Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 180 The Troublesome Evil Spirit

Helian Jie followed his gaze and was also a little surprised. Did they know each other?

Zhao Laoxie quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Helian Jie, "Brother Helian."

"Brother Zhao, thank you for your help this time." Helian Jie bowed to him.

Zhao Laoxie was also one of the people he invited. The more people he invited, the greater his hope would be. Because before coming, he had heard about the peculiarity of this town. Zhao Laoxie had strange methods, and perhaps he could be of some help.

Of course, asking Zhao Laoxie for help cannot be done with money. After all, he is a wealthy businessman and has no shortage of money, but he lacks a foothold in the Beisha Kingdom.

Beilian Trading Company has deep roots in Beisha Country. As the future successor of Beilian Trading Company, there is no problem for Helian Jie to help Zhao Laoxie. Everyone should reciprocate and benefit each other.

"Brother Helian, you're too polite. I'll do my best." Zhao Laoxie finished speaking, then looked towards the pavilion not far away and asked, "What happened again?"

Helian Jie looked at the pavilion and said, "The man who just escaped from the town is now seriously injured and unconscious, and is possessed by evil spirits."

Zhao Laoxie looked thoughtfully at the busy crowd in the pavilion. After a while, he said, "It seems that the evil spirit here is quite troublesome."

Helianjie nodded solemnly.

At this time, the officers not far away also walked over here and briefly informed about the situation here. Because there have been a lot of people coming here recently, a considerable number of them are planning to enter the town to scavenge, and the officers can basically identify this type of people at a glance.

Although the government did not stop them from entering the town, they had to understand the rules: anyone who took anything out of the town had to pay 30% of the profit to the government.

This was also the reason why these officials took the risk of guarding here. Otherwise, they would have found a way to burn the town down and put an end to it. Of course, there were also orders from above to station them outside the town, so whether it was for public or private reasons, they had to guard here first.

After hearing what the officers said, Zhao Laoxie nodded to show his understanding.

For many people, handing over 30% of the profits to the government for confiscation is considered a good thing. Of course, this is also because the town is too dangerous. Otherwise, the government officials would have gone in to move things away long ago, and it would not be the turn of others to scavenge.

"It's getting late. If you want to enter the town, it's better to wait until tomorrow. The town is more dangerous at night than during the day." The government leader advised kindly. He didn't want these people to lose their lives in vain. After all, if they could take valuable things out of the town, they would also benefit.

"Thanks for the reminder." Zhao Laoxie thanked him with a smile, although he had no plans to enter the town today.

After the chief officer finished speaking, he turned and left.

At this time, the setting sun slowly sank, the sky became darker and darker, and the town was gradually shrouded in a thick shadow. Except for the occasional sound of the wind, the town was silent, and even the night birds did not dare to fly into the town.

Si He and Ning Ji looked for a while and then walked back.

The villagers in the village also returned home one after another. After nightfall, it would be very dangerous outside, so they would not go out easily.

Zhao Laoxie turned his head to look at the two figures not far away. Helian Jie looked like a wind and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you know them?"

"I don't know him, we've only met a few times." Zhao Laoxie retracted his gaze and replied with a smile.

As the sky darkened, the two groups entered the village to seek shelter, renting a few courtyards and squeezing in. As for entering the town, they would have to wait until tomorrow morning.

A group of officials outside the town also came into the village to rest. They had been doing this recently, entering the village at dusk and coming out at dawn.

However, the villagers did not dare to charge them any fees, and they had to provide some food and drink. Because there were so many people, every household had to vacate a room for them to live in. After all, the officials were also protecting the village.

Soon, it became completely dark and candles were lit in the village, adding some light to the darkness.

There were also several big red lanterns hanging in the pavilion at the entrance of the village. When the night wind blew, the lanterns swayed gently, and the lights inside flickered a little, like ghost lights, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, making everything around them distorted and weird.

The bright red lanterns and the cinnabar talismans in the pavilion were particularly dazzling in the dim light, as red as blood, inexplicably adding an indescribable atmosphere of horror.

The three people lying in the pavilion were still unconscious, their faces looked even uglier, very pale, but with black spots on their foreheads.

On the corridor beside the pavilion, in addition to two young disciples guarding it, there were also two older Taoists sitting by and watching over it.

Because they had already treated the injuries of the three people, all that was left was to expel the evil spirits from their bodies. At this time, they used some unique objects to absorb evil spirits, placed them on the three people on the ground, and slowly absorbed the evil spirits, but they had to keep an eye on them at all times.

Therefore, they had no chance of sleeping that night, but since they were being paid for the job and they were also colleagues they knew, they had no choice but to work harder.

The night wind was blowing. The early summer nights here were not too hot, and the wind was even a little chilly.

The night wind continued to blow, making a humming sound. I don’t know if it was caused by the environment, but the sound was like the sobbing of lonely ghosts in the distance, which made people feel cold.

At this moment, the whole village had closed its doors and windows, and no one dared to speak too loudly.

Si He was quite satisfied with the quiet night, especially since she and Ning Ji were the only ones left in the yard, while the other two had gone to the pavilion at the entrance of the village to guard their master.

Yes, among the three people who came out of the town with serious injuries, two were their masters, but they were not killed, which was a blessing in disguise.

Si He ate the dry food she had bought earlier and asked, "Husband, what do you think about what's happening in this town?"

Ning Ji said, "Judging from the current situation, something is indeed amiss, but the evil spirit in the town isn't too strong yet. We can go in and take a look tomorrow."

Hearing him say this, she was a little surprised. Although they did not get close to the town today, they could feel something was wrong in the town from afar, which showed how strong the evil spirit inside was. He said this was not strong enough?

However, it is naturally a good thing that he can cope with it.

She thought of what the man named Helianjie had asked her and said, "There will probably be a lot of people coming into the town tomorrow."

Although the three people who came out of the town in the evening were seriously injured and unconscious, two more groups of people came today. It is obvious that one group of them will go in, and then the others will probably follow. After all, more people will give people courage, and fortune is sought in danger. Most of the people who come here are for money.

I believe that many people are also tempted by the one hundred taels of gold. Although there is not much chance of getting the man’s sister, those who can come here to scavenge will not give up this opportunity.

At that time, when they are scavenging, they can just look for more. As long as they don't go to places where the evil spirit is too strong, the danger is relatively low, because I heard that someone took out a lot of money from there a few days ago.
