Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 265: ancestral home

Big bed, soft quilt.

Lu Tong has not slept so comfortably for a long time.

When I was in the swamp, I slept on rocks every day;

After returning to the sect, I went to bed on the first night but didn't sleep much. I spent the remaining days practicing and taking a nap at the break.

Comfortable and slept soundly.

I fell into a deep sleep and didn’t want to wake up.

Early in the morning, a series of rapid knocks on the door came to my ears.

Lu Tong was awakened, and a surge of unknown anger surged from his chest.

"Who!"

"Immortal Lu, I'm sorry to bother you. There was an accident in the house. The fourth young master... the fourth young master was assassinated!"

"What?"

He sat up suddenly, strode over, and opened the door.

"Zu Wanping is dead?"

Zu Wu's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes and his face was very haggard. He nodded and said, "I just found out not long ago. Madam, please ask the immortal to come over."

He returned to the room, straightened his robes, washed himself briefly, and then went out: "Lead the way."

The ancestral mansion occupies a large area, and many black Dendrobium iron trees are planted in the back garden.

In the depths, there is a huge black tree dozens of feet tall.

Lu Tong walked over quickly.

Zu Wanping's body was placed on the ground, with his eyes closed, his lips slightly open, and a large pool of blood remaining on his chest.

Even after death, there is still a sharp aura between his brows.

"Lu Xianchang."

A slightly older middle-aged woman asked with red eyes: "I heard that Ping'er went to see the immortal last night. May I ask what happened at that time?"

He frowned and turned to look at Zu Wu.

"Who is this?"

"My wife is also the fourth young master's biological mother."

Lu Tong nodded slightly and said: "Mrs. Zu, last night Steward Zu brought Zu Wanping over to meet, and we made an appointment to kill ghosts together in the future. I will let him die at any time."

"Then what?"

"Then Zu Guanshi and Zu Wanping will leave together. Madam can ask Zu Guanshi."

Zu Wu bowed.

"Back to Madam, just as Lu Xianchang said. After leaving, the young master went back to his room to rest. I went to distribute food outside the house and was busy until I came back this morning."

Mrs. Zu looked sad and looked down at the corpse on the ground.

After a while, an old monk with slender eyes was brought by the boy.

Mrs. Zu immediately came over and said, "Mr. Qin, thank you for your hard work."

Mr. Qin nodded slightly, walked to the corpse and squatted down, stretching out his long and thin fingers to create a stream of magic power.

"Time of murder, four to four and a half hours ago."

"A fatal wound, right in the center."

“The wound is round, thin on the inside and thick on the outside, like an iron cone or a thin gun, or it may be a special **** technique.”

"With relaxed eyes and relaxed muscles, it may be that he was killed suddenly or in his sleep."

"There were no other injuries and no hands were touched before death."

After talking for a long time, Mr. Qin stretched out a finger, dipped it in some blood and put it into his mouth.

Slowly stood up after a moment.

Mrs. Zu immediately asked: "Mr. Qin, how are you doing?"

Mr. Qin took out a white silk scarf and wiped his fingers, shook his head and said: "The loss of blood and flesh in the heart may be related to evil practices."

Mrs. Zu’s expression changed instantly, she looked around, and finally focused on Lu Tong.

The caravan entered the city yesterday.

There are many strangers coming to Zu Mansion, but there are not many who can be called masters and can kill Zu Wanping easily.

There is only one person related to Zu Wanping.

"Xianchang Lu, where have you been since Ping'er left last night?"

His expression remained unchanged.

What a coincidence.

It’s normal to be suspected.

Just explain it clearly. If you can’t explain it clearly, make another plan.

"It was hard fighting with the Fog Ghost yesterday. After they left, I quickly went to bed to rest without leaving the room."

"Is there anyone else who can testify?"

Lu Tong looked around and said, "If there is a boy watching outside the room, he can testify."

Mrs. Zu ordered someone to summon the boy who was keeping watch at night.

People are coming one after another.

Yue Shenyu also brought two maids.

