Chapter 127 The Lu Family Changes Their Families, All Living Beings Are the Same
Qingyun Town, shrouded in darkness at night, is particularly peaceful.
The men who have lived here for generations are accustomed to sleeping with their aunts in their arms after dark and doing whatever they need to do.
Although the shabby and short city of Qingyunmen can always resist some not so powerful monsters, every few years, on a dark night, many people in the town will die inexplicably. The older the people are, the more they die.
The more convinced I am.
Fortunately, the longer the night, the more little lives will be in the town in the coming summer and autumn.
As generations go by, the town's population always neither increases nor decreases, maintaining a strange balance.
The vast majority of people in Qingyun Town believe in a simple truth: as long as I go to bed earlier than others, the life-threatening rope that takes my life in the middle of the night will not be tied around the neck of someone who goes to bed early.
But ever since a cultivator appeared in the Lu family on West Street ten years ago, people no longer believe in the town's oldest legend.
The Lu family exclusively occupies a high-gate compound with deep alleys and two pots of fire in front of the door, making sounds in the cold wind.
The news of Lu Zhan's death has not yet spread in Qingyun Town, and the Lu family has a very high reputation in the town.
Whether it is Lu Zhan's status as an elder of the Qingyun Sect or his past achievements in slaying demons, he is regarded as a god in the hearts of the people in this small town.
In a few years, the Lu family has collected most of the wealth in Qingyun Town.
The courtyard deep in the alley.
The figures of the core members of the Lu family were reflected on the wall, swaying slightly in the wind.
People in the small town cannot peek into the deep courtyard, and naturally they cannot feel the undercurrents.
It's freezing cold.
Dozens of people from the Lu family are fighting for power in the dark!
Lu Zhan is dead.
The old housekeeper who cut out his own tongue didn't even bring back Lu Zhan's body, but only brought the news of Lu Zhan and Lu Chen's death.
But the more this happened, the more the Lu family became uneasy.
Lu Zhan was killed by the head of the Qingyun Sect, this detail is very important.
Lu Zhan could protect the Lu family from misbehaving in Qingyun Town, but he could not stop the anger of the Qingyun Sect.
Their backer is gone.
The rope, which had been working in the wrong direction from the beginning, suddenly lost its direction.
Everyone has their own thoughts, or they want to have new people to talk about.
This is perfectly normal.
The old man of the Lu family, dressed in rich clothes, sat on a large chair, looking at the descendants who were noisily trying to divide the property, and suddenly said: "Any one of you wants to be the master, as long as you take the head of that boy from the Gu family.
Take it back and enshrine it in front of the ancestral hall, and whoever it is will be the next head of the family."
Everyone in the Lu family looked at each other, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
"Old man, has that boy really learned his skills?"
"Not only did he learn the skills, but he also came back alone. This boy received the task of guarding Qingyun Town from the sect and wanted to protect the safety of this area. If this is the case, what is the use of raising so many people in our Lu family? Just put the ones dedicated to the Bodhisattva
Bring the knife tip to the door of Gu's house."
Lu Shuming's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stood up with a cane. Although he was old, his body made a tiger's roar.
The crutch in his hand is not used to support his body, but to control the Lu family.
The moment he stood up, a powerful wave of energy shocked everyone present in the Lu family.
"Lu Zhan is dead, do you think the Lu family is going to fall?"
Lu Shuming took a step forward, the aura on his body rose again, his bones creaked, and the candlelight projected on the wall reflected a fierce tiger.
"It's just a matter of putting more effort into cultivating one more person."
The door of the hall opened without any wind. Lu Shuming stared at the stone statue that was hung with red cloth and stood in the yard. His eyes became more and more profound. He turned back and said coldly: "If you can't deal with the leader of a faction, you can't deal with it."
A fugitive son? Who among you is going to take his head?"
No one answered.
The people of the Lu family know this very well.
A true practitioner, even if he has only practiced for three years, has abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
not to mention.
Several servants sent out at dusk have not returned yet.
I'm afraid it's already cold.
"Don't you need me to do it myself?"
Lu Shuming's robe fluttered slightly.
The sudden cold wind caused the torches in the courtyard to flicker.
despair.
despair.
The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted everyone's thoughts.
When people saw a foot stepping into the yard, a cold voice followed: "Mr. Lu, there is no need to send anyone, I will do it myself."
call!
A gust of wind blew by.
Gu Yusheng's figure became increasingly clear in the Lu family's compound.
"Oh?" Lu Shuming's old face showed no signs of wavering, and there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, "People who come back after learning skills always think that they are invincible. Now that you are here, just stay."
Swish swish swish.
Several strong figures ran towards Gu Yusheng.
They were holding cold weapons and martial arts swords, and they were even more stained with blood.
Under the flickering firelight.
People saw a burst of sword energy blooming from Gu Yusheng's body.
In an instant, the servants holding knives fell to the ground strangely.
The flesh on Lu Shuming's face twitched.
The Lu family behind them looked even more frightened.
One person yelled: "Boy from the Gu family, do you know what a heinous crime it is for a practitioner to attack a mortal!"
"People in this small town even have to pay demon-slaying fees to your Lu family for burning charcoal. Are you still a mortal?"
