Extreme Demon

A group of people carried Lu Sheng to the bedroom and invited a special doctor from the Lu family to come and check.

After the doctor entered the room, he came out soon.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that he was exhausted, and he was hit hard on his lower abdomen. The eldest son has a strong body, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't hurt his internal organs."

Lu Quan'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Sheng took matters into his own hands this time, which was a bit reckless.

As the eldest son of the Lu family, if anything happens to him, what should he do in the future?

"Quan An, this is also a helpless time."

The uncle sighed.

"I plan to report the matter here to the imperial court in person, bypassing the prefect. Song Duanchi, as a city official, had previously said that he would report to the imperial court, but now, as the deputy commander, I have asked the commander Yang Duanrui to submit letters several times. They were all pushed away by him."

"Is there any inside story?" Lu Quan'an asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know about that girl Qing Qing. There is still no news about the missing people." The uncle shook his head.

The two of them stood outside the door, feeling that they had to do something, but they didn't know what they could do.

This kind of thing is beyond their imagination.

Although I had heard of this kind of thing from other places before, when it happened in my own home, I didn’t know what to do.

"How about..." Lu Quan'an pondered, "Let's put up a list and offer a reward to recruit people who can solve such supernatural things."

"With a lot of money, there must be a brave man, maybe it can be done. Anyway, these things are making a fuss now, and there is no way to cover it up."

The uncle nodded.

The two discussed it carefully and settled on the matter.

Not long after, people from the Lu family took stacks of red paper and posted them outside the gate of the Lu family and on the nearby public notice wall.

Red paper was quickly posted at several important places with high traffic.

It attracted many passers-by to watch.

A few days later.

At the city gate.

On the main road with people coming and going and heavy traffic.

A caravan dragging gray cargo slowly stopped at the city gate. The leader of the caravan began to call for unloading and waited for someone to move it.

This caravan was just passing through Jiulian City, and only part of the cargo was unloaded.

While the leader was saying hello, two people, one tall and one short, jumped out of a carriage of the caravan.

The two of them were wearing Taoist robes, and the taller one was a middle-aged man with a rosy complexion. He carries a sword on his back and wears white cloth shoes with black soles.

The woman is also dressed in Taoist robes, but she looks pretty. Although she is faintly tired, she can still tell that she is well educated. In this era, only people from wealthy families could have such a situation.

"Brother Yan, this is Jiulian City."

The woman's voice was very clear, like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who had just started speaking.

"Well, it should be the Jiulian City that person mentioned. Rongrong, you have worked hard all the way."

The man nodded and looked around.

Soon he noticed a red notice paper posted at the city gate.

The announcement attracted a group of people to watch, and even the two soldiers guarding the city came over to chat with others.

Everyone had expressions of surprise and envy on their faces.

"I didn't feel too miserable along the way with Brother Yan Kai. The notice over there looks like a reward notice. Let's go take a look first. Maybe someone has already posted a message asking for help if they are in trouble."

Rongrong followed Yan Kai all over the country and gained a lot of experience in this kind of thing.

In the several incidents they encountered before, they found the person who had the accident immediately through the notice.

Yan Kai nodded.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two walked into the city gate and quickly squeezed towards the notice posting area.

"It's the Lu Mansion. It's been really uneasy in the city recently. Even the Lu family has had trouble."

"The Lu family, there was someone who escaped before. I took a look and it seemed to be the former Lu family guard captain. The whole house was in panic."

"I haven't seen Sister Yu out shopping for several days. Could something really happen?"

The people around me were talking to each other, chatting intermittently.

Yan Kai listened carefully and looked up at the posted notice.

‘A reward of five hundred gold is offered to recruit strange people.

There have been a lot of strange things happening in the city recently, and people have gone missing from time to time.

Before that, there were the Xu family tragedy and the Wangjiazhuang manhole case. Now there is the sound of a woman crying in the middle of the night in my house.

In order to seek peace in the family, a reward of 500 taels of gold and about 5,000 taels of silver was offered to investigate the matter thoroughly. Find the missing person. ’

The notice was written simply and its meaning concise and clear.

There was also a notice posted below, which told the whole story of the incident in which Lu Mansion encountered cries in the middle of the night.

The missing persons case that occurred in Lu Mansion was completely written out.

Yan Kai looked at it carefully and frowned slightly.

"That's it. Let's go to Lu's house."

Rongrong also read the announcement.

"It just so happens that we are also looking for this ghost, and we can also make some money along the way."

"We practice Taoism, not for money." Yan Kai said solemnly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Rongrong stuck out her tongue and quickly shut up. She knew that Brother Yan Kai couldn't bear the idea of ​​repaying a favor.

Without saying a word, Yan Kai stepped forward and tore down the notice.

The servant guarding Lu Mansion's eyes lit up and he suddenly became energetic.

"You two, please come this way!"

Yan Kai nodded.

Taking Rongrong with him, he went with the Ding family to the Lu Mansion.

The crowd who had been watching the excitement suddenly became a little uproar, and many good people followed along.

I want to see if they really went to Lu's house.

The two men and women dressed in Taoist robes seemed to have two brushes.

