Chapter 1: The evil spirit is infected by the evil spirit
A chill wind blew in from the window, and the red candles in the room flickered. Yin Zhiyi shuddered, with only one thought in his mind: there was something dirty around.
But are the kids nowadays so brave? He even dares to pester a Heavenly Master of her level, and he is not afraid of losing his soul!
Yin Zhiyi reached out to touch the magic weapon at her waist, but only felt a slippery and cold cloth. She opened her eyes suddenly, but what she saw was an unfamiliar environment!
Yin Zhiyi:? ? Huh? Where is this?
Wasn't she just exorcising evil spirits in her employer's old house?
The wooden door creaked and someone pushed it open and walked in.
The next moment, the little maid's terrified voice exploded in Yin Zhiyi's ears: "Miss, how could you tear up this talisman?! Master Ji Tianshi has warned that this talisman cannot be moved!"
Hiss, Master Ji? Tearing the talisman?
The little maid's face turned pale: "What should I do? Master Ji Tian and Master Bai Tian have gone to the city to exorcise the evil spirits, and they haven't come back yet!"
"Tonight is the full moon...if another dirty thing comes to our door!"
Yin Zhiyi's brain froze for a moment after being bombarded by these words like a series of artillery shells. Her memory suddenly came to her mind. She was indeed performing an exorcism ritual for the old house just now. Then she knocked over a supernatural novel called "Xuan Tianshi". She picked it up and flipped through it casually. A dazzling white light appeared in front of her eyes, and then she came here.
She had a bad feeling and looked at the surrounding decoration. It was too familiar. Wasn't this the passage she had just read in the book?
So he asked tentatively: "Xiao Cui?"
"Ah? Miss?"
Yin Zhiyi was silent. Has she traveled through time and space into a book?
She was also transformed into the vicious female supporting character with the same name and surname as her in the book, who ended up with a miserable end!
If Yin Zhiyi had known that he would be traveling through a book, he would have memorized the entire novel instead of just glancing at the beginning and the end.
She looked in the direction the maid pointed and saw several yellow talismans scattered on the ground, which were torn off by the original owner.
——A talisman to calm the mind.
She also noticed the obscure pattern painted with cinnabar beneath her body, and she knew at a glance that it was a ghost-exorcising formation.
The combination of the ghost-exorcising formation and the calming talisman can keep even the most vicious ghosts and evil spirits out of the formation. However, if either of them is damaged, the whole thing will be useless.
The little maid staggered outside and tried to call for help, but Yin Zhiyi quickly stopped her, "Wait."
She picked up the talisman on the ground, pressed it onto the magic circle, and stuck it firmly: "Isn't this good?"
"Miss, is this... really okay?" The little maidservant's eyes widened with some hesitation, as if she was shocked by such a rough and casual way of sticking the talisman. She remembered that the two Taoist priests recited many spells before sticking the talisman.
"Of course..." No.
How can a damaged talisman be repaired? If you ask what role it plays, it has a very important role, it serves as a decoration.
As for the vengeful spirit on the roof that was only one step away from becoming an evil spirit, it was of no use at all.
Yin Zhiyi glanced at the roof and found it was filled with a spooky aura.
Thinking of the extremely yin fate of the original owner, she made a prompt decision: "Xiao Cui, bring me a bronze mirror, as well as cinnabar and a peach wood sword."
The original owner was the daughter of the City Lord of Yunsang City. She had a very special physique since childhood. The original book only described it in one sentence: "Ghosts will appear on the night of the full moon." For this reason, the City Lord sought out countless Taoist priests to perform rituals, but to no avail.
A month ago, several evil spirits of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Yunsang City. Many people in the city were infected by the evil spirit and died, causing panic among the people.
The male protagonist Ji Ci and the female protagonist Bai Zhixing are the best among the heavenly masters of the northern and southern factions. They are ordered by their master to eliminate the evil spirits and clear up the evil spirits.
The male and female protagonists are the two heavenly masters that Xiao Cui mentioned just now.
This is also the beginning of the whole book.
Originally, on the full-moon night today, the male and female protagonists set up an impregnable formation for the original owner, and then the two of them joined forces to fight the evil spirit and clear the evil spirit, and it ended happily for everyone.
But the bad thing now is that the original owner thought that the male and female protagonists were swindlers and did not believe them, so he deliberately destroyed the formation on the ground.
