died? Lu Gang was stunned and asked, "What's the conflict between you and him?" "That's right." Liang Qu briefly explained what happened in the martial arts gym, "So I want to see what's going on." Lu Gang shook his head and put down Chihuo Miaoyu: "Then it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Let me go with you." Just kidding, if Lu Shaohui, a two-level martial artist, was killed or had his internal organs eaten, it was most likely caused by a spirit. Who knows if there are spirits or monsters lurking nearby, and all the things that have become spirits are full of energy. Liang Qu was embarrassed to bother Lu Gang with such a trivial matter. The matter was so big, the area must have been checked, but then he thought about it, just in case, so he had to help his senior brother again. "Wait me a moment." Lu Gang turned around and walked out of the quiet room. When he came back, he had a few more black stones in his hand. The black stone was placed next to Akabane, and it quickly changed color when stimulated by heat. The surface was gradually covered with blood vessel-like dark red lines, which complemented Akabane, like several beating hearts.
"Put the fire red stone and fine charcoal stone aside. Chi Huo Yuyu's energy will not decrease in a short period of time, but will increase. Let's go." The two started from the path next to Huang's cloth shop and walked to a certain section of the road. Next to it was a flat dirt path. Although there was dead grass, it was out of tune with the surroundings because there were no trees. It was easy to tell that this was originally a road. . "Fahua Temple has been abandoned for decades. I remember that all the monks in it were killed at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Pingyang Town was still a small village at that time. I don't remember the specific location, but it should be here. The footprints on the ground are all fresh. , The shoes are not bad, he should be from the government." Lu Gang lowered his head and glanced. The ground is hard in winter, but it just rained the night before, so the ground is soft and wet, and the footprints left behind are very obvious. Fahua Temple has been abandoned for a long time. It is far away from the town. It is located near the top of the mountain. There are few beggars there. So many footprints appeared in a short period of time. They can only be exploration agents. Lu Gang took the lead: "Let's go, follow me, be careful." Lu Gang was tall and tall, and he felt a sense of security walking behind him. Stepping on the soft loess, Liang Qu looked around. The woods around him were very lush. Although there were not many leaves, he could imagine the depth here in summer. After walking a few hundred meters, my eyes suddenly opened up. When I raised my head, I could see the Fahua Temple on the top of the mountain. The vermilion exterior wall of the temple has completely peeled off, revealing a gray wall. Year-round wind and rain have turned the gray color black, and the corners are covered with dark green moss. Slender, dry tree vines spread out from a corner of the roof and took root deeply in the cracks of the tiles, like a parasitic tree growing by absorbing nutrients from the earthen walls. Will Shao Lu die here? Why is it here, so remote? Liang Qu couldn't understand. Could it be that the monster dragged him here after killing him? Otherwise, why would Young Master Lu come to this ruined temple? As I got closer, the lintel of the door collapsed completely, exposing the broken bricks inside. The little official on guard duty didn't dare to scold Lu Gang when he saw Lu Gang's burly appearance. He just said that no idlers should be allowed in! Lu Gang took off his badge from his waist and glanced at it: "Personally from Yang Dongxiong, Lu Gang, do you know me?" "It turns out to be Mr. Lu! Please come in." The clerk bent down and invited the two people to come in. He didn't know Lu Gang, but the waistband was extremely exquisite. Whether it was true or false, he was not an ordinary person.
