Chapter 17: The Altar Goddess' Childbearing Talisman
Yin Zhiyi felt that there was something wrong with the woman at first sight. Her face was blue and there was black mist above her head.
It was obviously caused by being haunted by ghosts for a long time.
"etc!"
She wanted to move closer to take a closer look at the woman, but He Xi got in the way first.
The old village chief was anxious and angry, and fiercely shouted to the surrounding villagers: "Why don't you drag him back!"
Two strong men nearby swiftly grabbed a piece of cloth and forcefully stuffed it into the woman's mouth.
The woman looked like a madman, still flailing frantically towards the back mountain.
Yin Zhiyi could clearly see the crazy woman staring at her with sorrow in her eyes. She was crying.
Strange, so strange.
Yin Zhiyi frowned. She wanted to go forward, but the villagers around her were all staring at the woman with eager eyes, so she stopped again.
Since she came in, this crazy woman is the first...woman she has ever seen.
[He Xi just said that all the women in the village are helping out in the charity hall? 】
[It seems that the charity hall is also a clue to this copy.] 】
Yan Shiman frowned. It was that foul smell again. Ever since he entered the villa, there was this smell everywhere.
It's really disgusting.
Suddenly, the faint fragrance from last night emerged in his mind. His deep gaze fell on the girl and he took a step forward unnoticed.
Sure enough, he immediately smelled that familiar fragrance again.
Unlike the strong scent of makeup on her body, the fragrance was extremely light and elegant.
The foul smell in the air was instantly diluted, and Yan Shiman's frown relaxed slightly.
Yin Zhiyi wore an extremely eye-catching goose yellow dress today, with gemstones embellished around her waist. With her gorgeous appearance, she attracted a lot of attention in the crowd.
Yan Shiman glanced at her fair neck inch by inch and revealed a satisfied smile. If it was made into a human skin puppet, he would definitely decorate it more exquisitely.
Until his eyes fell on the pink bow on his wrist. She seemed to like the bright color.
He paused for a moment, then tore off the strip of cloth and put it into his sleeve.
Yin Zhiyi always felt something creepy behind him, as if something was staring at him.
When she turned around, she saw the second male lead folding two strips of cloth neatly and putting them into his sleeves. Although he was still holding the sword in his hand, he inexplicably looked a little obedient.
[I like this kind.] 】
[Perfect match.] 】
Yin Zhiyi was a little envious of the original owner. The second male lead was not only good-looking and had a good personality, but he also listened to the original owner and became incredibly powerful later on.
It's the perfect match for the mission.
Unlike when she was doing missions in the Taoist Association before, she met only stupid teammates whose magic was so bad that it looked like they had just been born naturally, and they were always a drag.
Because of this accident, the old village chief and his group left first.
When he left, his eyes wandered between Yin Zhiyi and Yan Shiman.
In the end, only a dull cold snort was left.
After the people left, He Xi laughed dryly: "Haha, sorry to have made you two laugh."
Yan Shiman was still immersed in Yin Zhiyi's thoughts just now. He did not hear the second sentence, but he heard the first one.
like? What do you like?
Yin Zhiyi: "Boss He, what was that just now?"
Seeing Yin Zhiyi's curiosity, He Xi explained with a bit of regret in his tone, "That was the little girl of the old village chief. Unfortunately, she had a bad fate. She was pregnant for ten months and when she was about to give birth, the baby turned out to be stillborn. She became ill due to worry and became insane at a young age. She has to act up from time to time."
"The village chief's daughter?"
It would have been better if He Xi hadn't said it. After he mentioned it, Yin Zhiyi recalled the appearance of the woman just now and was surprised to find that she did look somewhat similar to the old village chief.
【daughter? The village chief doesn’t look like…】
"Yes."
Yin Zhiyi wanted to find out something more.
But He Xi didn't seem to want to continue talking.
Instead, he began to ask: "Why is Miss Yin here?"
"Looking for someone."
Yin Zhiyi looked at He Xi with burning eyes: "The little girl who came with us just now."
As she spoke, she observed He Xi's expression: "That girl was too playful and disappeared in the blink of an eye. I wonder if Boss He saw her?"
He Xi thought for a moment, as if recalling the little girl Yin Zhiyi mentioned, and smiled: "I haven't seen her... But please rest assured, Miss Yin, the scenery in the villa is beautiful, the people are simple and honest, and the villagers are warm and hospitable. Miss Yin, don't worry."
After saying that, he seemed to remember the scene of the villagers holding sticks just now, and added awkwardly: "It was all a misunderstanding just now, a misunderstanding. Most of the time, the villagers are warm and hospitable."
Seeing that he did not look guilty at all, Yin Zhiyi tightened her hand holding the pearl flower and could not help but feel a little suspicious.
Either Boss He’s acting skills are really great, or there’s someone else who abducted Liyou.
She thought of the old village chief again.
[They don’t look like good people.] 】
Yin Zhiyi had a headache. It was one thing to travel through a book, but he also had to find the murderer behind the scenes.
[Fortunately, this is just a small boss. The big villain will not appear until Xianyun County. 】
As long as she gets rid of this evil spirit, she will immediately part ways with the protagonists.
Thinking of this, Yin Zhiyi's expression looked much better.
She smiled at He Xi and said, "Boss He, you can go to the charity to help out, but I can't be the only one."
He Xi originally didn't know how to bring up this matter, but Yin Zhiyi pointed it out. However, he was also a little embarrassed about breaking the village rules.
