This is what cultivating immortals is like

Langwu County is famous for its characteristic cottages and abundant fog. After dusk, the night comes quickly.

The local people work at sunrise and rest at sundown, and their leisure activities at night are nothing more than making and spanking children. Therefore, the streets are dark and quiet, and even the faint of heart may not dare to walk at night in the thick fog with a lantern.

Except for the street where Red Sleeve Pavilion is located, the lights are bright and the laughter will not stop until midnight.

Those who come and go are also brave people. It doesn't matter if they walk at night. The two strings of red lanterns hanging high in the Hongxiu Pavilion are beacons in the dark night. If you find their guiding lights, you will find the harbor of your soul.

Squeak————

The Zhu Mansion was sealed because the case had not yet come to light, and his wife moved the maid to a nearby courtyard. The red door opened slowly, and the sound of pushing the door was particularly harsh in the quiet night.

The two maids walked timidly to meet Lu Bei and She Zhang. They felt that tonight the lady would feed the wolf with her body just to save the head of the family who was wrongfully imprisoned. Their pretty faces were filled with happiness.

In the incense room in the deep pavilion, a ray of red candlelight shines through the paper window.

When She Zhang walked into the house with a frown, Lu Bei waved his hands to drive away the two girls. He stood at the door with a knife and sensed the slightest movement around him.

"Madam, please calm down. Let's have a couple of drinks first."

"Madam, just sit there, distance brings beauty."

"How about we talk about the case...

Hearing She Zhang's embarrassed voice in the room, Lu Bei shook his head repeatedly. This was the difference between experienced and inexperienced. If he entered the room, it would be his wife's turn to beg for mercy.

Sir, please calm down. Let's have a couple of drinks first.

Sir, just sit there, distance creates beauty.

How about we talk about the case...

"Hey hey hey..."

Lu Bei laughed subconsciously, raised his hand to cover his mouth, shook his head to dispel the generous and powerful Jian'an thoughts in his mind, and held his breath to absorb the changes around him.

swiss swish ————

The sound of rustling rose up everywhere, penetrating through the dense fog that surrounded the backyard boudoir. Amidst the sounds of spitting messages that sent shivers down one's spine, thousands of venomous snakes about half a meter long swam out of the darkness.

The fine scales are red and yellow, with warning colors one after another.

"coming."

Lu Beiwang was so happy that he racked his brains. He changed his usual image of greatness and uprightness, and used all kinds of crooked tricks. He even stood at the door to look out for the wind, and finally got the clues.

Bang!

The door was violently kicked open, and She Yan walked out with a frosty face. The noise outside the house was so harsh that it was difficult not to hear it.

"What, there's something on your face." Lu Bei couldn't help laughing when he saw the big lip mark on She Zhang's cheek.

She Yan felt the powder on her fingertips and felt disgusted. She decided to tear off the human skin mask without saying a word.

Snapped!

Lu Bei moved faster and raised his hand to stop She Zhang's unwise move, telling her to endure it any longer and the culprit would show up.

“Hissssssss——”

Thousands of venomous snakes raised their heads, hissing and spewing venom. It was unknown whether it was due to their species or because they had been refined and mutated. The venom dispersed into the air and quickly mixed with the thick fog. Large streams of green poisonous mist filled the entire backyard.

[You have been poisoned. It is determined that your health remains unchanged after deducting the defense and poison immunity]

[You have been poisoned, judged to be hallucinogenic, sensory sensitivity reduced, spirit -10, endurance -10]

Something!

Endurance and health are reduced by ten points, which is directly fed back to cultivation and health, and each is reduced by one hundred points.

Cultivation: 22270/22370

Life: 21770/21870

Seeing the two data plummeting, Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and secretly thought that he couldn't bear it. If he continued to fall like this, he would become an ordinary person in half a year.

He looked around with five colors in his palm, and suppressed the two divine lights of wind and fire with his backhand.

In an instant, a strong wind passed by, blowing away the green poisonous mist. Then the fire took advantage of the wind, and the fire spread quickly. While drying up the surrounding water vapor, it burned a large number of poisonous snakes until they crackled and exploded.

