he door and suddenly let out a light chuckle.I moved past his arm and peered into his hand, where he held an open bronze rune lock.Uh Opened“How could it be open There are so many locks here, couldn't...One by one, white shadows lined up, walking from the black mire onto the door and then to the window before vanishing outside.

I was dumbfounded. What on earth is this Lin Yanqin felt someone moving around in her room every night, were these ghosts passing by her bed

"What's this... for" I couldn't help but whisper.

Ghosts having a fashion show

"...Walking the Yin path is about taking away her life force," Jiang Qiyun explained softly.

Soon the line of ghosts had passed, and a shadowy figure with disheveled hair appeared at the end. It was wearing an old-fashioned Taoist robe. I grabbed my brother's arm!

Robe!

Huang Dao Village died with that evil cult, and his two disciples. The three souls did not go to the underworld but have been hiding in the mortal realm for over fifty years!

Could this ghost be one of them

This ghost is clearly different from the previous one. After walking out, it circled Lin Yanqin's bed three times and then placed its hand on the gossip mirror beside the bed.

Behind me, Lin Yanqin suddenly moved, making me nearly jump out of my skin.

Turning her head to look, Lin Yanqin was still unconscious, but her brow began to furrow slightly, as if she were having a nightmare.

Shouldn't she be cursed Will she suddenly get possessed

I reached out and tugged on Jiang Qiyun's sleeve, motioning for him to look back.

Jiang Qiyun didn't even look back, waving his hand to signal me to be quiet. He intently focused on the movements of the daoist ghost.

The brass octagonal mirror leaned against the lamp stand, and we could faintly see some blurry images. Inside, it seemed like Lin Yanqin was talking to Lin Yahuan while holding her hand.

What is this Taoist trying to do Is it interesting to eavesdrop on the private conversation between two siblings

Lying on the bed was a paper figurine stand-in. The Taoist priest couldn't see through Jiang Qiyun's magic for a while, he kept drawing circles on the mirror with one hand.

He probably hadn't achieved the effect he wanted in half a day. He was a little puzzled, slowly turned his head to look at the paper figurine on the bed.

I saw a face, torn and bloody, half of it exposed as white bone. That's how he died

If the rumors about Huang Dao Cun are true, then this ghost Taoist must have been killed by having his throat slit and bled out, his flesh flayed and bones removed. His death must have been terrifying.

My brother whispered, "Don't look, don't look. If you're scared, Qiaoqiao, don't watch this, it's not good for the baby."

As he spoke, he turned to face me, pulled his jacket open and held my head against him, not letting me look.

I know my brother's scent too well, but there's a faint sweetness to it now. I guess it's from when he held Lin Yanqin just now.

At this thought, I turned to look at Lin Yanqin—she had actually woken up!

And she was rubbing her eyes, staring blankly at my brother holding my head.

"My goodness! You two siblings actually have an affair!" she exclaimed as soon as she regained her senses.

I rolled my eyes silently. My brother gritted his teeth and raised his foot as if to kick her, but he held back in the end.

She is being replaced by a paper man!

A burst of energy erupted from his mouth, instantly disabling the paper talisman!

The Taoist priest was taken aback, sensing that this was a paper effigy. He turned to flee out the window --

Jiang Qiyun immediately opened the barrier, a cold light flashed from his fingertips, one hand pinching a spell and the other holding the semi-transparent long sword, he rushed forward!

The window transformed into a ghostly portal beckoning from the river. The Eastern Ghost Emperors, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, flung open the Gates of Hell, binding the Taoist priest with chains around his hands, feet, and waist.

The Taoist priest's silent, eerie laughter echoed as he wielded the copper bell talisman in his hand, severing the chains that flew out from the Ghost Gate.

Jiang Qiyun thrust a sword into the ghost Taoist's robes, and with a horizontal swing, the blade sliced through the robes, revealing the ghost Taoist's bare ribs.

The Black and White Impermanence appeared, but they couldn't restrain the Ghost Daoist. He escaped back into the black corpse swamp.

The black miasma that had quickly filled the room and corridor vanished. Jiang Qiyun frowned, "This creature has mastered some of the techniques of the Corpse Immortal Dao. Ordinary chains couldn't hold him, it was my oversight."

"Oh my, Your Majesty the Emperor, don't be so hard on yourself. Shouldn't we followers just self-destruct our souls to apologize" Bai Wu Chang laughed as he drifted around the room: "Little Empress, it's good to see you~~"

Hello, hello... I nodded at him and immediately retreated behind my brother.

Lin Yanqin shoved me dissatisfiedly: "What are you guys doing! You're crowding me into the corner, and the two of you are so close! Humph! Do you have something going on"

If she weren't a woman, I bet my brother would have thrown a punch.

"Look at what you've done! Can't you keep your mouth shut once you wake up! We almost had him!" I hissed.

Her eyes lit up, and she stared at me, asking, “Are there really ghosts in my room!”

“Of course it’s true! A team of ghosts walked past your bed! And there was one covered in rotten flesh rubbing that mirror next to your bed! If you told the truth, maybe we would have caught them!” I looked at this somewhat eccentric young lady and felt speechless.

Bai Wu Chang drifted to Lin Yan Qin's side, circling her once, and said, "Your Majesty Emperor, this mortal girl seems to have been cursed with a ghost-attracting spell. I smell a trace of cinnabar and mercury... Is this little girl not made of human skin and straw"

He said it casually, but I was so startled that I took three steps back and quickly moved away from Lin Yanqin.

Jiang Qiyun furrowed her brow and said to me, "Go check her body. Look all over, carefully searching for any strange markings. Even her scalp should be examined closely."

I…

What the heck is this mission!

"Go quickly!" Jiang Qiyun impatiently said, "Do you want me to personally inspect it I don't mind, but you're going to make a fuss with me again."

I glared at him and, gritting my teeth, pulled Lin Yanqin into the bathroom. I told a little lie: "Take off your clothes quickly and soak in a hot bath. Let me check if you have any handprints left by a ghost on your body. If there are, that ghost will come for you any time—"

Before I could finish my sentence, she quickly stripped naked and jumped into the bathtub.

The rich people's bathtub not only large but also has massage, spray, wave and other functions, she even turned on the music, where like scared of ghosts.

I stood there speechless, the gap between this young lady and my family was just too big.

My brother can brush his teeth and wash his hair with one hand each while standing under the shower, rinsing off all the bubbles. He even hums a tune while doing it! It only takes him five minutes to do it all.

This rough lifestyle is completely different from that of this young lady who even puts on music while taking a bath.

Actually, Lin Yanqin is not the washboard my brother described. She's tall, at least 1.7 meters, and has a good figure. She's just the type with a graceful temperament and long legs, like a model.

I look round in everything I wear, I really envy those long-legged clotheshangers.

"Hey, Mu Xia Qiao, take a look quickly for me. Didn't you say there were some ghost handprints Are there any on your back What about under your...butt I can't see those places..."ds and cannot condense within your body. No wonder you're an airport.""Pff... *cough cough cough*! Hu Qing, you've gone too far! Where's your image as a high monk!""You bald donkey, what are you sayin...
