At noon, Lu Hao was in a small restaurant in the village and invited friends who contributed to drink wine and eat meat together.

This small restaurant was opened by the widow Wang, that is, the two houses were connected, and a few tables and benches were placed in it to open for business.

Widow Wang is very capable of housework, planted two acres of farmland, opened a small restaurant, and lived a prosperous life.

The widow of the king is about to run forty, and she is well maintained, and she looks like a young woman of thirty. The widow of the king is full of figures, and many bachelors are interested in her.

The king's widow was abandoned by her husband because she could not bear children. It is precisely for this reason that she is reluctant to marry and chooses to live alone.

Widow Wang's craftsmanship is good, she fried a few peasant dishes and stewed a pot of pork ribs.

Lu Hao and a few people gathered around a table, eating and drinking, and their hearts were happy. The villagers were curious about Lu Hao's experience and asked.

Lu Hao is bold and answers all questions. Regarding the fact that he once followed his master to the rivers and lakes, killing demons and catching ghosts, he added fuel and vinegar to it. Speaking of wonderful places, the villagers applauded and cheered.

As for Lu Hao's blood poison attack, bloody battle in Dongting Lake, and massacre of cultivators, there was no mention of it. It's better not to talk about this kind of thing, otherwise it will lead to death.

After eating and drinking, the villagers left one after another, leaving only Li Baxian and Lu Hao. Lu Hao took out a silver dollar and paid for the meal.

When paying, Widow Wang's hand deliberately touched Lu Hao's hand. Lu Hao was half drunk, and he knew in his heart that this widow Wang was lonely in her heart and needed to find someone to warm up.

Lu Hao said with a smile: "Before I leave the village, I must be more vigilant at night, especially those prodigal sons who wear masks, we must pay attention." After speaking, Lu Hao left.

The widow wondered what he meant, was he reminding me, or was he interested in me?

Lu Hao went out of the restaurant and learned of a bad thing. The bodies of four members of Li Dazui's family are gone.

At noon, Li Dazui's brother took a pot of wine and went to the grave to pay respects to Li Dazui, who died tragically, but as a result, the grave was dug up and the body inside was gone.

Li Dazui's brother hurriedly ran back to the village, just in time to run into Lu Hao and Li Baxian. Li Baxian stopped him, and after questioning, he learned that Li Dazui's body had been stolen.

When Lu Hao heard this, he hurriedly ran over, took a fixed look, and found that the grave had been dug up, and the four coffins inside had all been opened, and the corpses were missing.

When Li Baxian buried the deceased, in order to save trouble, Li Dazui's family of four was buried in a grave. This method is called joint burial, where a family dies together and is buried together, which is in line with the rules of the tomb.

When some of the villagers learned of this strange incident, they gathered around the grave and talked about it. Some people say that the bodies of four members of Li Dazui's family were stolen by wild dogs. Some people also say that they were eaten by the ghosts in Daliang Mountain.

Lu Hao scoffed at these speculations, and there was no evidence to talk nonsense.

Lu Hao ordered someone to salvage the coffin in the grave, and found that the coffin had blood stains on it and was dry.

The grave was dug up, not like a man, but more like an animal. The soil around the grave has left some footprints of different shades.

The footprints are the size of a palm, one deep and one shallow, and the four toes are deep into the soil and are clearly visible. The footprints are very special, not like wild dogs, nor like wild beasts such as tigers.

There were some traces of blood left next to the footprints, as well as marks left by the corpse as it was dragged.

Lu Hao wondered in his heart, what kind of monster likes to rob tombs and steal corpses?

Lu Hao asked: "Senior, what kind of beasts do you have in this area that like to eat corpses?" ”

Li Baxian pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "There are many beasts in Daliang Mountain, I have seen eating living people, and it is unheard of to eat corpses. ”

Lu Hao pondered in his heart, and based on the footprints left next to the grave, he deduced that the one who stole the body must be a monster. This monster steals the corpse and is bound to eat it.

It rained last night, the roads were muddy, and where the monsters passed, they were bound to leave footprints. As long as you follow the tracks, you will definitely find the monster's lair.

Lu Hao had a way in his heart, explained to Li Baxian, and began to search for the missing body.

Lu Hao followed the footprints all the way to the past and found that the footprints extended to the Daliang Mountain. Yang Yifeng went up the mountain road, and when he found halfway up the mountain, his footprints were gone. Without footprints, there are no clues, and it is difficult to find the body.

Daliang Mountain is hundreds of miles long, and it is difficult to find living people, and finding corpses is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lu Hao and the others were weak and could not complete this arduous task. If you want to go into the mountains to find the body, there is only one way, mobilize the villagers to act together.

But the villagers were timid and did not dare to enter the mountain, especially the continuous strange events that had happened in the past few days, which had already scared the villagers' courage.

There are many mountain spirits and beasts in Daliang Mountain, which will hurt people's lives, and in order to find corpses, it is not worth taking people's lives. After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Hao gave up this futile thing.

People are dead, what's the use of finding bodies?

Lu Hao returned to the village and was questioned by the villagers, since you came, too many strange things have happened in the village. When you came out of the coffin, did you send a spy from the evil spirits to kill us?

Some villagers accused him that you are a monster, how can a normal person jump out of a coffin.

Lu Hao couldn't cry or laugh at these doubts, and the dignified Maoshan Taoist priest caught ghosts and slayed demons and eliminated harm for the people, and he actually became an accomplice of evil spirits.

These villagers are too ignorant to care. Lu Hao didn't explain, and followed Li Baxian back home.

At this time, the villagers have grievances in their hearts, so they naturally want to find a punching bag. Lu Hao is an outsider, and he came out of the coffin, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the villagers.

Lu Hao understood, but he didn't want to explain, and when the truth surfaced, he would naturally be innocent.

At midnight, Lu Hao walked out of the door of his house and walked on the street, thinking about the sarcophagus in the ancient tomb, when suddenly, there was an exclamation from a farmer.

Lu Hao was shocked, ran over, and climbed over the wall. Lu Hao saw the two middle-aged couples running out of the house, and shouted that they were hell.

Lu Hao stopped them and asked, "You saw a ghost, what do you look like?" ”

The middle-aged man shuddered: "I didn't see what this ghost looks like, but there is indeed a ghost in my house, I don't believe you can go and see it." ”

The middle-aged woman said: "Didn't you say that you are a Taoist priest of Maoshan and have the ability to catch the ghost." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm going to clean up the ghosts." Lu Hao quietly walked over, lay on the door, looked inside, and found that the room was cloudy and windy, and a table was floating in mid-air.

The table turned around for a while, and suddenly flew towards Lu Hao at the door.

"Ahh There are ghosts! Lu Hao turned around and ran, the table dangled at the door for a while, and then returned to the house. A gust of wind blew, the leaves drifted away, and the doors of the house "clanged" together.

When the middle-aged couple saw Lu Hao running back, they said with disdain: "You big liar, pretending to be a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, you can run faster than a rabbit when you see a ghost." ”

Lu Hao broke out in a cold sweat and said embarrassedly: "The two of you misunderstood, I'm not afraid of ghosts." Although I am a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, I need spiritual runes and magic weapons to catch ghosts. ”

"I have nothing in me now, and I can't do anything when I meet a ghost, just like you.
