Chapter 229: Sneaky

The slanting sun was shining, and Du Shen wandered aimlessly in a large mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The house is called Zhu Mansion, which is the residence of the local large families. The courtyard is located on the edge of the bamboo forest at the edge of Zhujia Town, covering an area of hundreds of meters. Now, the master and servant in the courtyard have long since been evacuated and moved to the inn in the town for temporary refuge. Just because the night began three days ago, the house in the Zhu Mansion began to be haunted, and two servants were injured one after another.

Zhu Yuanwai, the owner of the Zhu Mansion, had already reported the case to the yamen in the county. The yamen did send officials to come. It's just that those officials are not good at what they do, and they only stayed in the house for a day and a night, and last night they beat up all the time, damaged some furniture and gardens, and escaped with injuries.

Now, Zhu Yuanwai is asking for help from the Han family, the largest local cultivator, and recruiting Jianghu warlocks on the other hand. Zhujiazhen is far away from the Han family, and I am afraid that I will not get news for three or five days. Zhu Yuanwai can only rely on recruiting You Fang Taoist priests at present.

Du Shen pretended to be a warlock and joined the team recruited by the Zhu family. Nowadays, most of the warlocks stay in the inn to provide close protection for Zhu Yuanwai's family. Only Du Shen and a few others wandered in the Zhu Mansion, intending to catch the ghosts who were causing trouble.

Du Shen has been searching in Zhu's mansion for most of the afternoon, but he has not been able to find any famous halls. Du Shen wasn't sure if it was really a ghost. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Du Shen walked out of Zhu's Mansion and wandered in the surrounding bamboo forest. Du Shen's range of inspection became larger and larger, and he gradually walked back into the streets of Zhujia Town.

The spiritual energy in the Linghua realm is abundant, and occasionally there are people who are ignorant and passive to cultivate, and practice to become ghosts after death. There are also animals and plants, which are impregnated by the aura, open the spiritual aura, and become spirits. It's just that the ancient powers once laid down a large array, cast twelve pagodas, and blocked and suppressed the aura that mutated the living beings. Although there are often demons and ghosts in the Linghua realm, they can't become a climate, and they are immediately exterminated by the monks.

Recently, spirits and ghosts have been harming people in the rugged and shady realm. Even mortals who have seen enough can guess that it is the result of someone secretly manipulating.

Du Shen's trip was to get in touch with the monks who were manipulating behind the scenes.

In the restaurant, Du Shen had dinner with the other warlocks. Under the prodding of a few bastard warlocks, Zhu Yuanwai originally wanted to leave Du Shen behind to protect himself and his family. Because he heard a few warlocks boast that Du Shen's cultivation was the highest among everyone.

Du Shen didn't answer, and comforted Zhu Yuanwai for a while, full of confidence: "Don't worry! Tonight, I will definitely take down the ghost and make your house peaceful again." ”

Taking advantage of Zhu Yuanwai's hesitation, Du Shen said goodbye and left. Although a few bastards stood at the door, they didn't dare to really block the road. They are just third-rate warriors in the rivers and lakes, and they don't chase ghosts and demons at all. They felt that Du Shen was a handful of people who had cultivated to the top, and he seemed to be easy to speak. They just wanted to keep Du Shen as a protection.

Du Shen walked out of the inn and did not go to Zhu's Mansion as soon as possible. He wandered around the town. In Zhu's mansion, there were already ghosts left by Du Shen to monitor the movements. Du Shen's target is the person who manipulates the ghosts. He estimated that the other party was hiding in the distance and remotely controlled. Therefore, Du Shen focused his search on the outside of Zhu's mansion.

At first, it was not yet dark, and Du Shen walked indiscriminately, relying only on his eyes to try his luck. At this time, Du Shen's strength was low, and he had not yet learned the Tao. But he had already developed a vague sense of spirituality, and he could distinguish the monk's breath at close range.

Until the end of the day, Du Shen found several suspicious people inside and outside the town. Du Shen released ghosts and tested several suspects successively.

