Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 157 Funeral Procession

The inn looked quite normal, but in some less conspicuous places, some evil-repelling items were discreetly placed.

Si He's doubts grew even deeper.

After they entered the guest room and the waiter left, she whispered to Ning Ji, "Husband, did you choose to stay at this inn because of the talisman paper under the plaque?"

"I guess so." He put the bag away, looked at Si He, and said, "Since we are destined to meet again, we can see what is going on."

Si He nodded, walked over to the table and sat down, resting her head on one hand. She thought about it for a moment. Several months had passed since the Huang family was exterminated. She was a little surprised. Could it be that Madam Huang had really escaped? And this inn was under Madam Huang's name?

Also, what about those exorcism arrangements in this inn? Did something happen in the past? Or are they just a precaution?

Ning Ji brought the small bag of dry food to the table, stroked her head, and said, "Have a simple meal tonight. When we get to a bigger city tomorrow, I'll take you out for some delicious food."

"Okay." She responded with a smile.

After the two of them finished eating, the waiter brought over hot water.

The waiter looked quite honest, and this inn was normal except for some extra decorations to ward off evil spirits.

Si He and Ning Ji went to wash up one after another, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

The night in early summer was not too hot, but rather cool. Si He sat by the window and saw from afar on the official road outside that there were pedestrians hurrying on their way here to stay the night, adding some excitement to the quiet night.

The bandit problem here is not as serious as in the Great Yan Kingdom. At least I didn’t encounter any problems along the way today.

Peace and tranquility are naturally the best.

When Ning Ji came out after washing up, she still asked curiously, "Husband, is there anything unusual around here?"

The talisman on her body did not react, but she knew that he was very intuitive about these "things", so she asked him about the situation.

"No." He really didn't notice anything unusual around him.

Si He was relieved.

At this time, there was some faint movement outside. The night wind blew, and the air was filled with the faint smell of incense.

Si He turned her head and looked out the window, from where she could see the situation on the official road outside the inn.

On the official road at the entrance of the town, a funeral procession slowly emerged from the town.

Holding funerals at night is a traditional custom here. People here believe that holding funerals at night helps the soul to rest and be liberated.

The people in the funeral procession all wore plain clothes and white cloth on their heads. Some of them walked in front with lanterns to lead the way, some of them scattered paper money as they walked, and some of them held incense and candles carefully to prevent them from being blown out by the night wind.

A heavy coffin was carried by eight pallbearers with great effort, which shows how heavy the coffin was.

The exterior of the coffin was jet black and shiny, and it was covered with a piece of pure white silk cloth. Something was pressing down the middle of the silk cloth, and when the night wind blew, the hanging white cloth fluttered in the wind, rising and falling.

Every time the white cloth fluttered, it seemed to be accompanied by a chilling air that made people shudder.

Some people in the funeral procession were crying quietly as they walked, adding an indescribable sense of horror to the dark night with paper money floating in the sky.

A funeral is a solemn and dignified event, but at this time of night, it feels quite creepy to outsiders.

When the funeral procession passed by the road in front of the inn, the people in the surrounding inns fell silent and watched the procession quietly.

Si He frowned slightly and looked at it carefully, because at this moment, her talisman... moved.

This is obviously wrong!

When she was in Moro City before, she had encountered some funeral processions, but those were daytime funerals, not night funerals like this one, but her talisman was not moved.

The reason why the talisman was triggered could not be because of the heavy yin energy at night, but because there was something abnormal about the funeral procession!

It seems that the person in this coffin died of an unusual cause or suffered an abnormality after death.

Behind the funeral procession, there was a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, holding magical instruments and talismans, walking slowly with the procession.

It is normal to have Taoist priests in ordinary funeral processions, but they usually stand in the front or middle of the procession, leading the procession forward and presiding over specific ritual links. However, the Taoist priests in this funeral procession are different from usual ones.

The Taoist's behavior seems to be driving away rather than leading.

Many people who were watching the funeral procession were confused by this, and some who noticed something were curious about the situation of the deceased.

As the funeral procession moved further away, the talisman hanging around Si He's waist slowly stopped shaking.

"Husband, do you think this deceased person has turned into a zombie?" she asked Ning Ji curiously.

"Maybe." After all, you can't tell anything from a distance, but based on the current situation, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

But he didn't care about this matter, and there was a Taoist priest in the funeral procession who was handling the matter.

"It's time to take the medicine." He took out a small medicine bottle containing more than ten small pills. Now he has improved the prescription and the way of taking the medicine. He has made the medicine into pills which are more convenient to carry and does not need to be decocted every day.

He poured out a small pill and she took it.

Her lips were red and tender, and when his fingertips touched them, her eyes couldn't help but become a little darker. After feeding her the medicine, he silently withdrew his hand and put the bottle away.

Si He was very satisfied that she didn't have to drink the bitter medicine.

Moreover, this pill was added with a small amount of spiritual essence, just a tiny amount, which also cleared away Lingqing's corpse qi. After she took it, the effect was very good. One pill could last for three days, and she no longer needed to rely on sexual intercourse to maintain it.

However, taking medicine for a long time is not a solution, so this time, in addition to finding a suitable "medicine man" to try the diluted spiritual essence, he also wants to see if he can find some more spiritual essence beads, because there are not many spiritual essence beads left in the bottle.

He closed the window and the room instantly became much quieter. The candlelight on the table was weak and the light was dim.

Si He raised her head and looked at Ning Ji, wanting to continue discussing the funeral procession with him, but after he closed the window, he moved closer to her, lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips.

Originally, he just wanted to give her a quick kiss like he usually did. Since she took the pill, they had not had sex for more than half a month because he wanted to see the effect of the medicine.

So he has been very restrained for more than half a month.

But now, as we kiss, things have changed.

Si He was pushed against the wall by him. His kiss was gentle and domineering, making her almost drown in it.

His breath was hot, and the temperature of his palms was also very hot.

After a long time, Ning Ji let go of her lips, hugged her tightly, and slowly calmed down.
