Chapter 82

"Is it comfortable to hold a dead body?"

Luo Chen's face was blank, and when he looked again, he was stunned on the spot. Zuo Linglong fell to the ground after being pushed by Li Ruotong, twitching like a machine.

His pale face was whiter than the snow on the ground, and there was no blood at all.

"Save me, save...save me, please..."

"Maybe there's still hope?"

Luo Chen knelt down and clasped Zuo Linglong's wrist. There was no pulse at all.

"The blood in this girl's body has solidified. It seems she has been dead for a while."

When Li Ruotong spoke like this, the long sword slashed Zuo Linglong's wrist, leaving a red mark, but no blood flowed out.

On the side, Manager Wei continued to clean up the fallen snow in the courtyard, as if he had noticed it a long time ago. It seems that the previous sentence "throw it out" should also refer to it.

Luo Chen's expression changed again and again, but at this moment, a group of people ran in outside the Zhong Mansion, led by the chief steward of the Zuo family.

"I found the lady."

A group of people were in a hurry, but Zuo Linglong was still asking for help. Luo Chen frowned, sighed softly in his heart, stepped forward and said, "Miss Zuo, what is going on?"

The chief steward of the Zuo family showed an impatient look, glanced at Luo Chen, and then revealed a fierce look: "Watch your mouth and eyes, otherwise, you will be next!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Chen's body tensed up in an instant. These words were secretly transmitted by the Zuo Daguan, and only Luo Chen could hear them.

"I was threatened."

Looking at the chief steward of the Zuo family who was gradually disappearing into reality, Luo Chen's constricted pupils gradually dilated, but there was also a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"There is indeed a problem!"

He is not stupid. Zuo Linglong suddenly ran to Zhong Mansion, asking for help, but there was no sign of life. This was definitely not an accident, it was obviously a warning! A warning from the city lord's palace!

"What’s wrong with you?"

Seemingly noticing something strange on Luo Chen's side, Li Ruotong stepped forward and spoke.

"It's okay, Sister Ruotong, Sister Zhong Li's face is a bit unsightly. Why don't you help Sister Zhong Li down to rest first?"

"That's fine."

Li Ruotong nodded and helped Zhong Li, who turned pale, back to the room.

"Manager Wei, I'm going out for a walk."

"careful."

Manager Wei, who was cleaning up the fallen snow, nodded, but did not stop it.

After stepping out of the Zhong Mansion, Luo Chen walked around the aristocratic houses, but what he saw was a different scene.

Outside the Bai Mansion, there was a servant cleaning up the fallen snow outside. Luo Chen stepped forward quickly and pretended to ask for directions. The servant in the Bai Mansion showed his impatience, so Luo Chen stuffed a valuable jade ring into the servant's face.

I felt happy, looked around, and put it away directly.

"Ask me if you have anything to do. If someone sees me, I'll be in trouble."

Luo Chen smiled and nodded, pretending not to know: "The Bai Mansion is very lively today, is there any happy event?"

"You said this, tomorrow is Bai Laozi's eightieth birthday. Now everyone in the house is busy with this. The chief housekeeper has been scolding him for this for a long time. It's strange to say that there are so many guard servants.

You don’t come to help, but you let me, a kitchen manager, come here to do this hard work! I don’t know what you think.”

When talking about this, the man kept complaining and swearing.

Luo Chen's heart moved and he tried again: "Really? That's a bit unreasonable. If the cook is asked to go outside the house to clear the snow, then who will cook?"

Luo Chen laughed casually, but as soon as he said these words, the servant paled slightly and whispered: "Eating? The Bai Mansion has been acting weird recently. What else are you eating? Everyone seems to be possessed by evil spirits."

This is a lot of information. Is it evil? However, just when Luo Chen was about to continue asking, he saw a young man walking out of the Bai Mansion and giving him a strange smile.

An inexplicable chill arose in his heart. The servant was startled and ignored Luo Chen. Instead, he quickly swept away the falling snow.

The young man was dressed in a gray robe and was holding a small wooden teapot. The teapot was still steaming and he took a few sips from time to time.

"It's cold outside. Since Mr. Luo likes to inquire about my Bai family so much, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Luo Chen felt wary, smiled, and turned around to leave. He was not stupid enough to enter the Bai Mansion. If he was strong enough, he would not mind going in for a look. But he also knew that with his current cultivation level, once he entered, he would

The chance of figuring it out is almost zero.

The servants of the Bai family had previously said that the Bai family was possessed by evil spirits, but although he didn't know exactly how, he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Zuo Linglong not long ago.

After wandering outside for a while, Luo Chen returned to Zhong Mansion.

In the afternoon, someone came from the City Lord's Mansion, saying that they were inviting those who ranked tenth on the list to enter the Fighting Soul Pavilion. Manager Wei frowned, and although he sent the person away, he also informed Luo Chen and the others about the matter.

In the room, Li Ruotong frowned and shook his head at Luo Chen and Zhong Li: "At this time, I don't recommend that you enter the city lord's palace."

Zhong Li looked at Luo Chen, as if asking him what he meant. Zhong Li wondered how Luo Chen could not see that Zhong Xianer's whereabouts were unknown until now. In fact, she really wanted to visit the city lord's mansion again.

