Chapter 478: Want to make a handy treasure
"Uuuuuu——"
When the cold wind blew, a low whimpering sound like a human was heard in the air. It was not clear, but it made the atmosphere even more terrifying.
Gao You and the others suddenly tensed up and drew their swords.
As the sound of swords swishing rang out, the wind suddenly became stronger.
"Whoo~"
The next moment, all the torches around were blown out, and the vision immediately became dim. Only the faint moonlight remained, adding some brightness to prevent it from being completely dark.
"Boom boom——"
Suddenly, two balls of fire ignited in the air in front of them. It was Si He who shot two talismans at them.
The next moment, two shrill ghostly cries were heard from there.
"what--"
"Uuuuuu——"
Two terrifying ghost faces flashed in the firelight. Their ferocious appearance made everyone's heart skip a beat and their expressions became more tense.
If it was a human attack, they could still handle it, but it was a ghost...
This made them feel a little helpless. Fortunately, they all carried talismans with them, making it difficult for ordinary ghosts to get close to them. They could only defend themselves with knives.
Soon, the two flames went out, but the ghost had not disappeared yet, because the surroundings were filled with a cold and eerie aura.
At this moment, even the horses under them were restless and seemed to be about to lose control.
It was dark all around. At this moment, Si He suddenly drove her horse forward. They were startled for a moment, but when they looked over, they saw her raising her hand and waving it in the air. The next moment, the cold and gloomy aura around them disappeared inexplicably!
Such a strange method is surprising.
Except for a small number of people who had seen her exorcise evil spirits at the post station, most people did not know that she had such skills. Even Gao You and Gao Zi saw her do it in public for the first time.
However, the light was too dim just now, and they only saw her wave her hand and the ghost thing disappeared, but they didn't see clearly how she got rid of the evil.
After Si He captured the two ghosts, she put away the soul-stealing stone. Of course, she did not kill the ghosts, as that would be a waste. She had to save more of it for future use.
So the talismans she used just now were suppression talismans, not the extermination talismans she often used before.
After putting away the Soul Stone, she looked at the dark shadows in the distant forest. She saw them evacuating in a hurry and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It goes without saying who sent them, but surprisingly, the monk didn't take action.
"Master, are you okay?"
Gao You and others hurried forward to ask.
"It's okay." Si He said lightly, then retracted his gaze and continued to drive the horse forward.
No matter if it was a test or she wanted to teach him a lesson, she would remember this account and repay him double in the future!
The night wind seemed to blow away some of the murderous intent in her.
The group followed silently.
Everyone knew who was behind the attack. They thought she would be angry and want to seek revenge, or at least chase after the person who escaped from the woods, but she remained calm.
However, if you think about it, this makes sense. After all, the other party has brought a lot of talented people and a lot of guards with them. If you really fight hard, you will naturally suffer a loss.
"Master, why don't we go back first?" Gao Zi was a little worried, mainly because he was afraid that something might happen to her, which would be difficult to explain.
However, just as he finished speaking, there was suddenly some movement coming from the upper reaches of the Xihe River.
The distance was far, but the noise was quite loud, as if many people were fighting.
Si He pulled the reins and looked in the direction of the sound. After a while, flares were fired from the sky over there. It was unknown what forces were fighting. From a distance, it sounded like a battlefield over there.
The accompanying guard leader looked at the signal flare and said, "That's the Yue family's signal flare!"
Si He turned to look at him, and then heard him say, "Looking at the situation, the defense forces of Huijiang City are in conflict with the defense forces of Heiyan City again. The Yue army is asking for help. The situation is not good."
In recent years, there have been serious disputes among the states and conflicts are common. Only when the situation is critical will the Yue army launch flares.
At this time, fires were lit in the night, and the sounds of killing could be heard from afar.
Si He looked at the fire in the night sky with a complicated look. The Great Yan Kingdom was becoming more and more chaotic, with internal and external troubles. Judging from the current situation, a change of dynasty was only a matter of time.
She asked, "Who is in charge of Huijiang City?"
The leader of the guards replied, "It's the Fourth Young Master."
Yue Zidan?
Si He understood. They had previously told him to marry into the Guo family again, but he didn't know how the marriage negotiations were going.
"Madam, the situation ahead is critical. Let's leave first." They really didn't understand why she insisted on looking for the giant snake. Even Yue Hejiang and others did the same. But now the situation ahead was not good, so he had to speak out to dissuade her.
Si He thought about it and finally agreed to leave first.
Before leaving, she took another look at the river, hoping that Momo would stay in a safe place and not rush into the crowd.
She turned her horse around and left Xihe with her men.
……
On the other side, after hearing the commotion in the upper reaches of the Xihe River, Yue Hejiang and others hurriedly mounted their horses and quickly left the chaotic place without thinking about providing support.
After all, this is the territory under the jurisdiction of the fourth brother, and Yue Hejiang only brought a hundred people with him. How could he take the risk and lose his own interests to help a bastard, even if the Yue family army was in danger.
They first retreated to Huijiang City and planned to act accordingly based on the situation.
Si He and others stayed in an inn outside the city and had no intention of leaving. They were just watching the situation.
As the night passed, the situation outside seemed to become even more serious.
The passers-by or caravans were all in a hurry, with serious expressions on their faces.
Fortunately, the disputes between the states generally do not affect ordinary people, but some famous families are easily implicated.
While Si He was staying in the inn, he also asked his men to pay attention to any news and movements outside.
In addition to the disputes at the border, Si He also heard some special news from the surrounding areas.
Due to an earthquake that occurred before, there were landslides and cracks in the area around Xicheng. A huge pit appeared in the collapsed mountains. It is said that a strange and cold air emerged from the pit. There are rumors that there may be an ancient tomb there.
After hearing the news, Si He's eyes deepened slightly, and she played with the Soul Stone in her hand thoughtfully.
She was planning to have someone make a handy treasure, but this was definitely impossible in the short term because it required the Yin Gathering Stone.
The Yin-Gathering Stone contained a strong evil aura, but unfortunately it was placed in a cave in Tianshan Mountain together with the bronze tripod.
At first, she thought the thing was too cumbersome and dangerous, so she didn't bring the Yin Gathering Stone out. You know, that thing harmed the people of an entire town.
Now that she had thought of a way to make better use of this thing, she naturally had to find another opportunity to take it out.
