870 Escaped Spirits
s is not difficult, Lao Lu and his team have professionals in criminal investigation who can tell... You see here, doesn't it look like a snake coiling its neck when it strikes"SnakeThis woman's natal...Mu Wanchen shook her head. "How is that possible This matter was suspicious from the start. If her soul spirit didn't truly return, it means it had already been imprisoned before the ritual began, and someone then swapped it with another evil spirit to enter the paper person's body."
"Whether or not you wronged her isn't the most important thing right now, the priority is figuring out if your hair was taken."
“That paper man was burned by half of my talisman power. When he fled to the west courtyard, he was already crippled and could no longer be a vessel. His soul also escaped… If his purpose was your hair, perhaps it wasn't taken – a soulless being can't get your hair. I'll go back and look properly later.”
Hearing Mu Wanchen's words, the fire in my heart subsided by half. I asked in a low voice, "Then what should we do The old monster wants to catch me, Siyun is still hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and now another arrogant little miss has come to make things worse. I can't defend myself! It's not even safe to stay at home!"
“I had a feeling before that there were old monsters' eyes within the sect. They are deeply rooted, even the movements of a little girl are utilized. Perhaps Chu Ling could still attract these people… I can’t explain too much, don’t be angry first.”
He sighed.
Um... actually, he didn't really want to explain so much. I could hear what he meant—he wouldn't punish Chuling immediately because she could still attract those people who wanted to harm me.
Well, that makes me feel a lot better.
"Then you deal with it yourself. It's really infuriating, this little girl has a wicked heart!" I said loudly on purpose for Lian Chuling to hear.
She looked defiant, relying on her connections and showing no intention of apologizing.
I thought to myself, you can't possibly become the witch queen, so why bother with this ridiculous jealousy
It seems like lighters are going to be essential from now on, paper people and straw figures are more afraid of fire.
The school heartthrob president and his team were wrapping up their shoot and preparing to head back. The person in charge of filming was looking backwards at what they had captured.
I walked over to take a look and happened to capture the moment when that classmate slipped and fell into the water.
They couldn't see it, but I did. There was a blurry black shape in the water.
This must be something in the water... wait until the park closes, then ask Mu Wanchen to come and have a look.
But my backyard has this park that's open, even after dinner lots of older men and women come for walks until around 10pm when it starts to clear out.
Mu Wanchen used the Gu spirits to rummage through my house, finding several strands of my hair. However, no one knows if this is all of it.
He took out a talisman, folded one of my hairs into it, and pricked a drop of blood onto his fingertips.
"Keep this paper figurine with you at all times, don't lose it." Mu Wanchen said in a deep voice.
"What's this for" I held the paper man's little head in my hand.
"...When the time comes, you'll know what to do." He was unwilling to elaborate.
Witchcraft, that's what it is, so mysterious.
I rolled my eyes in displeasure, and he glared at me. "I see that all your senior brothers and sisters do morning and evening practice every day. Why don't you"
Well... I'm, I'm lazy.
"Magic depends on talent and bloodline, but Taoism has classics and inheritances. You can start by learning Taoism. Mu Xia Qiao's cultivation also started with Taoism. She never slacked off on her daily morning and evening exercises or the tasks she was supposed to do." He frowned slightly and said, "You don't need to be too strong, at least have some self-defense ability."
I scratched my head. "Alright, I'll start doing my homework tomorrow, but tonight, you have to take me to the park... just in case there are any monsters around my house."
Mu Wanchen was different from his master. His master was a revered immortal, governing the underworld. The ghosts and spirits under his command were more enlightened in their thoughts, otherwise they wouldn't be able to cultivate immortality.
Among Mu Wanchen's subordinates, there were all sorts of people with their own agendas.
Seven emotions and six desires, five aggregates and six poisons.
Everything.
Therefore, it's even more difficult to unite everyone, it still boils down to a group of people with extraordinary abilities.
People who have too much on their minds tend to be very quiet. They don't know where to begin speaking, nor do they know who to confide in.
Lian Chuling being used as bait for the time being was left unaddressed. Mu Wanchen said that he had already informed Lian Long to come and take her back.
"Those who drown are all good swimmers, and those who die recklessly are all brave. Even the little Miss Chúlíng, if she doesn't change her mind and temper soon, one day she will play with fire and burn herself." I said to Mù Wǎnchén.
Mu Wanchen shook his head and said, "Disciplining her is Lian Long's business. I don't have that much time."
I walked to the edge of the lake, where that male classmate had fallen in today.
This is a small step leading to the shallow water area. Underneath the shallow water area, there are several layers of stone slabs. If someone's phone falls here usually, the staff will help them fish it out.
Even if you jump here, you'll only get water up to your shins, unless you're a fool and walk into the deep end.
As dusk approached, the park was deserted and empty.
I walked to the bottom of the steps, just one step away from the water.
Mu Wanchen reached out and took my hand on the steps, asking with some resignation, "Do you really have to be bait yourself"
"Or will you come then Ordinary demons and ghosts would probably be scared off by you, who would even show up!"
He sighed and squatted down on the steps, reaching out for me. I crouched down and stirred the lake water.
I haven't found anything unusual yet. I was just about to speak when a man and woman's voices suddenly spoke up.
“Ugh, someone's bound to come here.”
Huh
I slightly raised my head, peering out from under the stairs, and saw a couple of eager young people under the trees by the shore.
Open-air parks are just asking for trouble! These wild ducks come in for the thrills without paying a dime.
That man was hurriedly unbuttoning his pants, and I certainly didn't want to watch them have a passionate encounter here. I deliberately said loudly, "Oh my, it's so cold tonight! Let's go home!"
Mù Wǎnchén was taken aback.
The men and women there were startled, raising their heads to look around for the source of the sound.
I crouched down on the steps, in the darkness they couldn't see me. The woman was tugging at her shoulder strap while grumbling to the man: "You said there was no one here..."
The man was a little embarrassed, and he shouted into the empty darkness: "Who is peeking! Be careful of getting needle eyes!"
"Staring at me like that, you're getting off in public and blaming others for looking What a shameless nerve! Get lost or I'll call the police." I said slowly from my spot on the steps.
The other party was guilty and hurriedly pulled up their clothes and ran.
"Hmph..." I stood up and looked at their embarrassed backs: "Audacious."
Mu Wanchen shook his head and said, "Don't fool around, let's go look somewhere else."
I nodded and was about to leave when I suddenly heard a strange splashing sound.
Like a pebble dropped into a pond.
Looking back, a wave like an arrow broke through the water's surface and rushed onto the shallows in an instant.
I was taken aback for a moment, a wave of icy air suddenly biting at the hem of my skirt —ely, and they are both very strong-willed people. They tell you what to do and what to eat, leaving little room for negotiation. Over time, even the pampered "princes" couldn't take it anymore and tri...
