At night.
Yan Poyue sat in the guest room of the Hong Family, flipping through an ancient book in his hands.
"There's clearly a ghost, but it can avoid the Yin Yang Eye.”
This old book was found by Yan Poyue in the study of the Hong family. It recorded many folk stories about strange things. Yan Poyue wanted to see if there were any similar situations.
Although he didn't know if it was true or not, if there was really a similar situation, it wouldn't hurt to refer to it.
Time flew by, and the sound of the night watch came from outside.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight. Yan Poyue finally found a record of a similar incident on a certain page of the book.
" Ancient artifact, Ethereal Opening, seal the aura."
Yan Poyue muttered to himself.
In the book, it was recorded that in ancient times, a scholar was pestered by a female ghost and asked a Taoist priest to catch the ghost.
The strange thing was that although the Taoist priest could feel the Yin Qi, he could not find the real body of the female ghost every time he was ready to capture her.
Until a fire broke out in the scholar's house and a painting scroll was burned.
Unexpectedly, a woman's painful scream came from the painting. Only then did the scholar realize that the female ghost was actually hiding in the world in the painting.
The painting scroll was sentient.
The world in the painting was isolated from the human world. The female ghost hiding in the world in the painting was equivalent to escaping from the human world. Naturally, she could not feel her aura.
"An ancient artifact with a spirit?" Yan Poyue was somewhat surprised.
Ancient artifacts that could communicate with the spirit and ancient artifacts that could hide ghosts were two different concepts.
The broken jar under the big willow tree during the day was an ancient artifact hiding ghosts. The jar itself did not have a spirit. It was just a ghost possessing it.
Therefore, Yan Poyue's Yin-Yang Eye could detect it.
As for the spirituality of ancient objects, it was because the object itself already had spiritual energy and condensed its own space.
It was just like a powerful magic tool. After condensing a soul, the original body of the magic tool would become a 'home', and this' home 'would be the independent space of the tool soul.
"I see."
Yan Poyue's fingers tapped lightly on the table.
If the ghost was hiding in the antique and absorbing the little girl's essence, then this antique must be something that the little girl often used.
Looking at the master bedroom that had already turned off the lights, Yan Poyue was slightly stunned.
The girl was weak and sickly, and the place she was most often in was the bedroom.
A ghost causing trouble…
It was very likely that he was hiding in the bedroom!
If it wasn't for the fact that the girl's body was too weak, Yan Poyue would have summoned the Black and White Ghosts to take a look at the bedroom to see if there were any flaws.
He could only wait until dawn.
……
The next morning.
Yan Poyue faced the morning sun and breathed in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for a while. Then, he went to the courtyard of the Hong family to practice the Taoist Body Refining Technique.
Not long after he started practicing, the door to the master bedroom opened. Er Yuehong ran towards Yan Poyue with a pale face.
In Er Yuehong's hand was the amulet that Yan Poyue had given him last night.
The originally bright yellow talisman had now turned black. This meant that last night, that ghost had tried to absorb the girl's essence, energy, and spirit.
Yan Poyue stopped his attack and believed his guess even more."Let's go to your bedroom and take a look."
"Alright." Er Yuehong nodded.
As soon as he entered the door, a strong fragrance assailed his nose.
Yan Poyue slightly narrowed his eyes. In the midst of this strong fragrance, there was a faint trace of Yin Qi.
"This is the medicinal fragrance." Er Yuehong explained,"The doctor said that lighting this incense is good for the girl's illness.”
Yan Poyue didn't say anything. He just looked around the bedroom.
The entire bedroom was fresh and elegant. There were no extra furnishings. There was nothing else except the bed, table, and dressing table.
"Hmm?"
In the end.
Yan Poyue's gaze fell on the dressing table not far away.
"Have you ever grown flowers and plants in the house?" Yan Poyue suddenly asked.
The servant girl shook her head and said gently,""It's probably because of the medicinal fragrance. The flowers and plants that are moved into the house will die soon.”
Yan Poyue stared at the girl,"When did you start feeling uncomfortable?"”
The servant girl thought about it carefully and smiled."About half a year after I married Second Master.”
"When did this dressing mirror come?" Yan Poyue asked again.”
Dressing mirror--
"This is the Pear Blossom Mirror prepared by Second Master. I like it very much.”At this point, the servant girl suddenly raised her head, her face pale."Could it be…Could it be…this mirror!”
"On the night I married Second Master, I had a dream. In his dream…this mirror had appeared. It told me in my dream…it said…"
