Chapter 797 Strange Girl
The girl kept looking at Zhou Wen, but she didn't shout or scream, nor did she look panicked.
This put Zhou Wen in a difficult position. If the girl had shown hostility or even screamed when she came up, he would have knocked her down long ago.
But now that she was looking at him like this, without making any noise or screaming, Zhou Wen couldn't just take action.
"There are so many people in the Xiao family, the girl may not know them all. Is it possible that she doesn't know that I'm not from the Xiao family?" Zhou Wen thought about it and it seemed very likely, otherwise there was no reason for the girl not to call anyone.
If we replace him with someone who is good at speaking, maybe he can still fool the girl and maybe get some words out of her.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wen was not good at speaking, so he just smiled at the girl in a friendly manner, pretending that he was just strolling around, and wanted to leave the yard.
Zhou Wen took a few steps to the side, trying to go around the girl, but the girl moved sideways two steps, blocking his way, obviously unwilling to let him go.
"Ahem, sorry, I went to the wrong place and disturbed you." Zhou Wen said, and walked a few steps to the other side, trying to go around the girl.
But the girl blocked his way again, but she had no intention of attacking him, and she didn't seem to be planning to shout.
"What's the matter with you stopping me? Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhou Wen planned to try and see if he could convince the girl with his not-so-good eloquence.
The girl still didn't say anything, still looking at him like that, constantly sizing up Zhou Wen.
"Are all the people in the Xiao family so weird?" Zhou Wen felt that this girl was a little strange.
Not to mention that her behavior was incomprehensible, when Zhou Wen first entered the yard, he did not see her. With his ability to listen carefully, it was impossible for Zhou Wen not to notice that there was someone in the yard.
But when the girl stood behind him, Zhou Wenzhen didn't notice where she came from.
"Could it be that this girl is not a human being, but a ghost?" Zhou Wen looked at the girl carefully, but did not find anything wrong with her. She looked like a normal human girl.
The girl still didn't speak. Zhou Wen wanted to say something else, but he found someone walking towards the yard.
Zhou Wen looked inside the yard and found that there was no other shelter except the Buddhist temple.
After taking a look at the girl, Zhou Wen made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and then went into the Buddhist hall.
Just because the girl could see him didn't mean others could see him too. Zhou Wen planned to try hiding first. Since he had already been exposed, the situation wouldn't get any worse.
There was only an altar table in the Buddhist hall, and no extra decorations. When Zhou Wen was thinking about where to hide the person, he saw the girl walk in.
The girl followed Zhou Wen like this. Even if other people couldn't see the invisible Zhou Wen, they would be able to discover his presence because of the girl.
Zhou Wen was about to take action and knock the girl down first, but he saw the girl pointing at a curtain in the corner of the Buddhist hall, as if to let Zhou Wen hide behind the curtain.
The two men had already walked to the gate of the courtyard. Zhou Wen didn't dare to speak anymore for fear of being heard by them. He could only look at the girl, point at himself, and then point at the curtain.
The girl seemed to understand what he meant and nodded.
Zhou Wen didn't care about much anymore and walked quietly behind the curtain.
Zhou Wen had just stood firm when he heard the door of the courtyard being opened. The two men had walked in and soon entered the Buddhist hall.
In fact, Zhou Wen was not really afraid of being discovered. If he was discovered, the worst that could happen was that he would just escape. He would just not be able to get any information.
The two men walked into the house without paying attention to what was behind the curtain. Obviously, they did not expect that there would be someone hiding here. Moreover, Zhou Wen was still invisible, and it would be difficult to find him with the naked eye.
However, what surprised Zhou Wen was that, not only did they not notice him, but they also ignored the girl next to him, as if they didn't see her.
The two people who entered the Buddhist temple no longer looked young, and were probably at least fifty years old.
After entering the Buddhist hall, one of the men placed something on the altar. It was a small metal stove with many small holes on it, from which wisps of smoke came out.
The smoke did not rise vertically, but as if attracted by some force, it floated towards the Kumantong on the altar.
The man bowed to the Kumantong on the altar again, then stood up and walked aside.
"Sixth Brother, have you investigated Si'er's case clearly?" asked the man who put down the cigarette.
"According to the intelligence sent back by the spies in the imperial capital, Xiao Si went to the Great Wall with Wang Chan. There should be another person who went with them. This person has a good relationship with Wang Chan. We haven't found out who it is yet." Xiao Liuqi replied.
"In your opinion, could it be that the Wang family discovered our purpose and deliberately got rid of Si'er?" Xiao Tianfang said with a frown.
"From the current perspective, it shouldn't happen. If the Wang family really discovered our purpose, they would definitely not just target Xiao Si, nor would they explain Xiao Si's affairs to us. They might even break with our Xiao family. But from the current perspective, there are no such signs." Xiao Liuqi said.
Xiao Tianfang sighed and said, "After all, the Wang family is a family in the East District. Even if they are stronger than our Xiao family, it is not easy for them to come to the South District and attack us. I am not afraid of them turning against me. It's a pity that Si'er is dead. I am afraid that our plan will never stand a chance again."
"Brother, is there nothing else that can replace Wang Chan's fate?" Xiao Liuqi asked.
"If there was, we wouldn't have to take such a big risk to target the Wang family." Xiao Tianfang explained: "We have studied the Gu Maiden Gu Manli for so many years. Although we successfully promoted her to the god level, we still can't control her freely. In fact, her control has been getting weaker in recent years, let alone refining her into our own life soul."
"Now that she has reached the god level, it is impossible to refine her into a life soul. However, by using Wang Chan's fate as the goddess of misfortune, we can create a misfortune Gu Manli, and let her and the poison girl Gu Manli suppress and influence each other. In this way, we can take the opportunity to firmly control them both in our hands." Xiao Tianfang said.
"Can Tiantong be used to replace Misfortune Gumanli?" Xiao Liuqi asked.
"It's not that simple. The Gu Manli, the Gu girl, is the reincarnation of the Gu God. We forcibly refined her into Gu Manli before she was born. Although she is not a real god, she is not comparable to ordinary Gu Mantong. Only some extremely powerful Gu Mantongs can interact with her. At present, the best chance we have is to train Wang Chan into the Gu Manli of Doom. The other methods are more difficult and hopeless to achieve." Xiao Tianfang said.
I can only update one picture at noon today. My right eye hurts a little for some reason. I'll go and have a look first.
