There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 283: The wooden crisis of Gongshu
Tengcheng.

This is a city that carries the origin of the Gongshu lineage. In the past, a master used some means to cut a piece of debris from the complete ruins, and then there came into being a blessed land that belonged exclusively to the Gongshu lineage, ensuring the continuous inheritance of the bloodline.

At this moment, Lu Yue was anxiously driving to Tengcheng overnight.

He can't sleep!!!

He seriously suspected that his horoscope was in conflict with the Gongshu lineage.

I finally trusted the other person once, but I didn't expect him to do something weird again.

If he loses this magical tree, he will suffer a huge loss.

Along the way, Lu Yue had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He even suspected that the Gongshu lineage was holding a grudge against him because of the last incident. But then he thought again, the other party is a bloodline family with a long heritage and a great positive reputation in the circle of extraordinary people. They should not be so shameless.

Moreover, Doctor Zhang had said before that although the Gongshu lineage was a little eccentric, bad-tempered, and pedantic, it was a family that adhered to rules very well.

No rules, no standards.

If the Muchui branch that Lu Yue killed had not done anything illegal, the law, reason and emotion would be in the hands of the Gongshu branch. Even if Lu Yue brought up Doctor Zhang and Taoist Fang behind their backs, the Gongshu branch would still fight to the end.

These bloodline families passed down from ancient times all care a lot about family reputation.

It is absolutely impossible to make them surrender by force alone.

Along the way, Lu Yue kept calling back to contact the other party.

But no one answered the call.

Finally, Lu Yue arrived in Tengcheng.

As he didn't know the exact location of the Gongshu lineage, he got off the bus early. While waiting for the call, he carefully looked around the city where the Gongshu lineage was fully responsible for handling supernatural events and maintaining the safety of the extraordinary people.

Along the way, he found that the citizens of this city were very comfortable, enjoying a kind of leisure and tranquility that was hard to find in other cities. In the park, old men were playing chess, walking their dogs, or taking out rattan chairs to bask in the sun on the grass.

A scene of prosperity and prosperity.

Although I have a bad impression of the Gongshu lineage, to be honest, the safety factor of the cities they are responsible for is higher than that of most cities.

Lu Yue began to search local news and finally found some clues.

Tengcheng, which has always been peaceful, has recently seen frequent bizarre incidents.

A husband who suspected his wife of having an affair secretly put a surveillance camera in the bedroom. He actually found the adulterer and his wife having an affair. The husband called his friends to block the door, ready to catch the adulterer in bed. But when they entered the bedroom, they only saw the messy bed and the terrified wife, but not the adulterer. It was not until the husband opened the closet that he saw a pile of minced meat...

In addition, there are many similar news.

A worker went home and lay in bed after a busy day. The next day, his neighbors smelled blood and called the police. They found the man dead on the wooden bed, his body torn into pieces. It was hard to imagine what kind of hatred the murderer had towards the victim, and the murderer has not been found yet.

There were also newlyweds who returned to their hometown’s old house for their honeymoon and both died.

A carpenter died tragically in his studio...

The more you watch the incident, the more frightening it becomes. This supernatural incident involves a wide range of people, almost covering the entire Tengcheng. If this situation is allowed to spread, it will become a large-scale supernatural incident, and more and more people will die.

What kind of ghost is behind this?

Just as Lu Yue was guessing, a loud noise interrupted his thoughts.

Then, a reminder sound of [Source Energy +1] rang in his mind.

Is there a ghost death nearby?
What puzzled Lu Yue was that he didn't sense any Yin energy.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dead man lying on the ground on the other side of the street with two chopsticks stuck in his back, and his companions standing beside him, looking at their bewildered state.

According to the description of people around, the cause was that the deceased and his companion were eating and paying the bill. They were both vying to pay the 30 yuan for noodles. Amid the shoving and shouting, the companion killed his friend in order to pay.

Lu Yue almost couldn't hold back his emotion after hearing the cause of the death.

Just to grab a thirty-dollar bill, he killed his friend.

However, the friend who committed the crime kept waving his hands in panic to indicate that he did not kill anyone, but that the chopsticks flew up and killed the victim for unknown reasons.

Naturally, the people around did not believe this statement.

Can chopsticks kill people themselves?
Bullshit!

It was obvious that he had a personal grudge against the deceased, and paying the bill was just an excuse. Perhaps he was borrowing money or was cuckolding. Everyone was imagining things for a while.

Lu Yue, who was observing the dead body in the crowd, suddenly frowned.

He discovered that the deceased was just an ordinary person, not a ghost or a supernatural being.

Can ordinary people also generate source energy after death?

He had been to the funeral home and the car accident scene but didn't get any energy.

It was from then on that he came to the conclusion that ordinary people did not have source energy.

But now it seems that maybe I was just unlucky at that time.

After all, he had only tried it once, and later discovered that the inpatient department could generate source energy steadily, so naturally he did not verify whether ordinary people could generate source energy after death.

The current situation is the same as that of the extraordinary people.
Some parts have source gas, while others do not.

