The Ascension of Ghosts

Seeing a bit of bitterness on Shen Lun's face, Lu Sheng couldn't help but recall the scene where he and his master were relatively silent in the Qingming Department some time ago.

Wei Su and Mr. Shuiyue have been close friends for many years. Now they have their own way and parted ways. Now it is Lu Sheng's turn. He and Shen Lun's childhood sweetheart have been classmates for several years.

Lu Sheng took a sip of his wine. It was freezing cold, and the wine cooled extremely quickly, adding a bit of bitterness to his mouth.Ever since he accompanied Nan Lai to catch the traitor, when he saw Shen Lun meeting with the steward of Mr. Yun's house in private, he became suspicious, so he ordered Ji Chong and several subordinates to investigate Shen Lun's itinerary.

This investigation turned out to be somewhat unexpected.

Lu Sheng flipped through it casually, scanned several records marked with cinnabar, and said: "You and that steward Zhang of the Yunfu, before and after the accident, met a total of three times."

Shen Lun said: "Zhang Quan is from my hometown, and my ancestors have friendship, so... I see it more often. Baoyang, suspicious and dark ghosts, you have stayed in the Yulin Army for too long."

Lu Sheng put down his wine glass slowly, stared straight at Shen Lun, but there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes, and asked softly, "Brother Yunchang, what happened to the Yunfu?"

Shen Lun was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned pale.

Lu Sheng's tone was gentle, but his questioning words were sharp, "I didn't mention half a word, how did you know something happened to Yunfu?"

The disappearance of Yunchan is of great importance, and the Yun Mansion has kept it very tightly hidden, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to know about it.Since the steward Zhang was ordered to go to Xie Rong's mansion to welcome Yunchan and Yunye back home, he must be extremely trusted by the mansion, even to his fellow countrymen, he should strictly keep the secret and not speak falsely about family affairs.

Lu Sheng just mentioned before and after the accident, but Shen Lun looked calm, thinking he already knew about it.

Shen Lun's face was pale, and even the hand holding the octagonal wine cup was trembling, but suddenly he smiled wryly: "Baoyang, you...you actually learned to use tricks to deceive people."

Lu Sheng sighed: "I follow my mother's will and don't ask about court affairs, but I'm not a fool. Brother Yun Chang, the young lady of the Yun family is going to become a monk."

Lu Sheng met Yun Ye in a teahouse in the third year of junior high school, and learned about Yun Chan's recent situation from Yun Ye. Forget, haunted by nightmares every night, suffering from pain.Only when I recite Taoist scriptures can I have a moment of peace, so now I have the idea of ​​becoming a monk.

Shen Lun was slightly startled when he heard the words, but then he revealed a look of pain, and sighed: "Zhaohua doesn't know spring, so he entered the scripture hall in a deserted place. It's a pity, a pity."

Lu Sheng looked at his words, but he couldn't see any remorse in Shen Lun, so he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and he didn't want to go around with him anymore, so he asked directly: "Shen Lun, who is the person who destroyed the Xuanwu Soul Suppressing Seal?"

But Shen Lun picked up the black pottery thin-necked jug, filled the wine for the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Baoyang, but I don't understand."

However, Lu Sheng said: "The sorcery incident of King Chuyu is comparable to the witchcraft case of the previous dynasty. It involves a lot. My mentor was ordered to investigate this matter, and he told me not to frame Zhongliang, but also not to let Xiaoxiao go. The person who destroyed the Xuanwu Seal is the chief culprit who caused this turmoil, and must not be let go."

Shen Lun put down his wine glass, and said with a gloomy expression, "Baoyang, you're doing well, why are you threatening me?"

Lu Sheng said: "If you have a clear conscience, why are you afraid of my threats?"

Shen Lun sneered, and stood up: "The previous crown prince had a clear conscience, but he was also forced to conspire against him to commit suicide. How could he not be afraid in front of Habayashiro as a white body in the lower district?"