"Now that the evil soul master is in control of the City Lord's Mansion, if he really wants to kill us, I think even hiding in the Zhong Mansion will not help. As for the Soul Fighting Pavilion, I am very interested in going to see it."

Even though he said so, it's hard to tell what he was thinking in his heart.

Li Ruotong frowned. Luo Chen was telling the truth, but it was definitely not wise to go there rashly.

"I will go take a look in the evening, but there is no need to follow Zhong Li."

"no!"

Zhong Li objected, but Li Ruotong on the side nodded: "That's fine, but be cautious and just go to the Fighting Soul Pavilion when the time comes. Don't rush in. Maybe the City Lord's Mansion is not as bad as we imagined.

.”

In the evening, people came to the City Lord's Mansion again. Luo Chen went there alone, while Zhong Li stayed in Zhong Mansion.

Inside the carriage, Luo Chen lifted the curtain of the carriage. The sky outside was gloomy, and he felt inexplicably depressed.

The carriage drove smoothly and entered the outer mansion directly. However, when the carriage entered the outer mansion, it did not enter the inner mansion. Instead, it went to Wangyue Pavilion.

The carriage was driven by a thin old man, very old, about ninety, holding a big pipe in one hand. When the carriage arrived at Wangyue Pavilion, he sat on the stone platform in front of the attic and smoked.

Luo Chen got out of the carriage, looked at the dark and gloomy surroundings, and couldn't help but said: "Old man, why don't you just go into the inner palace?"

"Are you so anxious to die? Baby, you shouldn't have come with me."

After taking two more puffs, the old man turned the pipe over in his hand and knocked out the unburned tobacco from the pipe. A hint of darkness flashed through his old, cloudy eyes.

Wangyue Pavilion, this three-story old pavilion, although it has been abandoned for so many years, the inside of the pavilion is still dust-free. The old man held a rag and wiped it along the stone platform for nearly an hour before getting up.

carriage.

"Little boy, if you want to survive, after entering the inner palace, ask less, talk less, and look less."

"Thank you old man for reminding me."

Luo Chen got on the carriage, but the old man never left, as if waiting for something.

Luo Chen was puzzled and saw the blue brick and stone wall again through the carriage curtain.

"What are you waiting for, old man?"

Luo Chen couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Wait for the way and ask less questions.

The old man opened his mouth and reminded Luo Chen again. Luo Chen shut up and stopped talking.

Time passed by about one or two sticks of incense, and just when Luo Chen was yawning, he was suddenly surprised to find that the blue brick and stone wall that had previously blocked him was fading at the speed of the naked eye.

In the hazy moon, the old man yelled, and the carriage rushed towards the blue brick and stone wall that had not faded. At this moment, Luo Chen's pupils were constantly enlarging, and he hit, was about to hit!

However, what surprised Luo Chen was that the wall he imagined did not appear. Instead, he passed directly through it. At the moment when the carriage passed through the blue brick and stone wall, the originally diluted wall solidified again.

In the carriage, Luo Chen stuck his head out and looked back, the expression on his face solidified.

"Look less."

The old man's voice sounded from the front of the carriage.

Luo Chen opened his mouth and heard the old man say again: "Stop talking."

The words are stuck in the throat and cannot be spit out or swallowed. It is very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Luo Chen sat up straight in the carriage, closed his eyes and stopped thinking. After half a stick of incense, the sound of metal banging was heard outside the carriage. Luo Chen was curious, but thinking of the old man's instructions, he suppressed his curiosity.

Come down.

The carriage did not go directly to Douhun Pavilion, but stopped outside the main hall.

"Commander Shang, people are here."

The old man spoke. Luo Chen tensed up and got out of the carriage. Commander Shang raised his brows and flashed a hint of surprise.

"Hey, boy, have we met somewhere?"

Luo Chen cursed in his heart. The last time he got lost, he almost sent him to the water prison to be executed.

Mu De, bad luck.

"Why is there only one? Isn't there another one?"

Commander Shang frowned and looked at the old man.

"Only one came."

The old man looked dull. Commander Shang cursed a few words and let the old man go.

"This old thing."

After a few more curses, Commander Shang pointed Luo Chen to wait here and entered the main hall alone. When he came out again, he was surrounded by a group of people.

There were eight young men in gray robes, and behind these young men, Luo Chen also saw a large group of figures. Among these figures, he saw Wei Hao, Zuo Tao, Mo Cheng, Zuo Linglong, etc., all of them

He is the genius from Licheng who attended the government banquet last time!

Luo Chen pulled out the corners of his eyes, and all these people who were supposed to be dead appeared in front of him, as if they were fake corpses.

"Luo Chen."

Zuo Linglong smiled and waved at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen's body was stiff, but the girl was lively and cheerful, smiling at him.

"Ashamed to be associated with him!"

Wei Hao snorted coldly and turned around to align with Zuo Tao.

"Okay, it's all one of ten, and then we have to join forces to participate in the Hundred Battle, Luo Chen."

Zheng Tao shook his head at Wei Hao, then nodded kindly at Luo Chen.
