces chased after Wen Shaoan in the direction he had left, like a tide.
The wall here is completely empty.
The door behind it creaked open, and Mingzhuo led Xie Xiao out.
Xie Xiao looked at the person in front of her, still somewhat incredulous, "Zhuozhuo, what brings you here?"
A few minutes ago, when Xie Xiao was pulled back, she thought she was doomed.
But then she realized that although the door felt cold to the touch, the hand that grabbed her was warm, clearly belonging to a living person!
After being pulled inside, she saw Ming Zhuo smiling at her, with Gu Xu standing beside him.
The first thought that popped into Xie Xiao's mind was to quickly grab onto Ming Zhuo's coattails!
She was almost in tears; her support had finally arrived!
"Zhuozhuo, there are ghosts!" Xie Xiao immediately warned Mingzhuo, "There are ghosts on the outside wall, I see them, hurry up and kill them!"
How could she not be alert and observant when running away in a place like this? That's why she realized there was something wrong with the walls!
I was just too scared, so I forced myself not to look and pretended not to see it.
Mingzhuo put a finger to his lips to signal her to be quiet, then pointed around.
Xie Xiao then realized that the room... looked like it had been ransacked.
The room was filled with many burial jars, which Xie Xiao had seen during a visit to a museum and knew were used for burial.
But now all those soul bottles have been smashed, leaving a mess everywhere.
The ghosts in the walls kept trying to drive her into this room, and she guessed that there was something very bad in this room, probably in those soul bottles.
However, Mingzhuo has now taken care of all those things.
——
Gu Xu followed the two out and touched the wall.
The walls, which had previously seemed to come alive, have now returned to their cold, hard state, with only the icy touch of cement and lime.
But he knew that the ghosts had left, but the corpses were still embedded in the walls, and they would need to be dug out and cleaned one by one.
Mingzhuo casually replied, "I'm here to rescue you, and also to escort some people to their funerals."
Xie Xiao pointed to the wall, and Ming Zhuo shook his head. "Don't worry, these ghosts didn't come here willingly. They were trapped here and transformed into vengeful spirits. They were also tormented after death and hate their masters. Now it's our turn to fight back."
Xie Xiao was a little scared at first, but when she thought that Ming Zhuo was backing her up, she immediately regained her courage.
Besides, the pain from those blows that woman hit her still hurts; how can she not get revenge?
Xie Xiaozhen grew angrier the more she thought about it. That old hag had gone to such lengths! Just wait, I'm going to deal with her right now!
The puppet led the way, its figure disappearing like a ghost at the end of the corridor.
Xie Xiao held the talisman given to him by Ming Zhuo, looking proud and confident.
Gu Xu walked at the back, still holding a bronze mirror in his hand.
A bronze mirror can cover up yin energy, and of course, it can also cover up his aura so that he won't be detected by ghosts and monsters.
Otherwise, given his immune-to-evil constitution, even if he doesn't harm these vengeful spirits, he will make them feel extremely uncomfortable, and their souls will be burned.
Because of this bronze mirror, he also had the opportunity to go on missions with Mingzhuo, and experience the dangers, excitement, and grandeur of those missions.
Gu Xu thought this was fine too.
——
Hearing the hurried footsteps and sensing the restlessness of the ghost servant, Linglan smiled.
She waited patiently for the little girl to run back in a disheveled state, only to find that it was a panicked Wen Shaoan who entered.
Linglan was somewhat taken aback: "How come it's you?"
Wen Shaoan was also taken aback. Could it be that it was the lily of the valley that made them attack people?
