The sky was getting dark and it was already evening. Gu Chuqing sat there all afternoon and finally succeeded in carving the jade talisman on his hand just as it was getting dark.

She twisted her somewhat stiff neck, stood up from the bench, took the emerald green jade talisman and walked to the memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Gu family. She pressed the jade talisman under the incense burner on the sacrificial table, then pulled out three incense sticks from the side, and focused her eyes.

With a slight shake of his elbow, he lit the incense.

"Dear ancestors, there are only two seedlings left in our Gu family now, and they are still two seedlings that are destined to die. You must bless me to succeed. Only if I live can the Gu family continue to pass on. If unfortunately my name appears in the life and death

According to the book, when Gu Yao comes a hundred years from now, I’m afraid there won’t even be anyone offering incense to you.”

Gu Chuqing put the incense into the incense burner, feeling heavy on her face.

The Gu family has been conquering demons for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot of virtues, but people who walk in Yin and Yang will eventually be unable to escape the five disadvantages and three shortcomings. The Gu family is a bit more serious, and the entire family has been in danger of falling into this predicament.

When Gu Yao was more than a year old, he suffered from a serious illness. Although the illness was cured, the doctor said that he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to have children in the future.

Therefore, she not only shoulders the responsibility of breaking the Gu family's blood curse, but also carries the important responsibility of continuing the Gu family's bloodline.

She had already planned to find a man with strong health and a prosperous family to marry and have children after her fate was broken. She would have several more children, and one of them must have a son and a daughter named Gu, and learn from the Gu family Zhu Youshu.

...well, this desire is very powerful.

Gu Chuqing has deep feelings for the Gu family... She regards the continuation of the Gu family as her own responsibility.

This idea was not instilled in her by her father and uncle Gu, but was born from seeing Gu Yao crossing Yang Qi into the Seven-Star Yangling Lamp when she was young. She would be so weak that she could not move for three days.

Her father, uncle, and brother are all working hard for her, and she has to do something for them.

After Gu Chuqing became wise, she understood why her father and uncle did not use their Yang Qi to cover her Yin Qi, but chose her younger cousin's. Because they knew that she would not live to be twenty...

..

Gu Chuqing put on the incense and restrained the emotions shown in her eyes.

After the incense burned out, she took out the jade talisman under the incense burner, took the cockscomb blood, and dripped it on the jade talisman. Then she opened the tool box, found a red rope from inside, and put the jade talisman around her neck.

This jade talisman is used by her to protect her body.

These two days will not be peaceful, there will definitely be some evil things that will cause trouble for her. She is not afraid of those things, but she is worried that her body will be taken away by her carelessness.

Just in case, get a magic talisman to protect yourself first, so that when the fight comes, she won't have to distract herself from protecting her body.

As night fell, after dinner, Gu Chuqing rushed Ji Hongxiu and Tian Hao back to their room.

After the two of them entered the house, she took a look at the Seven-Star Yangling Lamp placed on the Eight Immortals' table. Her forehead wrinkled slightly, she turned around and moved the Seven-Star Yangling Lamp to the ancestors' altar table, and then took out three copper coins from the tool box.

Place it in three directions of the Seven-Star Yangling Lamp.

"Ancestor, you have to keep this lamp safe. If it goes out, then everyone will finish playing together."

She didn't fool them. If the lights went out and what awaited her was the black and white captivating soul chain, then everyone just finished playing together.

As she finished speaking, a cool breeze blew past her cheeks, as if responding to her words, with a gentle touch of relief.

Gu Chuqing glanced at the memorial tablets of her ancestors, pursed her lips and smiled.

After placing the Seven-Star Yangling Lamp, Gu Chuqing raised her head and glanced at the bottomless night sky, her pupils narrowed slightly, she grabbed seven copper coins from the tool box, gently used her toes on the ground, and suddenly flew to the roof.

She looked at the direction on the roof, her eyebrows slightly lowered, and she threw the seven copper coins in seven directions with her hand.

Gu Chuqing clapped her hands and yawned.

That's almost it. No matter what comes tonight, she wants it to come back.

After jumping off the roof, Gu Chuqing picked up a bucket of water from the well, washed herself, then carried her toolbox into the east wing.

She had gotten up at three o'clock last night and hadn't had any rest until now. She still had a tough battle to fight in the evening, so she had to catch up on some sleep before those things came to her door.

The night is getting darker and darker, and the earth is quiet.

The winding mountains look like ancient giant beasts dormant in the abyss, and they are terrifying.

