Chapter 205 Leaving the Town

Those who were leaving the town had disputes with the officials over the issue of handing over their belongings. They had risked their lives to enter the town and had finally snatched a bunch of stuff, so they were naturally unwilling to hand over the good stuff. The officials were only interested in the expensive stuff, so they naturally couldn't leave the town smoothly. For a while, everyone was extremely anxious.

After all, everyone wants to take advantage of the scorching sun and the peak of yang energy to make a few more trips and get more things, so that they won't have to worry about the rest of their lives. But the officials are so nosy that they only take the good things, and now they are starting to stop people from entering. How can this be acceptable?

"Why won't you let us in?! You black-hearted officers, why didn't you stop us before? You were asking us to scout the way for you, but now you won't let us in during the day when there's no danger in the town?! Is there any justice in this world?"

"That's right, you're really black-hearted! You said you'd hand over 30% of the stuff, and only picked the best. We risked our lives to get this, and you just stood outside and handed it over as soon as you said so!"

"Hurry up and let us in! If we keep dragging it out like this, we won't be able to go in until the sun goes down!"

"That's right, get out of the way and let us in!"

"What are you arguing about! What are you arguing about! We've ordered that no one can enter now! We're already being very generous by letting you in to get some things, so don't be greedy!"

"Scatter quickly, scatter quickly! If you try to squeeze in again, we'll catch you all!"

When the villagers who were blocked outside heard that the officers were going to arrest people, they suddenly quieted down and became hesitant. But when they saw the people inside pushing out a cart full of things, they were unwilling to give up and didn't want to retreat.

The ones who quarreled the loudest now turned out to be the ones who came out.

The main reason is that these officials are too corrupt. Now they not only pick the most valuable things, but also increase the original 30% to 50%!

Now, they were immediately unhappy and started arguing again.

In particular, a few idle Taoists who had left the town, after a heated argument, started fighting intentionally or unintentionally because there were too many people around and the crowd was so crowded. The leading officials were pushed to the ground and trampled on by the crowded people, with screams and curses coming one after another.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, with pushing and crowding. A group of people were leaving and entering the town.

Those who were leaving knew when to call it a day and had no intention of entering the town again. They all took their belongings and ran out without handing them over.

Si He and Ning Ji took advantage of the chaos to walk back to the village, saving themselves the trouble of handing over things. Of course, they were mainly afraid that the officials would search too closely and find anything unusual about the small bronze tripod.

After returning to the village entrance, Si He looked at the pavilion not far from the village entrance. The three Taoists who were invaded by evil spirits had woken up. They leaned back in the pavilion, but their faces still looked very ugly. It seemed that the evil spirits in their bodies had not been completely expelled.

This evil spirit is more troublesome than imagined.

Because of this, she became even more wary of what was in the bronze tripod.

She withdrew her gaze and walked back to the village with Ning Ji, and saw Wei Xiaohu running towards them.

Wei Xiaohu had been in the village, watching the situation in the town from afar. When the two of them didn't come back all night, he thought something had happened and was terrified all night.

Until this morning, people began to emerge from the town, saying something had happened there last night, which frightened many people. But soon, the wind changed again, and everyone realized that the town was safe in the bright sunshine, without any evil spirits to harm people. Many people rushed into the town to loot things, and soon, some people came out with a lot of trophies, which made many people jealous.

Soon, the entire village was mobilized. Except for a few people who stayed behind, most of them ran into the town to move things. They did bring back a lot of good things and did not encounter any danger.

He had already made up his mind that if he couldn't wait for his two masters to come back, he would go into the town to move his things!

This kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is hard to come by. Being able to go into the town and get something for free without any danger, it is impossible not to be tempted.

Unfortunately, the two masters came back.

As soon as Ning Ji and Si He came back, they asked Wei Xiaohu to pack up and prepare to leave.

Wei Xiaohu looked at the bustling town entrance in the distance and sighed reluctantly. He had no chance to enter the town.

Helplessly, he could only pack up his things and pull the carriage out.

At this time, there was some chaos in the village. Some villagers hid the things they brought out from the town in the cellar, and some even began to pack their bags vigilantly, taking some things out of the village and hiding them somewhere else.

After all, everyone in the village has benefited greatly from this, and after tomorrow, they might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Many people understand that they should not put all their eggs in one basket. They hide them in several places so that even if there is an accident, they will not suffer heavy losses.

Given the change in attitude of the officers just now, the villagers were also afraid of further trouble. If one day they found a reason to force them to hand over everything, then it would be over.

Just as Ning Ji and Si He were leaving the village in a carriage, some people took the official road to a nearby small town to store some of their belongings. Some Taoists along the way also left early.

At this moment, the official road was very busy. Some people were leaving, and some people from nearby villages heard the news and hurried here, hoping to get some benefits. Some passers-by also joined the scavenging team.

More and more people are flocking to this small town, the pace is hurried and the town is bustling.

However, just after these people poured into the town, hundreds of officials came on horseback and blocked the town. For a while, the scene was very chaotic and tense.

Ning Ji and Si He left at the right time and avoided trouble.

The carriage traveled westward and arrived at a smaller city an hour later.

After Ning Ji found an inn to stay in, he first dealt with the things he brought out of the town, exchanging them for banknotes or gold, which were more convenient to carry. He also had to buy some things to exorcise evil spirits to suppress the evil spirit of the Yin-Gathering Stone.

Si He stayed in the inn and washed up.

My nerves, which had been tense for the past two days, finally relaxed.

She sat in the bathtub, thinking about what happened in the town, and still found it very exciting.

Those ghosts and evil spirits are scary, but what is even scarier is the Yin-gathering stone. Just this one stone makes the whole town full of Yin energy and full of evil spirits.

So she was quite worried about Ning Ji's statement that he wanted to research this thing.

After she took a bath for a while and just put on her clothes, she heard a noise at the door. It was Ning Ji who came back.

She walked out from behind the screen, her hair still wet. She held a cloth in her hand, wiping her hair. Her cheeks were slightly pink and moist.

Ning Ji put down what he was holding and walked over, "I'll help you wipe it."

"it is good."
