Chapter 36 Lujiazhuang at the foot of Zhongyang Mountain
ps: Thanks to Dengwa’s father for the reward, and Pindao wishes Dengwa’s healthy growth. Thanks to Li Yimin, zho8888, for reading books without paying, Konggu Youcao, and Youyou Daier’s monthly tickets for encouragement. I have free time today and read some Taoist friends.
Comments, some people actually hope that Zhao Miaozhu will marry Master Wuse and Pei Xingxing. Pindao's eyes suddenly turned black, his stomach was uncomfortable, and he was unable to write. After thinking for a long time, I wonder if I need to reorganize the next plot and direction? In order to satisfy fellow Taoists
Between his taste and his insistence on not being in vain, how should Pindao choose? He is really undecided. So he made an agreement with fellow Taoists that if any fellow Taoist takes the position of the Golden Alliance before midnight tonight, then Pindao will risk his life.
, to satisfy the heavy tastes of Taoist friends first!
Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran had tea and fruits at Wujiazhuang. Wu Anxian was still preparing for a banquet, but Pei Zhongze refused: "Tongchuan has not seen such a shocking case in thirty years. This is a serious provocation to the spiritual world, and even more so.
This is an extreme contempt for the order and laws of the Taoist sect. Therefore, the owner of my house and all the guardians were very angry and sent the poor Taoist to come and investigate. The banquet is temporarily suspended. The case is urgent. First, bring the living child to see me.
"
The Lu family suffered a massacre this time. Among the thirty people, only one child survived. Naturally, this child had to be questioned. But when Wu Anxian brought the child up, Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran gave up.
Clues. The child's eyes were dull, as if he was sleepwalking, he didn't speak, and he had no expression. He was not much different from the walking dead.
Wu [1] An Xian sighed: "The Lu family is such a one-child family, and it ended up like this... I have watched this child grow up. He has excellent bones and aptitude. He has just started to practice Taoism...
"As he said that, his eyes turned red.
Pei Zhongze tried to ask a few questions, but the child had no answer, and there was no life in his eyes.
"Have you ever used the Soul Purifying Talisman? Or other soul-reviving potions?"
"I have tried it, but it has no effect at all. I wonder if there is any good medicine in the Qingyun Pavilion. If I can get good medicine and cure this child, my Wu family is willing to pay any reward."
This disease is the most difficult to treat, although it is not incurable. However, the elixir required is extremely precious, and it must be maintained by experts above the level of refining the void. The most critical problem is that the mind has been damaged.
, even if the injury is cured, there will be no prospects for future cultivation.
Therefore, Pei Zhongze could only temporarily harden his heart and choose to ignore it, sighing: "This child is also pitiful, but now there is no better way... Let's investigate the case first, and we will eventually find the murderer! Master Wu, let's go first
Go to Lujiazhuang and have a look."
Wu Anxian was dejected. But he also knew the difficulty, so he had to ask people to take the child back to the back house to take good care of him. At the same time, he ordered his servants to bring out a few horses. Together with his second brother Wu Anmin, he led Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran to Lu.
Homestead.
Lujiazhuang and Wujiazhuang are not far apart. They are located at the east and west ends of the southern foot of Zhongyang Mountain. They are separated by about thirty or forty miles. Everyone galloped on their horses (Zhao Ran rode a donkey). They arrived in more than half an hour.
.
The Wu family is also considered an old family of casual cultivators, and they know the rules. Therefore, they did not destroy the scene of the robbery of the Lu family village. They just restarted the illusionary formation outside the village to hide it from others.
Lujiazhuang's village-protecting formation was also crude and could not catch Zhao Ran's eyes, but it gave him a lot of inspiration. He planned to return to Junshan Temple and refine a set of mountain-protecting formations.
After entering Lujiazhuang, Wu Anxian began to point to various scenes along the way and began to explain. Because the people who were exterminated were the Lu family who had been friends with the Wu family for hundreds of years, Wu Anxian and others investigated very carefully that day.
"This is the outer hall, where seven people, including the porter and the old servant, died. The murderer used a fire talisman... Here, here, there, and here are the embers of burning talismans. There are seven in total... Although they are low-level
Talisman, but the blow was accurate and fast. Judging from the range of dead bodies, they were all concentrated under the pavilion and corridor, and no one escaped..."
"The murderer entered from here and entered the main hall, where the Lu brothers fought... The body was not greatly moved. We only turned it over and examined it a few times to see that the injuries were radiated from the inside out. Taoist priest Pei, you can check again...
…”
"After the death of the Lu brothers, the murderers continued inside... This is the inner house, where the wife and female relatives were killed..."
"This is the back garden, where Old Man Lu fought with the murderer... These places are all traces of the battle... Old Man Lu is good at using the Jiugong Lantern, but now the magic weapon has been lost and cannot be found. It is estimated that it was obtained by the murderer... Same thing.
His abdomen was shattered and he died, but the murderer’s spell could not be seen..."
