on his back, following him blindly.Someone whispered beside me: "This woman must be on drugs, she looks so spaced out."I wryly smiled. Even if he walked with me, the world would only see me.》》》On the...In the middle of the circular flowerbed on the rooftop, there grew a small tree.

At this moment, a gray-white little man under the tree is smiling at me, showing his sharp teeth.

What is this!

A child!

I was so frightened that I felt dizzy. I tried my best to steady myself and reached out to take the jade Ruyi.

"...Who's child are you" There shouldn't be any more "people" specimens in this house!

"Hee hee…" The grayish-white figure continued to smile at me, without answering my questions.

His outline was terrifying, his head as big as a fight drum, and his body thin and spindly. He didn't look like a normal child's ghost!

Women and infants, these two categories of people are naturally sensitive with delicate and ever-changing emotions. Once their souls appear, they mostly pose difficult problems.

I dare not slack off. In one hand, I gripped the jade Ruyi, and in the other, I performed the Ghost-Binding Technique.

Interlace the second, third, fourth, and fifth fingers, open a hole in the center, and pinch Yinwen with the index finger.

With my current cultivation level, ordinary ghosts and spirits can't escape me.

"Hee hee hee——!!" The child's ghostly laughter was not fleeing, but instead rushed towards me suddenly!!

I ducked my head, avoiding the attack, and invoked a spell to summon my longsword.

Unless it's a demon, I usually wouldn't dare or want to use this sword to slash and hack.

After all, a vengeful spirit is a link in the cycle of reincarnation. Destroying it at will goes against the principles of yin and yang.

But this child's laughter was very menacing!

It's better to hear a ghost cry than a ghost laugh.

This is common sense that has been passed down through generations in the circle. Ordinary means are probably useless against this kind of ghost.

I thought the child was charging at me. After dodging, I went around behind him, but saw him throw himself down by the door of the hut, hands and feet on the ground, pressed against the door frame.

Slowly turned his head to look at me.

A pair of grayish-white eyes, devoid of pupils.

He chewed on the ghostly serpent, devouring it with a slightly boastful air right before me.

What, what's going on!

Is he "stealing" these spirits from me

Jiang Qiyun left me and went to speak to Dabao for a few moments before returning to the rooftop.

His aura was too familiar to me. As soon as he appeared, I reached out and grabbed him, pointing with the jade Ruyi towards the entrance of the small house—

"Qi Yun, there's a child's ghost here!"

Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly and glanced at him, asking, "Where"

"Huh Right—" at the door.

My words died on my lips, for the child was gone from the doorway.

My goodness, this can't be true! That little imp was just smiling and trying to steal the ghost from me a moment ago!

“He, he suddenly appeared under the tree!” I pointed to the small tree and said: “I was preparing a ritual to ward off evil spirits, that kid popped up out of nowhere, giggling mischievously, and rushed over to bite the snake’s spirit, swallowing it…”

Jiang Qiyun's face was somewhat solemn, he frowned and said: "Don't worry, I believe in you."

I let out a small sigh. Things have been so chaotic lately, one thing after another with no clear direction or end in sight. I can barely keep my own thoughts straight.

"What did the child look like" Jiang Qiyun pressed.

"I can't see clearly... but it's very large, with thin limbs, and its eyes are gray-white without pupils!" I said, a bad feeling growing in my heart.

Such eyes... I should have seen them before...

And this child suddenly appeared, suddenly disappeared, I couldn't feel his aura beforehand at all—indicating that his cultivation level is far higher than mine.

Jiang Qiyun's face also confirmed my guess.

He frowned deeply, his hand hidden within the wide sleeves of his robe flying quickly through gestures. A shadowy figure in black appeared beside him.

This apparition I have seen before… His spirit often patrols near my home at night—he is the Night Walking Spirit.

According to ancient texts, the Night Parade God is the deity responsible for patrolling at night. They oversee the well-being of mortals and the wandering spirits during the evening hours, taking shifts with the Day Parade God.

