The murky air in the Du Family's courtyard did not affect Miao Miao much. In this environment, all the elements except the dark elements were expelled, leaving only a small portion hidden in the corner. This made the preparation time and consumption of elemental magic at least twice as much as usual. On the contrary, the power and preparation time of the dark elements were at least twice as much as normal. This was not good news for Miao Miao and Ninth Uncle.
The first thing Miao Miao felt when she walked into the Du residence was darkness. Although it was daytime, it was like a cloudy day when she walked into the Du residence. The entire world seemed to be dyed with a layer of gray, just like the gray tone of Silent Hill. It made her feel depressed, and even all kinds of plants felt sick.
"After staying in this place for a long time, it would be strange if I didn't go crazy.”Miao Miao, who was walking in the Du family's residence, thought to herself," But then again, where are Ninth Uncle and the others?”
Miao Miao wandered around the Du Family, trying to find traces of Ninth Uncle and the others. After all, time was extremely precious in a mission. Perhaps it was because of the delay that caused the final mission to fail. In the end, everyone would end up GG together. That was simply too much.
The size and layout of the Du family seemed to be beyond Miao Miao's imagination. Miao Miao walked for almost an hour, but she still could not find Ninth Uncle and Wencai. She did not even see a few servants. Most of them were in a hurry, as if something was chasing them from behind. Miao Miao also tried to follow him, but to no avail. Instead, she almost got lost.
Perhaps even the heavens could not bear to see this cat that was clearly on the verge of death but still looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Therefore, when Miao Miao happened to pass by the small garden, she saw an unexpected scene.
A man in short clothes appeared in the small garden that should have been empty. Judging from the style and fabric of the clothes, he should not be an ordinary person. At the very least, he was someone with a certain status in the Du family.
Of course, compared to the familiar person, the other one was much stranger. No, it should be said that he did not know him at all. However, the servant's body was abnormally strong, and his face was filled with masculinity. Although he was wearing servant clothes, the ferocious aura in his bones could not be dispersed. Coupled with his face that was not ugly but was filled with masculinity, it combined to form a unique charm.
"This servant shouldn't be an ordinary person, and his combat strength is definitely not weaker than a warrior of the first rank.”Miao Miao narrowed her eyes as she sized up the servant, judging from her experience in the Magical Beast Forest.
As for the man who looked like a young master, he could not understand. If he was an ordinary person, he could vaguely feel the same temperament as Ninth Uncle and the others. If he was a capable person, there was nothing different about him.
There was still some distance between Miao Miao and the master and servant, but that did not stop Miao Miao from hearing their conversation.
"Ah Niu, where is my big brother now?”the long-robed man said. The man's voice was filled with elegance and a little magnetism. He had the feeling of a scholar. Miao Miao guessed that his appearance should not be bad.
"Eldest Young Master should still be in the house and hasn't woken up yet.。。”The robust servant named Ah Niu replied.
"But what? Just say it. There's no need to be afraid of anything. There's no one else around.”The long-robed man was clearly dissatisfied with Ah Niu's breathing.
"Eldest Young Master brought back two more women from outside the manor last night, but there hasn't been any movement from them yet. According to the eldest young master's habits, it was possible...。”Ah Niu frowned as he spoke. It was obvious that he couldn't stand the Eldest Young Master's habits. He even felt a little disgusted.
The long-robed man frowned when he heard Ah Niu's words. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"Phew, I got it. When the young master wakes up, go to the young master's room and deal with it. Don't leave any traces. Then, investigate the identities of those two women. You should know how to deal with them.”His tone was filled with sorrow, anger, and deep disgust. There was no brotherhood. This disgust was not concealed at all. It was completely displayed without any scruples.
"This one understands, but Old Master.。。”
"I'll talk to my father personally. Oh right, have you found my sister-in-law's corpse?”
"We still haven't found Young Madam's body, but there are some clues. He heard that someone at the City God Temple in the east of the city seemed to have seen the young madam at night, and there was more than one person.”
"Then send someone to investigate at night. In short, we must find Young Madam's body. If there's nothing else, you can leave first. I have to go to my father's place too.”
"Alright, Young Master. I'll take my leave first.”After saying that, the man in tight-fitting clothes waved his hand and walked out of the small garden.
After a while, the young master also left the small garden. No one noticed Miao Miao, who was sitting on a tree not far away and listening to their conversation.
