Chapter 72 The Gathering Yin Talisman in the Basement
Shen Yijin had been paying attention to the movements in the kitchen. When she heard the noise, she went to check immediately: "What's wrong?"
Seeing the mess in the kitchen and the obvious signs of burning next to the stove, Shen Yijin was silent for a rare time.
Bei Shitao followed Shen Yijin and almost fainted when she saw the situation in the kitchen: "Who destroyed my kitchen!"
Not only does the villa have many rooms and a large area, but even the square footage of the kitchen is almost as large as that of a small bedroom in an ordinary family.
It would cost a lot of money to renovate such a big kitchen.
Most of Bei Shitao's money is now used to maintain Mao Xiayao's studio. If she were asked to spend money to renovate the kitchen, she would be very painful.
Chen Yijin felt more distressed than Bei Shitao, and grabbed the bearded man and was about to hit him.
“No, no, no, I really didn’t mean it. I just wanted to help…” The bearded man was not happy at first when he was dragged over by the female ghosts to work, but later he thought that working by himself could please Shen Yijin, so he worked more actively than anyone else.
It's just that your strength was not used in the right place, and your good intentions led to bad results.
The female ghosts were also helpless about this: "Master, he is too stupid. We have taught him how to wash vegetables many times, but he just can't learn it. That's fine, but he always wants to challenge higher difficulties. No matter how we stop him, it's useless."
The kitchen exploded when the bearded man made an operating error while steaming rice in the rice cooker.
Nowadays, electrical appliances are equipped with safety devices, which will trip before any operation that may cause an accident. I don’t know how the bearded guy did it, but the rice cooker could explode after it tripped.
Shen Yijin looked the bearded man up and down. The bearded man's soul was not very solid, but there were no major problems otherwise.
This was not the first time that she had detained a living soul by her side. It seemed that the bearded man was the first one whose living soul became even less intelligent after leaving his body.
"How are you feeling recently? Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Yijin asked.
The bearded man glanced at Chen Yijin nervously, protecting his head and saying carefully: "My head was aching the past few days, but it's fine these days. Maybe I haven't adapted to it in the past few days."
It is normal to feel uncomfortable when suddenly turning from a human into a ghost.
The female ghosts also said: "We were like this when we first became ghosts, but it got better later. This should have nothing to do with him blowing up the kitchen, right?"
Chen Yijin got a headache when she heard the words "fry the kitchen". She pulled her beard and looked carefully again, feeling a little worried: "Where do you live now? Take me to see."
Bei Shitao heard that there might be some hidden story behind the bearded man's mess in the kitchen, so she wanted to go with him too, because she wanted to know why she wasted her money.
The female ghosts have been living in the basement recently, where they cannot see the sun during the day and feel safe there.
As soon as she stepped into the basement, the cold air seemed to penetrate into her bones. Bei Shitao hugged Chen Yijin's arms tightly. If possible, she wanted to get into Chen Yijin's arms.
It's normal for the basement to be cold, but the temperature here is so low that it exceeds the coldness of a normal basement.
"Taozi, have you been to the basement before?" Shen Yijin stroked Bei Shitao's head and asked softly.
Bei Shitao shook her head. "I came here once when I first moved in. I put down some things I didn't use often and left. I didn't take a close look at what was going on inside."
Shen Yijin had the female ghosts dismantle the surveillance cameras that Scarface and his men had installed in the villa. She had never been to the basement in person.
Now that she had come down, she realized that this place was not simple.
The corners were covered with Yin-gathering talismans, a doll with a sealed evil spirit was hidden in the pile of miscellaneous items, and patterns with special meanings were drawn on the floor...
No matter how Shen Yijin looked at it, she felt that this place was very suitable for transformation into a haunted house—it had plenty of horror elements, and even no NPCs needed to be hired extra.
"That rag doll was thrown over by that group of people last time, and the other things were there before." The female ghosts saw Shen Yijin's eyes fall on the doll and explained to her timidly.
The doll was filled with a lot of negative energy. The female ghosts were not very skilled in Taoism and did not sense that there was an evil spirit sealed inside it. They just treated it as an ordinary rag doll and guessed that it might have been contaminated with a lot of negative energy somewhere else before being thrown into the basement.
Therefore, they didn’t tell Shen Yijin that there was a rag doll in the basement.
Chen Yijin walked to the corner and tore off a Yin Gathering Talisman: "Did you put it on when you first became a ghost?"
The female ghosts thought about it, and one of them said, "Maybe it was even earlier. I was hiding in the basement when I was discovered, and these talismans were already pasted on the wall at that time."
They don’t think it’s a big deal when they are alive, but after becoming ghosts, the Yin Gathering Talisman becomes a must-have item for them at home.
If there was no Yin Gathering Talisman, the formation in the villa that could purify Yin and resentment would have disappeared before Chen Yijin moved in.
Shen Yijin suddenly realized that it seemed that someone had planned for the female ghosts to become ghosts after their death.
But since we turn them into ghosts, and at the same time set up formations to purify their resentment and negative energy, isn't this contradictory?
Without the resentment and negative energy, the female ghosts would be shattered.
The bearded man knew about the doll throwing incident. He had just made a mistake and was now eager to show off and make amends in front of Shen Yijin: "I know why they put the dolls in the basement! I overheard them talking. It seems that the organization's previous experiment was sabotaged, and they want to do another experiment here."
Shen Yijin frowned when she heard that.
If I'm not mistaken, the previous experiment should be the one about the face ghost, which devours people's emotions.
There are a large number of Yin Gathering Talismans here, which should be able to help the evil ghosts break through the seal quickly.
Once the evil ghost comes out, this villa will become a haunted house.
As Shen Yijin thought about it, he tore up other Yin Gathering Talismans.
She tore off two pieces, and heard the ghost girls begging: "Master, can you leave this Yin Gathering Talisman for us? Without it, our heads will hurt."
Not only the female ghosts, but the bearded man also covered his head, almost rolling on the ground in pain.
Shen Yijin was stunned. After the female ghosts were subdued by her, no matter how much resentment they had, she could control their actions.
She had already removed the purification formation in the villa.
Logically speaking, the presence or absence of these Yin Gathering Talismans would not have much impact on the female ghosts, but she only destroyed three Yin Gathering Talismans and the female ghosts started to have a headache.
Something is wrong.
Chen Yijin lowered her head and looked carefully at the Yin Gathering Talisman in her hand, and found a clue.
This Yin Gathering Talisman was actually made of bone powder mixed with the blood of the talisman maker.
This method of making talismans is extremely insidious. If the talisman paper is destroyed by someone, the talisman maker will suffer extremely severe backlash.
Therefore, even in the Xuanling Realm, this method of making talismans is forbidden to use, and righteous cultivators will not touch it.