After Yin Zhiyi gave the instructions, although Xiao Cui didn't understand what her young lady was going to do, she immediately took out the things she mentioned from the cabinet.
It has to be said that the thing that the City Lord’s Mansion has the most is definitely items that can ward off evil spirits.
Yin Zhiyi asked again: "What time is it now?"
Xiao Cui scratched her head and said, "It should be three quarters past midnight."
There is still a quarter of an hour left at ion time.
There's still time.
Yin energy is at its strongest at midnight, and evil spirits can easily absorb the Yin energy and become evil spirits, making them even more difficult to deal with.
In the original book, the original owner became the target of the vengeful spirit because of her own actions, but the original owner was cruel enough. She directly pushed her maid Xiao Cui out to block the fatal blow, and then was rescued by the male and female protagonists who rushed back.
But despite this, the original owner was still infected by the evil spirit.
After being infected, the protagonists took her to Wangyou Villa to find a solution.
In the original book, the Tianshi lineage has a very high status. She was jealous of the heroine along the way and kept causing trouble. It has to be said that the original owner was a qualified cannon fodder. There was not much plot, but if she was there, she must be causing trouble.
Until the end, the original owner was tragically targeted by the villain, skinned and made into a human skin puppet, ending her absurd and short life in pain.
Thinking of the tragic state of the original owner in the end, Yin Zhiyi felt mixed emotions. And the most terrible thing was that she knew nothing about the villain who killed her!
Therefore, she must avoid the nodes infected by evil spirits, Yin Zhiyi made up her mind.
"Miss, why do I feel like this room is getting colder and colder?" A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xiao Cui's voice trembled as she spoke.
It's okay to be cold.
The closer we get to the ion, the more ferocious the evil spirit on the roof becomes.
The yin energy becomes heavier.
Yin Zhiyi dipped some cinnabar in his hand and added two strokes to the formation, making full use of the formation set up by the heroine.
She placed the bronze mirror on the ground, and through the mirror, she saw the face of the person in the mirror.
She had a round forehead, narrow eyebrows, upturned eyes, and a very charming face. However, the drooping corners of her mouth and the usual stern look on her face detracted from her elegance and made her look a bit vicious.
It really is a standard evil woman's face.
Yin Zhiyi said in a cold voice: "You go down, I don't need anyone here." Xiao Cui hesitated when she heard that. She knew that her young lady was a man of her word, but today... it was a full moon.
"Miss, why don't you wait for Master Yan to come back first..."
Yin Zhiyi didn't say anything, but just glanced at her coldly. Xiao Cui immediately realized that she had said too much, so she bowed and walked away.
She rubbed her brows and tried hard to recall the characters and plot.
Master Yan? The swallow time is full.
If she remembered correctly, this person seemed to be the tragic second male lead in the book.
Because of his special bloodline, he was raised as a life-saving cauldron and guard by the original owner's father in the early days.
However, Yin Zhiyi was not impressed by him. Compared with the vividness of other characters, she felt that the second male lead was as transparent as a background board. Her only impression of him was his wedding with the heroine at the end.
However, the marriage eventually ended in failure. The heroine broke off the engagement, the hero tried to steal the bride, and the grand wedding became a joke.
From what Xiao Cui said just now, it seemed that he was sent by the original owner to do something.
She was still recalling the plot when her eyes suddenly swept across a colorful paper doll on the table. When she looked closely, she saw a black silk thread emerging from it and floating straight up to the roof.
Yin Zhiyi's heart sank, and he quickly slapped the peach wood in his hand onto the paper.
Cut the black line directly.
Puppet thread!
In the plot, the appearance of evil spirits in the city is closely related to the paper-made items brought by foreign merchants.
I didn't expect that the City Lord's Mansion was also like this.
This paper doll was given by the original owner's second uncle yesterday. In the book, this second uncle was very kind to the original owner and gave a total of 1,600 paper dolls yesterday! Just to please the original owner.
Yin Zhiyi frowned slightly. It seemed that Second Uncle Yin might have bad intentions.
There is something wrong with this paper.
Her hands froze.
…She seemed to know where the second male lead had gone.
Two hours ago, the original owner was angry that her father believed the two charlatans, the male and female protagonists, and she had no place to vent her anger.
She wanted to make trouble for Yan Shiman. She didn't allow Yan Shiman to use any external force, and made him hang the 1,600 paper figurines in every yard!
