Chapter 38 The Evil Pillowmate
"Put a curse on me? Will my husband still be in the same state as before?"
Mrs. Wen felt her scalp tingling when she heard this, and she couldn't help but ask in an excited tone.
"No, but we still need to solve the source."
…
Twelve o'clock midnight is the time when humans are fast asleep and when the yin energy is the strongest.
Two people were standing outside a villa area on the outskirts of Anlin City. Both of them were wearing dark clothes, as if they wanted to blend into the night.
But her skin was too white, which made her stand out in the darkness.
With the gratitude and entrustment of the Wen family, Qing Yanrou brought Chu Tingbai to Li Zhibin's villa.
Bai Yi originally wanted to come along, but she kept him at the Wen family because she found that the magic weapons he brought were all good-looking but useless, and he himself had no Taoist skills, so she kept him.
Looking at the villa in front of her, Qing Yanrou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. It seemed that Li Zhibin was really guilty.
The villa is surrounded by an invisible barrier, which carries a thunderous righteousness that is specifically designed to defeat evil spirits. This is why it is the cleanest place among all the villas in this area.
She stretched out her finger and flicked the barrier surrounding the villa. The air stagnated for a moment where her finger touched, and then flowed faster.
"Come on, let's go find the things and then go meet him."
Without stopping, the two began to walk quietly along the periphery of the villa.
Province Z is located in the south. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival now and there are a few fallen leaves on the ground. An evening breeze blows, lifting up the fallen leaves. The fallen leaves and the evening breeze make a slight rustling sound, adding a sense of eeriness at this moment.
Suddenly, Qing Yanrou stopped, and used her right foot to test the soil under her feet. Feeling it was soft, she squatted down.
"I'll do it."
Seeing that she wanted to dig it up with a wooden stick, Chu Tingbai consciously took the stick from her hand and started digging at the soft soil. After a while, the stick hit a hard piece.
The speed of his hands began to increase, and the things below were finally exposed.
It was a wooden box with patterns of the mythical beast Bai Ze carved all around it, and a small and exquisite lock on it. He took out the box, wiped off the dirt on it, and handed it to Qing Yanrou.
Under the moonlight, the Bai Ze pattern on the clean box actually looked a little aggrieved and angry.
Bai Ze, who should have been worshipped by pure and upright people as a god to drive away ghosts and a symbol of good fortune, was actually buried underground.
Qing Yanrou, who had strong hands, twisted the lock casually and took it off, then threw it aside and opened the box.
Unexpectedly, the box contained a copper seal, and the image of the mythical beast Bai Ze was engraved on the seal.
I didn't expect that the person who helped Li Zhibin actually used Taoist magic tools to help him. It seems that Li Zhibin is quite important to him.
After taking out the seals from the box, the two continued to search around the outside of the villa. In less than half an hour, they dug out the seals in the eight directions. The eight seals were engraved with four Bai Ze and four Chongming birds, which were said to be mythical beasts that could drive away ghosts and evil spirits.
After all the seals were found, the barrier protecting the villa disappeared instantly.
At this moment, in a bedroom in the villa, a middle-aged man who was sitting on the bed meditating suddenly opened his eyes with disbelief on his face. His cloudy eyes looked outside through the window viciously, and sure enough, the barrier had disappeared.
The middle-aged man quickly got off the bed and quickly turned the vase on the cabinet next to him. With a "click", the wall opposite the bed moved to the side, revealing a passage.
He hurried into the passage, and the wall closed again behind him.
Outside the villa, Qing Yanrou and Chu Tingbai were climbing over the wall and entering the villa.
So much effort was spent on setting up a formation outside the villa to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, but there was only a small illusion formation inside.
Wen Jiaguo must have entered the illusion array in front of him after he came in, and was then cursed by that person.
An unformed illusion array posed no danger to her at all. After destroying the illusion array, the two of them swaggered into the villa.
As soon as Qing Yanrou entered the villa, she found something wrong. There was no trace of living people in the entire villa, and it was weird everywhere.
After exchanging a glance with Chu Tingbai, both of them walked cautiously towards the second floor of the villa.
It would be fine if she was alone, but Chu Tingbai was just an ordinary person who had just started working. This villa was full of weirdness, so she had to be more cautious.
The two searched all the rooms, big and small, but found nothing, but this made things seem even more wrong.
When she was outside the villa, she could clearly feel the presence of someone inside. Now it seems that the person living in this villa cannot be Li Zhibin.
Chu Tingbai felt uncomfortable since he entered the room. He always felt like a pair of eyes were watching him. His brows were tightly furrowed and his lips were tightly pursed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Noticing his abnormality, Qing Yanrou couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"fine."
He said it was okay, but he took out his cell phone, typed a line of words on the screen and handed it to her.
Qing Yanrou frowned slightly after seeing it and returned the phone to him, "Since no one is here, let's go back. It's the middle of the night and we're sleepy." Then she walked towards the door.
At this moment, the scene in a painting hanging on the wall moved slightly.
"Oh, I found you."
The two people who had already walked to the door suddenly turned around, and a mountain ghost coin containing Qing Yanrou's spiritual energy was inserted into the painting with a "whoosh".
"ah."
A sharp, miserable scream echoed in the empty room.
Black liquid began to flow from the place where the mountain ghost coin was inserted. He walked over to take it off and used a purification talisman to remove the stain completely with disgust.
Looking at the wall in front of her, Qing Yanrou felt a little annoyed. She didn't want to waste time and was about to take out the talisman to blow it up.
But thinking that the original intention of bringing Chu Tingbai was to test his recent learning results, he gave this task to him.
"Come on."
Chu Tingbai took out a few talismans from his bag. He had not yet learned how to draw talismans, so these were all drawn by Qing Yanrou.
When he used the lightning-attracting talisman before, he could only attract lightning as thick as a finger. Now in the room, many buildings now have lightning rods, so the lightning-attracting talisman is useless.
He searched through a pile of talismans and finally chose a blasting talisman. He didn't expect Qing Yanrou to have this kind of talisman.
Qing Yanrou couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw that the talisman taken out was an explosive talisman she created herself.
When she lived in Yantai Village, her life was rather poor. Every household would set off fireworks and firecrackers during festivals. However, she and Master Jianyi were the only two living people in the temple. It was too deserted.
The money they earned was used to buy necessities such as incense, candles, and yellow paper. While other places were bustling with activity, Yantai Temple was deserted.
She was childish at that time and thought that she should have what others had, so she drew this kind of talismans to liven up the fun.
However, due to his great talent in drawing talismans, the talismans were extremely powerful. The sound of the explosion scared everyone in the village at the foot of the mountain. Thinking something had happened, they hurried up the mountain to check. When they got up, they saw a big hole blown up in the open space in front of Yantai Temple.
Qing Yanrou stood beside the pit in a daze.
Finally, we saw a Taoist priest coaxing the enthusiastic villagers down the mountain.
From then on, Qing Yanrou no longer used this talisman, mainly because it was useless.
I didn't expect that it was included in the talisman that was stuffed into Chu Tingbai, and it just came in handy now.
