Chapter 2352 Am I a Demon?
Shi Li stood where he was, trying to stretch his roots out from under his feet and into the soil to see if he could find the right path.
But before she could act, she saw a red lantern not far ahead.
Yes, a simple red lantern.
There was no one holding it. It was just a lonely lantern, swaying in the air as it approached this side.
In the dark night, the horror of seeing such a red lantern is no less than opening the door of your own home and seeing an embroidered shoe placed at the door.
Shi Li felt cold sweat coming out of her back, and her throat was dry, "That lantern..."
As if it heard her words, the lantern suddenly stopped in mid-air and did not move closer.
The two people and the red lantern seemed to be confronting each other from a distance.
Suddenly... the red lantern fell to the ground with a bang, and the candle inside went out.
The sudden change frightened Shi Li so much that her body froze, but she immediately realized that—
The wall seemed to be broken.
I could faintly hear the chirping of insects in the corner and the sound of wind. Everything returned to normal and the abnormality just now seemed like an illusion.
Even the stone lions on the roadside had been left far behind at this time. Looking forward, the gate of the Lin Mansion was only dozens of meters away.
"I see the door of my house. We are on the right road!" Diwu Zhiyun's cheerful voice brought Shi Li back to his senses, and he subconsciously followed him towards the Lin Mansion.
Just passing by the red lanterns on the ground, Shi Li still stopped.
Everything that happened just now was not an illusion, they really encountered a strange wall just now. It's just that it happened suddenly and ended even more suddenly, leaving people confused.
Perhaps because the two had not returned for a long time, there were two servants holding lanterns waiting for them at the gate of the Lin Mansion.
When he saw the person, he immediately came forward eagerly.
"Master, Miss Shi, you are back."
The light from the lantern shone on the ground and on the two people.
Shi Li seemed to see a hint of yellow in Diwu Zhiyun's hand from the corner of her eye, but when she looked again, she saw nothing.
Could it be that I am dazzled?
Mr. and Mrs. Lin really loved their nephew Diwu Zhiyun, so they both walked out of the second door. They were relieved when they saw him coming back with Shi Li.
"Why are you back so late?" Mrs. Lin's eyes swept across Diwu Zhiyun and fell on Shi Li.
Without waiting for Shi Li to speak, Diwu Zhiyun answered in a very calm tone, "On the way back, I encountered a ghost wall, so I was delayed for some time. And the scholar I went to see today was almost bewitched by the Painted Skin Ghost."
Others present: …
Mrs. Lin's face paled noticeably. She immediately looked at Shi Li and explained awkwardly, "My nephew has always encountered some strange things since he was a child. Miss Shi, are you scared?"
Shi Li was of course frightened, but since Mrs. Lin had said so, she didn't know what to say. She just shook her head slightly and went to her room to rest.
After she left, the Lin couple and Diwu Zhiyun remained where they were.
Master Lin said in a deep voice: "Too many things have happened in the past three months. There haven't been so many things happening in Haiyang City in the past ten years."
Mrs. Lin also nodded, and both of them looked at Diwu Zhiyun.
"It's okay. Maybe the seal is about to expire, so it attracted nearby ghosts. I will reinforce the seal in ten days."
The person who spoke was actually Diwu Zhiyun.
He looked no different from before, except that the moonlight shining into his light-colored eyes could not bring out the slightest sparkle.
Mrs. Lin was somewhat curious about the relationship between him and Shi Li, but since he was not her real nephew, she did not dare to ask too much. She just thanked Diwu Zhiyun profusely.
Ten years ago, a tiger demon came from nowhere and wandered into Haiyang City, causing chaos in the city. Diwu Zhiyun's master came from a long distance, but his power was limited. After subduing the tiger demon, he could only seal it temporarily.
One layer of seal can last for ten years. Now that the time limit is almost up, the seal needs to be reinforced again.
Diwu Zhiyun's master had been in seclusion half a year ago, and was just thinking about this matter, so he left instructions early and asked them to let the most talented disciple of the younger generation of Sheshan, Diwu Zhiyun, solve this matter.
After Diwu Zhiyun came to Haiyang City, because he was not sure when the seal of the tiger demon would be broken and he did not want to cause panic among the people in the city, he pretended to be Mr. Lin's nephew and lived in the Lin Mansion, waiting for something to happen to the seal.
However, a few days ago, Diwu Zhiyun sensed an evil spirit and when he was out he happened to meet Hu Xiaoli on the street. She was recognized by a Taoist priest who was traveling there and was rescued by a fox couple.
Diwu Zhiyun was curious and followed quietly into the mountains, where he happened to meet Shi Li who had just transformed.
He was not sure whether the fox and Shi Li were related to the tiger demon about to break the seal, so he concealed his identity and wanted to find out the truth, and thus the story between him and Shi Li began.
The Gui who had just hit the wall did not want to leave on his own, but was quietly driven away by him.
He didn't expect Shi Li to be so scared.
The way he trembled but pretended to be calm just now was quite interesting.
I just don’t know if he is pretending or is really scared.
