Chapter 195 The Ghost Funeral Procession
As the night deepened, a strange sound suddenly came from the street outside.
The sound was very noisy, with crying, chaotic footsteps, and wailing music. These sounds formed a creepy melody that made people shudder, as if it was a call from the underworld.
The people in the shops on both sides of the street were startled by the sound. They walked carefully to the doors and windows, reached out to poke a small hole in the window paper, and vigilantly checked the situation outside.
The noisy sound came from far away and soon a group of confused figures appeared strangely on the street!
Si He was awakened by this strange sound.
She opened her eyes vigilantly. She had been sleeping well and deeply under the effect of the pills, but this sound was too weird, like a devil's sound in her ears. It scared her and she woke up immediately.
Moreover, there is an invisible crisis spreading at this moment, a chill that makes people's backs cold and it is hard to ignore.
"Don't be afraid." Ning Ji patted her back gently, comforted her, and then said, "I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he stood up, walked to a window not far away, opened a tiny crack, and looked at the street outside.
Seeing this, Si He quickly stood up, walked quickly to Ning Ji's side, and then looked out the window.
The sound was getting closer and closer. Si He leaned forward and saw through the gap in the window a funeral procession passing by on the street.
In this weird town, in the middle of the night, the people who appear on the streets are certainly not humans. This group of people are all ghosts!
At the front of the team were two male ghost guides holding large white lanterns. They were dressed in white, and the hems of their clothes fluttered gently in the wind. The lanterns in their hands swayed, and the shadows of the lanterns swayed, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Under the light, those ghost faces were horribly pale, their eyes were dull, and their movements were a little stiff.
Behind the leading male ghost, there is also a group of ghosts in white clothes. Some are waving and scattering paper money, some are covering their faces and crying, and some are playing music with cymbals and other instruments. Most of the ghosts have dull faces, like puppets, walking forward slowly in a daze. Only the female ghosts who are covering their faces and crying have more expressions.
Then, a black coffin came into view. The surface of the coffin was glowing with a faint luster, and the coffin lid was covered with a piece of white satin, fluttering in the wind. It was very solemn, dignified and weird.
Eight male ghosts carried the coffin, rarely showing any signs of effort, and moved forward slowly.
Seeing this strange scene, Si He froze inexplicably, subconsciously reached out to grab Ning Ji's clothes, and leaned behind him.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't afraid. She thought she had excellent adaptability, but the horror scenes she encountered today were more terrifying than the last.
Especially the funeral scene, it makes people feel particularly creepy!
Ning Ji patted the back of her hand gently to comfort her, then took out the soul-stealing stone from his arms and placed it by the window as an extra layer of defense.
Si He looked at the soul-stealing stone and felt a little relieved, but the fear in her heart still remained.
She stared at the street outside and her breathing became lighter.
Suddenly, she felt that the funeral procession looked very familiar. She looked closely and suddenly remembered the funeral procession she had seen at night when she was staying at the inn in the town.
These ghosts are all from the funeral procession!
She knew that something had happened to the funeral procession that night and they died outside the town, but now, how could these ghosts carry the coffins back to the town?
She pursed her lips, her heart pounding.
At this moment, people in the shops on both sides saw this strange scene, and many of them felt their hearts pounding, especially when they heard the faint crying sounds, the sound of suona and the sound of cymbals, which made them feel creepy.
Those timid girls huddled together, shivering, not daring to breathe, let alone look at the scenery outside. Just hearing the sounds was enough to scare them to death!
The sound was getting closer and closer. At this moment, even the Taoists were on edge, fully alert to this strange funeral procession.
However, the more worried you are, the more strange things will happen.
This ghostly funeral procession suddenly stopped in front of the shop!
The strange music and crying stopped, a cold wind blew, and paper money was flying in the sky, rising and falling.
At this moment, except for the male ghost carrying the coffin, all other ghosts turned around and looked at the shops on both sides, because there was light in the shops and the smell of living people was very strong!
The people in the shop quickly turned off the lights, but it was too late!
The ghosts on the street have floated over, and their originally dull faces have become fierce and full of resentment.
The people in the shop immediately retreated and took out various spiritual weapons and talismans. They did not go out, but were ready to attack at any time.
Fortunately, there were a lot of talismans pasted on the doors and windows, so the ghosts couldn’t get in for the time being. They just floated in front of the doors and windows, screaming loudly!
Seeing this scene, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that you can’t get in!
At this moment, even those Taoists who wanted to capture spirits did not dare to act rashly, because there were too many evil spirits outside!
These "things" now are more troublesome than those during the day, and it is late at night, when the yin energy is at its heaviest. This situation is very unfavorable for them, and there are far more than these "things" on the street. If they take action, the situation will only get worse!
Sharp and piercing ghost cries echoed throughout the long street. This place seemed like a terrifying hell. The sounds made people's ears buzz and their backs chill.
The young men and women in the shop were already frightened to the point of turning pale. Some of them even wet their pants and their hearts almost stopped!
Si He was also frightened by the evil spirits that suddenly pounced on the window. Fortunately, there was talisman paper blocking it. These ghosts did not dare to get too close. They just floated outside the window, opening their mouths wide and roaring.
'Their' mouths were wide open, pitch black, and their faces were terrifying. Under the silvery moonlight, they looked even more eerie and terrifying.
She shrank behind Ning Ji and didn't dare to look anymore. The next moment, she heard the ghost screaming outside become even more shrill, as if it had suffered some serious injury. Then, the ghost screaming stopped!
Si He carefully stuck her head out and took a look, and saw another female ghost's face floating outside, which looked even uglier than the previous one!
Ning Ji pushed open the window, picked up the sword, and used the scabbard to smash the evil spirit outside with a swift movement!
"what!!!"
The evil ghost let out a shrill scream and fell on the windowsill, with its head hitting the soul-catching stone.
The next moment, this ghost thing suddenly disappeared!
She knew that the ghost thing was absorbed into the Soul-Capture Stone!
Seeing Ning Ji clean up the ghost things outside the window with great ease, she breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped back a little, afraid of disturbing him.
