Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 151 Questioning

At this moment, the "thing" had disappeared. Si He withdrew her gaze and saw Ning Ji coming back, so she jumped down from the roof.

"What happened?" He walked up to her.

Si He told him what had just happened, but since there were outsiders present, she didn't say some things, such as the soul-devouring thing, as well as some of her own opinions.

In fact, she was also a little puzzled. When the Taoist priest was exorcising evil spirits before, there was no particularly strong evil spirit in the house. Instead, the evil spirit became overwhelming later. She could only tell him these doubts in private later.

After listening to this, Ning Ji looked sharply towards the direction of the courtyard wall, and then glanced at the servants on the ground.

They were already frightened by what had just happened, and now when they met Ning Ji's cold gaze, they all subconsciously shrank their bodies, fearing that they would be kicked out.

Although they were frightened just now, they were not stupid. They knew that this place could prevent evil spirits from coming in. First, the thing thrown by the girl injured the evil spirit, and then the courtyard wall blocked the evil spirit firmly.

It is very safe here now. They don’t want to leave for the time being, for fear that the dirty thing is still outside. They are really scared.

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and from the sound, a lot of people came.

Since the gate was open, I could see who was coming clearly.

They were some patrolling officials and several Taoists in unusual clothes. A strange evil aura suddenly appeared in the sky above this place just now. Obviously something had happened, so they hurried over.

"There's an evil spirit! Woohoo~ That thing almost killed us!"

A servant in the yard felt relieved when he saw so many people coming, and he quickly pointed to the house next door and cried.

The people outside the door hurried to the house next door. The door of the house next door was also open, and several Taoists led the way and walked in first.

The police officers were guarding outside and did not dare to advance rashly. After all, they did not know how to eliminate evil spirits.

Unfortunately, the 'thing' ran away, leaving only a corpse in the house.

"The evil spirit here is really strong. It must be a powerful thing!" The leading Taoist priest in green frowned slightly, looked around the house, and then checked the body that was crushed to death.

"Master, here is a talisman!" A young disciple picked up the talisman on the ground and handed it to the leading Taoist, An Lai Hu.

An Laihu took the talisman and narrowed his eyes. It was made of rare black wood and was an excellent item for warding off evil spirits. It was more effective than ordinary talismans and was a rare treasure.

After a while, he walked out of the door with the talisman and could only go to the next door to ask about the situation.

The accompanying officials followed closely behind.

A group of people rushed in, and the servants huddled on the ground felt much safer, but Ning Ji was a little unhappy about it, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Faced with the questions of the officials and the Taoist priest, several servants hurriedly told them what had happened before. Recalling the cruelty of "Hongzhu", they were still frightened.

After they finished speaking, Si He pointed to the talisman in An Mingyuan's hand and said, "It's mine."

When An Lai Hu came in, he looked at her and Ning Ji and felt that they were unusual. He had just heard the servants say that it was she who threw the talisman, which injured the evil spirit and gave them a chance to escape.

"Do you two know how to exorcise evil spirits?"

An Laihu glanced at Si He, and then looked at Ning Ji. He was asking this question to Ning Ji.

From the descriptions of several servants, he knew that the girl did not have the ability to exorcise evil spirits, but the talisman was not simple and could only be a means of self-defense left by the man.

Ning Ji only said, "I understand a little bit."

An Laihu nodded, but did not return the things immediately. Instead, he turned around and gave a few instructions to the chief official and his disciples, asking them to lead some people to track down the escaped "Red Pearl".

They followed the order and hurried out to investigate, while the others went to the house next door to search for clues. In addition, someone had to be sent to notify the Huang family to come over.

In a blink of an eye, most of the people had left, leaving only An Lai Hu, a young disciple, and a few frightened servants.

An Laihu looked back at Ning Ji and asked, "What's your name, fellow Taoist? And from whom did you learn?"

Ning Ji reported the name on the fake household registration, "Ding Xi, no family or sect."

An Laihu asked a few more questions about the house next door, but Ning Ji just said he didn't know.

An Laihu's expression remained unchanged as he continued, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ding would be willing to part with this talisman?"

"Not for sale." Ning Ji refused bluntly.

An Laihu was not surprised. After all, black wood was rare and those who knew its value would not sell it easily. He returned the talisman to Ning Ji with some reluctance.

Ning Ji reached out to take it, but did not give it to Si He immediately. He waited a while, cleaned it, and then gave it to her.

At this moment, another group of people came hurriedly from outside. They were a group of officials from the government office. They also brought two Taoists with them. However, these two Taoists did not get along with An Lai Hu and his men, which could be seen from their expressions after they met.

After their team arrived here, they asked about the situation here, but An Laihu and his apprentice did not answer and their attitude was indifferent, so the servants repeated the previous situation again.

After questioning, they hurried away again, some went to the next house, and some went to investigate.

Watching them leave, An Lai Hu's apprentice just snorted, but An Lai Hu didn't say anything. He just turned and walked towards the courtyard wall not far away to check the situation on the wall.

Since it can block that "thing", it means that this protection is not simple.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw a light golden rune on the wall.

It's a normal rune for exorcism, but the technique used to draw it is very good. Most importantly, the ink used to draw it is very special.

An Laihu narrowed his eyes, took a closer look, and also smelled the scent carefully.

This is a rare gold-leaving ink, which is better than cinnabar in exorcising evil spirits, but it seems a bit of a waste to paint it on the wall like this.

After a while, he turned around, looked at Ning Ji, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Ding is really generous."

Ning Ji said: "Make the best use of everything."

Seeing this, the young disciple An Laihu also walked to the wall to take a closer look. After a while, he exclaimed in surprise: "Master, this is Liujinmo!"

"That's right." At this moment, An Laihu looked at Ning Ji with a more meaningful look.

Ning Ji didn't care. He took the talisman and walked to the bucket in front of the kitchen. He scooped a spoonful of water, washed it gently, then wiped it clean with a towel. Then he walked to Si He and tied it around her waist again.

"Come in and rest for a while?" he asked.

Si He thought about it, nodded, and went back to the house first.

As soon as she entered the house, there was a sudden noise outside, and it seemed that a lot of people had come.

But in such a situation, it is not appropriate for a girl to show up. She could only secretly lie by the window and look at the situation outside through the gap.

It was someone from the Huang family who came with a group of officials.
