Chapter 226 Si Rong's Doubts
Chapter 226 Si Rong's Doubts
After he finished speaking, Si He told him what had happened in the inn before.
Although Ning Ji had some guesses just now, his expression turned colder after hearing what she said. But in the end, he didn't say anything and just said, "Let's leave the city first."
"Okay." She really didn't want to stay in this city now.
The luggage had already been packed. Ning Ji took the things and took her hand and walked downstairs.
The waiter quickly checked them out and quickly brought their carriage over. Now these two people were like plague gods in the waiter's eyes, and he just wanted to send them away quickly.
Ning Ji drove out of the inn, and the people who were following him nearby hurried out and followed the carriage from a distance.
The carriage was moving slowly on the street. When it turned at the intersection, Ning Ji glanced at the carriage following behind him, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger.
……
Outside the city, several guards from the Zhao family brought the unconscious Si Rong to the farm. Because these things were too weird, they had to be taken outside the city to ask their master's opinion and let the Taoist priests in the farm see what was going on.
Si Rong clearly had talismans and magic weapons on her body to ward off evil spirits, but they had no effect and she was still possessed by an evil spirit, which forced them to be cautious.
Their original plan was to transfer Ning Ji away, then find a way to abduct Si He, and then force Ning Ji to enter the villa to deal with the things inside, so that they could implement the subsequent plan.
But this plan went wrong with Si He. It seems that they underestimated her.
If they didn't want to find out what happened, they wouldn't care about Si Rong's life or death.
However, just as they brought the person back to the farm and got off the carriage, the unconscious Si Rong suddenly woke up again, but she screamed in pain, her face was hideous and she was in extreme pain.
The guard who was holding her was horrified, thinking that there was an evil spirit in her body causing trouble. He was so scared that he threw her to the ground. Everyone around him stared at her warily.
The next moment, Si Rong spat out a mouthful of black blood, shocking everyone around him and making them open their eyes wide.
This is poison!
"Ah... Ugh... Ugh..."
Si Rong screamed in pain and spit out black blood while lying on the ground. Her body was trembling slightly, and her withered little face was twisted and hideous in pain.
Mouthful of black blood flowed out of her mouth and fell to the ground, forming a sticky mass. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and a disgusting stench, which was also rich in the stench of decay.
At this moment, her complexion and skin turned bluish-gray, foreshadowing the approach of death.
When Zhao Laoxie and others came over, they saw her lying on the ground with her head down, her eyes wide open, and she was completely dead!
"What's going on?" Zhao Laoxie looked gloomy when he saw this situation.
The two Taoists who followed were also shocked when they saw the black blood, "Is this corpse poison?"
Corpse poison?
When the others heard this, they were horrified.
The guards quickly told the story of what had happened in the city.
The Taoist priest who was invited is now investigating the situation near the villa. Now that everyone in the farm is their own people, the guards are not so reserved in their words.
Zhao Laoxie and the others looked even uglier when they heard this, but they still asked two experienced Taoists to check the symptoms of the corpse first.
These two Taoists had just arrived from other cities this morning. They were both retainers of the Zhao family. One was called Taoist Jueshan and the other was called Taoist Gumu.
After carefully examining the body, they frowned.
"She showed no signs of being possessed."
This conclusion surprised the guards who returned from the city.
"That's impossible! When she attacked us, her eyes were hollow and her face was ferocious. If she wasn't possessed, then she couldn't be crazy, could she?"
"I also think this slave girl was possessed by an evil spirit. She was completely irrational at the time and attacked us with a clear purpose the moment she saw us. But before entering the inn, she didn't show any abnormalities. It's impossible for a person to go crazy in such a short time."
After hearing what the two guards said, Taoist Jueshan and Taoist Gumu were a little dissatisfied.
"Are you questioning what I, an old Taoist priest, said? If I said she wasn't possessed, then she wasn't. If this slave girl had been possessed by a ghost, there would be no way there wouldn't be any trace left. You wouldn't be able to bring her out so easily."
"Humph~ Don't you even look at the talisman paper on her body? It's not damaged at all. If she was really possessed by a ghost, there's no way she wouldn't react!"
"Master Zhao, you can also ask other people to check and see if what we said is correct."
Zhao Laoxie listened to what they said, then looked at the corpse on the ground, his brows furrowed. He trusted the two Taoists' eyesight and abilities, but this matter was truly bizarre. He said, "Please investigate carefully to see what caused this slave girl to go crazy. Was she given any drugs or something like that?"
Taoist Jueshan and Taoist Gumu frowned and had to check again carefully. They were also curious about why this female slave went crazy before.
At this time, a group of Taoists outside the villa had prepared some defensive formations and were ready to wait until noon when the Yang energy was at its peak before entering.
It’s just that God is not kind today. The weather is gloomy, totally different from the bright sunshine of yesterday.
Yesterday the Yang energy was so strong that the people from the Zhao family did not escape unscathed and suffered heavy casualties. The weather is so bad today that it really makes them worried.
At this moment, the gray fog was thicker than yesterday. It had spread out to an area of dozens of meters outside the villa and was about to cover the official road not far away.
Some passers-by, seeing the foggy villa and the group of Taoists outside the villa, couldn't help but tremble with fear. Many people even took a longer detour, not daring to get close to the gray fog. Most people quickened their pace and left, but there were still a small number of people who watched from afar out of curiosity.
At this time, a tall Taoist priest, holding several small rune flags in his hands, muttered something while inserting the rune flags in some specific locations outside the villa.
Every time he planted a flag, a light, gloomy wind seemed to blow around him, but the wind soon stopped and the gray fog around him seemed to become much lighter.
When passers-by who were watching from afar saw this, they all exclaimed in amazement and stared at it intently.
After the man planted the flag, the other Taoists looked up at the sky. It was almost noon and the sun was completely blocked by clouds, with no sunlight at all.
They sighed and could only take some spiritual weapons and talisman paper and walk into the villa.
Zhao Laoxie turned his head and watched them walk into the villa from afar, his eyes narrowed and his face serious.
……
On the other side, Ning Ji drove the carriage out of the city and headed west on the official road.
The carriage was moving slowly, and a group of men on horseback were still following behind it from a distance. They were all guards of the Zhao family.
Ning Ji did not look back. He drove the carriage for a distance on the official road, then turned around and headed towards a small path on the side of the road.
