The evil spirits, unwilling to give up, launched attacks again and again. They scratched at the barrier with their sharp claws, howling in pain from the burns, yet they continued their relentless assault.
They then spat foul-smelling saliva onto the surface of the barrier, attempting to destroy it with their yin energy.
However, the warm light barrier remained unbreakable, steadily protecting the safety of everyone inside.
Inside the barrier, everyone watched this scene with tense anticipation, still filled with fear, but also with a surge of hope for the barrier itself.
They knew that only by relying on this barrier could they resist the invasion of evil spirits.
But this stalemate can't go on forever, Ye Lingfeng asked in a low voice, getting a little anxious.
"Xiaoxi, are we just going to sit here and wait without doing anything?"
"In this situation, all we can do is wait. Even if I go out and kill them, they will soon revive."
Don't worry, my barrier is quite strong. With me here, everyone will be fine.
Ye Shiming asked Xiaoxi in a low voice.
"Young ladies, I was so sorry to have invited you over tonight. How did this happen?"
Xiao Xi glared at Ye Shiming, then cast an anti-voice spell before daring to speak normally.
"Ye Shiming, now I have to ask you, where did you find this bizarre courtyard house?"
"This is one of the family businesses passed down from my ancestors. It was allocated to me before I came of age."
Why are there so many evil spirits in this courtyard? Why was the household god statue so terrifying just now, like it was trying to eat people?
"Hey, before your family moved in, didn't you even ask someone to look into your ancestors' affairs? Why did they have to acquire such a property?"
Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, utterly speechless.
Ye Shiming dared not ask any more questions, but Ye Lingfeng was very curious.
"Xiaoxi, tell me quickly, why is something wrong with this courtyard house? Let us all have a clear understanding so we can discuss countermeasures. After all, there's strength in numbers."
"Eighth Brother, this courtyard was deliberately built in the layout of a place of yin. Now look at what day it is today."
Today is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, and the number of wandering ghosts and vengeful spirits outside is almost half the size of the capital.
They took advantage of this day to wander around and were drawn to this courtyard.
Today is an extremely yin day, a once-in-a-century occurrence, and I can't handle it alone.
I completely forgot today is the Ghost Festival (July 15th of the lunar calendar). If I'd known, we wouldn't have gone out.
Ye Shiming quickly smiled ingratiatingly and followed the boy's example, addressing the little girl by her name.
"Xiaoxi, it's fortunate that you two siblings went out. First, you helped Ye Jiayang, and it's also fortunate that I invited you two to be my guests. You just saved me and everyone else."
Otherwise, we would have died a terrible death today!
I never imagined my family would be betrayed by our ancestors. They built this dilapidated house and then passed it down to their descendants, causing them harm.
Ye Shiming looked miserable and shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
Xiao Xi glared at Ye Shiming.
"Stop sighing all the time. Your luck is already bad, sighing will only make it worse."
“Yes, Xiaoxi, I was wondering why things have gotten worse and worse since we moved to this courtyard house.”
Our stock market has fallen, and my wife's and my health are deteriorating. Thankfully, she stays at her in-laws' house when she's sick; otherwise, today's situation would have terrified her.
Ye Shiming suddenly found the reason.
No wonder I look ten years older. The servants are always bumping into me or bruising me. No wonder my son is always crying and wanting to go out. Children are the most perceptive.
Xiao Xi suddenly asked again, "By the way, Ye Shiming, I just don't understand. As the head of the family, you should own many properties. Why did you have to move here of all people?"
Ye Shiming's eyes showed some reluctance to speak, but he thought that his relationship with Xiaoxi was already quite special, and besides, the murder case at his manor was not a secret.
