Chapter 508 Demon Road Lu Chen, the Witch Mansion
was frightened. Li Ran came to the backyard and stood in the distance looking at the little savage.
"Master, go take a bath first."
"Ah, don't hold that weird hand."
The four maids dragged the little savage into the house to take a bath.
The little wild man was shy by nature, and when he saw the woman's cheeks turn red, the housekeeper Ah Fu took advantage of this and used the maid to trick the little wild man back into the house.
On the surface, it seems that the old lady is in charge of the overall affairs of the Wu Mansion, but in fact it is Master Wu who is in charge.
Master Wu secretly asked Ah Fu to take the little savage from Nanyu Street to the backyard of the mansion, without the old lady knowing.
The little savage had never seen such a world before. Surrounded by four maids, he arrived at Zulong City half-heartedly.
Along the way, these ladies were gentle and considerate, as beautiful as their mothers.
The ladies are pretty and well-spoken, but the little savage is shy and doesn't know how to reject people, especially women.
"Boy, I can't cure you yet!" Afu, the housekeeper, looked at the little savage being dragged to take a bath and said with a sly smile.
Li Ran came behind the housekeeper and asked curiously: "You guys are so efficient in bringing me back so quickly." Upon hearing this, Ah Fu's
expression changed. He turned around and saw Li Ran and said "Shhh" gesture, and then pulled Li Ran to a small room in the backyard.
"Benefactor, just pretend you didn't see this. You also saw the master and the old lady quarreling over this matter today. Don't let the old lady know about this, please." Ah Fu said.
Li Ran agreed, looked into the courtyard of the little savage through the grille window, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Butler, what happened ten years ago? Where did the demon come from, and he abducted the daughter of the Witch Mansion? Ah
Fu asked Li Ran to keep the secret, and Li Ran agreed, but the condition must be that Ah Fu also needs to tell him something, otherwise the secret may not be kept.
As the butler of the Witch Mansion, he is also a good person, so how could he not know the meaning of Li Ran's words and expressions.
He thought for a while, it had been ten years since the demonic incident, and it had caused a lot of trouble in the city, so there was nothing he could not say.
"The demon's name is Lu Chen. He was originally a charlatan sorcerer who made a living by telling fortunes on the street and defrauding people. But one day, this guy stood up. He was a divination spirit. He didn't need any money to return the divination. He only needed to tell fortunes. Just cut off the person's finger and offer a little blood."
"No one believed it at first, but Lu Chen casually pointed at someone and said that there would be a big disaster tomorrow. That person didn't believe it, but it turned out that there was a big disaster the next day. His child went swimming in the river and drowned."
"This matter spread immediately. At first, some people thought that Lu Chen killed the child in order to build his own reputation. Faced with everyone's doubts and speculations, Lu Chen Calmly pointing at each person and telling his or her embarrassment and what is about to happen." "
Those people are like the last fig leaf being revealed, and what is about to happen has also come true for them." "In a short time
, Within a few days, Lu Chen had a very high reputation among the people, who called him a living god." "Wu Cuiyun, the rich
daughter of the Wu Mansion, once attended a temple fair and met Lu Chen by chance. He frightened the young lady with just a few words, and he told her fortunes. Every fortune was calculated in the young lady's heart. Therefore, the young lady who rarely went out immediately believed in Lu Chen's words and had a crush on Lu Chen. I have a strong interest."
"From then on, the young lady often went out to have private meetings with Lu Chen. Time passed quickly day by day. When the Zulong City was completed and a large number of people needed to be cleared, our young lady cried and begged her grandpa and Madam, ask them to take Lu Chen in, because Lu Chen will be expelled from the city if his number is not picked up in the lottery." "It was
also that day that Master and Madam found out that Wu Cuiyun was pregnant."
"Being pregnant before marriage is a taboo in Zulong City, and you will be punished. If you break the backbone, you will be regarded as unchaste and unclean, but Wu Cuiyun is trying to defend that demon. If you really have the ability to be a demon, why can't you calculate that you have failed the lottery, and why can't you calculate that you will be expelled from the city?"
"In the end, the master, his wife, and the young lady got into trouble and the relationship between father and daughter was severed. The madam was so angry that she fainted on the spot and cursed the young lady as an unfilial daughter who cheated on her." "After the relationship between father and daughter was severed, the young lady never came back, and Zulong City also went as scheduled
. And then they started a purge plan, leaving the limited resources in the city to those who win the lottery."
Li Ran was surprised when he heard what the butler Ah Fu said.
