The cannon fodder female partner becomes a god by practicing involution

Chapter 16 Cause and Effect
Although the Tudao people had been defeated and fled, there were still some doubts about the incident in Dongqi Town, so the two quickly returned to the Liu Family Courtyard.

Lan Min is no longer here. He wants to go back to the Lan clan to report what happened here.

In the small house on the east side, a middle-aged man collapsed on the ground and his ears were bleeding. This was caused by the ghost roar attack. As for his mother, her life was short, and she passed away after this incident.

Although Shen Qingluo used the flowing bagpipe to fight against the ghost roar, greatly reducing the power of its sound attack, the human body is extremely fragile. Even if the power is greatly reduced, the ghost roar is still enough to cause huge damage to it.

Yao Molian came to the house and took a look for a moment, "Liu Lai is still alive. Mortals cannot take the healing elixir directly. Neither of us has wood spirit roots. We can only inform the Lan family and let them save people."

Shen Qingluo nodded, "Lan Min has left. Judging by the time, people from the Lan family should be arriving."

Not long after they finished speaking, the two of them noticed several auras approaching the small courtyard.

Lan He, the leader of the Lan clan, walked at the front, followed by Lan Min and three Lan clan members.

Lan He was aware of the situation here as early as the ghost whistle sounded.

It's just that he is the only foundation-building monk in the Lan clan now, and the number of enemies is unknown. He is worried that he will be attacked after leaving the clan, so he has not come here for a long time.

He didn't start until Lan Min returned to the family and brought the news that the red ghost had been eliminated and the controller had escaped.

In the courtyard, Shen Qingluo and Yao Molian looked at Lan's group with indifferent expressions.

When fighting the enemy, no one from the Lan family came to help. There was so much noise at that time that it was impossible for them not to hear it.

If they didn't take the sect's mission into consideration, the two of them would never stay here any longer.

"Clan Chief Lan came along, did he see Senior Brother Meng and his three people?"

It was Yao Molian who asked. After so long, there was still no news about Meng Zirui, Wang Fang, and Zhao Yanran, so she had a suspicion in her heart.

The three of them were afraid that they were plotted before they discovered the enemy's traces, triggered the amulet of teleportation, and were taken back to the sect.

Lan He shook his head with a sad look on his face, "Before coming here, I used my spiritual sense to check and found no three immortals."

At the gate of the clan, he heard Meng Zirui's words clearly. He knew that the Taisheng Sect disciples who came this time were all carrying amulets, so he was not worried that their lives would be in danger, but he was worried that they would turn against several immortals.

At this time, Shen Qingluo thought of another possibility, "The protective teleportation talisman will only be activated after being attacked by a life-threatening attack. If the Tu Dao people just trapped Brother Meng and the others, then this talisman will not have any effect. "

"Junior sister Shen means that they, like the missing people in Dongqi Town, were taken to a certain place and became the preliminary materials for refining corpse puppets?"

"It's just a guess. Senior sister also mentioned before that there is another space underground in Dongqi Town. Chief Lan, are there any of you who are good at earth-based techniques?"

"Yes!" Lan He pointed at the young man at the fifth level of Qi Refining next to him, "Jing Ming is good at escape from the earth."

Shen Qingluo nodded slightly, "Then I'll help this fellow Taoist sneak into the ground to investigate the situation."

"Yes." The young man responded respectfully, went outside the courtyard, found a relatively soft piece of land, made a fist with his hands, and after a few breaths, disappeared from the spot.

In the hospital, Lan Min went to the house where Liu Lai was and treated his injuries.

After about a stick of incense, the young man who used the Earth Escape Technique returned, his face pale, and his body smelled like a mixture of vomit and rotten corpses.

Shen Qingluo observed this person for a moment and determined that the other person was not injured. He probably saw some unbearable scenes.

"Reporting to the two Immortals, there is indeed something strange underground."

Halfway through the words, the young man remembered something and couldn't help but retched. Lan He's face looked a little ugly, and a spiritual power gathered in his palm, pressing it against the back of his neck.

After a while, the young man returned to normal and continued what he had not finished before.

"About ten feet down, there is a small space that is obviously man-made. All the missing people in the town are there. They are all dead and soaked in black water. The stench is astounding. There are also bottles and jars. I don't know if they were made. What’s it for?”

Yao Molian spoke at the right time: "Making corpse puppets requires a lot of poisonous insects. What you see should be the container where the poisonous insects are placed. Apart from the missing people in the town, did you see anyone else?"

