"Who are you? Don't make trouble. I'm presiding over an anti-feudal event." Lu Ming could not help saying that it seemed that people dressed and acted should have received advanced education like himself.

"My name is Qi Mengzhu, and I am the descendant of the Qi family, a famous Taoist master. Sir, this temple cannot be destroyed now." Qi Mengzhu was young, but when he spoke, he was awe-inspiring.

"You are young, what you do is not good, but spread feudal superstition. Nowadays, Marxism-Leninism is a good knowledge worth spreading. Girl, you should not be as obsessed with other charlatans."

"Bah, bah, aunt, I don't look like a charlatan." Qi Mengzhu walked in front of Shanpao, and hummed, "If you don't know, you won't be in awe."

Lu Ming felt that this woman was stubborn, and her pretty face turned into embarrassment. He pulled Qi Mengzhu who was standing in front of the cannon muzzle, and said solemnly to the soldiers behind him: "Blow up this feudal and superstitious Fox Fairy Temple, Anyone who refuses to obey the command hesitates, and the military law will take care of him!"

The soldiers also followed their regiment leader through life and death many times, and they were not afraid of anything, except their regiment leader lost his temper.So when Lu Ming finished speaking, the two artillerymen basically completed a series of actions of reloading and igniting subconsciously.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise in the originally quiet back mountain of Huzhong County. The forest shook, birds fluttered, and the huge sound echoed in the valley.

Lu Ming felt that the stone in his heart fell to the ground at this moment.

On the other hand, Qi Mengzhu covered his ears, staring blankly at the flames engulfing the entire temple, and a strange dark green light suddenly appeared in front of his pupils.In Qi Mengzhu's bright eyes, he suddenly saw a ghost figure rising from the bombed ruins, and he didn't know where he went in a blink of an eye.

"It's broken, it's broken..." Qi Mengzu murmured.

She put her hands on her hips and glared at Lu Ming angrily: "It's all right now, this monster is released by you, and it will definitely poison the lake. Auntie, I came here specially to stop the disaster from happening, you don't believe it!"

Chapter 873 The old disease relapses

The tall and slender Lu Ming stood where he was, looking at the girl in front of him who was exasperated and glaring, pretending to be calm.Seeing her looking at him with burning eyes, her face was serious, and she didn't mean to be joking at all.

"Girl, why are you so stubborn? Now everyone in big cities like Beiping and Nanjing advocates atheism. When tall buildings are about to rise, why are there ghosts and gods?" Lu Ming shook his head, deeply hating the feudal dross that tormented people once again.

"It's getting late, and it's inconvenient for you as a girl to go out alone. I'll send someone to take you back." Lu Ming opened and closed his thin lips, and gently raised his slender fingers, "Shao Jiu, take her back."

Although the word "send" is used, the meaning of the expulsion order cannot be more obvious.

Qi Mengzhu put his hands on his hips angrily, then took out a yellow Taoist talisman from his suit pocket, and pressed it under the broken log of the Fox Fairy Temple.

"Heaven and earth are one qi, which is the source of all things. Fate has its own number of days, but qi is impermanent..."

She recited the incantation silently, and the surroundings seemed to be filled with a strange and mysterious atmosphere: "This illusory beast has received the qi of heaven and earth in the lake for many years. Although it uses the worship of the people in the lake, it has also benefited from it for many years, and it is safe. But recently, This monster is about to achieve great success, but you destroy its nest and overthrow the house, it will definitely not let it go."

"Captain Lu, you will still come to find me." Qi Mengzhu smiled, turned around and disappeared into the night.

-

This back view has been lingering in Lu Ming's heart.

For two consecutive nights, the moon was astonishingly bright, illuminating the county town in Huzhong pale, with dead branches swaying under the moon, and the lonely wind weeping.

Lu Ming was preoccupied with something, so naturally it was difficult to fall asleep on such an autumn night.

After worrying for two days, nothing major happened in the county.

It's just that the common people knew about the destruction of the Houshan Fox Fairy Temple, and they complained a lot.Lu Ming heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed at himself in his heart, he never thought that he would be disturbed by the nonsense stories of that girl who didn't know where she came from.It seems that people's fear and awe of the unknown is really inevitable.

Just when Lu Ming felt that things were about to pass like this, a scream pierced the silent night just after dawn.

"My man has been like that this morning. I thought he was still sleeping. I'll wake him up after breakfast is ready. But..."

The woman who spoke was in her early thirties, and she and her husband were the only ones at home.Early this morning she found out that her husband had passed away.Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, but the way this person died is a bit strange.The man is tall and handsome, but his family is poor, so he managed to find a wife.Poor and lowly couples are sad about everything, their relationship has always been bad, and they have been married for many years without children.

Today, after his wife found out that the man was dead, she didn't report it in time. It was the neighbors who found out that she followed everyone to the government to report the case.

The common people and the people of the county found it strange. Naturally, the first suspect was also determined to be the wife of the first person who discovered the body.

