Without the protection of the hiding beads, Ma Xianhong and Zhang Chulan clung to the corner of the wall, detecting flying insects in mid-air, and guarding against possible dangers at any time.

The other side.

Lu's ancestral hall, in the courtyard.

Suddenly, a cloudy wind blew in, blowing into the corridor on the right, down the wooden floor, until it came outside a certain hut.

In the hut, there was an old man sitting at the rosewood table, looking at the scriptures on the table, studying carefully, but at some point, his pupils shrank and he noticed an abnormality outside the house.

He was silent on the surface, but the Qi breath in his body began to condense, and a ball of Qi appeared in the palm of his hand hanging under the table, sneering in his heart, thinking to himself Where did Xiao Xiao come from, he used such a clumsy trick to sneak into his Lu family ancestral hall, isn't it impossible to find death?

But the faint voice that suddenly sounded outside the house immediately made his face change greatly.

"Second uncle, what's the hurry, I'm Lu Liangna."

The immature voice and the familiar tone, when it came into the old man's ears, made his pupils shrink sharply at this moment, and the whole person trembled visibly.

There was a muffled thud.

The old man stood up suddenly, and with a wave of his palm, he tore the wooden window of the study room from a distance, revealing the door, and slowly revealing the tall man in the dress from the yin wind.

"You, you...... Are you Lu Liang? You're the obstacle! ”

He stared at the old man with wide eyes, staring at the tall boy whose face had not changed at all, and subconsciously scolded angrily, but he didn't expect the other party to dare to return to Lujia Village and come to the Lujia ancestral hall!

In the night, Lu Liang's face remained unchanged, he kneaded the blue hidden bead in his hand, and said softly: "Second uncle, don't you even believe me?" Even you think I killed my sister? ”

Lu Shao, who came to his senses, calmed down his heavy breathing, pointed at Lu Liang with one hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the matter is over, do you still want to quibble?" You are a wicked obstacle, do you know what a big loss Lu Huan's death means to the second room of my Lu family? You can't afford to lose a few lives! ”

Lu Liang's eyes trembled, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Second master, in your eyes, are we just weights that can be placed at will?" Just because I Lu Liang can't practice the soul art well, don't I even deserve the opportunity to prove my innocence? ”

Lu Shao sneered: "You are a wicked obstacle, I won't say much to you, you can keep these words and tell the head of the family when the time comes!" ”

"I'm going to pull out your bones and cramps, put you in front of Huan'er's grave, and go down to Jiuquan to make amends for her!"

As he spoke, the aura on his body became more and more turbulent, and he began to run the Lu family's peerless Ruyi strength, stepping on his body, like an old ape drilling towards the window, to take down Lu Liang.

He thought so, but at the moment when he saw Lu Liang's eyes clearly, the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he was stunned in place, and the Qi breath in his body was out of control at this moment, or in other words, he lost control of the whole person's body!

"You, you evil beast, what do you want to do!"

Lu Shao's throat rolled, but he couldn't make a sound, just stared at Lu Liang's hand, and the two Qi balls, one blue and one red, that appeared at some point, felt a breath of qi emanating from it, which made him somewhat familiar.

"Second uncle, since you said so, then I can't just arrest him."

"You have wanted me to practice Ming Soul Art since I was a child, but my talent will never be comparable to Lu Huan, so you always like her more, I know all this, but how could I kill Lu Huan and my own sister for this?"

"I can't be arrested, I have to prove my innocence, I want to find the real murderer of my sister......"

As Lu Liang spoke, he slowly raised his palm, turning the blue light into silk threads and connecting to Lu Shao's body in front of him, making the latter's eyes roll and immediately lose consciousness.

Immediately after, the old man's body trembled, and his soul flew out of the Heavenly Spirit Gai, turning into a translucent form, and was pinched into a white light by the building.

Lu Liang checked the old man's past memories in order to make him lose all his impressions of tonight.