"No, Meng Xianchang and the others are not there. Except for that small space, there are no abnormalities anywhere else within a radius of ten miles."

Shen Qingluo was thoughtful and asked: "Where does that space correspond to the ground?"

The young man pointed at the Liu family courtyard in front of him, "That's it!"

As expected, Shen Qingluo looked at Lan He and said, "Clan Chief Lan, have you ever heard of a ghost-controlling monk named Tu?"

Lan He looked a little unnatural, "Min'er told me that the surname Tu is rare, and ghost control monks are also extremely rare. All the coincidences are added together, and it is no longer a coincidence. He is indeed a person I know. , I thought he had died long ago, but I didn’t expect it.”

Shen Qingluo didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Have you ever had conflicts?"

"Well, this man's name is Tu Kai. About fifty years ago, he wandered here and lived in the town for a while. Somehow, my daughter Lan Xin got to know him. After getting to know him gradually, she fell in love with him. , I didn’t object to them being together at first, until I found out that Tukai was a ghost-bending monk.”

Speaking of this, Lan He showed a look of pain on his face, "Ghost-controlling monks have always been classified as evil cultivators. They do all kinds of evil. How can I let my daughter be with such people? Tu Kai confessed to me that because of his qualifications, No, I just started to control ghosts. He said that although he practiced this way, he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he hoped that I would let go of my prejudices.

Immortal Shen should know that the reason why ghost control monks are classified as evil cultivators is because as they advance in cultivation, they will be affected by the evil spirit of ghosts, and their temperament will gradually change. No matter what kind of person they are originally, there will be no exception in the end. They all became cruel and murderous people. "

Shen Qingluo nodded, Lan He's words were true.

I only heard the other party continue: "Tukai had just become a ghost-controlling monk at that time. Even though his character was reasonable, who knows what will happen in the future? So I was determined to break them up. After my constant persuasion, Xin'er was convinced by me. , promised to give up this relationship and practice hard.

But Tukai never gave up, and ran to the clan area again and again, trying to force his way in. I was so angry that I asked him to meet him in the bamboo forest outside the town in the name of Xin'er, intending to get rid of him there. As expected, he kept the appointment and was killed. I cut my throat with a sword. I made sure at that time that I was indeed breathless.

Now it seems that Tukai should have obtained a treasure that can replace his life and escaped death. Unfortunately, I did not think carefully at the time. If I had been more straightforward and burned the body with fire, there would have been no death. Today's matter. "

Shen Qingluo thought of the red-clothed fierce ghost and had a bad guess in his mind.

"Chief Lan, is your daughter Lan Xin still in the clan?"

Lan He's face was full of bitterness, "I killed Tu Kai without telling her at first. Later, Xin'er found out about it and accused me harshly, saying that I was cruel and ruthless. Then she ran away from home. Once she left, she never came back. She was just a Yue, Xin'er's soul lamp went out.

I know her temperament, and it is impossible to seek short-sightedness, so she was harmed, but I don’t know who the murderer is, and I can’t avenge Xin’er. Now it seems that Tukai is still alive, most likely because of this beast. ! He hated me for killing him, but he couldn't do anything to me, so he took revenge on Xin'er. "

Shen Qingluo secretly sighed. Since Lan Xin died a long time ago, the red-clothed ghost might really be her. However, judging from Liu Lai's description, the other party was only in the white-clothed realm three months ago. This is a doubtful point. From this point of view, , Hong Yi is not necessarily Lan Xin, the evil ghost has disappeared, I am afraid only Tu Kai knows the truth.

The fierce ghost who was driven by the ghost-controlling monk no longer retains any of his original nature. Even if Hong Yi is still there and she was really Lan He's daughter in life, when the two sides meet, they will only fight against each other.

Tukai chose to do evil in Dongqi Town, intending to take revenge on the Lan family, and by the way, he sacrificed and nourished the corpse puppet.

As for why he chose to take action fifty years later, Shen Qingluo guessed that it was mostly due to his strength. The price of using a substitute treasure was not small, and it was not that easy to recover it.

As of now, except for Meng Zirui, Wang Fang, and Zhao Yanran, the matter in Dongqi Town is basically settled, and the small underground space is left to the Lan family to deal with on their own.

Shen Qingluo and Yao Molian rejected Lan He's invitation to live in the clan, and after searching for the three senior brothers and sisters in and outside the town to no avail, they returned directly to the sect.
