"Brother Lu, look at your face, have you discovered anything unusual?" Li Shunxi couldn't help but ask again.
A group of people searched for a while but found no one, so they began to meet under the dead tree in the center of the courtyard.
When Lu Sheng heard this, he just looked around.
They were the only people in the dark courtyard, and the surrounding rooms were empty, with no lights or movement.
"Is there anyone who hasn't come? Where is that girl Gong Rumeng?" he suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized that Gong Rumeng was not in the team, but Gong Ruqing's expression froze.
"Isn't my sister right behind me?" she said in astonishment. She could feel someone following her along the way. She had said a few words to her sister just now.
"Are you sure?" Lu Sheng glanced at her.
Everyone also looked at Gong Ruqing at this time.
There was a woman in a white dress standing behind her, but her cheeks were covered by Gong Ruqing's hair, so no one saw her face for a while. They thought she was Gong Rumeng.
At this time, the woman stood quietly behind Gong Ruqing, motionless, with her hands hanging down.
"But it's clear behind me..." Gong Ruqing's face turned pale. She saw the eyes of everyone looking behind her, and they all began to become frightened and weird.
Since her sister Gong Rumeng is not behind her, then who is this woman who has been following her!?
Gong Ruqing's whole body was covered with chills and goosebumps were covered from head to toe.
Her body trembled and she turned around slowly.
"Don't turn around!!" Li Shunxi rushed forward, grabbed Gong Ruqing's shoulders, and pulled him towards him.
puff!
The two immediately bumped into each other.
At the same time, a little silver light flew out of Li Shunxi's hand, which seemed to be a dart, and he hit the woman in the white dress with a bang.
At this moment, everyone's eyes blurred, and the woman in the white dress disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The silver light fell on the ground, spun a few times, and then stopped. It turned out to be a palm-sized silver top.
Li Shunxi's entire body was pressed against Gong Ruqing's body, and their postures were ambiguous. Gong Ruqing was extremely frightened and hugged him tightly like an octopus, not daring to let go at all.
"Miss Qingqing, it's okay, it's okay...let me go first." Li Shunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Only then did everyone react, and the two guards quickly stepped forward to help the two of them up.
Lu Sheng frowned, and Duan Meng'an beside him was scared to death. He was sweating all over and was still shaking.
"Old...Boss...let's leave this village first..."
Lu Sheng rolled his eyes at him and didn't reply. No one could clearly see the face of the woman in the white dress just now, nor how she disappeared.
It should be that Li Shunxi's stuff really worked.
"That's Nian Po. Please don't distract me... The danger of Nian Po... is difficult to explain clearly. Anyway, from now on, please don't leave within ten meters of me." After Li Shunxi stood up, he solemnly warned.
."If I guessed correctly, the most likely key to Zhuangzi is these dead trees."
He pointed to the dead tree in the yard and whispered.
Lu Sheng glanced at this man.
"Brother Li, what do you think?"
Li Shunxi said calmly: "If we want to find those people who disappeared before, maybe we should destroy all the dead trees in this village first."
"Dead tree?" Lu Sheng's expression remained unchanged.
"I suspect that these trees are the root of this Zhuangzi formation, so on one hand we need to destroy the dead trees, and on the other hand, we also need to find a metal object in the middle bedroom. That should be the real formation in this Zhuangzi
Eyes." Li Shunxi continued.
"We can try to walk in the direction away from Zhuangzi." Lu Sheng suddenly interrupted.
Li Shunxi paused for a moment and looked at Lu Sheng seriously.
"It seems that Brother Lu and I have different opinions. There is no use in leaving Zhuangzi now."
"Try it." Lu Sheng said calmly.
Li Shunxi stared at Lu Sheng for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Okay, since Brother Lu said so, we can also send these people who can't help out first and ensure their safety."
"But my sister!" Gong Ruqing's pretty face turned pale and she asked.
"We will come back to find her again." Li Shunxi comforted her with a smile, stretched out her hand and gently hugged her into her arms.
Gong Ruqing blushed, but at this time, she was without a master, and Li Shunxi was her only support. In addition, Li Shunxi was either rich or noble at first glance, and his net worth was probably much stronger than hers. It was normal for her to be a little flirty.
.
Being hugged at this time, Gong Ruqing struggled a little, then did not resist anymore and allowed him to hug her gently.
"Don't worry, with Brother Lu and me here, your sister will be fine." Li Shunxi assured with a smile.
"Yes!" Gong Ruqing frowned and nodded gently.
The rest of the surrounding guards also breathed a sigh of relief. This Zhuangzi was really weird. It seemed that if they hadn't dared to leave alone, they would have left the young lady and escaped long ago. Being able to leave now is just in line with their wishes.
Duan Meng'an was also overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.
A group of people unanimously agreed and began to walk towards the exit of Zhuangzi's gate.
Halfway through, everyone felt something was wrong.
