After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 317

"It looks like there's a skeleton in here."

Jiang Wan leaned forward to take a look before retreating to An Jiuxi's side.

"How many people died in this dry well?" An Jiuxi asked helplessly. She squatted down and dug through the clean sand and stones. After seeing the runes engraved on the bones, her face suddenly turned cold!

"Who could be so vengeful as to carve these things on bones!"

Seeing her angry, Jiang Wan looked at her curiously.

Before I could get close, I was pushed away.

"Spirit Binding Technique, stay away."

As An Jiuxi spoke, she stepped forward and touched the runes.

Where her fingers touched, the runes glowed with a faint red light, and the aura emanating from them sent chills down one's spine.

An Jiuxi murmured to herself, trying to unravel the runes on it.

However, the runes are numerous and extremely complex.

She was sweating profusely as she untied each one, and by the time she untied the fifth one, her face had turned deathly pale.

Unable to hold on any longer, he let go and leaned against the wall, panting.

Jiang Wan stood there with concern, "This is so difficult to make, it's not an ordinary spirit-trapping talisman, is it?"

Given this little girl's current strength, she could easily deal with an ordinary spirit-trapping talisman in no time.

How could it be so mentally taxing!

"Mm." An Jiuxi nodded, took out two bottles of medicine and drank them.

Sensing the gradually recovering spiritual energy within the spiritual sea, he moved around a bit. "Before dying, the person who placed this rune used their own soul to deepen the rune, turning the Spirit-Trapping Rune into a Spirit-Trapping Array. This array can trap a spirit with great fortune in the family's fortune, protecting the people of this lineage."

"Within three generations, they will achieve great success and prosperity, and from then on, their business will flourish and their family will prosper."

"It is an extremely inhumane method."

This is what is known as possession of another's destiny.

They would torture and kill people from other families with strong luck, then use their blood to inscribe runes on their bones.

In order to ensure that the family's fortune would nourish their descendants, the bones were placed in a place where they would never see the light of day. Once the fortune was plundered, the bones would automatically turn to black ash and disappear from the world.

Even if someone suspects it, they won't find anything!

An Jiuxi's eyes darkened, her hands clenched into fists at her sides, a storm brewing in her eyes.

"It now appears that this was placed here by the An family, but we don't know which generation it belonged to."

She could sense a faint ancestral aura on the runes, but this aura didn't seem to belong to the direct line; rather, it seemed to be... a collateral branch?

Jiang Wan glanced at the dozen or so runes remaining on the skeleton, then looked at An Jiuxi's expression.

"Can we take this with us? I'm worried that after you've finished, someone might take advantage of the situation to harm you."

An Jiuxi understood this as well.

After all, it's uncertain whether that person might suddenly come back.

However, thinking about what happened when she came here with Bai Pu and the others, An Jiuxi guessed that this was the skeleton that couldn't be brought up.

But putting this thing here doesn't make a difference.

An Jiuxi had no choice but to hold the white bone in her hand and wrap it with spiritual energy.

"let me try."

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped upwards.

"Oh!"

Jiang Wan narrowed her eyes and silently reached out to fan away the drifting dust.

He looked at the little girl who had fallen heavily to the ground, grimacing and rubbing her bottom.

"It seems we can't bring this up."

An Jiuxi gasped and stood up, leaning against the wall. "You're gloating, but I'm in so much pain."

If she had known the impact would be so great, she should have been more careful.

My butt almost got ripped open!

An Jiuxi put the bones back in their original positions and set up a layer of protection.

Only then did he pull Jiang Wan along and carefully lead her out of the dry well.

"Come back tomorrow, go back first."

I'm afraid I can't handle it all at once by myself.

If we call Bai Pu and Yuan Xiaofei over tomorrow, we can completely solve the problem!

Meanwhile, inside Shuiyun Residence.

A figure appeared in the second-floor corridor. Chi Anru was wearing a white nightgown, the hem of which fluttered in the wind.

My footsteps slowly came to a stop at the door of the master bedroom.
