The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 98

At the same time, within the Lu Mansion in Changsha County.

Pei Wende also formally stepped into the huge courtyard of the Lu Mansion.

Just like all the rich and gentry in this era, the Lu Mansion also has a huge and jaw-dropping courtyard.

In this courtyard, every mountain, every stone, every flower and every tree, all carry an indescribable aura of wealth, and you can tell at a glance that they are precious products carefully selected and purchased.

In addition, this courtyard also has supporting facilities and buildings such as a lotus pond, a fallen leaf pavilion, and a small water bridge. It only looks like it covers an area of ​​more than five or six hundred square meters.

The most exaggerated thing is that in the place where the courtyard is close to the ancestral house, a century-old banyan tree, whether it was transplanted or planted, stands majestically, showing its grandeur and prosperity.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is really the style of rich people!"

Rarely opened his eyes wide, Pei Wende admired the ancient courtyard decoration, feeling that in his two lifetimes combined, these rich people would not enjoy it.

"After all, it is a wealthy family, and this courtyard alone is worth thousands of dollars."

Although it was not the first time he had seen the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, Zhang Scholar beside him still couldn't help but sighed.

Just judging from Zhang Shusheng's expression, Pei Wende couldn't tell whether the other party was lamenting such a luxury, or regretting that he did not have such a wealthy family background.

"The courtyard is indeed a good courtyard, but the family is not necessarily a good family."

He muttered without malice, Pei Wende must not forget that Li Yanran once said that the old man of the Lu family forced his daughter-in-law to death.

Although the magic Taoist may be the culprit behind the whole incident, the conflict between the old man of the Lu family and his daughter-in-law is certainly not groundless.

"Speaking of this, do you have any impression of the eldest lady of the Lu family?"

As an innocent person who was rumored to be forced to death by the old man of the Lu family, he turned into a ghost after death to disturb the existence of the Lu family...

Pei Wende was a little curious about what kind of impression this woman had in the eyes of Zhang Shusheng, an outsider?
"Miss Lu's family? Are you talking about the woman who turned into a ghost in red?"

Hearing Pei Wende's question, Zhang Shusheng was puzzled for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"I never saw her because she died the night I came."

Mr. Zhang said with a wry smile, once again lamenting his own misfortune deep in his heart.

If he hadn't been bewitched by the beauty at that time, and had left Lu's mansion decisively, he probably wouldn't have ended up like this now.

"I see."

Pei Wende didn't ask any more questions, and instead approached the unusually conspicuous banyan tree a little bit.

It's just that the moment Pei Wende approached the banyan tree, he seemed to have seen something incredible, and even his expression became a bit deeper than before.

"Scholar, let me ask you another question."

"Do you remember how Ugenf died?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shusheng immediately opened his eyes wide in shock, his expression full of disbelief.

"Wugenfu is dead? How is that possible? How did he die?"

Asking three questions a year fully demonstrated Zhang Shusheng's inner shock.

At the same time, Zhang Shusheng was also puzzled, why did Pei Wende ask such a question?
Could it be that he must know how Wu Genfu died?Also said that Wugenfu's death was related to him?

"what have you found?"

Zhang Shusheng, who was full of greetings, suddenly seemed to realize something, and couldn't help but follow Pei Wende's gaze to look at the unusually conspicuous banyan tree.

"hiss!"

At the same time, the little green snake also neighed in a timely manner, with a touch of human surprise in its eyes.

......................................................................................................

"Scholar..."

Instead of directly answering Zhang Shusheng's question, Pei Wende just turned to face him silently, and said in a depressed and deep tone.

"Have you ever thought about why you were imprisoned in this mansion?"

Zhang Shusheng, who already had a premonition in his heart, remained silent, and even forgot to continue to ask Wu Genfu's question.

"Is there something wrong with my memory...?"

After a long silence, Zhang Shusheng, who is not stupid, asked this crucial question tremblingly.

It was obviously a simple question that couldn't be simpler, but Pei Wende seemed to hear a little crying from Zhang Shusheng's tone.

"Don't you realize this yourself?"

When Pei Wende said these words, he slowly moved his body away from the front of the banyan tree.

In the next second, the prosperous banyan tree in Zhang Shusheng's eyes seemed to lift some kind of hazy veil, officially showing its truest appearance in front of him.

"what!"

Accompanied by Zhang Shusheng's almost hysterical screams, he finally saw the banyan tree in front of him clearly.

What kind of banyan tree is this?

This is clearly a human head tree full of human heads!

"how is this possible?"

I saw that on the trunk of this huge banyan tree, densely packed human heads were embedded in it, which seemed to grow out of the trunk.

Zhang Shusheng only took a rough scan, and he can confirm that the number of these heads is definitely no less than a hundred.

And among those ferocious and terrifying heads, Ugenfu's head was inlaid strikingly, as if he had suffered endless torture before his death.

The most important thing is that among these tortured heads, Zhang Shusheng saw a head with closed eyes and a peaceful face.

"That's... my head?!"

Shock, pain, disbelief, and unspeakable ignorance...

Zhang Shusheng looked at the head inlaid in the center of the banyan tree in disbelief, surrounded by other heads like stars and moons, and felt that his three views had suffered an unprecedented impact.

"But... I'm clearly here!"

At this moment, Zhang Shusheng's memory returned to the time when he just opened the door to Pei Wende.

The moment he opened the door, Pei Wende seemed to be very vigilant to himself, and even unconsciously touched the dog-leg knife on his waist.

"You... have known since then?"

Turning his head with a mournful face, Zhang Shusheng looked at the silent Pei Wende, his tone full of pleading.

He hoped that Pei Wende could deny his speculation and his statement.

"You are already dead."

However, the only response to Zhang Shusheng was Pei Wende's helpless nod, and a flash of compassion and anger in his eyes.

"As early as the night you participated in the first seven days of Mrs. Lu's family, your body was already dead."

"And Wu Genfu may have died in this ghost realm to save you."
