Chapter 2: Night of Horror
Gu Li sat cross-legged in the hall and was silent.
Originally, after he finished doing the rituals, he planned to return to the Taoist temple and continue to practice with his master Qingyuanzi.
But when passing by this town, he suddenly met Jia Yuanwai, and pulled him alive and called him for help.
With his heart, Gu Li followed him to the gate of Jiafu.
At that time, he relied on the cultivation of spiritual power to transform qi, and after infusing his spiritual power into his eyes, he saw the thick cold power in the sky above Jiafu.
It was obviously a bright day, but these cold forces blocked the yang energy and enveloped the entire Jia Mansion, as if it was in the night.
In addition, he was naturally inspired and had a strong sense of mystery, so from then on, he planned to explore what was going on in Jiafu.
But...
"Now, if you don't tell me the reason clearly, I won't care about you."
After opening his eyes and seeing Jia Yuanwai wake up in horror, Gu Li glanced at him and said, "Now I can also see that the female ghost is obviously coming for you." β
Hearing Gu Li's words, Jia Yuanwai said with a frightened expression: "Dao Dao Chief! You must save Jia's life!! I'll say everything!! β
Gu Li looked at him calmly, and just as he was waiting for him to speak, a chill came out, and he turned his head sharply to look at the door of the hall.
A white figure stood quietly, making the candle light around him seem to dim a lot.
The face of the female ghost in white was still blocked by thick black hair, but everyone who saw her seemed to have their voices stifled, and could only look at her in fear without words.
"What the hellβ"
"Run!! Run"
"Pull it off, I'm woooooooo
...
In an instant, all the fear exploded, and seven or eight of the men began to shout and run towards the back.
"Quiet!"
Gu Li's voice contained spiritual power, and after calming everyone in panic, his expression condensed slightly, his long sword trembled slightly, and his figure disappeared in place.
When she reappeared, she had already come to the white-clothed female ghost, and a long sword slashed down with the momentum of cutting everything.
The long black hair instantly became longer, and the black scene rolled up to face the long sword that emitted a glimmer of light.
Hiss!
As soon as the two came into contact, the long sword slashed directly as if it was not hindered, splitting the female ghost in half.
Silently looking at the figure that disappeared after being split in half, Gu Li frowned.
Although the doppelganger of the female ghost in white didn't even have aura into her body, the other party's body did not appear, and Gu Li had no way to take the other party.
Back in the hall, looking at the three scared and crying children, Gu Li shook his head lightly, and said indifferently to Jia Yuanwai: "In the morning, you dragged me to Jiafu, only to say that the house was haunted, and asked me to help you exorcise ghosts." β
"Although the master often says that if you encounter a demon, you must kill it, but I also have my own thoughts, and I will not stubbornly think that all demons deserve to die."
Speaking of this, Gu Li paused slightly, looked at him calmly and said: "Originally, it was also my duty to help you exorcise ghosts, but Jia Yuanwai, you have covered it up again and again, and I can only think that we have a shallow fate, so I left a few talismans and left." β
"Why are you back, Chief?" Jia Yuanwai saw that there was no female ghost, and his mood slowly recovered, and he looked at Gu Li and asked.
"I'm uneasy." Gu Li looked at the astonishment of the other people around him, sighed and said, "Some people are innocent, I can't sit idly by." β
"Things have to start not long ago..."After a moment of silence, Jia Yuanwai looked at Gu Li with complicated eyes and said: "That night, a woman's crying suddenly sounded outside the room where my son lived, and the crying was miserable. β
"At first, Jia didn't believe it, thinking that it was a lie told by the two of them to avoid the studies assigned by Mr., so he scolded them fiercely."
"But considering that there was really something unclean, Jia also sent two subordinates to guard outside their door that night..."
"So something happened, didn't it?" Hearing this, Gu Li gently picked up the teacup and took a sip and said.
"Yes! The fat face trembled wildly, as if remembering the situation that night, Jia Yuanwai said fearfully: "The next day, someone came to tell Jia that the two subordinates were dead, and both hearts were gouged out. β
"At that time, there was a panic in the mansion, and all the subordinates were frightened and wanted to leave the Jia family."
"Jia was also scared, so he reported to the official as soon as possible."
"It's strange to say, after the people from the government came, Jia felt that the house suddenly became a lot brighter, and there was less palpitations."
"Although the official rank is small, it will also be protected by the national fortune, and ordinary demons dare not get close to it at all." Gu Li touched the teacup with his finger and said calmly: "Jia Yuanwai, please continue." β
"Eh, the Taoist is right!" Jia Yuanwai took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his fat face, and continued: "That day, the three officials looked at Jia's mansion separately, and after asking the people present at the time, they said that this was a homicide, and the perpetrator was among Jia's subordinates. β
"The conscience of heaven and earth, the subordinate Jia is looking for is a good family, how could he do such a thing, they are simply talking about it."
"And then?" Gu Li squinted at Jia Yuanwai, he knew that the other party might have reservations, but he just wanted to know what was going on with that female ghost.
"I made some silver that day and kept them..."'s eyes were a little dodgy, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Li's gaze, Jia Yuanwai whispered: "When Jia was sleeping, he suddenly heard a scream and woke up, and hurriedly put on a piece of clothing and ran out. β
"The people in the palace woke up, gathered in the courtyard one by one, and whispered to the room where the three officials lived."
"At that time, Jia was uneasy, and took a few people to the room where they lived."
"All of them had their eyes open, as if they couldn't see each other, and they all had broken an arm, and their hearts were gouged out..."
"That night, Jia didn't dare to sleep at all, and stayed in the hall with a group of subordinates."
"In the second half of the night, Jia Mou held his youngest daughter and sat on a big chair and dozed off, and then the little girl woke me up and said Daddy, listen, someone is crying."
Hearing this, all the listeners except Gu Li felt cold all over their bodies, their blood seemed to be invaded by cold, and their scalps were numb.
When Gu Li heard this, he felt that the cold aura around him seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and his fingers slowly put on the long sword, and said quietly: "Did everyone hear the cry?" β
"I asked the people again, and found that none of them heard it, only Jia's three children heard it."