Yan Kai didn't care whether there was anyone following him or not. His color did not change as he walked and he turned a blind eye. He was obviously used to being watched by people.

Rongrong took the initiative to chat with the servant and asked about the situation of Lu Mansion.

Not long after, the two got into a carriage. The carriage turned left and right. After walking for a while, it stopped.

As soon as the two got off the car, someone led them into a large house with rockeries, flowing water, small bridges and gardens, birds singing and flowers fragrant, and the decoration was extremely exquisite and luxurious.

Yan Kai didn't look sideways and led Rongrong forward, and soon arrived at a living room.

"welcome."

A middle-aged man with a sad face and pale face was sitting in the living room.

The man has a rich figure, wears a moon-white robe with a silver-edged copper coin pattern, and a long beard on his chin is neatly combed and clean.

It was Lu Quan'an who just came from Lu Sheng.

"But the city gate notices that you tore off?" Lu Quan'an looked at the two people in front of him carefully.

Both of them are Taoists. The man has a ruddy and shiny complexion, a full forehead, solemn eyes, and a straight back. If he changes into a Confucian robe, he will look like a distinguished scholar.

The woman's face was pretty, with a hint of innocence, and her eyes were moving and she glanced around. It looked like a young lady from some family had sneaked out to dress up.

"Exactly. The poor Taoist's face is blooming. The color of the face is the beginning of the blooming. The Taoist name is also Yangzi."

Yan Kai introduced himself.

"This is the poor Taoist junior sister Duan Rong. I waited for the two of them to come here because of the missing persons issue posted by the Lu Mansion."

"You two, please take a seat, please take a seat."

Lu Quan'an stretched out his hand to signal.

Yan Kai and the two sat down, and a maid quickly served tea and refreshments.

"I have written the specific details in the notice. If Master Huan Yangzi wants to accept this reward, he must meet his son Lu Sheng.

The reward offered by our Lu family this time will be reviewed by him. "Lu Quan'an said softly. "Of course, if the Taoist master is really capable, no matter whether he succeeds or not at this time, he will be given a hundred taels of silver afterwards. "

After saying this, Yan Kai and Duan Rongrong both agreed.

Lu Quan'an asked Yan Kai a little more about their origins, where they were from, and how old they were. Where is the fairyland?

Yan Kai answered them all one by one.

After taking a short rest, several more people who revealed the list soon came to the living room.

Among the few people who came later, two were monks from Honglian Temple, and one was a Taoist like Yan Kai.

The last person was a knight-errant, with two swords hanging from his waist, both short knives. He had a handsome face, but if you look closely, he looked like a woman disguised as a man.

After waiting for a while, the people from Lu Quan'an's room were almost here, so he asked everyone to get up and go to the other courtyard where Lu Sheng was.

There are many Lujia villas and they occupy a large area. Some of the houses even extend close to the city wall, taking up a full third of the most prosperous area in Jiulian City, which shows their wealth.

Among the five families in the city, the Lu family is the richest.

Everyone followed Lu Quan'an and walked towards Huangheyuan.

Along the way, everyone could see guards and servants with swords guarding the courtyards everywhere.

These bodyguards are all thick-waisted and round-armed, strong and stand upright. It is obvious at a glance that they have received military training.

Yan Kai looked over, his expression slightly serious.

"This Lu family is a bit powerful."

Duan Rongrong was puzzled.

"They are just rich and powerful. They are similar to the ones we met before. What's so great about them?"

Yan Kai shook his head.

"It's not that, but the Lu family should have a military background, otherwise the servants and guards here would not be so impressive. Military regulations are strict, and only those who receive military camp training from time to time can always maintain such spirit.

This is not something that retired veterans can have. "

"He has a military background! This kind of people actually post notices asking for help. It seems like they are in trouble."

Duan Rongrong was speechless after hearing this.

The group walked hundreds of steps and soon entered the Yellow Crane Courtyard.

Huangheyuan is close to the school grounds, and you can still faintly hear the chants of the guards training on the grounds.

Lu Sheng, the eldest son of the Lu family, was sitting on a recliner, half-lying down, his face was pale, his body was wrapped in a thick blanket, and the clear smell of medicine could still be smelled in the air. He doesn't seem to be in good spirits.

Yan Kai looked at Lu Sheng carefully, and at a glance, he could see that the energy in his eyes was weak, like a patient who had not recovered from an injury.

"I have seen all the strong men."

Lu Sheng coughed twice and bowed his hands to everyone.

"As you can see, I am not in good health and my injury has not healed, so I will not get up to greet everyone."

"Master Sheng, you're welcome."

A monk from Honglian Temple, named Master Zhentan, stepped forward to speak.

"The Lu family has always been one of our devout pilgrims at Honglian Temple. When something happened this time, the host asked me to make a special trip to see if there is anywhere I can help."

"Thank you so much, Master. Thank you Honglian for me for hosting."

Lu Sheng smiled back.

The other person asked about the case.

Lu Sheng answered one by one.

Yan Kai and Yan Kai listened carefully and looked at Lu Sheng.

"It was due to the invasion of Yin Qi, and the injury was recent."

After Yan Kai observed carefully, he saw something strange about Mr. Lu's body.
