Chapter 154: People are much scarier than evil spirits

She thought that perhaps something happened in the Huang Mansion, so they were stationed here.

As the two men walked into the long street, the officials on the upper floors of the shops looked at them and sized them up.

The cold wind blew, and the chill was terrifying.

There was a thick layer of snow on both sides of the street, which made a squeaking sound when stepped on. However, a path had been cleared in the middle of the road to facilitate the passage of carriages.

At this time, a horse-drawn carriage carrying food came quickly, delivering goods to some families on the street.

Now that this has happened at the Huang Mansion, although the delivery fee has increased, the driver is still not very happy about it, thinking that coming here is really bad luck.

The carriage passed by quickly. The driver, upon seeing Si He and Ning Ji walking down the street, could not help but exclaim, "How brave!"

The carriage quickly turned into an alley and disappeared.

Si He and Ning Ji walked slowly along the street, which was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.

But both of them knew that after entering the street, the gazes from people on both sides of the street never stopped, including officials and other people.

The two of them just walked forward silently, as if they were just passing by.

Of course, there are usually some brave people who would come here out of curiosity to see what's going on here, so it's not too strange to see two people walking on this quiet long street.

After a while, Si He and Ning Ji arrived in front of Huang's house.

The door to the Huang Mansion was tightly closed. Yellow talisman papers were pasted in an orderly manner on the door, walls, and pillars. The runes on the talisman papers were painted with cinnabar, a dazzling red. The complex patterns and words were intertwined together, like dragons and phoenixes dancing.

When the cold wind blew, the talisman papers swayed in the wind, and the air was filled with a strange and heavy atmosphere, which made people feel afraid.

Some of the talismans were not stuck tightly and were blown off by the wind, floating in the air, rising and falling. From a distance, those who didn't know might think they were paper money. Just looking at this scene, I felt inexplicably creepy.

The weather is pretty good today, no snow, but cloudy.

But this street feels gloomier than other places, especially above the Huang Mansion, as if there is a layer of haze, dark and gray. Staying here for a long time makes people feel an indescribable depression and restraint.

Standing outside the Huang Mansion, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of a Taoist performing a ritual inside, and at the same time, you can faintly hear the sound of low crying.

Si He and Ning Ji had only stood there for a moment when an official from a nearby shop building came and drove them away, saying, "Exit this area immediately, all outsiders."

The two of them took a look at the people in the small building before leaving.

However, before they had gone far, they saw a carriage coming out of the alley ahead.

This was not a carriage for delivering food. The cover was quite tight, but after the carriage turned around, a shoe could be seen sticking out from the corner of the back of the carriage.

This car was carrying dead bodies, people who were killed by that "thing" in the Huang Mansion.

The driver was wearing official boots, and was obviously an official from the government office.

Thinking about the officers who were following him on the street just now, Si He now roughly guessed what these Taoists in the Huang Mansion relied on.

Their reliance is the government!

But why?

Could it be that those Taoists gave us benefits?

But so many people died, and if it gets out of hand, it won't be good for the government either. I guess it's not worth it for such a small benefit, right?

On the way back, Si He was quite silent. Firstly, it was not convenient to say much outside, and secondly, this incident surprised her.

It was not until she returned to her own house that she spoke: "Husband, they rely on the government, right?"

Although she was already certain in her heart, she still wanted to ask his opinion.

Ning Ji took off her thick cloak and said, "Yes, we can't do anything about this."

From the previous interrogations by the officials and the situation at the time, he vaguely guessed something, so he refused outright at the time and did not want to be involved.

If you get involved in this matter, there are only two results: either you become an enemy of all of them, or you become part of their group.

No matter what the result is, it will disrupt his current peaceful life. His current focus is on studying spiritual essences and medicine, and living a peaceful life with her. The life and death of others has nothing to do with him.

Si He nodded. She knew the complexity of the matter and had no intention of involving him. After all, she was not the kind of person who was easily kind-hearted.

There are so many poor innocent people in this world. It is naturally a good thing to help others when you can, but the premise is that you don’t cause trouble to yourself and those around you.

If it were just those Taoists, it would be fine, but the government is behind them, and it would be very troublesome to offend the government. It was already troublesome enough that they were wanted in the Great Yan Kingdom before, and if they were to be charged with a crime by the government here, that would be too much to bear.

These days, she has clearly realized that the world is treacherous and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Many times, people are much scarier than evil spirits.

"I originally thought that the government of Dayan Kingdom was complicated enough, but I didn't expect that the government of Beisha Kingdom was no less complicated." She couldn't help but sigh.

In the Great Yan Kingdom, there is a national teacher like Jiang Yuan, and the court is complicated. But in the Beisha Kingdom, who knows what other powerful people will be there?

Ning Ji raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Well, you've walked for such a long time, why don't you take a rest? I'll make you some milk tea."

"Okay." She nodded.

He put his cloak away and went to the kitchen.

But after a while, there was a knock on the door outside, and the knock seemed a little urgent.

Si He was a little confused. Who was coming to her house?

Ning Ji opened the gate and saw Madam Huang II approaching with several servants. She looked anxious and said, "Master, please help me. Can you set up some magic arrays in my house to exorcise evil spirits?"

Ning Ji said indifferently, "I'm not some immortal master. I just know a little bit about it. Your mansion has already invited many immortal masters. It's not that you haven't even set up a formation to exorcise evil spirits, right?"

Madam Huang was a little excited at this moment, but she suppressed her emotions and said in a restrained manner: "It's useless! That 'thing' is too powerful, they can't deal with it at all! My husband was killed by that 'thing' last night!"

She couldn't help but be excited. Last night she saw Huang Dashan being bitten to death by a servant who was possessed by an evil spirit!

She almost lost her life!

Fortunately, she ran fast and reached the front hall where the Taoists were at the time, so she escaped.

But later those Taoists went into the house to catch the servant who was possessed by the evil spirit, but it was too late. For some reason, the servant also died, so they did not catch the harmful "thing" at all!

Everyone carried talismans to ward off evil spirits and there were a lot of them pasted around the house, but it was useless!

Many people have died these days, and she is really scared. She wants to leave the Huang Mansion, but no one agrees. Those Taoists said that escaping will only make her die faster and will also implicate the people in the mansion!
