Chapter 163 Demon 15
Chapter 163 Demon 15
It is true that someone cast a curse on Mr. Xu, but before the curse took effect, Mr. Xu had already been killed by "someone". It was determined that it was an evil spirit, so the case was closed in such a haste.
But if Master Xu died so tragically according to what the steward said, there must be resentment in the mansion, even if the hostility is too strong, it is unknown that he will turn into a ghost.But as Chu Lu noticed before, this mansion and the whole Jinning Town are too clean, no matter whether it is evil spirit or resentment.
However, due to the lack of evil spirit, Chu Lu probably had some guesses on the way to the Xu Mansion.
And Master Xu's tragic death without resentment is another reason.
Chu Lu glanced at the pond full of dead branches and fallen leaves, but there was no sense of desolation. Obviously, even if it was out of season, the pond was carefully beaten into it, and then looked at the golden turtle statue next to the lotus pond.
If you read correctly, this turtle-shaped statue...is probably made of pure gold, and it obviously has some special meaning to Mr. Xu.
……
Turtle Treasure, born in the belly of a turtle, dissects its arms and feeds its flesh, and feeds on human blood to survive. *
In short, this is a kind of monster that can make people "exchange their lives for money". No wonder the Xu family is so rich despite living in a remote corner.
And no matter it was the overly exaggerated narration by Xiaoer in Fuyue Inn, or Guanshi Teng's "according to the truth" when he was in the house just now, the tragic death of Master Xu had all his limbs cut off...
I'm afraid that the other arm, two legs, and even the other, the tragic appearance of the corpse are all to cover up that arm, the arm that holds the turtle.
Money has always touched people's hearts...
Master Xu's death was not caused by a demon, but because of a demon.
Coupled with the fact that he has been cultivating monsters in his human body for so long, the spirit energy of that Master Xu may have been exhausted long ago, and his soul may not be complete, and he may have long since been unable to resolve the ghosts' grievances.
And the one who kills and seizes demons.
Every time he raised his hand, his left arm was unnaturally stagnant. It was hard to rule out the suspicion of Teng Guanshi, who was obviously in good shape, but his face showed a pale color that had lost vitality.
However, since this matter is man-made, given the tragic state of Master Xu's body, it is impossible for the murderer to be silent when he strikes, but no one else was silenced in this mansion... Obviously, this matter has been planned for a long time So that the murderer did not have any omissions in his actions, the steward must have an accomplice in the mansion.
Someone outside the mansion cursed him to kill him, the right-hand man around him was hiding his murderous intentions, there were some accomplices in the mansion, and even his own son said "that old thing is finally dead"...
What Yan Chu said in the room just now, "Happy to the heart", is not without reason.
However, what Chu Lu and Yan Chu could see through in the blink of an eye was really difficult for young people like Yun Huiming who were inexperienced.In addition, there was Yan Chu next to him, who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. He deliberately pointed out wrong clues to a few people, and kept leading them in crooked ways. It's strange that these young people can see it.
After being led by the nose by the manager just now, the group of children fell into the pit dug by Yan without hesitation, and they decided that Mr. Xu was cursed to death, and they were about to follow the lead immediately. The trace that came down went to the person who cast the curse.
As for how to find...
He didn't panic at all when four people and eight eyes were staring at Yan Chu at once, as long as his senior brother was not among the people staring at him, he would have nothing to panic about.
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Lu knew that Yan Chu was going to make trouble again, and he didn't even bother to look at it.
"this……"
Yun Huiming wanted to address him only to realize that he didn't even ask the other person's name.
Yan Chu smiled: "My surname is Bai."
Next to the black fox:? !
Although he has never acknowledged the title "Xiaobai", the black fox who was suddenly robbed of his name is still grinding his teeth angrily.
Several people immediately said respectfully: "Senior White."
The reason why practitioners can identify their identities based on their spiritual power is because it is extremely difficult to fake. Even Yan Chu has spent a lot of effort, and the spiritual power that can be revealed is very limited. A newcomer who has not been in this way for a long time.But the hand he showed just now has already been extraordinary, and there is nothing wrong with calling these people "senior" now.
But is Yan Chu a person who can be dismissed "nothing wrong"?
Obviously not.
If Guanrong were here, he would immediately hide away when he noticed that his master's mood was fluctuating. Even Pu Chongjin, who has not been accepted as an apprentice for a long time, has already developed this intuition (...if they will The son can still recognize the words of his master).
Don't approach Yan when he is "in a good mood" or "in a bad mood".
