The Ascension of Ghosts

Although Lu Sheng couldn't bear it, but he had learned from the past, he hit each of them on the back of the head, and when he was dizzy, he found some cloth belts from the corpses around him, bound the hands and feet of the three, and gagged them.I also found a slightly more complete house, which should have sold ceramic crock pots. Although the house was full of mess, it was not destroyed in the fire.Lu Sheng dragged the three of them into the shop, and closed the door of the shop to avoid complications.

He didn't attack hard, dragging Wu Gan to wake up halfway, he couldn't help being frightened and angry, struggling vigorously, humming continuously in his throat, his eyes almost burst into flames.

The other two also woke up, the man was as frightened and angry as Wu Gan, and he tried his best to break free from the bondage of his hands and feet.

It's just that Lu Sheng catches thieves and handles cases on weekdays, and encounters countless Xiaoxiao. This binding method is learned from the old Jianghu who specializes in catching thieves in the military camp. Even if he rolls out of flowers on the ground, he can't break free.Lu Sheng carefully gathered the broken pottery and the like to the corner, so that the three of them could not find a tool to escape.

After he was so busy, he realized that although Wu Gan and the man were working hard, the woman was peaceful, sitting on the ground obediently since she woke up.Seeing Lu Sheng looking over, she hurriedly raised her head and blinked her eyes. Lu Sheng looked at her expression and guessed, "Do you have something to say?"

The woman nodded repeatedly, and Lu Sheng said, "If you loosen it, don't yell."

The woman nodded again and again, and Lu Sheng loosened the cloth that gagged her mouth. The woman gasped and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Mr. Lu——Wu Mo, Wu Gan, stop arguing, we have mistaken people You still haven't apologized to Mr. Lu?"

Wu Gan and Wu Mo were stunned, maybe this woman usually spoke with great weight, as long as she reprimanded them lightly, the two of them could not help but stop resisting.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, "You understand people."

The woman said: "My name is Wu Lin, and I'm a hunter. This is my husband Wu Mo, and that's my younger brother Wu Gan. My family and I lost our minds because of our anger... I hope Master Lu will forgive us."

Lu Sheng sighed: "If it wasn't for my martial arts skills, I was killed by you earlier, so I wouldn't have the chance to forgive you."

Wu Gan was still full of indignation, biting the cloth in his mouth and humming, Wu Lin was young after all, and he suffered a terrible change, after apologizing, he didn't know what to do, his eye circles turned red for a while, and he just bit the Lips don't speak.

Lu Sheng sighed again: "Forget it, it's not the time to care about it."

He untied everyone, and Wu Mo had obviously figured it out, so he sat cross-legged with his head downcast and gloomy.But Wu Gan gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Sheng: "Big cousin, how can you believe the one-sided words of outsiders!"

Wu Lin frowned and said: "I usually tell you to think more about things, don't rely on a moment of enthusiasm... If Mr. Lu is the real murderer, he killed us with a knife as before, why bother tied up?"

Wu Gan opened his mouth, he is not a fool after all, he knew a little bit, and now he believed most of it, but he still bowed his head and said: "But, but Master Li said..."

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, but he heard Wu Lin say: "You saw it too, parents... those wounds are all blood holes, pierced by cones, although the weapons used by this young master are terrifying... But a sword can't pierce a hole like that."

The chests of the corpses in the city were all torn apart, and the heads were pierced through by a single blow, not by sword wounds.However, when her parents died tragically, Wu Lin was still able to distinguish the details clearly and consider carefully under the pain. This calmness inevitably made Lu Sheng look at her a few more times.

He was in his early twenties, without makeup, with his long hair simply tied behind his head, with a wooden hairpin inserted, and wearing a simple blue robe like Wu Mo and Wu Gan.If you look at it from the eyes of today's people, it can be called "unkempt and disheveled", but Wu Lin's simple attire, on the contrary, has a kind of natural beauty that is not carved. At the moment, with tears in his eyes, his expression is firm and resolute, which is admirable .

