But the strange thing was that there was no sound in the whole village, not even a wisp of smoke from cooking fires. If they hadn't been here yesterday, they would have even suspected that they had entered a deserted village.

Wen Qi released her soul power as soon as she entered the village. When she realized that all the villagers were sleeping at home, she felt a little relieved. After thinking about it, she decided to go back to the Tan family with Liu Ran.

The three members of the Tan family were still sleeping in the woodshed, as if nothing had happened. But as soon as he entered the yard, Wen Qi found something wrong. The yard was in a mess, as if there had been a big riot.

“Master Wen! Master Liu!” Tan Yingying ran out of the house, her eyes red with excitement again, “You are finally back!”

Wen Qi looked at her face and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you are reborn." Then she motioned for Tan Yingying to go into the house and talk.

As soon as he entered the room, the little ghost pointed at Tan Yingying and said, "Mom! Look, she is crying with joy again!"

Qingyi sighed, pulled the little ghost and bowed slightly to Wen Qi, then smiled apologetically to Tan Yingying, and flashed back into the bracelet.

Tan Yingying: …

Wen Qi laughed, walked to the only table in the room, took out talisman paper, cinnabar, and a brush, spread them out one by one, and then drew a talisman with a solemn expression.

The moment the last stroke was made, the rune emitted a visibly golden-red light.

Tan Yingying couldn't help but exclaimed.

Wen Qi curled his lips slightly, holding the talisman and looking at her, "Come, put on a talisman to drive away the evil."

Tan Yingying stepped forward without saying anything and asked, "Where is it posted?"

Wen Qi raised his hand and slapped her on the forehead. The talisman emitted light, and wisps of black air floated out of Tan Yingying's body and were absorbed by the talisman.

Liu Ran took the opportunity to get closer to Wen Qi and asked in a low voice: "Why are you drawing the talisman so seriously? Don't you usually just use your soul power to get it done?"

Wen Qi didn't move his lips and whispered, "Customer, then you have to perform well in a way that she can understand." Celebrities in the entertainment industry are a large customer base. After the reputation is spread by word of mouth, why would you still worry about a lack of business?

Liu Ran understood, it was true that there was no gain without early action! She looked at the talisman on Tan Yingying's head again, and even the speed of absorbing evil spirits slowed down! She was afraid that people didn't know that the effect of her talisman was visible to the naked eye!

After a full minute, no more black gas came out of Tan Yingying's body, and the talisman did not burn into ashes directly, but the runes on it became a little dimmer.

Wen Qi took off the talisman and casually slapped it on the window. The talisman flashed slightly and turned into ashes.

Tan Yingying was startled, "What's going on!"

Wen Qi explained, "There are more evil spirits on the windows." She asked, "Tell me what happened last night."

Thinking about last night's experience, Tan Yingying still felt like she was having a nightmare. But she still calmed down and told him everything she saw and heard in detail.

"...They didn't leave until the sun rose." After a pause, Tan Yingying continued, "My parents and my younger brother haven't shown up. If you guys don't come back, I don't dare to go out and see them. I don't know what's going on with them."

Wen Qi was a little absent-minded, as if he didn't hear anything, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Liu Ran said, "When we came back, we saw that he was still sleeping in the woodshed."

Tan Yingying nodded with a complicated expression, "That's good."

After that, none of the three spoke. A few minutes later, Wen Qi suddenly asked, "Do you have breakfast? I'm hungry."

Even as the three of them sat around the small table drinking porridge, Tan Yingying felt that this development was a bit magical. With so many weird villagers to deal with, how could they still have the mind to eat? Liu Ran was also puzzled. How could he not be anxious now after rushing back in such a hurry?

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Wen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll take a break and start working." She looked at the two of them. "I want to build an exorcism formation around the village. I need your help."

Wen Qi explained: "The villagers' situation is better than I thought, and the source of the evil spirit is not as powerful as I imagined. It has not even gotten rid of its instinctive fear of the sun." But when everything was unclear, she had to prepare for the worst.

Liu Ran understood, but... She frowned and said, "We know nothing about formations, what can we do?"

Tan Yingying, an ordinary person, looked confused and didn't understand anything at all.

Wen Qi said: "After I finish making the formation flags, you just need to follow my instructions and put them in the designated positions. Not only you, but also Qingyi, the little ghost and Taotie will have to help." Even the Metaphysics Book couldn't escape. There was no other way. There were not enough people.

After dinner, Wen Qi rummaged around in the Tan family and found a piece of red cloth, which she cut into eight identical triangles in a few seconds. She then used her soul power to draw a complicated battle formation on the flag, and finally tied it to a tree branch, and a battle formation flag was ready.

Qingyi and Xiaogui had been watching from the sidelines since Wen Qi started making the formation flags, but she was moving too fast, and both mother and son didn't understand what she was doing, and both had the same look of confusion on their faces.

Wen Qi took the time to look at the mother and daughter, and said with a smile: "If you want to learn the formation, wait until I get back to teach you. I don't have time to explain it now. The light at noon is only for a short time. If you don't hurry, you will miss it. If you miss it, you will have to wait until noon tomorrow. It's a waste of time."

