The useless princess is causing trouble again

Xiaobai looked around and said, "Master, this place is surrounded by mountains. It is indeed a good place to hide a corpse."

"Taifu Luo is indeed very thoughtful. It must have taken a lot of manpower to dig this secret passage. Fortunately, we stumbled into it by accident."

"Master, what should we do next?"

Shangguan Wei looked up at the starry sky, "Well, let me think about it."

In the dark valley, the air was filled with the stench of corpses. The cries of crows echoed in the woods. The empty grassland was filled with densely packed medicine men with the same look in their eyes. They stood there straight, motionless, as if they were completely isolated from the world around them. Their eyes were empty and lifeless, without a trace of expression, as if they had lost all emotions and consciousness. Their bodies were stiff, and their limbs seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move. Their skin was dull and lifeless, like a body with its soul taken away, with only an empty shell left.

Xiao Bai pursed his lips and said, "Oh, look carefully, they are quite creepy, just like zombies at the end of the world."

Shangguan Wei stood on a high place and looked down. "These medicine men are a big hidden danger. Leaving them in the world will only hurt more people. Burn them before they go crazy."

Xiaobai looked up at Shangguan Wei, "Master, do you need Xiaobai's help? Xiaobai likes to set fires the most."

Shangguan Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Then let Xiaobai do it. Burning these hidden dangers will also be a great merit."

"Okay, Xiaobai, it's time to show off. Show the Master the Samadhi True Fire."

Xiaobai stood at the front with his head held high, then shook his head left and right, and then spurted three flames of different colors towards the medicine man below. The yellow, blue and purple flames gathered into a large red flame. The fire spread and became more and more fierce. Thick black and choking smoke rose up, illuminating the valley at night.

Shangguan Wei looked around, raised her right hand and pointed to the right, "It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's go down the mountain from that road."

"Okay, Xiaobai will protect the master down the mountain."

Xiaobai swung out his nine tails towards Shangguan Wei, gently wrapped them around her body, and easily jumped up with his two front paws. In a few seconds, he quickly ran down the mountain. The man and the fox soon disappeared into the night.

……

midnight.

The fire in the backyard of the Taifu Mansion was soaring into the sky that it startled Taifu Luo who was already asleep. There was also constant knocking on the door of the concubine's room.

"Master, something bad has happened. Something has happened."

"Oh no, Master, wake up."

"There's a fire in the backyard, and everything is about to burn down."

Aunt Lian pushed the people around her and said, "Master, please wake up. There is a fire in the backyard."

Master Luo woke up from his sleep, "What? There's a fire in the backyard, help me up quickly."

Aunt Lian helped Master Luo up and said, "Master, I will help you get dressed and go with you to see it."

"It's too late. You don't need to follow."

Tutor Luo lifted the quilt and stepped out of bed. He put on his robe swiftly, flicked his sleeves, and walked hurriedly out of the room.

The door opened and the thin butler stood on the steps with an anxious look on his face, "Master, please follow me. The fire in the backyard is too fierce and cannot be put out."

Master Luo walked down the steps quickly, his face gloomy enough to kill people, "There's a death barrier set up in the backyard, and there are Ghost Sages and secret guards guarding it, so how did it catch fire?"

The thin butler followed behind, "Master, I just found out about this. When I rushed over, I found that all the secret guards had been poisoned to death, and the fire was spreading to the middle courtyard."

Master Luo clenched his fists in anger. "He was really bold to set fire to Master's Mansion. If we can find any clues at the scene, I will never let him go."

The thin butler was very nervous and frowned as he replied, "Master, this person came and went without a trace. He left no trace at all. I'm afraid he is dead..."

Master Luo stopped and said, "Investigate, send everyone to investigate, otherwise you will be fired as the housekeeper and you won't have to see the sun tomorrow."

The thin butler was so frightened that he staggered and took several steps back, saying tremblingly, "Master, I will send someone to investigate right now. We will definitely find the murderer and catch him."

"Go, I don't want to see you."

Master Luo swung his right hand, quickened his pace and walked forward with anger. The thin butler looked at the figure who had already walked away, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned around to walk towards the front yard.

……

The fire in the middle courtyard was put out, leaving behind ruins and endless desolation. The former buildings have now been burned to ashes, leaving only broken walls, black and gloomy, like a wound on the earth. The air is filled with a strong smell of burning, and the ground is covered with ashes. Where the fire has raged, the grass and trees are all dead, and there is a dead silence. The originally vibrant scene has been completely destroyed, leaving only a desolate scene, without color and vitality, as if everything has been drained of its soul.

Master Luo led a group of followers to the backyard in a hurry. He looked at the desolate room with a cold expression, "Everyone follow me to the secret room. We must find the Ghost Saint."

The attendants said respectfully, holding a lantern and walking down the secret room. The fire had left a mess, filled with smoke and a pungent smell. The walls were blackened, and the ground was covered with ashes and charred debris. The air was filled with heat waves, making it difficult to breathe, as if everything here had been devoured by the fire.

Master Luo stood in the secret room, looking at everything around him with anger, "You guys split up and search, you must find the Ghost Saint."

"Damn you, don't let me find you, or I will tear out your tendons, peel off your skin, and whip your corpse for three days and three nights to vent my hatred."

Suddenly a young follower said, "Master, the Ghost Saint was burned into a charred corpse."

Master Luo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burnt-out corpse lying on the ground, clutching a gourd tightly in his hand and a wheel-shaped necklace hanging around his neck.

He strode forward, raised his hand and said, "Turn his body over. I want to confirm his identity myself."

The young follower answered yes and turned the charred corpse over with his sword. The hideous and terrifying face appeared before his eyes, and the smell of burnt food was strong.

Master Luo gritted his teeth in hatred and said, "Carry the corpse of the Ghost Saint out. Don't bump into anything. I want to give an explanation to the Ghost of the Poison Sect."

At this time, another middle-aged attendant hurried back, pointed at the passage ahead, and said breathlessly, "Master, something is wrong. Follow me to the outside to take a look."

Master Luo frowned and looked over. "What happened? Why are you so reckless?"

The middle-aged follower took a breath and said, "There is a fire outside the valley. The fire is very big. I am here to ask the master for instructions."

Upon hearing this, Master Luo was extremely anxious. "Quick, come with me to put out the fire. Those things cannot be burned. They must be saved, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."

After saying this, he used his Qinggong skills to rush forward quickly.
