Lu Sheng sighed in his heart. In this family, the only ones he had the heart to protect were his father, Lu Quan'an, Erniang, and Xiaoqiao.
The rest of the people had no emotions at all. Lu Qingqing was ruined, but they were not very sad. Even Lu Yingying, as a younger sister, said such things, which shows her cold nature.
Although he and Lu Qingqing had no feelings at all, when he thought of Er Niang's situation and what Yan Kai said before.
His original expectations fell to the bottom, and Lu Sheng was also disappointed.
After being depressed for a while, he regained his mood.
Although he is an ordinary person, he has modifiers. Even if he cannot practice the spirit-killing method, he is not necessarily worse than them.
He didn't believe that he couldn't deal with monsters and other monsters by his own strength.
"Let's put aside the minor matters for now. When we have the opportunity in the future, we can also seek medical treatment from a doctor.
But there is another thing that cannot be delayed.
I learned from Taoist Master Yan Kai that there are still many ghosts lurking in Jiulian City, so we must take precautions." Lu Sheng said solemnly.
"There are many more?" Lu Quan'an was startled, and everyone else was also shocked.
The ghosts like before couldn't be defeated by more people, but there are actually many ghosts like that!?
"This is absolutely terrible!!"
Wu Niang suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Shut up!"
Lu Quan'an slapped the armrest of the chair hard.
Wu Niang was so frightened that she trembled all over and sat down again.
Lu Sheng glanced at the whole family. They all looked like frosted eggplants. They suddenly lost their energy. His eyes were full of panic and confusion.
"So, my suggestion is that our Lu family should move out of Jiulian City immediately while it is still safe."
Lu Quan'an shook his head.
"It's no longer possible. A death order came from above. No one from the four families is allowed to leave Jiulian City. I didn't know what this order was about before, but now that I think about it..."
Lu Sheng's heart felt cold.
Is this someone from the imperial court deliberately cooperating? Or is it just a coincidence?
"Are you leaving in pieces?" Siniang asked in a low voice. "Isn't Big Brother here..."
"No." Lu Quanan shook his head. "When I went to the city gate before, my eldest brother didn't see me. He just sent a message. Now even the prefect is not allowed to leave the city."
Suddenly everyone fell silent. Everyone looked at Lu Sheng.
It was Lu Sheng who turned the tide and solved the issue of the female ghost crying in the house.
"Now..." Lu Sheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I can only stay in the house and purchase as much food, grain and meat as possible to make 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 Quan'an regained his energy a little at this time and nodded.
boom!!
At this moment, the ground shook and shook.
A huge explosion suddenly came from the west direction of the city.
Lu Sheng was so excited that he jumped up and rushed out of the hall, looking towards the western sky.
There was a red flame rising into the sky. Apparently something exploded and caused the 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 calls 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 towards the gate of the mansion.
I just left the door and asked my servants to lead the horses out.
Lu Sheng then saw many people with swords on the street in front of the gate of Lu Mansion, rushing towards the fire.
Each of these people had quick steps, and they all seemed to be practitioners. The look in their eyes when they looked at the fire was not the surprise and panic that Lu Sheng had imagined, but rather a hint of greed and desire.
Lian Jiazi passed by the gate of Lu Mansion. Lu Sheng only stood at the gate for more than ten seconds when he saw three groups passing by.
Some of them were galloping on horseback, some were sprinting on foot, and there were men and women, old and young.
But most of them are not locals near Jiulian City.
Their clothes are more exquisite and delicate than the locals, and they often wear small accessories and other decorations. You can tell at a glance that they are mostly from the Central Plains.
Waiting for the servant who was also frightened, he tried his best to bring the horse.
Lu Sheng patted Jianma, who was frightened and struggling, and was about to turn over. Then he saw two familiar faces among the Lianjiazi passing by on the street.
Duanmuwan and the male guard who had been inseparable from her side were galloping toward the fire.
Duanmuwan wore a black gauze dress and a bamboo bamboo hat. A bit of her graceful figure could still be seen through the gauze dress.
When she passed by Lu Mansion, she also saw Lu Sheng and let out a light sigh.
"Are you not dead yet?"
She suddenly said this, and then she spurred her horse to slow down slightly and stared at Lu Sheng as if she was looking at some strange animal.
"What does Miss Duanmu mean by this?"
Lu Sheng's eyebrows darkened, not understanding what the other party meant.
"Interesting." Duanmu Wan smiled. "It seems that we are really destined. I will come to see you again later."
Lu Sheng still wanted to ask questions, but he saw Duanmuwan riding his horse and taking the male guard with him, speeding up and rushing towards the fire.
Before leaving, the man also looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.
That look is like...
It was like seeing someone who was supposed to be dead, suddenly alive.
