"In other words, this is the source of the thing we are looking for?" Duan Rongrong asked in a low voice.
"Yin Qi with this level of concentration...may not necessarily be..." Yan Kai shook his head slightly.
At this time, Lu Sheng had already begun to invite several strange people to show off their skills.
The Taoist who spoke before laughed.
"This is what a poor Taoist knows."
He reached out and grabbed a stone. He found a stone from nowhere, held it in his hand and squeezed it hard.
Whoa...
Fine stone powder suddenly squeezed out from between his fingers and drifted down in the wind.
The other people around him looked at him in surprise.
Obviously, even the strongest masters in Jiulian City may not be able to achieve this kind of skill.
The ranger who was disguised as a man stared at this man with solemn eyes.
Even Yan Kai also paid attention to this man.
To be able to crush rocks into powder with such strength requires extremely powerful internal skills. I never expected to meet such a master here.
Among the guards, maids and servants around, some couldn't help but let out low voices.
Lu Sheng stared at the Taoist without saying anything, just frowning.
The Taoist laughed.
"How's it going? Young Master, can Pindao's hand still catch your eye?"
Lu Sheng slowly exhaled.
Suddenly his eyes sharpened.
"This is clearly the smell of fossil powder! Where does this liar come from? How dare you fool me! Take it down for me!"
The people around him were suddenly stunned.
Before they could react, two strong guards rushed over and pushed the man to the ground.
The Taoist screamed and struggled, but he was held down by two people at this time, and there was no trace of the domineering inner strength that he had just crushed the stone into powder.
He's just an ordinary person.
The tall guard on the side asked in a rough voice. He was one of the guards who saw the eldest son show off his might and kill the female ghost last night. At this time, he had completely become the most loyal supporter of the eldest son Lu Sheng.
"Master, what should I do with this person? Do you want to notify the Yamen people?"
Lu Sheng looked at the struggling Taoist on the ground with disgust.
"No need to send him to the official, just take him out and chop him down."
"No! Sir, the young one is just confused for a moment and wants to make some money to live! It's just a temporary obsession!"
When the Taoist heard this, he was immediately frightened and begged loudly for mercy. His whole body was shaking like chaff, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely.
“Young Master, please spare my life!!”
"yes!"
The guard, a big man, ignored him and led others to drag the Taoist out of the courtyard.
There is a torture chamber next to the school grounds specifically for executions.
The Lu family was so powerful that they executed several people themselves, and the Yamen turned a blind eye.
Yan Kai and the others watched in shock as they watched the man being dragged out. Soon they heard a faint scream coming from outside.
"Okay, everyone, after we have cleared up the bad guys, now let's ask the next person to show off their skills."
Lu Sheng returned to his previous soft smiling expression.
The remaining people also have a deeper understanding of the temperament of this eldest son of the Lu family.
He seems to be weak in body and bones, but he always turns against him, acts decisively, and is ruthless in his actions. He is truly a character.
After a while of silence, the second person to come out was Master Zhentan, a monk from Honglian Temple. This master's hands were a little shaky, but he still had the courage to stand up.
"The poor monk... The poor monk suddenly remembered that there are urgent matters to be done in the temple..."
He came out not to show off his skills, but to prepare to run away.
Master Zhentan faced Lu Sheng and was sweating on his forehead when he spoke.
The younger monk behind him was even more miserable. Not only was his forehead sweating, his face was pale, and his feet were shaking non-stop.
"Since Master has something important to deal with, please go ahead."
Lu Sheng smiled, still gentle and polite, and did not embarrass the two of them. He immediately asked the maid to lead Master Zhentan away.
Three people came at once.
There are three people left, namely the ranger and Yan Kai.
"Next, I'll do it."
The ranger dressed as a man stepped forward and pulled out the two swords at his waist.
"I'm good at Qinggong, short-distance and long-distance running, and tracking and investigation. I should be able to help find the missing persons."
"Oh? So, what should I call this young lady?"
Lu Sheng smiled.
"Expert Bee."
"Chuanfeng?" Lu Sheng was stunned.
The female ranger quickly wrote two words on the stone table with her hands.
Only then did everyone realize that her last name was Zhu.
"So, Miss Zhanfeng, I don't know how to show off your skills?"
Lu Sheng looked slightly curious.
The bee sniffed its nose, squatted down, and checked carefully on the ground. Then it put its ears close to the ground to listen.
After a while, she stood up.
"I can judge, Mr. Lu, that it will take no more than two hours for you people to come here and to this villa.
There should be two groups of guards and maids coming in and out to clean the place. There should be no more than ten people in total, and the time should be an hour ago.
Then the eldest son arrived, and neither the eldest son nor the guards around you had ever entered the room in the other courtyard.
Obviously this yard was temporarily opened specifically for testing us. Even you didn't have time to enter the room."
These words were spoken.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng and the others opened their eyes wide. Not only them, but also the guards and maids standing around looked like they had seen a ghost.
Just by lying on the ground, looking, listening, and smelling, you can judge so many things.
This Miss Zhuanfeng is really a strange person!
"sharp!"
