Scumbag Master Uncle's Whitewashing Road

Bringing Huo Qingfeng and Gongsun Rui to a deserted courtyard, Lu Li said, "Master Immortal, this is the haunted house."

The house has been abandoned for many years, the gate is stained with rust, and the walls are also somewhat collapsed.It may be because of the bloody incident, although it has been a long time, but there is still a strong yin and blood from inside, unscrupulously showing the ominousness of this place.

Huo Qingfeng looked up, and there was a dilapidated plaque hanging above the gate, with the words "Jiangfu" written on it.

Reaching out to push the door covered with spider webs, Lu Li was the first to do it for him.Huo Qingfeng couldn't help raising his eyebrows, this kid is quite winky.

Although it has been abandoned for a long time, judging from the scale of the house, the owner of the house must have been either rich or noble during his lifetime.It may be because of the heavy cloudiness, although it was broad daylight and the sun was shining brightly, but as soon as he stepped into Jiang's house, the surroundings became dark, and even the wind that blew past was chilly.

"The owner of the house is surnamed Jiang. He is a big family in Jiangzhou. His ancestors made his fortune by selling jewelry and jade articles." Lu Li introduced as he walked, "I'm still young 16 years ago, but the Jiang family's extermination case was too sensational, so there is still a Impression. It is said that a few days before the extermination of the door, the Jiang family suddenly encountered a monster. The old man of the Jiang family spent a lot of money to hire a mage to eliminate the monster. Unfortunately, the monster was not eliminated, but the Jiang family was killed. The jewelry and jade in the house were also looted. Just a room full of dead bodies."

Huo Qingfeng always felt that this story was familiar, but he forgot where he heard it.

Gongsun Rui asked suspiciously: "Do monsters like jewelry and jade? In my impression, only human beings would kill for money."

That's a good point.Huo Qingfeng thought to himself: If monsters are greedy for property, they can sweep away all the treasures by doing whatever they want.If there is no deep hatred, who will kill the whole family?

"Jiang's family has a big business, and there are many treasures in the house. There are dozens of guards alone. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to kill so many people together quietly. If it is not the work of monsters, what else is there? What kind of person has such a great ability?" Lu Li smiled and looked at Huo Qingfeng after speaking.

Gongsun Rui said: "Is it because the guards are guarding and stealing?"

"No." Lu Li shook his head, "The corpses have been counted one by one, and there is not a single guard servant missing."

Even the guards and servants were not spared, the murderer was brutal enough.Huo Qingfeng continued to ask: "Is there no one left alive in the Jiang family? Has anyone seen or heard anything nearby?"

Lu Li thought for a while before saying, "The Jiang family died quietly, no one heard anything. However, I heard that the youngest son of the Jiang family sneaked out to play that day, so he survived. But since then, no one has heard of it." I've seen him. After all these years, he's probably dead."

"That's true." Gongsun Rui lamented: "A child whose parents and relatives were all killed overnight and no one to take care of him must have had a hard life."

"Where is that sorcerer?" Huo Qingfeng asked: "Didn't the Jiang family invite a sorcerer to subdue the demon? Could it be that sorcerer was also killed?"

Lu Li said in a calm manner, "The mage didn't die, but afterward he caught a few monsters, said they were the murderers of Jiang's family, and executed them on the spot for public display. This incident caused panic, and everyone saw that the monsters were eliminated. , I feel relieved. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Jiang family started to be haunted again during this time, I’m afraid no one would want to recall the past 16 years ago.”

Huo Qingfeng always felt that the mage handled things too hastily.After thinking about it, I guess he is just an ordinary quack warlock, he still has the ability to catch little monsters and coax the common people, but he can't deal with such a cruel thing at first, and he is afraid of losing face, so he can only catch a few casually The little demon was perfunctory.

After talking, the three of them had already walked to the backyard.Lu Li pointed to a thick old pagoda tree in the garden and said, "The first cultivator killed was Qingsong from Fenghuomen. When he was found, he was hanged on this pagoda tree. There were scratches all over his body. , bloody."

Huo Qingfeng looked up along the place where Lu Li's finger was, and saw that the tree was full of branches and leaves, blocking all the sunlight. When the wind blew, the leaves rustled, as if someone was laughing wickedly, more like someone was crying ghostly.

"Most of the people in the Jiang family died in this house. They should have been imprisoned and killed slowly." Lu Li pointed to the house opposite the locust tree and added: "It is said that the old man of the Jiang family was killed He was blinded in one eye, and then hanged on the beam of the house. When he found the body, he opened his one eye and looked at the locust tree outside the window, dying with regret."

Gongsun Rui looked at the window, then at the place where Qingsong was hanged, and couldn't help but shudder, "Master, from the place where the old man of the Jiang family was killed, you can just see the corpse. This senior Qingsong is not It must have been hung here on purpose by the murderer. Could it be that he was related to the Jiang family's death?"

"I doubt it too." Before Huo Qingfeng could speak, Lu Li continued, "The second cultivator killed was Qingsong's elder brother Bai Song. He died here."