This is a new version of the ship.
They are all talking about evil Lu Chen.
But in Ono's opinion, Demon Dao Lu Chen is good, and he is the leader who overthrows the tyrant's rule.
The words of the housekeeper Afu are more convincing. The little savage can't speak clearly and can't tell the difference between good and bad, so how can he know the ins and outs of things.
He was not yet born at that time, so Wu Cuiyun told him all the stories.
And Wu Cuiyun was Lu Chen's man. If Lu Chen really had that ability, Wu Cuiyun would have been brainwashed long ago, and very thoroughly.
"After Lu Chen was expelled from the city, he tried to launch an uprising to overthrow the Yuan Emperor under the banner of the Yuan Emperor's oppression of the people and not give them a way to survive. As a result, the Yuan Emperor sent troops to expel him ten miles west of the city." "I don't know what happened afterwards
. , some people say that the sudden change in the palace ten years ago was the revenge of Demon Dao Lu Chen, in order to avenge Yuan Huang." "
That's all I know." Butler Afu glanced at the little savage in the backyard. The little savage At this time, I had finished taking a shower and was sitting at the dining table enjoying a meal.
He had never eaten so much delicious food. He grabbed the food on the table with both hands and ate like crazy. The maid behind him was trimming his hair, laughing so hard.
"Don't let Madam know what's going on here, please." Ah Fu added.
"Okay." Li Ran said.
The housekeeper immediately ran back to the room and told the maid not to speak too loudly so as not to be overheard by the lady.
Li Ran noticed that the little savage put his arm behind him. A maid tried to take away the scary red arm, but found that she couldn't take it away at all.
"I'm afraid the King of Hatred is coming." Li Ran said with a focused look.
The plot of the Witch Mansion has obviously not begun yet, and the entry of the little savage into the mansion is just the beginning of this plot.
At nightfall, Li Ran thanked his wife for her hospitality and used the excuse of fasting.
Madam also expressed her understanding. Many people in Zulong City go through the fasting period for three to four months every year. They do not eat fish and meat and eat very little, and they hardly eat much at night.
Li Ran was sitting in the room, meditating and recuperating, while practicing the last level of the Holy Spring Ice Heart Technique.
His spiritual sense was activated at all times, scanning the movements of everyone in the entire Witch Mansion, including the little savage in the backyard.
after dinner.
Mr. Wu and his wife returned to the room.
The lady sat on the coffee table, and the grandfather sat on the edge of the bed, both of them silent.
Mr. Wu was sorting out Wu Cuiyun's belongings and pasting the letters torn to pieces by his wife with pigskin glue.
Looking at the last words in the letter and Wu Cuiyun's confession, Mr. Wu secretly shed tears and sighed.
"Don't bother me in front of me. I'm so annoyed all the time." The lady slapped the table angrily and said.
"We are all old, and ten years have passed. It's time to let go, and let the past go with the wind." Mr. Wu said.
Then he picked up Wu Cuiyun's relics and letters and walked out of the room.
After Mr. Wu left, the silver-haired old lady suddenly couldn't control herself, she felt sad and burst into tears.
But what the old lady didn't know was that there was a wisp of ghost floating behind her, and the wisp of ghost burst into tears like rain, and she couldn't make a sound.
"Wu Cuiyun's dead soul?"
Li Ran opened his eyes, a sharp look flashing in his eyes.
He opened the door and walked toward the old lady's room.
"It's strange why Wu Cuiyun's soul came back. Why wasn't it discovered before?"
"Could it be that it's possessed by those relics?"
Because he had looked at the baggage with his golden finger before, and the baggage said that it could not be opened because it would affect the plot, so he took a casual look at it with the eyes of ghosts and gods.
Now I think that Wu Cuiyun's soul should have been in the baggage at that time, evading his perception and successfully blending into the Wu Mansion.
Li Ran vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.
This task in Wu Mansion is not easy.
Arriving outside the old lady's room, Li Ran turned on the clairvoyance ability of the Eye of Ghosts and Gods and saw Wu Cuiyun's soul standing behind the old lady. There was no resentment in Wu Cuiyun's expression, but more of remorse and guilt.
Why is this happening?
Did Wu Cuiyun realize that he was bewitched by the demon Lu Chen?
But it is a pity that the soul cannot communicate with ordinary people, and the old lady cannot see Wu Cuiyun.
"Little trick bottle, take it away!"
Li Ran took Wu Cuiyun's soul through the door.