"You always let me practice the Ming Soul Technique, and now that I have practiced it, I have practiced both hands, but I can't go back."

He muttered to himself, and after making sure that Lu Shao did not have the information he wanted in his memory, he then moved his mind and withdrew his hands, and then with this plop, he fell straight to the ground, his eyes rolled white, and saliva continued to flow out of his mouth.

Lu Liang turned around, looked around at the quiet ancestral hall, and after making sure that there were no other threats, he edited the message on his mobile phone.

Outside the ancestral hall.

Just two minutes passed.

Ma Xianhong and Zhang Chulan, who were huddled in the corner, immediately climbed over the wall and quickly joined up with Lu Liang after receiving the news that Lu Liang had succeeded.

"The history of your Lu family is really brilliant, and there are really a lot of cards on this ancestral hall." Zhang Chulan looked at the entrance of the incomparably magnificent ancestral hall in the center, looked at the plaques hanging on various champions and jinshi, and expressed his affirmation at the exit.

Lu Liang searched for the tunnel entrance according to his memory, and said casually:

"The old ancestor is indeed promising, stronger than me."

"Found it, right here."

When the words fell, Lu Liang, who had already walked to the side of the rockery on the side of the corridor, waved his hand, and then bent down and stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to open a certain mechanism, but he didn't succeed after all.

Immediately following the two people, Ma Xianhong squatted down, looked at the small traces hidden on the seemingly ordinary blue bricks, and said with a smile: "It's just a simple trick that can be easily cracked." ”

As he spoke, he took out a small stick in the shape of chopsticks from his bosom and injected it into Zhenqi, extending its surface, and many small tentacles like wires sank into it along the gaps in the green bricks, slowly squirming.

After a short time, there was a very faint cracking sound from under the green bricks, and then it trembled and parted to both sides, revealing a dark passage.

It was as if it hadn't been opened in years, and there was a strong musty smell wafting from it, like the strange stench of rotting weeds soaked in the sewers and fermented.

"Brother Ma is awesome."

Zhang Chulan gave Ma Xianhong a thumbs up, and looked at Lu Liang, who couldn't wait and was already going down, and followed in.

Ma Xianhong walked last, and did not forget to close the green bricks again to let everything return to normal.

In a dim cavern.

Zhang Chulan didn't even dare to use the lightning method to illuminate, for fear of igniting the possible biogas and blowing all three of them into the sky.

Ma Xianhong opened a small lighting magic weapon, and it was easy to make the entire cave clear.

When they walked down the long staircase and finally saw what was going on inside, they all looked at each other in unison.

"That's ...... Grave packs? ”

Zhang Chulan was a little confused.

In the depths of the Lu family ancestral hall, there is a huge basement.

And in the basement, there is a lonely tomb.

When they saw the grave bag, the three people who broke into the ground were a little confused.

Even Lu Liang froze and rubbed his eyes, feeling that the scene in front of him was different from what he expected.

"A hole was dug in the ground, and a mechanism was used to seal the door, if there was only one grave...... It was no ordinary grave either. ”

Lu Liang muttered to himself, then quickened his steps and walked towards the bulging mound.

The empty basement was not damp, on the contrary, it was dry.

There is a stele in front of the tomb, there is not a word on the stele, and the mound of soil behind the stele is very hard, after many years, it has already been as hard as cement.

"For whom is this tomb erected?"

Lu Liang bent over, stretched out his hand and gently touched the wordless tablet, his words full of doubts.

"Could it be that the owner of this tomb has something to do with your family's soul magic? After all, the grave is buried in the basement...... It's a bit of a strange thing, especially since it's a nameless tomb. Zhang Chulan reminded, "Why don't we try to dig down and see what's inside?" ”

While looking at Ma Xianhong, who was groping around the walls, he said in a deep voice at this time: "In this basement, there have been other things in the past, and there are holes that seem to be carved out of a hammer. ”

He groped for the wall on the right hand side of the nameless tomb, and found two holes in the masonry, in which he found a slight amount of rust, and compared the distance, a little wider than his shoulder, and a guess suddenly appeared in his heart, and continued: "Do you think it is possible, this is a dungeon? ”

"Dungeon?"

