Sister Bai immediately frowned and said, "Alright then, you keep memorizing. Only after you understand how many strange and unusual claw spirits exist in this world and their characteristics can you use the fastest and most convenient method to subdue them. Okay, I'll go check 2442 again to see if I find anything!"
Qian Xiaohao nodded. He wouldn't encounter any claw spirits or anything like that during the day. Bai Jie was just trying to find out what secrets were still hidden in the place where that evil cultivator lived.
When Sister Bai went out, she ran into Uncle You and talked to him. This time, he finally didn't stop her.
Upon arriving at 2442, Sister Bai first went to the storage room on the first floor. Apart from the open coffin, there was nothing else in the storage room. Sister Bai looked around the coffin, but finding nothing unusual, she began to go upstairs.
The stairs were made of wooden planks, creaking underfoot. Despite it being broad daylight, the house still had a chilly atmosphere. Moreover, the house was kept out of direct sunlight, so Xiao Zhen naturally drifted out, but she dared not walk any further ahead.
Upon reaching the top floor, Sister Bai was also astonished by what she saw. The second floor was set up like a Taoist temple, but on one of the altars were rows of jars, each containing something that was soaking in something!
As Sister Bai approached and took a closer look, she immediately cursed, "This is utterly outrageous!"
Although Sister Bai was prone to temper tantrums, they were usually just words. She rarely got truly angry, but at this moment, she was genuinely furious. Inside those glass jars were human organs, and she even saw a head that was completely disfigured!
This isn't from just one person; it's possible that someone's heart, liver, and lungs were removed from another. The resentment of these dead is used to refine the power of Little Claw!
And these people were very likely those he personally brewed and braised; setting up such a temple was not something that could be done in a day or two!
Sister Bai let out a heavy breath, calming herself down slightly. Seeing the evil statue placed in the very center, she immediately flicked her wrist, and the statue's head fell off!
But when the head fell off, a series of cracking sounds rang out!
Chapter 44 Red Eyes!
The sudden cracking sound made Sister Bai instinctively take a step back, as did Xiao Zhen. Actually, she wasn't completely clueless; it was just that when she realized Sister Bai was even more powerful, she felt it was better to obediently follow behind her.
Women, whether human or claw, will always have a dependency!
However, the clicking sound was just the sound of a mechanism. Seeing a door slowly opening behind the Buddha statue, Sister Bai stared intently.
The door opened very slowly, taking a full ten seconds. But when it opened, Sister Bai was speechless—there was a door behind the door!
However, one of the doors inside was locked, and Sister Bai saw that there was only one small hole on the entire door.
"Brother Bai, this place is so strange, I'm scared!" Xiao Zhen suddenly hugged Bai Jie's arm. Bai Jie smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Zhen, what are you afraid of, you little girl!"
Mao Xiaozhen immediately pouted and said, "So what if I'm scared? Can't claws be scared too? Humph!"
"Okay, then you hide behind me and I'll go see what's inside!" Sister Bai said, moving closer to the door.
Sister Bai didn't have the key, but she could easily break the lock with a sword. However, there was a hole in the door, and he thought it best to check what was inside first, otherwise, it wouldn't be good if some monster suddenly jumped out and scared Xiao Zhen.
Reaching the door, Sister Bai took a deep breath, closed her left eye, and peered through the small hole with her right. However, when she looked inside, she only saw an empty house.
Empty?
Sister Bai was a little skeptical; setting up such a mechanism just to leave room for something seemed like such a waste. But Xiao Zhen became interested and quickly asked, "Brother Bai, what's inside?"
There's nothing there.
"Nothing at all? Sister Bai, you must be lying to me. Go away... let me see!" Xiao Zhen became impatient. Sister Bai smiled helplessly and walked to the side to let Xiao Zhen take a look.
Xiao Zhen also pressed herself against the door, peering inside through her peek-through eyes. She didn't say anything, but suddenly she screamed, "Ah!"
Bai Jie was startled and quickly pulled her back, asking, "What's wrong, Xiao Zhen?"
Xiao Zhen was probably really scared; she stammered as she spoke, saying, "There's...there's something inside!"
Something? Sister Bai saw it clearly just now, there was nothing there! But Xiao Zhen probably wouldn't lie to him, so Sister Bai looked over again.
This time, when she looked over, it was still empty. After staring at it for several seconds, Sister Bai said to Xiao Zhen, "Xiao Zhen, you've been naughty! You actually dared to lie to me!"
"Brother Bai, I really didn't lie to you. Look closely... there really is something inside!"
Xiao Zhen's insistence left Sister Bai speechless. She wondered if it was because Xiao Zhen was a claw that she could see more clearly? That shouldn't be the case. If she had a claw spirit, Sister Bai should have noticed it long ago!
Sister Bai was determined to listen to Xiao Zhen one last time. She peeked into the cave again. But as soon as she looked, a figure suddenly sprang up, its eyes fixed on Sister Bai—a deep crimson!
Sister Bai's heart tightened instantly; there really was something there. However, he wasn't a coward; a coward couldn't become a Taoist master. He merely blinked once, then looked inside again.
But to her surprise, it was still a deep crimson red. However, this time Sister Bai saw it clearly. It seemed to be an eye, a red eye!
No normal person could possibly have eyes like that. What could be inside them?!
Sister Bai immediately took out the Divine Compass, as nothing evil could escape its predictions. The Divine Compass indeed spun wildly as soon as it was taken out, but in the end, the pointer pointed at Xiao Zhen!
This scene left not only Sister Bai speechless, but even Xiao Zhen scratched her head sheepishly and said, "Brother Bai, it's not wrong!"
Sister Bai let out a sigh of relief, feeling quite frustrated. But the divine compass wasn't pointing inwards, which meant that what was inside wasn't an evil spirit, but a person or animal?
With that in mind, Sister Bai finally decided to break the lock and see what was inside. Whether it was a person or an evil spirit, if it had the ability to attack, Sister Bai wouldn't mind teaching it a lesson!
