Chapter 181 The Situation in the Town

Ning Ji took out a kettle, poured her a glass of water, and said, "More people will be better. We won't attract too much attention when we enter the town."

She picked up the cup and took a sip of water. At this moment, a scream came from outside. She couldn't help but prick up her ears and listen attentively.

"what……"

The sound was strange and creepy, as if the person was suffering from unspeakable torture.

Immediately afterwards, there was another commotion in the village. People must have been startled by the sound and went out to check what was going on.

Ning Ji also went out to take a look. It turned out that one of the people lying in the pavilion had woken up, but because he was tortured by evil spirits, he couldn't help but scream.

At this moment, the people guarding the pavilion have taken action to help suppress the evil spirits.

After a while, the shouting stopped and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Helianjie, Zhao Laoxie and others left the village again and walked towards the pavilion outside the village entrance. After all, they were awake, so they could ask about the situation in the town first. No one knew whether the three of them could survive tonight. Knowing some news as soon as possible would be helpful for entering the town tomorrow.

Seeing this, some Taoists who were temporarily staying in the village also followed and walked towards the pavilion, all with the same idea in mind.

The man who woke up was named Xu, also known as Xu Laodao. After the evil energy in his body was suppressed, he was panting tiredly and was very weak, but he had regained consciousness and was relatively sober.

After the three of them came out before, they couldn't hold on and fainted, and didn't have time to tell people about the situation in the town. Now that he saw a group of people standing around who were trying to get information, he didn't mind telling them about the situation in the town.

Originally, the three of them, like everyone else, had simply searched for valuables in places with less evil energy and used spiritual tools to absorb some of the evil energy. Of course, he was being euphemistic, simply saying it was to expel the evil energy.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning, and they had a good harvest, until they went to Qian's house, which was the place with the strongest evil spirit in the town. Many people went there at that time, and everyone went together, but after entering the Qian's house, everything changed.

The Qian family's house was filled with evil spirits and was shrouded in gray. Not long after they entered, the group got separated and encountered a "ghost wall".

The three of them followed closely together and did not get separated, but it was difficult for them to get out. They kept wandering around in one place and were sleepy for a long time.

This happened during the day, and they tried their best but could not break through this tricky "ghost wall". Although they did not encounter any evil spirits except being trapped at that time, as time went by, the evil spirit in the house became stronger as it got closer to dusk. If they waited until night, the situation would probably be even more difficult.

So they risked their lives and used forbidden techniques to barely escape from the Qian family.

The three of them fled all the way without even having time to take the spoils they had looted. They hurried out of the town and managed to survive.

The source of the disaster, the Qian family, was much more terrifying than they had expected and was very tricky to deal with. No wonder so many people had entered the town before and were unable to come out. They were probably all heading for the Qian family.

After all, the Qian family is a wealthy family in the town, so they naturally have more good things than ordinary families. People who go there to scavenge naturally don't want to miss the opportunity to get in.

After hearing this, the people who came to the pavilion to inquire about the news had an idea in their minds.

This is good news for those who are just scavenging. Originally, many people planned to give up the idea of ​​entering the town, but now it seems that as long as they don't get close to the Qian family, it won't be that dangerous.

For Helianjie and others, this news was neither good nor bad. Although they had planned to find Helena's body, after all, many people said that there were no living people in the town, but the Qian family was too dangerous, and they could not guarantee whether Helena's body would be in the Qian family.

Because a big reason why Helena stayed in this town before was to see the excitement in the Qian family. At that time, the Qian family was just plagued by evil spirits and the situation was not that serious.

Now they just hope that Helena's body is in the inn in the town.

Because the evil spirit broke out at night, no one in the town could escape.

After discussing for a while, the group of people near the pavilion decided to go into the town together tomorrow and simply formulated a rule. Since they were acting together, the things they found after entering the town tomorrow would be divided according to their personal abilities and the number of people, so as to avoid causing confusion or trouble.

Some people agree with this code of conduct, while others disagree. Those who agree stick together, while those who disagree act on their own. The fewer people there are, the greater the risk, but if you don't enter the dangerous area, the gains may not be small.

After a brief discussion, everyone returned to the village with their own thoughts.

……

Inside the house, Si He listened to the news Ning Ji had gathered and was still a little surprised at the danger posed by the Qian family. "Husband, do you think those Taoists who previously colluded with the government have also met with danger?"

Looking at the current situation, she finally realized it.

She had found it strange before. Since this town was a place for those people to make profits, why would they allow others to get involved and share the profits?

The attitude of the government is also strange. They can even give up their interests and attract so many Taoists to come here to exorcise evil spirits. You should know that in the past, after all the people in the Huang Mansion died, all their property was confiscated and put into the government's treasury.

Now, the wealth of a town is only collected by letting people in and taking out 30%.

The current situation can only mean that something happened to those Taoists.

Ning Ji curled his lips and said, "Maybe."

……

This night, everything was calm.

In the early morning, many people got up early, and the officials were guarding outside the town diligently.

The villagers prepared a lot of food and sold it to the residents in the village. Some villagers even carried a basket of food and walked around the village while selling it. So you could hear a lot of hawking sounds early in the morning, and the village seemed to have become a small market.

Si He was awakened by the noisy hawking.

She opened her eyes and looked out the window. It was already bright outside, but the bed beside her was a little cold. It was obvious that Ning Ji had also gotten up early.

She woke up for a while before sitting up.

At this time, Ning Ji walked in from outside, "Are you up?"

"Yeah." She sat on the edge of the bed, her hair was a little messy, and a small tuft of hair on her forehead was slightly curled up, which was pressed down when she slept. There was a faint mark on her cheek, which looked very cute.

He walked over to the bed, reached out to comb her hair, and smoothed down the tuft of hair that stuck up. "What do you want to eat in the morning? There are food stalls in the village, but they're simple, just rice porridge, steamed buns, and corn. If you don't want to eat those, I can make you something else."

"Just eat rice porridge and steamed buns." She didn't want him to prepare food, it was too troublesome.
