The children fell silent, all in surprise.
"Little boy, who are you?"
That sound just now had immense power; could it be someone from the Xuanmen sect?
"I'm a ghost hunter."
As the childish voice fell, Jiang Shumiao immediately made her move, unleashing a torrent of divine power that swept down from the sky, causing the ghosts to scatter and flee.
"Oh my god, that's terrifying."
"Hurry up, hurry up."
But we can't leave.
Jiang Shumiao had set up a barrier before making her move, and easily collected all the ghosts into her palm.
"Those who have taken human lives and committed numerous evil deeds deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell."
The little devils could no longer jump around and cried and begged for mercy.
"Great Immortal, spare me! I'll never dare to do it again, waaaaah..."
"We didn't mean to harm anyone, but this house has a soul-locking formation. If we die, we can't get out and can't be reincarnated, sob sob sob..."
"So you commit evil?"
Jiang Shumiao's gaze was icy.
The kids were all feeling guilty and didn't dare to argue back.
Jiang Shumiao snorted, "The owner of this house was a half-baked cultivator. He planted locust trees to gather yin energy and set up an array, probably to create puppets. But he went into qi deviation while practicing and died bleeding from all seven orifices. You were trapped here and couldn't get out, so over time you developed evil thoughts. Most of the families that moved away had people die, all because of you."
The little devils were crying.
"We're victims too! Who knew that heartless bastard would plant a locust tree in his yard?"
"You refuse to reincarnate and instead stay in the human world to cause trouble, and you still have the nerve to be right?"
Jiang Shumiao waved her hand, and the sound of slaps echoed, finally silencing the kids.
The male head of the household was a heretical cultivator, and his sins were so grave that he went mad, which was retribution. But these ghosts, who were almost turned into puppets, harbored resentment and killed the heretical cultivator's other family members, including a child who was not even three years old, devouring even his soul.
If it weren't for the formation, they would have been harming people everywhere long ago.
Jiang Shumiao was furious, so she beat each ghost until their heads were like pigs' heads, and then threw them all into the River of Oblivion.
She formed her five fingers into claws and broke the formation.
She also dispelled the evil spirits in the house.
The sky was already beginning to lighten.
She came quietly, and she left quietly.
In the blink of an eye, she was back in the capital. She passed through the wall back to her room, lay down, and hadn't been asleep for long when she heard crying.
Jiang Shumiao sat up without even opening her eyes, and got off the ground, following the sound to the front hall.
"Mother, who is crying?"
She was still sleepy, her baby voice was muffled, her eyes were still closed, and she almost tripped over the threshold.
Xiao Yitang quickly went over and picked her up.
“Vast and insignificant”.
Jiang Shumiao rubbed her eyes, yawned, and opened them, looking a little dazed.
Xiao Yitang affectionately touched her face, and was about to suggest sending her back to sleep some more, but when he looked up and saw his elder sister sitting downstairs, he hesitated.
Xiao Yiqiong had stopped crying, but tears still clung to her face.
Upon seeing Jiang Shumiao, she disregarded everything else and hurriedly said, "Miaomiao, your aunt didn't mean to bother you. Your second cousin and his wife have been unconscious for some reason, and we can't wake them up no matter what we do. The doctor even tried acupuncture, but it didn't work. I suspect they're possessed by an evil spirit. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Jiang Shumiao immediately regained her senses.
Possessed by an evil spirit?
Xiao Yiqiong nodded, "The child has been crying so much that his voice is almost hoarse. I really had no other choice but to come to you."
Jiang Shumiao got down from her mother's arms. "I'll go take a look."
Xiao Yiqiong was overjoyed.
Xiao Yitang was worried and followed.
Unlike the Jiang family, which had a small population, the Lu family was large and prosperous.
Lu Sui had six brothers from the same father, four of whom were born out of wedlock.
Xiao Yiqiong and Lu Sui had a good relationship and lived in the Lu family mansion for many years. However, as several of her brothers-in-law got married one after another, the mansion became more and more crowded. She found it noisy and moved back to her own princess mansion, only visiting her parents-in-law regularly each month.
Her husband and son naturally lived with her.
However, Lu Yan knew that Lu Yanhe's wedding banquet was held at the Lu family mansion, since it was necessary to pay respects to the elders and be included in the family genealogy.
They now all live in the Princess's residence.
Jiang Shumiao jumped off the carriage and didn't sense any evil spirits around the princess's residence. Since she was already there, there was no need to waste her divine sense searching.
She walked straight in.
Despite her short legs, she walks incredibly fast; Xiao Yitang and Xiao Yiqiong can barely keep up.
Lu Yanhe and Gu Zhiqing were found to be acting strangely this morning. At first, the maid thought they were just sick and called a doctor, but no one paid much attention.
Lu Sui went to court, and Lu Yanzhi also went to the Imperial Academy.
When the doctor arrived, he couldn't feel her pulse.
Dead people have no pulse.
But both of their bodies were clearly hot.
That's very strange.
Xiao Yiqiong then realized that her son and daughter-in-law might not be sick, but rather had offended something unclean. She immediately went to the Duke of Anguo's mansion to invite Jiang Shumiao.
As soon as Jiang Shumiao entered the room, she saw the two people who were fast asleep.
"Their souls have been stolen."
Xiao Yiqiong was startled.
Knowing her niece's abilities, she had no doubt and immediately asked, "Is it a monster or a ghost?"
Jiang Shumiao shook her head, "There is no demonic aura, nor any yin energy."
Xiao Yitang's eyelids twitched, and she understood what was going on.
It is God.
Xiao Yiqiong was at a loss and was so worried that she was about to cry again. She squatted down and held Jiang Shumiao's arm. "Miaomiao, you can save them, right?"
Jiang Shumiao nodded emphatically, "Aunt, don't worry. Even if their souls are scattered, I can re-form them."
