However, when the talisman burned out, Shen Luo did not see any Yin Qi being drawn out.
"Take me to Miss Shui Yuan's boudoir." Bai Xiaotian frowned slightly and said to Feng's mother.
Feng Ma immediately agreed, and took a few people back to the Water-Warm Pavilion, and went up to a boudoir on the second floor facing the river. The room was filled with the fragrance of makeup and powder, and the furnishings were a bit messy, still retaining various traces of last night.
Bai Xiaotian lit up a Yin Baleful Qi Guiding Talisman again, walked around the room holding it between his fingers, and watched the talisman fire gradually extinguish, but could not find anything unusual.
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it." Bai Xiaotian couldn't help but ponder.
"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Didn't Qing Guan also drown in the river earlier? Why not go to her boudoir and have a look?" Shen Luo said.
"Yin Que's room has been inspected and there is nothing wrong with it." Whitewater Daoist frowned, glanced at Shen Luo with some dissatisfaction, and said.
"Since you're here, why not watch it again?" Shen Luo just smiled and said.
Whitewater Daoist heard this, and 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 it to your father when you go back." Bai Xiaotian saw this and quickly smoothed things over.
"This statement... makes sense." Daoist Bai Shui looked slightly relieved 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 Yin Que died, I locked up this house and temporarily abandoned it." Feng's mother explained.
Shen Luo Several people 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 twisted out a piece of Yin Baleful Qi Guiding Talisman again, clicked it, and started walking around the room.
Shen Luo came to the bedside, pushed open the closed window, and saw the Qinhuai River scene 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 burning out the talisman in his hand.
"Just because you can't detect the presence of Yin Qi doesn't prove that there is no weirdness. I think there must be something fishy about this matter. You'd better not conclude it 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?" Daoist Bai Shui was very unhappy and snorted coldly.
Feng's mother looked at Shen Luo with a little anger in her eyes. 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 a few words, when Bai Xiaotian winked 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 have a look?" Bai Xiaotian said as he took advantage of the situation, and pulled Shen Luo together to walk downstairs.
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 pedestal of River-Quelling Water Beast in order to look at Shopkeeper Gao's body 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!"
"I collided with River-Quelling Water Beast, I'm looking for death! If Water Ghost really takes his life, you will be next..."
"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 Whitewater Daoist could clearly hear it, and he immediately reprimanded:
"Where do you think you are ignorant and rotten? How dare you talk nonsense there? Why don't you get out!"
This roar, the voice of one person, drowned out 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 the old man from a distance, his eyes accidentally came into contact with Shen Luo, and then he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
Shen Luo Seeing his appearance when he left, and the way he briefly looked at her 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 the Water-Warm Pavilion. Bai Xiaotian told Whitewater Daoist to continue to stay here and not to relax their vigilance for the time being, and then left with Shen Luo.
The two returned to the carriage. Bai Xiaotian saw that Shen Luo was silent, thinking that he had a grudge because of the dissatisfaction with Whitewater Daoist just now, so he smiled and said:
"Whitewater Daoist has been serving as a worshiper in my family for many years and has always been dedicated to his work. I must respect him greatly."
In fact, how did he know that the person Shen Luo was still thinking hard about was the white-faced scholar.
"Do you really believe that Water-Warm Pavilion's story 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 weird? It's just that Yin Baleful Qi can't be found, so there are some things 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 in confusion.
"Bai Family is firmly in the position of Jianye City Number One Demon-Exorcising Family. Over the years, Lin Family and Du Family have been competing with us overtly and covertly." Bai Xiaotian just clicked and said nothing more.
Shen Luo knew in his heart that he suspected that someone was targeting 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 talisman paper and other 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 take it as 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 said with a smile.
