Chapter 149 The Dirt That Wasn't Cleaned Up
Si He lay on the wall, watching them leave thoughtfully, feeling that everything was going a little too smoothly.
Thinking back to the dangerous feeling that thing gave her last night, it should have been quite powerful, but the Taoist priest dealt with it not long after entering the house. Could it be that he was so powerful?
But for some reason, from what I saw just now, that person didn't seem like someone with extraordinary abilities.
Perhaps, you can't judge a book by its cover?
"What are you looking at? Go away!" The servants in the yard began to urge away those who were climbing the wall around, including her.
Si He completely retracted her head and sat on the chair. Instead of going back immediately, she leaned against the wall and recalled what had just happened.
However, she thought about it for a while and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the "things" next door had been cleaned up and she could have some peace and quiet for a while. After all, such a thing had just happened, with evil spirits and death. No one should live here in the short term.
She was about to get off the chair, but when she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of a rune painted on the wall.
This is a rune to ward off evil spirits.
The rune is only as big as a palm and is drawn with light golden ink. Since the wall is made of yellow mud bricks, you won’t notice it unless you look closely.
I don’t know when Ning Ji painted it, but judging from the traces, it must have been some time ago.
She turned around and looked directly at the runes on the wall, examining them carefully.
The lines of the runes are as winding and smooth as a dragon. Some places are drawn very delicately, while others are rough and powerful. These lines are intertwined to form a mysterious and complex pattern, which looks very exquisite.
These days, she has been learning this kind of knowledge from Ning Ji, and she has reached the entry-level level and has a basic understanding of it.
But she has never drawn talismans.
Cinnabar is commonly used to draw talismans, but this material is not fixed.
The pale gold ink in front of him was extracted from special herbs and minerals. Its effect in suppressing evil spirits was no less than cinnabar, but the ore required was too precious, so it was not widely used.
She looked at the rune carefully, thinking about practicing it later.
At this moment, her expression suddenly paused, and she looked down at the talisman hanging around her waist. It moved again!
An inexplicable sense of weirdness came over me.
It seems that the 'thing' in the house next door has not been cleaned up!
Si He slowly stood up, returned to the chair, leaned against the wall, and looked towards the house next door.
There were several servants cleaning the yard, clearing the bloodstains on the ground. Someone came out of the house carrying a basin of water, the water in the basin was stained a light red.
They were busy working, their movements were quite efficient, but while they were working, they were discussing what had happened before in a low voice, and there was still some fear on their faces.
It looked normal, but Si He knew that something was wrong in the yard in front of her, because the talisman on her waist had not stopped moving and was still shaking gently!
She narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the people in the yard, looking carefully at everything in the yard, including everything in it.
Suddenly, a cleaning maid poured out the dirty water in the basin, slowly turned around, and looked at Si He on the wall with a cold gaze.
Those deep eyes were very strange, revealing a hint of hostility and coldness. Those ghost-like eyes were creepy.
Si He pursed her lips slightly, her eyes fixed on the strange maid. At this moment, the maid suddenly opened her mouth and showed her a strange smile.
The people in the yard did not notice the strangeness of the maid, but instead saw Si He on the wall first.
"Hey! I wonder if the young lady has taken a fancy to us and is still peeping at us?"
A servant started teasing Si He as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, they were just ordinary people, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
When the others heard this, they all laughed, stopped what they were doing, and looked at the pretty face on the wall.
The servants all knew a little about Si He's identity. The main thing was that the two houses belonged to the second wife. The master of the second house had a mistress a while ago, so he sold the house. It was said that he sold it to an ordinary family.
The reason why they knew it so clearly was because the second wife dealt with the concubine in a tyrannical way, which caused quite a stir. Mr. Huang Dashan and Mrs. Huang had a big quarrel over this, which led to everyone in the mansion knowing some of the inside story.
Now that the host is not around, they joke around and relax.
Si He looked at the servant who was speaking with a slightly gloomy expression, but before she could say anything, the others also started to tease him.
"Huzi, maybe I really like you."
"Tsk tsk ~ How indecent! You don't have to be so blatant when looking at men. You really are a foxy person. You know how to seduce men." A maid in green holding a broom also made sarcastic remarks, looking at Si He with contempt.
Anger appeared on Si He's face, but she looked at the strange maid holding the basin again.
At this moment, she had lowered her eyes, holding the basin of water, and stood there quietly, but if you looked closely, you could see a slightly ferocious look on her face.
At this time, the sky was dark and the wind was cold.
The gloomy atmosphere in the house seemed to be even heavier, and a strange chill rose from the soles of my feet.
The servants in the yard all trembled subconsciously. They didn't think much about it at first, but saw that Si He didn't look at them at all, but stared straight in one direction.
Following her gaze, they looked at Hongzhu, the maid holding the basin of water, not far away.
Only then did they realize that something was wrong with Hongzhu's condition. She lowered her head, her eyelids drooped slightly, her face twitched slightly, and her expression was a little ferocious.
They were suddenly panicked, thinking that the immortal master had not cleaned up the "dirt" here before, and the red beads must have been contaminated with "dirt"!
Sure enough, the next moment, Hongzhu suddenly raised her head and glanced at the people around her with a cold gaze. There was a terrifying light in her eyes that made people's backs chill!
Her face was also very ferocious, and she didn't look like a normal person at all.
This is definitely a case of being possessed by evil spirits!
They immediately dropped the things in their hands in panic and ran out at the same time!
They ran to the gate of the yard, but couldn't open the door no matter what!
The door seemed to be imprisoned by a strange force. The bolt was stuck tightly and could not be moved at all. No matter how they rammed it, the door was strangely strong.
'Hongzhu' looked at the few people who ran to the gate of the courtyard, and walked towards them step by step with a strange expression.
The people at the gate turned around and looked behind them, watching the possessed Hongzhu slowly approaching. They were so scared that they banged on the door even more frantically, and were almost about to cry!
"Help! Someone! Save us!"
"Don't hurt us, we have no grudges against each other, please!"
"Wow~ I don't want to die! Let us out!"