"snort!"

She Yan snorted coldly and released the coercion of his own blood. As if encountering natural enemies, the snakes fled in fright. They no longer had the courage to rush towards the fire one after another.

"Come out, I've seen you."

Lu Bei locked his eyes on the apricot tree on the courtyard wall, and finally murmured: "So that's it, as expected...the case has been solved."

A black figure jumped out from outside the courtyard and stood beside the tree on the courtyard wall, staring down at She Zhang, his red eyes filled with murderous intent.

The county magistrate, Zhu Shiqiu.

He was supposed to be imprisoned in the county government office and escaped from prison. At this moment, his appearance changed drastically, his eyes were like blood shining in the night, and there were three twisted red lines extending from his eyelids to his forehead and nose. He was filled with an astonishing evil aura.

"It turns out that this is the evil deworming technique that Mr. Zhu secretly practiced. The file did not include such details..." Lu Bei cursed secretly. He had already said that Zhu Shiqi's appearance was different when he was using his power. He had already solved the case when he read the file.

"Where is my wife?"

Zhu Shiqiao asked, looking past the two people at the door and looking into the house full of worry.

Lu Bei stepped across, blocking Zhu Shiqian's sight: "Don't worry, Madam is well dressed, but it's my brothers. Master Zhu didn't kill me, right?"

"They are loyal to their duties and are thousands and hundreds of times better than you two. I just numbed them and did not kill them." Zhu Shiqi gritted his teeth.

"Don't talk nonsense, my 'brother' is at a disadvantage!"

Lu Bei smiled coldly, raised his hand and touched She Zhang's chin, taking off the human skin mask.

The black hair was hanging down, and a charming and indifferent face made Zhu Shiqi dumbfounded. He looked away blankly, and Lu Bei dismissed the dead face and switched to the appearance of the lewd thief from the beginning.

Xuanyin Division, Qingwei, codenamed Ding.

"You, you guys..."

Zhu Shiqiao pointed at the two of them tremblingly, knowing that he had been tricked, his momentum plummeted, he smiled bitterly and jumped into the courtyard, sat cross-legged and stretched out his hands, giving up resistance and said: "Catch the thief until you see the dirt. Mr. Qingwei has now found out the truth and taken the culprit." Let the officials close the case.”

"No, he is not the murderer, I am."

Madam walked out of the house quickly, with tears in her eyes she knelt beside Zhu Shiqiao, held him in her arms with both hands, turned to Lu Bei and complained sadly: "I killed them, I also practiced the Gu insects, he wanted to save me , secretly practiced the method of poisoning insects, if you don’t believe me, look at it..."

After saying that, the red glow spread out from Madam's face, and her evil look was the same as Zhu Shiqian's.

"You see, there is irrefutable evidence that I am the real culprit. He secretly found out everything and took all the blame on himself." The wife hugged her husband tightly. To prove it, she even did it herself, waving her hand to attract blockbusters. The viper hesitated.

Madam, please move away. I can't see Mr. Zhu's face.

Lu Bei nodded, and to confirm his suspicion, he asked bluntly: "Master Zhu, is this possible?"

Zhu Shizhen broke free and was shocked when he saw his wife's appearance: "Madam, what are you doing? When did you secretly practice this spell?"

"You damn person, you know it all, why are you pretending?"

"Madam, it's useless for you to take the blame for me. The evidence has already been ascertained by Huangji Sect..."

"...

She Yan looked at the two people hugging each other and crying, and her thoughts were quite complicated. In the past, when she met such a loving couple, she would have turned a blind eye and pretended that nothing had happened, but now...

She looked at Lu Bei and whispered: "The real culprit is one of them, who do you think it is?"

neither!

Lu Bei gave a silent reply, and regardless of whether he was crying or not, he started to get a pair of mandarin ducks, glanced at She Zhang, jumped up on the roof against the wind, and went straight to the street where the Red Sleeve Pavilion was located.

There is a little bit of red among all the darkness, and it is not closed in the middle of the night. It does not look like a serious entertainment place at first glance.