The ghost's attribute has reached 30, and with the skill support, even the early foundation building monks can't detect it. Du Shen made the ghost get close to him, and then let the ghost appear and attack. Several of the suspects behaved differently, but none of them looked like the people behind the scenes.

Du Shen recalled the ghosts and focused on exploring the wilderness outside the Zhu Mansion. The ghost went farther and farther, gradually beyond the bamboo forest, and involved the mountain forest. The ghost was not discovered for a long time, and Du Shen walked towards the Zhu Mansion and put the focus back on the sneakiness in the Zhu Mansion again.

The door of the Zhu Mansion has always been open. In the mansion, more than 20 monks were divided into several groups and stationed in each courtyard. There are also people who walk alone or stay on top of the roof. In almost every courtyard, a roaring fire is lit. Around the house, in front of and behind the corridor, and inside the gazebo, there are many big red lanterns. The lanterns swayed slightly in the wind, illuminating most of the mansion.

Du Shen just stepped through the door. A group of monks by the fire smiled and greeted the group, and warmly invited Du Shen to join them. Du Shen politely refused, chatted with everyone for a while, and wandered around the entire mansion.

Most of the Zhu Mansion was quiet, except for the monk's voice, no other movement could be heard. There is also a small half of the courtyard that is relatively close to the bamboo forest in the south, and you can faintly hear the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the bamboo forest.

Du Shen walked around, scattered more than a thousand ghosts, and focused on ambushing the dark house. Du Shen casually parked in a courtyard. He walked to the fire in the center of the courtyard and temporarily accommodated himself with the five monks. Du Shen took the initiative to take out the wine, distributed it to the five monks, and chatted with them.

The alcohol in the Linghua realm is not too high. Besides, the monk has true qi to protect his body, and there is a way to dissolve alcohol. The people are not afraid of mistakes, and there are many heavy drinks.

Time passed, and the wine shared by Du Shen had long been drunk. Some people were drunk and sat by the fire staring at the flames in a daze.

There has been no abnormal movement in Zhu's mansion. A lot of people got bored waiting and started moving around. From time to time, they stopped, talking nonsense. Even a few solitary monks looked impatient. Some of them jumped off the rooftops to join the chatting crowd. Some find a comfortable place and lie down and sleep.

Before you know it, it's the middle of the night. Inside and outside the Zhu Mansion, Du Shen's ghosts did not find anything abnormal. Du Shen thought that there would be no harvest tonight, but suddenly found that the breeze was slightly stronger, and a faint fishy smell wafted in the air.

Du Shen immediately became vigilant and held his breath. He waited for a moment, and saw that there was nothing strange about the people around him. Du Shen took two slight breaths and tasted carefully. He didn't notice any effect on his body from the sudden scent. Du Shen remained silent for a while, secretly paying attention to the reactions of the other monks in the mansion.

Not long after, a monk noticed the anomaly and asked his companion in a loud voice: "Hey, do you smell a sheep?"

After being reminded, more and more people opened their mouths to react, saying that they smelled fishy. Soon, someone noticed a more obvious anomaly: "It seems to be foggy." Beware, everyone! It's likely a ghost!"

In fact, Du Shen had also discovered that with the increasingly powerful air current, the entire Zhu Mansion began to fill with a thin mist. The fog was cloudy, and in the light of the fire and lanterns, it looked pink.

Du Shen drives the ghosts and tries to find the source of the wind and the pink mist. The ghost searched a kilometer radius and found nothing.

As the fog became more and more, it gradually became one. The smell in the air is getting stronger. Some people were afraid that the fog would be poisonous, so they flew up to the roof. More and more monks followed suit, and so did Du Shen.

The powder mist filled the air, rising higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, it flooded the roof. Du Shen and the other monks, out of caution, flew into the air one after another, staying at the top of the mist.

A monk glanced at the powder mist that was entrenched three or four hundred meters below and more than ten meters high, and asked worriedly: "Is the situation wrong tonight? I haven't heard Zhu Yuanwai say that there is such a big battle!"
