The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1071 So you just use it and then throw it away?!

Yunran didn't care what the bronze mirror thought; as long as she achieved the result she wanted, that was enough.

"Take a closer look and see if there's anything hidden in this yard!"

Bronze Mirror, under the influence of Yun Ran's tyranny, finally yielded.

After the mirror lit up with a light, everything in the small courtyard revealed its true form.

Yunran was also eager to know what it was that could not only protect the Zhou family's residence but also evade her Heavenly Eye's detection.

Soon, Yunran saw in the mirror a bowl in the corner of the courtyard that was slightly different.

The little paper figure returned quickly, carrying a basket many times its own size, filled with soil.

“Master, this is soil that I collected from the beginning and end of the alley, as well as from the yards of other people’s houses in the alley.”

"Put it down for now."

Yunran walked to the corner of the courtyard and dug out the bowl that was half embedded in the ground.

As the alms bowl fell into Yunran's hands, the courtyard, which had previously been impenetrable to any light source, began to glow.

But at the same time, the howling and wailing sounds, having lost all restraint, began to frantically erode the Zhou family's residence.

The little paper figure listened carefully for a moment before saying, "Master, the decibel level of this sound is about the same as the sound level heard elsewhere."

Yunran curiously examined the alms bowl in her hand. Although it was a bit dirty, at least she could still see its entirety.

Once Yunran saw the patterns carved on the outside of the alms bowl, she suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder she hadn't noticed anything unusual even with her third eye.

This alms bowl is not a remarkable ritual implement; it doesn't even have much of a ritual implement attached to it.

The only special thing about it is the pattern carved on the outside of the bowl.

"Master, the pattern on this looks kind of familiar..."

To get a better look, the little paper figure moved closer, trying to see the patterns on the outside of the alms bowl.

He even brushed away some of the mud on the outside of the bowl, revealing the original pattern.

The little paper figure's eyes widened instantly, and its tiny mouth turned into an "O" shape.

"Master, this...this pattern looks so much like the pattern on the jar that Erdan smashed before!"

Its companions even picked up some fragments to take back with them...

So, is there any special significance to this pattern?
The little paper doll stared longingly at Yunran, feeling as if its tiny brain wasn't big enough to handle everything.

The wailing and howling of ghosts still lingered in her ears, but Yunran calmly cleaned the dirt off the alms bowl.

Then, several talisman papers were quickly pasted onto the bowl, and almost instantly, the pattern on the bowl was completely imprinted.

Yun Ran tore off one of the talismans and threw it into the air. The talisman flew up and, while hovering, burst into flames.

At the same moment, the wailing and howling sounds, along with the surround sound, abruptly stopped.

The surroundings quieted down. Yun Ran raised her hand and took another talisman, sticking it to the used bronze mirror before roughly stuffing it into her bag.

Bronze mirror: ...

Damn humans, they just use it and then throw it away, huh?!

The little paper figure looked at the burning talisman, then at the alms bowl.

Finally, he spoke with some uncertainty: "Master, is this why the Zhou family mansion was so quiet before?"

Yun Ran squatted down and continued to examine the soil that the little paper figure had brought back. Indeed, she found traces of sealing energy on it. After brushing the soil off her clothes, she said, "I guess so."

Having figured out the situation, and seeing that dawn was approaching, Yunran decided not to stay there any longer.

He casually put the bowl back in its original place.

As for the patterns on it, Yunran had already memorized them when she made the rubbings.

"Go turn off the lights inside, let's go back."

The little paper figure readily agreed and happily went to turn off the lights.

Before leaving, Yunran glanced at the Zhou family's house, thinking that those greenhorn recruits would come back again.

She was also worried that they might not know their own strength and would anger the monster whose seal had been loosened, so she left one of the talismans behind.

The little paper doll thought of its master's blatant disdain for those people before, and his current soft heart.

Once again, I couldn't help but think, "Its owner is truly the best person!"
Yunran returned to the hotel quietly, washed up briefly, and lay back down on the bed.

After washing off the mud, the little paper figure obediently stuck to the windowsill, watching over everything around it.

Yunran didn't open her eyes until the sun was high in the sky.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, and Yunran was truly getting her bottoms baked by the sun.

"Master, the talisman you left at the Zhou family residence has been discovered by those young men, and they've already called for reinforcements!"

This result was within Yunran's expectations.

Yunran doesn't plan to deal with things there for the time being.

He then asked about other things: "The people at the inn didn't come up to ask anything, did they?"

The little paper figure quickly shook its head: "No, it's probably because you gave them a lot of money and asked for quiet, which saved them a lot of trouble."

Indeed, as long as you have enough money, you can live a good life anywhere and be extremely comfortable.

After Yunran changed her clothes, the little paper doll quickly washed the dirty clothes that Yunran had taken off earlier.

The little paper figures are now very skilled at handling these chores.

“It’s daytime now, and it’s still quite lively outside. Let’s take a walk around and find out what the Zhou family’s alley was like before.”

Although she didn't get many clues last night, Yunran still managed to guess the answer.

Perhaps something significant happened there many years ago.

As soon as Yunran reached the bottom of the stairs, the woman at the front desk immediately stood up, her face beaming with joy.

Seeing the receptionist trying to take her hand again, Yunran felt goosebumps rising on her skin.

"I'm staying here for a few more days. Also, no one is allowed to enter my room during these few days."

As she spoke, Yunran took out another stack of money and pushed it in front of the woman at the front desk.

"If you don't have enough money, I'll add more."

The woman at the front desk immediately stopped walking towards Yunran.

She carefully put away the money Yunran gave her, and her smile became even brighter.

"Okay, feel free to stay here. Our rooms are great value for money."

Yun Ran nodded, turned around and left the inn.

When passing by the alleyway where the Zhou family lived, Yun Ran didn't even give it a second glance.
