Chapter 266
Big bed, soft quilt.

Lu Tong has not slept so comfortably for a long time.

In the swamp, slept every day on stones;

After returning to the sect, I went to bed the first night but didn't sleep much, and spent the rest of the day practicing and taking naps at the break.

Comfortable, sleep soundly.

I fell asleep and didn't want to wake up.

In the early morning, a series of hasty knocks on the door came to my ears.

Lu Tong was awakened with a start, and a nameless anger gushed out of his chest.

"Who!"

"Princess Lu, don't take the liberty to disturb me. Something happened in the mansion, the fourth young master... the fourth young master was assassinated!"

"what?"

He sat up abruptly, strode over, and opened the door.

"Zu Wanping is dead?"

Zu Wu's eyes were bloodshot, his face was very haggard, he nodded and said: "I just found out not long ago, madam, please go over here."

He returned to the room, straightened his robes, washed up a bit, and went out, "Lead the way."

The ancestral mansion occupies a large area, and many black iron trees are planted in the back garden.

In the depths, there is a huge black tree tens of feet high.

Lu Tong walked over quickly.

Zu Wanping's body was placed on the ground, his eyes were closed, his lips were slightly opened, and a large pool of blood remained on his chest.

Even in death, there is still a sharp air between the brows.

"Princess Lu."

A slightly older middle-aged woman asked with red eyes: "I heard that Ping'er went to meet Xianchang last night. May I ask what happened?"

He frowned, and turned to look at Zu Wu.

"Who is this?"

"My wife is also the biological mother of the Fourth Young Master."

Lu Tong nodded slightly, and said: "Mrs. Zu, the steward Zu brought Zu Wanping over to meet with him last night. We made an appointment to kill ghosts together in the future. I will let him be ready at any time."

"and then?"

"Then Steward Zu and Zu Wanping leave together. Madam can ask Steward Zu."

Zu Wu bowed his body.

"Go back to Madam, just as Master Lu said. After leaving, the young master went back to his room to rest, and I went to distribute food outside the house. I was busy until this morning and didn't come back."

Mrs. Zu looked sad and looked down at the corpse on the ground.

After a while, an old monk with slender eyes was brought by the servant.

Mrs. Zu greeted her immediately and said, "Old Qin, it's been hard work."

Elder Qin nodded slightly, walked to the corpse and squatted down, stretched out his long and thin fingers and shot out mana one after another.

"The time of the murder, four to four and a half hours ago."

"A mortal wound, right in the middle of the mouth."

"The wound is round, thin on the inside and thick on the outside, like an iron cone or a thin spear. It may also be a special fingering."

"The eyes are relaxed and the muscles are relaxed. It may be a sudden death, or he was killed in his sleep."

"There were no other injuries, and no hands were touched before death."

After talking for a long time, Mr. Qin stretched out a finger, dipped it in some blood and put it in his mouth.

Stand up slowly after a while.

Mrs. Zu immediately asked: "Old Qin, how are you doing?"

Elder Qin took out a white silk scarf to wipe his fingers, shook his head and said, "The loss of blood and flesh in the heart may be related to evil methods."

Madam Zu's complexion changed instantly, she looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on Lu Tong.

The caravan entered the city yesterday.

A lot of strangers came to the ancestral mansion, but there are not many who can be called masters and can easily kill Zu Wanping.

There is only one person related to Zu Wanping.

"Lu Xianchang, after Ping'er left last night, where have you been?"

His expression didn't change.

What a coincidence.

It's normal to be suspicious.

Just explain clearly, if you can't explain clearly, make another plan.

"It was hard to fight the fog ghosts yesterday. After they left, I went to bed and rested very quickly, without leaving the room."

"Is there anyone else to testify?"

Lu Tong looked around and said, "If there is a guard outside the room, you can testify."

Mrs. Zu ordered someone to summon the night watchman.

People came one after another.

Yue Shenyu also brought two maids.

