Chapter 54: Like a Great Enemy
The entire lifeless Hou Shan Ben was slightly eased by Lu Chengfeng's arrival, but Song Qingshan's next words made the originally relaxed atmosphere even more solemn.
This matter has been spread in Shushan in recent days, and this Song Qingshan also learned about it by chance from a senior brother.
It is reported that the town of Liutai under the mountain has recently suddenly begun to be restless for some reason, and people are panicking. Many people died in the town for no reason, and they were all ordinary people who were powerless, and the most dead were Liujia Village. The most gruesome thing is that those people died in the middle of the night, and the cause of death is unknown. In desperation, someone came to Shushan for help, and the elders of Shushan have sent many disciples down the mountain to investigate, a total of five batches, but no one has come back so far.
As for what happened, Song Qingshan didn't know, but the most widely circulated one was that someone in the Ghost Hall was making trouble here.
The Powerful Ghost Hall is the leading evil sect in the Demon Sect, and it has existed for many years but has been the enemy of Shushan, and its hall master ghost has been lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move. The people in its sect are all involved in all kinds of ghostly arts, and for many years they have wantonly killed the living in the cult in order to improve their cultivation. The Shushan faction, as the righteous path of the world, intends to eradicate it, but it has never encountered its positive forces, and it has been unsuccessful many times. Since it was greatly damaged 20 years ago, it has disappeared without a trace, and now I am afraid that it will hold a grudge and make a comeback.
Of course, what the truth is, it may not be known until the Shushan disciples who came down the mountain to investigate come back. But these dozens of people went to Liutai Town in five batches, but none of them returned at this moment, I am afraid that they have already been more than lucky.
Hearing that something had happened in Liujia Village, Lu Chengfeng couldn't sit still at that time, so he said that he would go immediately.
However, Song Qingshan on the side hurriedly held it down and shouted, "The head of Shushan personally ordered that before the facts are clarified, all Shushan disciples are not allowed to go down the mountain privately, and if there is a violation, they will be expelled from Shushan immediately according to the door rules! I know you are anxious, but the facts are not clear at the moment, you better wait for the news first!"
This matter even shocked the head of the Ci Jian family, I am afraid it will not be a trivial matter, Lu Chengfeng faintly remembered the expressions on the faces of the elders before, and they were all extremely dignified. At that time, it was only said that they deliberately pretended to be like this, but they didn't expect that something really happened. But when Lu Chengfeng went to see Lu Ping'an a few months ago, it was still peaceful, but now it has suddenly changed, how can it not make him restless?
Even so, what can be done at the moment is probably nothing but waiting.
But this kind of waiting was even more uncomfortable than suffering, and on the second day of his tossing and turning, Song Qingshan hurriedly came back and said with a solemn face, "According to a disciple who came back last night, there are powerful ghosts in Liujia Village, and none of the disciples sent before have survived except him. When this man returned, he was covered in blood and unkempt, and now the elders are still unconscious despite their best efforts to save him!"
Since the period of Shushan's sword discussion is imminent, this news cannot be publicized, for fear of confusing the minds of those who cultivate. But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and the news is still spreading among the disciples of Shushan, and Song Qingshan only learned about it after some inquiry.
Through the expression on his face and the tone of voice when he spoke, Lu Chengfeng could already feel the seriousness of the matter. At that moment, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he rushed out of the house and left the back mountain, followed by Song Qingshan.
In the main hall, in addition to a few elders, there were many Earth Xuan rank disciples who had already crowded the main hall, and all the disciples said that they would go to Liutai Town to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
When Lu Chengfeng rushed over with great interest, he bowed down and said, "The disciple grew up in Liujia Village since he was a child, and he is also very familiar with Liutai Town, and I hope that the head of the sect will approve the disciple to go down the mountain and go to support!"
"You're going to help? It's a joke, it's not necessarily useful for many Xuan-level or even Earth-level disciples to go, why should you go with just a yellow-level disciple?"
It was a Xuan-rank disciple sitting down by Elder Cangyun who spoke, and looking at the disdain on his face, he thought that he felt very ridiculous about the behavior of the kid in front of him.
At present, the atmosphere above the main hall is solemn, and although these words are mocking, they are ironclad facts.
In the last two times when people were sent to investigate, there were also two earth-level disciples, but only one of them returned from injury, and now life and death are uncertain, if you send yellow-level disciples to go, I am afraid it will be with death, I believe that no one will allow the disciples to make senseless sacrifices, let alone the elders of Shushan.
"In that case, then let me sit down and go to the eldest disciple Di Qianjun!" It was Elder Yu Wei, who was usually taciturn, who spoke.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the main hall couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and the eldest disciple who sat down was the number one figure in the Shushan faction, which was one of the few masters in the entire door. Elder Yu Wei can let the beloved disciples who are currently cultivating to fight, and I am afraid that this matter should not be underestimated.
