Knife splashing

Chapter 338 Wang Daoxuan's plan to save people

The rain kept dripping down the hat.

The bone flower unfolded, revealing a black gun muzzle, pressing against the shrine, as if it would be activated in the next second.

Lu San was very smart and immediately found the weakness of this thing.

This is a wild god in the river.

The so-called wild gods are the opposite of the true gods. They are not among the gods canonized by the imperial court, but belong to the obscene worship of the people and are not worshipped by the orthodox religious lineage.

According to regulations, wild gods cannot be publicly worshipped, let alone offered large amounts of incense and offerings. Once discovered, the shrine will be destroyed and the god's soul will be dispersed.

Most of these wild gods are mountain spirits. They falsely claim to be mountain gods or water gods, luring some foolish people to worship them, and they do it secretly, not daring to be discovered.

Just like this one, nicknamed "Black-headed King", it is most likely a black fish spirit in the lake, bewitching fishermen to worship it.

There will be some benefits in the early stages, such as a good catch of fish.

But as the saying goes, "It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away." Over time, it will cause a lot of trouble, which is also something that people in the Xuanmen often have to deal with.

The new musket can destroy the shrine with one shot.

This "Black-Headed King" sensed the crisis, so he showed up to meet them.

As the two sides communicated, Lu San's brows became more and more furrowed, he said a few words in Shangyu, and his expression became stern.

However, the black shadow just shook its head frantically.

Lu San gritted his teeth and said a few more words.

The dark shadow hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.

Then, the strong winds around stopped.

The black shadow had disappeared, and in the lake far away, a two-meter-long black fish also turned over and dived into the water...

Lu San immediately put away the bone flower and left quickly with Wu Ba.

Not long after they walked, he moved his ears slightly, and pulled Wu Ba into the nearby dense forest, crouching down.

It was raining heavily and the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

It was the Shen family who arrived late.

"This damn God!"

The whole group was soaked and looked very miserable. The third son of the Shen family was even more unhappy and started cursing.

And in front of them was Wu Miao Zhu who was leading the way.

"Everyone, the entrance is here."

His face was calm and he pointed towards the lake.

Seeing the wooden boats floating on the lake, the second son of the Shen family suddenly changed his expression and shouted at Wu Miao Zhu: "What's going on? Did you leak the news?!"

When the others heard this, they all glared at him and put down their weapons.

Shen Jingcan shrank his neck and dared not speak.

He thought that with his eloquence and connections with both parties, he would be able to please both sides and get the matter settled.

But in fact, he overestimated himself.

The two sides almost came to blows when they met. No matter which side, no one took him seriously. If anyone said anything more at this time, he would probably be the first to suffer.

Looking at this group of unreasonable guys, Wu Miaozhu's eyes also rose with anger, and he sneered and mocked: "Do you really think that only your Shen family knows about this place?"

"Below is the tomb of Anping King Wu Youxu. There are a lot of gold and silver treasures. More than one force is eyeing it. You just happened to be there."

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to find the entrance!"

"Cut the fucking nonsense!"

The third son of the Shen family was a hot-tempered person to begin with. Seeing the empty boats on the water, he was already a little anxious. "Just down there? How many people got in?"

Wu Miao Zhu said calmly, "There are at least dozens if not a hundred. Anyway, the news has been leaked, and all the men, women, and children in Baihe Bay have run in."

"I'll leave first. If you're late, you won't even get a sip of soup!"

After saying that, he and the tinsmith rushed into the lake.

"Master, wait for me!"

Shen Jingcan became anxious when he saw this and hurriedly followed behind.

"Good-for-nothing!"

The second son of the Shen family cursed angrily, but at this time he was too hot-blooded to care about anything else. He immediately got off his horse and led everyone to the lake.

They grew up in Liangzi Lake and were naturally good at swimming. They drew their knives, their eyes gleaming with murderous intent, and dived into the water.

Of course, two people were left outside to provide support.

Hululu!
The man was staring at the lake when he suddenly heard a horse neighing from behind.

He turned his head quickly, only to see Lu San already mounted the horse, shook the reins, and rushed into the wind and rain.

But Wuba was too big and didn't know how to ride a horse. As soon as he learned to jump onto a horse, he crushed the horse to the ground.

"Aba Aba..."

Wu Ba was so anxious that he yelled and ran away.

He burst out with hidden strength, using his hands and feet, and ran in the rain like a wild beast, his speed not slowing down at all.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared.

Only the two children of the Shen family were left dumbfounded...

…………

Wow!
Water splashed everywhere and the Shen family climbed out.

They were good at swimming and soon after they reached the bottom of the lake, they found the entrance to the tomb. They crossed a "V"-shaped waterway and climbed out of a pond.

It was dark all around and the stench of corruption filled the air.

