Chapter 85 Returning to the House
A moment later.
The two Cui Zhaoyu and the two Lu County Magistrates looked at each other, and the four of them looked at each other. The scene was very awkward for a while.
Miss Lu didn't have time to cry anymore. She hid behind Li Daoxuan, very scared by this strange scene.
"My lady, I am your husband!"
"Yan'er, Grandpa is here!"
"How dare you impersonate an official of the imperial court?"
"You are the evildoer, Taoist Li, please testify for me!"
…
Li Daoxuan was overwhelmed. It was really like one crisis after another. Why did another County Magistrate Lu appear?
He used the magic mirror again, but it still had no effect. The two Lu County Magistrates looked normal.
"Everyone, please be patient. I'm going to get a magic weapon and will be back later!"
After saying that, Li Daoxuan used the art of shrinking the earth and left here in a flash, running to the street in the blink of an eye.
This is the direction out of the city.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan's heart was filled with chills. He vaguely felt that this was a carefully set up trap. The other party's target might not be Magistrate Lu's family, but himself!
Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one!
No matter what kind of monster it is, Li Daoxuan is not going to accompany it. You guys can play this game by yourselves!
In this way, Li Daoxuan hurried towards the city gate with an oil-paper umbrella on his back.
But just as he was about to leave the city, a figure came from outside the city. He was wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and his gray beard fluttering in the wind.
He stepped forward and smiled at Li Daoxuan, "My disciple, are you planning to leave the city?"
It was Zhang Qianyang who had not returned for a long time!
The moment he saw his master, the tension and anxiety in Li Daoxuan's heart disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master, you are finally back!"
Zhang Qianyang came over, patted his shoulder, and said, "I know everything. Don't worry, leave it to me."
After saying this, he looked into the distance with deep eyes.
"That house... has such a strong evil aura!"
Li Daoxuan admired him in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being a master, as he could see the evil spirit at a glance.
"Let's go and follow me to subdue the demons!"
"Yes, Master!"
The master and disciple stepped forward and walked towards the house of Cui Zhaoyu and his wife.
On the way, because he had his master with him, Li Daoxuan was no longer nervous, and even felt a little bit expectant. He wondered what reward he would get by killing these monsters.
As they walked, they passed by a tavern and the rich aroma of wine wafted over.
Li Daoxuan's nose twitched, and the wine worm in his stomach was aroused. However, now was not the time to buy wine. It would not be too late to buy it after the monster was eliminated.
Thinking of this, he glanced at his master.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of disharmony, as if he had overlooked some important detail...
Li Daoxuan followed his master and continued to walk forward, his eyes accidentally catching a glimpse of the wine gourd on his master's waist.
liquor!
Li Daoxuan's body trembled and he felt cold all over. He finally realized what details he had overlooked.
The master is addicted to alcohol and drinks all year round, so he always smells of alcohol. But just now, he didn't smell anything while walking along the way!
At this moment, Zhang Qianyang suddenly stopped, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"Nothing, just a daze."
"The demon is about to be eliminated, don't be distracted."
The two continued to walk forward.
Li Daoxuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Although it was summer, he felt creepy.
Maybe the master just hasn't drunk alcohol for a long time because he went out to collect herbs?
It is possible to think so, but a guess lingers in Li Daoxuan's mind.
The land god of Xiaosha Village once said that there were three monsters that slaughtered the village. If one of them turned into Cui Zhaoyu and one turned into County Magistrate Lu, then... what about the last monster?
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan felt a chill rushing down his spine.
"Master...Master, the new coffin you requested has been bought. When are we going to bury our uncle?"
Zhang Qianyang stopped and glanced at him.
"Wait until this monster is subdued."
Li Daoxuan looked him in the eye, pretending to be calm, but with his hands behind his back he made hand seals, preparing to use his earth-moving magical power.
He was already certain that the master in front of him was a transformed monster!
Because there was no uncle to be buried, the master's new coffin was reserved for himself to sleep in!
Cui Zhaoyu and Magistrate Lu were just mortals, and their memories could be easily read. But as a cultivator and with Sister Yu's personal protection, it would certainly not be that easy for him to search his memory.
That's why the third monster-turned-master revealed his true colors when he was tempted by himself.
Li Daoxuan didn't understand at this moment that the three monsters had set up a trap, and their target was him!
Just as Li Daoxuan was about to escape underground, Zhang Qianyang's eyes flashed and he grabbed his hand at lightning speed.
"Haha, with my master here, why do we need any magical instruments to subdue demons? Let's go!"
The next moment, Li Daoxuan felt dizzy, as if he was flying in the clouds. When he woke up again, he was back in the house.
All eyes turned to him.
Two Cui Zhaoyus and two Lu County Magistrates. However, unlike before, this time the four of them stood there stiffly, motionless, as if someone had put a talisman on them.
Can't even speak.
And Miss Lu also remained motionless, looking at Li Daoxuan with eyes asking for help.
Zhang Qianyang let go of Li Daoxuan's hand, he smiled slightly, walked to Miss Lu, gently lifted her chin and sniffed her.
"She is a beautiful woman who makes me feel pity for her."
After that, he turned around and sat down, smiling at Li Daoxuan, "You are quite smart. You noticed something was wrong on the way. I like smart people."
Li Daoxuan stared at him, and the sword ball in his hand flew up and turned into a glowing red sword.
"Who are you and why did you become my master?"
Zhang Qianyang smiled faintly and said, "If you want to know who I am, you must pass a test first."
"test?"
"The game has already begun. Now, what you need to do is to find out who is a human and who is a... monster among the four of them."
Zhang Qianyang's hand suddenly grabbed Miss Lu's neck.
"Use her life as a timer. If you can't find the monster before she suffocates, then unfortunately, this beauty will die."
Li Daoxuan looked at him coldly, and without much hesitation, he prepared to burrow into the ground to leave.
"Fuck your game, I don't want to play with you, goodbye--"
However, before he could finish his words, he saw Zhang Qianyang take out another transparent bead.
There were a number of wailing little figures in the bead. It was obvious that their souls were trapped in the bead and were being roasted by the fire, screaming miserably.
Li Daoxuan saw several familiar figures.
Among them were Laocunzheng and his little granddaughter.
The little granddaughter's soul was already very weak. Her skin was torn apart by the burns, and her tears turned into water vapor before they could even flow.
When she saw Li Daoxuan, her painful and numb eyes suddenly lit up with a glimmer of light.
"Brother Daoist, it hurts so much..."
