Chapter 538 The Guo Family’s Situation
The cold wind gently lifted the hem of Si He's clothes. At the same time, the talisman on her waist began to sway gently, and the gray fog around her stopped two feet away from her and could no longer get closer. She walked slowly forward, and the gray fog slowly retreated, always keeping a certain distance.
The cold wind was blowing quietly and bitingly.
The closer you get to the front hall, the more you can feel the eerie atmosphere there.
There are a lot of talismans pasted on the door of the front hall, but they are not suppressing talismans, but talismans to attract evil, so there are so many evil auras around.
However, several treasures that suppress evil spirits are placed at certain locations in front of the door, just to prevent the things inside from leaving this range.
Si He stood in front of the steps, about two meters away from the door. She looked at the closed door and after a while, she said, "Come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, followed by a loud 'bang'. It was the sound of the door opening and slamming to both sides, and it was pitch black inside.
At this time, the moon was hidden in the clouds. Without the moonlight, the front yard fell into darkness and it was so quiet that there was not even the sound of the wind.
The air all around was filled with an evil aura that made people feel uneasy. It seemed as if this place was not the world of the living, but the realm of the dead.
At this time, a figure slowly walked out of the door.
"Tap, tap, tap—"
The sound of slow footsteps was particularly clear in the quiet night.
The figure walked out of the gate and finally stopped in front of the steps. It could not get out because of the suppressing treasures around it.
It was still pitch black here, but Si He could see clearly in the darkness, and she could clearly see the figure in front of her.
This is the body of Mrs. Guo, but its appearance has changed so much that it is almost unrecognizable from its original form.
Mrs. Guo's skin was covered with corpse spots, like moldy wall paint, and some places had begun to peel off. Her eyes were pale white, without pupils, and her lips were rotten, revealing the blackened teeth inside. Her whole body exuded a disgusting and unpleasant odor.
In fact, the soul of Mrs. Guo had long been eaten by the remnant soul of Zhilian. The one occupying this body now was a ghost that Si He had replaced in order to conceal her tracks.
Si He stared at the body in front of him seriously. Judging from the condition of this ghost, it was much stronger than before and seemed to be about to recover to its peak state.
This ghost was the one she had captured at the post station before. It was originally raised by the monk named Chang Ling. Later, she used it to deal with the Taoists who attacked Yue Fuli. The ghost had become very weak since then, so she finally took advantage of it and replaced it into the body of Mrs. Guo.
Seeing the current situation, Si He was a little surprised. She didn't expect that it was not only fine, but also well nourished.
However, considering the situation of the Guo family, it is normal. Those Taoists will naturally not miss this opportunity to cultivate it.
"Ho~ho~"
'Old Lady Guo' called out to Si He twice, her face ferocious. However, although she looked terrifying and had become stronger, she was not refined by those Taoists and was still under her control.
Si He narrowed her eyes and stared at it for a while. Because she had been away for too long and it had become stronger, she could feel that her control over it had loosened. She estimated that after some time, it would slowly break free from her control.
But even so, it cannot leave the Guo family and will eventually fall into the hands of those Taoists. It will be refined to be very obedient and driven by others. Unless it has great luck and is smart enough, it can escape from this cage.
Si He withdrew her gaze and looked towards the house. The yin energy inside was still terrifyingly thick, and it was obvious that there was something else there.
"Lead the way."
After Si He said something to "Mrs. Guo", it slowly turned around and walked back into the house.
'Ta, tap, tap——'
Its footsteps sounded a bit heavy, and if you looked closely, you could faintly see a faint gray mist rising from the soles of its feet with every step it took.
Si He then followed it and walked into the house.
Since she entered the house, the talisman on her waist has been shaking more and more violently.
There were also many talismans to ward off evil spirits pasted in the room. When the cold wind blew, the talismans rose and fell, making a slight sound.
There were also some runes drawn on the ground. They were dark brown in color. I don’t know what kind of blood they were drawn with, but it had already solidified. The air was filled with an unpleasant fishy smell, and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.
The most eye-catching thing is the row of small coffins placed on the main table in the main hall. Those coffins are very small, slightly larger than bamboo tubes, about one foot long, arranged very neatly, and surrounded by black air.
And in front of these coffins, there is a special small coffin placed alone.
Si He glanced around and finally stopped her gaze on the small coffin.
This coffin was the same size as the others, only slightly larger than a palm. It was pitch black with red runes painted on the surface. The most eye-catching thing was that a dark gem was embedded in the coffin lid. The gem was the size of a fingernail, and it emitted a captivating cold light.
This is the place in the entire house where the evil aura is the strongest.
Si He was very familiar with that black gemstone. It was the Yin Gathering Stone!
However, this Yin Gathering Stone is relatively small, not even as big as the one she placed in Tianshan, so its effect is relatively small. Despite this, this thing is still very terrifying. If an ordinary person gets close to it, he will definitely be in trouble.
Under the effect of the Yin-Gathering Stone, thick black air surrounded the small coffin, but because there was a bronze talisman nailed on each of the four corners of the table and a lot of talisman paper was pasted on it, the aura was prevented from spreading outward.
Si He walked forward a few steps and carefully looked at the small coffin, as well as the runes and talisman nails on the table.
And 'Mrs. Guo' stood silently at the side, her eyes wide open, staring at her motionlessly, at most making occasional 'ho ho' gasping sounds, like a frozen walking corpse.
After looking for a while, Si He took out a pair of gloves, put them on, and then reached out to touch the small coffin on the table.
When she touched the small coffin, she felt a bone-chilling coldness in her hands.
Although this was nothing to her, if she was exposed to it for a long time, the evil energy in her body would be stimulated and it would be difficult to suppress it. So she moved quickly, opened the coffin lid in one go, and then put it aside.
The small coffin was also filled with thick black air, and it was impossible to see what was inside, but the next moment, a sharp and piercing cry came from it, like a baby crying. Although the sound was not loud, it was very penetrating and exuded a strong sense of weirdness, as if it could spread that horrifying sense of panic to the bottom of people's hearts.
Si He stared at it with a cold and sharp gaze, ready to kill it at any time.