Lu Ming took Wu Zuo to the scene of the crime. As a soldier, he may have seen more corpses than living people.But the way this man died was really strange, his face was filled with a kind of exaggerated smile.Just looking at it this way, he looks like one of those heavy smokers who smoked to death, but he knew that with this person's family background, he would never be able to smoke.

"Has your man had any particularly serious illness recently?"

"No."

"Is there an old disease?"

"Why, his body is stronger than a cow."

After several operations and inspection for a long time, there was nothing different about the corpse except for the exaggerated expression.

Everyone looked at that strange face one after another, their eyes were half-opened, their pupils turned up, and only a few ink-colored bloodstains could be seen.In addition, the corners of the raised mouth were drooling, as if she was extremely happy.

Just as Lu Ming and the soldiers looked at the corpse helplessly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Lord Lu! My lord!"

Just listening to the noisy voice, Lu Ming knew that it was the slick Wang Mouse who was coming.

"The big thing is bad, the big thing is bad! Houshan... Something happened to Houshan!"

"What?" Lu Ming said in his heart. It's a blessing and a curse.Immediately, he was about to follow Wang Mouse to the back mountain. Thinking that there was still a murder case on his side, he said hello to Shao Jiu, and then left with big strides.

The mountain behind the lake, in the afternoon.

It should have been a time when there were no people.At this time, the mountain was full of people from the county town, talking about something in a low voice.

Lu Ming led a team of people and followed Wang Mouse to the back mountain.

"Get out of the way!" Wang Mouse helped Lu Ming open the way.When the villagers saw that it was Lu Ming who had come, their discussions became louder.

Lu Ming walked through the crowd, surrounded by the Fox Fairy Temple that had been blown into ruins.Lu Ming thought that what he saw in that villager's house today was the weirdest corpse he had ever seen in his life, but soon Lu Ming knew that he was wrong.

The crowd was surrounded by a dead body. The body of the dead body was in a kneeling posture. What was even more strange was that the neck of the torso was empty, leaving only a blood hole, and there was a skeletal skull at the foot of the dead body.

Why would a person who had just died have a skull that was completely ossified?

"The retribution of the fox fairy!"

"That's right, the retribution came really fast. Our family is already packing up and moving."

The people around were talking about it for a while, and they had no intention of avoiding Lu Ming.

Although no one said it publicly, everyone undoubtedly blamed Lu Ming for the strange incident.

Lu Ming didn't speak either.Somehow, that night, the words that the girl named Qi Mengzhu said reappeared in my mind again.

——"This monster is about to achieve great success, but you destroy its nest and house. It will definitely not let it go. Head Lu will come to me."

Could it be that this girl has figured everything out long ago, and everything is as she thought?

Lu Ming shook his head unconsciously, as if he wanted to get this chilling thought out of his head.

"Come here... Let's bury that person first." The onlookers watched for so long, and no one claimed to be the relative of this person. People in the war era have become a little numb to the dead.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Ming's order came out, instead of stepping forward to bury the headless corpse, the soldiers under his command took a step back.

Lu Ming knew that in the hearts of these people, they lived and died with him, and they were by no means greedy and afraid of death. The reaction now was obviously shocked by the ghost legend.

Reluctantly, he walked up to the headless male corpse with his long legs, and gestured to his subordinates. Only when the regimental leader took the lead, did the soldiers courageously go forward.

Chapter 874 Broken Temple

The onlookers saw that Captain Lu was really so disrespectful of life and death, and looked at each other. The headless corpse was too weird. They cringed and looked at the dark blood hole on the neck of the corpse. They were all gone, and they all talked about fleeing.

Lu Ming was relieved to see the crowd disperse automatically.

He reached out and grabbed the corpse's shoulder, and lifted it upwards. What he didn't expect was that the corpse remained motionless under his vigorous lifting action.

Lu Ming tried again, but the corpse was still motionless, still maintaining the posture of kneeling in the direction of the Fox Fairy Temple.He frowned, put his arm on the corpse's shoulder, and pushed hard.

The soldiers blushed when they saw their regiment leader, but the corpse was still kneeling like a statue, motionless.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mouse, who was secretly peeking at the back of the team, broke into a cold sweat. He has no education, but he has heard many ghost stories from the older generation since he was a child.

He poked his head out and shook his voice and said, "Master, the fox fairy has appeared... let's go!"

Lu Ming's face was gloomy. He didn't believe in fox fairies, but he also felt that something was wrong. After several unsuccessful attempts to move the corpse, he stood up on his knees, and his deep pupils were filled with thick fog.

"Let's go? Is it possible to put the corpse in this place, making people panic?"

"Leader...or let's discuss with the leader, the evil is here, and ordinary people will not dare to come again." Shao Jiu said in a low voice.

As it was getting late, Lu Ming felt more and more unhappy.But there was nothing to do at the moment, so he had to go back to the county first to make plans.

Lu Ming, who was tossing and turning on the bed that night, didn't know that the nightmare in Huzhong County had just begun.

-

In the next few days, three strange deaths of young men occurred in the small Huzhong County.

