Missing

in family is very closely connected to ours. Every time something happens, we always trouble their siblings.The scene was a little awkward at this moment, Jiang Qiyun stood beside me, while Lin Yanhua...Is she Shen Qingrui

I nodded and said, "Just now, a little girl ran to the front hall, saying she had something important to report to the master. Master Qiao happened to be at the mountainfront checking things out and wasn't here. Lin Yanhuan, Young Master Lin, followed the little girl to check on the west side. I was worried something might have happened, so I came over to take a look."

Shen Qingrui frowned, saying with a hint of displeasure: "Lin Yanhuan Young Master Lin, please don't cause any trouble in our home. Our Daoist family most dislikes official matters."

Having said that, she removed a wooden hairpin from her head and was about to step into the treasure pavilion.

I unconsciously followed her across the threshold. The little nuns around me didn't dare stop me—they were afraid I might trip and fall if they did.

Shen Qingrui turned her head and glared at me, "Get out! The Shen family's treasure pavilion is not a place for outsiders!"

"Although I don't have the surname Shen, I'm not a complete stranger, am I I still have to call Mu Xia Qiao 'little mistress', besides, I also have treasures stored at the Shen family. I'm here to see how things are."

I'm not as easygoing as that little wife. When it comes to throwing a tantrum, I'm not afraid either.

Shen Qingrui frowned and said, "You're so big with child, don't come in! If anything happens, you won't be able to turn around!"

I don't care, I just squeezed in. She was afraid of bumping my belly, so she gave me some space — this person isn't that bad, at least they know to make way for a pregnant woman.

I walked in and then I realized why she wouldn't let me in, and why this building was shaped so strangely.

Here are rows and rows of L-shaped cabinets, display cases, and bookshelves.

Drawers, boxes, and clasps.

It feels like a narrow labyrinth. With my belly pressing against me, I can only move forward; there's not even space to turn around.

And there were some U-shaped chains hanging down with charms, needing to crouch to get past them. There were also small chains hanging on the ground with charms, it was impossible to walk!

"Don't come in!" Shen Qingrui angrily hissed at me from behind.

She just gave me some space because she was afraid of bumping into me, so I moved forward a bit.

The high skylight of this treasure pavilion should be a mark of a room. There are seven rooms here, all so narrow and cramped, it's very difficult to walk through.

When I reached the third room, I didn't dare to go any further.

All eerie vibes are imprisoned by the chain talisman of the fourth treasure room.

A suffocating aura, like a swollen balloon, threatened to burst the wards protecting the room at any moment.

Shen Qingrui also felt this strangeness. She suddenly grabbed my arm, startling me. I turned back to look, and her eyes flashed with a hint of panic and fear. With her eyes, she signaled for me not to move.

Do not move.

Because there seems to be something in the room ahead...

From the crack in the L-shaped bookcase, a heavy and murky aura spread across the floor of the fourth room.

I saw two hands.

A man's hand reached down, covering a small hand. There were black bloodstains on the back of his hand.

My scalp is on fire.

This posture, wasn't it done by Lin Yanhuan to protect that little girl

They were murdered!

The moment this thought flashed through my mind, reason couldn't control my body in time. I instinctively pulled out the small jade tube hanging from my wrist—

The moment the spirit of the weasel burst out, the formation was repeatedly bombarded by the monstrous and evil aura. The chains hanging in the room suddenly swayed.

Ordinary people might not feel the "fear" and "desperation" of a formation being broken. To break through a formation is tantamount to declaring your powerlessness.

If a sage raises his morality by one foot, the demons will raise theirs by ten.

Many people don't understand the true meaning of this sentence and think it means "Tao cannot subdue demons"

Actually, this sentence is a warning to those seeking enlightenment.

No matter how profound your practice, evil, temptation, and demonic obstacles will always come more intensely. Practitioners must never be complacent or self-satisfied; they must always be vigilant and aware.

I understand the principle, but when I actually saw "a higher level of magic" appear, I was still very flustered.

Shen Qingrui was the same, she forced down her trembling voice and whispered: "Let's go, slowly back out."

“Get out! Not save anyone!” I was stunned.

“Who are we saving! This isn’t some petty thief or vengeful spirit! This is the gaping maw of chaos, who knows what demons lurk within! What makes you think we can save anyone! We'll just be adding two more corpses to the pile!” Shen Qingrui stared at the inky black aura slowly spreading from the fourth room, her face ashen.

Such a proud woman, if it weren't for the urgent situation, she wouldn't even bother with a direct confrontation before running away.

But I... how could I not save him He's Lin Yanhuan, he's helped us so much.

Both publicly and privately, I can't abandon him! Besides, he seems to have fallen because he was protecting that little girl.

Look at the way those hands are overlapping, she must have been pinned under him. If she can't speak, there's still hope!

I flung Shen Qingrui's hand away and taunted, "Isn't this a crucial location for your Shen family The Treasure Pavilion has been infiltrated, and you haven't even caught the thief. Are you just going to run yourselves What kind of evil spirits or ghosts have scared you so—"

“This is a malevolent spirit!” Shen Qingrui roared. “You haven’t seen the world, don’t pretend to know everything! This isn’t just a matter of yin and yang! Behind the chaotic portal isn’t the underworld! Who knows what realm lies behind it Gods, demons, humans, ghosts—anything could be there! Corpse demons used to hide in such portals before—I tell you this for nothing! If you want to die, I don’t care!”

She claimed she didn't want to deal with me, but in reality, she forcefully pulled my arm back.

She pulled me back a few steps, and I angrily shouted, “Didn’t you come to save me Aren’t those just demons and monsters!”

"Aren't they just demons and ghosts Back then, one or two people created those demons and ghosts, almost taking the lives of several elders! It was only when the Emperor took action to purge them that things were resolved! It still took a lot of effort—"

She didn't hesitate, and she couldn't tell how much of a psychological shadow the "corpse demon" had cast over her before.

I'm not afraid.

Fear is not something to be afraid of.

The barrier formation within this room has been broken. I sense a powerful aura breathing heavily in the darkness.

Fear, run away.

Perhaps the moment we turned our heads was the moment of our demise.

Bearing the venomous Gu and nurtured by the bloodline of the Witch King, my sensitivity has surpassed that of ordinary people.

If it weren't for the powerful magic formations protecting the Shen family treasure chamber, I would have felt this terrifying aura, like a volcano on the verge of eruption, from eight hundred miles away and fled long ago!

Now it's so close, are we just going to run away without any resistance Can we even escape

"...Anyway, anyway the formation's already broken, might as well go all out...Just don't worry about me later, run away yourself." I whispered.

"What did you say" Shen Qingrui looked at me in surprise.

I secretly clenched the sword formula. The weasel's ghost spirit in front of me grew to the size of a man, its dark eyes fixed on the door of the fourth room.

Those black emanations seemed to climb out like vines.ned to wrap me in blankets and carry me back to the Witch King's city to sleep. Only then did I shrink back under the covers shamefacedly, watching him disappear from my bedside.Sigh... Love is a pois...
