After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 316: Evil Taoist

Lu Ming obediently came to Xu Yingying's side and looked around vigilantly.

Xu Yingying counted with her fingers and felt something was wrong. She turned to look at Lu Ming behind her and asked, "Don't you think there's something strange here?"

Lu Ming looked around and nodded in agreement, "It's true that there's something strange here."

The next second, a group of wandering ghosts appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Xu Yingying, Li Siqi, and Lu Ming, the two people and one ghost.

Looking at the ghosts approaching her with bared fangs and claws, Xu Yingying helplessly gave a bitter smile.

Because they set out in such a hurry, Xu Yingying did not bring any items to exorcise ghosts.

Seeing that the situation was so critical, Xu Yingying had no choice but to take out the knife she carried with her and cut her palm.

In an instant, the wandering ghosts who smelled the blood were so frightened that they took a few steps back.

Relying on their own blood, Xu Yingying led Lu Ming and Li Siqi to break through the siege and leave the circle of ghosts.

However, when Xu Yingying was about to leave, she turned back and unexpectedly found a sparkling jade pendant hanging around the waist of a wild ghost.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that this must be the jade pendant that Lu Ming wanted to find.

Xu Yingying subconsciously wanted to go back and get the jade pendant back, but when she turned around, she saw the ghosts chasing her.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying hesitated for a moment and decided to forget it, so she turned around and left with Li Siqi and Lu Ming.

It is not easy to get this jade pendant. We need to take a long-term view and there is no need to rush.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying decisively left with Li Siqi and the others.

However, Xu Yingying has always kept this matter in mind.

A few days later.

After some thought, Xu Yingying decided to go to the suburbs to observe and see if she could find any useful clues.

She found Li Siqi and shared her idea with him.

"Si Qi, I plan to go to the suburbs tonight when the yin energy is the heaviest, because I recently found a clue that a large number of wild ghosts appear in the suburbs every night, but these lonely ghosts will not enter the county and are blocked outside the county without exception. I suspect that there are other people behind this, so I want to go and see for myself."

Li Siqi hesitated after hearing this. It was not that he didn't want to go, but he didn't want Xu Yingying, who was pregnant, to be so busy.

After thinking about it, Li Siqi tried to find out: "Why don't we ask the county magistrate to find out what's going on first? If we can't find out anything, we can go again!"

After hearing this, Xu Yingying thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement: "That's fine."

Xu Yingying and Li Siqi found the county magistrate Huang Shaohua and inquired about the situation.

"May I ask, Your Excellency the County Magistrate, is there anything unusual in the county recently? Especially in the suburbs." Xu Yingying took the initiative to ask Huang Shaohua.

Huang Shaohua thought about it carefully, then shook his head firmly, "Madam, no, everything is normal in the suburbs."

Xu Yingying was a little disappointed when she didn't get the answer she wanted, "Okay! Sorry for bothering you, sir."

After saying that, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi said goodbye to Huang Shaohua.

"What are we going to do next? Shall we go to the suburbs?" Li Siqi asked tentatively.

Xu Yingying nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do. We can only go to the suburbs to have a look. It just so happens that you have almost learned some spells related to the system ghosts. Let's go back and prepare some talismans before going to the suburbs!"

"Okay." Seeing that there was no other way, Li Siqi simply agreed.

Just like that, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying, holding the talisman paper, broke into the suburbs again alone.

This time, there were many more wild ghosts in the suburbs than the last time Xu Yingying and Li Siqi came to check. Basically, they were everywhere.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi had no choice but to move among these ghosts with talismans in their hands. If any ghost wanted to approach, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi would raise the talismans in their hands without hesitation and give the other party a hard blow.

I saw a male ghost who liked navy blue clothes looking at Xu Yingying and shedding tears of excitement. He took advantage of Xu Yingying's inattention and pounced on her from behind without hesitation.

Xu Yingying was only concerned with dealing with the ghost in front of her at the time and didn't notice the danger behind her at all.

This scene was seen by Li Siqi. Fortunately, Li Siqi was quick-eyed and quick-handed and took out a piece of talisman paper and hit the green-clothed male ghost hard, so the green-clothed male ghost failed.

The green-clothed male ghost was severely injured by Li Siqi's spell and fell to the ground. His body gradually faded away, and he was rolling back and forth on the ground groaning in pain.

"Ouch, my body hurts!"

"My arms, my legs."

Xu Yingying immediately discovered the male ghost who wanted to launch a sneak attack.

Xu Yingying, realizing that she had almost been tricked, immediately showed a frightened expression.

Seeing this, Li Siqi hurriedly comforted her, "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid, let's go!"

Li Siqi's words calmed Xu Yingying down as if she had taken a reassurance pill.

"Okay." Xu Yingying nodded.

Then, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying supported each other and walked forward.

After walking for a while, and with the help of Lu Ming, the two people and one ghost finally found a dilapidated temple not far away.

And this is exactly where the wild ghosts come from, and it is also the source of why so many wild ghosts suddenly appear in the wild areas of counties and prefectures.

Looking at the wandering ghosts that kept emerging from the temple, Xu Yingying and Li Siqi opened their mouths in surprise. At the same time, they felt that things were not that simple and instantly became alert.

"Let's go inside the temple and take a look!" Li Siqi suggested.

"Okay." Xu Yingying nodded. If she wanted to know the truth of this matter, she had to sneak into the temple and find out.

Li Siqi took Xu Yingying and Lu Ming and entered through the dilapidated gate in the south of the temple.

As soon as Li Siqi entered, he saw several poisoned arrows flying towards him. Fortunately, Li Siqi was a martial artist and his reaction was very fast. He immediately dodged to the side and avoided the attack.

"Boom-"

Hearing the sound, Li Siqi looked at the arrow set on the door nearby. It pierced through the wooden door fiercely, which was enough to show how much effort the other party had put in designing this hidden weapon.

Li Siqi continued to move forward with Xu Yingying and Lu Ming. The following traps and hidden weapons were no problem for Li Siqi, who was experienced in many battles.

Soon, they safely avoided all the traps in the temple.

At the end, Li Siqi saw a dilapidated small wooden door in the temple, and there seemed to be someone inside.

Seeing this, Li Siqi raised his foot without hesitation and kicked the door open.