"Quick, torches!"

The second son of the Shen family felt inexplicably palpitating and cried out in a low voice.

Although they came in a hurry to hunt for treasure this time, they still prepared everything they needed, such as torches and tinder wrapped in oil paper.

Soon, several torches were lit, illuminating the surroundings.

In front of me is a cave of considerable size. The surrounding stone walls seem to have been corroded by something, and are full of potholes and a metallic luster.

Where they were, stone steps led down into the pool, and all around them were rotten flesh and bones.

There are people and animals, piled up in a mess.

There were broken metal chains on the stone wall in the distance, and the ground was covered with huge stones that looked like some kind of animal eggs.

What surprised them even more was that in front of the passage, there were several corpses lying, cut neatly in the middle with their internal organs scattered all over the ground. They died in a horrible way.

"What...what is this?"

Several Shen family members turned pale and stumbled back in fear. They missed their step and fell into the pond with a splash.

"What a useless thing!"

Seeing this, the third son of the Shen family immediately cursed: "It's just a dead person, what's there to be afraid of? Follow closely and don't run around."

After saying that, he glanced at Wu Miao Zhu and the tinsmith beside him, and his tone was obviously much more relaxed, "You two, this is a trap, right? How do we break it?"

He was not a fool and he realized something was wrong after he came in.

There are many ancient tombs that have been robbed in various parts of China, and some have become deserted tombs. He has also entered the abandoned tombs of kings and princes.

No matter how good it is, it cannot be a palace. Most of the time, it is just a corridor leading to the tomb, with some front rooms, back rooms, ear rooms and the like.

But the one in front of me is definitely weird.

There was still a dark cave ahead. The torches could only illuminate the surroundings, so one could not see how deep it was, not to mention seeing so many dead bodies as soon as one came in.

Wu Miao Zhu glanced at him and said, "I don't know the skills of a local farmer, so how can I understand? If you are afraid, just go back early."

These words made the third son of the Shen family so angry that his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

The tinsmith next to him quickly said, "It is indeed a mechanism, but it has been cracked."

As he spoke, he pointed upwards into the cave.

I saw a circular blade with a chain in the middle, but it was knocked away by some unknown force and was deeply embedded in the stone wall.

Seeing the Shen family members in doubt, the tinsmith sneered and said honestly, "Everyone, there is a trap just after entering. There must be a lot of good things inside."

"Many people have already gone in. Even if there is a trap, it's just their bad luck. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

After saying that, he and Wu Miao Zhu raised their torches and moved forward without hesitation.

Seeing the two of them gradually going away, the second son of the Shen family gritted his teeth and said, "Since we are already here, how can we return empty-handed?"

"Follow them, be careful!"

He was the most authoritative among the crowd, and even the idea of ​​returning to the Shen family after the separation and fighting for the family property was his, so the others habitually obeyed him. Of course, everyone was still extra cautious.

Holding torches and looking left and right along the way, they finally saw the terrain clearly.

It's more like a mine than a tomb.

There are many traces of artificial excavation on the stone walls along the way, but there are more of those strange corrosion pits, large and small, densely packed.

When the firelight shines, it will shine with metallic luster.

The ground was even more uneven. If there were not stone men and stone horses placed every hundred meters, no one would believe that this was a tomb.

However, as they walked, they discovered something was wrong.

The two Wu Miao Zhus in front seemed to be speeding up, and only their silhouettes and torches could be vaguely seen.

"Wait, you two!"

The third son of the Shen family said angrily.

However, the two figures in front were walking faster and faster.

As a last resort, everyone had to speed up their pace.

But at this moment, the shadow in front flickered and split into three human figures and flames, some went to the left, some to the right, and some went straight forward, as if it were a clone technique.

"stop!"

The second son of the Shen family felt inexplicably uneasy and quickly raised his hand.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures and flames all disappeared.

Everyone was terrified. The third son of the Shen family couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Second brother, this... is not a ghost?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he spat on the ground three times.

There are many ghost stories in the countryside, and many people have heard them. Whether you are walking on the road at night or passing by a wild cemetery, the word "ghost" must never be mentioned.

The second son of the Shen family also had a changeable look in his eyes.

"Let's go ahead and take a look."

He knew better than anyone else that at this point, they had no way out. They couldn't go back to the Shen family, and their daily expenses were very high. Some of them even owed gambling debts.

If I don't get the money, it would be worse than death.

Everyone continued to move forward in fear, and when they arrived at the place where Wu Miaozhu had just walked, they suddenly realized what had happened.

It turned out that this was a three-way fork in the road, and on the stone walls of the fork were several huge bronze mirrors inlaid, which created just the right amount of refraction.

But the problem is,

Which passage did Wu Miao Zhu take?