Zhang Chulan and Lu Liang spoke in unison, turned their heads to look at Ma Xianhong at the same time, and saw the solemn expression on each other's faces.

Zhang Chulan swallowed and said, "Brother Ma, why do you think this is a dungeon?" ”

Ma Xianhong rubbed his chin, looked at the hole set in the wall, and then looked at the lonely nameless tomb, and said, "It's just my guess, or some kind of intuition." ”

"You see, the distance between the hole and the ground is about as high as my shoulder, and the distance between the two holes is wider than my shoulder, but not too wide."

"There are still signs of wear and tear at the opening of this hole, and there is rust left, which in my opinion is something like a fixed iron chain and iron cable, left over the years."

Zhang Chulan interjected at this time: "So you think that this place has once detained someone, or some people?" ”

"Tsk, it's worthy of studying the mechanics, Village Chief Ma's observation ability is really strong!"

Ma Xianhong nodded, didn't say much, but turned his gaze to the lonely grave: "Do you say that in this tomb, will there be people who were once locked in this dungeon?" ”

Lu Liang turned around suddenly, looked at the mound of graves, and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Chulan, what did you just tell me?" ”

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and said tentatively: "Planing, digging graves? ”

"Dig now!"

Lu Liang took the lead in taking a step, holding Zhen Qi in both hands, like a shovel, and began to dig up the grave bag mercilessly.

Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong glanced at each other, looked firmly, and also joined the ranks of digging graves.

……

Meanwhile.

Lujia Village, the center of the village.

One of the most magnificent buildings is the living place of the heads of the family, and because it is not yet late at night, the lights are still on in the house.

Lu Ci was wearing a white practice shirt, sitting on a rosewood back chair, with that bloodshot one-eye, staring blankly at the bright moon outside the window, as if he was recalling something.

The steaming teacup on the table gradually cooled down, and it was not picked up once until it ran out of temperature.

I don't know why, tonight's thoughts are complicated, he always can't calm down, and he has no intention of sleeping, and he thinks about it for a long time before he remembers it suddenly, so it is even more difficult to sleep.

"August 21, the day you left, is also August 21, it's been five years......"

Lu Ci muttered in his mouth, that in the past, he had always been cold and resolute in front of outsiders, but at this moment it seemed very complicated, like an ordinary old man who was entangled by heavy memories.

It wasn't until a long time had passed that he gritted his teeth and stood up and walked out of the house, as if he had made a decision.

"Let's go see the old man."

Lu Cizhu walked down the stairs slowly with the cane in his hand, looked at the maid who was coming downstairs, just waved his hand, signaled him not to follow, and pushed open the wooden door alone and walked into the moonlight.

……

Meanwhile.

Outside Lujia Village.

Somewhere mountain pack.

A large tree standing on a cliff wall with a wide view.

Lu Jin, who was looking straight in the direction of Lujia Village, was suddenly stunned, and saw the old figure walking out of the door from a long distance.

"It's time at this point, what is that old guy Lu Ci coming out for, isn't it that I'm dazzled?"

Lu Jin's brows furrowed slightly, and then his mind moved, and he drew two enhanced versions of the lookout charm, used them on his eyes, stared at his fiery eyes, and looked in the direction of Lujia Village again.

This time it was much clearer, it was already certain that it was Lu Ci, the other party was walking on crutches unhurriedly, walking on the wide road, and then turned into the alley, it seemed that it was gradually approaching, the ancestral ancestral hall on the south side of the village!

"Lu Ci, this old man, did he find something wrong?"

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully observing the direction of the other party, it was indeed Zhang Chulan's group of little babies, where they sneaked into tonight, and there was a guess in their hearts immediately, but they were not sure.

