Chapter 27: Detecting Two Altars
When Yin Zhiyi arrived, he saw Fu Xiaoqi lying on the ground with black gas coming out of his body and a golden talisman paper hovering above his head.
Bai Zhixing's voice suddenly came: "Who gave this to you?"
"Contact person..."
"Do you know what the people who come to pick up the goods every month look like?" She showed a rare hint of anxiety.
Fu Xiaoqi's eyes were confused, and he spoke intermittently: "The woman... was wearing purple clothes..."
As she spoke, traces of blood suddenly appeared on her skin.
Black gas began to emerge from above his head.
It was in a confrontation with the golden talisman paper controlled by Ji Ci.
Fu Xiaoqi covered her head with her hands. It felt like her head was being hit by a heavy hammer. Two forces were trying to seize control of her body. She wailed in pain and passed out.
A flame ignited at Ji Ci's fingertips, and the talisman paper turned into ashes in an instant.
"Someone cast a curse on her before us. We won't be able to get any information out of her even if we ask her further."
He looked at Bai Zhixing inquiringly, and then his eyes fell on the jade pendant with a lotus pattern in her hand.
Six-petal lotus.
This is what just fell from Fu Xiaoqi.
The last time Zhixing valued it so much was the jade talisman on the guard's body.
Of course he knew why Bai Zhixing cared so much about it. After all, this lotus was the most iconic thing of Shen Qiushui, who had betrayed his master.
The eldest sister of the former Southern School Heavenly Master and the head disciple has been missing for so many years.
Regardless of whether the things they were investigating were related to Shen Qiu Shui, as long as Shen Qiu Shui was found, the Southern School Heavenly Master's treasure, the 'Peacock Feather', would also be found.
The legendary treasure that can defeat hundreds of ghosts by itself and predict the past and present lives.
Ji Ci’s eyes moved slightly.
"The person who can cast this curse must be an evil cultivator with profound skills."
Bai Zhixing concealed her disappointment, her eyes grew colder, "I just didn't expect that this spell could cover up the ghost aura. No wonder I didn't notice anything was wrong with her before."
Yin Zhiyi's tone was somewhat anxious: "Where is Liyou? Isn't she with you?"
"She just said that she was not feeling well and stayed in the He Mansion without coming out."
When Bai Zhixing came out, she put a talisman at the foot of her bed. As long as there was any noise, she would know it immediately.
Moreover, her eyes moved slightly: "I left the breastplate to her."
"What's wrong?"
Yin Zhiyi said in a deep voice: "I just saw Fu Linzhou, he is not dead."
"And the person who kidnapped Liyou earlier was not He Xi, but him. He Xi killed Fu Yongchuan, and he has been planning revenge. He also said that tonight is his last chance."
Bai Zhixing's eyebrows jumped and couldn't help but frown a little.
She recalled Li You's hesitant expression last time, and said with certainty: "Li You knew that the person who kidnapped her was Fu Linzhou."
Ji Ci sneered: "I knew that the mute girl was not on the same page with us."
Yin Zhiyi: "However, Fu Linzhou seems to want to sacrifice her."
This kind of evil sacrifice method is equivalent to a bloody transaction.
A thought suddenly popped up in her mind: [Could it be that Fu Linzhou wants to resurrect his adoptive father? 】
Bai Zhixing's eyes flashed with coldness, and she hesitated at the end: "Sacrifice? Could it be that in addition to the altar for 'raising evil spirits with corpses', there is another altar hidden in the paper-making factory?"
For a moment, everyone had an ugly look on their faces.
"However, tonight is also our last chance."
"He Xi and the others must have sensed something, otherwise they wouldn't have cursed Fu Xiaoqi. This time is different from the past. This time all the children in the charity hall have been selected and will be sent to Xianyun County."
“This is killing the goose that lays the eggs.”
"If we are not mistaken, He Xi will get rid of all these children tonight."
But, why did Fu Linzhou mention "tonight"?
Yin Zhiyi felt that she had a miserable life as the plot went on one after another.
Bai Zhixing told her that the journey was dangerous, and as long as Yin Zhiyi agreed, she could immediately arrange a passenger ship to take her back to Yunsang.
She lowered her eyes and looked coldly at the girl in front of her. In fact, she was a little selfish and did not suggest sending Yan Shiman back.
Although after spending some time with the city lord's daughter, I found that she is not as domineering as the rumors in the mansion, but her previous bad behavior is a fact that has been established. It may not be a bad idea to send her back early.
But Yin Zhiyi certainly disagreed.
Not to mention that the plot line is a mess.
Just talking about the mission target of the second male lead, she can't move at all.
--
At night, Wangyou Villa completely lost the liveliness that was deliberately created during the day. The silent forest coupled with the gusts of cold wind made the whole town seem extremely desolate.
Yin Zhiyi shook off the little ghost that had climbed onto his shoulder.
He complained in his heart: [This physique is really prone to attracting evil spirits. 】
It’s a good thing it was her, if it was the original owner she would have really fallen for it.
As soon as she left the yard, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind the tree at an extremely fast speed, and the talisman paper on her fingertips was about to be used.
Fortunately, a clear voice sounded in her ears at the right time.
"Why are you out in the middle of the night, young lady?"
It’s Yan Shiman.
Yin Zhiyi felt relieved and put away the talisman in his hand, even with a bit of trust that he was not aware of.
She was clearly on guard against him in the morning, but now she inexplicably felt that this man would not harm her.
However, I was suddenly startled and couldn't help but complain in my heart: "Why are you walking like a ghost? No, ghosts at least have ghost aura, which is silent and scarier than ghosts themselves. 】
The young man had a thin figure, and his jade-white cheeks seemed covered with a hazy veil in the moonlight.
The corners of her eyes are upturned and her lips are bright red, as if she had just dipped them in rouge.
A standard smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yan Shiman listened to the inner voice and said quietly, "Didn't Master Bai Tian tell Miss to stay in the room and not come out tonight? What's wrong with Miss?"
Yin Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat at the sound.
Only then did I realize that I had accidentally lost my focus.
This face really suits her aesthetic taste.
Cough cough.
She suppressed the strange feeling rising in her heart and said, "Master Bai Tian also told me to leave by boat tonight?"
Isn't she still here?
It was obvious that she had never been someone who would listen to orders.
I couldn't help but think: [Besides, tonight is destined to be uneasy. Even if I don't leave the house, I may not be safe. It's better to stay with the hero and heroine. The protagonist's halo can at least take care of me, a cannon fodder. 】
[Otherwise, if you were really kidnapped, no one would know.] 】
After all, although she is very skilled in catching ghosts, if a few burly men come directly, her two fists are no match for four hands. With her physical condition, she might as well surrender directly.
Originally, she wanted to say that she was afraid it was unsafe to stay in the house and wanted to go to the paper-making factory to find the male and female protagonists.
But seeing Yan Shiman staring at her with burning eyes, she remembered the compensation she had said before.
As the words turned in my mind, I said, "You were not in the house. I was afraid that you were in danger, so I came out to look for you."
After saying this, I secretly gave myself a thumbs up for my high emotional intelligence.
"So, Miss is worried about me."
Yan Shi looked at the yard behind her with profound satisfaction.
When Yin Zhiyi opened the door, a draught happened to blow through, and the cold air brought out the stench in the yard.
It was a sickening smell.
It was exactly the same smell he had smelled on the old village chief last time.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the yard.
A hint of coldness flashed across Yan Shiman's eyes.
It was quick, but unfortunately I had no luck.
