Chapter 26: Monsters

The moonlight was dim, and it was pitch black all around, and everyone was hunched over, tiptoeing under the eaves, and the shadows were slender.

"Master, I don't think something is right. Lin Yi spoke in a low voice, suspicious: "It seems that there is ...... here." Too quiet?"

Everyone was stunned, stopped, and thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case. As they walked all the way, the house was darkened, and they didn't hear any sound, not even a single figure.

It seems that there are only six of them in a huge mansion.

"Master, is it haunted again?" Zhang Yingzhuo cried, a chill welled up in his body, and he involuntarily hugged his arms.

"Daddy?" Luo Caiwei also stared at Luo Shan strangely, in the dark, only a pair of eyes were reflecting the moonlight.

Luo Shan straightened his back, looked around, and was silent. After a pause, he waved his hand, led his disciples, and hurried to the main house in the east wing, without encountering any obstacles on the way.

Everyone was led by Xianglan and came to the front of the main house, where there was still no sound and the atmosphere was weird. Luo Shan walked up the steps, holding a knife in one hand and pushing the door in the other.

Only a creaking sound was heard, and the door was only a cover-up, and it opened with a push......

Luo Shan stepped in, and everyone followed. Zhang Yingzhuo was so frightened that he shivered, he looked back behind him, at this time the night was thick, everything was silent, and there was a faint hair in his heart, so he hurriedly turned around and followed.

As soon as Lin Yi entered the house, it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see his five fingers, so he heard Luoshan speak: "There is no one in the house." โ€

After speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and with a hula sound, a warm wind swirled in the room, and the oil lamp at the bedside spontaneously ignited without fire, illuminating half of the room.

Only then did everyone use the light to see the surrounding scenery clearly, the counters in the house were complete, the tables and chairs were complete, and the center was separated by a colored carved screen. In the innermost, there is a pearwood shelf bed against the wall, and the futon on it is turned over, and there is no one.

"Master, how did you ignite the oil core out of thin air?" the disciples exclaimed.

"It's just a little trick to carve insects. Luo Shan said casually and pointed to the ground, "Look at your feet." โ€

Lin Yi hurriedly lowered his head and saw a crimson mark on the floor, about two feet wide. Starting from before the collapse, all the way around the screen, extending out of the door, and disappearing into the vast night.

Luo Caiwei squatted down curiously to check, rubbed it with her fingertips, put it in front of her nose and sniffed, frowned: "There is a fishy smell, it seems to be blood?"

"Hmm......" Lin Yi thought, "Doesn't it look like something killed someone in this chamber, and then dragged the body out, leaving a trail of blood?"

"Senior Brother Lin. Zhang Yingzhuo's face was as pale as paper, he barely squeezed out a smile, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you joking?"

"Lord Lingguan, will the master mother be fine, right?" Xianglan's legs were weak, she shook and fell, hugging Luoshan's thighs and crying.

"It's hard to say. Luo Shan replied truthfully. Han Chunfang came over to help Xianglan, Luo Shan took off the bedside oil lamp, walked out of the wing, the disciples followed, and Zhang Yingzhuo fell to the end.

Everyone arrived outside the door, holding the lamp and probing, walking slowly, the more they looked, the more shocked they became, Luo Caiwei panicked and shouted: "Daddy, how can there be anywhere!"

Along the way, there were dozens of blood stains everywhere in the courtyard, between the corridors, on the walls, and under the beams and columns, all of which converged to the depths of the Xu Mansion.

Seeing this scene, Xianglan's eyes widened, she was shocked, screaming "master", she didn't mention it in one breath, and fainted.

"Look at the degree of blood coagulation, the tragedy should have happened half a day ago, it is estimated that as soon as this maid went out, the Xu Mansion was slaughtered by hungry ghosts. Luo Shan's expression was solemn, and he clenched the cane knife. "This hungry ghost has killed dozens of people, I'm afraid it has grown to a certain level, if you don't hold it, the entire Yongzhou City will turn into purgatory!"

Lin Yi hurriedly said, "Master, what should we do?"

"Take out the magic weapon, follow me, and chase after the blood!" Luo Shan shouted. Just as he was about to set off, there was a sound of knocking on the door outside Xu's mansion, and a sharp voice shouted: "Listen inside, the defenders are doing things, and those who obstruct will be killed!"

Left right or wrong!

Lin Yi exclaimed in his heart, this commander of the city guard, when is it not good, but it will appear at this time.

With a loud bang, the gate was slammed open, and a group of soldiers rushed into the Xu Mansion with torches and blades. Zuo Shifei led the troops to break in, looked at the blood stains all over the ground, and was shocked, and when he saw Luoshan, he changed color and shouted: "Good Luoshan, you pretend to be a master of the world during the day, deceive the good people, and at night turn into a murderer, take your disciples, and rob the house." Someoneโ€”take him down for me!"

A group of soldiers rushed up to take Luoshan, and Lin Yi and the others immediately took out their weapons and blocked in front of him.

"Commander Zuo, you misunderstood. Luo Shan pushed away the disciples, asked them to put away their weapons, and walked over to explain, "The Xu Mansion is haunted tonight, and it was his maid who entrusted me to subdue the demon." โ€

"Bah!" Zuo Shifei said angrily, "What about the ghost who is messing with your mother, fooling the children?, and when did you enter the city, why didn't I receive the report?" He looked back at the guards and asked, "Did any of you see Luoshan enter the city?"

The soldiers exchanged heads, asked each other for a while, shook their heads, and said, "Tell the commander, no one has seen Luo Lingguan enter the city in the past few days!"

Zuo Shifei glared at Luo Shan, and said angrily: "Dare to sneak into the city and harm people under my nose, you are really bold! You were arrested by me tonight, what excuse do you have to quibble?"