Wen Qi handed the two battle flags to Qing Yi and Xiao Gui respectively, "Study them yourself first."

Qingyi and Xiaogui took it and looked at it carefully. Within five minutes, Xiaogui's brows were furrowed, and his tender little face seemed to be full of question marks. What is this? Xiaogui took a deep breath. Forget it. He is still a child. Why embarrass himself? Xiaogui rolled up the flag and stuffed it into his pants, waiting for Wenqi to arrange a position for him to plant the flag.

After all, Qingyi had been practicing for thousands of years, so he had some understanding of the formations. As he watched, he really got into it.

When Wen Qi finished making all the formation flags and looked up, Qing Yi had even begun to unconsciously follow the formation diagram. She looked at the time, there was less than an hour until noon, there was no time left.

Wen Qi sighed and snapped his fingers lightly.

Qing Yi came back to his senses instantly and looked at Wen Qi in confusion, "Master?"

Wen Qi apologized, "We don't have time. When we get home, I will explain this exorcism formation to you in detail, and then give you a box of formation diagrams as an apology!"

Qing Yi was a little regretful at first, but after hearing that, the regret instantly turned into anticipation. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Then thank you, Master."

Wen Qi also laughed, "Let's go, finish the work early and go home early."

The population of the small mountain village is not large, but because it is on the mountain, the distance between households is not close, and it is definitely not an easy task to set up a formation to surround them.

Wen Qi first asked Taotie to survey the terrain in the air, and worked with Qingyi to draw a simple map. Then he compared the map and marked a few flag-planting points.

After determining the flag-planting point, Wen Qi said, "First, everyone take your positions, and then wait for my signal. Once the signal comes out, plant the flag immediately!"

All the people and soul masters nodded in agreement, and the book of metaphysics also flipped the pages twice.

The place Tan Yingying was going to was the nearest, near the entrance to the village where she entered yesterday, due east. But after what happened yesterday, she didn't dare to act alone, but in order not to hold everyone back, she kept silent.

But before leaving, Wen Qi found her and comforted her with a smile, "Remember the amulet I gave you? It is a part of my magic weapon, with very powerful power, and is immune to all evil. Just stand there and wait for the signal. Not to mention that these people are asleep, even if they wake up, they dare not approach you."

Tan Yingying took a deep breath, held the amulet tightly with both hands, and nodded vigorously, "I'm not afraid!"

Wen Qi smiled with relief, "Brave girl."

For the remaining flags, Liu Ran was responsible for the southeast, Xiao Gui was due south, Qing Yi was southwest, Tao Tie was due west, and Metaphysics Secret Book was northwest. Wen Qi was responsible for the remaining north and northeast.

No one asked, but everyone was curious, how could Wen Qi be in charge of two positions? Even if he ran faster, he wouldn't be able to make it in time, after all, the timing of planting the flags had to be almost the same.

Just when everyone was feeling nervous, a very clear sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the sky. When they looked in the direction of the sound, they could only see a streak of light moving from due north to northeast!

It's a signal! Everyone reacted, took out the battle flags in their hands, and inserted them into the ground as the light disappeared.

After a breath, the formation flag suddenly burst into light, and then disappeared in front of them. At the same time, the invisible power of purification spread throughout the formation space.

"Is this... a success?" Tan Yingying muttered uncertainly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a series of wailing sounds rang out in the village, which frightened her. She turned around and looked at the village vigilantly, holding the amulet on her body tightly.

Therefore, she did not notice that a dark shadow approached her silently from behind, raised a stone the size of a human head in his hand, and smashed it fiercely on the back of her head.

Tan Yingying groaned, rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.

The black shadow threw away the stone expressionlessly and reached out to grab the amulet.

The moment his hand touched the amulet, bursts of black smoke rose up, accompanied by the smell of burning flesh, but the black shadow seemed to feel nothing. He tore off the amulet and threw it away, then picked up Tan Yingying from the ground and limped into the mountains very quickly.

On the other side, Wen Qi, who had just relaxed a little, suddenly changed her expression, and her soul power transformed into a pair of wings behind her, flying close to the ground towards the east. She sensed that the amulet was eroded by evil spirits, and something happened to Tan Yingying.

The only one who is still pestering Tan Yingying at this time is that evil god!

There was a murderous look in Wen Qi's eyes. Since you are here, don't leave.

Liu Ran, Xiao Gui and Taotie also sensed Wen Qi's mood changes, and the three soul masters rushed to the east at the same time. The Metaphysical Secret Book and the Bagua Mace, which was thrown out as a signal and inserted straight into the northeast with the formation flag, also turned into two streams of light under Wen Qi's call and rushed towards their master.

They made so much noise that Liu Ran naturally noticed them. Although he didn't know what was going on, he also ran eastward with them.

Wen Qi was the first to arrive at the village entrance, but he only saw the mottled amulet on the ground that had been eroded by evil spirits. (End of this chapter)
