Chapter 426 Female Ghost in Red
Chapter 426 Female Ghost in Red
At this moment, she seemed like a spoiled and courageous young lady, who was unaware of the power of the evil spirit and insisted on watching the fun. As she spoke, she bypassed the guards and walked towards the backyard.
The guards were troubled and helpless, they could only follow closely and provide strict protection.
Gao You and Gao Ziyi followed closely beside her, somewhat curious about what she was up to. They followed silently, each holding a lantern to illuminate the path. Although many lanterns were hung along the corridor, some of the side roads were still quite dark.
At this time, the Guo family was relatively quiet everywhere. In the corridor, apart from some guards walking around, there was basically no one else.
It wasn't until we got near the back garden that we heard some more noisy sounds.
"Dingling~Dingling~"
In addition to the sound of some people talking, there was also a regular ringing sound.
The closer we got, the louder the sounds became and the brighter the lights became.
After a while, Si He arrived at the back garden. She saw that in addition to many guards guarding everywhere, there were also several magicians performing rituals in the garden, and their disciples were helping them.
However, these mages were all unfamiliar, and the mage named Chen was nowhere to be seen.
The eldest uncle of the main house, Guo Shuangjiang, was also there. At this moment, he had a piece of talisman paper stuck on his chest and back, and a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits in his hand, which looked quite exaggerated.
Guo Shuangjiang noticed the commotion here, turned around, and saw Si He actually running over to watch the fun. His face couldn't help but look a little ugly, and then he walked over quickly.
"What are you doing here? Go back to your yard! This is not where you belong!"
Guo Shuangjiang scolded her to get out of here, and suddenly felt that this girl was really too bold. Was this something he could watch?
Si He was about to speak when the leading mage in the distance suddenly shouted.
"Hah! Who is this monster that dares to act so presumptuously here?"
After he finished speaking, he quickly took out a piece of talisman paper, turned his wrist, and hit a spot on his side. The talisman paper immediately burned in mid-air.
"boom!"
"what!"
The light of the fireball was very dazzling, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a shrill scream that made people shudder.
Everyone around looked and saw a terrifying ghost face looming in the air under the illumination of the flames. Most people opened their eyes wide in horror when they saw the ghost.
It was a female ghost in red clothes with disheveled hair, but her face was covered with scars and blood was coming out of all her orifices. It was very scary, especially when her face was distorted and hideous and her eyes were staring at people with resentment. It was very scary!
Guo Shuangjiang took a look, gasped, and fainted on the ground immediately!
Si He glanced at Guo Shuangjiang, then looked up at the female ghost in red again.
The female ghost seemed to be looking towards her, but the talisman fire quickly went out, and the female ghost disappeared into the dark night along with the talisman fire.
"Where to escape!"
The wizard took out another piece of talisman paper and threw it into the air. At the same time, he raised his sword and slashed it down.
"boom!"
Another ball of blazing flames burned in the air, but unfortunately, this time the ghost was not seen again, nor was its scream heard again. It was obvious that the attack had missed!
However, a terrifying gust of wind suddenly blew around, and the surrounding trees shook and rustled.
A cold wind blew, bringing with it a biting chill. Because the wind was so strong, many people couldn't help but squint their eyes and raise their hands to cover their eyes, and their clothes were rustling in the wind.
Although everyone was a little frightened, they all had items to ward off evil spirits on them, so they felt much more at ease.
At this moment, several mages waved their swords, slashing and stabbing at the surrounding void, and at the same time, they scattered a lot of talisman paper.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
"boom!"
When the sharp sword containing talismanic power slashed through the air, it left behind seemingly faint streaks of light and the sound of swords.
And when the talisman burned in the air, it also flashed with dazzling flames.
"what--"
After a while, the shrill ghost cry sounded again, but it did not appear again. The sound filled the entire back garden, and it was clear where it was.
On Si He's side, the guards around her quickly lifted up the unconscious Guo Shuangjiang and prepared to evacuate. At the same time, others also had to escort them away. After all, the current situation was too dangerous!
At this moment, the cold wind suddenly grew stronger, blowing out all the lanterns and candles around, leaving the place pitch black.
The guards stopped in their tracks and raised their peach wood swords or magic swords, taking precautions.
Si He took advantage of the darkness around him and quickly took something out of his pocket. Then he quietly moved his body and quickly went to the back where the dark wind retreated. Then he raised his hand and collected the dark wind.
Her movements were very quick and smooth. After collecting the things, she quickly dodged a few times and retreated back into the crowd.
Others may not have noticed her movements, but Gao You and Gao Zi were sharp enough to hear a slight sound and thus judged that she must have done something. Unfortunately, it was too dark and there was no light around. The sky was also dark and there was no moon, so they could not see anything.
Just as Si He retreated, the mages in the distance waved their talismans again, and balls of flame immediately illuminated the surroundings. Others hurriedly lit lanterns and candles, and only then could they see the surroundings clearly.
At this moment, the cold wind had stopped, and there were no more horrible ghost cries. All that was left were the various sounds made by the wizards when they were exorcising evil spirits.
"boom--"
"Whoosh whoosh—"
"Quick, set up a formation to seal off the garden and don't let that evil spirit escape!"
There was a flurry of activity over there, and Si He's guards were about to carry the unconscious Guo Shuangjiang away. But just as they lifted him up, Guo Shuangjiang suddenly woke up and screamed in fear: "Ghost! Run!"
Now, he didn't need anyone to carry him, and he was so panicked that he wanted to escape from here.
The other guards kept urging Si He and the others to leave.
Si He didn't say much at this time. She pretended to be frightened and left with the guards. Gao You and Gao Zi followed closely behind.
Several mages glanced over here, but quickly looked away and let them leave.
After all, a formation has been set up here. People can leave at will, but ghosts and evil spirits cannot. If the ghosts get close to the formation and talisman paper, they will react immediately!
Moreover, the guards were carrying talismans and holding objects to exorcise evil spirits in their hands, so the ghosts could not get close to them at all. It was just right for these people to leave to avoid being accidentally injured.
After a while, Si He and the others followed the guards out of the back garden and headed towards Xiangxue Courtyard.
After Gao You and Gao Zi were exposed, no one suspected Si He and just thought she was brave enough to watch the fun.
After returning to her residence, Si He asked the maid to prepare hot water for her to take a bath and wash up.
Gao You and Gao Zi looked at her silently and then stood guard at the door.
After the maids had left, she was the only one left in the inner room of the side room. She then released the remaining soul in the talisman bag, which was the female ghost in red.
"Whoo~"
In an instant, a gust of cold wind blew through the inner room, and the candlelight flickered.