……

Lujia Village.

The willows on the moon are silent.

Lu Ci walked alone under the frost-white moonlight, and the straight spine that was usually upright seemed a lot stiffer at this moment, and I don't know if it couldn't bear the moonlight, or it couldn't bear it, the memory that rose like a tide.

"Hello master!"

There were a few night patrol officers who laughed and walked out of the alley, and when they saw Lu Ci's figure clearly, they were so frightened that they froze in place, stretched their bodies upright, and greeted them respectfully one by one.

Lu Ci just glanced at a few people lightly, didn't say anything, and continued to move towards the destination.

Behind him, the three juniors of the Lu family looked at each other, all in disbelief.

If it was in the past, with the temper of the head of the family, I found that they were laughing and playing during the night training, but I was afraid that the family law would be revealed on the spot and the dogs they scolded would be bloody.

Why is it so wrong tonight?

"God favors, let's hurry up."

One of them muttered quietly, pulled his two companions by his side, and quickly left the uninvited place.

On the side, Lu Ci walked unhurriedly, and after half a quarter of an hour, he saw the ancestral ancestral hall located in the moonlight.

Lu Ci stood outside the stairs at the door for a long time, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and then he took a step to enter it.

It's just that when he was about to push open the door of the ancestral hall, on the avenue on one side, a panicked family member suddenly rushed out.

"Master, the old lady of the Lu family suddenly came to visit, and she has been muttering that she wants to see you, but she can't stop it, the little one is here to report to you quickly!"

The junior of the Lu family was covered with beads of sweat on his forehead, and as soon as the words fell, there was a sensation at the main gate of the Lu family in the distance, and there was dust and smoke rolling up the sky.

Lu Ci was stunned for a moment, withdrew his palm placed on the door of the ancestral hall, turned to the family and confirmed: "Is it really the old lady of the Lu family?" ”

Jia Ding said respectfully: "It is indeed the old lady of the Lu family - Lu Jin is undoubted." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ci frowned, and there was doubt in his eyes, but he still took a step and walked down the stairs.

"This old man, what are you looking for me to do at this time."

Before leaving, Lu Ci took one last look at the gate of the ancestral hall, then shook his head and kept up with the pace of the family.

……

The other side.

In the ancestral hall, outside the basement.

In the shadow of a corridor, as a touch of gloomy air conditioner dissipated, three figures appeared, and it was Zhang Chulan and the three of them who were full of vigilance.

Ma Xianhong looked at the scene transmitted by the flying insects in the magic glasses, and said with a sigh of relief: "Lu Ci has already gone away, and he was broken up by Old Lady Lu. ”

Zhang Chulan said: "It's really a hell, could it be that this old Deng found out what we were doing, it's impossible." ”

Lu Liang's eyes trembled, and then he took a straight step and walked towards the intersection of the basement: "No matter what the reason is, we have to hurry up." ”

The three of them returned to the basement again, and the grave bag that came into view, in just a few moments, had been dug up for most of it, and it was close to the level of the ground around it, but there was no coffin, and they wanted to hide it at the bottom.

Lu Liang didn't say a word, he was wrapped in Qi Tuan in his hand, his hand moved half a minute faster, and with the help of two companions around him, after only a dozen breaths, he dug into the ground, and stopped when he noticed a hard object with a different texture from the earth.

"It's not like a coffin, it's an urn?"

Lu Liang used his hands to directly gouge out the small box.

It is a rosewood box the size of an urn, with a smooth surface and no carved lines.

"With such precious wood, to create such an ugly spirit box, it is really speechless." Zhang Chulan looked at the boxy wooden box and couldn't help but complain.

"Is it really a spirit box? Let's open it and take a look. Ma Xianhong suggested.

Lu Liang nodded, found the copper buckle of the lid, opened it with a click, and then breathed a little heavily, and slowly opened it.

Until the space in the box is completely exposed to everyone's sight.

