Chapter 153 The Purpose Behind Eliminating Evil

Si He stayed in the house for several days, learning about talismans, while Ning Ji continued to study medicine and research spiritual essences. He tried to extract the corpse qi from the spiritual essences. The two were busy with their own things.

Moreover, it was snowing heavily outside and the weather was cold. Ning Ji would only go out occasionally when he needed to buy some food.

Neither of them paid any more attention to the Huang family's affairs.

It was not until more than half a month later, when the weather was a little better, that Ning Ji took Si He out, fearing that she would be bored.

Moro City is rather desolate in winter, with few pedestrians on the streets, but the restaurants are a bit more lively.

When Ning Ji and Si He were eating in the restaurant, they heard people talking about topics such as the general situation of the border war or the evil spirits in the Huang family.

Now the border war is in full swing. The Beisha Kingdom broke through Qinghe Pass and captured Qicheng of the Dayan Kingdom. Although they won the battle, many people died.

Some families whose family members have joined the army are very worried about this, fearing bad news.

However, most of the people who can afford to spend money in big restaurants nowadays are from wealthy families, and very few of them have joined the army, so what they talk about the most is the Huang family.

After all, this matter is very strange. It has been more than half a month now, and the "thing" that did evil in the Huang family has not been eliminated. Even many people have died one after another. The matter has become more and more serious, and some families living near the Huang family are also panicked.

"I wonder what evil the Huang family has done. That 'dirty thing' is clearly targeting them. I heard someone died yesterday?"

"Who knows if it was just one person who died, or several? The officials were so secretive when they went to transport the bodies, fearing it would have a negative impact."

"Many immortal masters have gone there, but why hasn't that 'thing' been eliminated after so long? I'm afraid they're just seeking fame and reputation."

"Tsk~ How dare you say that? If this gets out, you'll be in big trouble."

"Tsk~ I think they can barely save themselves. Look at the Huang Mansion. Many people say it's a man-eating haunted house. Anyone who goes in is in great danger, and anyone who comes out is certain to die."

"I've heard about that, too. They say a few servants secretly escaped a while ago, but died not long after. None of them survived. Even the officials don't dare enter now. They have to have the bodies carried out by the people inside. It's pretty weird."

"The Huang family must have done something wrong to provoke such a powerful creature. Now everyone on the street is trembling with fear."

"I heard that a fairy master also left secretly, but I don't know if it's true."

……

Si He was a little surprised when she heard what these people in the restaurant were talking about. She didn't expect that the matter had not been resolved yet. That "thing" was more powerful than she had imagined.

At the same time, she was also a little puzzled. With so many Taoists going there, even if some of them were not very capable, it couldn't be that all of them were unable to do anything with that "thing", right?

Is that 'something' so unique and difficult to solve?

She thought back to what she had seen in the yard before. It shouldn't be that serious, right?

Although she was unable to deal with it, she did not believe that the Taoist priest from Beisha Country would be so bad.

"Husband, do you think that 'thing' is tricky?" she asked him curiously in a low voice.

Ning Ji picked up some food for her, his lips curled up slightly, and he said meaningfully: "It's not the 'thing' that's tricky, it's the person."

Si He looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

He said, “Eat first.”

Seeing him say that, it was obvious that some things were not convenient to say here, so she had no choice but to eat obediently and ask later.

After eating delicious food, we walked out of the restaurant. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and those passing by were in a hurry. The weather was too cold and no one wanted to stay outside for long.

Now that there were fewer people around, she was less cautious about what she said. Si He couldn't help but be curious and asked him, "Husband, what did you mean by that just now?"

Ning Ji held her hand and walked with her, saying, "Evil creatures that devour souls are rare. If their evil aura is still weak, it's not difficult to deal with. But when they have devoured many souls, their evil aura becomes stronger, and it will indeed be more difficult."

Si He thought about it and realized that the evil spirit in the house next door was quite strong that day, but...

Ning Ji added, "For ordinary people, this kind of evil thing would be something they would want to get rid of as soon as possible, but for some people, it is a treasure."

"Bao?" She opened her eyes wide, very surprised.

He said: "If used properly, this thing can also become your own powerful weapon, just like a spiritual tablet, once you subdue it, you can drive it."

Si He nodded in understanding. Raising a spirit tablet is like raising a ghost, so this evil creature can also be raised. "Then why haven't they subdued it for so long?"

Ning Ji's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm. He said, "Perhaps it's because the evil spirit isn't strong enough yet. Those people want to wait a little longer, until it's almost fully grown, before taking action."

Si He was shocked when she heard this, but since they were on the street, she could only whisper, "So they are doing this on purpose? They are deliberately letting that 'thing' kill people and devour souls!"

So when the evil energy was rising to the sky that day, those Taoists came over quickly like cats smelling blood.

It’s a pity that the people of the Huang family are still begging others to help get rid of the evil spirit. This is simply inviting a wolf into the house. They are sold and still help others count the money!

Those people are so cruel, they use the lives of people in other people's homes to feed evil creatures, and they eat, drink and take money for free!

"Aren't they afraid of being discovered and exposed by doing this, and becoming a pariah?" Si He was a little confused. After all, more than half a month had passed. Perhaps, there were people like Ning Ji who had seen through the trick.

Ning Ji's eyes were somewhat obscure and unclear, "They must have something to rely on to do this."

"Rely on?" Si He was a little curious, "How about we go and take a look?"

From what she had heard people in the restaurant talking about before, she knew that the Huang Mansion was on Wuzi Street in the south of the city, not far from here.

He responded, "Okay."

In the south of the city, Wuzi Street is where wealthy or powerful families gather.

The Huang family can only be considered a small family in Moro City, but the family has some industries, and Huang Dashan, the second branch of the family, has a position in the government office, so the Huang family has some reputation in Moro City, but that's all.

When Si He and Ning Ji arrived at Wuzi Street, they felt that it was so deserted and a little weird.

Because of the evil spirits happening in the Huang Mansion now, many people would rather take a detour than pass by here, for fear of being contaminated by unclean things.

Some of the people living on this street have even moved out temporarily and will come back after the evil spirits are eliminated. After all, people who can live here own more than one house, so there is no need to take the risk of staying.

Nowadays, only a few families still live on this street, but they rarely go out unless necessary. Most of the shops on the street are closed, making it deserted.

However, when she stepped into the street, Si He noticed that there were people guarding the shops on both sides of the street. She looked up and saw that they were police officers.
