“Painted Boat in the Red Chamber... ..”
A name flashed across Lu Sheng's mind like lightning.
Riding on his horse, he paused for a while, with a slightly gloomy expression on his face. When he saw that someone in the convoy saw him, he moved forward slowly.
When they got close, Lu Quan'an led a group of people to meet him in a hurry.
"Sheng'er! Why are you here? Your hair?" He was also taken aback when he saw Lu Sheng's current appearance.
Lu Sheng got off his horse.
"It's a long story, let's not talk about the hair. Father, Second Mother, Uncle Zhao, I came from Yanshan City, why did you stop here? Also, who hung that red lantern?"
He seemed to be casually pointing to the red lantern hanging on the carriage.
"I don't know, we are also investigating. It was a normal yellow paper lantern before, but someone suddenly found out that the lantern has been replaced by someone." Lu Quan'an said solemnly, his face was a little restless. "It just so happens that you are here, Sheng'er. Come and take a look."
Lu Sheng looked at the people around him, all the family members were here, Er Niang, San Niang, Uncle Zhao, and Si Niang and Wu Niang who hurriedly got off the car not far away were all there. In addition to this big family, there are many distant relatives, including his biological mother's relatives, and other relatives of several families. There are more than twenty people in Guanglu's family.
"Brother Sheng, it's a good thing you're here. Chen Xin disappeared before, you must help me find him!" Sanniang is also Lu Chenxin's biological mother, Wang Yanyu, her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, Obviously cried.
"Don't worry Sanniang, I will try my best." Lu Sheng nodded.
Although everyone in the family saw that his current appearance was very strange, under the panic at this time, the focus of everyone's attention was not on this, but on the arrival of Lu Sheng, the team would be much safer.
Brother Sheng had to solve the problem of Jiulian City before, and now Brother Sheng must have a solution. Everyone looked at Lu Sheng with expectant and reassuring eyes.
Lu Sheng walked into the convoy all the way, and stood in front of the emptied carriage. There were several soldiers standing beside them, and one of them was a fat man with dark skin and an ugly complexion, who was staring at the carriage tightly with a waist knife in his hand.
"It turns out that Brother Sheng is here. Now it's all right. Come and see, the scratches from before lighting the lantern are still there, and the words on it are exactly the same as before." The fat man is exactly Brother Song from before. The disappearance of three brothers already made him feel irritable, but now this kind of thing happened suddenly.
Lu Sheng nodded, carefully observing the red lanterns hung on the carriage.
"Who was in this car before?" He asked in a low voice.
"It's the third young master Lu Chenxin, the fourth young master Lu Tianyang, and Zhang Xiuxiu's family." Song Ge quickly replied in a low voice.
"When did Chen Xin disappear?" The more Lu Sheng looked at the lantern, the more it looked like the one he had seen on the painting boat.
"It disappeared in that deserted village before." Brother Song hurriedly said.
"Desolate village..." Lu Sheng looked around, his eyes slowly turning cold. "Keep moving forward, towards Yanshan City. Don't stop, I'd like to see which Mao God is messing with my Lu family." He said a few words in the direction of his father.
Lu Quanan nodded at him.
"Go! Get in the car, take down the red lantern, and keep going!"
"Wait! Don't take this car, leave it here." Lu Sheng stopped Zhang Xiuxiu's family and Lu Tianyang who were about to get in the car.
The complexions of several people were a little pale, and they all clearly understood that the red lantern might represent some kind of troublesome sign.
"Brother, are we okay..." Lu Tianyang moved closer to Lu Sheng and asked.
"If you are obedient, you won't." Lu Sheng glared at him.
He has never had a good impression of the three rascals in his family, so it would be a great face to be able to talk back.
Lu Tianyang got into the car resentfully.
The convoy started slowly again, but everyone was highly concentrated, carefully observing the surrounding environment and the road.
The wheels rolled slowly, making a dull or dull sound on the uneven ground.
Lu Sheng stared at his surroundings carefully, paying attention to the movement.
As he was walking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Stop!" He raised his hand violently.
Lu Quanan hurriedly signaled everyone to stop.
Lu Sheng turned his head slowly, and the abandoned red lantern carriage was actually still following behind the convoy. The red lanterns were extremely eye-catching, and the horses remained silent, as if someone was still driving the horses in the driver's place.
Soon, the rest of the people also discovered this strange phenomenon. Suddenly someone screamed, but immediately covered his mouth and was reprimanded a few times.
An atmosphere of panic slowly enveloped the team.
"What are you afraid of!" Lu Sheng snorted coldly, "Tie this car to a big tree by the side of the road, and let's continue walking. I guess this old horse is familiar with people, so he won't follow us."
"Yes, there is indeed such a thing. I also encountered this kind of thing when I was in the rivers and lakes before." Uncle Zhao quickly explained with a smile.
The soldiers were a little scared, but under Brother Song's scolding, they still stepped forward and tied the red lantern carriage to a dead tree nearby.
The convoy continued to rush forward.
It took about a cup of tea. This time everyone kept looking back, for fear that the carriage was still following.
The previous scene scared everyone.