Lu Sheng also stood up, but his eyes were still clear, looking directly at Shen Lun, and said: "Brother Yun Chang, listen to me because of the years of friendship between classmates. After returning to Chenliu County, don't go to Beijing again gone."

"Lu Sheng!" Shen Lun was frightened and angry, and even his voice raised his voice unconsciously.

Lu Sheng was unmoved, and only said: "Of course I want to persuade you not to be a guest of King Chenliu, but everyone has their own ambitions, so I can't force it. But what did you do in Yunfu, I can find out Of course, others will be able to find out. Master Yun has always been tough, so brother Yun Chang should avoid the limelight."

Shen Lun clenched his fists under his sleeves, and said coldly, "What if I don't obey?"

Lu Sheng closed his eyes and sighed: "I can only kill my relatives righteously and escort you to the Habayashi Guard Camp for trial."

Shen Lun suddenly laughed, raised his hand and patted Lu Sheng's shoulder lightly, "Baoyang, you don't understand."

Lu Sheng was silent, why didn't he understand?Destroying Yun Xue's marriage will naturally benefit some people, but in the final analysis, it is just a party game, whether it is Yun Chan or Shen Lun, they are nothing more than pawns.

He is a meritorious person, patrolling and guarding the capital every day, practicing swords, catching ghosts, and protecting the people of one side from the harassing bandits Xiaoxiao, so he has fulfilled his duties and has a clear conscience.

As for Shuiyue and Shen Lun who have great ambitions and want to do something big, it has nothing to do with him.

Shen Lun made a long speech, but seeing that Lu Sheng was still unmoved, he could only sigh: "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan." Then they broke up unhappy.

Nan Lai came late, and she only saw the two of them saying goodbye, she just treated it as an ordinary quarrel between the two, complained a few words to Lu Sheng, but couldn't bear it, followed by a few words of comfort, then turned and hurried to look for Shen Lun.

Lu Sheng felt uncomfortable, and fell asleep after drinking a lot of wine, and woke up in the middle of the night, only to feel that his mind was chaotic, his chest was unbearably irritable, his mouth was dry, and there was nothing he wanted.He had to sit up and get out of bed to pour a cup of tea.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he stumbled and almost fell.He lit the lamp, but saw a black fish-skin saber lying on the ground, it was the hanging pot that he had thrown at Xie's mansion.

Lu Sheng was frightened and angry. He pushed open the window and looked out of the courtyard. There was no one around, and there was no trace of anyone sneaking into the courtyard.

He was afraid of disturbing his brother and sister-in-law, so he had to suppress his anxiety for the time being, and went out with the hanging pot before dawn to look for Xie Rong.

All the servants in Xie's mansion knew Lu Sheng well, and seeing him now, before Lu Sheng could knock on the door, Ruo Zhu hurriedly opened the mansion door, smiled and saluted, "Young Master Baoyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, please come in quickly."

He actually lured Lu Sheng into the room and went straight into the bedroom.

Xie Rong hadn't gotten up yet, she was reclining on the couch, her long hair was like a waterfall, she was only wearing a light and semi-transparent silk gown, she glanced at him with her half-awakened eyes, and patted the bed next to her lightly. , raised eyebrows and smiled: "Baoyang, come here, it's still early, first sleep with me for a while."

Xie Rong was born extremely beautiful, with heavy bones and handsome features. When she was dressed, she had the noble and elegant demeanor of a celebrity. Now her clothes are half-unbuttoned, revealing a slender neck, well-proportioned flesh and bones, and full and powerful muscles. It is comparable to practicing martial arts all year round. of warriors.

He showed no intention of covering up, with his breasts exposed and his starry eyes half covered, he was less aloof and desolate, and more lazy and casual.

Most of the anger in Lu Sheng's heart was extinguished in an instant, even though he kept scolding himself in his heart that he was blinded by his looks, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xie Rong, and couldn't move them away.

Xie Rong saw that the young man was staring at him in a daze, but his cheeks were gradually turning pink, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he simply lifted up the light quilt, and by the way, the light gown slipped off his shoulders, and said softly: "If you are willing to come over, I will let you have another taste of comfort."

