After dark, the yin energy becomes heavier, and the evil spirits in the villa become more difficult to deal with.
"I know." Shi Xi waved her hand dismissively.
Ji Ruwen looked at Shi Xi, who hadn't taken anything and was planning to go in empty-handed.
Finally, unable to hold back, he spoke up—
"Come here."
"?" Shi Xi turned her head and pointed at herself with some uncertainty.
"Are you calling me?"
This is because they feel he might be so heartless as to take advantage of Qi Tingsong, so they are worried.
Ji Ruwen gave him a careful look.
"Reach out your hand."
Ji Ruwen said.
Shi Xi hesitated for a second, but still obediently extended her hand.
Then Ji Ruwen placed his hand on his palm and gave him something.
It was a yellow talisman with specific patterns drawn on it.
Shi Xi recognized him.
It's a peace charm.
Shi Xi looked completely bewildered.
Why give him this thing?
“As a sorcerer, you should prepare more supplies.” Ji Ruwen looked at him seriously, “Although I don’t know how you cast spells…”
"But I don't want any surprises to happen during the assessment."
He withdrew his hand after speaking, glanced at the villa, and said, "Let's go inside."
Shi Xi felt that Ji Ruwen wasn't so cold-hearted after all... He was wondering whether he should tell him that he wasn't unprepared.
Qi Tingsong turned around when he saw that Shi Xi hadn't followed.
Then I saw that Shi Xi had a peace charm in her palm. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy, it should have been drawn by Ji Ruwen himself.
Qi Tingsong frowned.
Shi Xi thought he was getting impatient, so she stopped talking, put the talisman in her pocket, and walked over quickly.
"Are you getting impatient?" He smiled at Qi Tingsong.
"You went to see Ji Ruwen yesterday?" Qi Tingsong looked at Shi Xi and asked in a low voice, his tone somewhat inexplicable.
Shi Xi thought to herself.
What do you mean by "went to see Ji Ruwen again"?
It's more likely that he'll be caught by Ji Ruwen.
"No." Shi Xi was speechless for two seconds. "He saw me go to find you."
"Let me behave myself."
Shi Xi felt that Ji Ruwen was like a head teacher who was cracking down on students dating too early, as if she was afraid that she would ruin Qi Tingsong, such a promising student.
No wonder he didn't come this morning.
Qi Tingsong thought to himself, then opened the door.
They had just stepped inside.
The next second, the door slammed shut automatically.
The room was dark and messy, with signs of fire still visible.
Shi Xi walked to the door of a room and just opened it.
The temperature seemed to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant, and countless wisps of cold air rushed out of the room, making people feel inexplicably cold.
Just then, the wooden floorboards suddenly made a clattering sound of footsteps.
It felt like something was approaching him.
Just as Shi Xi was about to ask the system what was going on here, she saw a capybara holding a teacup in her mind, looking serene and content.
There's a kind of relaxed, half-dead feeling.
【Oh, what's wrong?】
Shi Xi: "..." I forgot, the cold medicine is afraid of ghosts.
The hanging chair by the window was swaying, and a dark figure was sitting on it.
"Hehehe... It's a pretty little thing... I'll keep it to keep me entertained."
Shi Xi smiled slightly, "That won't do."
"I'm here to take you in, not to play with you."
His refusal seemed to enrage the shadowy figure, who climbed off the hammock and charged towards Shi Xi.
Shi Xi took out a coin from her pocket, glanced down at the dark figure, and said, "Instead of being trapped here, I'd rather send you to reincarnation."
With a flick of the wrist, the coin flew out of her hand.
"Aaaaaa!!!!"
The dark figure let out a shrill scream, and black blood suddenly spread across the floor. As if trying to break free of its restraints, it actually abandoned a part of its body.
It roared and tried to escape.
Shi Xi stretched out her finger, put it in her mouth and bit it, and blood beaded on her fingertip.
His lips parted as he chanted the incantation, his hands rapidly forming hand seals in mid-air: "Chase the soul, bind the spirit, lock the ghost's body... So be it!"
He is now using a Taoist soul incantation, which is mainly for sealing spirits, that is, trapping the shadow.
As soon as Shi Xi finished speaking, the black shadow was bound by a chain that appeared out of thin air. The black aura gradually dissipated, revealing its true form.
He was dressed in casual clothes, had a handsome face, and looked to be in his early twenties. His clothes had been burned and looked tattered.
He looked at Shi Xi with some confusion, "What's wrong with me?"
"You're dead," Shi Xi said bluntly. "Don't you remember?"
"I... I'm dead..." The man looked surprised, as if he had really forgotten about it.
Shi Xi didn't care about his answer; she was asking her system in her heart—
"Does the cold medicine still have the original 'peach blossom curse'?"
I don't know why Qi Tingsong and he drew the same mission. Although the cold medicine said it wouldn't have much of an impact, it was mentioned in the original work that the sorcerer who came here was cursed with peach blossom curse.
Peach Blossom Curse is generally a formation set up by a fox spirit to keep or take revenge on its partner.
The former is a matter of likes and dislikes; the person affected by it will develop deep feelings and there is a way to resolve it. The latter is a matter of loss and dislikes; the person affected by it will become tireless in their desires and die from exhaustion, and there is no way to resolve it.
"I don't need to follow this plot, right?"
The capybara remained silent for a moment, slowly took a sip of tea, and then answered guiltily.
Don't worry, you don't need to leave.
As soon as Shi Xi stepped out of the room, she saw Qi Tingsong. Behind him was a couple with talismans on their bodies. When they saw the man behind Shi Xi, a look of fear appeared on their faces.
"Hello, Father and Mother," the man greeted them with a smile, but his eyes were full of malice.
"Mo'er..." The couple trembled and hid behind Qi Tingsong as if seeking refuge.
However, Shi Xi had her back to him and was talking to Qi Tingsong, so she didn't notice.
"What's going on?" Qi Tingsong frowned.
Logically, after they subdued the evil spirit, the yin energy in the house should have decreased by more than half, but in fact, it became even stronger.
Black fog enveloped almost the entire villa.
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow. "There's one more. It probably devoured the remaining wild ghosts."
Qi Tingsong sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, as soon as Shi Xi finished speaking, a piercing shriek came from behind him.
"roar!"
Qi Tingsong immediately grabbed Shi Xi's hand and pulled her into his arms.
Strangely, the evil spirit only appeared briefly before disappearing without a trace.
He could sense that there were other things besides the vengeful ghosts here, like an array that gathered yin energy.
With these thoughts in mind, Qi Tingsong tightened his grip on Shi Xi's waist.
“Something’s strange here,” he said. “I don’t know how powerful this evil spirit is.”
Shi Xi nodded, and just as she had put a little distance between herself and Qi Tingsong, she heard the cold medicine in her mind speak—
[Shi Xi, you haven't flirted with Qi Tingsong yet! Now's the time, hurry up and make your move!]
"..."
Shi Xi took a deep breath.
Then, with a turn, he pressed Qi Tingsong onto the bed.
