Chapter 17: The Demon
After drinking half a pot of hot tea brewed by his daughter-in-law Mu Hanxiang, Lu Yu told her that she was going to eat in her eldest brother's yard, and asked her and the three maids to stay in the yard to solve the lunch problem by themselves.
After speaking, Lu Yu, who had changed into a cyan Confucian robe, walked out of his yard and walked along the verandah at the edge of the artificial lake towards the courtyard of his eldest brother Lu Wen.
The volume accounts for one-tenth of the total area of the entire Taiping Town, and there are a total of ten courtyards, and Lu Yu's courtyard, located in the northeast corner of the entire Lu Mansion, is the most remote and narrow courtyard in the entire Lu Mansion.
Originally, Lu Yu's father, Lu Long, assigned Lu Yu a large courtyard, but for reasons of privacy and Taoist cultivation, Lu Yu rejected the large courtyard and chose the most remote and smallest courtyard instead.
In addition, the back door of Lu Mansion is not far from Lu Yu's courtyard, which also provides the most convenient geographical environment for Lu Yu to sneak out.
Just as Lu Yu was walking along the verandah towards his eldest brother's courtyard, the purple ghost Liu Manyun followed Lu Yu in a fluttering manner, looking like a fart.
"Don't worry, I have a good memory, I will relay the things you told me to Zhou Fang, and I will also tell the person who killed you, you can go back, you don't have to follow me......" After walking to a corner where no one was paying attention, Lu Yu stopped and turned his head to say to Liu Manyun.
"I'm not going to follow you, I'm going to find Zhou Lang, just ...... by the way" After listening to Lu Yu's words, the purple ghost Liu Manyun replied to Lu Yu with a shy.
"I advise you, people and ghosts have different paths, if you stay by Zhou Fang's side all the time, you will suck his yang energy, and over time, you will become a ghost and not a ghost, and he will have a great loss of life and become a walking corpse who is not a human or a ghost......" Regarding the persistence of the purple ghost Liu Manyun, Lu Yu kindly advised her.
"I know, I won't harm Zhou Lang, I'm just looking at him from afar......" After sighing sadly, the purple ghost Liu Manyun said faintly.
"I advise you not to come to see Zhou Fang again, after all, he is a pervert who messes with women all day long, don't you feel sad to see him mingling with other women? After all, you once ...... Lu Yu, who took another step forward and continued to move forward, persuaded the purple ghost Liu Manyun again.
"Sad ......" To Lu Yu's question, Liu Manyun replied in an almost imperceptible voice.
"Since you're sad, let's go back to your cemetery, in the afternoon, when I finish lunch, I will go to the mass grave to find you, at that time, you just tell me the location of your burial, tomorrow at noon, Zhou Fang and I will go to help you move the grave on time, you can go......" Lu Yu, who didn't want to be watched by the ghost for lunch, persuaded the purple ghost Liu Manyun to leave again.
"Good...... Okay......" After lowering her head and sighing bitterly, the purple ghost Liu Manyun slowly floated away, however, she had just come out of the wall, and after leaving for less than ten seconds, she came back.
"What, what's the matter?" Frowning and looking at the purple ghost Liu Manyun who had gone and returned, Lu Yu asked her in a deep voice.
"That, there's something I want to tell you, I just forgot it, and I just remembered it," Liu Manyun, the purple ghost who stared at Lu Yu's eyes, said to Lu Yu solemnly: "There is a demon in your yard, and, I have seen it, that demon aura is emanating from the colorful pheasant in your backyard, if my expectations are not bad, that colorful pheasant should be a demon!" ”
"I'll go as one, you didn't say it earlier!" Thinking that there were only four weak women left in his yard, and the four of them could not be the opponents of the monsters at all, Lu Yu, who had already walked half the way, immediately turned around and accelerated towards his small courtyard.
And Liu Manyun, who was floating behind Lu Yu and looking at Lu Yu's nervous appearance, muttered in an imperceptible voice: "It's a good man......"
Suddenly, Mu Hanxiang, who was instructing the maids to prune the flowers and plants in the yard, hurriedly stepped forward to greet Lu Yu after seeing him running back, and asked curiously: "Xianggong, ...... you?"
"I'll tell you later, you ......" After raising his hand and calling all the maids over, Lu Yu instructed the four women present: "I'll go to the back room now, don't come over, remember!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for the four women present to respond, Lu Yu ran into the courtyard where the back cover room was located.
At this time, the colorful pheasant was nesting in the thatched nest and pecking at its feathers, when it suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and looked up at the man running towards him.
"You're a demon?" When he ran only five or six meters away from the colorful pheasant, Lu Yu stopped, squinted at the hen pheasant in the nest, and secretly raised his spiritual power, ready to shoot at any time.
Although on the surface, Lu Yu is quite calm, but in his heart, he is nervous to death, after all, he has lived in the Great Song Dynasty for twelve years, and it is the first time for him to face the new life form of "demon", and he doesn't know if he can use the trick to deal with ghosts on the demon's body, if not, it will be disgusting.
"Yes......" As Lu Yu's words fell, a very ethereal voice sounded, and a female voice similar to the "ghost sound" of the purple ghost Liu Manyun came from the colorful pheasant.
"Ya ......" and "ghost sound" just fell, Mu Hanxiang, who was worried about Lu Yu like a sister and didn't listen to the persuasion to come over, covered her mouth and exclaimed again and again after witnessing the pheasant talking, and even, her legs were scared and weak, and she only stood firm after holding Lu Yu's arm hard.
"Didn't I let you come along!" Seeing his daughter-in-law's expression of being scared to cry, Lu Yu pretended to be angry and yelled at her.
"Xianggong, I'm worried about your ......" Finally, Mu Hanxiang, who was still in tears, replied to Lu Yudao with a trembling voice.
"Since you're here, go over and close the door, don't let the maids see it, otherwise, the matter of monsters coming to my yard will spread all over the city......" Lu Yu coldly ordered Mu Hanxiang.
"Yes, Xianggong ......" Mu Hanxiang, whose eyes were full of tears, after listening to Lu Yu's order, leaned sideways and held on to the wall, and slowly went to close the door of the courtyard where the back cover room was located.
"Don't worry, although I'm a monster, I won't harm you, because," After seeing Lu Yu and Mu Hanxiang so nervous, the colorful pheasant spoke again: "You are my savior, not only will I not harm you, but I also have to repay you!" ”
"Since I am kind to you, and you don't want to harm me, then let me give you a little advice, after all, we are demons with different paths, and it doesn't seem too good to live in the same space, I think, you can leave freely now......" Lu Yu, who didn't want to believe the words of the colorful pheasant at all, persuaded it to leave.
In Lu Yu's eyes, demons are more terrifying than ghosts, after all, ghosts used to be people, and with people's thinking, they could at least talk, but the demon species had everything in a mess, and they were not human beings, and they didn't have people's thinking, so it was estimated that it was difficult to talk.
"You didn't drive away the female ghost next to you, why did you drive me away?" Sure enough, the chicken demon, who was very different from people's thinking, directly refuted Lu Yu.
didn't wait for Lu Yu to reply, closed the door, Mu Hanxiang, who had just come back, happened to listen to all the words of the chicken demon, and knew that Lu Yu was followed by a female ghost, so she exclaimed again: "Ah......"
