Chapter 425: Evil Scale
Chapter 425: Evil Scale
Si He took Gao You into the house and asked Gao Zi to guard the door and not let anyone approach.
After entering the house, she even closed the doors and windows, so the servants outside could not find out what was going on inside.
"Miss, everything is bought."
As Gao You spoke, he took something out of his pocket and put it on the table.
Si He picked up the things and checked them, and asked, "Is anyone following us?"
Gao You: "At first, the Guo family's guards secretly followed me, but I went to the cloth shop first to provide cover, and then left through the back door. No one followed me when I was buying things."
"Very good, you've worked hard. Go out and rest first."
Si He didn't look at Gao You, but carefully checked the quality of these things.
Gao You took a look at her. Although he didn't know what she was going to do, he didn't ask any more questions. "Yes."
After Gao You left, Si He took the things, walked to the dressing table in the inner room, sat down, and started to set these things up.
What she asked Gao You to buy were some things for making items to ward off evil spirits, including cinnabar, some special stone powders and medicinal powders, and carving knives for seal carving.
Originally, she didn't want to do anything to the Guo family. After all, she had taken a lot of banknotes from the Guo family's warehouse before. But now what the Guo family did was really getting more and more disgusting. If she didn't take advantage of the Guo family this time, she would not be able to swallow this anger.
The most important thing is that the Guo family's money has begun to cause her trouble.
Si He took a few tea trays, put the powder in them, and began to prepare the talisman liquid for drawing talismans.
After preparing the appropriate amount of medicinal powder, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket, which contained the only two remaining untouched spirit beads.
This spiritual bead was dug out a long time ago. After being stored for more than ten years, the surface has become a little dry and hard, and it looks like a strange gray-black bead.
She took out a small spiritual essence bead, pierced the surface with a sharp object, and dripped the spiritual essence liquid inside into the prepared powder and stirred it evenly.
Then she took out a few of Mo Mo's scales.
Seeing these scales, her eyes dimmed again. After a while, she would find a chance to go to the river area to investigate.
Recovering her thoughts, she carefully looked at the scale in her hand. After a while, she put it on the table, then picked up the carving knife and carved runes on the scale.
Snakes are feminine animals, characterized by mysterious spirituality, hidden changes and strong vitality.
Mo Mo is even more extraordinary. After all, its mother is a mutated giant snake, so it grows so fast. Its scales are different from those of other snakes. These scales are actually treasures. If used well, they can be of great use.
Ning Ji had studied with her the function of the scales on Mo Mo's body before, but he had never pulled them out. After all, it was like a child he had raised with his own hands, so he would naturally not hurt it.
However, instead of leaving these scales alone, it would be better to make use of them. They are good materials for making evil-averting objects.
In this world, there are things that can drive away evil spirits, and there are also things that can protect against evil spirits.
For example, the Joker card can contain evil spirits and thus nourish them.
However, she was not going to make a ghost card, and the material was not suitable. She just wanted to make a simple object to ward off evil.
However, because the scales were hard, it took her a long time to carve the runes.
She put down the carving knife, took the scales to the basin of water and washed them. After the powder on the scales was washed off, the runes carved on them immediately became much clearer.
Looking at the scale with runes carved on it, she was quite satisfied. Then, she carved the remaining scales as well.
Then fill the prepared liquid medicine into the rune grooves on the scales and proceed to the next step of production.
Time passed by little by little. Now, it started to rain heavily outside. The sky was very dark and the day was as dark as night.
In addition to the smell of burning candles, the room was also filled with a special medicinal aroma and incense smell, which was a bit complicated.
After a long time, she finally opened the window and the cool breeze that blew in immediately dispelled some of the smell in the room.
On the table, there was a finished evil-protecting scale. In the candlelight, the scale reflected a faint luster, and the dark green runes on it added a bit of mystery.
She stood by the window, watching the heavy rain outside.
The rain was so heavy that everything was foggy. There were puddles of water in many places in the yard.
If this continues, it won’t be long before the talisman in the rockery in the backyard will become ineffective.
She just hoped that after the remnant soul came out, it could survive the mage's encirclement, otherwise, she would have to think of something else.
The rain continued to fall until the maid brought dinner, and then the rain began to slowly subside.
Today's dinner was simple, much bland compared to the previous sumptuous meal. It consisted of vegetables, tofu, egg drop soup, and a steamed fish.
Actually, this is quite good. There are no messy herbs to match, and no bad-smelling tonics.
Despite this, before eating, she still asked the maid who delivered the food to taste the food, and only after testing it with a silver needle would she feel at ease to eat it.
Just as she was having her meal, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the yard, as if something had happened.
She glanced at Gao You, and Gao You walked out silently.
After a while, Gao You came back and said, "Miss, I heard that the evil spirit appeared in the backyard again."
"Ah."
It was expected, but it happened faster than expected. Si He ate silently.
Gao You and Gao Zi were curious and puzzled when they saw this, but they didn't say much and didn't go out again.
The servants in the yard were a little panicked, perhaps because they had been frightened before. So when they heard that something happened in the backyard again, they became panic-stricken and tightly held the talismans they carried.
Nowadays, almost every servant of the Guo family has a talisman in hand.
Gao You and Gao Zi also had some. They were the talisman papers that Master Chen had given to Si He before, and Si He gave them to them.
After a while, the noise outside gradually died down, and it was obvious that the situation was under control.
After Si He finished her meal, it was completely dark and the rain had stopped.
She thought about it for a while, and finally took Gao You and Gao Zi out and walked towards the backyard without taking any other maids.
The maids were like being pardoned, and were obviously unwilling to go out and walk around at this time. They only tried to dissuade him for a while and didn't say anything else.
However, just as Si He walked out of the courtyard, the guards outside stopped her again, "Miss Jiu, it's getting late now, you should stay in the courtyard."
She stopped and looked at the guard who had spoken, and said, "Are you going to put me under house arrest?"
The guard said, "No, I am concerned about the young lady's safety. Something happened in the backyard, so it is not appropriate to move around."
Si He asked: "What happened?"
The guard thought for a while and then said truthfully, "An evil spirit is causing trouble."
Si He seemed to be curious and said, "Then I must go and take a look. I have a magic talisman given by the magician to protect me. Those evil spirits dare not approach me."
