After everyone fell asleep, Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an went out to the town.

Lu Yu took Yan Xi'an and passed directly to the roof of the town guard compound. This is not the first time Lu Yu has been to this place at night, but when he came before, there were many people in the courtyard, including Shan Tianfang, Shan Tianfang's subordinates, and a group of lively children.

It's late February, and there should be a crescent moon in the sky, but tonight's weather is not good, and the moon is hiding behind the clouds, looming. The courtyard was dark and hazy.

Yan Xi'an's cultivation already has some foundation, even in the dark night, she can see a lot of things clearly, as for Lu Yu, let alone that.

At this time, it was not too early, nor too late, Lu Yu did not hear the movement of the two officials, and he was not in a hurry.

Yan Xi'an whispered to Lu Yu: "Uncle, do you think it's a bit scary here?" ”

Of course, Lu Yu didn't feel terrible, he believed that even on a dark night, nothing dirty would dare to approach him. However, the night was too quiet, and the courtyard was deserted, lifeless, and indeed looked a little weird.

Lu Yu gently hugged Yan Xi'an, and also whispered: "Xi'an, you don't know, you have already cultivated, and you have a 'fairy qi' on your body, and no bad thing dares to approach you." ”

"Really?" Yan Xi'an was very happy to hear this, and asked, "What is the 'immortal qi' like, can you see it?" ”

"Well, it's a purple mass of qi, and when you cultivate to a certain level, you can see it." Before breaking through the third layer of the kitchen knife formula, Lu Yu had to be out of his body to see the purple air mass, but now even in his physical state, he could vaguely see the purple qi carried by the living and the black qi lingering around the deceased.

"Uncle, is the 'immortal energy' on your body much better than mine?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's a little more than you." ”

"Hmph, you are obviously a layman, and you dare to be more immortal than me."

"No, I saw it wrong, you are a little fairy, I am an ordinary man, and you have more fairy energy."

"Hee-hee-hee, it's good that you know."

Lu Yu also smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said: "In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, I saw a strong purple qi rising twice, I didn't know who was casting spells at that time, but now that I think about it, maybe it was the master Gao who Lin Siyao invited to do it." ”

"Is that purple qi very strong? How do you compare with uncle? ”

"It shouldn't be as good as me." On the night when Lu Yu cultivated to break through the third layer, he didn't know how much purple qi he absorbed from the sky, and those foreign purple qi were sucked into Lu Yu's soul, and finally merged into Lu Yu's soul, which seemed to have become a part of his soul.

It's a pity that Lu Yu didn't know how to use this large wave of purple qi that he had absorbed.

Yan Xi'an said: "I also think he is definitely not as good as you, uncle, you are the second most powerful in the world." ”

"Yes, of course, the most powerful person in the world is Xi'an."

Yan Xi'an grinned and was about to speak again, but when he saw Lu Yu waving his hand, his voice was very low, and he said softly: "Someone is coming, it's two people." ”

Yan Xi'an nodded and lowered his body a little.

Dark clouds obscured the moon in the sky, the night wind gusted, and some loose roof tiles were blown to a rattle.

Two people opened the courtyard door and quietly walked into the courtyard. In the night, Lu Yu saw that it was the two officials who came in, and the two of them almost stopped one step at a time, very cautious.

When he entered the courtyard, the big man said, "Senior brother, can you find that thing at night?" ”

"I can't find it, I can't help it, I've come here." The little man walked ahead and entered a room.

The room was very dark and dark, and the open door was like the mouth of a wild beast with its huge mouth, and the two officials walked in as if they had entered the belly of the giant beast.

Lu Yu couldn't speak, the night was too quiet, as long as they made a little noise, they might alarm the two officials.

Soon, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets sounded in the room again.

Lu Yu originally thought that the two would come out soon and search for the next one, but after waiting for a while, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the house.

"Ah, what is this?" It was the big man who didn't know what strange things he had seen, and he exclaimed in surprise, and even his voice changed color.

"Senior brother, don't panic, this thing can't hurt anyone." The little man was calmer, but his voice trembled slightly.

Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an were very curious, what did these two see?

Then he heard the tall ruler say, "This is the ...... Is it an individual? How are we going to get him back? ”

"It's not a human, it's a ghost." The little man said, "Master Gao has given me a magic weapon to bring this thing back." ”

Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an were both shocked, and the two of them looked at each other, thinking: "These two people actually came here to catch a ghost back, who is this ghost?" Could it be that he was a fierce ghost with a very strong spirit, and Lin Siyao wanted to use it to deal with Lu Yu. After thinking about it again, the two of them felt that it was unlikely, if it was really a very powerful ghost inside, with these two officials, they would not be able to bring it back. Lu Yu closed his eyes again, opened them suddenly, and sure enough, he found that wisps of black qi were emitting from the hut.

