The reason why Gu Zhisang went straight to this courtyard without any guidance after entering Tianyun Village was because, in her eyes with spiritual perception, the direction of this courtyard was exactly the place with the most yin energy in the whole village.
If Tianyun Village was the inverted underworld, then the place where this courtyard was located was in the hole where yin and yang meet, and it was the place with the most concentrated yin energy in the village that was already shrouded in a layer of gray-black fog.
From a distance, the yin wind howled, like a huge cocoon wrapped in yin.
This was indeed the case. The closer Gu Zhisang got to this house, the more evil spirits hidden in the yin energy there were;
Finally, the place where the yin energy continued to spread outward was the master bedroom.
When Gu Zhisang opened the door of the bedroom, she was ready for a fierce battle with evil spirits inside.
The door was kicked open with a bang, hitting the mossy wall, and the faint yellow candlelight inside overflowed, completely illuminating the gloomy interior.
The master bedroom was strangely decorated.
The walls and windows of the whole room were covered with upside-down “囍” characters, and low-quality red candles were laid out.
On the innermost bed, a figure in a red wedding dress sat upright.
The moment she saw the person in a red wedding dress, Gu Zhisang subconsciously clenched the peach wood sword in her hand, with vigilance when facing evil spirits, ready to kill with the sword at any time.
She had sharp eyes and could see at a glance that the wedding dress was engraved with the patterns of the dead relatives and stained with dried and smelly rotten blood.
The bed under the figure was made of thin coffin boards, and the “curtain” hanging on it was a layer of red gauze paper.
Looking from a distance through the window, it was difficult to see any clues, but after the illusion was gone, and she got closer, she found that the wedding bed, suites, and other items in this room were not real furniture, but simulated objects made in a paper-making shop.
The most important thing was that the red-dressed ‘bride’ was full of evil spirits, which was the trigger that formed the wind and attracted Gu Zhisang.
The last time Gu Zhisang felt such a strong evil spirit from a ghost was when she strangled a ghost king-level ghost who escaped from the ice hell eight hundred years ago.
The red-dressed ‘bride’ full of evil spirits, coupled with the weird scene of red candles and paper beds in the room, it was no wonder that she took this person as a vicious creature in Tianyun Village at first glance.
But after a few seconds of vigilance, the red-dressed ‘bride’ sitting on the bed was quiet and had no reaction, and did not rush over to deal with her uninvited guest.
Gu Zhisang frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.
She didn’t seem to notice too much resentment in this room.
When the atmosphere was a stalemate, she suddenly thought of something.
She had encountered this kind of evil not long ago, not from the evil spirit, but from the son Yan Family, Yan Cheng, who almost lost control and exploded to death.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhisang couldn’t help but have an absurd guess in her mind.
The ‘bride’ sitting on the bed, could it be Yan Cheng?
She chuckled at this nonsensical guess, but she didn’t relax her vigilance at all.
She raised her arm holding the peach wood sword, and she used the tip of the sword to pick up the pottery jar on the table beside her. She swung the heavy hemispherical porcelain and smashed it directly at the red-dressed figure in front of the couch.
Gu Zhisang’s angle was subtle and precise, allowing the porcelain to pass by the veil of the ‘bride’, and the airflow blew the red cloth crooked, hanging by the ear and swaying.
At the same time, the porcelain also smashed hard on the innermost wall of the coffin board and the wedding bed, breaking into a handful of broken pottery pieces.
A sharp whistle sounded from the pottery jar, and a ball of gray mist drilled out of it, and instantly expanded into a ghost with a human upper body and a blurry lower body.
Seeing this, Gu Zhisang was a little surprised.
She didn’t expect that there was such a slow ghost hidden in the pottery jar.
It seems that it was a “jar ghost” that ran up from the hole opened between the Yin and Yang worlds after Tianyun Village became the “hell” on earth. This was a kind of ghost that specialized in living in jars. Its ability was not strong.
Like the fierce ghost she just killed outside, they were all small minions guarding this yard.
It should be sleeping in the jar. Such a loud noise outside did not attract its attention. It was only when the pottery jar where it was hiding was broken that the ghost woke up.
The ghost that seemed to be furious bared its fangs and claws and rushed toward Gu Zhisang, but it was just bluffing.
Although the ‘jar ghost’ was slow, it was not stupid. When it saw Gu Zhisang appearing alone in the master bedroom with a dignified aura, and no other ghosts were guarding around to stop him, it was a strong man.
After roaring twice, it quickly ran away from the bedroom close to the ground and fled into the night.
‘Boss, a living person from the world of the living is here to grab the bride!’
Gu Zhisang: “……”
Before she could react, the red cloth veil that was originally half hanging on the ear of the ‘bride’ and was about to fall off was completely scraped off by the fleeing ghost and fell on the figure’s legs.
The appearance under the veil was completely exposed.
When she saw the face of the person in the red wedding dress, Gu Zhisang’s eyes widened in surprise:
“Yan Cheng?!”
The person on the bed, with a stiff body and blood-stained red clothes, was Yan Cheng who was kidnapped by the deputy headmaster of the Qianqing Sect and disappeared in Tianyun Village!
When their eyes met, the pale-faced young man didn’t expect that the intruder was Gu Zhisang. When he realized his situation, he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block himself from such an embarrassing situation, but his limbs were heavy, and he could not move. He could only let the astonished Gu Zhisang look up and down.
Soon, the young man’s face, which had lost blood and turned white due to long-term torture and pain, was covered with a thin layer of red, and even the tail of his eyes was covered with a faint red mark.
Realizing that Yan Cheng could not speak or move, Gu Zhisang hurriedly took two steps forward.
As soon as she got close, she could feel the strong evil spirit on Yan Cheng. The acupuncture points of the young man in front of her were opened, and the evil spirits from all directions were gathering crazily.
The pain of the evil spirits eroding his tendons, veins, blood, and flesh made Yan Cheng, who was used to suffering for many years, break out in a cold sweat.
After Gu Zhisang broke the imprisonment spell and the silence spell on him, the exhausted young man leaned forward and was caught by Gu Zhisang who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
“Are you okay?”
Gu Zhisang pursed her lips as soon as her palm touched the young man’s shoulder. She took the opportunity to grab one of Yan Cheng’s arms and pressed her palm against his.
At the moment of skin contact, the evil spirits that almost tore Yan Cheng’s tendons and veins and were on the verge of collapse seemed to have found an outlet for venting and were all dissolved and absorbed by Gu Zhisang.
The power of thunder and fire mixed in it tempered Gu Zhisang’s bones, which was equivalent to strengthening her body.
About ten minutes later, the out-of-control evil spirit in Yan Cheng was finally stabilized below the out-of-control line.
His pale thin lips also had a faint blood color, and his red clothes were as red as fire, with a jade-like face and a sharp nose, like a handsome male ghost crawling out of hell.
After taking a closer look and touching it twice, Gu Zhisang understood what was wrong with the ‘bride’ covered with a red cloth veil at first sight.
Yan Cheng was slender, almost 1.9 meters tall, and was taller when sitting.