Looking at the corpse and the surrounding monks, he noticed that several people were staring at Lu Tong, and he couldn't help but look slightly cold.

"Junior brother, what's going on?"

Lu Tong showed a wry smile, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said: "Zu Wanping, the fourth young master of the Zu family, was the helper introduced by the Zu steward last night."

Yue Shenyu's expression froze and he couldn't help but shook his head.

……

The news of Zu Wanping's murder spread, causing a turmoil inside and outside the Zu family.

But it has nothing to do with Lu Tong.

The night watchman slept in and was unable to testify.

When Mrs. Zu was having doubts, Mr. Zu sent back a command "It has nothing to do with Qi Capture Sect disciples", allowing him to get away from the incident.

It's approaching noon.

Lu Tong and Yueshenyu ate together.

There are not many dishes on the table.

There are only two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup.

However, Aoshan City is very short of food now, and a meal with meat and vegetables is already very rich.

Yue Shenyu simply took a few sips and said with a smile: "The time is right and the strength is right. Fortunately, the murderer did not use a knife, otherwise it would be difficult for the junior brother to get away with it."

He picked up an iron silkworm, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it hard.

"If you don't kill me sooner or later, you kill me last night. It's like pouring dirty water on me."

After saying that, he took a copper plate and roasted the meat.

Yue Shenyu put down his chopsticks.

Behind him, the maid brought from the sect immediately served tea.

“Nine times out of ten, it’s related to the competition for mines.”

Lu Tong tore off a large piece of meat and bit it in his mouth.

"Huh?"

"The ancestral family occupies a lot of mineral veins, and I don't know how many enemies we have made. The head of the ancestral family is not in the house recently, so it is the time for revenge."

He chewed the meat hard while thinking.

Zu Mingjing, the head of the ancestral family, is guarding the ancestral family’s mines on the left side of the mountain. Other golden elixir great monks are also scattered outside the city and on the mountains.

If you want to take revenge, the opportunity now is indeed a rare one. ~IndoMTL.com~ Swallowed the piece of meat, picked up the strong tea to relieve greasiness, and drank half the cup in one gulp.

Lu Tong put the chores behind him and asked: "Senior sister, when are you going to kill ghosts?"

"Immediately. At noon, senior brother and other great monks will go into the fog together to hunt for the golden elixir realm fog ghosts. We have a stick of incense to take action."

"Just one stick of incense?"

Lu Tong put down his tea cup and sighed: "It's a pity that Zu Wanping is dead, otherwise there would be one more helper."

"It doesn't matter, the two of us are enough."

When the two were talking.

Zu Wu came in with a monk with a broken eyebrow and said, "Excuse me, Immortal Chief."

Lu Tong turned around.

"The ancestor is in charge, who is this?"

"Captain Sun, Hao Sun, used to **** the goods for the caravan. The young master had an accident, so it was up to Leader Sun to assist the Immortal in killing ghosts."

Sun Hao cupped his hands and said: "Sun Hao of Dangchen Sword Sect, I have met two immortal leaders!"

He looked up and down.

He is not tall, but his arms are very long, and his left arm is about three inches longer than his right arm.

People with strange looks often have strange abilities.

"What methods is Leader Sun good at?"

Sun Hao took out a black-ridged sword.

Holding the sword in his left hand, he stabbed with his hand. The sword trembled and made a "buzzing" sound, and the tip of the sword trembled covering the upper and lower feet.

Lu Tong looked slightly happy, nodded and said: "That's right, Leader Sun will take a short rest, we will set off in a while."

"Yes."

At noon, the sun should have been shining brightly in the sky.

But the gray fog was rising up, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. When I looked up, I could only see a patch of gray.

"Eight-legged elephant, nine-headed dragon, hundred zombies, come out!"

The screams of the Jindan monks spread throughout the city and outside the city.

Lu Tong and Yue Shenyu looked at each other

"Let's go!"

The two jumped into the air.

In the rear, four wind monkeys, Sun Hao, and a female cultivator from the ancestral family followed closely behind.
