Chapter 184: The Shop's Stuff
Chapter 184: The Shop's Stuff
On the other side, Ning Ji and Si He also walked into a shop on the street.
This is also a jewelry shop. Because it is close to the street where the Qian family lives, this shop has never been looted.
However, when he first entered the shop, he encountered a mutated and ferocious corpse.
This evil corpse was originally a waiter who stayed in the shop. Compared with the previous evil corpse in red, this one was obviously much weaker, so it was easy to deal with.
After Ning Ji subdued the evil corpse, he did not kill him immediately. Instead, like the others, he absorbed the evil spirit inside the corpse.
Si He stood by and watched curiously. The object he used to absorb evil spirits was a black jade stone called the Soul-Snatching Stone.
She had seen this soul-catching stone before. Ning Ji had taken it when he left the tomb in the back mountain of Taiyi Sect.
But later on, it was kept in his bag and she never saw him use it, so she found it quite novel now.
Ning Ji pierced the corpse's eyebrows with a dagger, and then immediately placed the soul-stealing stone on the corpse's eyebrows. The next moment, a shrill scream was heard.
She saw the Soul Stone light up slightly, and the screams of the corpse stopped.
It is very simple to use this soul-stealing stone to capture the soul. There is no complicated process. When Ning Ji withdrew his hand, the corpse was completely dead, leaving only a shell, a true dead body.
Ning Ji took a piece of cloth from the shop and wiped the blood stains on the soul-stealing stone, then took out a tinder, lit a candle, and illuminated the dim room.
As the candlelight lit up, the hideous face of the corpse on the ground became clearer.
Si He glanced at it and then looked away, "Husband, what do you want this evil spirit for?"
He said: "It can be used for defense in the future."
She looked at him with some doubts. At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from upstairs.
Tick-tick-tick-tick
Someone was walking downstairs slowly, step by step. The footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every time they landed, there was a heart-pounding echo that made people's hair stand on end.
Si He suddenly stared at the entrance of the corridor nervously. The footsteps with a strange rhythm were getting closer and clearer. Every step seemed to step on her heartstrings, making her heart beat faster subconsciously.
She was 100% sure that this could not be a living person.
She silently approached Ning Ji, staring at him without blinking, her whole body tense. At this moment, she felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot and it was very cold.
Ning Ji stood in front of Si He, looking at the corridor entrance with an indifferent expression.
The next moment, the 'person' in the corridor came down.
This time, it was not a murderous corpse, but a female ghost in white!
Because her body was slightly transparent, she was not a real corpse. However, every step she took felt like she was stepping on the stairs.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. Si He thinks the most important thing is that this ghost thing looks so scary!
The female ghost was barefoot, her feet were covered in blood, her white clothes were also stained with blood, her long hair was disheveled, her eyes were empty, her entire eyeballs were gouged out, revealing empty eye sockets, which were bloody, with two lines of blood flowing under her eye sockets. She looked particularly creepy.
The female ghost slowly turned her head and looked at the two of them, a strange smile slowly rising from the corner of her mouth.
Si He pursed her lips and her body tensed even more. Seeing this horrible appearance, she was really worried that she would have a nightmare at night!
However, before the female ghost could make any move, Ning Ji jumped over with his sword in hand!
His sword was not unsheathed, but talismans were engraved on the scabbard to ward off evil spirits.
However, before the sword could hit the female ghost, she dodged it by turning sideways!
Unexpectedly, the female ghost's reaction was not slow. This time, she no longer walked down the stairs slowly as before.
Ning Ji did not stop, took out a piece of talisman paper and waved it quickly towards the female ghost.
The talisman hit the ghost girl's shoulder, and she immediately let out a shrill scream. The piercing sound echoed throughout the shop and also spread to the street outside.
The talisman paper was extremely destructive, causing the female ghost to move a little slower. Ning Ji threw another talisman paper at her, knocking her to the ground.
Si He's eyes lit up slightly, and she thought to herself that this talisman paper was really powerful!
At this moment, the female ghost was lying on the ground in pain. She raised her head, her ferocious face was full of anger, and her bloody eye sockets were filled with gray gas. She screamed loudly!
The female ghost's face was facing Si He, only about five meters away.
Just when the female ghost was about to pounce on Si He, Ning Ji swung a sword. The scabbard hit the female ghost so hard that it seemed as if her soul was about to be shattered, and her screams were even more tragic than before.
The female ghost lay on the ground, unable to move, with a distorted face.
Ning Ji had a cold face. He took out the soul-stealing stone and quickly absorbed the female ghost into it.
In a blink of an eye, the ghost girl disappeared.
With the disappearance of the female ghost, the cold atmosphere in the room also dissipated a lot.
Si He finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that in addition to a murderous corpse, there was also a female ghost in the shop!
It seems that this town is really dangerous. It can be said to be a very dangerous place, a ghost town!
Most of the people who died in the town had undergone strange changes, either turning into evil spirits or into vicious corpses!
Although we know that some Taoist priests are involved in this, there must be something wrong with this town, otherwise the whole town would not be so weird.
At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside. The people who had heard the noise came over to check the situation.
Ning Ji had just put away the Soul-Snatching Stone when those people came to the outside of the shop.
They looked in curiously and saw a dead body lying by the door of the shop. It was the waiter who had turned into a corpse. Apart from that, there was nothing unusual.
"Brother, have you solved it?" One of them wanted to go into the shop, but Ning Ji raised his sword and stopped him, his meaning was clear.
The man sneered, "Humph~ This isn't your shop, right? Why won't you let us in?"
Ning Ji said indifferently: "If you have the ability to pass my sword, I will let you in."
These words were so overbearing that the man laughed in anger. However, he still held himself back and did not act rashly because the people behind him had no intention of taking action and seemed to want him to test it first. But he was not stupid. If he acted rashly and got injured, he would suffer the consequences, which would not be conducive to the subsequent treasure hunt.
There's more than one jewelry store in this town, so we can just look for another one. "Hmph~ Let's see how long you can be so arrogant."
The man retreated. Seeing this, the others had different thoughts in their mind, but no one planned to enter the shop again. It was obvious that this man was not easy to deal with, and now was not the time to take action.
They looked at the shop, then turned around and went to several shops across the street to search for valuables.
