Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 269: Maid
In the fog.
A foot-long wind knife passed by, and a humanoid fog ghost with a wolf head and a hunchback on the rocks had its left arm chopped off.
The arm has not yet touched the ground.
Lu Tong's fingers burst out one after another, and then he raised his wrist, and five wind knives of one foot, three feet, half a foot, etc. of different lengths were slashed out one after another.
The knife technique of Zhui Dian Dao Men is extremely fast. When swinging the knife, he moves his fingers first, then turns his wrist, and finally swings his arm.
The wind knife is lighter and faster;
No need to put away the knife, just go one minute faster.
In an instant, the fog ghost's head, chest, abdomen, left leg, etc. were pierced at the same time, and a large cloud of black smoke rose up.
He walked to the black smoke.
While gathering the ghost blood, he frowned and said, "Something's wrong. I've only had a cup of tea and already met the third one, and they all died in one go."
This time out of the city, there are more fog ghosts and they are weaker.
Yue Shenyu took the wind monkey and fell aside.
"It seems that as my senior brother said, the future of Aoshan City is not good, and new fog ghosts are coming."
Lu Tong accepted the ghost blood.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Zu Wu’s expression changed slightly and he asked, “Chief Immortal, have there been more fog ghosts?”
He nodded.
"That Aoshan City...hey."
Zu Wu asked halfway, then sighed and said no more.
Aoshan City no longer matters, the most important thing right now is to save your life.
Zu Wanping died, Sun Hao died, and Zu Wu didn’t want to be the third one.
The group killed four more fog ghosts and set off back to the city.
On the road.
Zu Wu lowered his eyes and looked cold, as if he were attending a funeral.
Lu Tong glanced at it and asked, "Who do you think it is?"
"Immortal?"
He chuckled and said: "Don't act stupid, otherwise you will be the next one."
Zu Wu was in charge, but his surname was Zu.
Anyone who can bear the surname of the master is a close confidant of the family.
The Zu family was killed, and outsiders may not know it. Zu Wu should have some guesses.
Zu Wu's expression changed a few times, he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Qin said that killing people is to sacrifice evil magic weapons."
"What do you think?"
Zu Wu remained silent.
Lu Tong continued: "I guess the murderer is from the ancestors' family, right?"
Zu Wu did not respond.
He added:
"You can kill Zu Wanping without anyone noticing, you can be extremely powerful, or you can be a sneak attack by an acquaintance."
"The same goes for Sun Hao."
"Even if the evil cultivator is refining the magic weapon, there is no need to focus on the ancestral family and such hard ideas as Sun Hao."
"People from the ancestral family are very suspicious."
The hoof has been an evil cultivator.
Lu Tong also read a copy of "Travel Notes of Zhengzhuang".
When evil cultivators kill people, they want to hide their tails, and their targets are often outsiders, widowers, and so on.
Evil cultivators usually stay away from people like Zu Wanping.
Zu Wu looked complicated and said: "I have been in my ancestor's house all my life. When the fog comes, the people in the house seem to be unfamiliar to me."
Lu Tong and Yue Shenyu looked at each other and asked, "Who has changed?"
Whoever changes may be possessed by ghosts.
Zu Wu hesitated for a long time before saying: "Madam used to be sophisticated and considerate in dealing with things. Although she was a bit harsh to outsiders, she was definitely not like this."
Yue Shenyu asked directly: "Did your wife kill Zu Wanping?"
"Impossible!"
Zu Wu immediately shook his head and said: "Madam only has one son left, the Fourth Young Master, so it is impossible for her to commit such a murderous attack. Moreover, the Fourth Young Master obeys Madam's words, so there is no need for Madam to take action."
The group of people talked and hurried on.
Enter the ancestral mansion.
As soon as I walked in, I noticed something was wrong. Everyone in the house, including the servants and maids, looked panicked and walked in a hurry.
Zu Wu called a boy to stop and said, "What happened?"
"Manager Wu, Master Qi was killed, Master Xiang is also dead!"
"What!"
