Chapter 57: Dried Corpse Monsters

Lu Zhan was very surprised when he heard this, and asked: "Since it is a joint operation between the Yan Mansion and the Secret Workshop, there are still many people who have survived, including the masters of the Qi Condensation Realm, so what kind of thing was it that attacked them before-whether it was a human or a monster, can't no one see it clearly?"

Xi Liuzi shook his head: "It's just that no living person can see who attacked it." For all those who saw the attack were turned into dry corpses without exception. However, he said that the villagers who now live near Baixiong Mountain are all so frightened that they have abandoned their homes and fled to the city for refuge. ”

Ma Lixiong was terrified when he heard it, he touched the cold hairs standing up on his skin, and muttered: "This Hundred Bear Mountain is not far from Yunmeng City, especially from our Lu Mansion, if you run with all your strength on horseback, it will be more than two hours away." In case the monster that turned people into dried corpses left Baixiong Mountain and ran to Lu Mansion to find new prey, then wouldn't we be going to fall into blood mold! This is really frightening, afraid of death, going to die!"

Lu Zhan asked Xi Liuzi again: "Sixth son, did you just say that there were several strange things that happened in Yunmeng City?

Xi Liuzi shrunk his neck and replied nervously: "I heard that there are several beautiful girls missing in the city, and one is missing almost every night these days, and the eighth one has disappeared last night." ”

"Really, is it a beautiful girl who is missing?"

Ma Lixiong, who was still deeply afraid of the dried corpse monster just now, immediately put his ear close to Xi Liuzi, he was surprised and frightened by the fact that a large number of stinky men had become dried corpses, but he didn't have any special excitement and enthusiasm, but when he heard the rumor that the beautiful girl was missing, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his mind began to think, and the peach color flew all over the sky.

"That's right, all of them are unbudding girls in the country, and a few of them are famous ladies from big families in our city. What's even more terrifying is that the bodyguards of the missing girl's family have also become dried corpses one by one, exactly the same as the dried corpses of the 'Iron Axe Gang', as if carved out of a mold. I'm almost certain that the same gang of people who robbed the maiden and made the dried corpses were the same people. Now all the families with daughters in the city are worried, and the bodyguards in those mansions are also in danger. If you want to talk about this Yunmeng City, it is simply a miserable wind and rain now, and the clouds are bleak. ”

Under Ma Lixiong's excited questioning, Xi Liuzi wrenched his fingers and said to Ma Lixiong: "Brother Ma, you have to know which girls are missing." Let me take a look - there is the only daughter of the horse outside the east of the city, the pearl of the owner of the 'Feiyun Restaurant', the two nieces of the shopkeeper Mu of the 'Tongbao Firm', oh, by the way, and the peony girl of the 'Baihualou' that you like to go to the most......"

"The peony girl is also missing!" Ma Lixiong let out an ugly wail like that of an earth dog after being injured.

"Ah, this is a red-card girl I admire the most and am infatuated with! I heard that this girl is ice clear and jade, out of the mud and not stained, I heard that she has always been a performer and not a body, what a good girl you say! What a damn demon? Will he extend his claws to such a pure and touching jade body......

Xi Liuzi turned his head and explained to Lu Zhan, who was standing on the side for unknown reasons: "Our little brother Ma is very hard everywhere, but his heart is too soft, he is too invested in his feelings, a woman who sells laughter in a green building, can she cry wolf like this?"

"What are you talking about?" Here Ma Lixiong was already crying into tears, and when he heard this, he pounced viciously at Xi Liuzi, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost regarded him as an enemy.

"Don't talk about my peony girl like that!" said Ma Lixiong, who was about to beat Xi Liuzi with his fist.

"Hey, pony, what are you doing? Xi Liuzi shouted while blocking his fist: "Isn't it just a little lady of the Qinglou, and you haven't even touched her fingers before." If you really want to touch a woman, I'll take you to 'Chunxiang Pavilion' and let you touch enough." ”

"Your 'Chunxiang Pavilion' is full of dirty and rotten goods, so I don't want it. Ma Lixiong roared like an angry lion.

"Okay, well, my 'Chunxiang Pavilion' is all dirty, just the girl in your 'Baihualou' Bingqing Yujie, all like an iceman. ”

Xi Liuzi joked: "You, don't come to tell me anything about vassal elegance, in fact, you kid is born cheap, and you also spend money, why do you go to the fake serious building that says that you don't sell your body to Yiyin, you deserve to be a virgin until now." ”

"What do you say? ”

"I said it, you were born to be cheap, and Ma Lixiong was born to be cheap......"

"I'll kill you with a thousand cuts!"

"Hey, Hina have you fought enough, haven't you wow? We tigers don't show their might, why are you a sick cat when you are a sick cat? Warning you, oh, if you beat me again, I'm going to fight you to death with the black tiger heart-snatching fist that I handed over to me......"

Lu Zhan watched the two of them crackle and add fists and feet, but he didn't bother to persuade these two guys who didn't have the slightest sense of urgency, as if they were practicing martial arts.

After making trouble for a while, Lu Zhan turned his head and grabbed Xi Liuzi: "Liuzi, let's talk about it, apart from those dried corpses and the disappearance of the girl, is there any special news?"

Xi Liuzi took back the copycat version of the wolf's tooth cracked empty palm that he was about to display, thought about it, and said, "There is another one, but I don't know if this news is special." ”

"You say it, come and hear it. Lu Zhan sat down across from him.