He turned his gaze towards Yan Shiman, and then he met a pair of calm and clear eyes, which looked harmless.
Although... he always felt that this Young Master Yan was a little weird.
Finally, he had no choice but to agree: "Then let's start from tomorrow."
But unexpectedly, Yin Zhiyi said in an uncharacteristic way: "No need, let's do it tonight."
He Xi was stunned.
Then he heard the man in front of him smile and continue, "Boss He, we are in a hurry to get on the road. It's urgent."
On the way back.
[This body can last for three days.] 】
Yin Zhiyi hopes that the problem can be solved as soon as possible. After all, being infected by evil spirits is very painful.
She looked at the faint silver light in her hand that changed direction.
Logically speaking, her spell shouldn't go wrong. Could it be that the setting in the book caused problems when she used her spell?
I don’t know what’s going on with the male and female protagonists?
Yan Shiman felt the vibration of the puppet thread in his palm.
His brows were slightly furrowed.
The faint breath that was there just now completely disappeared at this moment.
This was the puppet thread he had used to imprison the little mute girl.
But now it's broken.
He sneered in his heart, thinking of the rotten smell he had smelled earlier.
It was becoming more and more interesting. As he expected, there were a lot of dirty things under the Forget-Your-Troubles Villa.
He glanced at Yin Zhiyi standing beside him, and a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It seems like he is looking forward to the show starting.
As soon as they arrived at the He Mansion, they ran into the returning male and female protagonists head-on.
Yin Zhiyi saw the person in Ji Ci’s arms at a glance.
It’s the sorrow of separation.
But he had already fainted.
"What's going on?"
"Nothing wrong, I was just put into a sleeping spell."
Yin Zhiyi felt much more at ease after hearing this.
Bai Zhixing was wearing a purple dress, which greatly reduced the coldness on her face.
In the past, she always wore white clothes and carried a long sword, looking ethereal and otherworldly. It was rare for her to feel so down-to-earth.
Yin Zhiyi inexplicably felt that the three of them standing together looked like a family of three.
Ji Ci frowned, his impatience evident in his expression. Compared with his tall and straight figure, Li You looked like a little chick nestled in his arms.
Bai Zhixing said coldly: "Let's talk about it after we go in."
Yin Zhiyi looked at the scattered villagers on the long straight street. Although there were not as many as before, his eyes would fall on them from time to time.
It was obvious that they were being monitored.
Fortunately, He Xi did not arrange anyone in the house except a few maids and servants.
Ji Ci dismissed him with just two words.
Bai Zhixing took out a talisman paper that he had just taken from Li You, looked at Yin Zhiyi solemnly and said, "Ms. Yin, now I have good news and bad news..."
In fact, Yin Zhiyi was a little intimidated by Bai Zhixing's serious tone. She was really the eldest sister of the Taizong Sect, so she quickly interrupted and said, "Let's make it clear first."
"We found where the moon-seeing grass grows."
"It's definitely in the paper-making factory."
Yin Zhiyi became alert instantly.
She was suspicious: [Something is wrong. In the original book, it was not found until the last day. 】
Yan Shi glanced at her without leaving any trace, and said gently: "Master Bai Tian, what about the bad news?"
Bai Zhixing's brows furrowed even tighter in an instant: "The paper-making factory is indeed related to the 'Goddess's Child-Giving Talisman'. We found an altar there."
“Not only that, many of the villagers in this villa have a foul smell on their bodies.” Ji Ci added while frowning in disgust.
Rancid smell?
When Yin Zhiyi heard Ji Ci's words, he instantly remembered that this seemed to be a special ability of the male protagonist in the book.
He can smell the stench of most evil cultivators. With this golden finger, he and the heroine have avoided several crises.
The definition of evil cultivators in this novel seems to be very broad. Not only the heavenly masters who practice by relying on things like ghost energy and evil spirits, but also those who rely on offering sacrifices to ghosts and monsters to gain benefits are all called evil cultivators.
[It seems that the plot has changed again. We can only take it one step at a time. 】
Yin Zhiyi heard the situation and told the villagers about the conflict she had just had with them, the forbidden area on the back hill, and what the old village chief and Boss He had said about her going to the charity hall tonight.
After hearing this, Bai Zhixing's face became more serious, but Ji Ci sneered and said, "They probably want to offer you to that big ghost. Yes, your extremely yin body is indeed a great tonic for that ghost."
Yin Zhiyi's brows tightened instantly.
After Ji Ci said this, she remembered the special nature of the original owner's body. In the past, her body could be described as a congenital holy body for catching ghosts.
Bai Zhixing glanced at Ji Ci coldly: "Okay, Ah Ci, why do you have to scare Miss Yin like this? There must be something wrong with this charity."
Ji Ci snorted coldly, but finally shut up.
Bai Zhixing thought for a few breaths and said, "Ms. Yin, I will go in your place tonight."
"No need." Yin Zhiyi refused. It wasn't that she wanted to show off, but she had to go. "If you go, it will alert the enemy."
After that, he added, "Yan Shiman, accompany me."
Yan Shiman said calmly: "Of course, wherever the young lady is, I will be there."
[This second male lead is just like the loyal guard in the novel, and his words are so warm. 】
Yin Zhiyi was a little touched. If it weren't for the limitations of his character, she would actually like the second male lead very much.
A loyal guard?
Yan Shi had a smile on his face but it didn't reach his eyes.
He suddenly looked forward to tonight, but he must not be let down.