Zu Wu looked panicked and walked quickly towards the back garden.
Backyard, ancestral hall.
Under a black Dendrobium iron tree that is dozens of feet tall, there are two corpses, one big and one small.
The eldest is about thirty, and the younger is fifteen or sixteen years old.
All eyes were slightly open, lips were slightly open, and there was a pool of blood on the chest.
Lu Tong went over and asked: "When did you die?"
"Just after death, it took a while to drink tea."
When he heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
In front of a cup of tea.
We were still on the road at that time, and there were two witnesses around us who could completely clear the suspicion.
Mrs. Zu stood not far away.
Lu Tong's expression moved slightly, and he went over and said, "Madam, my condolences."
There was no trace of excitement in Mrs. Zu's eyes. She raised her eyelids and said nothing, but nodded slightly.
"Exianzhang, Madam is tired, please forgive me."
A maid helped Mrs. Zu leave.
He looked at the backs of the two of them, raised his brows after a moment, and shouted: "Zu Wu."
"Immortal, what's going on?"
"Who is that maid?"
Zu Wu looked at it carefully and said, "Yue Jian, the maid of the fifth lady."
"Just entered the house?"
"No, I grew up with Miss Fifth. What's wrong?"
"It's okay."
A faint light flashed in Lu Tong's eyes, and he slowly looked away.
It’s impossible for Fifth Young Lady’s maid to not understand the rules.
But when I helped Mrs. Zu just now, her footsteps fell half a step faster than Mrs. Zu's.
……
In the guest room.
Lu Tong and Zu Wu sat on chairs respectively, looking at each other.
"Is something wrong?"
Zu Wu forced a smile and said: "No. If the Immortal has anything to do, just give him the order."
He picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.
"I'm fine, you can go back."
Zu Wu sat motionless on the chair, was silent for a while, and then said: "I heard that the Immortal is learning swordsmanship recently, and I know the master of the Sandao Sect. If the Immortal is interested, let's go and visit together?"
Lu Tong stared at Zu Wu and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Two more died.
Zu Wu no longer cared about his face and nodded vigorously.
He poured a cup of tea, sent it over, and asked: "Tell me, how many young masters and ladies are there in the ancestral family?"
Zu Wu picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip, his face relaxed a bit.
"At the most ~IndoMTL.com~ there were five principals. The eldest young master went out to deliver goods and contracted the plague and died. The second young master was robbing mines in the mountains and was killed by someone. The third young lady married into the Kong family. . The fourth young master... the fifth young lady has already made an engagement, also with the Kong family."
"Where's the side room?"
"There are many side rooms, including the recently deceased Master Qi, Master Xiang, Master Rui, Master Han, Master Li, Miss Xi... In addition to them, there are also some who have separated and live outside the house."
Lu Tong thought for a moment and rubbed his eyebrows.
"The young master of the main house is dead. Who will inherit the family in the future, the young lady of the main house or the young master of the side house?"
Zu Wu opened his mouth several times, and finally said: "Probably none of them."
"What?"
He was a little surprised.
"A great golden elixir monk can live up to 500 years old. But my master only celebrated his 200th birthday last year."
Lu Tong fell into silence.
I thought it was Miss Fifth who killed the other young masters and inherited the ancestral family.
But with the life span of Grandpa Zu, it is estimated that he can survive all his sons and daughters.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
There was a rapid knock on the door.
He raised his hand to signal.
Zu Wu went to open the door and when he saw the person coming, he immediately saluted and said, "Master Li, why are you here?"
A young man in green robe pushed Zu Wu away, broke into the room, and said in panic: "Please save my life!"
Zu Wu put his head out and looked around, then closed the door and said, "There is no one outside."
Lu Tong asked: "Who wants to kill you?"
"Zu Han, Zurui, they must be the two murderers!"
"Sit down and talk."
Zu Li was uneasy, breathing heavily, and said: "They are all dead, we are all dead, we can only cultivate him, it must be them..."
"What?"
"When we die, the elixirs, exercises, magic weapons, silver, everything belongs to them!"
