Chapter 402: Night Visit to Guo's Residence

After getting off the carriage and entering the courtyard, Yue Fuqi said, "I'll inconvenience Miss Guo by letting her stay here for a while. I'll send some maids over later."

There was no one here. When he came to Guang'an City, he sometimes stayed here. He only had someone clean it regularly, so it was quite clean and not dusty.

"Thank you." She thanked him again.

Yue Fuqi smiled lightly, nodded, and turned to leave the house.

After he got back on the carriage, before leaving, he took another look at the house. His eyes darkened slightly and the expression on his face was no longer gentle. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and asked the coachman to drive away.

Si He walked around the house. The house was not big, but it was elegant and quiet. The furnishings in the house were simple, but of excellent quality and beautiful style, and they were all spotless.

In the end, she chose a guest room in the side house instead of living in the main house.

About half an hour later, the maids and servants sent by Yue Fuqi arrived. There were not many of them, only four, but they were very well-behaved and worked very efficiently.

Si He stayed here temporarily and waited for news.

……

On the other hand, the Guo family was furious because they had 'lost' two girls.

Although she is just a concubine's daughter, she is still useful, especially at this critical moment.

Fortunately, the girl who fell from the building in Jinxiu Pavilion was related to the young master of the Yang family. The scene was a bit chaotic at the time, and naturally they couldn't see each other, so the matter didn't become too awkward. The Yang family just said to make another appointment.

The Guo family only wanted to find the two "lost" girls as soon as possible, otherwise, they would have to spend a lot of money again before the young master of the Yang family would give in.

Therefore, the Guo family did not stop searching until the curfew at night.

In the dead of night, Si He put on her gray cloth again, tied her hair up, and wrapped it with a cloth, including her face. Then she quietly went out in the dark night.

She moved very quietly. After she reached the yard, she jumped up and in the blink of an eye, she climbed over the wall and disappeared into the dark alley.

At this time, the two maids who were resting in the side room sat up vigilantly when Si He went out. In the dim vision, the two looked at each other and did not move. It was not until Si He climbed over the wall and left that they quickly walked to the window, opened it a little, and looked in the direction she left.

"Should we chase or not?"

One of them asked in a low voice, and the other hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid we can't catch up. We'd better stay here and she will come back."

They were naturally not ordinary maids. They all had some skills and were temporarily sent by Yue Fuqi to serve this mysterious girl.

Before they came, they were told to keep a close eye on the girl's every move and not to reveal any clues unless necessary. They were also told that the girl was very skilled, especially in Qinggong.

Judging from the subtle sounds they just heard, apart from anything else, his lightness skills were indeed better than theirs. If they rashly chased after him, losing him would be a small matter, but being discovered would be a big problem. So they discussed it in a low voice and decided not to chase after him.

At this time, Si He walked through the dark alley for a while, then jumped onto the roof, crouching her body, sometimes running quickly, sometimes leaping. Her movements and footsteps were very light, and it would be difficult to detect her movements unless someone had sensitive ears or high martial arts skills.

She specifically went to some more secluded and dark places, and she went to Guo's house.

Her residence is closer to the Guo family, so she came here first.

First, to investigate the situation of the Guo family, and second, to see what happened to the remnant soul.

Soon, she arrived at Qingyin Courtyard, only to find it dark and silent, as if it were an empty courtyard. Bizhu and Bilian were not guarding the gate either. Perhaps, because her master had disappeared, they had been transferred elsewhere?

There was no sign of 'Hongdou' either, so it was obvious that this situation had been exposed.

In addition, the smell in the yard was weird, with a strong smell of blood and talisman ash. If you looked carefully, you could see a lot of things scattered on the ground.

Most of them are bloodstains, dotted and densely packed everywhere. There are also many small white spots, also densely packed.

Si He stood quietly in the corner, looked around, and when he saw that there was no danger here, he jumped down.

After she entered the yard, she squatted down and looked carefully at the things on the ground.

This is not human blood. Judging from the traces and smell, it should be chicken comb blood or black dog blood, which have the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

In addition, those small white dots are glutinous rice, which also has a certain effect of exorcising evil spirits and purifying the house.

She took a look, then stood up and walked towards the house cautiously.

When I walked to the front of the house, I saw a talisman paper for exorcism pasted on the door. The night breeze blew gently, and the golden talisman paper swayed gently, making a slight sound. Under the moonlight, the bright red cinnabar runes on the talisman paper were particularly conspicuous.

She glanced at it indifferently, then tore off the talisman paper with one hand. Some talismans were also pasted on the surrounding windows, making the place look even more eerie and strange.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the talisman paper in her hand. The runes were drawn in a relatively neat pattern, and the materials used were ordinary. It was a very conventional production technique. At most, it was better than what she had drawn, but it was far worse than what Ning Ji had drawn before.

A talisman can reveal the skill and ability of the person who made it.

This Taoist priest’s abilities are just average.

Si He threw away the talisman paper in her hand and gently pushed the door open.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door was not locked. When it was pushed open, it made a small sound, and at the same time, a complex smell hit the face.

The smell in the room was a bit strange, with a faint smell of blood and some miscellaneous smells.

In the pitch-black darkness, she could clearly see a lot of talismans pasted in the house, as if it was a haunted house.

She paid attention to her feet, trying her best to avoid stepping on things that would leave obvious footprints. She tiptoed, took a few careful steps, then jumped up, stepped on a chair in the hall, and then used the force to leap onto the beam not far away.

The whole movement was light and quick.

She climbed onto the beam and saw at a glance that the talisman paper stuck on it was still there. There was no Yin energy here at all, but when she reached out to take off the talisman paper, the Yin energy on the beam suddenly surged out, and it was very obvious. Faintly, she could see a ball of gray gas in front of her, like a human figure.

As this negative energy emerged, the talisman papers pasted in the room suddenly moved without wind and fluttered gently. The runes on them also lit up with a faint light, and the light flowed along the runes like quicksand, which looked quite magical.

These talismans did work. The strong negative energy on the beam immediately subsided a lot. The gray gas was visibly reduced by half, as if it was lying tightly on the beam and dared not move.

Si He was not surprised at all and asked, "Are you okay? What happened?"
