Chapter 82: Re-enter the City Lord's Mansion!
Chapter 82
"How comfortable is it to hold a dead body?"
Luo Chen's face was stunned, and when he looked at it again, the whole person was directly stunned in place, and was pushed by Li Ruotong before, Zuo Linglong's whole person fell to the ground, twitching mechanically.
His pale face was whiter than the snow on the ground, and there was no blood to speak of.
"Save me, save ...... Help me, please ......"
"Maybe there is still salvation?"
Luo Chen squatted down and buckled on Zuo Linglong's wrist, and there was no pulsation.
"The blood in this girl's body has been crumbled, and it looks like she has been dead for a while. ”
Li Ruotong opened his mouth like this, and the long sword slashed through Zuo Linglong's wrist, printing red traces, but only no blood flowed out.
On the side, Steward Wei continued to sweep the snow in the courtyard, as if he had already seen it, and it seemed that the previous sentence "throw it out" should also be meant.
Luo Chen's face changed again and again, but at this moment, a group of people trotted in outside the Zhong Mansion, led by the chief steward of the Zuo family.
"Found Miss. ”
A group of people were in a hurry, and at this time, Zuo Linglong was still asking for help, Luo Chen frowned, sighed lightly in his heart, stepped forward and said, "Miss Zuo, what's going on?"
The chief steward of the Zuo family showed an impatient look, glanced at Luo Chen, and then showed a fierce look: "Control your mouth and eyes, otherwise, you will be next!"
As soon as these words came out, Luo Chen's body tensed together in an instant, these words were secretly transmitted by the left steward, and only Luo Chen could hear it.
"I've been threatened. ”
Looking at the Zuo family's chief steward who was gradually disappearing in realization, Luo Chen's constricted pupils gradually dilated, but a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Sure enough, there is a problem!"
He is not stupid, Zuo Linglong suddenly ran to the Zhong Mansion, saying for help, but it was lifeless, this is definitely not an accident, it is obviously a warning!
"What's wrong with you?"
As if he had discovered the abnormality on Luo Chen's side, Li Ruotong stepped forward and spoke.
"It's okay, Sister Ruotong, Sister Zhong Li's face is a little unpleasant, why don't you help Sister Zhong Li go down to rest first?"
"It's fine. ”
Li Ruotong nodded, and helped Zhong Li, who was pale, back to the room.
"Steward Wei, I'll go out for a walk. ”
"Be careful. ”
Steward Wei, who was clearing the snow, nodded, but did not stop it.
After stepping out of the Zhong Mansion, Luo Chen took a turn outside the family, but what he saw was a different scene.
Outside the White Mansion, there were people cleaning the snow outside, Luo Chen stepped forward quickly, pretending to ask for directions, the people in the White Mansion showed impatience, Luo Chen stuffed a valuable jade plate ring, and the people were happy, looked around, and put it away directly.
"Hurry up and ask if you have something, in case people see it, I'm annoying. ”
Luo Chen smiled and nodded, pretending not to know: "Baifu is so lively today, is there any happy event?"
"You say this, tomorrow will be Bai Laoyezi's eightieth birthday, and now the whole house is busy with this, and the big housekeeper has been scolding the old man for a long time, and it is strange to say, so many guards don't come to help, but let me be a kitchen steward to come here to do this coolie! I don't know what I think. ”
Speaking of this, the man complained vigorously and scolded.
Luo Chen's heart moved, and he tried again: "Is it? That's a little too much, let the cook run outside the house to clear the snow, then who will cook?"
Luo Chen smiled casually, but as soon as he said this, the person turned slightly pale, and whispered: "Eat? Baifu has been weird recently, what kind of food are you eating, one by one, as if you have fallen into an evil spirit." ”
However, just as Luo Chen continued to ask questions, he saw a young man walking out of the Bai Mansion and showing a strange smile at him.
There was an inexplicable chill in his heart, and the person was startled, no longer paying attention to Luo Chen, but quickly swept away the snow.
The young man, dressed in a gray robe, held a small wooden teapot, which was still steaming, and took a few sips from time to time.
"It's cold outside, since Luo Gongzi likes to inquire about my Bai family so much, why don't you come in and sit down?"
Luo Chen was vigilant, smiled, and turned away directly, he was not stupid enough to enter the White Mansion, if the strength was enough, he didn't mind going in to have a look, but he also knew that with his current cultivation, once he entered, the chance of coming up again was almost zero.
The people of the Bai Mansion said before that everyone in the Bai family was evil, but how to be evil, although he didn't know, when he thought of Zuo Linglong not long ago, he couldn't help but shudder.
After walking outside for a while, Luo Chen returned to Zhongfu.
In the afternoon, someone from the City Lord's Mansion came, saying that he was inviting the top ten people on the list to enter the Fighting Soul Pavilion, and Steward Wei frowned, although he sent the people away, he also informed Luo Chen and the two of them about it.
In the room, Li Ruotong frowned and shook his head at Luo Chen and Zhong Li: "At this time, I don't recommend you to enter the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Zhong Li looked at Luo Chen, as if asking what he meant, Zhong Li thought about how Luo Chen couldn't see that Zhong Xian'er had disappeared and her whereabouts were unknown, in fact, she really wanted to enter the City Lord's Mansion again.