Luo Shan said impatiently: "Commander Zuo, the maid of the Xu Mansion has just fainted, you will know later that we are going to hunt ghosts, if Your Excellency has to stop and let the hungry ghost escape, there will be no peace in this Yongzhou City in the future!"

Hearing this, the soldiers looked to the ground, only to find that there was another girl fainting next to her, and they didn't know whether she was alive or dead, so they rushed over and carried her back to the team.

Zuo Shifei took a breath and said luckily: "God has long eyes, fortunately, we came in time! This last hostage was not killed by you, and now that the human and material evidence is there, you can't escape!"

Looking at the soldiers who swarmed up from all around, Luo Shan's face suddenly turned cold, his hand put on the hilt of his sword, and said in a cold voice: "Commander Zuo, don't force me-"

Zuo Shifei was taken by the momentum, and he took half a step back, and then remembered that he was surrounded by his subordinates, and Luo Shan was only with four hairy children, and he stood firm, raised his eyebrows, and sneered: "Why, when the disaster is coming, you still have to resist arrest?"

Luo Shan swept his eyes away, not angry and arrogant, opened his mouth and spit out turbid air, and it took a long time to restrain his killing intent, and said patiently: "If you have something to say, when the maid wakes up, you will understand everything after a little interrogation." โ€

"Okay, wait for the hostages to speak, I see how you still quibble. Zuo Shifei snorted and waved his hand: "Come on, go in and search, see if they have any accomplices, and the rest of the people, put them in prison!"

"Yes!" the defenders received the order, divided a dozen people, rushed into the mansion to search, and the remaining more than thirty people surrounded Luoshan and them.

"There's no one in this house. โ€

"There's no one in this house. โ€

Soldiers reported one after another.

......

Lin Yi looked at the dozen or so defenders who rummaged through each other, but found nothing, and finally ran to the backyard along the bloodstains, feeling a bad omen in his heart.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the soldiers to shout in the backyard: "Commander Zuo, the body has been found!"

Zuo Shifei responded sharply: "Brothers have worked hard, take care of the corpse, and let the servants come to examine the injuries later." But the soldiers over there shouted in a trembling voice: "Left, left, commander...... You, you'd better come and see, something is wrong. โ€

Zuo Shifei frowned, looked back at his subordinates, ordered a few good followers to follow him, and hurried over. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped and told them to take the maid with him, and then walked to the backyard.

When Luo Shan saw him take away the maid, he knew that the other party saw that something was wrong, and he thought of a thief. Tonight, there was a large-scale bloody case in Xu's mansion, if you wait for the maid to wake up and say that she didn't do it, and because you stopped him and let the hungry ghost escape, the court blamed it, and a military robe will definitely not be guaranteed, and you will even have to be sentenced to prison. And take away the maid, you can force her to change her confession at any time, and at that time, throw all the charges on his head, he can be safe and sound, maybe he will be arrested and returned, and he can be added to the official rank.

This guy is so vicious!

Luo Shan said angrily in his heart, looked at the defenders around him, and calculated the way to break through, but it was a pity that he brought four disciples, otherwise he was alone, with his martial arts, who could stop him?

But after a few moments, a loud bang came from the backyard: "Boom!"

Everyone here looked at each other, and the defenders didn't know why, and they were in shock, but the sound over there did not stop. The roar was like the waves of the sea, one after another, like countless thunderbolts, rolling overhead, shaking the surrounding window lattices and buzzing the eardrums in the ears.

The defenders didn't care about Luoshan at this time, and they rushed to the backyard, and saw from a distance that the entire wall was swaying from side to side due to the impact of the strange force, and the tiles flew sideways, and the sand and rocks were moving, as if they were going to be shattered in the next moment. The dust and fog stirred up were several feet high, completely enveloping the backyard.

"Help, there's a monster!" the soldiers inside the wall let out a terrible scream.

The crowd quickened their pace, but before they could arrive, a soldier flew out of the backyard, and the whole figure was hit by a huge force and soared into the air. After flying more than ten feet, he fell heavily to the ground, bounced up, fell again, and went back and forth several times before rolling in front of them.

Everyone held their breath and saw that the soldier had already had twisted bones, was unrecognizable, and had no complete shape. The abdomen was more like being hit by some blunt object, pierced and shattered, half missing, and the stomach and intestines flowed out of it, and the ribs were exposed, and the flesh was dripping with blood.

"It's so miserable, what is this?" the soldiers panicked, and even worse, they were so frightened that they were incontinent and wet their pants.

One soldier pointed his finger into the air, gasped, and said, "What is that?"

Lin Yi followed the rest of the people to raise their heads, and suddenly saw that in the dust and mist, there was a pair of huge eyes, emitting a red light, like a lantern, hanging high in the air.

The blood-red eyes turned coldly, staring at them, and the defenders were so shocked that their souls were scattered, clanging, and their blades fell to the ground.

The soldiers were timid, and they didn't know who would take the lead, so they shouted "Run for your life", and turned and fled one after another, panicking. Even a few disciples were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they all looked at Luoshan, as if they were just waiting for him to say a word of withdrawal, turn their heads and run!

Zhang Yingzhuo said in a trembling voice: "Master, what kind of hungry ghost is this, it's just a small mountain, and it's too big......

"Now it's a big ghost, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. Luo Shan's tone was solemn.

Lin Yi noticed that Luo Shan's fingers were trembling slightly. At this time, Zuo Shifei stumbled out of the backyard under the protection of his personal guards, his eyes were full of horror, as if his soul was scared out of the sky.

Zuo Shifei was like a lost dog, rushed over and pounced at the foot of Luoshan, kowtowed again and again, and cried with tears in his eyes: "There are really monsters inside, save me, Luo Lingguan, Lord Luo!"
