Chapter 222: Thunder Catcher, the Truth of Lu Mansion
Perhaps out of fear of the unknown in the dark, in ancient human civilizations, sunlight generally had a symbol of driving away and purifying evil spirits.
This is especially true in a world like this.
When the first rays of dawn shine on the earth, the originally silent market seems to be rejuvenated in an instant, the noisy sounds of people and animals rise in all directions, the doors and windows of every household open and close, and the people in the shops also open the curtains of the shops one after another, moving their legs and feet to prepare for the start of the day's livelihood.
It was also at this time that the patrol who was in charge of opening the door saw the hole in the gate of the market. In a panic, I hurriedly found the catcher in the market to come and check.
After another stick of incense, some villagers who lived nearby and went to the Fang Market to shop appeared at the gate of the Fang Market one after another, and immediately formed a circle after seeing the hole in the strong gate, and the discussion began.
"Let it all go! Let's get it! Thunder Catcher is coming! There was a shout from outside the crowd, and when they heard it, the crowd gathered around the door stepped out of the way and flashed out of the way.
A tall bearded man with a simple knife at his waist walked over surrounded by two fast catchers.
"The door is broken?" Thundertrap Hunter walked through the crowd to the door, glanced at the gap in the fence, and glanced around at the crowd.
"Hmm......" He touched his thick beard, held the hilt of the knife with one hand, squatted down, tilted his head to examine it carefully, and stood up again with a heavy complexion.
"What's going on? Chief! The young catcher on the side saw his boss showing such a solemn look, and immediately surrounded him, with a mixture of worry and excitement on his face.
Lei Zhutou did not speak.
He touched his chin and paced in front of the door for a few steps before waving his hand, and his tone was a little subdued and frustrated: "Dear mother! This door may have been gnawed by a wild boar! How big is this?! ”
in the crowd.
Luo Shen: "Huh?! (눈_눈)”
At this time, Lei Zhutou, who was talking boastfully, did not notice the expressions of a child and a little girl in the crowd.
I saw him pounding his chest, scratching his hands like chicken claws on his chest, as if emphasizing his already exaggerated tone: "Everyone be careful! It's not a trivial thing to encounter such a large wild boar in the wild! When you go out recently, you must have a few more people to go together! I'll go back to the workshop as soon as it's dark! ”
"Huh~~~" The crowd let out a burst of boos, and immediately dispersed after seeing that there was no excitement.
Seeing the crowd disperse, Lei Zhutou had a smug look on his face, and greeted his subordinates with a big grin: "Hurry up and ask someone to fix the door!" Patrol twice more at night! ”
"Huh? Boss, you don't need to patrol anymore, right? Several young catchers immediately complained of distress.
"What? So you don't have to get up to patrol Lao Tzu? What nonsense?! Lei Zhutou glared, and immediately blocked the words of his subordinates.
A few people staggered away.
What no one saw was that as soon as a few people turned around the corner, the faces of Lei Catchers with their heads turned away from the other catchers instantly became solemn.
The big hands with unusually thick joints and muscles clenched into fists......
……
"If the weird things in this world are so frequent that they need to be suppressed with the flag of all peoples...... Then it must not be too difficult to find someone who has or understands supernatural powers. At this time, Luo Shen was sitting in a teahouse, no, maybe it would be more appropriate to describe the tea shed in the corner teahouse.
Zhenxiu sat on Luo Shen's side, taking a sip of the tea bowl while carefully observing Luo Shen.
For her, this experience of just ten days has already made the "innocent" little girl complete a transformation.
At the beginning of last month, the eldest young master of the Lu Mansion got married, but the bride died of illness on the night of the wedding.
Happy events turn into funerals, and a high-ranking family like Lu Fu is naturally reluctant to publicize more, so they plan to handle the funeral in a low-key manner.
However, before the bride's body could be moved out of the house, there were people in the house who were scared to death one after another.
At first, there were a few servants and maids, and finally even the children and grandchildren, young masters and grandmothers of the second and third generations of the Lu family were gradually killed......
Naturally, it is impossible for the Lu family to sit still.
Not only did he invite the masters who had been worshipping at home, but Zhenxiu also inadvertently heard that the old lady invited an ancestral treasure brought by the Lu family from the Qi Kingdom to suppress the evil spirit!
However......
It was after that night that everything changed!
To this day, Zhenxiu still remembers that night, the old lady of the Lu family, the old man of the Lu family, the second and third generations of the Lu family, the uncle, the son, and the worshipper were all gathered in the main courtyard.
The subordinates of the Lu family were told that they were not allowed to peep, and they were to stay in the backyard and not to walk around.
That night, Zhenxiu and the other Lu family members were crowded in the backyard, and she and her best little sisters sat next to each other at the bottom of the cloister.
Maybe it was because she drank more herbal tea at night, and Zhenxiu, who had been sitting for a while, felt anxious, so she left the backyard from the small door under the cover of the little sister and went out to relieve herself.
However.
At that time, she didn't know that it was her internal rush that made her the only survivor of the entire Lu Mansion! also made her experience a nightmarish horror life for more than half a month!
In the past half a month, Zhenxiu has recalled what happened to her more than once.
That night.
As soon as she finished untying her hands, two people entered the toilet next door.
Maybe it's because the housekeeper specifically said that he was not allowed to leave the backyard for half a step, or maybe some daughters were shy, Zhenxiu didn't make a sound, and planned to wait for the convenient person next door to leave before returning to the backyard.
However, it was at this point that she overheard the conversation between the two men......
It was the voice of Young Master Lu Ping and the housekeeper.
But the content of the conversation made Zhenxiu shudder: it turned out that the death of the young grandmother was not an accident at all! It was the Lu family's own doing!
This Lu family is not at all the businessmen of Qi State as they said to the locals when they came to Gyeongju more than 20 years ago!
The Lu family.
It is basically a demon family that has committed a lot of bloody crimes in the Qi country and cultivated evil arts that hurt the heavens and reason.
When he came to the Great New Dynasty, he offended other demons who cultivated evil arts in the Qi Kingdom, and he had no choice but to flee to the Great New Dynasty.
It's just that the enemy of the Lu family seems to have chased and killed him recently, and the Lu family found the bride of the "special personality" and deliberately killed her, intending to practice an evil art to kill the enemy tonight in the way of sacrificing their subordinates with the evil art and blood cultivated by the Lu family!
"Ready?" Lu Ping asked the housekeeper.
"It's ready, after a while, the 'bride' will come out if there is no ash at the bottom of the pot to cover the popularity, but it will not work, and the little one will naturally not dare to slack off on this matter!"
"It's a good job, the resentful spirits refined this time are not trivial, once the ritual leads to the resentful spirits, it can't be without the blood sacrifice of the 24 subordinates in the backyard, and it's no problem over there, right?" Lu Ping seemed to be a little uneasy and asked.
Zhenxiu heard the housekeeper pat his chest: "Young Master, aren't you still worried about my errands?" Including those who watched the group of people, there were 24 in total! No less than one! ”
This is the end of the conversation between the two.
And this conversation fell word for word in Zhenxiu's ears.