Because a murder occurred on the street, the scene was soon surrounded by patrol cars. These were not the standard ambulances of the Demon Suppression Bureau. A middle-aged man dressed as a carpenter got out of the car. He seemed to have a much higher status than those security guards.

The security guard maintained order at the scene, while the middle-aged man dressed as a carpenter entered the scene of death and stared at the pair of chopsticks as if facing something terrible. Finally, he took out an axe and chopped the chopsticks in pieces.

[Source Energy +1]

Lu Yue was confused.

The pair of chopsticks actually contained energy.

This is definitely not an evil weapon!!!
After dealing with all this, the carpenter felt relieved and set fire to the chopsticks, then hurriedly left the scene, leaving the security guard to handle the follow-up matters.

Just then, Lu Yue's cell phone finally rang.

It was the strange phone call from last night.

The other party apologized on the phone, claiming that he had something to do before and was temporarily free now. He also asked Lu Yue to meet him at a location and would explain the situation in detail at that time.

Lu Yue hung up the phone and rushed to the location according to the other party's instructions.

Soon, he arrived at the outskirts of a village and found that it was full of extraordinary people, and they were all members of the Gongshu clan, but these people were all in tattered clothes and looked haggard, as if they had just withdrawn from a battle.

Lu Yue soon met the contact person who called.

A young man in his early twenties.

After verifying Lu Yue's identity, the young man led him into the village and told him the reason for his call yesterday.

All this was actually related to the magical wood that Lu Yue sent.

Ever since the Gongshu family received the fairy wood sent by Lu Yue via official express delivery, the older generation of carpenters quickly formed a fairy wood observation team to observe this mythical fairy wood up close.

After several days of admiring it, the old carpenter finally started to build it.

The completion time reported to Lu Yue was half a month.

But in fact, the finished product made by Xianmu was completed a week ago.

Just like Elder Jinchi in Journey to the West who was reluctant to part with Monk Tang's cassock, the Gongshu clan also couldn't let go of this work and decided to watch it for a while.

Just by observing this, something went wrong.

The young carpenter didn't know the specific details, but from that day on, all the wooden objects in the ruins came to life and started killing people everywhere.

Gongshu main vein issued an emergency order.

All branches, regardless of north or south, and all members, young or old, had the responsibility to defend Tengcheng. With one order, all the Gongshu branches began to set out towards Tengcheng.

Defend the city, the land of carpentry tradition.

The young man who called Lu Yue was a young genius from one of the branches. After receiving the order, he and other members of the branch quickly rushed over. At first, the battle line was still inside the ruins, but soon they could no longer hold on.

Although there are many carpenters in the world, there are not many who have true extraordinary bloodlines. Moreover, the ruins fragments serve as the blessed land, heritage and warehouse of the Gongshu clan, and the wooden artifacts stored in them are numerous and of high quality.

After this creature that had existed for thousands of years was resurrected, it began to kill people crazily.

Just ask who can stop it?
In the end, the Gongshu lineage had to close the fragments of the ruins and let the masters above the seventh level of the Shenzang stay inside to find a solution, while the middle and low-level extraordinary people cleaned up the escaped wooden objects on the periphery.

As a result, the villages outside the ruins were temporarily requisitioned as strongholds.

Used to set up a defense line to prevent the fine wooden artifacts in the ruins from escaping.

The young man had just come down from the defense line at this time, and only then did he realize that Lu Yue had called him many times, so he immediately took Lu Yue to meet his elders.

Since all masters above the seventh level of Shenzang have entered the ruins fragments, the person in charge of each stronghold is at most at the sixth level of Shenzang.

Before he got close to Lu Yue, he heard a violent quarrel.

"The front line is in crisis. When will the reinforcements arrive? Why are there only a few of them?"

"Other bases are even more short of manpower, and we have already transferred some people there."

"Without people, how can we defend this line? Keep calling for help, and have the branches everywhere dispatch a group of people to come up. As long as they can walk, they must crawl over here. Tengcheng is the birthplace of our Gongshu clan, and it is our face. We must not let it fall and let others laugh at it!"

Several centenarian carpenters were glaring and spitting.

At this time, another member of the tribe rushed in to report that the power leaked from the ruins fragments had spread to the ordinary wooden objects in the city, causing those wooden objects to begin to awaken and kill people, and there was a tendency to spread to the entire city.

The news came like a bolt from the blue.

Several centenarian carpenters were so anxious that their faces turned red, and they finally collapsed to the ground without suffocating. Fortunately, their clansmen came to rescue them and brought them back from the brink of death.

After the old carpenter woke up, his eyes were bloodshot. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted that he would defend Tengcheng even if he shed his last drop of blood, and vowed to live and die with Tengcheng.

Gongshu was a valiant man, and he joined his clan in the crisis.

Tell our ancestors that there are no cowards in the Gongshu lineage.

Lu Yue, who had just arrived, was silent, then interrupted and said, "Such a big thing has happened in Tengcheng, why don't you notify the Demon Suppression Division and let them intervene?"

An old man named Gongshu, who was being executed heroically, retorted in a stern voice: "Our Gongshu clan has been passed down for thousands of years and spread all over the world. Tengcheng is our root and we have never needed the intervention of the Demon Suppression Division. If we go to them now, where will our Gongshu clan put its reputation for thousands of years?"

