Gu Wenyue was already weak. She was even more out of breath when she cried and kept coughing.
Gu Wenyu looked at the time. It was only around ten in the morning. Counting the time, He Xi should still be on the plane. It would still be at least four hours' drive from Liang'an City to Guyin Village. No matter how he calculated, it was too late.
Although he thought so, Gu Wenyu still called He Xi, and as expected, a cold female voice came from the other end of the phone: The number you dialed has been turned off or is not in the service area...
"Your friend hasn't come yet?" Yang Li already guessed the result when she saw Gu Wenyu's disappointed expression when he put down the phone.
"It's okay, this study has a formation barrier set up by my grandfather, and the old Taoist priest can't get in." Gu Wenyu said calmly.
"Then..." Yang Li wanted to say something else.
Gu Wenyu quickly winked and signaled Yang Li to stop talking.
Yang Li didn't say anything anymore, and she started looking for Grandpa Gu Wenyu's notebooks on the rows of bookshelves again.
"Well..." Gu Wenyue suddenly stopped crying and only made a low breath.
"Here we come." The white-faced fox warned.
"Is it very strong?" Gu Wenyu asked, this was her biggest concern.
"Fourth grade...well, no, it should be fifth grade." The white-faced fox replied. This was the first time she was so hesitant.
"...Then how can we fight? I don't know if it's okay to surrender and lose half of it." Gu Wenyu was speechless. This was one level higher than He Xi. What was she going to do with a second-level junior?
"What are you afraid of? Doesn't your little master still have a map of mountains and rivers?" The white-faced fox looked like he had nothing to do. "Don't underestimate the formation your old man has set up. You may be able to hold on even if it's not good."
"When did you become so optimistic..." As Gu Wenyu said this, she suddenly noticed something seemed to be under the foot of the desk. She wanted to lift the desk to take a look in confusion.
But this was not the inferior desk in Gu Wentian's room. Grandpa Gu Wenyu's desk was too heavy to lift. Gu Wenyu strengthened his hand strength before he could barely lift the corner of the desk a little.
"Huh?" A yellowed book corner was exposed at the foot of the table. Gu Wenyu quickly shouted to Yang Li who was not far away: "Yang Li, help me take a look, what is that under the table?"
When Yang Li heard the words, she ran over. She squatted down and pulled out the things pressed under the desk.
At this time, Gu Wenyu let go again, and the desk immediately tilted to one side, becoming higher on one side and lower on the other.
Looking at what Yang Li was holding in her hand, it was a thick notebook. However, it had been damaged due to being pressed under the desk for a long time, and the inner pages had already turned yellow.
Gu Wenyu didn't expect that his grandfather would be such a casual person. He could just take such an important notebook and place it on the corner of the table. This pad lasted for twenty years.
Even Gu Wentian had never seen this notebook. If the young grandfather hadn't told Gu Wenyu that there was such a thing, Gu Wenyu would never have known about it in his life. There was also a yellowed notebook under the table.
Yang Li carefully patted the dust on the notebook before handing it to Gu Wenyu, "Can you see if it's this one?"
Although the notebook was handed to Gu Wenyu, Yang Li couldn't help but move closer to get a closer look.
Gu Wenyu flipped through a few pages and found various spells and formation diagrams recorded inside. In addition, Gu Wenyu also found a kraft paper envelope inside the book.
In contrast, the envelope was not damaged at all, except for a little dust, and overall it was still very new.
Gu Wenyu took out the envelope. Apart from the spells and array diagrams, there was no other content in the notebook. Yang Li's eyes were wide open. She loved studying spells the most, and this notebook was very useful to her.
That is, treasures generally exist.
Gu Wenyu felt that her learning speed in this area was not as fast as Yang Li's, so she simply gave her notebook to Yang Li, "Why don't you help me take a look at it and see if there is anything that can be used immediately."
"Okay, let me do some research." Yang Li took the notebook excitedly, as if she had completely forgotten about the upcoming danger.
"Girl, it's too late, the old Taoist priest is here." The white-faced fox reminded again.
As the white-faced fox finished speaking, a black SUV stopped steadily at the door of the old house.
The car door opened, and an old Taoist with white hair and a boyish face, wearing a black monk's robe, stepped out of the car.
This strange painting style successfully attracted the attention of the villagers, and the old Taoist priest walked into the Gu family mansion as if there was no one else around.
Gu Wenyu felt like she was facing a formidable enemy. She and Yang Li blocked the study door together.
"Arrogant junior! A mere second-grade demon exterminator dares to rob someone from an old Taoist? Do you think you have a long life?" the old Taoist shouted angrily, then stretched out his hand to push the door, but was bounced back by an unknown force.
He took a few steps back in embarrassment before regaining his balance.
The old Taoist priest traced the mark all the way to Guyin Village, and after several battles, the old Taoist priest also knew that Gu Wenyu's cultivation level was not high, so he was not too vigilant, and suffered a hidden loss.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest finally observed the surrounding environment. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Huh?"
But then he laughed again, "Junior, do you think that by hiding here, the old master can't do anything to you?"
Gu Wenyu didn't speak. Gu Wenyue was shaking like chaff and her lips turned pale.
"This formation is a bit interesting, but it still can't stop the old Taoist." As the old Taoist priest spoke, he pinched the magic formula with his hands and muttered something in his mouth.
Gu Wenyue immediately covered her head in pain. At such a close distance, the old Taoist priest could already extract Gu Wenyue's soul through the formation.
The formation could prevent the old Taoist priest from entering the house, but it could not prevent him from casting a spell to extract Gu Wenyue's soul.
Gu Wenyu was shocked. She followed the same method and used the Xuanyuan Qi Training Method again, but her little mental power had no effect at all.
"Xiaobai!" Gu Wenyu shouted in his heart.
"Your shabby notebook is interesting, why don't you lend it to me to read." The white-faced fox took the opportunity to make a condition. She just took a few glances, and then she also became interested in Grandpa Gu Wenyu's notebook.
"Okay!" Gu Wenyu agreed. In fact, as long as she looked through it herself, the white-faced fox could also be seen. This was not a condition at all.
"It's a deal." The white-faced fox said and wrapped his mental power around Gu Wenyue. However, this time, the mark on Gu Wenyue's soul suddenly lit up and emitted a scorching temperature. Gu Wenyue howled miserably.
Even the white-faced fox couldn't completely block the old Taoist priest's spell.
The old Taoist priest was also a little unsure. He was obviously only a second-grade demon exterminator, how could he have such surging mental power?
Gu Wenyue's hoarse screams attracted many villagers to watch. Gu Wenyue's mother ran into the yard crying, "Yueyue, Yueyue! Mom is here!"
As a result, as soon as the woman entered the courtyard, she bumped into the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest turned to look at the woman with a cruel smile on his face, "Is that your daughter inside?"
As the old Taoist stopped casting spells, Gu Wenyue collapsed on the ground, motionless.
The woman didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't help but feel fear when facing the old man, and she didn't dare to go forward.
"You, who are you? Why are you in our Gu family's house?" the woman asked boldly.