——When he is in a good mood, he will come up with bad ideas on a whim to torment people; but when he is in a bad mood, it is even easier. Does he look like a generous person who is willing to see others happy beside him?
However, Yan Chu's current mood cannot be accurately attributed to any one of the two.
To describe it more accurately, he is actually a little panicked...
The senior brother obviously recognized him, but he didn't say anything.
Why?Why not?Was it because he was annoyed that he had destroyed the Sleepy Dragon Lock, that he hadn't garrisoned the Demon Lock Tower, or was it simply that he had nothing to say to him?
……
…………
Yan Chu would never show this tangled mood to the outside, but he doesn't want to see other people leisurely at the moment.
He glanced at Baba who was surrounding him and looked at his group of young people, with a half-smile: "Senior?"
He raised his hand to touch his face, and sighed again, "I have also reached the age of being called 'senior'..."
black Fox:"……"
——How shameless!
But the four people who didn't know the inside story suddenly became embarrassed.
Qian Xunyu made a decisive decision: "Sister Bai."
The other three were a little at a loss. After all, it was the first time they met today. It was obviously impossible for them to use such an overly intimate title.
And the hand that the other party showed just now is obviously not ordinary. It is too offensive to call "Fellow Daoist", but like the Xu family who don't know the inside story, they are worried about falling into the same predicament as they called "Senior" just now. .
The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end they both called "Daoist Bai" and "Madam Bai".
Yan Chu neither nodded in agreement nor shook his head, but there was still that half-smile on his lips, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied or not.
Qian Xunyu looked at the three useless male companions, took a step forward, and said softly: "Sister Bai, none of us are good at spells, and we have to rely on my sister for the Xu family's affairs."
Curses, Gu worms and the like can all be classified as witchcraft, which can be regarded as a relatively partial direction in practice. Just now, the four of them recognized the traces at Yan's place in front of others, which is enough to prove that they have extensive knowledge. , is the mainstay of the next generation in each sect.
It has to be said that it was indeed the correct choice for Qian Xun Yu to come forward.
Because of the method of cultivation in Tianshang Mountain, there are very few female disciples, and each of them is the key protection object of the mountain gate. From time to time, they have to receive care and guidance from brothers in the same sect - most of the time, this refers to the competition in the ring.
Although gender can't stop Yan Chu's doggy and weak personality, but in comparison, his attitude towards girls is a little bit better... it's really only a little bit.
He didn't distract himself at all, showing a tired expression that was pretending to be tired, saying, "That's it for today, what's the matter, I'll talk about it tomorrow after I have a rest."
Although a few people were anxious and worried, they wanted something from others and it was not easy to force them.
But obviously this level is not enough to satisfy the Yan head who has made up his mind to make trouble.
He didn't think it was messy enough, and deliberately led Yun Huiming to mention the "backtracking" technique in front of Steward Teng who came over.
This is actually a technique to check the traces of demon power and spiritual power left in a certain place, but under the deliberate induction of Yan, the description of this technique is heard by ordinary people, it seems that Yun Huiming has a way to repeat it. Images of what happened today.
After listening to this, the capable middle-aged man turned pale for a moment, but he quickly covered up his gaffe, but when he looked up again, the look in Yun Huiming's eyes was not quite right.
Seeing Yan Chu passing by more and more, Chu Lu finally coughed lightly as a reminder.
He could see the thoughts of Yan Chu's experienced disciples.
Although these young people have good cultivation, they are not deeply involved in the world.Facing ordinary people with no cultivation base, he has an arrogance that he didn't even realize, but he doesn't know... people's hearts are sometimes much more terrifying than monsters.
According to Chu Lu’s understanding of Yan Chu, his junior brother will definitely help Guan Teng secretly, and let these disciples suffer a big somersault here...the kind that will be unforgettable for a lifetime...
Although Yan was watching from the side, it would not put the disciples in any danger to their lives, but it was hard to say anything else.
Chu Lu signaled him to restrain himself more or less.
After all, besides Tianshangshan, there are other disciples here.
Chu Lu didn't want to reap the head of Tianshang Mountain who was hunted down by Luoxia Jingtian and Han Jiangluo after this time.
To be honest, after Yan Chu has been the head of Tianshang Mountain for so many years, the fact that Tianshang Mountain has not yet become the public enemy of the major factions really surprised Chu Lu.
But thinking about it, I think it is understandable...
After all, compared to other sects that are occasionally affected by persecution, Tianshangshan with such a head is indeed more miserable.
