Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

…

"Who's there!"

A loud shout broke the tranquility of the night.

A handsome young man holding a dagger approached cautiously, his eyes flashing, obviously on high alert.

"My surname is Li and my name is Shunxi. You two, are you also out to look for the missing people?"

"Missing person?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

Yu Liang also felt the seriousness of the situation and asked, "Excuse me, where is this place?"

"Huh? You are here, but you don't know where this is?" Li Shunxi replied, "This is Songjiazhuang!"

Songjiazhuang!

When Yu Liang heard this name, his sense of crisis became even greater.

This place is quite dangerous. There are not only corpses that are difficult to deal with, but also blood corpses formed by strange forces. Once infected by them, death is certain.

Lu Sheng looked at Li Shunxi and said, "My two brothers went to the toilet, but they didn't come back for a long time. I was worried, so I came out to look for them."

Li Shunxi's expression changed slightly: "So, there are two more missing people."

"What do you mean?" Lu Sheng took a few steps forward and looked at the open hut in the corner that exuded a foul smell. There was no one in the small space.

Lu Sheng's expression suddenly changed.

"You mean, those women and guards who lived in before..."

"No one is left, all are missing." Li Shunxi whispered: "So many people disappeared at the same time, maybe they were trapped somewhere."

"Let's look for it together. This Zhuangzi is so big, maybe we can find some clues."

Lu Sheng nodded in agreement and decided to act together.

Yu Liang also followed the two of them, because he knew that in this weird place, it was the safest to follow the big muscle tyrant.

Lu Sheng didn't say much about Yu Liang's following. Although they had only had a brief exchange of moves before, he already had a certain understanding of Yu Liang's strength.

After searching around, the three of them came to a cellar.

Li Shunxi grabbed the ring of the cellar's stone slab and lifted it hard.

A putrid smell rushed towards him.

After the stench dissipated a little, they looked into the cellar.

Lu Sheng took out the flint and polished it several times. With the splash of yellow sparks, they saw several figures lying on their backs in the cellar through the firelight.

"It's really here!" Li Shunxi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly jumped down from the cellar.

"You two, please help me guard the entrance."

"OK."

In the cellar, Li Shunxi quickly lifted people up one by one with his hands.

Yu Liang and Lu Sheng caught it from above and placed it on the kitchen floor.

Soon, they rescued all five people who were unconscious in the cellar.

"Still breathing."

Li Shunxi sniffed the breath of one of the women, and then took out something like a black piece of paper.

He bit his index finger and there was blood on it.

Yu Liang stared at his every move.

I saw Li Shunxi pressing the piece of paper on the forehead of each unconscious person one by one.

After a while, the person lying on the ground began to slowly wake up.

"Where am I?"

"Qingqing, are you okay?"

"Miss! Are you not injured?"

One of them walked up to Lu Sheng with a face full of shame, lowered his head and said, "Young Master!"

"As long as everything is fine, where is Ning San?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.

The man lowered his head, not daring to look into Lu Sheng's eyes.

Lu Sheng's face was gloomy: "Let's go back first."

"I don't think it's appropriate for us to separate now." Li Shunxi suggested, "The situation is unclear now, and one more person will give us more strength."

at this time.

Gong Ruqing, who was rescued, said gratefully.

"Thank you to the three of you for saving us. I'm Gong Ruqing. This is my sister Gong Rumeng. If it hadn't been for the three of us who saved us this time, we would have been in trouble."

Her sister Gong Rumeng also pleaded: "We still have companions trapped here. Can you please help us again and find the remaining companions?"

"We know this request is a bit excessive, but as reward, we are willing to pay one hundred taels of gold in silver notes."

"oh?"

Li Shunxi raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Lu Sheng and Yu Liang.

"Boy, what do you think? Do you want to help?"

Lu Sheng nodded. He was originally here to investigate the details of this Zhuangzi, but now one of his men was missing, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Naturally, he won't leave easily.

Seeing Lu Sheng nodding, Yu Liang also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I agree."

Li Shunxi said with a smile: "Let's go back and check the situation when they were arrested. Maybe we can find some clues."

But after searching for a while, no one was found.

Under the dead tree in the center of the courtyard.

Lu Sheng looked around and suddenly said, "Where is that girl Gong Rumeng?"

Hearing this, Gong Ruqing looked shocked: "Isn't my sister right behind me?"

Because she felt someone following her along the way, and she had just said a few words to her sister.

"Are you sure?" Lu Sheng looked at her straightly.

Everyone also looked behind Gong Ruqing. She saw a woman in a white dress standing quietly behind her, motionless, her hands hanging down, her face covered by Gong Ruqing's hair.

"But behind me is clearly..."

Gong Ruqing suddenly turned pale, and she saw the frightened eyes of everyone looking behind her.

She realized that if her sister Gong Rumeng was not behind her, then who was this woman in the white dress who had been following her?

The hair on Gong Ruqing's whole body stood up, and goosebumps covered his body from head to toe. Her body trembled and she slowly turned around.

"Don't turn around!"

Li Shunxi suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Gong Ruqing's shoulders tightly and pulled her towards him.

At the same time, a little silver light flew out of his hand, which seemed to be a dart, and it hit the woman in the white dress quickly.

However, at this moment, the woman in the white dress suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The silver light fell on the ground and spun around a few times before stopping. It was a palm-sized silver top.

"This is Nian Po, please don't disperse. The danger of Nian Po is difficult to explain clearly. From now on, please don't leave within ten meters of me." Li Shunxi solemnly warned.

However, at this moment a sudden change occurred.

"Master, if I hadn't had you just now..."

Gong Ruqing suddenly pressed close to Li Shunxi, but her eyes became hollow and cold, as if controlled by some kind of force.

She held a dagger and slashed hard at Li Shunxi's chest.

Fortunately, Li Shunxi noticed it in time, but there was only a cut on his chest. Although blood continued to flow out, the wound was not fatal.

"Miss Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" Li Shunxi asked in shock.

Gong Ruqing's face showed fear and confusion, "I...I don't know what's wrong with me! Mr. Li, help me!"

Li Shunxi tried hard to resist Gong Ruqing's attack, but her skills at the moment seemed to be extremely powerful, making it difficult for him to resist.

He took a deep breath and took out a dark golden awl from his waist. The awl was engraved with complex patterns, and it was obviously not a mortal thing.

However, facing the tearful Gong Ruqing, he could not make a move.

Because he knew that this woman was just possessed by an evil thing. If he took action now, wouldn't it be equivalent to killing an innocent life with his own hands?

"Brother Lu, come and help me!" Li Shunxi shouted loudly.

Lu Sheng walked over with a straight knife in hand and a normal expression.

He glanced at Li Shunxi who was rolling around on the ground and Gong Ruqing who looked crazy.

"help me!"

Gong Ruqing cried to Lu Sheng for help. Her clothes were disheveled and her face was stained with tears. She looked pitiful.

Li Shunxi struggled to stand up, "Hurry and hold her down for me, I have a way to restore her consciousness!"

He was about to recite the incantation, "Nine times the heart and soul return to An, Tianning Huang Temple..."

However, before the spell was finished, Lu Sheng's sword light had already lit up.

I saw a bright sword light flowing out like a clear spring, drawing a bright arc in the darkness.

There was a soft pop, and Gong Ruqing's body was split into two, with blood splattering everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Yu Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

He is worthy of being the big-muscled tyrant who killed his sister to prove his truth!

Kill the girl without even blinking an eye!