"Where are you going and the prisoner doesn't care?"

She Yan was floating lightly in the air, half a body behind Lu Bei. She thought that this guy had a conscience and wanted to give the couple some space to be alone, but she didn't expect that this guy ran further and further away.

[You have been poisoned, judged to be hallucinogenic, sensory sensitivity reduced, spirit -10, endurance -10]

The message prompted Lu Bei to confirm the case again and secretly thought that he was sure. He reminded the beautiful snake beside him: "How do you feel? Are you poisoned?"

"A little bit, but it's not harmful. It should be that the poisonous bug just now is special. I can remove the toxin by sitting quietly and conditioning it for a while." She Zhang said truthfully.

Then you are gone!

Lu Bei waved his hand to turn off the strong wind, and Yufeng accelerated, warning solemnly: "Don't use energy, don't care about toxins, remember, no matter what happens, don't try to detoxify, even if I tell you later that it's safe."

"Why?"

Seeing that Lu Bei was facing a formidable enemy, She Yan realized that things were far from being as simple as she imagined, and became vigilant.

"Trust me and be obedient."

"good."

She Zhang looked at Lu Bei's face, nodded heavily in agreement, and asked: "What happened to the county magistrate and his wife? Is there someone else who is the real culprit?"

"Yes, I have solved the case."

"???"

A series of question marks floated across She Zhang's forehead. Forgive her for the three thousand troubles. The silk was black and long and shiny. How could the case be solved?

"Zhu Shiqiu, who is only in the foundation-building stage, brought a few poisonous snakes to cause trouble in the Dan Bao Realm and the Xiantian Realm. Do you really think he can get rid of me like this?"

Lu Bei sneered and said: "Others may not know, but for me, you are a nest of stinky snakes. One by one, none of you can escape today."

"Ahem."

She Zhang coughed twice and said, "Stop riddles, who is the real murderer?"

"Sister She, have you ever heard of the name of the Snake Dragon Sect?" Lu Bei smiled mysteriously.

She Zhang thought for a moment and shook his head.

"That's a pity. With your cultivation level in the Xiantian realm, and being a member of the Snake Bloodline, you are still just...well, an old girl. If you join the Snake Dragon Sect, you might be able to become a saint. After two years, you will be a great protector. "

She Zhang: "..."

This person looks annoying at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he is really annoying.

…

Red Sleeve Pavilion.

Milky white thick fog wraps around the red lanterns, a faint cool breeze blows, and the fog curls away, like streamers on a fairy's clothes.

Because it is not a serious place, not only the streamers, but also the clothes on the fairy are getting less and less.

In the red building, the music of the piano was playing, and there were women in dignified clothes waving their hands to pluck the strings, and there were literati who claimed to be elegant guests, quoting scriptures, holding the girl's little hand, and reciting some crooked poems with excitement.

There were also passers-by who passed by eight times a night, touched their money bags, and cursed the declining world.

Lu Bei and She Zhang strode in. The two of them were dressed in black that was so eye-catching that they immediately attracted a lot of attention. But soon, after seeing She Zhang's black robe with brocade patterns, these people quickly lowered their heads.

Damn it, the black yamen came to Hongxiu Pavilion to have fun?

No, are you here to arrest someone?

Before Lu Bei could shout to clear the place, more than half of the guests left on their own, while the remaining half sat upright, picking up the little hand of the girl in front of them and measuring their career and love.

"Oh, hey, you guys are heartless, your genius has just faded, why do you think of the yellow-faced woman at home?"

A plump and beautiful woman walked down from the red building, waving a painting fan, came to the door, and said with a smile: "Two gentlemen... one gentlemen, but it's so late at night that I can't find an inn. Are you planning to stay in a private room for one night?"

"That's what I mean, lead the way." Lu Bei nodded.

"this way please."

The beautiful woman raised her hand and put it on Lu Bei's arm, pressed it softly and warmly, and immediately buried most of it.

She Zhang frowned, the Fengyue place was unsightly. When he had time, he reminded Lu Bei to think more about his senior sister and not to come to such a place to gather information in the future.