Lu Yu decided to go and see what kind of ghost was in the house now. He told Yan Xi'an to wait on the roof for a while, and jumped down lightly.

The little man was holding a small vermilion gourd in his hand, the gourd was like porcelain and wood, and he didn't know what material it was. The gourd's mouth was facing the ghost hiding in the corner.

Lu Yu looked up at the trembling ghost hiding in the corner, and then couldn't help but scream.

"Is that you?" When the two officials heard Lu Yu's shout behind them, they were startled, and turned around, their faces full of panic.

Yan Xi'an also jumped off the roof, stood beside Lu Yu, and asked him what was wrong. The ghost shrank in a corner, and Yan Xi'an's vision was blocked by the door frame, so he couldn't see him.

Lu Yu didn't go to see the two officials, nor did he talk to Yan Xi'an, and looked at the ghost in a daze.

The two officials stood motionless, not knowing what to do.

Lu Yu took a step forward and stopped again. Yan Xi'an asked him again: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"That's my dad." Lu Yu's voice trembled.

"Ahh Is that...... Uncle? Yan Xi'an walked to the other side of Lu Yu and also saw the ghost, which was the ghost of Lu Yu's father.

Yan Xi'an was slightly scared, Lao Lu's face was all blue, his eyes were only open with a slit, his eyes were pitch black, and there seemed to be no whites of his eyes.

Lao Lu doesn't look like a person, even if the two officials don't say anything, Yan Xi'an will not treat Lao Lu in front of him as a person.

Lu Yu didn't dare to approach his father, stood outside the door, and called softly: "Dad." "Father really died, now Lu Yu can be sure. Although Lu Yu had long expected that his father would probably not be alive, when he suddenly saw the ghost of his deceased father, the grief in his heart still surged up like a tide.

The two officials knew that their trip must be in vain, so they had to take advantage of Lu Yu's distraction and quietly slipped out.

Lao Lu didn't seem to hear Lu Yu's call, and kept shrinking in the corner of the hut, trembling.

"Dad, it's me, Lu Yu." Lu Yu was extremely sad and sad, and wanted to go over to take a closer look at his father, but he knew that his aura was too strong, even if he deliberately suppressed it, it was not something that the current old Lu could bear.

Lao Lu seemed to be a little confused, although he heard Lu Yu's call this time, he only raised his head and lowered his head again.

Yan Xi'an didn't know what to say, let alone what to do, she looked at Lu Yu, then at Lao Lu, and sighed softly.

Lu Yu didn't know what his father's soul would guard the yamen, could it be that he was killed by the previous town guard and imprisoned his soul in this place? Lu Yu recalled carefully, but he didn't remember who the last town guard was and what his name was.

All the doubts were only clear to Lao Lu, and Lu Yu shouted again: "Dad, don't you recognize me?" I'm Lu Yu. ”

Seeing that Lao Lu still didn't react, Yan Xi'an spoke, she blushed, and said softly: "Uncle, I am your daughter-in-law, my name is Yan Xi'an." ”

"Men are yang, women are yin", maybe because of this, or maybe because the girl said that she was his daughter-in-law, Lao Lu finally reacted this time, he raised it, and his iron blue face was full of confusion.

Lu Yu took a step back and let Yan Xi'an stand in front, maybe in this way, Lao Lu would feel more comfortable.

The moon in the sky was completely obscured, not even a star was visible, and the two officials did not know where they had gone.

Dunlin Town guards the yamen courtyard, standing a man and a woman, facing the door of a hut.

The yard was quiet and there was hardly any sound.

After a long time, the confusion on Lao Lu's face finally subsided a little, and he also recognized Lu Yu. Lao Lu spoke, his voice was hoarse: "Lu Yu, is it you?" ”

"Dad, it's me." Lu Yu's tears were already rolling down.

"Lu Yu, are you here to pick me up?" Old Lu stood up a little straighter, but he still didn't dare to take one more step forward, for him, the coercion emanating from Lu Yu's body was too strong, and he couldn't get close for half a minute.

"I'm here to take you home." Lu Yu took a step back and said, "Dad, where is your body?" I'll take you back and take you to my mother's. ”

"Where's my body?" Lao Lu didn't seem to remember much where his body was, he touched his head, thought for a while, remembered again, pointed to the ground under his feet and said, "It's here." ”

"Here? How did it end up here? Dad, you are the one who was sent to the yamen...... Is it harmful? Lu Yu didn't expect that his father, who had been looking for several years, would die in the town guard yamen, but he never found out.

"I remember, here it is." Lao Lu said: "I remember that it was very cold that day, I drank a lot of wine, and then an official brought me here. Lao Lu's soul was very weak, and after saying a few words, he stopped and rested for a while, and then continued: "Later, I fell asleep, no, I didn't fall asleep, I died, and the official was afraid of things, so he dug a pit in this room and buried me." ”