Wu Cuiyun looked panicked and didn't know what happened.
Li Ran did not put Wu Cuiyun's soul into the small bottle, but received it in front of him. He stared at Wu Cuiyun with cold eyes: "What are you doing here? Didn't I fulfill your long-cherished wish?" Li Ran has the power of ghosts and gods and has a small body
. The mysterious bottle can communicate with the souls of the dead.
He felt that some things still needed to be clarified, and he could not let these NPCs take the lead without knowing anything.
Wu Cuiyun naturally knew Li Ran. She asked the little savage to entrust the task of [Dead Soul's Long-cherished Wish] to Li Ran. The real entruster was actually Wu Cuiyun.
When he first saw the mission, he was also confused about the long-cherished wish of the dead souls. He had never seen the dead souls during the whole process, so how could some relics be regarded as dead souls.
"Benefactor, don't accept me, I have my own reasons." Wu Cuiyun begged, she was very afraid of the little bottle in Li Ran's hand.
Li Ran put the little bottle away, and Wu Cuiyun felt a little better.
"I want to see my parents, and I also want them to accept Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao lives alone in a cave. As a mother, it is really heartbreaking." Wu Cuiyun said.
"But when you sent him to this witch house, did you know that he might become a devil in hell?" Li Ran said.
"No, Xiao Yao is a kind-hearted kid with no bad intentions. He can't be used by that arm. If he was going to become a devil, he would have changed after so many years." Wu Cuiyun said.
"Haha." Li Ran smiled coldly and said, "He fights with animals all day long, so how could he know that the human heart is far more terrifying than hell." "What you want to say is that you are accusing me of not treating children in this way
. Will you bring Yao back?" Wu Cuiyun said angrily.
"Perhaps leaving Xiao Yao in the cave is the best way to protect him." Li Ran said.
Wu Cuiyun bit the corner of her mouth. She had never thought about this. However, she was obsessed with her long-cherished wish and could not leave Wu Xiaoyao. However, she watched her child in a dark cave every day. As a mother, her heart ached. Incomparably, I hope that my child can return to the Zulong City Witch Mansion.
"Then your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, why don't you want to leave?" Li Ran asked.
Wu Cuiyun looked towards the backyard, worry written on his face.
"So you are still worried that your child will turn into a devil, and you can't convince yourself." Li Ran said.
"Yes, I have to watch him, watch him grow up, and watch him not be deceived by the devil." Wu Cuiyun said with firm eyes.
"This is your real long-cherished wish," Li Ran said.
Although Wu Cuiyun did not answer, the look and determination on her face said everything.
"I swear I will not interfere in his life, let alone everything in the Wu Mansion." Wu Cuiyun said.
The more he said this, the more he didn't believe it.
He suspected that Mr. Wu had temporarily changed his mind and brought Wu Xiaoyao into the Wu Mansion, and it was probably Wu Cuiyun who was standing in the way.
He remembered the way Mr. Wu secretly wiped his tears and whispered while reading the letters several times.
Could it be that Wu Cuiyun used the power of his soul to convey information to Mr. Wu through letters?
Although it is difficult for the soul to interfere with reality.
But some souls with deep obsessions can change some things in reality through the power of obsession.
For example, you can make the curtains flutter, make the fonts change, or create a dream.
No wonder Mr. Wu kept holding that letter all day long when he had nothing to do.
"It seems that Mr. Wu suddenly changed his mind and brought Wu Xiaoyao here from Nanyu Street. Wu Cuiyun must have done something wrong." Li Ran thought.
He saw through Wu Cuiyun's tricks at a glance.
"Then you should come into this bottle first and witness with me the consequences of everything you have done." Li Ran said.
"No, no, no," Wu Cuiyun begged for mercy.
Li Ran ignored it and put Wu Cuiyun into a small bottle and placed it in a separate area where it would not be refined.
Hanging the small bottle around his neck, he patted the bottle and said, "Don't worry, you are not in danger inside."
As soon as he put Wu Cuiyun away, he heard the frightened scream of a maid from the yard. .
Li Ran's face changed slightly and he said, "Is this the beginning?"
The screams woke up the crying old lady and Mr. Wu in the house.
Master Wu opened the door and called the housekeeper Ah Fu.
"What happened?" Master Wu asked.
"I just heard about it, sir. Master and madam, please come with me to have a look." said the housekeeper Ah Fu.
"Okay, lead the way."
The scream came from the west wing of Xiyuan where the maids and servants lived.
