Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 419 The Mage Arrives

The originally noisy room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was weird.

At this moment, even Gao You and Gao Zi couldn't help but tense up their nerves.

They all saw what happened just now and felt that there might be evil spirits at work.

Gao You asked, "Miss, should we leave here first?"

At this moment, Si He looked at the corpse not far away with an indifferent expression, then sat back in his chair and said, "Wait here first, someone will come soon."

Seeing her say this and not seeming afraid at all, the two sisters couldn't help but admire her, and even wondered if what happened just now was her doing.

But they really didn't see any clues.

Gao Zi, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Miss, is this really an evil spirit?"

Normally, the two of them rarely spoke, but today they couldn't help but ask out loud, and the question was also somewhat tentative.

Si He glanced at Gao Zi, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said, "Isn't this normal? Things like this have happened a lot in the Guo family recently."

Gao Zi asked again, "How dare the evil spirit harm people so blatantly in broad daylight?"

Moreover, the victim happened to be Nanny Li, and the time of her death was such a "coincidence". During the confrontation, Gao Zi inexplicably felt that this matter might really be related to her.

Si He picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and said, "Who knows?"

She put down the teapot, picked up the cup, and took a sip of water.

Gao You and Gao Zi didn't say anything else. They stood aside politely, staring vigilantly at the corpse not far away.

After a while, the housekeeper came with a wizard. In addition to the wizard's two disciples, there was also a team of guards. They were all on high alert, holding either peach wood swords or various objects for exorcising evil spirits in their hands. The talismans tied around their necks were also hung out, and the protection was very thorough.

At this time, the sun outside was scorching hot and the sun was shining brightly.

Most of the servants in Xiangxueyuan stood in the middle of the yard, basking in the sun. Although it was hot, they felt more at ease.

When the evil spirits were causing trouble a few days ago, the wizard said that these ghosts and evil spirits cannot stand in the light. As long as they carry talismans and stand in the sun, no evil spirits will dare to approach them. Running around will easily cause trouble and they will be easily punished afterwards. That's why they stayed in the yard so honestly.

After the wizard arrived, they all waited in the courtyard and followed his instructions.

The mage's surname is Chen. He is not only well-known in Guang'an City, but also well-known in the entire Zhongzhou. He was invited by the Guo family with a large reward.

Although some problems had happened in the Guo family before, after Master Chen came, all the evil spirits were eliminated. However, the old lady of the Guo family still felt uneasy and asked him to stay for a few more days, so he came so quickly.

Master Chen walked into the house with two disciples.

As I stepped into the house, I saw the ninth young lady of the courtyard sitting at the table, drinking tea calmly. There were two maids standing beside her, and their faces were calm, without a trace of fear, just vigilance at most.

"Miss Nine isn't afraid?"

Master Chen took a quick look at the situation in the room, but he was not in a hurry to look at the corpse. Instead, he looked at the curious Miss Nine in front of him.

After all, ordinary people would be frightened and panicked when encountering such a thing, not to mention that she didn't look very old and there was a dead body lying in the room, but she acted as if nothing had happened and her face was very calm.

Si He was also sizing up the mage. He looked to be around forty years old and possessed a profound level of skill. However, from the items he carried, one could also discern his general ability. She replied calmly, "I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of ghosts."

Master Chen said, "Ghosts and evil spirits do not distinguish between good and evil. Miss Nine is so reckless and will easily suffer."

Si He smiled faintly but did not refute him.

Master Chen glanced at her, then took out a few talismans from his sleeve pocket and placed them on the table. He said, "These talismans are given to Miss Nine. I wish you good health."

Si He glanced at the talisman paper on the table and reached out to take it. Although she didn't need it, she still said, "Thank you, Master."

Master Chen nodded and walked towards the corpse not far away.

There was nothing unusual about the body, and there was nothing unusual about the house. He knew it the moment he entered the house.

Because there was no evil energy here, the bronze talisman bell tied around his waist did not move at all. This was the main reason why he did not go to check the condition of the corpse immediately after entering.

He squatted down and carefully examined the condition of the body. It was indeed that he had been killed by himself. There was no trace of evil energy left on the body.

Before coming here, he listened to Madam Guo and the servants who accompanied her recount the situation at that time. It sounded like the man committed suicide after being possessed by an evil spirit. Now it seemed that the situation was more complicated, because there was no evil thing here at all, so how could he be possessed by an evil spirit?

He raised his head and looked around. There were still some of his talismans pasted on the doors and windows. There was nothing unusual about those talismans, which proved that there were no ghosts or evil spirits here. But how did this old lady die?

Master Chen frowned, thinking, and looked around again. Finally, he looked at Si He and asked, "Miss Jiu, could you tell us what happened at that time? Did you notice anything unusual?"

"I didn't notice anything unusual." Si He said, and then she recounted the situation at that time. She spoke simply and objectively, as if she was narrating from the perspective of an observer, and there was no panic or fear in her tone.

After hearing this, Master Chen looked at her meaningfully and said, "Miss Nine, aren't you afraid of ghosts and evil spirits?"

Si He said: "I was afraid before."

Master Chen raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Then why aren't you afraid?"

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, as if she recalled something. After a while, she said, "I've become braver."

She said it lightly, but it was obvious that she didn't want to elaborate.

Seeing this, Master Chen did not ask any more questions. He just felt that this Ninth Miss was a little unfathomable and not as simple as she seemed.

He said bluntly, "This nanny's death was strange, but it wasn't caused by a ghost, and there's nothing unusual about this room. But if Miss Nine minds, you can ask the old lady to move to another room."

“I don’t mind,” she said.

After hearing her words, Master Chen looked at her even more differently.

After all, ordinary people would mind a house where someone had died, not to mention the cause of death was unknown and strange, but she really didn't mind and was not afraid. This can't be said to be simply courage.

Only when you have confidence in your heart can you be fearless.

"Does Miss Nine know how to exorcise evil spirits?"

Master Chen couldn't help but ask another question, and the scrutiny in his eyes was deeper than before.
