C155 (1/2)

I looked at the sheet of paper and smiled wryly. I glanced at the doors and windows that led to the balcony in front of me and saw that they were locked from the inside.

I also scanned the entire dorm room, and found that there weren't any traces of having been in a passive state at all. There was only a piece of paper.

This isn't logical. The old Taoist had cast a Evil Repelling Spell on my dorm. Wu Xiaoli shouldn't be able to come in.

Could it be that the Evil Repelling Spell had already been broken?

I still remember that the blood demon came to my dorm before, but he just couldn't come in, he just left a pile of trash outside my balcony.

But now, Wu Xiaoli had come in.

No, that's not right. When she gave me the information about Zhao Jie and the black cat, she was already able to enter! I was so preoccupied with avenging Li Youlan that I missed it. Moreover, the old Daoist came to my dorm and saw what Wu Xiaoli gave me, but he didn't have much of a reaction. He didn't even tell me that the Evil Repelling Spell had been broken.

When I thought of this, I was filled with doubts and uneasiness. It's not because I'm afraid of Wu Xiaoli. Wu Xiaoli is a friend, so she won't hurt me. However, if the Evil Warding Spell is broken, then I won't be able to sleep well every night.

He might as well ask the old Daoist!

I made up my mind. Since I couldn't figure this out and couldn't solve it myself, I could only look for the old Taoist.

But this, when I turned the white paper over, there were several big words written on it: Don't let that dead Taoist know!

Looking at this line of words, I couldn't help but bitterly smile a few times. I felt that the two exclamation marks behind me were like two needles, and almost pierced my eyes.

If I were to ask the old Daoist about the Evil Warding Spell in my dorm now, he would definitely get to the bottom of it. At that time, I might not be able to hide the fact that I'm going to see Wu Xiaoli tonight.

Thinking this way, he could only wait until tomorrow to ask him.

The question was, why did Wu Xiaoli ask me not to tell the old Taoist about it?

She seemed to understand me well enough to know that after I read this piece of paper, she would look for the old Taoist.

Then I thought, She won't do anything against me, will she? It's not impossible to think of her as a ghost, and also think of the hate and adoration in her eyes when she took Li Youlan away from Zhao Jie's villa. It's not impossible for her to do something bad to me, after all, she already used me to revive Li Youlan.

But then it occurred to me that if Wu Xiaoli really wanted to harm me, then she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to save me in the big cave. Besides, she had helped me and the old Daoist break through Lin Ming's black prison, and then she had reminded me not to go to Lake of Pure Heart. She has helped me so many times. This time, she shouldn't harm me, right?

So, are we going to keep our appointment or not?

I hesitated. After all, it was the first time I'd seen a ghost on my own.

However, in my heart, I still preferred to trust Wu Xiaoli. In the end, I gritted my teeth and decided to go on ahead by myself. After all, the current me not only has the ability to ward off evil spirits, but I have also learned how to control my Spiritual Qi. Furthermore, I have a Yin Yang Soul in my body.

I checked the time. It was 7: 04 P.M., one hour before the appointed time.

Just in case, I drew ten sheets of talisman paper to ward off evil spells and five more of the complex talismans that the old Taoist had told me to practice.

The old Daoist originally gave me two complicated runes to practice with, but now I only learned to draw one, so all five of them were drawn from the same rune.

Although I don't know how to use this complicated rune that makes one's head hurt from just looking at it, I have a feeling that it will be helpful to me.

After preparing the rune, I looked at the time and found that twenty minutes had passed. It would take about twenty minutes to reach the outer ring of the South Pavilion Ferry. It was about time to set off.

However, I still wasn't sure about my spiritual power, so I practiced in the dorm. I found out that I could still use my spiritual power to control the objects, so I was relieved.

Thus, I rushed to Nanting Ferry by myself.

Soon, I arrived at the South Pavilion Ferry.

At this moment, the cold moon was hanging in the sky. The bright moonlight mixed with the darkness of the night made the entire night sky seem dusky. It was like a grey veil that was hung on the face of a mysterious woman.

The cold winter wind was just like Genghis Khan's cavalry, bringing with it an invincible brutality, causing all living and dead objects to lower their heads.

I was cold enough to pull my neck under my collar.

At the South Pavilion Ferry, there was a dilapidated house on the shore. Due to the years of disrepair, the roof of the house was covered with wild grass that reached the height of one's knees. The cold wind made the weeds on the broken roof rise and fall like a boat swaying in the waves not far ahead.

On the riverbank, a person was facing the river in front of them, her back to me. Her body was thin, as if she would be blown up like a piece of paper by the wind, but her long hair was a mess, and she was still standing there, as still as a statue, looking at the river in front of her.

She should be Wu Xiaoli. Her figure, her hair, they all matched well with Wu Xiaoli's.