Lu Li took a few steps to the main entrance of the house, pointed to the ground and said, "He died by caesarean section, and his body was placed in a kneeling position."

Huo Qingfeng looked down, and there was indeed a large puddle of dried blood on the ground, which had turned black and exuded a faint stench.

"Master, this must be revenge." Gongsun Rui's eyes lit up: "The murderer is the youngest son of the Jiang family who survived. In 16 years, Qingsong Baisong wiped out Jiang's family, and that youngest son saw their appearance. Chang After he grew up, he first lured Qingsong to kill him. Qingsong and Baisong are brothers. If the younger brother died for no apparent reason, his elder brother would definitely come to investigate. So he killed Baisong again. The reason why he put the body in a kneeling The posture is to let him apologize to the Jiang family."

There is some truth to Gongsun Rui's words, Huo Qingfeng said: "But the letter from Shuiyue Palace said that the two brothers were killed by the poisonous son of the demon clan. Could it be that the youngest son of the Jiang family is the poisonous master of the demon clan?"

"This..." Regarding the identity of Mr. Du, the Immortal Sect has its own judgment, and everyone in the Tianyun Sect is well aware of it.Gongsun Rui was confused for a moment.

Lu Li said, "Poisonous Master? I really don't know that this matter is related to the Demon Race's Poisonous Master."

"Don't Mr. Lu know? The Master of the Water Moon Palace said that Mr. Du's red lotus mark was left next to the corpse." Gongsun Rui said.

Lu Li shook his head, "I've never heard anyone mention the red lotus mark."

This is somewhat inconsistent with the letter from Shuiyue Palace.Huo Qingfeng thought to himself.

"The two seniors, Qingsong and Baisong, are monks in the Immortal Sect. They have slain countless demons on weekdays. If it weren't for demons and ghosts, who would want to kill them?" Gongsun Rui asked puzzled.

Qingsong and Baisong were not mentioned much in the novel, so Huo Qingfeng didn't know much about them, so he could only look at Gongsun Rui and Lu Li and said, "Where are the two monks Qingsong and Baisong's ancestral home, do you know?"

"The ancestral home of the two of them is Jiangzhou. Later, the two brothers worshiped at the Fenghuo Sect to cultivate immortals at the same time, and have never been back since then. I heard that the reason why Qingsong came back this time was because he heard that a house in his hometown was haunted and disturbed him. Neighbors, that's why we eliminate harm for the people in our hometown," Lu Li said.

"Then do the two of them still have family members in Jiangzhou?"

Lu Li shook his head, "There is a hundred-year-old man on the street corner, who was his playmate when they were young. According to the old man, the two of them have no other relatives since their parents died when they were young. The two brothers supported each other. grown up."

Gongsun Rui came to a conclusion: "It may be that these two brothers were lonely and helpless when they were young, and they were bullied by the Jiang family. After the two of them were successful in cultivating immortals, they came back to take revenge, killed the whole family of Jiang's family, and blamed the monsters. It's a pity that they A moment of negligence allowed the youngest son of the Jiang family to escape from death. The youngest son of the Jiang family killed these two to avenge his family after he succeeded in practicing martial arts."

"Heroes see the same thing, and I think so too." Lu Li looked at Gongsun Rui, as if he had found a confidant.

Huo Qingfeng felt that something was wrong.On the surface, there is nothing wrong with Gongsun Rui's reasoning.But if you think about it carefully, there are still many unreasonable details.

If the murderer is indeed the youngest son of the Jiang family, even if he immediately worships the immortal sect or falls into the demon clan, he has only practiced for 16 years and is only 30 to 100 years old.With his own strength, he killed two famous monks who were over [-] years old, which is unreliable no matter how you think about it.Unless that child is as talented and intelligent as Leng Hanmo, or some expert adopts him with peerless magic skills, or there is a helper.

"Didn't you send someone over to ask after two monks died in the Fenghuo Sect?" Huo Qingfeng asked.

Lu Li smiled and said, "I heard that the head of the Fenghuo Sect is busy, and has asked Shuiyue Palace to investigate."

After all, Qingsong and Baisong are both well-known figures in the Fenghuo Sect, and their deaths are unknown at the moment. Even if the sect master is busy, shouldn't their master come and have a look?Huo Qingfeng murmured in his heart.

"Rui'er, first check to see if there is any magic energy here." Huo Qingfeng ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master." Gongsun Rui quickly took out two stacks of yellow talismans written in cinnabar, put them on his lips, and whispered a few incantations.

After a thorough investigation, Gongsun Rui said suspiciously: "Master, there is no demonic energy here, but the ghostly energy is quite heavy."

Glancing at the paper talisman in Gongsun Rui's hand, he saw that it was extremely cloudy, and the paper surface had been rotted into black, with a faint phosphorescent glow.

There are indeed ghosts here, and there are still a lot of them, and the grievances are also extremely heavy.Huo Qingfeng quickly mobilized his spiritual power and searched the Jiang residence.Unfortunately, apart from desolation and gloom, there are no ghosts.