The main gate of Zhuangzi was obviously not far away, but after walking hundreds of steps, we were still more than ten meters away from the main gate.
Li Shunxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Sheng. Look, he was right.
"Young Master..." Duan Meng'an followed closely behind Lu Sheng, trembling all over. "We...did we... bump into a ghost...?"
Lu Sheng's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
"There is indeed a problem!"
Li Shunxi stood aside and said coldly, "There should be a famous place in the cellar. I plan to go and see it again. Brother Lu, will you come with us? That should be the hometown of Zhuangzi."
Lu Sheng shook his head slightly.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here."
Li Shunxi was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Lu, are you serious?"
"Of course." Lu Sheng replied seriously.
Li Shunxi looked at Lu Sheng carefully and smiled slightly.
"Okay, everyone, let's see who you plan to follow. I'll go to the cellar, and Brother Lu will stay here."
Gong Ruqing and the two guards looked around.
Li Shunxi stood on one side, with a wind-like appearance and an extraordinary temperament. Lu Sheng stood on the other side, with a gloomy temperament and an indifferent expression.
"Little girl, it's better to go with Mr. Li." Gong Ruqing decisively chose Li Shunxi.
"We are also with Mr. Li!" the two guards said quickly. Li Shunxi had shown a series of methods before, which were obviously much more convincing and reliable than Lu Sheng, who had always been dull.
Duan Meng'an also swayed and wanted to follow. But after looking at Lu Sheng standing in front of him, he didn't dare to move.
This time there were four people on Li Shunxi's side and two on Lu Sheng's side.
Both sides are dressed as young men from wealthy families, but the difference in the number of people is very clear.
"In that case, I wish Brother Lu a safe stay here." With an inexplicable meaning in his tone, Li Shunxi turned around and led everyone towards the backyard.
Gong Ruqing and others all showed slight contempt. This young master was obviously just timid and wanted to protect himself wisely. Compared with Mr. Li's benevolence and righteousness in saving people, he didn't know how much.
Lu Sheng watched the other party leave without saying a word.
............
Li Shunxi walked along the side of the house, his beautiful red phoenix eyes thoughtful. He couldn't understand why Lu Sheng suddenly decided to stay at the door.
In that case, staying at the door is of no use and will only be a waste of time.
"Brother Lu, I don't know what he was thinking, but..." Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a chill rush up his back. He turned around suddenly.
It was dark behind him, there was no sound at all, it was quiet and empty. Gong Ruqing and his group who were by his side just now, actually not one of them was left at this time, they all disappeared??
"Miss Qingqing?" Li Shunxi's face tightened and she shouted loudly.
The voice echoed in the village at night, but no one responded.
"A blind trick?" He quickly took out a piece of yellow talisman paper in his hand, gently threw it forward, and pierced it accurately with his index finger.
Suddenly his eyes suddenly lit up, and the figures of Gong Ruqing and others appeared around him again. Everyone was frozen in place, only their eyes were moving around, and their pupils were dilated, unable to focus at all.
Li Shunxi knew at a glance that they were all trapped in a trap. He also took out the talisman and pointed it at everyone.
"Miss Qingqing, are you okay?" He quickly supported Gong Ruqing, who was a little weak.
"No...it's okay..." Gong Ruqing's pretty face turned pale, as if she was frightened.
After helping Gong Ruqing up, Li Shunxi fell into doubt. If someone was using a trick around him, he should have noticed it. But just now, even he was caught in the trick. He didn't notice it at all.
"Sir, if I hadn't had you just now..." Gong Ruqing leaned towards him tightly, her curvy body almost completely pressed against his body.
That soft touch immediately made Li Shunxi's head heat up, and he couldn't help but reach out and want to touch Gong Ruqing's key parts.
Chi!
Suddenly, his expression changed and he pushed Gong Ruqing away fiercely.
A ray of silver light flashed between the two of them, and Gong Ruqing actually held a dagger and slashed towards his chest.
Fortunately, he found it in time, and there was just a cut on his chest. Although the bleeding continued, it was not fatal.
"Miss Qingqing, you!!?" Before he could think about it, he saw Gong Ruqing stabbing a guard beside him in the stomach with a dagger.
"What's wrong with me?! Mr. Li, help me!!" Gong Ruqing was shocked. As if he couldn't help himself, he waved his dagger crazily, pushed the guard who was caught off guard violently away, and then pounced on Li Shunxi.
Li Shunxi blocked left and right, but Gong Ruqing's skills suddenly seemed to become extremely powerful. After a few rounds, he was unable to resist.
He gritted his teeth and took out a dark golden awl from his pocket, with fine and complex patterns engraved on it.
But seeing Gong Ruqing with pear blossoms and rain, he couldn't do anything. After all, this woman was just possessed. If he did this, wouldn't it be equivalent to killing a life with his own hands?
After hesitating for a moment, he was immediately stabbed hard again.