The petty officials who came in and out on both sides bowed and said hello, without any arrogance or domineering attitude. They seemed to be two different groups from those seen during the autumn tax season. Liang Qu, who was following Lu Gang, felt his eyes wide open and touched his waist badge eager to try. Unfortunately, the clerks were very respectful after entering and could not find any use for it. Not only the lintels, but also the gate inside Fahua Temple were completely rotten. When Liang Qu entered the courtyard, he saw the body in the middle at a glance. Lu Shaohui died at the feet of the Buddha, with his body leaning on the carved Sumeru throne. Thick black blood was tied into threads from the ends of his hair, and his entire chest was completely torn open, like two crumbling doors. No, I should say it looks like a cicada sloughing off. It was as if Lu Shaohui's chest, liver, spleen, and lungs all had a life of their own. They hatched from his body and burst out of his body, and an astonishing evil energy rushed towards his face. Lu Gang frowned. Liang Qu felt a little disgusted and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, can you tell what kind of monster it is?" The man with a hat in front of the body and a rattan box on his back stood up quickly when he saw this: "Can this gentleman see it? Mr. Lu, don't worry, we haven't done anything to the body from the discovery to the present. What it was like before is what it is now." Sample." He could do an autopsy, but what he saw before him was beyond the scope of his experience. He had never seen anything like this before. The internal organs didn't look like they had been dug out, they were too clean. "It's a mountain ghost." A familiar voice came from behind Liang Qu, and the two of them turned to look. "Senior Brother Hu?" "Junior Brother Hu, why are you here?" "The people from the yamen said that Wu Zuo couldn't determine the cause of death, so they sent someone to the martial arts school to ask me for help. I thought that Mr. Lu was from the martial arts school and I had to come and have a look. But when I arrived at the door, someone said that someone from the martial arts school had already arrived. Now, I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Senior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Liang. Oh, let me introduce you, the leader of the fast class, Shi Guangxi." Hu Qi strode forward, followed by a rough man with a beard. Shi Guangxi, a rough man, quickly handed over his hand: "Hello, gentlemen." Lu Gang nodded, and Liang Qu followed suit. After the class leader Shi Guangxi said hello, he looked at Hu Qi and asked eagerly: "Master Hu, you just said it was a mountain ghost? Is it a monster?" Hu Qi did not answer, but looked at Lu Gang: "What do you think, Senior Brother Lu?" "It should be right." "What is a mountain ghost?" Liang Qu felt that he wanted to find an opportunity to supplement some knowledge. Lu Gang said: "A kind of mountain spirit that looks like a human. Its skin is as brown as a dead tree. It is difficult to penetrate with weapons and guns. It likes to eat livestock at first. When it grows up, it likes to eat human organs. When it reaches adulthood, it will lay eggs in human bodies and wait for the eggs. When the bag is hatched, a person's chest will be as open as it is now. Junior Brother Liang, there is no need to worry. Master has already arranged the school. What we study is different from ordinary scholars. When the time comes, we will understand everything we need to know. " Liang Qu felt relieved. Hu Qi walked around the area and looked solemn when he came back: "If this is the place of death, then this mountain ghost is very powerful. Master Lu will be a second-level warrior. He can open monuments and crack rocks. There are not many fights nearby. It is very likely that he will die in one encounter, and the eggs of the mountain ghost hatch very quickly, but it will take at least two days. " Liang Qu was shocked: "So he really died the same day after leaving the martial arts gym?"
Hu Qi nodded: "That's basically it." Lu Gang said: "It's best to tell Master first and let Master make arrangements. He is a great threat to ordinary warriors." Shi Guangxi, who was standing by, was frightened when he heard that: "What about ordinary people? Aren't they even worse?" Hu Qi shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. Mountain ghosts like food with strong energy and blood. Mountain ghosts with such strength are not much of a threat to ordinary people." Shi Guangxi breathed a sigh of relief, but he picked it up again the next second. "But this mountain ghost hatched a little mountain ghost. It's not necessarily a small mountain ghost. It would be better for Shi Bantou to send more people to patrol in the past few days." "Yes, yes, but Master Martial Arts Master, please help us more. How can we ordinary people deal with those mountain spirits and ghosts? When I go back and report to the county magistrate, I will definitely offer a large reward, and I will not treat you badly." "Don't worry, we will definitely pay attention. It would be best if we can solve it, but what about the people in your yamen?" "Hey, don't mention it." Shi Guangxi frowned, "I don't know why, but the warriors in the yamen seem to have missions recently, and I can't see any of them." Hu Qi was thoughtful. Seeing that someone was handling it, Lu Gang was about to go back: "Junior brother Hu is here, so I will go back first. Junior brother Liang brought back a red fire mourning feather. It must be refined quickly, otherwise there will be losses." Hu Qi was surprised: "Red Fire Mourning Yu? Where did it come from?" Helpless, Liang Qu told the whole process of picking up the feather again. Hu Qi was quite envious: "Junior Brother Liang's luck is extraordinary, but with your current strength, it is indeed the best choice to activate Chihuo Miaoyu to refine weapons at once. After all, spiritual weapons are hard to find, so you should go back first. Shi Pan and I will go take a look around." Lu Gang nodded. He said it in front of Hu Qi, just to let Liang Qu know that he did not suggest this because he wanted to build a spiritual weapon.
