Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's eyebrows furrowed tightly, what does it mean? Relying on a little ghost to get rich?

  At this moment, he had an impulse to rush out, beat these two people, and then ask everything clearly.

  Lin Xiaofeng took a deep breath and restrained this impulse.

  He clenched his fists and waited until the two people walked away slowly before he came to the door of the thatched hut.

  "This is just a thatched cottage, yet it's using such a big lock." Lin Xiaofeng looked at the lock on the door, which was almost as good as those used on bank vaults.

  He bit his own finger and drew an unlocking symbol on his palm.

  "Hurry up like an imperial decree!" Afterwards, he gently placed his hand on the lock, and with a click, it opened.

  Pushing open the door and walking in, everywhere inside was piled up with firewood. On the surface, it really was just an ordinary woodshed.

  Ke Lin Xiaofeng felt a surge of yin energy spreading from under his feet.

  There should be a basement.

  Lin Xiaofeng searched around on the ground for a while before finally finding a wooden board with a lock on it.

  Lin Xiaofeng opened the lock with a skeleton key just like he had done before entering the house.

  As soon as the wooden board was opened, a very long dark passage appeared under the board.

  The dark corridor is abnormally humid, and the stone stairs are covered with moss.

  Lin Xiaofeng carefully walked down.

  The passageway wasn't long, and after walking for less than half a minute, I arrived at the end of the passageway.

  The end of this dark passage is a wooden door.

  But it didn't lock again.

  Lin Xiaofeng pushed gently, and a creaking sound came from the wooden door.

  Lin Xiaofeng walked in and took a look, and found that this basement had been set up as a seal.

  In the middle of the basement, there was a big red bed. On this big bed sat a little girl wearing a red cheongsam.

  This little girl looked about six years old, with a lovely appearance. When she saw Lin Xiaofeng come in, she immediately shrank to the edge of the bed, looking at him with a frightened face.

  "What is this?" Lin Xiao Feng took a look at the seal that sealed away the little girl.

  His knowledge is vast, but he has never seen a seal formation like this either.

  "This doesn't seem like Chinese Taoist magic, but rather more like Japan's Yin-Yang magic."

  Thinking of this, Lin Xiaofeng asked: "Little sister, what's your name?"

  The little girl didn't dare look at Lin Xiaofeng at all, appearing very fearful.

  "Zashiki-warashi?" Lin Xiaofeng seemed to understand a bit.

  Zashiki-warashi is a type of yōkai from Japanese folklore, said to bring prosperity to the family it inhabits. Due to this, some selfish families would invite powerful onmyodo practitioners to seal them in with magical barriers, controlling their freedom.

  I didn't expect China also had people who trained innocent children into Zashiki-warashi.

  "Little girl, I was called by Sister Alan to save you. I can take you to see your mother."

  The little girl's eyes lit up as she stared at Lin Xiaofeng: "Brother, did Mother really call you?"

  "Hmm." Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly.

  "You retreat first, I'll break this seal and then we can talk." Lin Xiao Feng said.

  The little girl was very obedient and hid under the bed.

  This seal is four Zen sticks standing upright at the four corners of the bed. It's not difficult to break this seal, but it's hard to do so without being discovered.

  If it's discovered by others, there might be some trouble.

  After all, those who can directly refine Zashiki-warashi are not weak in their skills.

  "All living beings have many accumulated grievances, deep grievances are difficult to resolve, and one life's grievances can be formed. Three generations of retribution will not stop, I now transmit the wonderful Dharma, eliminating all kinds of grievances." Lin Xiaofeng recited.

  This is a seal-breaking spell, ordinary spells can break it, but I don't know if it will work on the Japanese oni's seal.

  Lin Xiaofeng had just finished speaking when the four Zen sticks above began to ring loudly.

  Lin Xiaofeng thought to himself that things were not going well, it seemed he had failed and was discovered instead.

  Thinking of this, he didn't bother to continue rubbing and instead kicked over a Zen stick.

  At this time, there were also rapid footsteps coming from the dark passage.

  "Little girl, you go back and find your mother first." Lin Xiaofeng said to her.

  "That little girl hastily pointed under the bed: 'My ashes are placed underneath, if you don't take my ashes away, no matter how far I escape, they will catch me again.'"

  "I understand." Lin Xiao Feng nodded.

  The little girl hastily drilled into the wall and disappeared.

  Lin Xiaofeng also ran to the bedside, rummaged for a while, and soon found a palm-sized wine jar.

  Lin Xiaofeng opened it and found that there was indeed ashes inside.

  At this moment, a man walked in from the dark corridor.

  This man looks over sixty years old, wearing a blue Taoist robe and a Taoist crown.

  He smiled and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, cupped his hands and said: "Fellow Taoist came to visit, why come secretly? Wanting to come here, inform me, I'll take you in, isn't it better?"

  Lin Xiaofeng looked at him and smiled: "Don't call me 'fellow Taoist' casually, people with different ways don't work together."

  "What's the difference between the two paths?" The old Taoist asked with a smile.

  Lin Xiaofeng's face turned stern and he rebuked in a severe tone, "You've trained that little girl to become a Zashiki-warashi for your own gain, is this how you learn the Tao?"

  "That little girl's family was impoverished, I didn't kill her, she would have died in the mountains anyway, or fallen off a cliff to death. By training her as a Zashiki-warashi, she can deliver herbs to her mother every day and let her mother live until now. I'm actually helping them."

  "He's talking nonsense." Lin Xiaofeng walked over and thought of avoiding him and leaving.

  Lao Dao heard this, stretched out his hand and stopped Lin Xiaofeng. His eyes turned cold: "Leave the ashes behind, I'll let you leave. We're fellow Taoists, what you've done today, I can forgive and forget!"

  Lin Xiao Feng didn't want to bother with him either and punched the old Taoist's face.

  Lao Dao didn't expect Lin Xiao Feng to suddenly strike out and was punched to the ground, covering his own face.

  He spat out a mouthful of blood: "What great strength, young people are still too impulsive when doing things, and they don't fear bringing disaster upon themselves."

  "Aren't you afraid of heavenly retribution for doing such an unscrupulous thing?" Lin Xiao Feng didn't care about the guy's threat at all, and instead said: "Be careful to fall into the 18th layer of hell after death!"

  After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaofeng walked out.

  Looking at Lin Xiaofeng's back, the old man slowly opened his mouth: "Let's go, if you leave, that little policeman who came with you will probably lose his life."

  Lin Xiaofeng stopped in his tracks: "Are you threatening me?"

  "It's not a threat to you, just a young girl who has nothing much to do with you, and that Alan is even poorer. What benefit would you get from helping them?" The old man chuckled and advised: "Young man, everything depends on money."

  "It's strange, my master taught me that no matter what, one must keep their original heart. Making money is not wrong, but a gentleman makes his fortune in a righteous way. No matter what, the money I earn can't be stained with blood, right?" Lin Xiaofeng said.

  The old man sneered and said, "So to speak, you don't care about the life of that female police officer?"!!
