When Zhang Yuguan opened the door, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Countless delicate red petals undulated with the wind, and the strong fragrance rushed out from the open door. He seemed to be floating in the sea of flowers, both mentally and physically, swaying with the beauty of the whole building.
But the next moment, a burst of coldness penetrated his body, and his whole body was surging, and cold sweat broke out outside his body. If he hadn't just experienced the almost possessed state, he would have been dragged into the illusion again at this moment.
"The fragrance of this flower can actually make you lose your mind!"
he said in surprise.
Then he quickly closed his eyes, recited the Bing Xin Jue silently, and slowly calmed down his swaying mind.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt chilled when he saw all the flowers on the floor.
"If I hadn't been practicing profoundly at this moment and had the blessing of a golden body, I might have been able to escape my fate in just this moment."
This was really unbelievable to him. These flowers were simply much scarier than the most powerful drugs in the world.
You must know that according to the classification of warriors in the world, he is definitely not inferior to the great master. But with his Taoist skills, without using the Bingxin Jue, he almost lost his mind in just one encounter.
"Could this be the reason why those people are here?"
he said to himself.
At this moment, something suddenly jumped out of his mind, and he lost his voice.
"Zhoujiacun!"
Yes, it is Zhoujia Village, the open space in Zhoujia Village!
"Could it be that that land was originally used to grow such evil flowers?"
Then he stood in the sea of flowers and carefully observed the bottoms of the flowers. Sure enough, he found that these flowers had been transplanted here.
He slowly walked out of the attic and carefully observed the two wooden doors. He was surprised to find that on the dust-covered wooden doors, apart from the fingerprints he had just left, there were only fingerprints left by another person, that is, He said that this place had only been opened once before he came here.
"This flower is so evil. If the person who hid the flower came here only once, and it has not seen the sun for so long, and no one cares about it, it is still alive and well."
Then, another picture came to his mind, and he suddenly said
"By the way, that team!"
Just when he had a splitting headache, a picture appeared in his mind. A group of people escorted several cars to Liangzhou, and there was clearly dry and cracked soil falling next to the cars.
At this moment he probably guessed what the car was carrying.
"The things on the car don't look heavy. I'm afraid it's probably just these flowers."
"Since these flowers have the effect of deceiving people's minds, those who give these things will naturally not use them for the right purpose."
Immediately, he figured out many things
"This flower was originally planted in Zhoujia Village, but now it has been dug out and hidden here. This can only mean that they do not want others to discover these flowers."
"No! To be precise, I don't want to be discovered by Chang An!"
"Could it be that all the people in Zhoujia Village died because of these flowers?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuguan couldn't help but clenched his fists, and actually regretted letting those men in black go.
"Bang!"
He punched the wooden door, and his overbearing punch directly shattered the wooden door into pieces.
"In that case, let me charge some interest from you first!"
A quarter of an hour later, billowing smoke rose into the sky from Gu's residence, and a terrifying fire shot into the sky. The fire illuminated half of the sky and even woke up some people nearby.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
On several streets around Gu's residence, the watchman passing by at the watch desk saw the fire in Gu's residence and beat the gong in a panic while shouting.
It was late at night, and the street was silent. This voice suddenly woke up many nearby houses. When everyone saw that it was Gu Mansion, they were all surprised, but without thinking, every household picked up tools to put out the fire.
At this moment, Zhang Yuguan's fat face was flushed red by the firelight. His eyes were cold, and he slowly picked up the master's body and left the Gu Mansion.
Maybe the Gu Mansion was full of wooden buildings, or maybe Zhang Yuguan himself didn't expect that the fire he set burned through almost half of the Quasi-Emperor's Mansion.
Three hours later, it was dawn, and with the efforts of everyone, the fire was finally put out, and the surroundings of Gu's mansion were already filled with officers and soldiers.
This incident even alarmed the new city lord of Buxue State, Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan looked angrily at the Gu Mansion that was almost burnt to coke.
"Call that guy over here!"
After a while, the watchman who was the first to notice that Gu's house was on fire came over obediently.
"Lord City Lord."
Zhao Xuan looked at him with a very ugly expression.
"Did you ever see who set the fire?"
The watchman looked innocent and begged for mercy.
"Sir, I'm just a watcher. I don't know anything..."
However, he saw that the watchman seemed to be frightened and kept begging for mercy. Zhao Xuan was tired of him, so he waved his hand and let him go.
