Chapter 213 The Pale-Faced Scholar
However, when the talisman burned out, Shen Luo did not see any Yin Qi being drawn out.
"Take me to Miss Shuiyuan's boudoir." Bai Xiaotian frowned slightly and said to Feng's mother.
Feng Ma immediately agreed and took a few people back to the Shui Nuan Pavilion and went up to a boudoir on the second floor facing the river. The room was filled with the fragrance of powder and the furnishings were a bit messy, still retaining various traces of last night.
Bai Xiaotian once again lit up a Yin Sha Qi-drawing talisman and walked around the house holding it between his fingers. He watched the talisman's fire gradually extinguish but could not find anything unusual.
"It doesn't seem to be wrong." Bai Xiaotian couldn't help but ponder.
"Don't rush to conclusions. Didn't a Qingguan drown in the river earlier? Why not go to her boudoir and have a look?" Shen Luo said.
"The Taoist priest in Yinque's room has checked it, and there is nothing wrong with it." Taoist Baishui frowned, glanced at Shen Luo with some dissatisfaction, and said.
"Now that you're here, why not watch it again?" Shen Luo just smiled and said.
When Taoist Baishui heard this, a trace of anger flashed across his face.
"Since the real person has already checked, there must be no problem. It's just that this junior was ordered to come to investigate the matter. You might as well take another look and explain to your father when you go back." Seeing this, Bai Xiaotian quickly smoothed things over and said.
"This statement...makes sense." Taoist Master Bai Shui's expression softened slightly after hearing this.
Feng's mother went to get the key, and then opened the copper lock on the door of the adjacent room.
"After Yinque died, I locked up this house and temporarily abandoned it." Feng's mother explained.
Shen Luo and the others walked into the house and saw that the things inside had been cleaned, leaving only the tables, chairs and gums, which were already covered with a light layer of dust.
Bai Xiaotian once again twisted out a piece of Yin Sha Qi Drawing Talisman, put it on it, and started walking around the room.
Shen Luo came to the bedside, pushed open the closed window, and saw the Qinhuai River outside at a glance. When he lowered his head, he saw the body of the obese man again.
The green river water next to the corpse has a dark background, which gives people a sense of depth after looking at it for a long time.
"There is no Yin Qi. It seems to be just a coincidence and nothing weird." Bai Xiaotian said after the talisman in his hand burned out.
"Just because you can't detect the presence of Yin Qi doesn't prove that there's no weirdness. I think there must be something fishy about this matter. You'd better not conclude it so easily." Hearing this, Shen Luo looked away from the river and frowned.
"Humph, where did the great monk come from? The eldest son and I have seen it and there is no problem, but you insist on saying that there is a ghost. Tell me, what is the weirdness?" Taoist Master Bai Shui was very unhappy and snorted coldly. said.
Feng's mother looked at Shen Luo with a little anger at this time. Naturally, they didn't want to be involved in the haunting incident when they opened their business, but because of Bai Xiaotian, they didn't dare to speak.
Shen Luo was about to argue when he saw Bai Xiaotian wink at him, signaling him not to say anything.
At the same time, there was a sudden noise from outside the window.
"What's going on? Let's go out and take a look?" Bai Xiaotian said as he took advantage of the situation, and pulled Shen Luo downstairs with him.
Lao Dao and Feng Ma also hurriedly followed out.
When a few people came to the water bank in the backyard, they saw that the people watching the drowned body were surrounding a white-faced scholar in a Confucian shirt, loudly reprimanding something.
Shen Luo listened carefully for a few words and then realized that it was the white-faced scholar who stood on the stone seat of the river water beast in order to look at the body of the shopkeeper Gao from a distance. They thought it was an action to collide with the river god. .
"I said you, this young man, are so ignorant and disrespectful to ghosts and gods. You are not a scholar in the first place!"
"It's just that scholars don't practice the principles of books and come here to join in the fun!"
"If you collide with a river-suppressing water beast, you are seeking death! If a water ghost really seeks your life, you will be the next one..."
"You are silent, you have strange powers and deranged spirits. What you say about gods and ghosts is all nonsense..." The scholar was so scolded by the crowd that he couldn't help but defend himself.
Who would have thought that his voice was not loud, but that Taoist Baishui could clearly hear him and immediately reprimanded him?
"Where do you think you are ignorant and rotten? How dare you talk nonsense there? Why don't you get out!"
This roar, a single voice, overwhelmed the noise of dozens of people on the bridge, so frightened that the scholar couldn't help but tremble.
The people around him paused for a moment, and then began to loudly criticize the scholar.
The white-faced scholar was so embarrassed that he had no choice but to jump down from the stone platform under the water beast. He glanced at Lao Dao from a distance, his eyes accidentally came into contact with Shen Luo, and then he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd. In, missing.
When Shen Luo saw his appearance when he left, and the way he looked at her briefly just now, he always felt a strange feeling of déjà vu, but when he thought about it carefully, he had no memory of it.
Several people returned to Shui Nuan Pavilion. Bai Xiaotian asked Taoist Baishui to continue to stay here and not to let down his guard for the time being, and then left with Shen Luo.
The two returned to the carriage. Bai Xiaotian saw that Shen Luo was silent and thought that he had a grudge because of the dissatisfaction with Taoist Baishui just now, so he smiled and said
"Taoist Baishui has been serving as a priest in my family for many years and has always been dedicated to his work. I must respect him greatly."
In fact, he didn't know that it was the white-faced scholar who Shen Luo was still thinking hard about.
"Do you really believe that what happened in Shui Nuan Pavilion is not weird?" After hearing what Bai Xiaotian said, Shen Luo came back to his senses and asked with a frown.
"I'm not stupid. Four people died in a row in more than half a month. How can it not be strange? It's just that the evil spirit cannot be detected, so there are some things that you can't say casually." Bai Xiaotian smiled bitterly and lowered his voice.
"What do you mean by this? Do you think this is not the work of something sinister?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.
"The Bai family is firmly established as the number one exorcism family in Ye City. Over the years, the Lin family and the Du family have been competing with us overtly and covertly." Bai Xiaotian nodded without saying anything more.
Shen Luo knew in his heart that he suspected that someone was targeting the Bai family and did these things deliberately, but for some reason, he felt that things here might not be that simple.
But what he thinks right now is just his intuition. Without evidence, he can't say anything casually.
"You said you wanted to go out earlier. What are you going to do?" Bai Xiaotian asked.
"I want to go shopping in the shops in the city and see if I can buy things like talisman paper and spiritual materials." Shen Luo said.
"I have a lot of talismans at home. As for spiritual materials, what do you want to buy?" Bai Xiaotian asked doubtfully.
"I didn't think about it. I'll take a look when the time comes. I'll just think it's a gain in knowledge." Shen Luo smiled and said casually.
"Okay, since I have nothing to do at the moment, I will take you to open your eyes. Otherwise, you will have to walk all over Jianye City and not know where to buy these things." Bai Xiaotian smiled.