Glancing at the corpse and the surrounding monks, he noticed that several people were staring at Lu Tong, and couldn't help but look slightly cold.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Lu Tong showed a wry smile on his face, pointed to the dead body on the ground, and said, "The fourth young master of the Zu family, Zu Wanping, was the helper introduced by the supervisor last night."

Yue Shenyu's expression froze, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

……

The news of Zu Wanping's murder spread, causing a storm inside and outside the Zu family.

But it has nothing to do with Lu Tong.

The night watch boy slept late and was unable to testify.

When Mrs. Zu was doubting, Master Zu sent back a password "it has nothing to do with the arrest of Qi Sect disciples", allowing him to get out of the matter.

Near noon.

Lu Tong and Yue Shenyu had dinner together.

There are not many dishes on the table.

There are only two meat, two vegetarian, and one soup.

But now Aoshan City is very short of food, and a meal has meat and vegetables, which is already very rich.

Yue Shenyu took a few sips and said with a smile: "The time is right and the strength is right. Fortunately, the murderer didn't use a knife, otherwise the younger brother will really be involved."

He picked up a wire silkworm, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it hard.

"Don't kill early, don't kill late, but killed last night, like pouring dirty water on me."

After speaking, he took another piece of copper plate to bake the meat.

Yue Shenyu put down his chopsticks.

Behind him, the maid brought from the sect immediately served tea.

"Nine out of ten, it's related to the mine competition."

Lu Tong tore off a large piece of meat and bit it in his mouth.

"Ok?"

"The ancestral family occupies a lot of mine veins, and I don't know how many enemies they have made. Recently, the patriarch of the ancestral family is not in the mansion, and it is the time for revenge."

He chewed the meat hard while thinking.

Zu Mingjing, the patriarch of the ancestral family, is guarding the ancestral mine vein on the left side of the mountain.Other golden core monks are also scattered outside the city and on the mountains.

It is indeed a rare opportunity for revenge.

Swallow the piece of meat, pick up the anti-greasy strong tea, and drink half a cup in one gulp.

Lu Tong put aside the chores and asked, "Senior Sister, when are you going to kill ghosts?"

"Immediately. At noon, senior brother and other great monks went into the fog together to find and kill the Golden Core Realm Fog Ghost. We have a stick of incense before we can do it."

"Only a stick of incense?"

Lu Tong put down his teacup and sighed, "It's a pity that Zu Wanping died, otherwise there would be another helper."

"It's okay, the two of us are enough."

When the two were talking.

Zu Wu came in with a broken eyebrow cultivator, and said, "Immortal Elder, please excuse me."

Luton turned around.

"Master Zu, who is this?"

"Brother Sun, leader Sun, used to escort the goods for the caravan. The young master had an accident, and leader Sun assisted the immortal leader in killing ghosts."

Sun Hao cupped his hands and said: "Sun Hao of Dangchen Sword Gate, I have met two immortal elders!"

He looked up and down.

He is not tall, but his arms are very long, and his left arm is about three inches longer than his right arm.

A person with a strange appearance has a lot of abilities.

"What kind of method is Chief Sun good at?"

Sun Hao took out a black-ridged long sword.

Holding the sword in his left hand, he stabbed casually, the body of the sword trembled and made a "buzzing" sound, and the tip of the sword trembled up and down a foot.

Lu Tong looked slightly happy, nodded and said: "Yes, Chief Sun will take a rest, we will set off in a while."

"Yes."

At noon, the sun should have been shining brightly.

But the gray mist surged up to cover the sky and the sun, and when I looked up, I could only see a gray area.

"Eight-legged elephants, nine-headed dragons, and zombies, come out!"

The shouts of Jindan monks spread throughout the city and outside the city.

Lu Tong and Yue Shenyu looked at each other

"go!"

The two rose into the air.

Behind, four wind monkeys, Hao Sun, and an ancestral female cultivator followed closely behind.