The county is in a state of desperation, and there is no clue after investigation and investigation.

The body shape of each deceased is exactly the same as the first man who died at home, with a smile on his face as if he was in bliss, but it makes people feel creepy.

Lu Ming wholeheartedly wanted to lead a good life with the elders in his hometown, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen just as everything was on the right track.Because of the continuous connection with the people, the common people are in a state of anxiety all day long. In the past two days, there were no fewer than dozens of households who moved out of the county.

Lu Ming was at a loss as to what to do, his chest was filled with distress, and he walked to the back mountain without realizing it.

He looked at the Fox Immortal Temple that he had blown flat, and was a little dazed.

"Is it really my fault?" he murmured to himself.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of half a yellow talisman lying on the ground not far from the ruined temple, knelt down to pick it up and rubbed it, his doubts deepened.

"It's strange. On the night when the Fox Fairy Temple was blown up, the whole yellow talisman was still under the broken wood. Why is there only half of the talisman left?" Lu Mingwu asked spontaneously. Qi Mengzhu's words lingered like a spell, making him unconsciously hold Tighten the yellow talisman.

Now that things have happened, Lu Ming can't help but not believe it, so he can only find the owner of the yellow talisman and ask him what happened.

Lu Ming put half of the yellow paper into his pocket and walked away.

He even felt that he had gone to the doctor in a hurry, so when he returned to the county, he immediately sent his soldiers all over the county to look for the woman named Qi Mengzhu.

After a whole day, the soldiers almost turned Huzhong County upside down, but they couldn't find Qi Mengzhu.

Lu Ming was anxious and anxious. Thinking about it, he felt absurd. He obviously didn't believe in these ghosts and monsters, but he was shaken for a while, which is really ridiculous.

He regained his senses, and the fearless nature of iron and blood surged up in his bones, and his heart sank, holding the half yellow talisman and his own Mauser pistol, and planned to meet the so-called "monster" by himself for a while.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, Lu Ming came to the back mountain again.

In the dim light, even if Lu Ming was agile, it took a lot of effort to go up to the Fox Fairy Temple.

Through the moonlight, Lu Ming saw the corpse still kneeling on the hill.Picking up his wine jug, he took two sips of wine.He walked towards the corpse with big strides.

But after taking two steps, Lu Ming realized that something was wrong, because there was clearly a looming figure beside the corpse.But this time, except for myself.Where does anyone come here.

Lu Ming held his breath, took out the pistol on his waist, became vigilant, approached the figure carefully and cursed secretly: "Whatever it is, give him a shuttle first."

"Captain Lu, don't be nervous, it's me." A female voice sounded, her tone was very calm.

Although the voice was somewhat familiar, in such a special environment, Lu Ming's hairs still stood on end when the figure suddenly made a sound.

"Qi Mengzhu?" Lu Ming asked, he was surprised to find that his voice was trembling at this moment.

"Yes." The other party replied with one word, without saying anything.

Lu Ming tentatively walked towards the other party, and he could see it clearly when he walked in. It was really the girl who talked to him that day.

She was dressed the same as that day, but now she was carrying a bag and holding a skeleton in her hand, as if she was studying something.

"Little Fairy... what are you doing?"

"I didn't expect Captain Lu to call me that." Qi Mengzhu burst out laughing, didn't look at Lu Ming, but focused on the skeleton in his hand. "I don't like people calling me that."

Lu Ming rubbed his nose and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. Miss Qi, did I really cause trouble?"

"...I was the one who said it dead that day, and I apologize to Captain Lu." Qi Mengzhu put down his skull, stared at Lu Ming with two clear eyes, and slightly parted his cherry lips, "This Fox Fairy Temple is indeed a unique place for you in the lake." Time bomb, if you detonate it now, the monster will cause trouble. If you don’t detonate it, in time, Huzhong County will still be doomed. So instead of saying that Captain Lu caused trouble, it’s better to say that you did a good deed.”

Lu Ming has been in a gloomy mood these days, because Qi Mengzhu's words have improved.

"Then what happened in Huzhong County these days, could it be that this monster is responsible for it?" Lu Ming asked in a deep voice, although he has been unwilling to believe this possibility.

"Does Captain Lu know that this Fox Fairy Temple is neither a Taoist temple nor a Buddhist temple. Then where did this temple come from?"

"I've heard a little bit about it. I heard that it's a habit for people to believe in foxes, yellow, white, willow, and gray five immortals. It's also a habit to respect fox immortals." Lu Ming stroked his chin lightly, his deep and narrow eyes slightly narrowed, dim and unclear.

"This habit exists, but the origin of the Fox Immortal Temple in Huzhong County is quite different from other places."

What Qi Mengzhu said next shocked Lu Ming who was dismissive of the theory of gods and ghosts.

According to the records of Huzhong County Chronicles, before the formation of Huzhong County, the Fox Immortal Temple had already existed, and the incense has been burning all the time.However, Huzhong County has a history of more than a thousand years, and it has been no less than 2000 years since it was first populated.