Lu Sheng looked at it, suddenly subconsciously felt guilty, and hurriedly looked away.In the past, if he looked at others a few more times, he would have been ridiculed by Xie Rong long ago. If he refuted a few words, he would be punished even more. His narrow mind and various methods are outrageous.

Now without Xie Rong mocking him, Lu Sheng's heart was empty and he was at a loss.

He paced back and forth in the shop, there was no one outside the door, there was only the crackling sound of burning wood, which made people irritated for no reason, Wu Lin looked at him, and then told him about the cause and effect.The poisonous fog at the foot of the mountain dissipated, and several people accompanied Li Ying back to the city. Unexpectedly, upon arriving, they saw only mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and flames on the towers.Then Li Ying sent people back to the mountain to spread the news, and ordered Wu Lin and Wu Mo to hide outside the city, and he went into the city alone to inquire.

Yesterday Li Ying went out of the city and found Wu Lin and Wu Mo, with a look of grief and anger, he only said that Xie Rong and Lu Sheng were the murderers, and told him that if he sees his fellow clansmen, he must send a message to tell all Wuxian people to hide in the medicine palace in the center of the city within.

Wu Gan rushed over after receiving the news, risking being killed, and accompanied his cousin and cousin's husband to search for survivors.

Just searching so far, but have not found even a living person... The family members who stayed in the city also suffered misfortune.

Wu Lin made it clear at the beginning, but when he mentioned the countless dead in the city, his voice was hard to avoid, and he couldn't continue speaking intermittently.

Wu Gan took up Wu Lin's words, and explained the reason clearly. Finally, he couldn't help but said, "Although Mr. Lu uses a sword, what weapon Mr. Xie uses...we haven't seen it before, maybe it's..."

Lu Sheng frowned and lowered his face: "Xie Rong didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. Wu Gan, the hatred of killing relatives is irreconcilable. I know that you are grieving in your heart, but you are just guessing and blaming rashly for no reason. It's half helpful. It's better to calm down and check for clues."

Although he spoke resolutely, his heart was slightly shaken.

He asserted that Xie Rong would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, not because he believed in the kindness of this person, but because he understood Xie Rong's disposition, unless there was a necessary reason, he would not do such laborious things.

However, the four characters of Wu Xian's elixir are a very sufficient reason. Xie Rong has the Shenzhou tripod in his hand, so he can come and go freely. If he did something without telling him last night, he might not be aware of it.

Lu Sheng was disturbed in his heart, and wished he could find Xie Rong immediately and ask him for clarification, but his face was still as calm as a veteran of solving cases, and he said: "What's more, I don't know something. Kill, the rest of the people should evacuate the city and retreat to Lingbao Mountain to hide their whereabouts. Now they have to concentrate in the center of the city. If the murderer goes and returns, wouldn't it be just a good time to catch you all?"

Wu Gan was still looking for an excuse, but Wu Lin stood up in horror, and said sharply: "It's not good——"

As soon as the word was uttered, there was a loud bang in the silent city.

Lu Sheng hurriedly opened the door and walked out. He saw flames soaring into the sky from the already dilapidated city, reflecting half of the sky red, and the direction was right in the center of the city.

Wu Lin followed behind him, seeing the flames soaring into the sky, he panicked and said, "Something happened to the Yao Palace!"

Everyone was in chaos, and they didn't care about Lu Sheng. They grabbed the door and rushed towards the medicine palace. Only then did Lu Sheng say, "Wait!"

But it was too late.

Lu Sheng didn't want to care about it. He watched the flames raging in the distance, but couldn't really stand by and stay out of it, so he cursed secretly for his stupid impulse and chased after him.However, the streets and alleys in Wuxian City were twists and turns, and he was not familiar with the roads, so he had long since lost sight of Wu Lin and the other three.He took many detours and took a long time to arrive at the place where the fire broke out, which was a hall with high walls.

A stone road led to the entrance of the main hall. At this time, the raging fire engulfed the entire palace. There was a large wooden gourd on the top of the hall door, which was also engulfed by the fire at this moment, and it was scorched black.There were many corpses lying on the stone bricks with carved patterns, and after sweeping along the stone road, Lu Sheng saw Xie Rong's figure.