As soon as the group of people arrived at the gate of Xiyuan in a hurry, they saw several maids running out screaming.
Mr. Wu and the housekeeper Ah Fu walked forward and saw the cook holding two kitchen knives, covered in blood and standing in the open space of Xiyuan with fierce eyes.
At the cook's feet was the mangled corpse of a maid, with blood staining the ground red.
"Lao Guo, what are you doing? Put down the knife!" the housekeeper Ah Fu shouted.
With this shout, Chef Guo suddenly trembled all over, looking at the people around him with a confused expression.
Then he looked at the two bloody kitchen knives in his hands and the maid's body on the ground, and was so frightened that the two kitchen knives in his hands fell to the ground.
As soon as the kitchen knife dropped, the guards on both sides rushed forward with sticks to subdue Chef Guo.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!!" Chef Guo shouted heartbreakingly.
"What's going on?" Mr. Wu grabbed a maid and asked.
The maid said tremblingly: "We just returned to Xiyuan and saw Chef Guo chopping Xiaodie. Xiaodie had already fallen to the ground, and Chef Guo was still chopping. It was terrible." Mr. Wu looked at the other maids
. He asked the servant, "Did you all see it too?"
"Yes, I did." Several people answered one after another.
"Humph, Lao Guo, everyone saw you kill Xiaodie, and you still want to quibble?" Mr. Wu's face darkened, and he said to the housekeeper Ah Fu: "Report it to the official, and hand Lao Guo over to the Yamen."
Several nursing staff took Lao Guo away. From a distance, they could only hear Lao Guo shouting that he was wronged.
"Don't destroy the scene. Let the government officials come and see what they say." Mr. Wu said.
"Yes!"
Then Mr. Wu frowned and left Xiyuan.
The old lady was tense all over, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and turning them constantly. She was really scared.
"I'm afraid this is just the beginning." Li Ran said standing not far away.
The plot of the mission is not something Li Ran can interfere with, and it would be meaningless to interfere.
The plot of this mission begins when the little savage Wu Xiaoyao enters the witch mansion.
This kind of thing will definitely happen again, and it will definitely happen frequently tonight.
Sure enough, Chef Guo had just sent him to the Yamen. On the other side, a nurse hurried over and shouted: "It's not good, sir, there is a corpse in the lotus pond." Suddenly, everyone at the foot of the Wufu
Mountain Everyone's heart sank.
The old lady's hand held the prayer beads tighter.
"Take, take me quickly." Master Wu said.
So, the nursing home took the two old people and a group of maids and servants towards the garden behind the hospital.
At the lotus pond, a tall and thin man wearing gray clothes and coarse cloth was fished out of the lotus pond by the nursing staff.
"This seems to be Old Liu, the carpenter in our courtyard." The housekeeper Ah Fu immediately recognized the tall, thin man in gray clothes who had drowned.
"How...how did you drown so easily?"
Two people died in the Wu Mansion at once, and everyone felt uneasy and panicked.
"Chef Guo is usually very good, and he doesn't seem to suddenly go crazy and kill people with a knife." A little maid said.
A handyman cried and looked at the salvaged body and said: "Yesterday I was drinking with Lao Liu. He also said that he would go back to his hometown this month after finishing the work. His wife was going to give birth, but it only took a day..."
" Isn't Xiaodie even more pitiful? She only came to the house a month ago and she was hacked to death." A maid said.
"Did you just see the look in Chef Guo's eyes? When the butler shouted, his look completely changed... Could it be that he was possessed by something dirty?" a servant said suddenly.
"Don't... don't scare me. I'm a coward. After so many years, our house is still very safe. Nothing like this has ever happened." A maid said.
Uneasiness, weirdness, and fear enveloped the Witch Mansion.
"Ah Fu, protect the scene and let the government officials investigate." Mr. Wu rubbed his eyebrows, and his frown turned into a deep "Chuan".
"Madam, it's okay, let's go back to the room." Mr. Wu supported his wife and found that her hands were very cold and her whole body was tense. She was obviously scared.
"Master, is this retribution? I just decided to take Cuiyun's child to Nanyu during the day, and so many things happened at night..." "Don't think about it,
leave it to the government, they will definitely investigate it. Yes." Master Wu said.
"But...but, I feel like Cuiyun is by my side. Could it be that she is back and blaming us?" the old lady said.
Mr. Wu trembled slightly, forced out an ugly smile and said to the housekeeper: "Ah Fu, take your wife back to rest." On the
first day of August, I beg the boss for the guaranteed monthly pass.