After the watchman left, Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Mansion and sighed.
"How could the quasi-emperor's palace become like this..."
He shook his head and left slowly.
But the watchman walked around the corner and disappeared from everyone's sight. The watchman walked along the wall of Gu's mansion for a while.
After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he smiled slightly, jumped up, and easily climbed over the courtyard wall that was more than a foot high.
He entered the courtyard wall from the back of the Gu Mansion and found the most severely burned attic. The pungent burnt smell assaulted his nostrils. The watchman frowned and covered his nose.
The windows made of paper had been burned cleanly, and with just one glance, the situation in the attic could be seen clearly.
The watchman slowly walked to the attic and saw that the building was full of burnt black ash, and some were even floating in the air.
The watchman's face hardened and he said to himself
"Did you ever sleep peacefully when you dreamed about it at midnight? Just like that, did you want to deceive me?"
After saying this, the watchman sighed, left the yard, and continued to go elsewhere.
The watchman's figure was like a rabbit rising and a falcon falling, quickly moving around the Gu Mansion. Half an hour later, his figure landed in a garden.
The garden had been burned to ashes, and even the walls of the courtyard were completely black.
He stopped here because a dazzling light accidentally hit his eyes. The watchman looked solemn. In the garden, the original green grass was already scorched black. In the center of the green grass was a large pond. At this moment, the pond was On the top, there are some black embellishments floating quietly on it.
Next to the pond is a burnt willow tree and a tall rockery.
And that dazzling light came from this rockery.
At this moment, the rockery is already completely black, with only sporadic extrusions, and some of the original cyan color can be vaguely discerned.
But among the large areas of darkness, there was a tiny bit of golden light shining through, revealing the darkness.
The watchman's eyes trembled. He reached out and touched the small piece of golden color, but accidentally peeled off another piece of the charred black around it, and another piece of golden color appeared in front of his eyes.
His pupils were glowing, and he stared at the entire rockery. After a moment, he slowly shook his head.
"Too little, wrong."
Then his eyes changed, as if he thought of something again, and said to himself
"Is it also available elsewhere?"
But he shook his head again, denying his guess.
"No, this is too troublesome and too easy to be discovered."
The watchman sat down slowly and looked at the rockery and thought hard for a long time.
After a long time, he still seemed to have no clue, but it happened that at this time
"Plop!"
In the pond next to it, a fish jumped out of the water, startling the frowning watchman. The watchman looked towards the pond unconsciously, and then extended his gaze to the charred willow tree beside the pond. He saw that although the willow tree was completely burnt, , but because part of the roots penetrated into the soil, and that part of the soil was covered by the water in the pond on the side, it actually escaped the fire.
A bright light appeared in the watchman's eyes, and then his eyes widened, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.
"So that's it."
With a splash, he jumped directly into the pond.
…………
After spending the night in Gu's Mansion, today was June 6th. Zhang Yuguan carried his master's body and rushed back to Huangye Village as quickly as possible.
"Fat Zhang, where did you go and why did you come back with someone on your back?"
Madam Liu looked at Zhang Yuguan running back and cursed.
Zhang Yuguan suddenly remembered that Chen Qizi went to Zhoujiacun to look for him yesterday because Mr. Nalu was looking for him.
He frowned
"What's wrong?"
Lady Liu said
"Mr. Lu has been looking for you for a long time, but he hasn't seen you. Chen Zizi said he went to Zhoujia Village to look for you. But this morning, Chen Zizi died there, and you were nowhere to be found in the village. Everyone thought you were killed by that person. The wall-grooper captured him."
Zhang Yuguan looked gloomy and said
"Zhoujia Village is so evil, how dare you go there?"
Lady Liu said
"Where do we dare to go? It's not until Mr. Nalu goes to find you personally."
Zhang Yuguan sneered and said lightly
"Mr. Lu is very courageous."
Without waiting for Madam Liu to speak, Zhang Yuguan walked straight back to his house.
"Eh!"
Madam Liu was about to say something, but when she saw Zhang Yuguan left directly, she became angry and cursed in a low voice.
"Stupid guy, just let you die."
Zhang Yuguan's expression changed when he walked to the house. With his behavior at this time, he could easily detect the sound of breathing behind the door!
Moreover, the person behind the door was still very nervous, so his breathing was a little rapid, which caused the air flow from the crack in the door to be obviously different from the outside.