Gu Yusheng stepped forward and his eyes fell on the old man of the Lu family.
"Since the principles of your Lu family are the principles of Qingyun Town, then I also have my principles."
Gu Yusheng condensed his sword with his fingers.
Lift slightly.
The sword energy bursting out from his fingertips instantly penetrated the torches.
Accompanied by bursts of muffled groans, the air was filled with the smell of blood.
"you!"
Lu Shuming's face showed deep shock.
Wow!
The buttons on his clothes burst open, his bones crackled, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body transformed into a humanoid tiger.
The blood that filled the air gradually gathered towards him.
Demonized?
Gu Yusheng frowned slightly. The old guy in front of him was a little different from Lu Chen. Gu Yusheng didn't quite understand the specific differences.
A whistle.
The burning torches in the courtyard turned into balls of fireworks, attacking Gu Yusheng from different directions.
Gu Yusheng's figure flashed.
Escaped eerily.
Appeared behind Lu Shuming.
A sword energy penetrated Lu Shuming's heart from behind.
Lu Shuming staggered, blood dripping on the white snow.
He moved forward step by step, using his last strength to hug the stone statue standing in the courtyard.
suddenly.
A dark wind blew out all the candlelight.
Unprecedented darkness descended on the compound.
Although Gu Yusheng's eyesight was amazing, he could not see clearly what was around him.
When that sinister wind appeared, his heart beat violently.
The inexplicable feeling of palpitations made him subconsciously draw out the wooden sword.
He injected his spiritual power into the wooden sword, and with the light of the sword energy, it illuminated the Lu family's courtyard. Gu Yusheng's eyes were focused on the stone statue. The blood of the Lu family was activating the magic that appeared on that stone statue little by little.
Underneath the stone statue wrapped in dim runes and red cloth, the god seemed to be coming to life.
An ancient aura sent chills down Gu Yusheng's back.
When Gu Yusheng saw this, without any hesitation in his eyes, he moved his wrist and used Tian Ming Di Mie.
The sword's light is divided into two layers, and the upper part illuminates the courtyard like a blazing sun.
A dark crack appeared below the stone statue, opening like an abyss of hell.
Click!
In the cracked stone statue, there seemed to be an unknown spirit like a ghost swimming and waking up.
The power that made Gu Yusheng's heart palpitate became stronger and stronger.
The feeling of oppression was even greater than that of the ancient ferocious bird that appeared above the Qingyun Gate Mountain Guard Formation.
"What on earth is..."
Sweat broke out on Gu Yusheng's forehead unconsciously.
Fortunately, the unknown spirit body that had not yet fully awakened was swallowed up by the sword light emerging from a dark crack, as if being pulled into a different world.
The breath of terror suddenly dissipated.
It was as if everything just now was just an illusion.
Gu Yusheng flicked his finger, and several torches on the wall ignited.
The scene in the courtyard became clear again: strange blood mist was still gathering towards the stone statue, and the people of the Lu family quietly turned into white bones.
Gu Yusheng looked at the stone statue again.
Swinging the sword forcefully.
Wow.
That stone statue was scattered on the ground like a pile of rubble.
Gu Yusheng stared at it for a long time.
Then he approached cautiously.
He casually took a picture and held a stone in his hand - it was indeed just an ordinary stone.
But the terrifying aura just now was still lingering in Gu Yusheng's mind for a long time.
When Gu Yusheng returned home, he sat cross-legged and practiced all night.
Fortunately, nothing strange happened again that night.
After dawn.
Someone discovered that something happened to the Lu family.
There was no living person in that tall deep courtyard.
After the people in the town were shocked, they first set off firecrackers, then picked up incense and paper money, and came to the stone statue at the entrance of the village to worship devoutly.
Gu Yusheng, who was wrapped in spiritual energy, stood at the door of the alley, watching this scene quietly.
Early morning a few days later.
When Gu Yusheng went out, he found a cart of burning charcoal at the door.
He knew who sent it, but he didn't understand why the charcoal seller's son still had to deliver charcoal in the dark.
It wasn't until he passed by West Street again that he discovered that Master Shangguan lived again inside the tall courtyard gate of the Lu family.
They are still doing the same business that the Lu family did before.
The son of a charcoal seller cannot freely burn charcoal and sell it.
The people in Qingyun Town are still the same as before, talking about topics that have not changed for thousands of years after dinner. Regarding the mysterious disappearance of the Lu family, everyone believes that the gods that have been passed down for thousands of years punish the evildoers.
It doesn't matter who dies.
As long as they live.
They will celebrate each other with joy.
Then continue living day after day.
In Jiutang Lane, Gu Yusheng was picking up fallen leaves in the courtyard.
Grandma Sun knocked on the door and entered the courtyard with a bamboo basket. When she saw that there were still fallen leaves where Gu Yusheng had swept, she stopped and asked earnestly: "My child, what have you realized in the past few days?"
Gu Yusheng put down his broom, bowed to Granny Sun and said, "Senior is an expert outside the world, please teach me the truth."
After hearing Gu Yusheng's words, Grandma Sun's rickety body straightened slightly.
"You kid is very thoughtful. Is it the girl from Qixiufang who revealed my true identity?"
