C7 Some clues in the red lacquer wooden box

I asked again and again, but Wu Ji also did not explain his identity.

Doubtful, I called my aunt on the pretext of going to the bathroom and asked her about him.

However, Aunt was also not clear about it, she only knew that he was Master Zhi Yuan's home disciple, and that if she allowed me to learn from him, I would definitely be of use in the future.

Being a resident of a family, it was no wonder that he was not afraid of eating food.

Returning to the dining hall, Wu Ji was gulping down the meat, the way he ate looked as if he had been starved for days.

I sat across from him and laughed.

He waved his hand and swallowed the food in his mouth, saying that he hadn't eaten a proper meal in two days.

When he was asked why he hadn't eaten yet, he pretended not to hear.

Along the way, he acts like this. If he doesn't want to answer any questions, he would disregard them. After all, this is a personal question, so it isn't good for me to continue questioning him.

Actually, I don't have the habit of gossiping about other people's private affairs, it's just that the feeling Wu Ji gives me is extremely mysterious!

But apart from his personal problems, we were about the same age, and we could still talk.

I found out that his master, Master Zhi Yuan, and his aunt had known each other for many years, and that Wu Ji would occasionally meet with him as well.

It's just that it's late winter when he and his disciples go, and I usually stay home during the holidays.

Wu Ji said. Not long after I followed my aunt, he heard that I've been wanting to see him for a long time.

I smell the reason.

He said that he was just curious, curious about the appearance of this little girl who was born with an evil bone and was stepped on at the age of ten.

I was helpless against his attitude towards the rare species.

We had originally planned to rest for a while, and wait for Huang Wancai to contact us the next day to meet his wife, Lin Lili.

But before it was even bright in the later half of the night, Huang Wancai called.

On the phone, he cried for Wu Ji and I to hurry over and tell us that he saw a ghost!

I looked at the time and saw that it was once again 3 in the morning. I was worried that something really happened and I immediately woke Wu Ji up in the neighboring room.

The street was quiet in the middle of the night. After waiting for a while, he still couldn't find a taxi.

The night breeze was chilly, causing me to feel a chill all over my body. I couldn't help but shiver.

Wu Ji turned around and glanced at me, and then silently took out a small pouch from his pocket and hung it around my neck.

On the surface of the black satin pouch, there was a word 'Blessed' embroidered on it. It was unknown what was inside.

"What is this?" I wondered.

He put on that arrogant and pampered face of his, glanced at me, and coldly said: "The Yin Qi is heavy at night, so you don't have to trouble me."

My heart warmed.

He thought that this bag should be a protective talisman. Since he knew that I was always with his aunt, he should have also heard about my sensitive physique.

Usually at home, if there is nothing important, my aunt never allowed me to go out in the middle of the night because she was afraid that I would accidentally fall into a bad situation.

After a few minutes, the taxi still did not arrive, but Huang Wancai's car had stopped in front of the hotel.

"Aiyo!" My two little ancestors finally see you two again! " Huang Wancai got out of the carriage with his pajamas on, his face full of tears.

I asked him what had happened.

He said that he had suddenly woken up in the middle of the night and felt that someone was watching him in the dark. He shone his cell phone and saw a thin black shadow standing at the end of the bed, but when he turned on the light, it was gone.

He immediately called me, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing Wu Ji and I, he rushed out of his room and drove to the hotel.

Huang Wancai didn't even have time to put on his clothes, and his eyes were filled with unease and panic as he spoke.

I also looked at Xiang Wuji nervously, but he was very calm, and immediately called Huang Wancai to get on the car to take a look.

Upon hearing that he was going back, Huang Wancai was so scared that his face turned even paler, and he refused to say anything. He gave me the key and said he could take us there, but he wouldn't go upstairs.

Wu Ji coldly glanced at him, and then got on the carriage.

Standing in front of Huang Wancai's house, I hesitated for a moment before handing the key over to him.

Actually, I didn't want to come either, but it would be too disloyal and insecure for him to go upstairs alone. At this moment, he braced himself and followed. He felt scared in his heart …

The door opened and it was very quiet inside. Wu Ji stood at the door and looked before stepping inside.