Usually, when you see him, he is a wisp of a figure in wide robes and flowing sleeves, drifting through the streets. But at this time, with Jiang Qiyun summoning him, it must be the true spirit of the Night Wanderer God.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness..." Yé Yóu Shen rushed forward with clouds rising as he performed a grand bow. Then, he bowed deeply to me.

I bowed hastily in return, and he smiled politely with a twinkle in his eye.

His face was sharp and small, with a delicate, pointed nose. The tip of his nose and cheeks were flushed red, probably the kind of face shape that influencers dream of these days.

But when paired with the gloomy aura surrounding him, his smile appeared rather eerie.

"Has there been any wandering spirits of children around here lately" Jiang Qiyun asked.

"To the Emperor, although there are such things, nothing has been found that violates yin and yang. The ghost messengers under the jurisdiction of City God diligently carry out their duties, and no Yin souls on the death register have escaped or lingered." He answered respectfully, and even smiled at me: "Your Highness's location, City God wouldn't dare to neglect."

OMG, this is pretty far from my house, right The City God has a really big territory!

" ...Just now she saw a child's ghost devouring a soul here. It appeared and disappeared suddenly, which is quite strange. You should be more careful during your night patrol. Report any abnormalities immediately." Jiang Qiyun instructed solemnly.

Night Wanderer probably rarely heard the Jade Emperor give such a long order. His smile gradually receded, and he cautiously replied, "Yes, this subordinate will go and inform Day Walker, and we will patrol together."

Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly, his figure gradually disappearing.

Jiang Qiyun's hand was gripping my wrist under his robe, scrutinizing the entire rooftop.

"Qi Yun... you, you don't scare me, things are serious" I rarely saw him so serious.

"There are no corpses here, this sudden apparition should be here to devour these ghosts, and it disappeared the moment I appeared. I only caught a glimpse of something strange... It indicates that this ghost is not only highly alert but also has deep cultivation... Are you injured"

I shook my head quickly, "No, I was just about to set up a small talisman array to appease these animal spirits. Otherwise, I'm worried the elderly and children in this area would be affected... Just as I finished setting it up, I heard laughter, and then the child seemed to think I was trying to steal the ghost from him..."

That "hi hi" laughter was truly grating and eerie, a sound that stuck with you long after you heard it.

I have a feeling I've been a bit too casual... I thought it was just that my dad hadn't properly addressed some feng shui or spiritual issues at the old house, but now I'm encountering one strange thing after another.

“I never expected such strange things to happen in such a small, ordinary household,” I whispered.

Jiang Qiyun, with his hands behind his back, lightly nodded. "The world is like a tide, each person has their thoughts, and drops converge... Accumulated day after day, there will always be a day when the momentum breaks out. By tracing back to the source, perhaps we can find the root of the problem."

I glanced at the old U disk in my hand and silently nodded.

》》》

Today is the third day, and the three-day deadline agreed upon with Yin Su Bai has arrived.

Last night, Mrs. Yan's mother passed away, and the hospital was unable to save her.

Mrs. Yan's family recently lost two elderly relatives, causing her to suffer a psychological breakdown. She fainted at the hospital and was admitted.

My "little second brother," Old Chen, is being temporarily detained because he was implicated, and Dabao followed Ms. Yan's brothers closely. I have no one available right now.

I had to ask two disciples of the Shen family to go to the hospital to comfort Mrs. Yan, while I stayed up all night watching the information on the U disk.

The entire USB drive was full, crammed with diary entries, densely packed. At first, they were records of a young teacher's work, occasionally interspersed with family life musings. The content was uneventful.

I don't have time to read them one by one, I can only use the search function. In the latter part, I found my father's name.

"That Mu family boy has caused trouble again, a drop in the ocean becomes a wave—his name is well chosen, but his temperament is too rebellious and willful, hard to tame, hard to tame."

I was taken aback. Jiang Qiyun had also said something similar.an School. These techniques could subdue ghosts, exorcise evil spirits, or even obliterate them completely.Mu Wanchen seemed to be able to control "spiritual beings." Let alone those divine eagles fl...
