620 Reflections

maids watch them."That's not okay either! Letting outsiders watch the children and then... you know Where would we put our faces"Maybe I could go with my brother and sister-in-law this time." I repl...It's really creepy to transmit information this way.

It was a shallow cut, just carving out the words: "People are in my hands."

What does this mean The master of the puppet must definitely be Yin Shuai Yue. Last time she created such an eerie path right at my doorstep, and Xiao Nie even bit off the head of a puppet.

What did she mean Does she mean my brothers are in her hands

Is it a threat, or are they trying to tell me "don't worry"

Old Wang seems about to tear his face. On his turf, my brother, Qinyi, and Little Nie and Xiaoxing have disappeared. I don't believe he didn't play dirty behind the scenes.

Quanheng had the four people in red and ink cloaks form a defensive circle in the four corners of the courtyard. He whispered to me, "Little Lady, besides guarding against demons and spirits, we must also guard against humans. Demons and spirits can be dragged into the underworld or wiped out completely, but humans are much more troublesome... It's best if we could—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a cluster of flashlight beams suddenly illuminated us from behind.

A voice shouted, "What are you doing! Are you going to fight"

This must be the neighborhood watch, right I was about to turn around and explain myself when the little boy immediately grabbed my wrist with both hands.

"Don't go! Don't go! It's fake!" he cried anxiously.

Fake

The person who called me was getting closer and closer to the entrance of my house, finally stopping three feet from the doorstep.

This person… what’s wrong with this person

Its eyes were hollow and stared blankly at my house. Its eyeballs seemed motionless, holding a flashlight in its hand, its mouth wide open, saliva dripping uncontrollably.

"Soul snatching" I glanced at the young boy. He pulled out a bamboo stalk from his waist, snapped it in two, and transformed it into a walking stick, resembling a hiking pole.

He carefully reached out and poked the man. The man didn't move.

"What are you doing! Are you fighting!" The same shout echoed from the darkness again!

We were surprised! Someone else is coming! This is getting out of hand.

The little boy cried out, "Ahhhh! Where did these nasty old goblins come from!"

Old spirits, goblins and ghouls are all mountain spirits and tree monsters. They aren't very intelligent and are considered lower-tier demons. Most of them focus on deceiving humans.

Demons and goblins are not scary, but if there are so many people who are bewitched and lose consciousness gathered at my doorstep, that would be a real hassle!

We can't exterminate humans, can we

These are all old men and women, if they get hurt, we'll have to be cheated out of money!

"Looks like someone's about to cause trouble tonight! You go inside and watch over the people in my house!" I told Quan Heng.

He has more experience than me, so I feel at ease with him in charge of this courtyard. I'll handle the situation outside myself.

Dad and the little wolf demon came out. Dad was carrying my brother's Cosmos Sword, and the little wolf demon actually pulled out a fire sword similar to a long dagger from his own shoulder.

I was speechless: "Greed Wolf, what is this"

"Life force, eh" said the gluttonous wolf calmly.

Soulfire! Two flames on a person's shoulders, you draw out the soulfire to form a "sword"!

This kid's got such a strong life force! He can actually wield his life force as a sword, and he doesn't even get hurt.

"Who taught you that" That was a huge shock.

"Um... it was my senior martial uncle's husband who taught me this... When he treated my injuries, he said he would give me a way to defend myself, and this is it." He raised the short sword in his hand.

It turns out that Jiang Qiyun also knows how to thank him for saving Yu Gui and You Nan... He even secretly passed him a sharp technique.

With flames as swords, exorcising ordinary evil spirits and demons is a piece of cake.

Dad and the gangster stood on either side of the door, and Dad said to me: "Xiao Qiao, you go in. These things won't dare to come in, they're just blocking the door. I'll be here watching. Even if the police show up, I can talk my way out."

Dad and the "Greedy Wolf" were guarding the door with two "great swords". I went back to my room to check on the two children.

Grandma remained calm. Except for the last time she saw the child fall into the Corpse Swamp and was so scared that she doted on the child even more, she was mentally prepared for any sudden situation. I saw that on the small table beside her was a string of talismans.

"Xiao Qiao, what audacious thing has come knocking again" Grandma asked.

I nodded. "I reckon Old Wang will be furious. His son-in-law should be here soon. It's fine, we just need to hold out."

"If it's the last batch, this time we're going to settle the score! We can't let them bully my grandson for nothing! I brought a lot of thunder charm fire talismans this time. Your grandfather said whoever comes knocking, don't be polite, just smash these talismans at him!"

Two children can already sit steadily, but Yu Gui doesn't like to sit and prefers to be held. You Nan is currently sitting on the bed, sucking her finger while staring at me.

This guy, he really is a Q-version Jiang Qiyun! Not only does he look like him, but his eyes are almost identical.

"...Yunan, do you have something to say" I leaned closer to the little guy and bumped his forehead with mine.

Younan reached out and patted my face, two chubby little hands slapping me on the cheeks, which made me laugh. Was this little guy trying to comfort me and say "Don't be afraid"

"Boom!" A dull thud echoed, and the roof even shook!

I reflexively reached out and hugged the two small things under my arms — wasn't I supposed to be in formation What could possibly get in here!

The courtyard was dark, the sky overcast with clouds, and only a faint outline of the moon could be seen.

Has the lunar eclipse not yet faded

A somewhat unfamiliar curse echoed through the courtyard: "Another bastard summoned this star deity! Damn it! Come out, I'll beat you to death!"

The torrent of rage within! What schemes!

I ran out the door and saw him fall into my yard. When our eyes met, we both froze.

Indeed it is, however, however, pff… He even has his hair all disheveled and looks like he hasn't woken up!

Jì dōu nà bào pí qì yī jiàn dào wǒ hòu: “Gǎo shénme guǐ! Nǐ bùshì míngjì de xiǎo niánggū ma Zhè me wǎn le bù péi nǐ hùgōng, zhāoqǐ běn xīngjūn zuò shénme!”

“Who summoned you!” I roared. “You haven't even arrived yet, how dare you speak so recklessly!”

"Not you Then who" He frowned and looked around, "Who have you offended The entire courtyard is surrounded..."

Fallen

"Can't you see This place is covered by a barrier. With your current cultivation level, you wouldn't even know what's happening outside," he sneered, his figure flashing like lightning as he appeared beside me, hoisting me onto the rooftop.

"Look around, the scenery has all changed!"

The surrounding streets and houses have changed! It's not a row of crowded and cramped Siheyuan courtyards anymore, but a long street!

Old Wang's territory, that street!

“This isn't right, this scenery is illusory! It’s reflected from the underworld!” I explained hastily.

"Huh, good eyesight you have." Ji dou sneered: "It is indeed a reflection, however... reflections can also hurt people."

More and more "people" are walking up to my doorstep, one by one, numb and lifeless, just to block my escape route.

The black pit at the entrance grew larger and larger, forming a gaping hole. A wizened old man with a sinister grin crawled out from within.ing breeze brought warmth.I reached up and encircled his solid shoulders, his breath lingering on my lips.Intimate and close.But he didn't dare to press on me, his waist arched slightly, avoiding my b...
