The three of them watched his back gradually disappear. Both sides looked into each other's eyes. Wen Baixu took back a step forward and lowered his head to look at the triangular talisman in his hand. He pinched his fingers, raised it and asked Qiu Yu: "Is this useful? And why am I the most important?"

Looking at his hand pointing at her, Qiuyu was about to say something when she heard Qiuyu touching her head and looking at Wen Baixu mysteriously.

“Maybe you’re a secret weapon.”

"Huh? Have you ever seen a secret weapon that looks like me?"

Wen Baixu was puzzled by her words, pointed his finger at the tip of his nose, and looked at Qiu Yu in confusion.

Qiu Yu smiled helplessly upon hearing this, and reached out to touch the boy's head, pretending to comfort him: "Then you don't know how much surprise the huge energy you contain will bring to others."

Wen Baixu felt the temperature coming from his head, and his head was full of black lines, "Energy? Am I a generator?"

As they thought about it, they spoke their mind without thinking. They looked at each other, and they all had a question in their hearts.

"Generator? What is that..."

-----------------

People here are still guessing things like guessing a riddle. In the main hall, everyone has an extremely serious expression. The person sitting in the high position seems to have a trace of nervousness on his face.

Seeing the nervous faces of the people around her, the wife of the Marquis Chong, who was originally the most beloved of the loving couple in the eyes of others, now had a calm expression on her face, which was different from her previous nervous expression.

"My Lord, please don't be anxious. Seeing Mr. Gu's confident look, that posture will keep you safe. My Lord, just..."

As she spoke, she stretched out her handkerchief and gently patted the back of her hand on the table.

"Hmph~ What do you know as a woman? It's almost night time and she's coming again. This time... this time she's going to do something to me."

The person sitting in the main seat had a nervous look on his face. He pushed away the hand that was trying to comfort him, and anxiously expressed a nervous emotion that was different from his usual state.

The woman sitting next to him seemed to be used to it. Although the action just now seemed normal to her, it would be very abrupt in the eyes of others. The woman used a handkerchief to stroke the back of her hand that was hit, her eyes lowered, and after feeling the gazes of others, she smiled embarrassedly at the people around her.

"Mr. Gu, my Lord Marquis doesn't disbelieve you, he is just too nervous. After all, there have been many casualties in the mansion over the past few months, and I am also a woman, and I cannot help the Lord Marquis relieve his worries. This has caused my Lord a lot of hardship, so please make sure to catch the female ghost tonight and bring peace to our mansion and even the whole state. Thank you here."

As she spoke, the woman stood up lightly, dismissed the maid who wanted to help her, squatted slightly, and bowed. Her face was full of anxiety, but her eyes were calm as water...

The man sitting in the lower seat nodded slightly in the direction of the woman. At this time, a man in red walked in with brisk steps.

"Brother, all the flags have been placed, all around and even on the trees."

The man with a smile on his face patted his folding fan towards Gu Yanming and said with a smile

"That's good. Now that everything is ready, we just need to wait for them to come tonight. When the time comes, please hide in the house, my Lord and Madam. Remember not to go out... Remember..."

The woman nodded immediately after hearing this, but the fat man looked worried, with his eyes full of thoughts. It was not until the woman touched his hand that he regained consciousness.

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, I...I will definitely follow your instructions."

The man nodded repeatedly with a panicked look on his face. He turned his head to look at the woman sitting next to him, then turned his head again and saw Gu Yanming and the man in red standing in the hall and about to leave, so he called out to them.

"Master, please make sure you catch her tonight."

"Why... Lord Chongbo doesn't believe me? If you don't believe me... you can ask your man to help you capture her. If he can get out of bed..."

As he spoke, a sarcastic smile gradually appeared on his face, as if he was talking about the Taoist priest, or as if he was making a veiled allusion to someone else.

The fat man's face turned pale and blue when he heard this. He couldn't speak clearly. He could only shake his head in dismay and watched the two people leave.

"One day, sooner or later..."

Before the man finished speaking, he heard the calm voice of the woman beside him, "My Lord, you have to believe in Mr. Gu. This time it will definitely be successful. After all, we didn't do anything, right?"

The man turned around and took a deep look at the woman who was looking at him calmly. Although he said countless words of disgust in his heart, he still had to give the woman dignity for the sake of face. He had to put on a smile, walked to the woman with a flattering face, stretched out his hand to hold the woman's hand and kept stroking it. "Oh~ Madam, it's all because of your husband's excessive impatience just now. It must have hurt, madam."

As he was about to blow, he felt the woman's hand shrink. The man, who was not sincere to begin with, felt embarrassed. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the normal woman, blushing and covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

Suddenly, my heart was overwhelmed by the joy of conquering everything by the man, and I didn't notice the coldness in the eyes on the slightly tilted face.

"Then the lady will protect me, right?"

The fat man thought he had the woman's heart in his hands and asked shamelessly:

The woman quickly changed her angle, grasped the hand of Chongbo Hou, and said to him with eyes full of love: "Of course, the safety of the Marquis is what I wish for, and I will naturally do everything for the safety of the Marquis."

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

The pot-bellied man was delighted to get her accurate answer, and hugged her. The two of them hugged each other, but each of them smiled with ulterior motives.

Night fell quietly soon after the meal. The main hall was empty. Even the gardeners were sent back to their rooms. They were strictly ordered not to leave their rooms before the sun rose. Those who violated the order would be expelled from the house at the risk of death.

As the night fell, the wind blew more and more fiercely. The door of the main hall was closed early by everyone. In the room, except for a shivering man, there was a woman holding a glass Buddhist bead string and chanting sutras, and the three sisters Qiuyu and Qiuyu who had just arrived, and the young man Wen Baixu.

The two sisters and Wen Baixu just walked in from the small door on the side. As soon as they arrived, they seemed to be in an emergency state. They stood on both sides, holding talismans in both hands, waiting solemnly.

"How about...you two sit down for a while. You'll be too nervous when the time comes."

Wen Baixu walked up to them, looked at them, and said with some concern:

"You don't need to worry about this. Just stay still and don't move around."

Qiuyu said in a bad tone

The young man raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qiu Yu who was standing beside him with a serious expression, and slowly retreated. The main hall was now silent except for the sound of the woman chanting.

"I thought you were going to say..."

"say what"

The young man looked at Qiuyu who paused for a moment, and wanted to ask her with a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, a bell sound came from far away, mixed with the sound of wind and snow, and appeared in the young man's ears.

Wen Baixu froze all over instantly, looked out the door into the dark night, and said with trembling lips: "She's here..."

The sound of beads falling could be heard in the main hall, and the woman who was pinching beads and chanting looked out the door in horror. At this moment, there were sounds of incantations and a crackling sound like something hitting the talisman.

The two sisters Qiuyu and Qiuyu in the house quickly took the talisman and stood in front of the door, staring outside without blinking.

The air was still filled with the smell of burnt meat and the sound of flapping wings.

The fighting outside was getting more and more intense, and it seemed to have reached a white-hot stage. Not only outside the house, but also inside the house, the atmosphere had reached its peak.

Suddenly, a cold feeling blew and Wen Baixu shivered, and suddenly a scream of fear came to his ears.

"Ah~ How did you get in? Let go of the Marquis."

A shrill scream pierced the night sky at this moment...
