Chapter 230 Fire
Chapter 230 Fire
Everyone in the group looked very unhappy. They didn't expect that there would be a ghost wall here.
There were eight of them in their group, five of whom had been to Zhuangjia Town before. Those who had experienced the ghost wall there found it very vexing. When the wall suddenly disappeared, they were puzzled and had many speculations. A few people believed that someone had taken away or eliminated the source of the trouble in the town, which was why the wall disappeared.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
The source of the evil that was captured and suppressed is in this villa.
Their hearts sank, but they could only keep moving forward, looking for a way out.
……
At the farm outside the villa, Zhao Laoxie also had a gloomy expression. He had heard his subordinates report before that Ning Ji and his men had left the city, but later left through a small path. The group of subordinates who had been following them were still following them from a distance. When Zhao Laoxie heard the news, he felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, when they sent people to chase and search, they found the bodies of those men!
They are all dead, not a single one is left alive!
They carefully inspected the scene and found no evil aura. The talismans on the men were intact and had not been harmed by any ghosts. They all died from sword wounds, and one sword was fatal, which showed how good the man's skills were!
Zhao Laoxie's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. He suppressed his anger and after thinking for a while, he asked his men to transfer some more people from the city to track down the whereabouts of Ning Ji and the other two.
Now, in addition to Zhao Laoxie who was paying attention to the whereabouts of Ning Ji and the other two, Ou Yuanxiong and the county magistrate in the city also sent people to keep an eye on them, but none of them kept a close eye on them as closely as the Zhao family. After they noticed that the Zhao family had chased them out of the city, they followed them from a distance. It can be said that they discovered the killed guards earlier than the Zhao family.
After they saw that all the Zhao family members who were tracking them were killed, they immediately stopped tracking. In the final analysis, they did not want to get involved to avoid causing harm to their own innocent people. Ou Yuanxiong, in particular, had a deep understanding of this.
So they stopped sending people to track them and instead kept an eye on the movements of Zhaojiazhuang.
By this time, more and more people knew about what was happening in Zhaojiazhuang, and some of the more adventurous and courageous people in the city made plans to go out and take a look. Passersby on the official road would occasionally stop to observe the situation.
So now, outside Zhaojiazhuang, there were quite a few people watching from afar, but due to the hazy fog, it was difficult to see what was happening inside the villa. Some of them, like Ning Ji and his group, climbed the mountain to look far away, looking for a good view.
The Zhao family had previously sent people up the mountain to observe the situation in the villa, but there was a light gray fog over the villa. Even if you look out from the mountain, you can't see anything. The vision is very blurry, so the fog caused the people to withdraw.
The main reason was that there were not enough people. Previously, a whole village had died in the villa, causing the Zhao family to suffer heavy losses.
Time passed by little by little. Except for some movement at the beginning, the villa was silent and dead silent afterwards, which inevitably made people outside have bad speculations.
Especially Taoist Liu and Taoist Wang Cong, who had been there before, they were now guessing in their hearts that those people were probably in great danger. After all, they had been there before and knew the dangers well.
Zhao Laoxie's expression became increasingly ugly, but he could only wait patiently. Perhaps there was just a minor problem, and it was hard to say whether they were trapped. After all, they had gone in well prepared, and there were quite a few of them, and they were experienced, so they would not be trapped so quickly.
……
On the mountain, Si He looked at the villa not far below with a serious expression.
Ever since those Taoists entered the villa, she has been keeping an eye on the movements there. Although she can't see clearly and it's very blurry, she can only judge the situation there by listening to the sounds.
It was normal to have fights and confrontations. She guessed that the ghosts in the villa would become a little troublesome because of the Yin Gathering Stone, otherwise they would have been able to deal with it yesterday. Moreover, Ning Ji also said that he was not optimistic about them.
But she didn't expect that the noise in the villa would die down so quickly?
She waited for a long time before asking Ning Ji, "Husband, do you think they are in danger?"
Ning Yi looked at the villa shrouded in gray fog, his dark eyes indifferent, a smile on his lips, "They shouldn't die so easily, maybe they are just trapped."
"Trapped?" She withdrew her gaze and looked at the man beside her. There was a hint of coldness on her handsome profile.
But when he turned his head to look at her, the coldness quietly dissipated. He smiled lightly and said, "He He, do you still remember the ghost wall in Zhuangjia Town?"
Hearing what he said, her eyes immediately lit up, "You said they encountered a ghost wall in the villa?"
That strange scene was indeed very tricky. It was able to trap so many people and no one had any way to deal with it. Even Ning Ji had to search for a long time before he found some loopholes.
It’s not surprising that the people in the villa can be trapped now, but I didn’t expect that there would be a ghost wall here.
He said, "Inside the Yin-Gathering Stone, there are several ghostly creatures in the Evil-Suppressing Cauldron. Those ghostly creatures are the cause of the ghost wall phenomenon. Judging from the current situation, it's likely that the phenomenon has reappeared. If we want to get out, we must deal with those ghostly creatures first."
"I thought you had dealt with the ghosts in the Qian family, but it turns out you suppressed them in that cauldron." She raised her head slightly to look at him. He had already captured a lot of ghosts and evil spirits in the town, and the number was terrifying. It seemed that he had a purpose.
Sure enough, he said, "It would be a waste to destroy it."
She was about to ask again when suddenly there was some noise coming from the villa at the foot of the mountain.
She turned her head and saw a strong fire suddenly rising from the villa. It was vaguely visible in the gray fog and thick smoke was billowing.
Why did the fire suddenly start?
"what--"
When the flames started, sounds were finally heard in the villa, but they were the screams of the Taoists. There were also faint curses, but they were not very clear.
As thick black smoke continued to rise from the villa, the sky above the entire villa became dark, as if a thick black cloud was slowly forming and did not dissipate at all, only filling the area of the villa and the surrounding woods.
The villa looked even more creepy at this time, more like a ghost town and purgatory. All kinds of screams were heard one after another, but no one could escape from there for a long time.
After a while, the sound stopped and the fire in the villa slowly went out and no longer burned.
The villa returned to peace, with only the thick black smoke in the air as proof of what had just happened.
Those who were paying close attention outside the villa were naturally stunned when they saw this scene.
This matter is getting more and more serious. If it continues like this, it may spread to the nearby city. The officers who were secretly following them quickly retreated towards the city and reported the situation to their superiors.
