Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 175: Ghost Haunting
Tuyaozhai, Houzhai.
Upon hearing the news, Deputy Gang Leader Ma Xin and other leaders rushed over and went straight to the compound where Gang Leader Hua Shi lived.
When they entered the yard, they saw that all the servants in the yard were silent and trembling.
"What's wrong?" Ma Xin asked loudly, "What happened? What the hell? Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?"
"Ma Gang Leader..." a gang member said in a trembling voice, "It's... a red one, with fire coming out of its body, fire..."
"What?" Ma Xin was furious. "Speak properly. What's red? What's on fire?"
"A red ghost!" The gang member pointed to the house where the gang leader Hua Shi lived. "We saw a red ghost with fire all over its body running out of the gang leader Hua's house!"
"I... I know it..." At this time, an old lady in charge of cooking said tremblingly, "That's a Xionggui. Xionggui is the one that burns fire. It's a Xionggui..."
"Ma...Ma...Ma Gang Leader..."
At this time, Ma Xin saw several servants lying at the door of Hua Shi's room. They were all terrified and pale, as if they had seen something more terrifying than a ghost.
"ah!!?"
Ma Xin immediately realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ran to the room of the flower corpse. After entering the room, he was immediately frightened by the scene inside!
When the other leaders saw this, they were so frightened that they stepped back and screamed, and even stumbled and fell to the ground.
But the rest of the room where Hua Shi was staying was intact, except for a charred corpse lying on the bed!
The corpse was curled up and shriveled, as if it had been burned into charcoal!
However, even though the body had been burnt and deformed, the dead man's appearance could still be identified. It was the leader of their Tan Gang - Hua Shi!!!
"Boss Hua..." Ma Xin fell to his knees, unable to believe it. He actually smelled a familiar smell from the corpse.
how so?
Could it be that... the gang leader was burned into charcoal by that beast? ! ?
…
At the same time when the Tan Gang was undergoing tremendous changes, Xu Zun and others were on their way back to Yonghui City. Naturally, they had no idea that Hua Shi had been burned to death by the beast ghost.
"Sir..." In the carriage, they were still discussing the previous topic. Zhao Yu asked Xu Zun, "What did you say to the leader of the Ma Gang?"
Xu Zun smiled faintly and told the truth: "I didn't say anything!"
"Here we go again," Zhao Yu naturally didn't believe it, "When it comes to the critical moment, you never tell us the truth! I really don't understand, we are offending the Zishan Sect, but you come to the Tan Gang to show your power, what's the meaning of this?"
"I didn't lie to you. I really didn't say anything!" Xu Zun said, "I'm just here to create momentum. The less they understand us, the less they will dare to act recklessly!"
"Humph, so what if they mess around?" Huo Anu said disdainfully, "We are the chief judges of the prefecture, and we are also ordered to investigate the case. What dare they do to us?"
"You can't say that," Xu Zun said, "Didn't you hear what Tian Murong said? Zishan Sect has more than 2,000 disciples. They have big backers in both the martial arts world and the officialdom. They can buy and sell official positions. Their strength should not be underestimated.
"We either don't mess with them, or we mess with them all the way!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu understood, "So, you came to the Tan Gang to reveal a message to the Zishan Sect that the Tan Gang has a connection with you! In this way, they are worried that we will unite with the Tan Gang, so they dare not act rashly?
"But..." Zhao Yu reminded Xu Zun, "Master Xu, to be honest, I really didn't take those Zishan Sect disciples seriously!
"But you have to be careful with Yue Jinglei! If this person gets involved, it will be very troublesome. His ability is incomparable to that of Wei Beihui!"
As he said this, he glanced at the carriage opposite. The meaning was obvious. He was also worried that even if Ku Niang took action, she might not be a match for Yue Jinglei.
What's more, why should Ku Niang take action?
"I know." Xu Zun nodded, but he knew it clearly in his heart that Ku Niang had told him in person that she would protect him for three months.
Well, if Yue Jinglei really came, Ku Niang would not sit idly by.
"Sir," Huo Anu asked, "now that we have been to the Tan Gang, where should we go next?"
"Two gangs, one faction, one warehouse," Xu Zun said, "We have to go around them all, right?"
"You mean we should go to the Sanhe Gang?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Yes," Xu Zun nodded, "Why did I hear that the leader of the Sanhe Gang is a woman?"
…
At the same time, in Yongxing Fort, the headquarters of Zishan Sect.
"Ouch..." The great elder, Jiao Tong, was pacing anxiously in front of the door of a secret room, and urged the group of disciples gathered at the door, "When will it be opened?"
At this moment, the disciples were using crowbars to pry the stone door, trying to open it.
"Great Elder," a disciple said, "This stone door is locked from the inside. It cannot be pried open from the outside!"
"Tsk tsk...what should I do?" Jian Tong had sensed that the situation was not good, so he immediately ran over and knocked on the stone door, shouting, "Master, please open the door! Something serious has happened! Master..."
He knocked many times, but there was no response.
"Grand Elder!" At this time, other elders of Zishan Sect came one after another, and someone suggested, "This secret room is where the ancestors of our Zishan Sect practiced, and it only has this one exit.
"If it's locked from the inside, then it won't be able to be pried open no matter how hard you try!"
"Then... what should we do?" Cheng Jiaotong was anxious, "We can't just watch the master die in there, right?"
"Master, um..." one of the elders asked, "How long has the Master been in there?"
"One training session lasts seven days," said Jiao Tong, "The master has only been in there for three days!"
"Where are the guards?" the elder asked. "Where are the guards? Is there anything unusual in there, Master?"
"Elder," two disciples stood up and said, "We have been guarding outside and didn't hear anything unusual inside!"
"There's nothing we can do about it!" the elder suggested, "We can only destroy it!"
"Well... okay!" Jian Tong made the decision reluctantly, and immediately ordered his disciples to prepare stone hammers to smash the stone door open.
While waiting to knock on the door, the elders started discussing Xu Zun again.
They had heard about what happened after Xu Zun and others came to Yonghui, and they also realized that they had ill intentions and felt a huge sense of crisis.
However, after a heated discussion, they could not come up with a plan to deal with Xu Zun.
Almost all the elders believed that Xu Zun definitely did it on purpose and must have come prepared, and the Zishan Sect must not act rashly.
"Alas!" Jian Tong sighed and said, "Now, I just hope that the headmaster is safe, or that our Junior Brother Jing Lei can come to Yonghui..."
While the elders were discussing, the disciples had already prepared their stone hammers and began to bang on the door.
The stone door was solid, and the disciples took turns to smash it. After a full hour, the stone door finally fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust!
Amid the smoke and dust, the elders rushed into the secret room impatiently, only to see a man in a white robe sitting cross-legged under the dim oil lamp in the center of the secret room. It was their leader Wanqi Feng!
However, when the elders came closer and saw the situation clearly, they were so frightened that their scalps went numb and their hair stood on end!
But the man in white robe had already turned into a pile of bones!!!
