The sound of the explosion completely interrupted the sound that kept echoing in Lu Sheng's ears.
"Is this your memory? It's all sealed in this mirror." Lu Sheng lowered his swords and walked slowly towards the mad woman in the distance.
Roar! !
The crazy woman rushed towards Lu Sheng.
Her movements were faster than those of the little girl before, and the sharp and sharp nails on her ten fingers were also stronger, but for Lu Sheng, everything was in vain.
He didn't even look at the opponent's shadow, but the blood net all over his body suddenly drew back and forth.
boom! !
The masculine and scorching Chiji Nine Shagong inner energy exploded, directly blasting the crazy woman who appeared behind Lu Sheng into the air.
Lu Sheng slammed the machete backhanded.
Pooh!
The machete accurately nailed the crazy woman to the ground. The hot masculine inner energy on the blade made her howl in pain, trying to pull the knife off her body, but to no avail.
Lu Sheng calmly walked up to the woman and looked down at her.
"Do you hate?"
He asked the question with the same voice.
The crazy woman struggled and howled in pain, knowing nothing at all, like a dying beast.
Lu Sheng held the handle of the knife.
"Lingling... Lingling... Mommy is here..." The crazy woman suddenly called out softly.
Her body became calm, and the eyes in the messy hair gradually became gentle. Waving his hands around, he seemed to be looking for something.
"..... Mom is here..." The woman's voice softened and repeated over and over again.
Lu Sheng's face calmed down, and his internal energy poured into the handle of the knife.
puff!
The woman's entire body suddenly burned, completely turning into black ash.
With the disappearance of the woman, the surrounding straw fields also began to distort and blacken, slowly returning to the original courtyard of Shengmingfang.
Lu Sheng stood in the middle of the yard with a knife in his hand, looking at the black ash on the ground.
The maker of the mirror, although for some unknown reason, gave the little girl such hope.
Lu Sheng couldn't tell whether his intentions were good or bad, he just felt upset. After killing so many ghosts, this was the first time he had such a feeling.
The last question he asked, the woman's answer, made him feel depressed.
"My lord??" Xu Chui came out of the room at this moment, "What about the mirror stand?" He seemed to have not noticed what happened before.
Lu Sheng looked back at him.
"Pack it all up and take it away."
"This... the fragments too?" Xu Chui hesitated.
"all."
"yes!"
Lu Sheng stood in the courtyard without moving for a long time. Until the sky gradually turned pale. Dong Qi came out of the bedroom timidly.
"The envoy!" Dong Qi walked in front of the road and saluted him earnestly. "If it wasn't for you last night, Dong Qi would have been in trouble."
"Just hand in the reward." Lu Sheng said lightly. "Let's go and see that Pharmacist Zhuo Qingyang."
"yes."
At this time Xu Chui had also packed up the mirror holder, and the big bag of lens shards was too difficult for him, so he specially found a cowhide mattress as a bag, and wrapped everything up.
The three went straight to Zhuo Qingyang's bedroom.
Boom boom boom.
Boom boom boom.
No one answered.
Lu Sheng glanced at Xu Chui, who understood, took a step back, put his foot on the door, and the door opened immediately.
Lu Sheng walked in first, and saw Zhuo Qingyang lying on the bed, motionless, his face turning blue.
He strode over and stretched out his hand to test his breath, but he was already out of breath.
"Dead." He looked back at Dong Qi, and suddenly thought of the maids, maids and guards he had seen before.
"Why is it so early in the morning and there is still no sound at all, go and see your maid or something."
Dong Qi also seemed to remember something, nodded, her face pale. After hearing Lu Sheng's order, she quickly responded in a low voice, and ran out of the room in small steps.
Xu Chui stepped forward to check the cause of death, and said in a low voice: "The corpse seems to have died of natural aging, with no obvious traumatic bleeding, and no signs of poisoning. Maybe it was caused by ghosts."
Lu Sheng let out a breath and was about to speak. Suddenly Dong Qi's screams came from outside.
He and Xu Chui immediately turned around and ran out, followed the direction of the sound to catch up, and outside a side room, they found Dong Qi who was holding on to a pillar and gasping for breath.
Seeing the two of them, Dong Qi almost collapsed.
"The envoy... is dead... all are dead..." she cried in a tearful voice.
Lu Sheng glanced at the open rooms, stepped in a few steps, and saw a servant girl lying on the bed. She was dead, and her corpse was somewhat stinky.
On the other side, Xu Chui also rushed to another room, and there was also a low cry.
Lu Sheng left the room and looked at Xu Chui, who nodded at him with a solemn expression. Sure enough, he is also dead.
He walked a few steps, looked in from the door, and there was indeed a corpse lying on the bed. The strong stench of corpses kept wafting out, making the whole room a little disgusting.
"Check all the other rooms." Lu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Xu Chui responded, speeding up, breaking in from room to room.
Lu Sheng also split up to look at other rooms.
As time passed, the two quickly looked at several surrounding courtyards.
The entire Shengmingfang was dead silent, except for one of Dong Qi's personal maids, all the people who lived here were dead. And many of them died for an unknown period of time, and the corpses were full of maggots.
Dong Qi was terrified. At least one-third of the top executives of the entire tea gang are resting in this Shengmingfang. Unexpectedly, this trip will be... .
When the sky was completely bright, the subordinates outside came to help the crowd, and then under Dong Qi's order, they carried the corpses out of the Shengmingfang one by one with pale faces.