Lu Sheng got on his horse and originally wanted to follow him.
But immediately a voice stopped him, it was Yan Kai.
"Master 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 toward the fire.
At this time, seeing that Lu Sheng was also planning to follow, Yan Kai had to give a warning.
"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 deliberately. There is so much resentment over there that if ordinary people get close, they will lose their minds and their lives will be in danger!" Yan Kai said solemnly. "Even if he beats the young master in martial arts,
There will be no second result."
"But I saw a lot of people rushing over before..." Lu Sheng was confused.
"Those people are seeking death on their own, and no one can save them. Moreover, it seems that someone specially lures them there." Yan Kai said indifferently.
Lu Sheng was silent.
This feeling of watching something big happening near home without knowing what happened made him feel very bad.
Thinking that Yan Kai was kindly reminding him, he raised his hands and saluted him.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for reminding me."
Yan Kai nodded at him and led Duan Rongrong to rush towards the fire.
When Lu Sheng saw this, he immediately understood that Duan Rongrong and Zhuan Feng might have something special about them and were not ordinary people.
In other words, they simply had another purpose and made a special trip to Jiulian City, a small city located near the Bingyang Ocean in the North.
After thinking about this, he got off his horse again and walked towards Yan.
"Taoist Priest, Miss Bee, why don't I arrange a horse ride there to make it faster!"
Yan Kai was stunned and immediately realized that Lu Sheng was selling him a favor.
Thinking of what might happen if you rush over here, it's important to save your energy.
He nodded quickly.
"This will cause trouble!"
Lu Sheng immediately asked Qi Qi to lead the horse and quickly recovered his senses.
"No, there's no need to hold the horse. The stable is right next to it. Come on! Take the three Taoist priests to the stable to pick a horse. You can choose any horse!!"
Lu Sheng said loudly.
"Master Sheng is righteous!"
Yan Kai crossed his fists and hurried to the stables with the guards.
Lu Sheng stood alone at the door of Lu Mansion, with only a few uninformed guards around him.
He looked in the direction of the fire and fell silent for a moment.
The fire lasted for an unknown amount of time before slowly dimming and extinguishing.
Lu Sheng also stood at the door of the house for the same length of 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 drifted up or the black clouds.
Soon, a long and heavy rain came down.
Lu Quan'an also came out and stood next to Lu Sheng. A servant set up an awning for the two of them.
The raindrops hit the ground, splashing a layer of white mist.
The sky was dim and bright, and it was almost dawn. The whole night passed without realizing it.
Lu Sheng stood at the gate, deep in thought.
He had a premonition that something extremely important had happened in the fire explosion last night.
It happened right outside his door.
It's a pity that his strength is so low that he doesn't even dare to get close.
He could see that Yan Kai did not lie to him. What happened last night was indeed something that ordinary people could not get close to.
"The fire should be out now. I received news that a lot of fireworks exploded at a fireworks shop in the west of the city. The fire started and many people died..."
Lu Quan'an sighed.
"Fireworks shop..." Lu Sheng repeated, looking towards the west of the city.
The sky has gradually turned white, and the edges have completely turned into a mixture of blue and white.
Lu Sheng tightened the knife on his waist and walked towards the fire.
"Dad, I'll go over there and have a look."
"Be careful." Lu Quan'an didn't know there was something behind the fire, but he just felt that Jiuliancheng was not peaceful recently, so he quickly warned him.
"Know!"
Lu Sheng left the house and headed west of the city.
At first I couldn't see anything, but as I got closer and closer to the fire.
Some houses and streets gradually began to turn gray and black, and many people were homeless holding luggage, quilts and the like on the streets.
There were cries, voices, noises, and noises, all in a commotion.
Lu Sheng hurried forward for a while.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people, and the houses on both sides were completely charred. Some houses were burned down, and there were large holes in the roofs.
From time to time, you can see some charred and burned corpses on the ground. Such skeletons and remains are everywhere.
The closer he got, the more frightened Lu Sheng became.
There are so many skeletal remains. I don’t know how many people died in the explosion and fire last night.
Soon, Lu Sheng saw the core of the fire explosion.
It's not a fireworks shop, but another residence of the prefect Song Duanchi - Pearl Mansion.
The entire Pearl Mansion collapsed in disarray, with large and small piles of ruins appearing one after another around it, like tombs of different sizes.
Lu Sheng also saw not only him coming, but also many Jianghu people wearing swords and weapons, wandering around nearby, seeming to be looking for something.
These Jianghu people keep a distance from each other, have wary eyes, and have more or less aura on their bodies. It is obvious that they are not the practitioners of Jiulian City itself.
He also saw that from time to time these people in the world would dig out some random things from the rubble and quickly put them into their arms.
