"Is it a hallucination? Not a hallucination?"

Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and suppressed thoughts in his heart. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It's fine. He straightened up and answered calmly.

"Childe..... Lord Xu, they are such good people, such good officials, how can they....?"

Little tearful eyes, about to start crying again.

Lu Sheng looked at the corpses of the Xu family all over the ground in silence.

The corpses were all blue-gray, with a strangulation mark on their necks.

The prefect took a few glances and left in a hurry. Gave the matter to the chief arrester of the torture room in charge of the case.

There were also several government officials who were in charge of investigating the case, and they were also discussing the case with the chief arrester.

"Childe, the master asked you to go over. A servant ran over and whispered to Lu Sheng.

As he spoke, he also looked at the corpse of the Xu family on the ground with regret.

"I'll go right away. Lu Sheng glanced at the servant. "You're not afraid?"

"I'm afraid. "This servant is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his temperament and expression reveal a maturity that does not match his age.

"But the small one has fled from the kingdom of Jurong in the east. There is now a famine, corpses are everywhere, and many families have even lost their children, so we have seen a lot of such a tragedy..... Alas...."

He sighed, and immediately realized that the other party was not his usual friend, and quickly lowered his head.

"See a lot, is there a lot of this kind of thing in the Jurong Kingdom in the east?"

Lu Sheng asked casually.

The servant fell silent.

"Not a lot. ”

Lu Sheng's heart tightened.

But he didn't stop at his feet, and soon walked in front of his father in this life.

The road is put on, the word is safe, and the number is Jin Yuanweng.

Lu Quan'an's money is also famous in the entire Jiulian City. The news that the Lu family and the Xu family were about to marry had already spread throughout the city, and even people from Zihua City, which was close to the west, came to send congratulatory gifts.

Such a boiling event has now become like this.

Lu Quanan's face was very ugly at this time, and his eyes were also full of fatigue and worry.

"Hello, tell Zhao Zhutou about yesterday's situation. ”

He stepped over and gave a bearded man a place next to him.

Lu Sheng's heart kept echoing what Xu Daoran heard yesterday, and he felt that the case of the water ghost must be related to the death of the Xu family.

At that moment, he told Xu Daoran what he said yesterday one by one.

There's nothing to hide.

Mr. Zhao frowned, and he couldn't see any clue.

Lu Sheng saw that there was nothing to ask, so he also took his leave.

Before leaving, the people of the yamen began to collect the corpses.

Lu Sheng stood on the side and watched for a while, and when he saw Xu Daoran being directly lifted onto the shelf, he sighed, walked closer to find a catch, and asked.

"This brother, what remnants of the Xu family are left?"

He thought in his heart that if there were still survivors of the Xu family alive, he would take care of them, and maybe he could get something useful from the other party's mouth.

"It's gone..... It's all over, and even the family of my relatives is implicated. Maybe there are a few distant relatives over there in Zihua City. ”

The catcher shook his head and whispered.

Lu Sheng quietly stuffed a dime of broken silver to him, and he took Xiaoxiao and followed his family to get into the carriage together.

One after another, the carriages went home.

But the tragic situation of the Xu family is still in everyone's minds.

Lu Fang Lu Quan'an, as the head of the family, convened everyone to hold a family meeting and announced that the marriage with the Xu family would be stopped. Let the ladies comfort and comfort Yiyi more, and then go back to the room to rest alone.

The young people of the family went out one after another, either to the wine shop in the city, or to the Qinglou, or to the music shop. When they are frightened, they often anesthetize themselves in this way.

The ladies went out one after another to the nearby Red Lotus Temple to worship the Buddha and pray for peace and blessing.

It is best to ask for a spiritual talisman of the Red Lotus Dao Master to bless the family from external evils.

The whole Lu family was in a panic.

Lu Sheng didn't go out and fool around.

He took the small one all the way to the large study where the books were stored at home.

It was quiet in the study.

He pushed the door open and entered, and inside was a chubby woman cleaning and wiping down the bookshelves.

The vermilion bookshelves, the furniture, and the dim light outside the window make this place a somewhat gloomy background.

Lu Sheng entered the door, bypassed the round flower and bird picture wooden screen blocking the door, and smelled the faint aroma of wood in the study.

"You guys go out first, I'll read and rest by myself." ”

He commanded.

"Yes. ”

The little obedient answered, and then went out with the fat woman who was cleaning.

Lu Sheng stood alone in the study, looking at the rows of bookshelves in front of him, and sighed slightly.

He began to search through the shelves.

Soon, I found a record book such as a local county register.

Then he took out all the books and began to look through them one by one.

By the dim light outside the window, he quickly finished a booklet.

In the seventy-second year of the Great Song Dynasty, a person appeared on the outskirts of Jiulian City, who killed 12 people in a row with a knife in a madness, and was captured and attacked by the Yamen group. ’

'In the eighty-fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty, in the downtown area of Jiulian City, there was a person on the street, whose head suddenly left his body, and the cause of death was unknown. ’

In the ninety-first year of the Great Song Dynasty, after the number of travelers disappeared in the broken temple outside the city, the number reached 15, and the case has not been solved so far. ’

'In the ninety-fifth year of the Great Song Dynasty, the owner of Jiulian City Music Fang disappeared. The limbs were found in four different places outside the city. Within four days of his death, the body had decomposed into bones. ’

In the 116th year of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a cry of children outside the city at night, and all those who went to investigate disappeared. The crying lasted for three days before disappearing on its own. ’

........