Then a black-and-white photo appeared in their eyes.

It was a handsome young woman with a smile on her face.

"What is this?"

Lu Liang's eyes widened, and in the memory that he had obtained in the mind of his second uncle, a paragraph suddenly appeared, and there was a picture of the woman in this photo!

……

The Lu family's living room.

"I don't know what happened to Brother Lu, you suddenly came here tonight?"

Lu Ci boiled the tea with his own hands and asked with a smile to the old man in a suit in front of him.

Lu Jin always had a faint smile on his face, unhurried: "Cough, it's not a big deal to say, it's just that there are some unresolved doubts in my heart, and I still can't figure it out." ”

"It just so happens that I have passed by Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huajin in the past few days, and I am thinking of coming to visit Lao Lu's house on a whim tonight, if there is any abruptness, please forgive me."

Lu Ci skillfully sent the tea into the honeysuckle suzhen, pushed it in front of Lu Jin, and said with a smile: "There are still questions that Brother Lu can't understand, so it's better to tell me about it." ”

Lu Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, let me have a sip of tea first." ”

As he spoke, he pinched the silver teacup with both hands, looked at the delicate patterns carved on the cup, and carefully studied it for a while, then brought the teacup close to his mouth, took a sip of the hot tea, tasted it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he praised it: "Good tea, this is good tea, Lao Lu's good craftsmanship." ”

Lu Ci smiled and humbly said: "As far as my tea making skills are concerned, I dare not call it a good tea, if I want to say the best, it has to be the Biluochun that Brother Lu gave you the year before last, this tea is good enough." ”

Lu Jin said: "It turns out that this tea was sent by my Lu family?" Tsk, it's still here for you, it's good to soak. ”

Lu Ci's eyes flashed, and he was still humble, but his doubts were even stronger in his heart, and he always felt that the old lady of the Lu family suddenly came to visit tonight, revealing a little strange.

Not only is the timing strange, but the attitude that suddenly became enthusiastic is also a little strange, obviously anxious, but it is even more strange to pull up the tea art - even more strange!

But even so, Lu Ci was still patient and continued to consume with Lu Jin, wanting to see what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd?

……

The other side.

The ancestral hall of the Lu family.

With a yin wind blowing and leaving here, Lu Shao in the partial house also woke up after a while, and when he woke up, he only felt a headache, and he always felt that he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it.

"Alas, I'm too old to be useful."

He pondered for a long time before he remembered what he had forgotten, it turned out that he was reading a book on the table, and he dozed off because he was too sleepy, and accidentally slipped on the ground.

Meanwhile.

On the south side of Lujia Village, somewhere in the corner of the woods.

As the gloomy and cold breath dissipated, the figures of the three of them were revealed, and they also contacted them as soon as possible, and dragged Wang Ye, who was still in the Lu family's big array, to let him evacuate as soon as possible.

"I said Lu Liang, can you really determine the identity of the woman in the photo, is it really Duanmu Ying, one of the thirty-six righteousness?" Zhang Chulan confirmed again.

Lu Liang nodded, looked at the black and white photo in his hand, and said with a complicated gaze: "In the memory of my second uncle, Lu Shao, there was a fragment of this woman, the other party is the eldest lady of the medical family Jishitang, and she is also a strange person, named Duanmu Ying, that is, the one who later realized the Eight Wonder Skills. ”

"And she's got the magic — that's the full hand I have at the moment."

"So that's the case, it turns out that my Lu family's so-called Ming Soul Technique is just a secret dug up from others, and it was stolen, hehe."

Ma Xianhong didn't speak immediately, but a subtle anger flashed in his eyes, and he spoke after a while: "That nameless tomb belongs to Duanmu Ying, and I think the one who was detained in the Lu family's basement is also Duanmu Ying." ”

"I want to know more now, what means did your Lu family use back then to make that Duan Mu Ying's hands pass down the bloodline to you."
