Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 540 Taoists and officials jointly search

After leaving the house, Si He collected several treasures at the door, and then walked towards the backyard with them.

There is a secluded corner in the rockery in the backyard where it can hide. In its current condition, it still needs to be nurtured. The environment of the Guo family is indeed quite suitable for it, so it might be better to let it stay for a while.

Moreover, even if those Taoists discovered something unusual in Fuhetang, they would only suspect that the body had been taken away as well, and would not search that remote corner.

Of course, if you are really found, it will only be bad luck.

After hiding it, Si He pasted a few pieces of talisman paper in the rockery to conceal evil spirits, and then gave it a condensed spirit bead.

The green beads are as big as soybeans. Although the evil spirits inside have been cleared, this thing is still very pure and is of great benefit to it.

When it got this tiny spiritual bead, its eyes seemed to emit a strange light, and then it swallowed it in one gulp.

After a while, it was like an old man who had taken a tonic pill. Its whole body trembled slightly and its breath changed.

However, it seemed that it had overdosed itself and it couldn't bear it any longer and fell to the ground, leaning its body against the rockery. After a while, it closed its eyes and calmed down, as if it had fallen asleep.

Si He watched quietly for a while, and when she saw that it was fine, she turned and left.

After leaving the Guo family, she went to a private residence in the city.

That was Wei Xiaohu's private residence. There was a sum of money stored in the secret room in the house. She wanted to take all the things away when she went to the city this time.

There were five large boxes of gold and silver, and two large bundles. The things in the bundles were also taken from Wei Xiaohu and the Guo family before. Although compared with the property in the Guo family villa, this was nothing, it was still a huge sum of money.

Si He put all the things into the ring, then put down the big bag she was carrying, planning to leave these small coffins here temporarily. After all, they were going into Tianshan, and these things could not be put into the ring, as they would be too cumbersome to carry. She would take them away when she came back.

After putting the things away, Si He went to several other private houses in the city. These were the places Zhilian had instructed her to go to before. They were the small private vaults of several branches of the Guo family. This was where Zhilian had found ways to transfer money out before the Guo family got into trouble.

While there was still some time, Si He collected them all.

She was very busy running around that night and only left the city at dawn.

The guards guarding the inn were relieved to see her return safely.

The appearance of Si He attracted the attention of the waiter in the inn. However, he was just curious and did not have any other thoughts, because it was easy to tell that she was disguised as a man, and she came back alone from outside late at night, which was quite courageous for a woman.

Especially during this period, Zhongzhou was not peaceful at all, and women often went missing.

Si He returned to the inn and took a shower, and then the sky began to brighten.

They now rest during the day and travel at night.

Everything was calm at the inn, but in the city there seemed to be a huge storm.

Early in the morning, before the city gates were opened, the officials guarding the city received an urgent order to strictly investigate every person entering the city, especially the things they carried. If anything unusual was found, it had to be seized and reported immediately, especially precious objects such as coffins.

It turned out that a Taoist who went to the Guo family to check on the situation as a routine discovered that something had been stolen, so he immediately notified others and acted first and reported the matter later. They first issued an emergency order to the officials guarding the city, strictly checking everyone who left the city, and then reported the situation to the city lord.

The Taoists have a beneficial cooperation with the city lord. This time they are cultivating ghost babies in the Guo family with the city lord's instruction. That's why they can act so smoothly and without any scruples. Moreover, with the protection of the officials, ordinary people dare not say anything more about the Guo family's affairs.

After all, they claim to be eliminating evil spirits, but the process will be somewhat cumbersome and take a long time, but this will prevent it from affecting the surrounding people.

With official protection and the reputation of this group of Taoists, few people suspected them and things went smoothly.

Who would have thought that when they were about to succeed, their nest was stolen!

There are thirteen ghost babies in total, not one left!

Even the murderous corpse trapped in the house disappeared!

A group of Taoists were furious. They had spent a lot of money to refine the ghost baby!

They collected a lot of rare materials and took great pains to cultivate a powerful ghost baby for themselves.

Among them, the one who suffered the greatest loss was Taoist Tianyuan. Not only did he lose a ghost baby that he had painstakingly raised, he also lost the Yin-gathering stone coffin passed down from his master!

That Yin-Gathering Stone Coffin was extremely precious and rare, a rare treasure. It had been passed down through the master's hands for over ten generations and had never been lost. And now, it was lost in his hands. How could he not be furious? His heart was bleeding!

When they learned about this, they had a brief and anxious discussion and then took a series of actions. In addition to strictly investigating people who left the city, they also asked officials to assist in a large-scale search in the city, asking every household whether they had found anyone suspicious in recent days.

In addition, they also carefully checked the Guo family's house, trying to find any clues of thieves, but there were no traces in the house, not even signs of a fight!

At most, there were a few blurry footprints left on the ground, and the traces could not be seen clearly because it was obvious that the footprints of the murderer were covered on top, making the footprints blurry.

It was obvious that the murderous corpse had followed them. This discovery made them feel much more solemn. For a moment, they even suspected that there was a traitor, secretly attacking them?!

After all, the yin energy here is extremely heavy. If you don’t know this place very well, who can come and leave quietly?

He never fought with the evil spirits here from the beginning to the end, and easily "kidnapped" the corpse. Even the terrifying evil aura of the Yin-gathering sarcophagus could not hurt anyone?

Unfortunately, the footprints on the ground left no trace after leaving the house, and it was unknown which direction they escaped.

They searched the Guo residence, but they were searching only with their treasures in the areas with the strongest Yin energy, and thus missed the rockery in the backyard. Firstly, there were talismans there to mask the Yin energy, and secondly, the Guo residence was too large, and they didn't think there would be anything left behind.

In Guang'an City, there was an uproar because of a large-scale search by officials. The officials claimed that a treasure that could suppress evil was lost and they were searching for thieves.

As to what kind of treasure it was, the officials kept their mouth shut.

The Taoists also sent out a group of disciples, asking them to carry their treasures and follow the officials around the city to see where the yin energy was strong.