"Senior Brother Yuwei doesn't have to be like this, I thought that this little ghost hall was just a bluff, where is my turn to send such a master to Shushan!"
But hearing this, Elder Ziyang shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Jingyu's words are wrong, it is still unknown whether the other party is the Powerful Ghost Hall, Liujiacun has countless casualties at the moment, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid it will cause more unnecessary casualties! I thought that this matter should be resolved quickly, and it is really not appropriate to delay it any longer!"
The analysis of his remarks was reasonable, and the other elders were not able to argue anymore, and they all turned their eyes to the head of Ci Jian, as if waiting for his final decision.
After hesitating for a while, the head of Cijian nodded and said, "What Senior Brother Ziyang said is very true! Right now, everyone in Liutai Town is in danger, and we should immediately send the door to solve this matter!
The four people who were called down stood up at this time, Lu Chengfeng and Ye Ziqing knew each other, although they had never spoken, but at least they had met twice, and they didn't look too strange. If it weren't for the fact that he was in Shushan at the moment, he would think that this person was an authentic man when he walked on the street.
And when the last woman named Jiang Wuhan appeared, everyone looked sideways, stunned, and exclaimed again and again, forgetting that she was born in the solemn Shushan Hall at this moment.
It's not surprising to think about it, this woman is dressed in purple, carrying a golden sword, her face is delicate, her eyes and teeth are as cold as snow, although she is not far away, but this woman's cold face seems to be a little cold, and she wants to reject people thousands of miles away.
Seeing that this woman was dressed and dressed under the Ziyang Elder seat, there was no doubt about the Heavenly Rank disciple.
This Heavenly Rank disciple has always been easy to understand, and she has always been the object of pursuit by the disciples in the sect, but now she has seen her beauty with her own eyes, not to mention her extreme cultivation, which can make people retreat.
Although everyone knew that there was a lot of danger in this place, they didn't expect that the head of the sect would send a Heaven Rank disciple to go, but after thinking about it, they were relieved, only the existence of such a master could achieve twice the result with half the effort, and the current situation was critical, and the head of the sect was undoubtedly wise to make this move.
"No Cold...... As a Tianjie disciple of the Shushan Sect, when you go to Liutai Town this time, you must raise the power of my righteous path and save the common people from fire and water!"
Hearing Elder Ziyang's words, Jiang Wuhan nodded coldly and said, "Master, please rest assured, Wuhan will not fail in his mission!"
"That's good...... The four of you will immediately go to Liujia Village to solve this matter, and if there is any situation, you must go up the mountain to inform the situation! Remember, you still need to be careful!"
After the head of Cijian finished admonishing, the four of them went away with their swords one after another.
Speaking of Liutai Town, it is naturally Lu Chengfeng who is the most familiar with him, and I think this is also an extremely important reason why the head of Cijian agreed to his coming.
At this time, it was still early, and Lu Chengfeng led the other three to Liujia Village.
As soon as I stepped into the village, the sound of crying was endless, and when I entered the village, I found that everyone was dressed in plain clothes, dressed in linen and filial piety. A piece of white flowers under the feet is full of paper money sprinkled along the way, a few people just about to walk over to inquire about the situation, but saw a group of people carrying a coffin majesticly walked by, behind everyone with a dead face, like a mourner, thinking that it was a person who went to the funeral. Along the way, it was almost full of eyes, and everywhere I went, there was a lot of sadness.
At this moment, an old man trembled, like a nobleman, fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted loudly, "The immortals of Wangshu Mountain are merciful, and they must save the lives of the people of my Liujia Village!"
Everyone hurriedly got up to help each other, and Lu Chengfeng recognized this person at a glance as Liu Dahai, the head of Liujia Village, only to see that his face was withered, his eyes were red, and his face was haggard.
Worried about the safety of the second uncle's family, Lu Chengfeng excused himself by saying that he wanted to look elsewhere, and after the other people agreed, he walked in the direction of his house.
Pushing open the door of the second uncle's house, Lu Ping'an was overjoyed when he saw his brother coming, and immediately stood up to greet him, but after seeing his outfit, his face was shocked at first, and then he showed a look of relief and said, "You finally ...... I have become an official disciple of Shushan!"
Hearing the four words of Shushan disciple, Zhang Xiuying and Lu Jiancheng turned their heads at the same time, and focused their eyes on him with a shocked face, and after a long time, they finally remembered under Lu Ping'an's reminder, and nodded again and again, "Becoming a disciple of Shushan at such a young age is really young and promising!"
When the second elder asked curiously why Lu Ping'an got acquainted with the Shushan cultivator, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but be overjoyed and almost told the true situation. Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng kicked him in time, and then deliberately diverted the topic and explained his intention, just wanting to know what had happened in Liujia Village in recent days.
