Chapter 198 Standing aside and watching
Chapter 198 Standing aside and watching
"Bell~~"
At this time, the strange bell sounded again, which seemed to be summoning souls. The ghosts and evil spirits nearby came from all directions again, and the wind was cold.
Now, the shop opposite has been breached. When those people heard the strange bell sound, they immediately evacuated from the shop and ran desperately to the jewelry shop opposite.
"Open the door! Quick!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Help me quick! You bastards!"
"Zhao Laoxie! Open the door!"
……
Some people who had escaped at the risk of their lives were dealing with the ghosts around them while slamming against the door. They were regretting it now. They should have come here earlier. After all, there were still many people here. If they had hidden here, these damn bastards would not have been able to stand by and watch even if they wanted to.
When the bell rang, Ning Ji closed the window. The window was a little distance away from the opposite gate, so those who escaped ran towards the nearest gate.
After a while, the door was shaking from being hit. Helplessly, the people inside could only open the door and let some of the people at the door in. Moreover, since the people had already run to the door, it was not easy for them to just stand by and watch them die.
As soon as the door opened, people at the door rushed in quickly. At the same time, a cold wind blew into the lobby, making it bone-chilled.
The Taoist priest who was guarding in the front hurriedly used spiritual tools and talismans to deal with the ghosts and evil spirits that were about to rush in.
"what!!!"
Several shrill ghost cries were heard, and the Taoist priest at the door quickly closed the door to block the cold wind blowing in.
Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of violent banging on the door and ghostly screams.
There are too many ghosts outside right now!
Those who did not escape were attacked by ghosts one after another, screaming in pain. Soon, they were silent, leaving only various ghost screams.
Everyone outside is dead!
After a long time, the ghosts outside the door stopped banging on the door and attacking. The funeral music sounded again on the street, and the funeral procession left again.
The people in the shop were able to take a break and their tense nerves relaxed a little.
It feels so exciting to survive the disaster, especially for those people who escaped from the other side.
They collapsed on the ground, some of them gasping for breath exhaustedly, and some of them even had trembling hands, still unable to recover.
The mournful music and crying sounds outside the street gradually faded away. After a while, there was silence with only the slight sound of the wind, as if what happened before was just a nightmare.
After a while, several Taoists who had recovered their strength angrily questioned Zhao Laoxie and others.
"Zhao Laoxie, we had already agreed that we would deal with danger together. Just now, so many ghosts attacked us, but you just hid in this shop and watched!"
"You guys really have ulterior motives. We just shouted outside the door for so long, but you remained indifferent. If we hadn't knocked on the door, you probably wouldn't have opened it!"
"Hmph~ What good would it do you if we died? Are you just going to watch helplessly?"
"We stood by and watched? If we had no conscience, we wouldn't have let you in! Don't you know how dangerous it was outside just now? How could we save you? Would we just follow you and die?"
"That's right, don't be ungrateful. If you're talking about standing by and watching, then you're the ones who should be blamed. Didn't you stop Lu Jing and the others from entering the house, which led to their deaths? How dare you say that now!"
"you!"
……
The group of people immediately started arguing, their anger surging, which somewhat dissipated the panic in their heartbeats.
Zhao Laoxie said nothing from beginning to end, disdainful of arguing with these people.
Everyone has their shortcomings, so no one should blame anyone else. When it comes to their own lives, everyone is selfish.
The room was pitch black. They argued for a while and then stopped talking. The atmosphere was tense.
The others just listened quietly, huddled together cautiously.
"Those ghosts...will they come back soon?"
Suddenly, someone asked this question, and everyone became even more silent, with ugly expressions on their faces.
The ghost that was attending the funeral was very evil. Judging from the previous situation, it will definitely come again soon. By then, who knows how long this place can last.
Many people thought so, and they took out some defensive talismans and pasted them on the doors and windows to add a sense of security.
However, thinking about it, a lot of talisman paper had been posted in the shop before, but they were still broken by those ghosts and evil spirits. Those ghosts were extraordinary, and some were not even afraid of talisman paper, so many people lost their lives when fighting with those ghosts!
Moreover, both times they were only attacked by the funeral ghosts and nearby evil spirits, but no one could say whether there were more powerful ghosts in the coffin. If there were more powerful ghosts and evil spirits next time, their situation would be even worse.
A group of people were worried, and many of them regretted coming here again.
Zhao Laoxie turned around and looked at the reception room not far away that was letting in some light. After thinking for a moment, he walked over.
"Brother Ding, are you all okay?"
When Zhao Laoxie's voice sounded, many people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a faint light coming through the curtain. Because they were too panicked before, they didn't notice that there was a candle lit in the reception room.
As soon as Zhao Laoxie finished speaking, he lifted the curtain, letting in a faint light, and the hall became a little brighter.
Ning Ji and Si He turned around and saw him lifting the curtain with one hand and standing in front of the door, but he didn't step in.
Zhao Laoxie had also noticed the movement here just now and knew that the two were fine, but he was still a little surprised to see that they still looked calm.
"It seems that Brother Ding is really capable." Zhao Laoxie glanced at the two of them, and then looked at the window, and saw two talismans pasted there, one was a red rune painted with cinnabar, and the other was a golden rune. The golden rune was very special.
"What's the matter?" Ning Ji asked.
At this moment, everyone in the lobby behind Zhao Laoxie looked over with different expressions.
However, Zhao Laoxie's gaze finally fell on the candlestick on the table, and he said seriously, "Brother Ding, aren't you afraid of attracting ghosts from outside by lighting candles?"
Ning Ji asked, "If we don't light them, they won't attack?"
There are so many people here, the atmosphere is very lively, and the ghosts and evil spirits outside are also extraordinary. Even if you don't light the candles at the beginning, you will still be attacked by those "things".
Zhao Lao Xie sighed softly, while some of the Taoists in the hall had mixed feelings. Indeed, they had also thought of this. There were too many people here. If there were only a few people, it would be fine, but a large group of people, with that strong vitality, would attract ghosts and evil spirits more than candlelight.
Thinking of this, they simply lit a candle to illuminate the room a little, which would make it easier for them to deal with the ghosts outside later.
"Brother Ding, do you have any plans to deal with this? Those ghosts outside are probably just the beginning. The 'thing' in that coffin is probably even more troublesome."
