Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 145 The World of Ghosts and Monsters 12

Jiang Shuang jumped into the room through the window. The room was pitch black, but she was wearing night vision goggles and could see everything clearly.

This room looks like a storeroom, with only some shelves displaying things like incense, candles, and joss paper.

Seeing that there was no danger in the room, Jiang Shuang gestured to Lin Xiaoqian to come in.

After Lin Xiaoqian came in, the two of them carefully walked to the door and tried to open it.

This room was probably just a simple storeroom; the door wasn't locked.

Jiang Shuang opened the door to a small corridor with another room opposite and a shop on the right.

The shop was quiet at the moment, with various funeral supplies on the shelves and burial clothes hanging on the wall.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang moved forward cautiously, a faint scent of incense filling the air.

Jiang Shuang gripped her weapon tightly, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.

Lin Xiaoqian followed closely behind her, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

They slowly approached the shop counter, which was decorated with various items, a ceramic teapot, and a ceramic teacup.

The teapot and teacups are a set, and they look to be made of high-quality materials.

There were some tea stains at the bottom of the teacup, which were probably traces of unfinished tea evaporating.

Jiang Shuang lifted the teapot; the tea leaves inside had already unfurled but then dried out again.

“Sister Hong has indeed not been in the shop these past few days,” Lin Xiaoqian said.

Nothing seemed amiss in the shop, so that left only that room.

That room was undoubtedly locked.

But this didn't stop Lin Xiaoqian and his companion. After prying open the door, a strange fragrance wafted out, mixed with a faint stench; it was quite unpleasant to smell.

As soon as Lin Xiaoqian and the other person smelled the odor, they immediately held their breath and took out gas masks to put on their faces.

The room was quite simple, with only a table and chairs, a wardrobe, a narrow bed, and a shelf.

The bed was neatly arranged, with only a white sheet on it.

There was only a white lab coat hanging in the closet; nothing else.

There was a row of small glass jars on the shelf, all of them empty.

There was a box under the shelf containing some long nails and three candlesticks with an antique design and unlit wax inside.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang felt a strange sense of disgust upon seeing the three candlesticks.

At this time, neither of them knew that after practicing cultivation techniques, they had spiritual energy within their bodies, which would naturally make them resistant to some evil things.

Candlesticks made using evil magic are considered malevolent objects.

However, the two of them had come in looking for something sinister. Jiang Shuang frowned and put the candlestick and the box into a separate storage bag.

Seeing that there were still a few books on the table, they were also put away.

The two searched around for a long time, but finding nothing else of value, they left the way they came.

When Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang returned to the restaurant, they probably felt that the candlestick had an unpleasant aura and were afraid of tainting the restaurant, so they did not take it out. Instead, they took out a few books and placed them on the table.

Everyone picked them up and looked through them.

It wouldn't be entirely accurate to say that all those books were books. Only one of them resembled an ancient book, with a yellowed cover and pages and no title. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a book that taught people how to create poisonous insects.

The other books seem to be study notes for this book.

"There's actually such a thing as Gu magic?" Zhuang Damao and Liao Zhuang were speechless with astonishment.

In the Flower Kingdom, it is said that there used to be such things in the Miao region, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was forbidden for them to become spirits. As times have progressed and people have become more scientific, Gu magic has gradually become only a legend.

Upon suddenly seeing this ancient book teaching people how to make Gu poison and related study notes, Zhuang Damao and Liao Zhuang were shocked, but not entirely surprised.

Because Lin Xiaoqian had told them during the day that Yun Gu recovered after vomiting up a dead worm.

Lin Xiaoqian gently turned the pages of the yellowed ancient book, her brows furrowed.

"I think I know why Sister Hong hasn't killed Aunt Yun yet."

Several people looked at her, and Lin Xiaoqian pointed to a page in the ancient book to show them.

"The Netherworld Candle is made from corpse oil. But this corpse oil is extremely special. It requires a kind of Gu worm to be raised inside a person's body for three years, torturing that person and causing them pain. Then, the seven orifices of the person's body are nailed with Soul-Suppressing Nails to lock the soul inside the body. At that time, the physical body is dead, but the soul is still trapped in the body in pain, which will breed malice. Candles made from corpse oil refined from such a corpse can attract ghosts."

Hearing Lin Xiaoqian's words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

But Lin Xiaoqian didn't finish speaking. She continued, "Once the corpse oil is extracted, we can use a secret method to refine the soul into an evil spirit, which can be used for our own purposes."

OMG!

Are they listening to some ghost story?

Zhuang Damao touched the white sweat on his arm and said, "Truly worthy of being called a world of ghosts and monsters, it's really eerie!"

Jiang Shuang's expression was also not good: "Then the Soul-Suppressing Nails and the Netherworld Candles are in that box, right?"

It was an affirmative sentence, and judging from Shuangjie's expression, she was already certain in her heart.

What a disgusting thing!

Jiang Shuang threw the storage bag containing the Netherworld Candle and the Soul-Suppressing Nail onto the table.

unlucky!

Everyone looked at the storage bag on the table and felt a strong sense of disgust.

"What are you talking about?" Mo Ying's voice came from the shop entrance.

Everyone followed the sound.

"Mo Ying?"

"You're back?"

"How's it going? Is everything alright?"

Mo Ying crossed his arms, looking proud: "With me in charge, of course there's no problem."

Seeing that his face and lips were pale, Lin Xiaoqian asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"

Mo Ying waved his hand: "It's nothing. I just got entangled with a demon. That demon was quite powerful and a bit tricky. I suffered a minor injury, but it's nothing serious. Anyway, I eventually refined it."

Of course, things weren't that simple. Mo Ying's initial refining of the two evil spirits went relatively smoothly, but when he arrived at the location of the third evil spirit, he suddenly discovered that people were starting to attack him and protect the evil spirit. At that time, his demonic power had returned to a considerable extent, so he dealt with both the people and the evil spirit.

Until yesterday, when he arrived at the last evil spirit, someone had actually set up a trap to deal with him in advance. He was confident in his strength as a great demon and didn't take them seriously. As a result, he suffered a loss and almost died there.

Even the strongest can be vulnerable to underhanded tactics.

Mo Ying was trapped by the formation and had been entangled with that group of people and a ghost since yesterday.

I don't know what happened, but today that evil spirit suddenly started attacking indiscriminately, even tearing apart its own people in a physical sense.

He was able to seize the opportunity to kill that group of people and then refine the evil spirit.

Since he was already back and had refined all the evil spirits, there was no need to tell Lin Xiaoqian and the others.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoqian and the others were only concerned about Mo Ying's safe return and didn't ask any further questions.

She also told him about Aunt Yun and Sister Hong.