Lu Sheng applauded gently.
"Miss Zhuanfeng, no matter how you judged it, you passed the test. Next, there are these two..."
He looked at Yan Kai and the two.
Yan Kai was okay, but Duan Rongrong was so embarrassed by this young master.
A man who had been smiling just now turned against him immediately, and immediately pulled him down and chopped him down.
This kind of person, even if he smiles at you, you don't know if he is planning to kill you the next moment?
Duan Rongrong has already defined Mr. Lu as a dangerous person.
Yan Kai looked calm and took a step forward.
"If I'm not wrong."
He stared at Lu Sheng with sharp eyes.
"Master Lu's injuries were caused by the invasion of Yin energy, right?"
"oh?"
Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows, he was really interested this time.
The man in front of me could actually see something.
"The injury should be in the lower abdomen, but fortunately it did not damage the internal organs. However, if the yin energy enters the body and is not expelled, the yang energy will eventually be injured.
This is a little yang-returning water made by poor Taoists. If you are brave enough, you can try it by taking it."
He took out a small black porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it over.
The maid at the side quickly took it, put it on a tray, and brought it to Lu Sheng.
"Remember to return the bottle to me after drinking." Yan Kai added.
Lu Sheng looked at the porcelain bottle, picked it up, pulled out the cork, put it under his nose and smelled it.
Just by smelling it, he felt that the coldness in his body was dissipated. A hot smell penetrated his nostrils from the bottle, making his whole body feel warm.
It was indeed because he was slapped on the lower abdomen before, and after returning to his room to rest, he felt cold all over. The injury on his body was secondary, mainly because this coldness was always lingering in his body, whether he was taking Yang-tonifying herbs or exercising in the sun
, all useless.
At that time, after taking positive drugs or exercising, my whole body would feel warm to some extent, but once I rested, the cold feeling in my body would return with a vengeance.
Looking at the porcelain bottle in front of him, Lu Sheng smiled, picked it up and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.
A faint smell of rust filled the mouth, and along with the spicy and stimulating smell, a stream of heat slid down the throat.
Lu Sheng took a long breath and felt warm all over his body, just like the ninety o'clock sun in summer, basking on his body and making him feel comfortable.
The previous coldness melted rapidly in the sunshine like spring snow, and soon it was no longer felt.
"The Taoist master is really powerful." Now Lu Sheng knew that he had met an expert. "This bottle of yang-returning water will be included in the reward."
"So I passed?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Of course! You three are coming with me."
Lu Sheng stood up slowly, let the guards support him, and led the three of them into the inner room of Huanghe Courtyard.
The maids all left one after another, and all the guards also went out. Only the burly man from before remained, guarding Lu Sheng.
Click.
The door is closed.
There were only five people in the room.
"The specific process is like this..."
Lu Sheng started talking about the first time a missing person occurred.
Yan Kai and the others listened carefully and asked some detailed questions from time to time.
Lu Sheng answered what he knew, and what he didn't know, the burly man next to him added.
The conversation lasted for half an hour.
After Yan Kai understood all the situation, he lowered his head and thought for a while.
After a while he raised his head again.
"The kind of ghosts you encounter, I call them monsters."
"Ghost? What is this?"
Lu Sheng asked back, this was his real first contact with the mysterious side of this world.
"Ghosts and demons themselves are not transformed after death, but are ghosts condensed out of human resentment, jealousy, hatred, grievance, and other emotions, absorbing some mysterious forces in the surrounding environment." Yan Kai said solemnly.
"One or two monsters are easy to deal with, but once left alone for a long time, the infection will continue to spread, killing more people, and then transform into new monsters.
Judging from the concentration of Yin Qi on the eldest son’s body, the demon you came into contact with must have been left unchecked for quite some time.”
"Let it go for a while... So, I don't know how many monsters there are in Jiulian City..."
Lu Sheng's expression changed slightly.
"It's very possible." Yan Kai nodded. "Okay, let's leave this matter to Pindao. The young master can just recover at home. However, Pindao is only responsible for dealing with monsters, but if you find someone..."
"I'll find someone," Zhuan Feng said. "I've encountered this kind of ghostly thing several times before, and I have some experience."
Lu Sheng nodded in agreement.
"Then Taoist Priest, I wonder what I can do for you?"
He now believes that the Taoist priest Yan Kai in front of him should be a legendary professional.
"This monster is not something you can deal with. It is urgent. Since you have already messed with it, you'd better move away from Jiulian City immediately so as not to become the food that nourishes the monster."
Yan Kai said calmly.
"In addition, we are here to investigate the whole story of the Xu family's extermination case."
"I want to do my best."
Lu Sheng said seriously.
"If I say you don't need it, don't use it. No matter how many ordinary people come, it's useless. Even if you have practiced some martial arts, you will only become a burden to us.
Martial arts are useless against ghosts!"
Yan Kai spoke bluntly with a frown.
Duan Rongrong, who was listening on the side, broke into a cold sweat, if she angered Mr. Lu in front of her...
Lu Sheng still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yan Kai.
"Okay, needless to say, this is not something you ordinary people can get involved with."