"City God Temple in the east of the city. Interesting. It seemed that he had to go there later. He felt that he would have an unexpected gain.”Miao Miao licked her lips and narrowed her eyes. She stood up and walked away. The most important thing now was to find Ninth Uncle and the others.
Miao Miao wasn't very sure about Ninth Uncle's location, but the sense of smell of a magical beast shouldn't be underestimated. Although it wasn't as strong as those magical beasts that had an unusually sensitive sense of smell, as long as it was within a certain range, it wouldn't be a problem to find a familiar scent.
When Miao Miao left the small garden, she finally smelled a familiar scent. The strong smell of herbs and the fragrance that could often be smelled in the Taoist temple was obviously the smell of Ninth Uncle. As a magical beast, it should have the ability to remember a smell.
Following the scent, Miao Miao passed through all kinds of buildings and came to the center of the courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was an altar with a yellow main color. On the altar, there was an ancient incense burner. The entire incense burner had three legs and two ears, like a miniature cauldron. There was also an incense stick that was as thick as an index finger and as long as half a forearm inserted into the incense burner. A wisp of faint green smoke was rising. Although the fragrance was light, it was unforgettable.
Next to the incense burner were two red candles. The weak flames were inconspicuous in the daytime, but Miao Miao could feel a brightness and vitality from the candles. It was a power that could warm people's hearts, forming a sharp contrast with the gloomy feeling around them.
In front of the incense burner were three wooden tablets. Some words were written on the wooden tablets. The words were written in characters that Miao Miao could not understand, but she could vaguely make out the outline of the traditional characters. Miao Miao was not very clear about the specific use of these wooden tablets. There were eight long poles around the altar. On the poles hung eight long banners of different colors. There were also different divinatory symbols drawn on the banners.
In front of the altar, Ninth Uncle was wearing a bright yellow robe, a four-horned flat crown, and a red-lined golden sword. He sat cross-legged in front of the altar with his eyes closed as if he was thinking about something or resting.
Not far away from the altar, Wen Cai, who seemed honest and honest, was yawning listlessly. Anyway, the sun above his head was blocked by the Yin Qi that was almost solidified. The remaining power of the sunlight was not as strong as Miao Miao had imagined. Anyway, Miao Miao did not see Wen Cai sweating. Instead, he yawned continuously, looking like he would fall asleep at any time.
There was no one else at the place where the altar was located except for Ninth Uncle and Wen Cai. It looked exceptionally quiet. Miao Miao's arrival did not attract Wen Cai's attention. He did not even notice it. But Ninth Uncle, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Miao Miao.
After seeing Miao Miao's figure, Ninth Uncle stood up from the futon. He dusted off the non-existent dust on his body and walked towards Miao Miao. He stood under the tree where Miao Miao was and looked up at her.
"It's a little early, but it's fine. It's good that you're here.”
"Oh (third sound), why did you call me here so early? I'm very busy.”
"It's nothing much. I just want you to go to the City God Temple in the east of the city. The statue you gave me should be the statue of the Night Wandering God in the City God Temple. I think there's something wrong with it appearing in the mortuary.”
"It's the City God Temple again." Miao Miao licked her teeth and said.
"What's going on? What's this Shing Wong Temple again?”Ninth Uncle asked curiously.
"It's nothing. It's just that someone seemed to have seen Miss Zhao's figure in the City God Temple at night. It might be Miss Zhao's soul. If you have time, you can go and take a look.”Miao Miao licked her paws and said.
"City God Temple? How could there be a malicious ghost in that place? He didn't even have time to hide and still dared to go over.”Hearing Miao Miao's words, Ninth Uncle frowned, his eyes full of doubt.
"How would I know if you ask me? Why don't we find some time to go over and take a look?”Miao Miao suggested.
"Even if you don't say it, I have to think of a way to go. There's no time like the present. Let's go tonight.”Hearing Miao Miao's suggestion, Ninth Uncle made a prompt decision.
"Okay. I'll go to the mortuary to see if there are any clues. I feel like I missed something last time.”Miao Miao said after thinking for a moment.
"I'll leave that to you. I still have to guard the spell altar. During the day, the Yang qi is at its peak, so I still need to guide the guiding array. However, I estimate that in two days, I should be able to weaken a portion of the Yin qi here. At that time, even if we fight, we'll have a higher chance of winning.”
"In that case, I'll leave first. It's uncomfortable to stay in such a place. Even his recovery would be delayed by three beats.”Miao Miao then turned around and jumped onto another tree, disappearing from Ninth Uncle's sight.