After walking like this for a while, about half an hour or so, everyone slowly relaxed their vigilance.
"Look ahead!" Suddenly a soldier shouted.
Immediately everyone looked forward.
On the left side of the official road in front, the carriage that was tied up by them before was parked quietly.
The red lanterns on the carriage were still quietly lit.
The entire convoy stopped unconsciously. Everyone's breathing was almost stagnant, they just stared blankly at the red lantern carriage in front of them.
Lu Quanan kept taking out a towel to wipe his sweat. Although he looked terrified, he still tried his best to calm down and comfort the other people around who were getting more and more panicked.
Lu Sheng stared at the carriage coldly.
Clang, he pulled out his knife and walked slowly towards the red lantern carriage.
"You go first, I will come later!"
"Sheng'er!" Lu Quanan yelled, "Be careful!"
"En." Without turning his head, Lu Sheng waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly. He stayed alone, staring at the carriage.
Amid the sound of rolling wheels, the convoy slowly drove away. Only Lu Sheng was left motionless on the official road.
He licked his lips, and slowly walked towards the carriage with the knife in hand.
"Aren't you looking for me? I'm here, right here." He chuckled a few times, "Do you want to avenge that female boat ghost
Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity. You didn't see that at the beginning, I picked off her skin alive, then gouged out her eyes, cut off her nose and ears. "
Lu Sheng laughed strangely.
"That woman actually scolded me for daring to treat her like this, so I cut her in half from head to toe with a knife. She thought she could not die, but I burned her with my internal energy, and she died. Hahaha..."
The laughter didn't stop.
The carriage automatically slammed open with a bang, as if someone was pushing hard inside and pulled the door open.
"What? Angry? Later, I cut off her head and planned to take it back to make a chamber pot, but I didn't expect that she couldn't stand the last knife and exploded?" Lu Sheng said grimly.
In the carriage that slid open, a young woman in red was sitting quietly. Her face was as white as white paper, and she was holding a big red lantern in her hand, sitting motionless on the seat.
click... click..
The woman's neck slowly turned, making a strange rubbing sound.
She turned her head and stared at the strangely smiling Lu Sheng with her lifeless eyes.
"You know that woman, right?" Lu Sheng held the handle of the knife with both hands, arched his body, and his eyes became cold. "So you came to avenge her?"
Chi!
The woman in red disappeared into the carriage in an instant, and reappeared behind Lu Sheng.
The lantern in her hand swayed lightly, and it hit the back of Lu Sheng's neck silently.
Lu Sheng's backhand was a knife.
Swish!
The light of the knife was silver and cold, but instead brought bursts of scorching hot air. His Chiji mentality was in full swing, rushing into the blade at high speed, and slashed across the woman in red fiercely.
But to Lu Sheng's surprise, his knife fell through the cracks.
The blade passed through the woman's body without hindrance, as if the other party was a phantom at all.
"What's going on!?" Before he had time to think about it, Lu Sheng saw the red lantern hit his chest hard.
Boom! !
Like being struck by lightning, he felt as if he was hit by a weight of hundreds of kilograms at high speed. The whole person fell backwards with a bang.
His legs slammed on the ground and dragged for more than ten steps, almost hitting the carriage.
Lu Sheng's face turned red, and he grabbed the edge of the car, pouring his inner energy into the blade, and slashed fiercely in front of him again.
Swish!
The blade once again slashed across the body of the lantern woman who had just appeared, and the red lantern slammed on Lu Sheng's left shoulder again.
He staggered and fell a few steps in a row. Before he could stand still, he saw the woman suddenly appear in front of him again.
Boom!
Again, it hit the side of his knife, barely blocking it. But the great force also knocked him to the ground.
"Teleportation? No! No, it's her speed that makes me look like teleportation!" Lu Sheng felt the burning pain where he was hit twice, and it was accompanied by a slight itch. Obviously poisoned.
The Yin-Yang Jade Crane Kung Fu rushes to the injured area rapidly, resisting possible infection and toxicity.
He quickly turned over and looked left and right, but he couldn't see the woman's figure, and he couldn't feel the slightest breath behind him.
"She moves very fast, but there is still a little bit of noise." Lu Sheng listened carefully, although he was hit twice, but because of his hard work and internal energy circulation, he didn't suffer much injury.
He stared carefully at the surroundings, the carriage was beside him, and it was empty inside, only two red lanterns flickered.
"Where are people?"
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
Chi!
Suddenly, two red ribbons flew out of the carriage, tightly wrapped around his neck from behind, and a huge force frantically tried to strangle his neck.
Lu Sheng blushed, grabbed the ribbon with his hands, and his inner energy surged violently. The high fever generated by the Chiji mental method quickly shrank and scorched the ribbon.
puff. He severed the ribbon and rolled forward, away from the carriage.
Just as he stood up, another red lantern bumped into him.
Boom!
Lu Sheng gushed blood into his throat and flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He took several steps back, his whole body was billowing with heat, the blade and hands were full of scorching internal air.
I looked around, but still couldn't find anyone.
"What? There's no trick here?" He laughed, pointing at his forehead, "Come on, hit here."
