Chapter 144: All Under Control?
The old woman returned to the group, and at this moment, her complexion had also become somewhat ugly.
Under unknown influence, unable to pull Master Bai Fourteen out to hold the scene, it was equivalent to having no backup.
Merely relying on a bit of incense borrowing power, no matter how one looked at the situation, it wasn’t optimistic.
After all, in the old woman’s eyes, there were only five people on site in total, including two apprentices, clearly not to be relied upon.
She turned her head to look at Lu Bai: “Xiao Lu, what is your view?”
“Yeah, since Fourteenth Master said from the start that this trip is led by you.”
Shi Xiangtou subconsciously wiped the goosebumps rising on his arm: “You have to come up with an idea.”
“Anyway, their meaning is not to let us go, so might as well just stroll around the village first.”
Lu Bai’s mindset was quite steady, even speaking with a smile.
His calm performance actually calmed the two incense masters present quite a bit. “Let’s go, first check out the current situation of the villagers.”
As he spoke, he stepped toward Xiao Li’s house at the village head.
The old woman and Shi Xiangtou exchanged a glance with each other, raised no objections, and followed one after the other behind Lu Bai.
The remaining two death fighters, even if they had other ideas, facing such a situation, could only grit their teeth and follow.
No matter what, staying with the incense masters was safer than wandering blindly alone.
Passing through the wooden fence around the house, they arrived in front of the house door.
The house door was ajar, and could be pushed open with a gentle push.
But as soon as the door was pushed open, a bone-chilling yin wind blew straight at them, making it extremely uncomfortable.
There were no lights inside the house, pitch black.
This instead allowed notice of the God of Wealth Building at the base of the wall, because inside that building, ghostly fire faintly floated.
“Did it escape or…”
The old woman cautiously approached, sensing no existence of the household guardian immortal from the God of Wealth Building.
Lu Bai walked to the front of the God of Wealth Building and squatted down: “There were no omens before the incident, probably didn’t escape.”
The so-called Four Great Gates, nicely put are immortals, ugly put are just a group of animals that have become spirits.
Evil spirits and immortals are essentially the same, the difference merely orderly or chaotic.
Since not abiding by rules, whatever it does, Lu Bai wouldn’t be surprised.
“Lu Xiangtou, come out quick and look.”
Shi Xiangtou stood at the house door, his face carrying a horrified expression.
“?”
Lu Bai stood up and walked to the entrance, looking along Shi Xiangtou’s gaze.
It turned out that on the stone path in the village, at some unknown time, a large swarm of figures had suddenly appeared.
A rough count, about three or four hundred people.
So many people crowded on the not-so-wide stone path, heads bobbing, looking quite spectacular.
Moreover, some among them looked quite familiar to Lu Bai, remarkably all villagers from Liu Family Village, just somehow fewer.
The villagers had lost their previous enthusiasm, all with expressionless faces, shuffling stiffly toward the position where Lu Bai and the others were.
The villagers’ gazes were vacant, devoid of any human emotions.
Seeing this scene, even the old woman who prided herself on having seen much felt a wave of panic.
The villagers’ group gradually closed in, under the night, as if something was hidden in the crowd secretly sizing them up.
Lu Bai lightly exhaled: “Let’s go out first, don’t stay in the house.”
Normally, though many villagers, if really going all out, just Shi Xiangtou and the old woman would suffice to deal with them.
The problem was, these villagers acted so anomalously, clearly under the control of an evil spirit, making it hard to strike at these innocent villagers.