This slight change was clearly visible in Zhang Yuguan's eyes at this moment.
He looked at the village behind him again and found that the village was particularly peaceful today. He walked from the village entrance to his home, but only saw the Liu family's wife. He remembered what the Liu family's wife had just said, and he suddenly understood.
"Bang!"
He pushed open the wooden door and just stepped into the house, when a large net came in front of him, and Zhang Yuguan was trapped in it by several people.
Zhang Yuguan was carrying his master and was trapped in the net, but his expression was very calm. He looked at the people surrounding him and smiled slowly.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Zhang Yuguan surrounded, behind everyone, the village chief slowly walked out, and beside him, there was Mr. Lu from the city.
The village chief shook his head and sighed
"Zhang Yuguan, do you still dare to come back?"
Zhang Yuguan looked at Mr. Lu coldly and said
"Village chief, why don't I dare to come back?"
Seeing that Zhang Yuguan was still pretending to be dumbfounded, the village chief suddenly became angry and pointed at him and cursed.
"What are you pretending to be like? Then yesterday Chen Cripple went to Zhoujiacun to look for you. But today Mr. Lu went to find you and found that Chen Cripple was dead. How do you explain it?"
Zhang Yuguan looked at the surrounding villagers, who all looked at him with angry expressions. He immediately understood that it would be difficult to convince them.
"If I said that it was Xiaocui's puppet that killed Chen Laizi, would you believe it?"
"Pooh!"
Da Zhuang spat on Zhang Yuguan's face, and Zhang Yuguan closed his eyes.
"There has been no one in Zhoujia Village for a long time. Yesterday there were only two people in the whole village, you and Chen Laizi. Today Chen Laizi died, but you came back fine. Now you are still talking nonsense about puppets killing people. You think everyone is the same. Fool?"
The village chief looked distressed and pointed at Zhang Yuguan tremblingly.
"Fat Zhang, since you came to the village, please tell your conscience, everyone has treated you well, why did you kill Chen Cripple?"
Mr. Lu on the side looked serious, looked at Zhang Yuguan and said
"I suspect that Liu Laosan's death has something to do with Daozhang Zhang."
Zhang Yuguan had murderous intent in his eyes, his face elongated, and he stared at Mr. Lu. In his eyes, Mr. Lu was already a dead man.
Mr. Lu seemed to turn a blind eye and continued.
"You might as well think about it, since Liu Laosan went to Zhoujia Village, he talked nonsense about ghosts touching the wall all day long, and fell to death not long after. This Taoist Zhang also went to Zhoujia Village. Jiacun, although he was also talking about wall-touching ghosts, this time, it was not him who died, but Chen Cripple."
Mr. Lu walked up to Zhang Yuguan, stared at him and said
"I heard from the villagers that when you came back from Zhoujia Village the day before yesterday, you were talking about the Ghost on the Wall. Today you said that it was a puppet that killed Chen Cripple. If there really is a Ghost on the Wall, then Liu Laosan is the one who was killed by the Ghost on the Wall. Kill, then it was you who died yesterday, not Chen Laizi?"
"What's your explanation?"
"By the way, before Liu Laosan died, Fatty Zhang made a prediction for him, saying that he would be in danger of a bloody disaster. How could it be such a coincidence that he died not long after the calculation? Isn't it possible to marry Liu Laosan's death? Is it because of some kind of wall-crawler?"
Da Zhuang suddenly echoed, and at this moment the villagers seemed to suddenly realize it, and they all said
"Yes, I remember this. It happened."
"I remember it too."
"I remember it too."
…
Zhang Yuguan sneered, gritted his teeth and said
"How can I control who the ghost wants to kill? Besides, why should I kill Chen Cripple and Liu Laosan?"
"wrong!"
Mr. Lu interrupted him
"Of course there are reasons, Zhoujiacun."
The village chief and all the villagers looked confused, looked at Mr. Lu and asked
"What does it have to do with Zhoujiacun?"
Mr. Lu said
"Of course it has something to do with it. Liu Laosan went to Zhoujia Village and died, and Chen Zizi died directly in Zhoujia Village. Like Taoist Zhang, they both went to Zhoujia Village, but why is it that only Taoist Zhang is alive and well? Now?"
"There is only one answer. Those two people must have discovered Zhang Daozhang's secret in Zhoujia Village, and then they were killed and silenced by Zhang Daozhang."