You are not allowed to come back until you finish hanging up!
Now, these paper dolls are probably distributed in every corner of the City Lord's Mansion.
Yin Zhiyi felt a bit complicated, and gritted his teeth and said, "This is really the right time to come here!"
Originally, the paper-made dolls were stored in the warehouse, where they were not exposed to the moonlight and could not absorb any Yin energy. But now, those paper-made dolls have absorbed enough Yin energy. When midnight arrives, those paper-made dolls become puppets of the vengeful spirits.
If the evil spirit is not eliminated before midnight, the entire City Lord’s Mansion will be covered in blood!
The vengeful spirit will be more ferocious if it is stained with blood. If the original plot is reversed, that would be the most fatal thing.
After all, in the original plot, the original owner's tragic fate began with this infection by the evil spirit.
She originally wanted to repair the formation and wait for the hero and heroine to arrive.
Now it seems - I can’t wait any longer!
Yin Zhiyi bit his finger, and bright red blood oozed out from his round fingertips. He quickly drew a talisman on the bronze mirror with the blood. In an instant, the bronze mirror emitted a brilliant light, as bright as fire.
The bronze mirror hung in the air and flew outwards.
The night was as dark as ink. The vengeful spirit on the roof was waiting for the opportunity, but unexpectedly it was hit by a flying bronze mirror. The bronze mirror spun around and hit the tail of the vengeful spirit. The vengeful spirit reacted very quickly and swung its tail violently to knock it over.
At the same time, the bronze mirror shone brightly with golden light.
A big hole was burned in the vengeful spirit. It roared and tried to pull the bronze mirror away, but the pain of its soul being torn apart made it stop.
The figure of the vengeful spirit was blurry, like a few shadows pieced together, and it was impossible to tell what it was. Seeing it being forced to retreat step by step by the bronze mirror, Yin Zhiyi frowned instantly.
Something is wrong. It is too weak and can't even take shape. It is not the evil spirit that is about to become evil in the original book at all...
Before she could figure out what the problem was, the vengeful spirit flew over and tried to bite her again. Yin Zhiyi dodged by turning around, and the peach wood sword in her hand flew out and pierced the vengeful spirit's head fiercely. In an instant, the vengeful spirit twisted its body and became extremely manic.
The beams of the house could not bear the weight and suddenly collapsed, raising dust.
"Ahem." Yin Zhiyi waved away the dust in front of her eyes, and the vengeful spirit fell on the formation in the house as she expected. The formation sensed the evil breath and entangled the vengeful spirit like a dodder without leaving a trace of a gap, instantly strangling it into a pool of black water.
The bronze mirror lost the control of the magic formula and fell to the ground with a clang.
Yin Zhiyi was just about to check the formation.
Suddenly, she felt a chill approaching from behind. She turned around abruptly, her pupils suddenly dilated. It was a bloody short blade, shining with silver light, like a swift lightning in the sky, attacking her face with strong murderous intent!
She was unable to dodge, and the short blade scraped her neck, leaving a trail of blood, followed by a stinging sensation.
The short blade fell to the ground and turned into black mist and dissipated.
She reacted quickly and threw the bronze mirror on the ground towards the black shadow. With a loud bang, the black shadow disappeared.
Someone wants to kill her?
Yin Zhiyi covered the bloodstain on her neck and felt dizzy. As if she had some sense in her heart, she suddenly lifted up her sleeves, and black lines appeared on her arms!
It's evil spirit!
It turned out to be a dagger transformed from evil spirit!
Yin Zhiyi's uneasiness was magnified by this sudden sneak attack. A light flashed through her mind, so it was not an accident that the original owner was infected with evil spirit.
But it’s - man-made!
That person didn't want to infect the original owner, but wanted her life!
Suddenly, screams, footsteps and crying were heard outside the yard.
The sharp and terrified screams outside were like a thunder.
"——There is a demon!"
A layer of dense sweat instantly broke out on Yin Zhiyi's forehead.
Evil spirit? Apart from the two evil spirits who were fighting with the male and female protagonists in the city, how could there be evil spirits appear in the City Lord's Mansion at this time?
Even if it were to appear, it would probably be a month later.
The original owner and the protagonists left, the City Lord's Mansion was ravaged by evil spirits, the original owner's father died suddenly that night, and the City Lord's Mansion underwent a major reshuffle.
Could it be that the evil spirit was about to be catalyzed in advance? !
