Chapter 233: Sleepless Nights
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is destined to be a sleepless night.
Late at night, the cold wind from somewhere came from blew the streets in Zetianfu, causing a layer of tiny frost.
Many people in the city felt cold, so they naturally couldn't play, so they had to go home.
After returning home, they were all discussing this strange thing because they had never encountered such a thing in previous years.
This Mid-Autumn Festival is likely to leave a deep impression on the people in the city and become the most special Mid-Autumn Festival in their lives.
And from the perspective they could not see, there were dense terrifying and weird things flying past their roofs, all moving in one direction.
That direction is the Nie Mansion.
At this time, outside Nie Mansion, Li Si was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
He could not leave the Nie family at this time. With the City God's familiarity with the Nie family, it is naturally impossible for him to know who the groom of the Nie family was this time.
Especially when he was Jie Yuan of this provincial examination, he would definitely leave a deep impression on the City God.
If he disappeared directly, it would probably be related to the Nie family's destruction in the heart of the City God, and that would be seeking death.
As for escaping with a high-level escape talisman and then hiding his name, it is also a method. After all, the City God may not be able to know whether he is dead or not.
But the problem is that Li Si knows too little about the City God, and he doesn't know whether it is useful to hide his identity after he escapes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to take Nie Da out for a test.
The current way to break the deadlock is to face the city god head-on, so that there is a glimmer of hope.
Although this matter seems dangerous, it is also the safest one. After all, he is just a mortal, who would hook the deaths of so many intermediate ghosts with a mortal?
However, Li Si was still frightened by his own thoughts.
Because the City God is not an ordinary ghost, according to Nie Da's oral statement, the City God's strength is unfathomable, at least it is a high-level ghost, or even stronger.
He had no means to deal with advanced ghosts at this time. If he did this, he would be very likely to die without life.
But he had no choice because this was the best way, let alone, he had long wanted to see the City God, and it would be even better if he could touch it.
Now, he is going to fall asleep before the city god comes.
A coma is very suitable for an ordinary person's reaction to a ghost. If he is awake, it means that he knows something.
After asking, too much talk will lead to mistakes, so it is better to know nothing.
But now under such intense pressure, Li Si is not sleepy at all.
But he knew he had to fall asleep, so he took a deep breath, slowly cleared the messy thoughts in his mind, and calmed down.
Fortunately, he had already practiced Xuangui Lu to a very deep level at this time, and his control over his own thinking was much stronger than before. Not long after, he fell asleep on the ruins of Nie Mansion.
At this time, a talisman was constantly flashing in Li Si's mustard space.
That was the disaster avoidance talisman that Li Si used to prevent it.
With this talisman here, he has a little more vitality.
That is, not long after Li Si fell asleep, the cold wind blew, and an old Taoist priest suddenly appeared on the ruins of Nie Mansion.
"Okay, okay, easy to plot." Seeing the scene in front of him, the old Taoist priest looked a little ugly. In his eyes, he could tell that the ruins in front of him were a place for treasure refining.
The golden light before was a strange phenomenon of the birth of the treasure.
But at this time, the Nie family ruins were empty, with no ghosts present. This means that the initiator and ghosts disappeared.
Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest's face turned gloomy.
Then, he glanced at Li Si who was lying on the ground and frowned slightly. He didn't expect that this time the Nie family would be destroyed and this person was not dead.
But he didn't have any hope for what Li Si knew. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and he could know something.
He never thought that a mortal was the initiator of the Nie family's destruction.
This kind of thing is ridiculous than killing a tiger by a sheep.
Not long after, a gust of cold wind blew, filling the forest with a scent of coldness.
Figures appeared in the forest, some of which looked blue, while others did not look very human.
"Is there a Nie Mansion Registration?" The old Taoist priest glanced at them and asked faintly.
"I have reported to the City God, there are a total of 107 demons and ghosts in the wedding banquet of Nie Mansion. This is the list." A man dressed in a minor official walked to the old Taoist priest and handed a booklet to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest took the booklet, opened it and glanced, nodded, then turned to look behind everyone, and said, "Can you check it?"
Behind everyone, there was a tall giant, several feet tall, wearing animal skin, and the word "night patrol" was on his waist.
The giant nodded when he heard the old Taoist priest's words and said in a muffled voice: "Yes."
Then, he strode towards the ruins of Nie Mansion, and many evil spirits along the way avoided him, as if he had something terrifying on his body, as if he was afraid that he would be caught.
After walking to the center of Nie Mansion, the giant stopped and then took a deep breath.
As he inhaled, a strange suction force appeared with him as the center, and the evil spirits nearby retreated in horror, fearing that they would be sucked in by the suction force.
At this time, Li Si was still sleeping soundly and was not affected at all.
It seems that this suction force only acts on evil spirits.
Not long after, the giant stopped inhaling and looked at the old Taoist priest.
"How?" the old Taoist priest asked lightly.
He stood near the giant from beginning to end, and what happened just now had no effect on him.
Hearing his words, the giant showed a hesitation on his face and hesitated: "There are only seventeen monsters here, and there is no other aura."
When the old Taoist priest heard this, his face turned a little dark.
There will be aura where evil spirits pass by, but now the information of ninety people has disappeared, which is obviously abnormal.
And this incident also reminded him of what happened not long ago.
The Nie Family Ghost Market also has no soul power and breath, and the same is true for the master's soul being taken away.
Obviously, the Nie family's destruction was done by the same person as before.
Thinking of this, he felt anger burning in his heart, and this man didn't take him seriously!
"Catch them for me." The old Taoist priest looked at the giant and said word by word.
The giant's face looked a little bad. He was not a subordinate of the City God, so he was naturally extremely uncomfortable to be ordered like this.
Just thinking of the old Taoist priest's methods, he nodded and disappeared from the spot.
After the giant disappeared, the old Taoist priest stood there motionless, but a powerful force made the nearby monsters and ghosts tremble, as if a disaster was about to come.
"Well..." A slight sound came, and it seemed extremely harsh in this quiet forest.
When many ghosts heard this sound, they turned to look, but saw a man in a wedding dress yawning, getting up and rubbing his sleepy eyes.
At this time, Li Si had woken up because he was thrust in his sleep by a heavy power, as if he was pressed against a ghost again, which immediately stimulated him to wake up.
After waking up, he saw that the Nie Mansion still looked like a ruin, and there was no one except himself.
But he knew that the Chenghuang and the others had arrived at this time, and the cold and cold breath that made people feel cold in their hearts proved it.