"It's really strange, can ordinary ghosts kill two monks in the middle stage of Golden Core?" Gongsun Rui was puzzled.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Qingfeng with a smile, "I can't fathom this point. Immortal Master Huo, what advice do you have?"

Not to mention dozens of ghosts, even a hundred ghosts are like child's play in front of the Golden Core cultivator.Why did Qingsong and Baisong die so miserable and useless?Huo Qingfeng couldn't explain it clearly either.

Although I can't understand it, but in front of the juniors, I can't show it if I don't understand it.Huo Qingfeng coughed and said, "Let's go and see the death scene of other monks."

Lu Li smiled lightly, and instead of continuing to ask, he said, "It's getting late today, and the immortal master has worked hard all the way, why don't you go to the house to rest for the night, and it won't be too late to see it tomorrow."

Huo Qingfeng declined and said, "Why bother me at the mansion rashly? My master and apprentice can just find a place to live."

"Master Huo Xianshi may not know that the inns in Jiangzhou are all concentrated in the east of the city. Unfortunately, three monks died a few days ago. The innkeepers are afraid of being punished by God, so they are all closed. You may not be able to find a place to stay in a while. It's gone." Lu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Qingfeng with a half-smile.

Huo Qingfeng looked away, looked at Gongsun Rui and said, "Then let's find a ruined temple to settle down."

"It's also a coincidence." Lu Li smiled and said, "There is only a Town God's Temple in the west of the city in Jiangzhou. It is deserted all year round and few people go there. It's a pity that two monks died one after another in the past two days. The cause of death has not been found out yet."

"That's just right, the deity is going to have a look." Huo Qingfeng said.

Lu Li turned around and said, "I know Huo Xianshi is eager to investigate the case, but there is no need to be in a hurry. Our restaurant just released a few new dishes today. If Xianshi comes over, he can help try the dishes."

Gongsun Rui smiled and said: "Young master Lu is also a cultivator, you should know that we monks have already fasted the grain, and we don't need to eat mortal meals."

"Of course I know." Lu Li looked at Huo Qingfeng and said, "I'm also cultivating immortals, but I don't have any brothers from the same sect, nor do I have any acquaintances. I invite the two immortal masters back to earn some face. Besides, we Lu Our dishes are unique in Jiangzhou, don't you really want to try the Immortal Master?"

When Gongsun Rui heard that there was delicious food, he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and looked at Huo Qingfeng with a little hesitation.

In the novel, Lu's cuisine is as famous as Qingtian's, and the heroine Bai Qingqing and Lu Li also became acquainted because of Lu's cuisine.After Leng Hanmo left, Huo Qingfeng had not had any water or rice for more than three years, and now that he was tempted by delicious food, he was really greedy.

"Besides, I have already told your companions that I will go to the Lu Manor to find someone in three days." Lu Li continued, "If they can't find you, wouldn't it be my fault?"

After saying this, Lu Li's face was actually a bit pitiful.

Looking at his desperate expression, Huo Qingfeng's heart subconsciously softened, and finally succumbed to the double temptation of delicious food and beauty: "If that's the case, then don't bother me."

Seeing that he agreed, the corner of Lu Li's mouth curled into a complicated smile, mixed with joy and anger.The happy thing is that Huo Qingfeng agreed, and the angry thing is that he was hooked up by a man so easily.

Huo Qingfeng has always been too lazy to worry about it. Since he has agreed to live in Lu Li's house temporarily, everything will be arranged by Lu Li, and he will not pretend to refuse.

I have to say that Lu Li is worthy of being the second male lead in the book after Leng Hanmo, he is extremely thoughtful and considerate in everything.Whether it's the taste of the dishes or the choice and layout of the room, they are all in line with Huo Qingfeng's wishes.

As soon as Huo Qingfeng moved into Lu's house, he couldn't think of leaving.

Regarding Lu Li's hospitality, Huo Qingfeng naturally wouldn't pretend to be affectionate and think that it was because of his charismatic personality.Lu Li was so eager to curry favor with him, most likely because he wanted to contact Bai Qingqing through him.Huo Qingfeng predicted that even if he didn't live here, after three days, Lu Li would use other methods to strike up a conversation with Bai Qingqing.

Huo Qingfeng didn't care about Lu Li's careful use of him.After all, the setting of the male lead revolves around the heroine, and Huo Qingfeng also intentionally wants to match Lu Li and Bai Qingqing.The reasons for this cannot be deeply thought about.

After a sumptuous dinner, Huo Qingfeng went back to his room.

At the end of the month, there was a knock on the door.Huo Qingfeng got out of bed in his cloak, opened the door and saw Lu Li standing outside.

"Master Huo Xianshi, would you like to have a few drinks with me?" Lu Li asked with a smile as he raised the flagon in his hand.

The author has something to say:

The Jiang family's extermination case was mentioned earlier, do you still remember?