Lu Sheng only felt a loud bang beside his ear. He was embarrassed, and the roots of his ears and cheeks were burning fiercely.

He put the hanging pot on the small table beside the bed, and said angrily: "Don't even try to seduce me! Xie Rong, why did you throw this thing into my room in the middle of the night?"

Xie Rong glanced down and said with a smile: "It's rare to have survived for so many days."

Lu Sheng was at a loss, Xie Rong said again: "These days, no one has touched the hanging pot."

Lu Sheng said: "If no one has moved, why did you suddenly appear in my room?"

Xie Rong smiled and said, "Of course I went to find you."

Lu Sheng opened his mouth wide open, pointed at the sword, and said: "It, it came to look for, look for me?"

Xie Rong said: "Spiritual sword has spirituality, and demonic sword naturally has demonic nature. I have been with you for a long time, and I have developed feelings. If I don't see you for a few days, I must miss you. Therefore, I can't trap it in this warehouse, so I went to find you."

Lu Sheng was furious, and punched the wall with a muffled bang. The servants outside the door were at a loss and looked at each other in blank dismay. Only Ruoxia was calm and focused, not taking it seriously.

Lu Sheng glared at Xie Rong again and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Xie Rong, what are you so worried about?"

Xie Rong yawned lazily, lay back on the bed, and said: "Seduction can't be done, so I can only force it. Come here."

Only when Lu Sheng had an ominous premonition, he involuntarily took off his outer clothes, shoes and socks, and got into the bedding.

The heat approached, Xie Rong pulled him into his arms behind him, his chest and back were pressed together without any gaps. caress.

Lu Sheng's face was flushed by the hot air in his ears, but he couldn't dodge it, his chest and abdomen were itchy and numb, and he couldn't help but breathe heavily, so he said angrily, "You were so well-behaved when you were young, why are you becoming a villain now? "

Xie Rong couldn't help but pinch his protruding chest and twist it gently. Hearing Lu Sheng gasp, his body stiff as a wood carving, he pulled out his hand, patted his buttocks soothingly, and said softly: "Then Let's sleep."

Lu Sheng was embraced by him, thinking how could he sleep?Xie Rong was not polite, she rested her chin lightly on the top of the young man's head, her breath became gentle for a while, and she fell asleep in front of her.

Lu Sheng was upset at night, and drank some wine, but fell asleep for a while, but now smelling the incense and listening to Xie Rong's long and peaceful breath, he also felt his eyelids heavy, and fell asleep in front of him.

When I woke up again, it was already high in the sun.

Xie Rong didn't know when she woke up, she was reclining on the couch, resting her stomach on one hand, looking at Lu Sheng with a smile, "The spring night is short, Lu Lang still can't bear to wake up?"

Lu Sheng said angrily: "Which one is with you! You monster, you are doing all your magic!"

As soon as he realized that his siblings were free, he hurriedly turned over and got on the bed. After dressing properly, he didn't care to ask Xie Rong more about the hanging pot, and left in a hurry.

Xie Rong stood up with a smile on her face, but she spread out her palm, revealing a black thread-like worm in her hand. The worm was dying, tried her best but only moved a little, then turned into green smoke silently and dissipated completely.

Although Lu Sheng was annoyed at Xie Rong's frivolity, he still had a good sleep in Xie's mansion. Now that he woke up, not only was he refreshed, but even his irritability was cleared away.Then Xie Rong didn't know what kind of skill he used to make him feel more at ease, and his sleep was more sweet than when he slept alone.

Lu Sheng was aware of this and left Xie's mansion in a hurry.

If not, I'm afraid that he will be bewitched to the point of fascination, and will be gnawed by that monster way to nothing left.

Although he was dubious about Xie Rong's words, at night he felt like he was facing a big enemy and was extra vigilant.Unexpectedly, he was negligent for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the hanging pot lying on the ground again.In this way, it is the same as it was on Wuwei Island back then.

The next day Lu Sheng went out again with the hanging pot, but this time he did not go to Xie's mansion.