Looking at the big and small cases, the major events are recorded.

The more Lu Sheng looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt uneasy.

It's not easy for such a world, such a world that can be called a step-by-step crisis, where people here have not collapsed and gone crazy, and can still live well.

He opened another booklet.

This booklet is even more exaggerated than the previous one.

'In the 119th year of the Great Song Dynasty, there were nine consecutive blizzards, and the dragon king appeared in a certain place, and the heavy snow stopped within three days. Three days later, the blizzard, which had lasted for dozens of days, came to a halt. ’

In the 128th year of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a fog on the avenue leading to Zihua City, and those who entered lost their direction would inexplicably appear on the shore of the white ice ocean dozens of miles away. Ten days later, the fog cleared. ’

When Lu Sheng saw this, he could almost confirm that this world was not as simple as he thought, demons and monsters, I am afraid that it may really exist.

At least with the class he is in now, he can't see that there is a way to sound the weather in this world.

He moved his chair, picked up the flint, and lit the candlestick on the table.

The bright yellow candlelight reflected his face uncertainly.

"If the world is really as dangerous as I guessed, then what do I need to protect myself, and what can I use to protect myself?"

He asked himself.

I thought about it at the table for a while.

Lu Sheng slowly got up, blew out the candlestick, and returned all the books on the table to their original places.

Then push the door and go out.

"Childe, are you done?"

Xiao Xiao was standing at the door and dozing off, startled by Lu Sheng's sudden outing, but he still reacted quickly.

"Well, where is Uncle Zhao now?

Lu Sheng asked casually.

There are many older people surnamed Zhao in Lufu, but there is only one person who can really be called Uncle Zhao.

That is the first master of the Lu family and the most powerful martial artist - Zhao Dahu, whom Lu Fang called Uncle Zhao.

"Uh... Uncle Zhao usually tempers his muscles and bones in the martial arts field at this time, and trains his family. "Xiao has a good relationship with other miscellaneous servants, and he is quite well-informed.

"Let's go to him. ”

Lu Sheng thought carefully for a long time, and knew that Zhao Bo should be the easiest for him to get in touch with, and he might be the key to self-preservation.

Following the path of the mansion, Lu Sheng quickly passed through the two bedrooms and came to the rear of the mansion.

On a large school field, an old man with gray hair is leading a dozen or so family members to practice his fists and feet.

The early morning sun gradually diluted the tragic events heard in the morning.

Martial artist Zhao Dahu was dressed in a short suit, with a black shirt and gray trousers, and a thick-backed broadsword that never left his body.

Lu Sheng was waiting on the sidelines.

Over there, Zhao Dahu trained the family members for a while, and then let them combine two by two.

He himself walked towards Lu Sheng. He had also seen Lu Sheng a long time ago.

"Eldest son, why do you have time to come to the school today?

Zhao Dahu's status in the mansion is about the same as that of the master.

There are also a few other martial artists, all of whom are not low in status, and compared with these young ladies and gentlemen, they are mostly equal exchanges.

Lu Sheng looked at the family members who were still practicing their fists and feet not far away.

"Uncle Zhao, I want to practice martial arts. ”

When he said this, the smile on Zhao Dahu's face paused.

"Brother Sheng, aren't you here to joke with the old man?"

"I'm not kidding. Lu Sheng shook his head.

He thought about it for a long time, and the only place where it was easiest for him to learn the power of self-preservation now was to find a martial artist in his own family to practice martial arts first.

Zhao Dahu, the martial artist in the family, Zhao Bo, has a sword technique, and there are only a few people in the entire Jiulian City who can suppress him.

Zhao Dahu looked at Lu Sheng seriously and shook his head.

"If Brother Sheng really wants to learn martial arts, the old man's ability is not impossible to pass on to you. It's just that..... You're too old now, your bones are set, and you can't practice a lot of movements at all.

If you don't practice this skill, your power will be greatly reduced....."

"It's fine. Uncle Zhao just taught me. ”

Lu Sheng not only wanted to find some self-preservation, but also wanted to confirm the experiment.

Zhao Dahu pondered for a while.

I readily agreed.

"Anyway, I have no children, and after staying in the Lu family for so many years, it is quite moisturizing, and the old man is also very good to us. According to the rules and regulations, if you learn from me, you have to worship the teacher.

But with my relationship with the Lu family, the apprenticeship is forgotten. As long as you don't spread the word. ”

Zhao Dahu waved his hand.

Lu Sheng, as the eldest prince, will sooner or later take over all the business properties of Lu Fu.

He also has the idea of getting closer to him in his heart.

"However, Brother Sheng, there is something I have to make clear to you first. ”

You say. Lu Sheng said seriously.

Zhao Dahu touched the beard on his chin and said in a deep voice.

"I know that you were stimulated because of the tragedy of the Xu family in the morning, and you want to learn martial arts to protect yourself.

But I'll tell you clearly, even the strongest masters can't deal with those weird and weird things. ”

“...... I see...."

Lu Sheng nodded.

"I'm just, I'm not sure, just do what I can do. ”

"It's good that Brother Sheng understands. Zhao Dahu thought for a while, and took out a booklet from his arms, which was wrapped in layers of yellow cloth.

He carefully and slowly opened it, revealing the innermost booklet.

There are a few large characters written on the surface of the booklet.

'Black Tiger Knife Method'.
