Skilled in managing a house

Lu Zuge is located in the executive district of Huangpu. Zhenhai is the largest administrative district. In addition to Zhendong, Zhennan, Zhenxi and Zhenbei, there are also a lot of executive districts.

Huangpu Executive District is a good place, and the Taoist temple is not very competitive, so the incense in Lu Zuge has always been good.

Luzu Pavilion is on the mountainside of Kunyue Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is Kunyue Park. There is a special driveway that leads directly to Luzu Pavilion.

The car was driving along the road, and when it was approaching Lu Zu Pavilion, it encountered a row of roadblocks.

A sign was erected behind the roadblock, which read: "There is something going on today, Lu Zuge refuses to receive guests."

On both sides of the sign, there were several little Taoist priests standing guard.

Lu Zhenren's car was in the second row, and the car at the beginning belonged to Lu Daoren. Seeing what was happening in front of him, Lu Daoren took the lead in getting out of the car to ask, while Zhang Yu and Lu Zhenren sat in the car and waited.

The two of them were also quite curious. Today seemed to be a bad day, so why did Lu Zuge refuse to receive guests?

After a short while, Mr. Lu came over. Zhenren Lu pulled down the window and asked, "What's going on?"

"Brother, the Taoist priests guarding here said that they don't know what happened. It was requested by the elders of the sect. I have reported your name and they are contacting the elders in the Taoist temple." Lu Daoren said.

"Old Master Zhou, what the hell are you doing this week?" Lu Zhenren muttered, then looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Let's get out of the car too. We are tired from sitting in the car. Let's go down and relax our muscles and bones."

"That's fine." Zhang Yu nodded.

As soon as Lu Zhenren got out of the car, all the people in the cars behind him also got out of the car one after another.

The third car was occupied by two of Lu Zhenren's uncles. The two veterans also got out of the car, looking dejected, as if someone owed them millions.

The two of them walked directly to Master Lu, and one of them said, "What on earth is going on?"

"Two uncles, I don't know what tricks Lu Zuge is playing. But no matter what, I must ask Zhou for details this time." Lu Zhenren said.

"Junior brother was suddenly killed. It's really abominable. Don't let me know who the murderer is, otherwise, I will cut him into pieces!" The old Taoist said bitterly.

Zhang Yu could tell that this veteran was very violent. He must have been a ruthless character when he was young.

At this moment, the Taoist priest blocking the road in front seemed to have finished communicating with the elders in the door and immediately removed the roadblock.

A Taoist priest said: "I would like to express my sincere greetings to all the masters of Yangchun Temple. The elders of the sect have already arrived to greet you."

After hearing this, Lu Zhenren said: "It's not far from Lu Zu Pavilion, so just leave the car here and let's go."

He took the lead to walk forward, Zhang Yu walking beside him, and there were two old Taoists and Lu Daoren nearby. Some of the remaining disciples were responsible for turning the car around, while others were following behind, like stars holding the moon.

It was not far from the mountain gate. As we were about to arrive, we saw a group of Taoist priests pouring out of Luzu Pavilion. There were quite a few of them, maybe sixty or seventy.

When the two parties meet, they must be polite. On the Lu Zuge side, headed by three masters, Gao Laodao, Di Laodao, Haidao Ren, and Zhou Zhenren's junior fellow apprentices also came out to greet him, but Zhou Zhenren was nowhere to be seen.

After some polite greetings, Master Lu said, "Why don't you see fellow Taoist Zhou?"

"This..." Taoist Haidao looked at Master Gao Laodao.

Gao Laodao is Zhou Zhenren's uncle and the highest-ranking master in Lu Zu Pavilion. He frowned slightly, hesitated and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, this is not the place to talk. Let's go in and talk."

"Okay." Master Lu nodded.

Gao Laodao made an invitation gesture and invited Lu Zhenren and his entourage to Lu Zu Pavilion.

Zhang Yu walked next to Lu Zhenren, very suspicious in his heart. What was going on? He came to find Zhou Laodao. Zhou Laodao was nowhere to be seen. There must be no accident.

Gao Laodao led everyone to the back of Lu Zu Pavilion, passed through several courtyards, and came to a small courtyard.

Zhang Yu didn't know where this place was, but Zhenren Lu had been here before and knew that this was the residence of the abbot of Lu Zuge, where Zhenren Zhou lived.

Entering the courtyard, Gao Laodao turned around and said gently: "Junior Brother Di, Junior Brother Hai, you two come in with me, the others will stay outside for now."

These two great masters also walked in.

Master Lu naturally understood, turned around and said, "Two senior uncles, junior brother Lu, and fellow Daoist Zhang, just the few of us can go in. The rest of us should stay outside."

A total of eight of them entered the courtyard. Gao Laodao was actually very puzzled as to why Master Lu suddenly came here today, and he came with Zhang Yu, who was not a Taoist temple.

But he didn't ask any more questions and directly invited everyone into the abbot's room inside.

As soon as you enter the main room, everything is normal. There are rooms on both sides. I think one is a quiet room and the other is a bedroom.

Gao Laodao brought people into the bedroom. The bedroom looked a bit messy, and it could be seen that it had been rummaged through.

The back window was open and no one was inside.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhenren looked around and asked curiously.

"This is what happened to Fellow Daoist Lu. This morning, the disciples of the abbot's nephew came to deliver morning tea as usual, but after knocking on the door for a long time, they could not see any movement inside. The disciple was worried that something was wrong, so he went to greet others and came to the abbot's room together. The door was opened. Unexpectedly, I found that the abbot's nephew was gone, and the room looked like this." Gao Laodao said with a frown.

"This place seems to be visited by thieves. Fellow Daoist Zhou...could it be that he was taken away..." Zhang Yu said with some doubts.

"We don't know whether the abbot is alive or dead. We were just studying how to deal with it. We also planned to inform Yangchun Guan of the news and ask Zhenren Lu for help in finding the abbot... Unexpectedly, Zhenren Lu came uninvited..." Gao The old Taoist shook his head and sighed.

Master Lu nodded slightly and said, "I came here today to discuss something with fellow Taoist Zhou, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen... I wonder if anyone heard anything last night?"

When he said he was here to discuss things, Gao Laodao obviously didn't believe him. If he wanted to discuss things, he could just bring a few people over. There was no need to mobilize troops like this. Looking at this sign, it looks like an attack on the enemy.

Of course, Gao Laodao was not in the mood to ask this question for the time being, but said: "I have already asked the disciple in charge of duty, and I didn't hear any sound at all. There are many people living in the backyard, and I am not far away. But I didn’t hear any movement.”

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is not weak in cultivation. If it is said that someone has plotted against him, it may be possible. But everyone is gone... This is really evil..." At this point, Lu Zhenren tightened his nose, as if he wanted to smell something. smell.

Zhang Yu naturally understood what he meant. He wanted to smell the smell of fire talisman in the room. The powerful fire talisman can directly burn people to ashes. Zhang Yu has done it more than once.

Zhang Yu also smelled it, and as soon as he smelled it, he immediately smelled a faint smell of talisman ash. In addition to the smell of talisman ash, there was also a faint smell of ashes.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart tightened. Could it be that Master Zhou had been burned to death and his body destroyed.