All of a sudden, there was silence, only the sound of raging flames burning and exploding.

No matter where he is, that person is always handsome and beautiful.In the place where the scenery is beautiful and the moon is shining, there are exiled immortals falling into the mundane world; in the sea of ​​blood on the mountain of corpses, it is the demon god descending into troubled times.

Lu Sheng had no intention of admiring it, because the three dead bodies lying at Xie Rong's feet, staring blankly and dying, were Wu Lin, Wu Mo and Wu Gan who had hurriedly left earlier.

Xie Rong saw him, but didn't ask about An Wei, only frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

Lu Sheng's frozen gaze moved away from Wu Gan and the others, and he said in a daze, "Ah Rong..."

He wanted to ask: Xie Rong, what did you do?Xie Rong, do you really have the heart?Xie Rong, even though you regard other people's lives as worthless and killed so many, have you ever trembled a little bit?

It's just that his throat seemed to be strangled by invisible fingers, he couldn't open his mouth trembling, his heart was full of sourness and disappointment, the knuckles of his fingers were turning white, but he couldn't pull them out.

Xie Rong saw the young man's expression was different, and already guessed his thoughts, raised his brows slightly, and sneered, "It's very good, very good, Lu Gongcao is a model for the world if he looks at the fire in a cave, and is high-spirited and virtuous."

Lu Sheng was so confused that he just said blankly, "Ah Rong, I..."

A soft sneer interrupted him, and the open space was suddenly filled with chilling coldness. He didn't notice it a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, there was a light footstep appearing out of thin air, stepping very close behind Lu Sheng .

The man's voice was smiling, although it was full of joy, it was gloomy and chilly enough to make the hearers tremble in their hearts, and then they were afraid like snakes and scorpions: "No wonder the blood flowers bloomed extra large and bright red, in pairs , So I met more than one old friend, Lu Gongcao, are you all right?"

Lu Sheng's grief and shock disappeared immediately, and he felt like a light was on his back, so he didn't dare to turn around.

The sound of the clothes sleeves sounded slowly, Xie Rong walked slowly to his side, smiled coldly, and said: "You monk, you have made a city full of bones, and you are telling me to take the blame."

With Xie Rong as his companion, Lu Sheng suddenly became more courageous. Then he turned around and saw Ghost Ye standing a few feet away, carelessly wiping the dull-colored vajra in his hand. The blood stains, like large dark brown patterns, were ugly.

That monk's appearance was already monstrous, his complexion was as snowy as snow, and against the bloodstains of this white robe, his white bones formed a grave, and his red lotus was evil, nothing could be more like this.

Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Gui Ye, you killed all the people in this city?!"

Gui Ye threw the blood-stained cloth, and turned the Vajra Pestle very deftly and neatly in his palm. He licked his bright red lips, giggled and laughed, but his eyes fell on Lu Sheng's white knuckles, and his slender eyebrows frowned slightly When he got up, he didn't answer Lu Sheng's question: "Since Lu Gongcao didn't take good care of my sect's sacred object, he should return it earlier."

Lu Sheng said: "The Xingtian Broken Blade hidden in the hanging pot belongs to my Central Plains. Even if your Jingyezong once picked it up, and now it is in the hands of the Central Plains people, you should just say that it belongs to the original owner. In the future, don't use it again." The name of the thing is commensurate. Ghost leaf, don't come around, the murderer who wants to kill people in the city, is it you?"

Gui Ye snorted, and turned the vajra with both hands, but he didn't know what mechanism was touched. The vajra, which was more than a foot long, bounced and stretched, and turned into a person's height. Chu, suddenly smiled and said: "I don't like to talk nonsense, since I met you two by chance, let's kill them together."

Before he could finish speaking, his body appeared like a ghost and moved towards him.Lu Sheng hastily drew his sword to meet him, but happened to step on something on the empty rocky ground. He stumbled and tilted his weight. He saw the vajra rod strike out a dark golden lightning bolt, and he couldn't dodge it. .
