Chapter 21 The Lord of Winter Lake [Please read]

Cai House.

The kid was sitting on his hair with his legs crossed, telling Xu Changsheng the clues he heard last night.

"The man killed by the Chai family and his son was a messenger sent by the Lord of Cold Winter Lake to deliver a message to the fat monk."

"Don't ask me who the Master of Lake Winter and the Fat Monk are, I don't even know."

"Because the Master of Winter Lake didn't receive a reply for a long time, he sent two more people here, the same two we met."

"From what they said, that letter seemed important."

Xu Changsheng was flipping through "The Art of Thorn Armor". He had just experienced Chi Zesheng's change once, and he didn't want to experience it a second time.

"Hey, Xu Sheng, do you think that since the letter sent by the Master of Cold Winter Lake is so important, why did he only find an ordinary messenger to deliver the letter?"

The kid discovered the first suspicion.

Xu Changsheng happened to finish reading the first time, closed the book gently, and said, "If the Chai family hadn't killed the messenger, you would have known that the messenger sent a secret letter."

"Oh, you mean, since we can't think of it, others can't think of it, right?"

"This is why the most dangerous place is actually the safest."

"I didn't expect that the messenger would meet these two stupid young men, the Chai family and his son."

The kid laughed heartily.

Xu Changsheng suddenly said: "That's how things are in the world. Although you met the messenger, you didn't know how important a secret message he carried with him."

"Just like when you take a quick glance on the street and pass by a stranger, it may be the person that others want to see in their dreams."

"Are you right? Brother Hu?"

The kid's laughter stopped suddenly, and he was about to find a place to hide, but then he thought again, since the fox could reach here, he must have discovered him long ago.

It was not surprising that Hu Beizhi was discovered, but his voice sounded like he was forcing a smile.

"Brother Xu was joking."

"Since you're here, why don't you talk to me face to face?"

Xu Changsheng was not surprised that Hu Beizhi would come to his door. The messenger was killed by the Chai family and his son on their way back from Miliang Town.

Miliang Town and Pingsha Mountain are both in the east of Guobei County.

So when Xu Changsheng went out in the early morning, he actually passed under the nose of the fox.

"There's no need to meet. Xiaohu is just curious about what happened that made Brother Xu, who is always cautious, go out of the city overnight."

"Then now that I have seen you, why is Beizhi still here?"

The fox didn't answer in a hurry. Of course, he didn't leave either. He just stayed silent for several breaths before saying:

"I once heard from several qigong practitioners who stayed overnight in the mountain temple that the Master of Cold Winter Lake and the Fat Monk are both famous wild cultivators in the north of our Jinhua Mansion."

"The strength is at least in the late stage of Qi Condensation. You... can take care of yourself."

After saying that, the fox squatting outside the wall walked away.

"At least it's the late stage of Qi Condensation... This is a bit difficult to handle, Xu Sheng. If I find you, you won't even have a chance to resist."

The kid looked worried and turned around on the table anxiously.

Xu Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Who killed the messenger, and who did I kill? Kid, have you thought clearly?"

"right."

The kid was about to suddenly realize it, but then he thought: "Didn't you kill two people last night? Those two were also the men of the Lord of Winter Lake."

Xu Changsheng looked at the "Spin Armor Technique" on the table and said softly: "It depends on fate."

"It's just... kid, you really didn't see the Chai family and his son finding the secret message on the messenger?"

The kid was anxious, "That's not true. It's not like you, the Chai family father and son, don't know any virtues. They just used corpses as fertilizer. How could you let go of something like a secret letter?"

Xu Changsheng thought for a while, and suddenly understood something, and said with a smile: "Maybe the messenger was not prepared to deliver the letter in the first place?"

……

"He didn't deliver the letter."

Shanyin County.

In an ordinary house, a middle-aged man wearing a long white coat in the summer casually took out a piece of white paper from the crack in the wall.

A thin old man with a goatee behind him quickly bowed, "The lake owner means..."

"It's not interesting. I will check the island thoroughly."

"Old Mo, I would like to trouble you to go to Guobei County to find out who is causing trouble in our Winter Lake." "Follow the order of the Lord of the Lake."

Lao Mo couldn't stand up until the owner of Winter Lake left.

He straightened up, looked at the crack in the wall where the note had been stuffed, and then looked outside the door.

It seems to be measuring.

……

One night ten days later.

Cai House.

In a dark room deep underground, Xu Changsheng made a hand seal with his left hand and muttered something silently. In an instant, half of the spiritual energy in his Dantian was empty.

What followed was a shadow of vines, covering his whole body tightly.

After three breaths, the shadow collapsed, and Xu Changsheng gasped slightly.

"Xu Sheng, you are so amazing. Among all the Qi practitioners I have ever seen, your talent is the highest!"

The kid praised shamelessly.

Xu Changsheng couldn't help but asked: "How many Qi Practitioners have you seen in total? Don't tell me I'm the only one."

The kid tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Does the fox count?"

Xu Changsheng didn't want to talk anymore. He wanted to get out of the hole he had just dug.

The kid took the opportunity to pounce on his hair, "By the way, Xu Sheng, your second uncle has been here looking for you for two days in a row. I don't know what happened."

Xu Changsheng, who was climbing the stairs, stopped.

"Second uncle? Why don't you call me?!"

"You didn't tell me last time not to call you while you were practicing, or you would go crazy and explode to death." The ghost in the ear complained.

Xu Changsheng had a black streak in his head. It was impossible to reason with ghosts. He got out of the hole on his hands and feet.

The second uncle came here twice in a row. There must be something urgent.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly cleaned himself up, opened the door, and prepared to go to Qingmei Street.

But as soon as he opened the door, he found two detectives wearing water and fire robes walking back and forth in front of his house.

When one of them saw him opening the door, he immediately walked over with a water and fire stick and strode over.

"Second uncle, what's wrong?"

Xu Kai glared and said, "You bastard, you didn't open the door for two days in a row. I almost thought you were dead."

Xu Changsheng said awkwardly: "I haven't been feeling well these past two days and have been resting in bed."

Xu Kai saw that the circles under his eyes were a little dark, and he really looked depressed. His heart softened, and he couldn't say much. He immediately pulled him, walked aside, and whispered:

"Have you heard about what's going on in the city these days?"

"what's up?"

Xu Changsheng has been hiding underground these past few days, thinking about the "Spin Armor Technique", and he really hasn't paid attention to things outside.

"The city is haunted."

"Haunted?"

Xu Changsheng was about to say, isn't this normal?There is a ghost hiding in my hair now.

Xu Kai then said: "These days, at least dozens of people have died in the city because of the haunting."

"So many?" Xu Changsheng asked in surprise.

"Yes." Xu Kai nodded heavily, "Everyone who died was without exception. They all hanged themselves and died. The appearance was extremely horrifying."

"Now the county magistrate has reported to the state capital and requested to send an immortal master."

After hearing this, Xu Changsheng was a little suspicious and a little unbelievable.

Hang yourself?

Is it possible that the old Taoist priest got the ghost painting and didn't leave Guobei County?

"You should stop running around these days. Stay at my house first and wait until this matter is over."

Second Uncle Xu settled the matter in a few words.