Many people from the town also came to watch the excitement, forming a circle around the gate to watch the corpses being carried out continuously.
The town's garrison Qu Zhang is the largest chief executive, leading a team to check the situation. This chief Qu is the leader of the Fei Lian army stationed in the nearby fort, and he is also an old friend of the tea gang, and he pays a lot of money every year. This visit to inquire about the situation is also a gesture of human kindness.
Dong Qi talked with Qu Chang for a while, sent him away, and secretly stuffed some silver taels, which was considered hard-earned money, and then dismissed the group of military masters.
Lu Sheng took Xu Chui to check the body of the gang leader Dong Shengping.
With the assistance of one of Dong Qi's assistants, the two quickly found a tombstone buried on the hillside outside the town.
Dong Qi set out to have someone dig out the body, set up a pergola and put it in. Lu Sheng and the two went in to investigate carefully.
On a sunny day, the arbor is also sweltering.
Lu Sheng stood beside the corpse covered with white cloth, stretched out his hand and gently lifted a piece of cloth, exposing the head of the corpse.
On the bones of the corpse, a knife mark can be clearly seen slanting across the eye sockets, bridge of the nose, and mouth.
Great depth.
"This should be a fatal injury." Lu Sheng frowned. Without looking too much, he felt a faint yin energy coming from the wound.
This kind of yin energy can only be felt on the corpses killed by ghosts. And this kind of yin energy, because it is too weak, Lu Sheng needs to absorb it at least a hundred times, to get enough to raise the yin energy of Tongli martial arts once.
So he didn't bother to do it. The puppet, the piece of cloth, and the copper mirror stand before this trip are the most sinister.
"There is still a wound on the abdomen, which is a stab wound. It should have been stabbed with a dagger or something." Xu Chui added from the side.
Lu Sheng nodded, indicating that he understood. He looked at the corpse, slightly lost in thought.
"The mirror is the culprit. After killing the little girl Lingling's resentment, it seems to have turned into a special tool.
There is definitely something wrong with this mirror. It is impossible to kill a poor little girl and so many people for no reason. It must have some purpose. "
After checking for a while, Lu Sheng probably figured out how the members of the tea gang and the gang leader Dong Shengping died.
"The guild leader died in a conspiracy. The murderer is unknown, but it should be that ghost named Lingling." Lu Sheng explained.
"As for the rest of the middle and high-level gang, they were also attracted by the pharmacist Zhuo Qingyang. They used the mirror to absorb vitality and died."
"Can this vitality be absorbed?" Xu Chui was taken aback for a moment.
"Vitality is the power that is naturally produced when you eat, sleep and rest. This power makes your heart beat and gives you strength. It makes you move, talk and laugh. This is vitality." Lu Sheng explained, "To put it in a simple way , is Yang Qi.”
"Oh...." Xu Chui was stunned.
Lu Sheng stood by the side of the awning, and took out the doll he picked up earlier from his pocket. There was a strong yin energy rolling over the puppet.
Although the ghost to be solved this time may be just a single-layered monster in terms of strength, but the mirror behind it is quite profound and unpredictable.
"Forget it, this tea gang, let's do it first, let's continue to sweep other places." Lu Sheng ordered.
"Yes, apart from here, there is another nearby help point, but it's only at the spiritual level. The reward is three hundred taels of silver." Xu Chui dug out the list he had brought before.
"Go and replenish dry food and water with Dong Qi, we're leaving today." Lu Sheng looked at the tea gang members waiting not far away.
The purpose of coming out this time is mainly to sweep away the yin energy. He needs a lot of yin energy to practice Yin internal energy, and he also needs to compress the internal energy, so he still has no idea.
'Perhaps I can use Yin Qi to forcibly improve my inner strength. If my body is hard enough, I should be able to squeeze the inner Qi and make it liquefied. 'He suddenly had an idea.
"But let's solve the Yin-Yang imbalance first." Lu Sheng thought about it. "As long as one can get started, and then forcibly enhance this yin internal strength with yin qi, it may be able to force the internal qi to liquefy and reconcile yin and yang at the same time."
"So, if everything goes well, I just need to get Aquarius Qi into it and increase it to a sufficient amount, and I may receive miraculous effects." Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
The two problems he has been worrying about, the imbalance of yin and yang, and the bottleneck of skill, may be solved in one fell swoop.
Xu Chui quickly went to talk to the people in the tea gang guarding the side for a while, and Dong Qi hurried over immediately, directing everyone to re-bury his father's body.
"The envoy is leaving now? I don't know the reason... Have you investigated it clearly?" Dong Qi quietly stuffed a ticket into Lu Sheng's hand.
Lu Sheng glanced at it calmly, and it turned out to be a golden ticket with the word "hundred" faintly printed on it.
One hundred taels of gold, this is Dong Qi's personal remuneration to Lu Sheng, in addition to the remuneration handed over to the Red Whale Gang.
One hundred taels of gold equals one thousand taels of silver, which was converted into one million yuan in the previous life.
"As expected, all the tea producers are extremely rich." Lu Sheng knew very well that the more small a place in the countryside, the higher the sky is and the emperor is far away, the profits he can make are far more than those in a big city with strict governance. There are not a few such unknown but rich gangs in Northland, let alone other regions.
In particular, the Tea Gang is backed by the Fei Lian Army, and there are also experts in the Supervision Department in the army. It can be regarded as the old-fashioned rule of Baifeng, and its safety is no worse than that of the Red Whale Gang.
