Lu Sheng sighed inwardly. In this family, he was willing to protect him, only his father Lu Quan'an, Er Niang, and Xiao Qiao.
The rest of the people didn't have any feelings, the road was slightly ruined, and I didn't see how sad they were. Even Lu Yingying said such words as a younger sister, which shows her coldness of heart.
Although he has no relationship with Lu Qingqing, but when he thinks about Erniang's situation and what Yan Kai said before.
Letting his original expectations fall to the bottom, Lu Sheng was also disappointed.
He was depressed for a while before recovering his mood.
Although he is an ordinary person, he has modifiers. Even if he can't practice the method of eliminating spirits, he is not necessarily worse than them.
He doesn't believe that he can't deal with ghosts and ghosts with his own strength.
"It's a light matter, let's put it aside for now, we will have a chance in the future, and we can even seek medical treatment from a doctor.
But there is another thing that cannot be delayed.
I learned from Taoist Yan Kai that there are still many ghosts lurking in Jiulian City, and we must take precautions. "Lu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"There are still many?" Lu Quanan was taken aback, and the rest of the people were also shocked.
The ghosts like before couldn't rely on people to attract each other, and there are still many ghosts like that!
"This is simply fatal!!"
Wu Niang stood up and cried out.
"Shut up!"
Lu Quan'an slapped the armrest of the chair heavily.
Wu Niang was so frightened that she trembled all over, and sat down again.
Lu Sheng glanced at the whole family, all of them looked like frosted eggplants, they lost all energy, their eyes were full of panic and bewilderment.
"So, my suggestion is, while it's still safe, our Lu family will move out of Jiulian City immediately."
Lu Quanan shook his head.
"It's no longer possible. The death order came from above, and none of the four major families is allowed to leave Jiulian City. I didn't know what the order was before, but now I want to..."
Lu Sheng's heart turned cold.
Is this the deliberate cooperation of the upper court? Or is it just a coincidence
"How about going piecemeal?" Si Niang asked in a low voice. "Isn't there a big brother here..."
"No." Lu Quanan shook his head. "When I went to the city gate before, my eldest brother didn't see me, but just sent a letter. Now even the magistrate is not allowed to leave the city."
Suddenly everyone was silent. Everyone looked at Lu Sheng.
Before that, it was Lu Sheng who turned the tide and solved the crying of the female ghost in the house.
"Now..." Lu Sheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice. "We can only stay in the mansion, let the purchase as much food and meat as possible, and make it into food that can be stored for a long time.
We have to be prepared to be trapped for a long time. "
"That's right." Lu Quanan regained his energy a little at this time, and nodded.
boom! !
Just then, the ground shook.
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion from the west of the city.
With a jolt, Lu Sheng jumped up and rushed out of the hall, looking towards the western sky.
There was a crimson flame rising into the sky, obviously something exploded and caused a big fire.
The red fire light illuminated half of the sky in Jiulian City.
There were a lot of cries and shouts in the distance, mixed with the sound of calling for firefighting.
"I'll go take a look first!"
Lu Sheng couldn't see the specific situation from the inner courtyard, so he quickly greeted his father Lu Quan'an, and rushed to the gate of the mansion.
He just left the door and asked his servants to lead the horse out.
Lu Sheng saw that on the street in front of the gate of Lu Mansion, there were many people with swords and swords rushing towards the direction of the fire.
These people were quick in footwork, and they seemed to be Lianjiazi. The eyes they looked at the fire were not the surprise and panic that Lu Sheng imagined, but a hint of greed and desire.
Lian Jiazi passed by the gate of Lu Mansion, only Lu Sheng stood at the gate for a dozen breaths, and saw three waves passing by.
Some of them galloped on horseback, and some sprinted on foot. Among them were men and women, old and young.
But most of them are not locals near Jiulian City.
The costumes on their bodies are more delicate and delicate than those of the locals, and they are mostly decorated with small accessories. It can be distinguished at a glance that most of them are from the Central Plains.
Wait until the servants who are also frightened try to pull the horse over.
Lu Sheng patted the frightened Jian Ma, who was struggling constantly, and was about to turn over. Then I saw two more familiar faces among the Lianjiazi passing by on the street.
Duanmuwan and the male bodyguard beside her who had been inseparable all the time were galloping towards the fire, one person and one horse.
Duanmuwan was wearing a black gauze dress and a bamboo hat, through which she could still see a bit of her graceful figure.
When she passed by the Lu Mansion, she also saw Lu Sheng, and she gave a light gasp.
"Are you still alive?"
She suddenly said this, rode the horse, slowed down slightly, and stared at Lu Sheng, as if looking at some strange animal.
"What does Miss Duanmu mean by that?"
Lu Sheng's eyebrows darkened, not understanding what the other party meant.
"Interesting." Duanmu Wan smiled. "It seems that we are really destined, and I will come to you again in the future."
Lu Sheng still wanted to ask questions, but he saw Duanmu Wan riding his horse and leading the male guard, speeding up and rushing towards the fire.
Before leaving, the man also gave Lu Sheng a surprised look.
That look, just like... .