Following Wu Anxian's explanation, Pei Zhongze and Zhao Ran walked through the entire Lujiazhuang step by step, and the general situation became clear.
Pei Zhongze asked: "Have the direction and route of the murderer's escape been investigated?"
Wu Anxian shook his head and said: "The murderer has great magic power, and it is not possible for us to see through it. I also tried the defensive talisman, but I couldn't find which direction he escaped."
Pei Zhongze asked again: "Has anything unusual happened to the Lu family recently? For example, have they offended any enemies? Or obtained any treasures?"
Wu Anxian said: "There should be no enemies. He and my family are family friends and talk about everything. If it is true, my family will definitely know about it. As for the treasure, I have never heard of it..."
Pei Zhongze looked at Zhao Ran and said, "Junior brother, do you see?"
Zhao Ran said: "I'll give it a try." Then he entered into concentration, opened his eyes, looked around, then chose a corner and buried a defensive talisman.
Wu Anmin was dissatisfied when he saw that what Zhao Ran took out was the most common defense talisman. He felt that the detailed explanations he and his brother had just given were in vain. It seemed that they didn't listen at all, and they didn't believe him at all, so he said to Pei Zhongze
: "Taoist Master Pei, my family has checked with the Taoist Talisman, and indeed there is no trace of the murderer. I am afraid that it will be difficult for this little Taoist priest to find anything. It is not easy to refine the talisman. Do you think of another way?"
Wu Anxian was calmer than his brothers. He grabbed Wu Anmin and said with a smile: "I am a monk in the pavilion. He may have advanced methods that you and I don't understand. Don't say much, let's just look at the methods of the little Taoist priest."
"On the surface, these words sounded bright, but after careful consideration, the taste was very wrong. It was clear that Zhao Ran, a young monk who had just entered the Taoist realm, was a bit of a joke.
Zhao Ran smiled and didn't say much. He just arranged the defensive talismans one by one in various places in the village. After the arrangement was completed, Zhao Ran made hand gestures, stepped on the steps, and activated the defensive talismans at the same time.
His actions made the Wu brothers even more dissatisfied. To use the lowest-level talisman such as the Wei Dao Talisman, you have to be so serious. Not only the talismans, but also the footwork, the cultivation level is obviously not enough. For example, Wu Anmin, he is now
In the realm of Taoist priests, there is no need to step on the steps when issuing talismans, but Wu Anxian no longer even needs to pinch the hand gestures.
Pei Zhongze knew Zhao Ran's abilities very well. He didn't care at all whether the Wu brothers would underestimate Zhao Ran or even underestimate himself. He just stared at Zhao Ran's every move.
The Wei Dao Talisman is Zhao Ran's favorite talisman, not only because of the defensive and warning functions of this talisman, but also because this talisman can be in harmony with the qi of heaven and earth. Zhao Ran can better give full play to the efficacy of this talisman and his own
Specialties.
This time, he also chose this low-level talisman without hesitation. He used six of them at once, basically covering the entire Lujiazhuang. After activating the talisman, he stood where he was and quietly felt the legend of the Wei Dao Talisman.
The coming changes in the operation of the heaven and earth qi machines.
After a while, Zhao Ran nodded to Pei Zhongze and headed towards the moon cave door on the left hand side of the rear courtyard. After passing through two courtyards, Zhao Ran was located in a courtyard. There were three wing rooms in the courtyard, one was the kitchen and the other was.
The woodshed and the third are utility rooms.
Wu Anmin couldn't help but questioned: "Is there something wrong with this courtyard? Impossible! We used the Dao Dao Talisman and the Mysterious Talisman around the entire Lujiazhuang. There were no traces of the criminals jumping over every outer wall, so I
My brother and I both believed that the murderer had a magical weapon that could allow him to escape, so he must have escaped by riding on the magical weapon."
Wu Anxian grabbed his brother and said, "Second brother, stop talking, let's see what the little Taoist is capable of." Then he smiled at Zhao Ran and said, "The little Taoist..."
Zhao Ran heard that he was a "little Taoist priest" and there was a "little Taoist priest". He sighed and said: "Master Wu Zhuang, the poor Taoist's surname is Zhao."
Wu Anxian's words stopped for a moment, and then he laughed twice: "Haha, Daozhang Zhao, my second brother has made many conflicting remarks, please forgive me. But... the murderer has definitely never been here. We checked every outer wall.
Yes, it is said that the elder of the Lu family hid here and thus escaped disaster..."
Zhao Ran asked: "Which room is the child hiding in?"
Wu Anxian pointed to the side room: "That woodshed."
Zhao Ran opened the door and searched inside, but found nothing out of the ordinary. He stepped out again, ignored Wu Anmin's sneer, and once again played a defensive talisman towards the woodshed.
The defensive talisman sent out a wave of mana, covering the inside and outside of the woodshed, and then transmitted the feedback of the wave to Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran's heart moved and he said to Pei Zhongze: "Brother, please take action." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature,
