Chapter 431: Ghost Killing
Chapter 431: Ghost Killing
She took out the brocade bag and took out the bone beads. When she touched the beads, the magical and special sensation became clearer. She held the beads, followed the sensation, and looked in a certain direction in the distance. It seemed to be some distance away because the sensation was relatively weak.
She thought about it for a while, and finally put the bone beads away silently. After a while, she turned around and walked towards the mountain.
A high wall was built around the mountain. Just as she reached the wall, she heard fierce dog barking coming from inside. The barking immediately alarmed the nearby guard dogs, and they all started barking together.
The noise immediately attracted all the guards in the mountains, and they came over with hurried footsteps.
Si He frowned and had no choice but to retreat.
She went around to the other side of the mountain, took out the talisman bag, and released a ghost from the soul stone.
In an instant, a cold wind blew up, and the surrounding branches swayed slightly, making a rustling sound.
In the blink of an eye, a hideous and pale ghost appeared in the void in front of Si He. It was bleeding from all seven orifices, its long hair was disheveled, and its body was a ball of black air.
This evil ghost was the one that was captured in the post station before. It was the ghost raised by the little monk. Now it has been refined by the Soul Stone and is under her control. However, due to the re-refining and the long time it stayed in the Soul Stone, its ghost power has been greatly reduced and it is only half of its original strength. But it is enough for current needs.
Si He told it a few names and explained what it was going to do. Then it disappeared into the darkness and turned into a gust of cold wind, blowing towards the mountains inside the high walls.
At this time, the barking of a group of ferocious dogs in the mountains woke up everyone in the villa. Lights were turned on, and the originally dark night suddenly became much brighter and noisy.
However, as a chilling wind blew, the ferocious dogs soon stopped roaring and began to shiver.
Si He stood on a tall tree and looked at the situation in the mountains from afar.
The mountains at this moment seemed to have turned into a haunted place, with cold winds blowing, lights out, and the place plunged into darkness. An inexplicable aura of terror spread silently.
There were screams of terror everywhere, and the crowd was fleeing in panic, but there seemed to be a ghost wall around them, and they could not escape from this place.
"It's haunted!! It's haunted!"
"Ah—don't catch me—ah—help!!!"
"Run!"
"Damn it! Where are you going—"
"Help me...I don't want to die..."
……
Panicked voices rang out in the darkness, but what responded to them was a terrifying ghostly scream.
"Uuuuuu——"
The ghost's cry, like crying and laughing, was a strange and shrill sound that resounded throughout the entire mountain, carrying with it an indescribable horror and chill. It seemed that even the surrounding air was permeated with this breath, making people so terrified that they dared not breathe. Everyone shut their mouths and fell into complete silence.
Now, no one dared to run around anymore. Many people even huddled together, shivering and not daring to move.
Only those who had talismans on them felt a little relieved, but they also huddled together with everyone else, not daring to show their heads, for fear of being targeted by the ghost or even by others. After all, in the current situation, talismans are really life-saving things, and if others knew about it, they might really be robbed!
At this moment, the invisible ghost suddenly called out a name, "He... San... come out!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up in horror and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a terrifying ghost figure suddenly floating in the air.
Especially that pale ghost face, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. The ferocious expression and blood flowing from all seven orifices made many people gasp when they saw it and almost fainted!
But, who is it called? He San?
At this time, many people realized that this ghost came specifically to seek revenge, and it did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Otherwise, it would just kill people directly. Why would it call for help?
Just after the ghost's voice fell, a ball of ghost fire suddenly emerged from the air, then scattered all over the mountain, burning faintly on the ground. The bluish-purple flame was very strange, but it also added a lot of light, allowing them to see clearly.
Perhaps many people were frightened and did not react, so no one answered it.
The ghost roared angrily, "He San! Guo Liuqiang! If you don't come out, I will kill you all! Kill them all!"
Its voice was sharp and angry, full of threat, and a cold wind blew around it, as if it was going to start a killing spree in the next moment, which scared some people.
"He San, Manager Guo, both of you come out quickly!"
"That's right! This person...is here to find you. Don't get anyone else in trouble!"
"It's these two, He San and Guo Liuqiang. Sir, if you're looking for them, go find them. We haven't offended you in any way. Please forgive us."
"Yes, yes, spare us..."
For a moment, the people in the mountains begged for mercy and called it "Sir" to show their respect, while also pointing to the two people it was looking for.
He San and Guo Liuqiang were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, "Sir, please spare my life. I don't know how I have offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive me."
"Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life..."
The two men kowtowed and begged for mercy. The people around them said nothing and did not dare to help. They just prayed in their hearts not to implicate themselves.
The next moment, two streams of black air quickly attacked the two men. They were terrified and could not even speak after being entangled by the black air. In the blink of an eye, they fell to the ground, without any breath, and died.
When others saw this, they were so frightened that they were stunned and dared not speak.
Suddenly, the surrounding ghost fires were blown out by the cold wind, and the ghost shadows in the air also disappeared, and the mountains fell into darkness again.
Fortunately, the terrifying aura was slowly dissipating.
It seems that the ghost has left.
The group of people breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't dare to move and stayed still. Even the group of ferocious dogs they raised did the same, lying on the ground trembling in fear.
Outside the high wall, Si He looked at the returning ghost, said nothing, waved his hand, put it back into the talisman bag, and then left the forest.
The people who knew about the treasury matter have been dealt with, so she doesn't need to check it again. It's fine to keep the gold and silver here for the time being. After all, there are too many of them, and it's difficult to move them, and there's no better place to hide them.
As for Guo Shuangjiang, he could only keep his life temporarily, mainly because he was her nominal father. If something happened to him before the marriage, she would be implicated.
This was also the main reason why she had been patient and had not taken action against the Guo family.
No one in the Guo family can die before she gets married!
But it didn't matter if these servants outside the Guo family were killed. Even though these two men might be innocent, their positions were relative, and all the innocent people had to die.