It was like seeing a person who was supposed to be dead suddenly alive.
Lu Sheng got on his horse and originally wanted to keep up.
But immediately a voice stopped him, it was Yan Kai.
"Sir Sheng, it's better not to join in the fun, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Yan Kai, Duan Rongrong, and Zhuan Feng all ran towards the fire.
Seeing that Lu Sheng was also planning to follow, Yan Kai had no choice but to remind him.
"What does the Taoist priest mean by this?"
Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"The fire was caused by the big demon, and it was done on purpose. There is so much resentment over there. As long as ordinary people get close, they will lose their minds and their lives will be in danger!" Yan Kai said solemnly. "Even if Mr. Sheng is superior in martial arts, there will be no second result."
"But I also saw many people rushing over..." Lu Sheng was puzzled.
"Those people want to die by themselves, and no one can save them. Moreover, it seems that someone specially lured them there." Yan Kai said indifferently.
Lu Sheng fell silent.
This kind of feeling of watching something big happen near his home, but he didn't know what happened, made him feel bad.
Thinking that Yan Kai was a kind reminder, he cupped his hands and bowed to the other party.
"Thank you for the reminder, Daoist."
Yan Kai nodded at him. Together with Duan Rongrong and the bee, they rushed towards the direction of the fire.
When Lu Sheng saw this, he immediately understood that Duan Rongrong and Zhuan Feng might also have something special, they were not ordinary people.
In other words, they had other purposes at all, and they made a special trip to Jiulian City, a small city located near the northern ice ocean.
Having figured this out, he got off his horse again, and opened his eyes.
"Master Daoist, Miss Zhuanfeng, why don't I arrange to ride a horse to go there faster!"
Yan Kai was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that it was Lu Sheng who was selling favors to him.
Thinking of what might happen if we rush over here, it is important to save energy.
He nodded quickly.
"It's so troublesome!"
Lu Sheng was about to let him lead the horse, so he quickly regained his senses.
"No, there's no need to lead, the stable is right next door, come here! Take the three priests to the stable to pick a horse, any horse is fine!!"
Lu Sheng said loudly.
"Young Master Sheng is righteous!"
Yan Kai clasped his fists and hurried to the stable with the guards.
Lu Sheng stood alone at the gate of Lu Mansion, surrounded by a few guards who didn't know where he was.
He looked in the direction of the fire and fell silent for a while.
The fire lasted for an unknown amount of time before it slowly dimmed.
Lu Sheng also stood at the gate of the mansion for the same long time.
Click!
A blue lightning flashed across.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was hard to tell whether it was the thick smoke that had just floated up or the black clouds.
Soon, the continuous downpour of rain came down.
Lu Quanan also came out and stood beside Lu Sheng, and someone specially set up a canopy for the two of them.
The splashing raindrops hit the ground, splashing a layer of white mist.
The sky is getting dark, and it is almost dawn. One night's work passed without knowing it.
Lu Sheng stood at the gate, thinking deeply.
He had a premonition that it seemed that something extremely important had happened in the fire explosion last night.
It happened right on his doorstep.
It's a pity that his strength is low, and he doesn't even dare to approach.
He could tell that Yan Kai didn't lie to him, what happened last night was indeed something ordinary people couldn't get close to.
"The fire should be extinguished now. I received news that it was a fireworks store in the west of the city, and a lot of fireworks exploded. The fire broke out and many people died..."
Lu Quanan sighed.
"Firework shop..." Lu Sheng repeated. Looking west of the city.
The sky has gradually turned white, and the edge has completely turned into a mixture of blue and white.
Lu Sheng tightened the knife on his waist and walked towards the fire.
"Father, I'll go over there and have a look."
"Be careful." Lu Quanan didn't know that the big fire had something else going on, but felt that Jiulian City was not peaceful recently, so he hurriedly warned.
"Know!"
Lu Sheng left the mansion and rushed towards the west of the city.
I couldn't see anything at first, but as I got closer and closer to the fire.
Some houses and streets gradually began to appear gray and black, and many ordinary people were homeless holding luggage, quilts and the like on the street.
Crying, people's voices, noises, noises, it was a commotion.
Lu Sheng drove forward for a while.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people, and the houses on both sides were completely coked. Some houses were burnt down, and there were huge holes in the roofs.
From time to time, some charred and melted bones can be seen on the ground. Such bones and remains are everywhere.
The closer he got, the more frightened Lu Sheng became.
There are too many bones and remains. It is not known how many people died in the explosion and fire last night.
Soon, Lu Sheng saw the core of the explosion.
It's not a fireworks shop, but another residence of Song Duanchi, the magistrate—Pearl Mansion.
The entire Pearl Mansion collapsed badly, and piles of ruins emerged one after another around it, like graves of different sizes.
Lu Sheng also saw not only him coming, but also many Jianghu people wearing swords and weapons, wandering around, as if they were looking for something.
These Jianghu people kept a distance from each other, their eyes were vigilant, and they had more or less aura on their bodies. They were obviously not the practitioners of Jiulian City itself.
He also saw that from time to time, these Jianghu people would find some messy things from the ruins and quickly put them in their arms.