“What’s more, once the Demon Suppression Division comes, we will have an excuse to establish a branch of the Demon Suppression Division in Tengcheng. Is this Tengcheng still the Tengcheng of our Gongshu lineage… Wait, who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?!!”

It was only then that the old man noticed that Lu Yue was not a member of the tribe.

Lu Yue said calmly: "My name is Lu Yue. This time I came here to take the handle of the immortal tree. I think the Gongshu lineage with thousands of years of history will not covet my immortal tree, right?"

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded Gongshu shut up instantly, his expression bitter as if he had eaten bitter melon. Finally, he stretched his neck and said with a red face: "We in the Gongshu clan never do things that damage our reputation, but the current situation is special, why don't you wait a little longer..."

For these elderly people, family honor is everything.

Even at the cost of one's life, one must protect the family's reputation.

No rules, no standards.

The last time the Muchui branch did some shameful things, it had already ruined the reputation of Gongshu. They had originally thought of helping Lu Yue forge the fairy wood for free this time to gain a good reputation, and also to promote Gongshu's reputation for making tools, so the whole clan attached great importance to this matter.

Although the sacred tree is rare, one should not be so greedy as to tarnish Gongshu's reputation by taking it.

They just wanted to delay until the last minute before handing the finished product to Lu Yue.

No one expected this catastrophe to happen.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely stagnant and no one dared to speak, but the disaster that Tengcheng was currently experiencing would not wait for anyone. Every second that passed would worsen the situation. If they failed to deal with it properly, the Gongshu lineage would not only lose its foundation but also its reputation.

"Well, I'll think of a solution for you."

"You all know that the longer the turmoil in Tengcheng is delayed, the harder it will be to resolve. By then, Gongshu will lose far more than you expected. Since you are unwilling to seek help from the Demon Suppression Division, you can find other extraordinary people to help you resolve the crisis outside."

"Nominally, it is still your Gongshu clan that is handling things."

Pay to hire?

The old man with a white beard frowned slightly and whispered to Lu Yue to continue.

"I have a private channel. As long as you are willing to pay, I can immediately gather a group of extraordinary people..."

Lu Yue mentioned the Red Flower Society. There are now more than a hundred people in the Red Flower Society. Although most of them are of average strength, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary wooden objects in Tengcheng that are affected by the fragments of the ruins.

Doing good deeds and making money are not in conflict. The people who are chosen by the Security Bear are originally citizens with a sense of justice. They have signed contracts with the official Demon Suppression Bureau. It is for this reason that Lu Yue lets these people take over supernatural events in other cities, which allows them to make money to support their families and uphold justice.

Only with an economic foundation can justice be better promoted.

Help the bloodline family that has been passed down for thousands of years to overcome difficulties.

Winning this order is undoubtedly a highlight in Honghuahui’s resume.

"Sure, no problem!!!" The old man with a white beard agreed immediately.

Given the Gongshu clan's face-conscious nature, they would never let those new-age transcendents take action on this matter because they couldn't bring themselves to do so.

But it was Lu Yue who proposed this.

They were already in the wrong towards Lu Yue, so naturally they couldn't say much.

The most important thing is that the situation is urgent and this is the only thing we can do.

Moreover, the Gongshu clan has a long heritage and is famous for its instrument making. I cannot say anything else, but their financial resources are definitely strong. They spend money to hire other extraordinary people to help, but in name, it is still the Gongshu clan that is cleaning up their own mess.

This way, you can recover some losses and preserve your reputation.

Therefore, Lu Yue quickly contacted the security officer and asked everyone to go to Tengcheng.

But it was not safe to rely on the people from the Red Flower Society alone, so Lu Yue informed Doctor Zhang and asked him to coordinate with some people from the Demon Suppression Bureau to take off their uniforms, put on casual clothes, and disguise themselves as members of the Red Flower Society.

Lu Yue will not enjoy this honor alone.

Everyone must be able to make some extra money.

This time, we must make the Gongshu meridian bleed profusely.

As for whether Lu Yue's behavior of allowing the people from the Demon Suppression Division to make extra money would be discovered, it would definitely be discovered, but some windows cannot be broken, and even if the Gongshu lineage saw it, they would pretend not to see it.

At this moment, it will be useless even if you take out your Demon Suppression Division ID.

You are from the Red Flower Society!!

I paid you to do this.

what?
Do you have a Demon Suppression Division ID?
I offer double the price, now change your words and say you are a folk extraordinary person.

If double is not enough, triple it!!!
In a word, you are not here to save the day, and my Gongshu lineage is not incapable of solving this problem. We are just conserving our strength for the future catastrophe.

Spending money to hire people is also a reflection of strength.

In Tengcheng, the Gongshu lineage cannot lose face.

After doing all this, Lu Yue and the Gongshu people who were changing guard headed towards the front line.

He was also very curious about what had happened. The strength of the Gongshu lineage, which had been passed down for thousands of years, was actually not weak, so what kind of crisis had caused them such a headache?