It was still dark inside the house, and I couldn't see anything. I was about to follow him in, but then I stopped.

Because I smelled incense!

"Wu Ji, wait!" I called to him at once.

But when he looked closely, there was no sign of him.

"Wu Ji!" I panicked, and in the blink of an eye he was gone.

I fumbled for the switch and tried to turn it on, but there was no response.

Just as I was feeling anxious, Wu Ji turned on his mobile phone's flashlight and walked over from the hallway. "What's wrong?"

Seeing that he was fine, I calmed down a little and told him that I smelled incense.

Previously, when Huang Wancai went to look for his aunt, he also said that his house would often smell an indescribable burning incense at night. But his family did not worship him, nor did they have the habit of burning incense and candles.

Wu Ji frowned, he did not say anything, and only told me to follow him.

I pulled at the corner of Wu Ji's clothes, following closely behind. But we walked around the house and didn't find anything.

Wu Ji stopped and asked me if I could smell the source of the fragrance.

I suddenly thought of something and asked, "Can't you smell it?"

Wu Ji shook his head, confirming my guess.

Previously, the filth that came out of Wang Xiuzhi's mouth had a very strong stench, but Eldest Aunt said that ordinary people would not be able to smell it.

And the smell was probably the same, but why did Huang Wancai smell it?

The scent was faint and faint, and we followed it to the master bedroom.

The bedroom door was wide open, and the bed was a mess. Thick curtains covered all the light.

With such an atmosphere and what Huang Wancai had just said, I didn't want to step into the bedroom at all.

But Wu Ji said that the problem would most likely occur in the bedroom, and he told me to go in and try to find the source of the fragrance, maybe I could solve the underlying problem.

"Can't you come back during the day?" I held on to the door frame to consult with him.

Wu Ji swept a glance at me, and without saying a word, directly pulled me by the hand into the house, and even asked me how I felt after entering the bedroom.

I glared at him angrily. However, I knew that this wasn't the time to be angry, so I focused on finding the source of the fragrance.

The room felt cold, as though several air-conditioners had simultaneously cooled down. I subconsciously held the bag that Wu Ji had given me.

As the aroma grew stronger, I stopped in front of a cabinet. "Here."

Wu Ji extended his hand out to pull the cabinet door, but I stopped his arm and asked worriedly, what if there really was something inside.

"I'm here." Wu Ji said as he pulled me behind him and opened the cabinet.

I anxiously hid behind him, but to our surprise, there was a red lacquered wooden chest of fifty centimeters square in the cabinet!

The box was carved with exquisite cloud patterns and held a fish-shaped copper lock. It did not look like something ordinary people would use.

I sniffed at it and said it seemed to come from the box, but I didn't dare approach it.

Wu Ji used his phone to carefully look at the box. Although it was ancient, he did not see anything strange, so he made a call to call Huang Wancai to come up and open the lock.

But on the phone, Huang Wancai had no idea about the boxes in the cabinet that we talked about, let alone the key. He said that the box should have been left inside by his wife.

Wu Ji knocked on the box, which produced a very empty sound.

I wanted to advise him that now that he knew the crux of the problem, he would deal with it during the day.

However, before he could finish his sentence, the back of his head suddenly felt numb and goosebumps rose up all over his body. He felt that someone was looking at us from behind!

I remembered my aunt's words. There were three lamps on a person's body, one on each shoulder and one on top of their head. If one was aware of the presence of Evil Foulness, they would turn around and extinguish the lamp on their shoulders.

That's why I didn't dare to turn my head easily. I tugged at the corner of Wu Ji's clothes and whispered into his ear, saying that there seems to be something behind him.

He had one hand on my wrist, the other fumbling in his pocket.

Without waiting for me to say anything, he suddenly turned around and threw the thing in his hand out!

I was pulled by him and turned around. There was nothing behind me, but I could clearly feel something brush past us!

"Did you see anything?" I asked Wu Ji.

Under the cold light of his phone, his expression turned serious. He pursed his lips without saying anything, as if he couldn't detect anything.