The second son of the Shen family asked people to stand far away and watch.

Sure enough, everyone's shadow was divided into thirds, but no matter which direction they walked from, they would present the same light and shadow.

The ground here is slippery and there are no footprints to be seen.

"Go to the middle section first!"

The second son of the Shen family gritted his teeth and led everyone into the middle passage.

The firelight gradually faded away, and what they didn't notice was that their shadows that had originally left on the bronze mirror reappeared one by one.

Everyone's face was pale, with a grim smile on their lips...

…………

Rumble!
There was a roar of thunder and heavy rain poured down on the official road.

Lu San lowered his body, rode his horse at full speed, and did not slow down even though the raindrops hit his face.

The little white fox grabbed his clothes tightly from behind and was swung up and down. The savage Wu Ba ran so fast that his skin turned red.

However, none of them dared to complain.

Although they were only close to Lu San and kept their distance from Li Yan on weekdays, they also knew who the real leader of this team was.

Now that Li Yan is in trouble, Lu San is naturally anxious.

Finally, the faint light of candles appeared in front.

It is Shenjiaba.

It would have been faster to take a boat, but Lu San knew that the center of Liangzi Lake had become a very dangerous place, and with his strength, he would be trapped in it.

Outside the Shen family mansion, two white lanterns were swaying.

The stage was also pitch black.

Originally, there was going to be a play tonight, but the weather in summer is changeable, and even the most experienced farmers did not expect it to rain suddenly.

The idea of ​​singing opera had to be abandoned.

Boom boom boom!
Lu San knocked open the door of the Shen family, and before the servants could ask, he immediately rushed in and found Wang Daoxuan who was reading a book. His face was solemn and he said, "Something happened!"

Wang Daoxuan's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"

Lu San briefly recounted the incident, and then said in a deep voice: "I asked the wild spirit in the lake, because the center of the lake has become a very dangerous place, and all the lonely ghosts in Gaochang County were trapped in it."

"Whenever there is a rainstorm, they will go into a frenzy. This time, they were stimulated by the 'Centipede' and exploded prematurely, dragging Brother Yan into the formation."

Wang Daoxuan was also troubled by what he heard. "This...what should I do?"

Lu San said in a deep voice: "I wanted to ask the wild gods in the lake for help, but the black-headed king didn't dare to get close unless he could appease or lead away those wild ghosts."

"We don't have much time. The ghost town in the lake will only appear during heavy rains. We don't know when the next time will be. We must rescue Brother Yan tonight."

"Does the Taoist have any solution?"

"Don't worry, let me think about it..."

Wang Daoxuan's heart was also pounding, and he forced himself to calm down. "Brother Yan is a living ghost messenger. Once the ghost soldiers come out, how can they be afraid of the ghost town? Now he hasn't come out yet, there must be another reason."

Lu San said in a deep voice: "No matter what, I will go in and save them, but I can't think of a way to lure away the ghosts."

At this moment, Shen Jinghong, who got the news, also hurried over.

The Shen family is currently holding a funeral, and many people are trapped in the house due to the heavy rain. When they heard that something had happened, some people who were curious about the situation came over to watch the fun.

Wang Daoxuan was feeling worried, but when he saw a man peeking from behind Shen Jinghong, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly stepped forward.

"Boss Wu, are you willing to take this job for five thousand taels of silver?"

"Five thousand taels?"

This Wu is the owner of a Han opera troupe in Jiangxia County. When he heard Wang Daoxuan's words, his eyes lit up immediately, "Of course I'll take it. What kind of work is it?"

"Simple!"

Wang Daoxuan said, “Sing a ghost show!”

"what?!"

When Class Leader Wu heard this, his face turned pale.

……

Half an hour later, at Shenjiaba Ferry.

There is a large tiled house nearby. It was originally an old house, but later half of it collapsed and was used as a stage.

At this moment, the stage has been simply decorated.

The members of the troupe have already put on their roles, and they are all feeling uneasy.

Although Wu Banzhu had agreed to the offer after being lured by a large sum of money, he was still worried. "Master, this place faces north and is the most dangerous 'Yintai'. Will it work?"

The orientation of the stage is very particular.

The one facing south and east is called "Yantai", the one facing north is called "Yintai", and the one facing west is called "Baihutai".

The saying goes "If you want to get rich, you should avoid Baihutai" because Baihutai is prone to accidents and quarrels and fights.

The most ferocious one is undoubtedly the "Yin Tai".

Singing opera originated from entertaining gods.
Using the "Yintai" might attract something.

"rest assured."

Wang Daoxuan glanced at Liangzi Lake in the rain waterfall and said, "As long as you follow the rules, performing ghost plays is not that dangerous."

"Remember, no matter what you see, the show must be finished!"
