Chapter 537: Collecting Property and Entering the Guo Family
Without opening the box, Si He stared at it and saw through the surface that it was full of silver, neatly packed.
She shifted her gaze and looked at the boxes around her. There were either silver or gold, as well as a lot of jewelry. There were dozens of boxes in total, which was a huge fortune.
However, it was still less than what she had in her ring.
She didn't waste any time, touching the boxes here one by one, and putting them into the ring one by one. Soon, the boxes disappeared from the spot.
In order to collect things with this ring, not only can the objects not be living things, but she also has to touch them personally. Although it is a bit troublesome, the process is fresh and she finds it quite interesting.
After a while, all the boxes in the cave were put into the ring. The capacity of the ring space became a little smaller due to the storage of these things, but she was very satisfied.
She glanced at the empty cave, then turned and walked out. As she left, she cleaned up the footprints on the ground and locked the iron door again.
She returned to the warehouse along the same route, put the doors and cabinets back in place, cleaned up the traces, and then went out through the window again. No one noticed her whereabouts.
The villa was silent, with only the chirping of insects.
Si He jumped and flew quickly in the darkness.
After leaving the villa, she saw several guards looking around in the woods not far away. They were staring at what was happening in the villa and were obviously worried about her.
Si He turned around, stepped on the branches along the way, and leaped towards them.
They heard the noise and looked over, only to see her walking without stopping and saying, "Let's go."
"Yes." They replied softly and hurried to follow.
This is the suburbs of Guang'an City, about thirty miles away from the city.
After sitting back on the horse, Si He looked at the sky and found that there was still enough time to go into the city.
After thinking about it, she led her men towards Guang'an City.
However, when passing by an inn beside the official road, she let the guards stay in the inn and had no intention of taking them into the city, as too many people would attract attention.
Gao You originally wanted to follow her, but was rejected by her.
Seeing her doing what she wanted, they had no choice but to follow her arrangements.
After Si He arrived at the edge of the city wall, he climbed over the wall as if he was familiar with the route and walked on the walls.
The city was silent at midnight, and many places were pitch black. Only a few streets were still hung with lanterns, adding some light.
However, on the way to Guo's house, Si He discovered that almost every household in the city had posted talismans to ward off evil spirits. When the night wind blew, the yellow talismans gently fluttered. Under the light of the lanterns, the red runes on the talismans were particularly obvious, and in this dark night, there was a weird atmosphere.
Now, apart from the fact that the number of soldiers on the city walls remains unchanged, there are no patrolling officers on the streets. It is obvious that something must have happened in the city in recent days, which has caused such changes.
Si He glanced at it indifferently and continued to fly quickly in the dark night.
When she arrived at the Guo family, Si He was surprised to see the current situation of the Guo family.
She stood on a hidden wall, and it was pitch black all around her, but she could clearly see that there were talismans pasted everywhere. The entire Guo family was filled with a gloomy aura, and it seemed that there was no living person inside.
Not only are talisman papers pasted on the walls here, but some runes are also painted with cinnabar. The bright red color is very eye-catching.
Some formations were also set up inside the wall to suppress the evil energy here and prevent it from leaking out.
The Guo family had sent people to deliver letters asking for help to her many times before. At first, she read them but ignored them, and then she never read them again.
However, she still asked people to pay attention to the situation of the Guo family. The news said that the Guo family was having a harder and harder time and had started to sell off some assets. The Guo family members had moved out early. It was said that there were many evil spirits here and many Taoist priests were invited to perform rituals.
Now it seems that the situation is a little different from what was expected.
The condition of this remnant soul seemed to be quite bad. She sighed softly, as if every time she came to see it, it was in a very bad condition.
However, her ability to obtain such a large amount of wealth from the Guo family was inseparable from its contribution.
Si He glanced at the surrounding situation and when he saw nothing unusual, he jumped down from the wall.
When she stepped into the area inside the wall, she clearly felt the strong atmosphere around her. The evil energy was very heavy, and gusts of cold wind blew towards her.
She walked forward slowly, her clothes blown up by the cold wind, and there was a sense of weirdness everywhere. Faintly, it seemed as if there were miserable ghost cries ringing around her, the sound was not loud, erratic, and disappeared without a trace.
It's a pity that her soul stone is already filled with ghosts and spirits, otherwise, she would have collected all the ghosts around.
Si He glanced around with a cold gaze. The scene here seemed familiar.
No, it’s not a sense of déjà vu, but it is exactly the same as some things I have encountered before.
The situation here is not as rumored outside, that there are powerful ghosts that are difficult to eliminate, but that some people regard this place as a place to raise evil creatures, just like the family in Beisha Kingdom.
Si He withdrew her gaze. The further she walked in, the stronger the evil aura became.
Just in case, she didn't want to use the evil energy in her body again, so she took out the talisman and tied it around her waist to prevent ghosts from approaching. However, she did not take any action against these things.
She walked slowly in the dark path, keeping an eye on everything around her, sometimes stopping to look at the suppressing runes and formations.
"Woo--Woo--"
The miserable screams of ghosts could be heard from time to time. The sound was like crying, or like someone was suffering from unknown torture. There were men and women, old and young, and the voices were very similar, but never the same.
However, judging from their voices and states, they were all quite weak, far inferior to the ghosts in her soul stone. After all, those ghosts had been kept in the ancient tomb filled with gloomy energy for so many years, so naturally they could not be compared.
After looking for a while, Si He quickened his pace and walked towards the direction where the smell was the strongest.
After a while, she arrived at the gate of Fuhetang, which was originally the residence of the old lady of the Guo family.
Before, she replaced the residual soul with a ghost and possessed the old lady's body to hide her identity. Now no one knows what is going on.
But the evil aura here is the heaviest in the entire Guo family. Obviously, the ghosts suppressed inside are particularly valued by those Taoists.
Si He did not push open the gate covered with talismans, but stood on tiptoe and jumped to the top of the wall. Then she saw that the whole yard was filled with formations and treasures, and it was eerie and hazy.
It is very quiet here, so quiet that there is no sound at all, so quiet that it is eerie.
Si He glanced indifferently at the entire yard, and finally looked at the front hall of Fuhe Hall. After a while, she jumped down from the wall.
The moment her feet touched the ground, the gray mist around her dissipated a little, and then a creepy, gloomy wind blew from the front.