On a cold night, the wind rustled, and the dead leaves were like a drifting boat, drifting in the wind. The silent mountains seemed to come alive at the stroke of midnight, with a group of shadowy figures, moving forward and back, shuttling in the forest.

In the dark old house, the faint light of the tung oil lamp flickered.

"Meow——!" A cat meowed suddenly.

The cry seemed far away, yet seemed very close at the same time. It was sharp and harsh, with a somewhat eerie tone.

The person who was breathing slowly on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed the moment the cat sounded.

She just woke up, and her eyes suddenly shone like stars.

Gu Chuqing turned her head and glanced out of the window, then quickly got out of bed, put her down jacket on her body, picked up her toolbox, and walked out.

coming...

The thing that came seemed to have some background, and even the ghost cat was frightened by it.

Just say that God will not let her successfully cross the border so lightly!

Gu Chuqing's face was as dark as water, and she walked to the center of the main room, took out three incense sticks from the confession table, and lit them for the ancestors. Then she took off the peach wood sword on the table, stretched her feet, and hooked up a bench sword.

sit down.

"who..."

The noise in the main room woke up Ji Hongxiu and the two who were sleeping.

"I, it's nothing, you continue to sleep." Gu Chuqing said solemnly, but her dark eyes were looking directly at the door outside the hall.

After a question was heard in the west wing, silence fell. The two people who woke up were unable to fall asleep again.

Ji Hongxiu and Tian Hao were sitting on the bed, with deep fear in their eyes.

"Dude, what do we do now?"

Tian Hao tightly held the talisman Gu Chuqing gave him during the day, pulled a corner of the quilt, and looked out the door in fear.

"What should I do? Didn't she say just don't go out? Let's go back to sleep." Ji Hongxiu pretended to be calm, but his hands on the quilt were trembling slightly.

Tian Hao: "How long have you been sleeping? You think... there must be no ghosts!"

Ji Hongxiu: "What's wrong with ghosts? I've been seeing ghosts for three months and I'm still alive. Sleep, sleep..." After saying that, Ji Hongxiu grabbed the quilt and retreated into the bed with him and the others.

"I can't sleep..." Seeing Tian Hao shivering, he also got into the quilt.

"Meow--!"

The cat meowed again.

The voice was very close, as if it was outside the old house, and it sounded a bit like a warning.

Gu Chuqing glanced at the direction where the sound came from, flexed her fingers, and flicked towards the place where the sound came from.

The sharp cat meowing suddenly stopped.

A black shadow suddenly passed over the roof, jumped into the old house like lightning, and disappeared into the darkness.

Outside the hall, several strange sounds were heard, and after a while, it returned to silence.

A dark wind suddenly blew by, and the closed door of the old house creaked, as if someone was pushing the door from outside, and it was being pushed open bit by bit.

After a while, the door was completely opened.

The thick wooden door opened looked like the mouth of hell, filled with a sinister atmosphere.

In the dense gloom, two blurry figures floated forward and back without touching the ground.

They were two men and women wearing red clothes.

Their faces were pale, blue and white, their pupils were white and out of focus, and their bodies were all wet, as if they had just crawled out of the water.

Under their feet, there was a strange pool of sticky bright red.

They just stood outside the gate, looking covetously at the person sitting in the center of the hall.

There was more and more blood on the ground, as if it was going to submerge them. As the blood increased, the two ghosts' vicious aura began to gradually rise.

Upon seeing the two ghosts, Gu Chuqing knew their identities.

Isn't that what the breakfast shop proprietress said, that couple who died just after they got married?

This ghost couple was so persistent that they chased them from Futsin Bridge to the Gu family's old house. She originally thought they would cause trouble near Futsin Bridge, but she didn't expect that they were thinking about her, a delicious steamed bun.

Gee, the temptation of her fragrant steamed buns is really great...

This is more than thirty kilometers of road!

Ha, I just said that God would never see her having an easy time, and she guessed it right.

These two evil ghosts were injured by her last night. It has only been a day. Not only have they recovered from their injuries, but they are even more violent than last night.

Look at the evil they created, it's almost flooding the entire old house.

Gu Chuqing was a little worried.

Her ancient family's old house is not their cemetery. Are you bringing these things here to occupy her old house?

Gu Chuqing raised her stern eyes, glanced at the two ghosts, her breath tightened, and she drew a circle on the ground with the peach wood sword in her hand.

An invisible wave of energy rippled out from the mahogany sword, hitting the seven copper coins she had placed on the roof the previous morning.

The seven copper coins trembled slightly, as if they were activated.