"Last night I had dinner with a few friends in the 'Baiju Restaurant', and I saw a promotional post of 'Juying Club' posted at the door of the restaurant,"

Xi Liuzi said: "The post reads: Because of the tragic extermination of the 'Iron Axe Gang', coupled with the panic caused by the corpse monsters, the business of various gangs in Yunmeng City has been more or less affected, and it is urgent to establish a new gang alliance organization to work together to overcome the difficulties." Therefore, all martial artists with martial arts cultivation are invited to join, and the salary is preferential. The Association will set up a 'Juying Banquet' at the 'Baiju Restaurant' tomorrow evening, and sincerely invite the heroes of all parties to discuss the righteous deeds. Those who are interested in joining the gang are invited to attend the meeting. The inscription is 'Ten Thousand Souls Club'. ”

"This post seems to be a job advertisement for the formation of a new gang called the 'Ten Thousand Souls Society'. Lu Zhan said.

"yes, that's what I thought. Xi Liuzi said: "I walked out of the restaurant after eating, and along the way I saw a post with the same content posted at the door of several gambling houses, restaurants and green buildings. Originally, there was nothing strange about the establishment of a new gang, but almost all of the gang business in Yunmeng City was controlled by the Yan Mansion. As far as I know, this Yanfu recruitment has always been carried out secretly, in order to maintain their special surname of making a fortune in a low-key and muffled voice, and they have never posted recruitment notices everywhere as blatantly as this time. So I think it's a little strange about this, and besides, the new gang is also called 'Ten Thousand Souls Society', which seems to have obtained a bit of an evil name. ”

Lu Zhan nodded slightly, and said his guess: "Maybe the strength of their Yan family has been damaged too much in the accident in Baixiong Mountain, and there are more powerful forces from outside that are persecuting step by step, so this time they are in a hurry to recruit people to replenish fresh blood, so they don't care about hiding their heads and tails, and they are mysterious." ”

Xi Liuzi shrugged his shoulders: "Maybe it's the elephant head who said so." Anyway, in the recent period, the atmosphere outside the city of Yunmeng City is so weird. It makes people panic in their hearts, and it seems that there is a huge and strange pressure in the air, and they are pressed head-on. ”

"Is there anything else, Sixth Son?" Lu Zhan asked him.

"Well, let me think about it -- there's really such a thing. Xi Liuzi said: "I heard that someone once saw Third Young Master Lu wandering around the abandoned long pavilion outside the city, as if he was looking for something. ”

"In the area of the Abandoned Long Pavilion?" Lu Zhan was stunned in his heart, "Isn't the 'Abandoned Long Pavilion' the place where I killed Steward Liu and Xue Liji? Could it be that the Third Young Master has found any clues? Well, it is possible, when I went to the Long Pavilion with Steward Liu and Xue Liji, it was daytime, and it was difficult to guarantee that someone would see us on the road." ”

"Hmph, even if your third young master really finds out, what can you do? You must know that even if you don't come to me, I will go to you, the culprit behind the scenes, to avenge the murder of my father!"

"Boss, are you okay?" Xi Liuzi saw that Lu Zhan was a little distracted, and shook his hand in front of his eyes.

"Oh, it's fine. Lu Zhan shook his head, he took out fifty taels of silver and handed it over, and said, "If there is nothing else to do, Liuzi, you can go back first, you cheer up and continue to pay attention to the development of the situation outside, if necessary, it is worth spending a little money to buy some gossip." ”

Xi Liuzi smiled and accepted the silver: "This dare is good, I'd better stay outside all the time to inquire about the news, and the money from your old man's reward." To say that the Lu Mansion has been made gloomy by the return of the third young master recently, and it is very depressing, and it is impossible to let people stay. ”

With that, he ran out as fast as he could.

After Xi Liuzi and Ma Lixiong left, Lu Zhan paced in the room with his hands behind his back, thinking in his heart: Some time ago, in addition to me killing the blind Qiu worship. Yunmeng City has always been very peaceful, why has there been a sudden strange talk of 'dried corpse monsters' recently? However, according to the time of occurrence, the time when many dried corpses and girls disappeared happened just after the third young master returned, so could all these strange things be related to the third young master?

Lu Zhan secretly deduced that with his keen sense of the small crystals in his dantian, the third young master's martial arts attainments should be in the late stage or even the peak stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, but he had not yet been able to break through to the realm of transforming strength.

According to his ability, it would not be a problem to destroy a gang of more than 200 people overnight, and he would not have destroyed the Ghost Face Cliff of thousands of people overnight when he was still at the peak of forging bones.

Of course, the mysterious little crystal in his body and the blood light slash that evolved later helped a lot. But God knows, what extraordinary and strange methods did this Third Young Master Lu, who claimed to be a martial arts genius since he was a child and was carefully guided by masters outside the world, hide.

But the problem is to turn more than 200 people into dried corpses at once?!

That was a bit of a strange thing, and why did you do it? Was it to practice some kind of sorcery, or was it to refine a strange talisman like the two yellow pieces of paper I had gotten earlier?

I can't see any clues from the third young master and the rumors in the market.

Lu Zhan was puzzled, only thinking that Ma Lixiong had said that the third young master would often leave the house alone, and sometimes he would not even come back overnight, so what was this evil and sneaky guy doing when he ran outside?

Lu Zhan felt the need to go out in person and conduct some reconnaissance on the activities of the third young master.

And if you want to scout and spy on a character, the best way is to follow the whole process secretly.