"Now that the Evil Soul Master is in control of the City Lord's Mansion, if you really want us to die, I think even if you hide in the Zhong Mansion, it won't help, as for the Fighting Soul Pavilion, I'm very interested in going and seeing it. ”
Although he said so, he didn't know what he thought in his heart.
Li Ruotong frowned, what Luo Chen said was the truth, but it was definitely not wise to go rashly.
"I'll go see it in the evening, but Zhong Li doesn't have to go with him. ”
"No way!"
Zhong Li objected, but Li Ruotong on the side nodded: "It's okay, but be cautious, just go directly to the Fighting Soul Pavilion when the time comes, don't trespass, maybe the City Lord's Mansion is not as bad as we imagined." ”
In the evening, the City Lord's Mansion came again, Luo Chen went alone, and Zhong Li stayed in the Zhong Mansion.
Inside the carriage, Luo Chen lifted the curtain of the carriage, it was dark outside, and his heart felt depressed inexplicably.
The carriage traveled unhindered all the way and went directly into the outer house, but when the carriage entered the outer house, it did not enter the inner house, but went to the Moon Pavilion.
The carriage was driven by a thin old man, very old, about ninety years old, with a large pipe in one hand, and when the carriage came to Mochizuki Pavilion, he sat down on the stone platform in front of the attic, and smoked.
Luo Chen followed and got out of the carriage, looked at the dark and gloomy environment around him, and couldn't help but say, "Old man, why don't you go directly to the inner mansion?"
"You're in such a hurry to die, little doll, you shouldn't have come with the old man. ”
After two more puffs, the old man turned the pipe in his hand upside down, knocked out the unburned tobacco in the cigarette pouch, and a touch of gloom flashed in a pair of cloudy old eyes.
Mochizuki Pavilion, this three-story old pavilion, although it has been abandoned for so many years, but the pavilion is still dusty, the old man held a rag, wiped along the stone platform for nearly an hour, and then got up and got into the carriage.
"Little baby, if you want to live, after entering the inner mansion for a while, ask less, talk less, and look less. ”
"Thank you for the reminder. ”
Luo Chen got into the carriage, but the old man never left, as if waiting for something.
Luo Chen was puzzled, and through the curtain of the carriage, he saw the blue brick and stone wall again.
"What are you waiting for?"
Luo Chen couldn't help but be curious.
"Wait for the road, ask less.
The old man opened his mouth and reminded him again, Luo Chen shut up and stopped talking.
Time had passed about a minute or two of incense, and just as Luo Chen yawned, suddenly, he was surprised to find that the blue brick and stone wall that had blocked him before was fading at a speed of the naked eye.
Hazy moon, the old man shouted, the carriage rushed towards the blue brick wall that had not yet faded, at this moment, Luo Chen's pupils were constantly dilating, crashing, about to crash!
However, to Luo Chen's surprise, the imaginary collision with the wall did not appear, but passed through it directly, and at the moment when the carriage passed through the blue brick and stone wall, the original diluted wall solidified again.
Inside the carriage, Luo Chen poked his head out and looked back, the expression on his face frozen.
"See Less. ”
The old man's voice rang out from the front of the carriage.
Luo Chen opened his mouth, and then heard the old man say again: "Don't talk about it." ”
The words were stuck in my throat, I couldn't spit out and couldn't swallow, and I was very uncomfortable.
Luo Chen sat up straight in the carriage, closed his eyes and stopped thinking, after half a stick of incense, the sound of ping-pong metal knocking sounded outside the carriage, Luo Chen was curious, but when he thought of the old man's advice, he forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart.
The carriage did not go directly to the Fighting Spirit Pavilion, but stopped outside the main hall hall.
"Commander Shang, the people have arrived. ”
The old man spoke, and Luo Chen got out of the carriage with a tense body, and the merchant commander raised his eyebrows, flashing a trace of surprise.
"Hey, boy, have we seen each other somewhere?"
Luo Chen scolded in his heart, he was almost sent to the water prison to death last time he got lost.
Mader, bad luck.
"Why is there only one, isn't there another?"
Commander Shang frowned and looked at the old man.
"Only one came. ”
The old man's expression was wooden, and the merchant commander scolded a few words, and then let the old man go.
"This old thing. ”
After a few more curses, Commander Shang pointed to Luo Chen and waited here, and then entered the main hall alone, and when he came out again, he was followed by a group of people.
Eight young men in gray robes, and behind these young men, Luo Chen also saw a large group of figures, among these figures, he saw Wei Hao, Zuo Tao, Mo Cheng, and Zuo Linglong, etc., all of whom were Li Cheng geniuses who had participated in the banquet last time!
The corners of Luo Chen's eyes twitched, and all these people who should have died appeared in front of him, as if they were cheating corpses.
"Luo Chen. ”
Zuo Linglong smiled and opened her mouth, waving at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen's body was stiff, and the girl was lively and cheerful, smiling at herself.
"Shame on you!"
Wei Hao snorted coldly, turned around and tied with Zuo Tao.
"Okay, it's all one of ten, and then we have to join forces to participate in the hundred decisive battles, Luo Chen. ”
Zheng Tao shook his head at Wei Hao, and nodded kindly at Luo Chen.
As for Mo Cheng, his expression was a little wooden, his head was lowered, and he kept muttering: "I lost." ”
