Chapter 12 Master Zhu

"Master, now that we've discovered them, why don't we just get rid of them all at once? Let's see how these filthy creatures can harm others!" Fu Lu was puzzled. "Why do we have to put them back to their original place in a nice way?"

"Recently, rumors about ghost immortals have been getting more and more intense in Qingshui County, and the number of lives involved is not limited to the one we discovered last night.

After killing someone, the murderer braved the heavy rain at night to carry away the body. He didn't want the news of someone dying in the Ghost Temple to spread. Perhaps he wanted to use the same trick again in the future.

If we shovel all of this out and smash the jar, how can we catch the turtle?" Lu Qing waved at the talisman, "Go quickly."

Fu Lu also understood what was going on at this moment, and hurriedly got some mud together with Fu Wen, and lay on the altar to carefully block the bamboo tube hidden inside. He then carefully pushed the statue back to its original place and carefully wiped off all the marks on the altar.

Zhu Yu felt a little tired after standing for a long time, so he simply sat down on the straw and waited, his elbows resting on his legs, his hands supporting his cheek, staring blankly.

The deceased had lost most of his blood the night before when he was dying, but there was very little blood on the ground.

Last night, when Zhu Yu tossed and turned in bed, he was still wondering where the blood had gone.

When she heard Fu Wen say today that he smelled a bloody odor before the strange fragrance, she had a rough guess in her heart.

Just why?

Why add human blood when using aphrodisiac incense? Is this some strange inducement?

When it comes to autopsies and examinations of injuries, Zhu Yu feels that she is well-equipped and it is a piece of cake, but when it comes to things like drugs and poisons, she knows nothing about them.

When she came to her senses, the two brothers Fu Wen and Fu Lu had already finished those things. They brushed off the dust on their hands and bodies, and looked at Lu Qing in unison, waiting for him to speak.

Zhu Yu stood up and went to take a look, and found that the talisman had deliberately gone around to the back and plugged the rat hole that he had just dug with his own hands.

She was secretly surprised. She didn't expect that such a big and strong man could be so careful in doing things.

Lu Qing stood in front of the statue, his eyes fixed on the place where the body had been found the night before. He seemed to be thinking about something and did not speak for a long time.

"Master..." Fu Wen waited for a moment and then asked, "Do we need to alert the government officials here?"

"No need. I originally thought that after discovering the body, I would see how the government here would deal with it. Now that the body is missing, there is no need to alert them so early." Lu Qing didn't know what he had just thought of, but now his brows relaxed. He turned around and said to Fu Wen, "Search carefully in this area, and look for places that are less visited to see if you can find the murderer's hiding place."

"Then this Ghost Fairy Temple... doesn't require me to secretly guard here?" Fu Wen didn't dare disobey Lu Qing's orders, but he felt a little unwilling. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, obviously still annoyed by the fact that he had been knocked unconscious. "What if that guy uses the same trick again? We have blocked the bamboo tube that released the incense. As long as I'm lying in ambush nearby, I will be able to capture him as soon as he shows up!"

"Where around this dilapidated temple are you planning to guard secretly?" Lu Qing asked back.

Fu Wen opened his mouth and found that he really couldn't answer this question.

There was no shelter around this dilapidated temple except for a small forest at the back. It could be a hiding place at night, but it couldn't hide anything during the day.

Not to mention the dilapidated temple itself. Although it is called a temple, it is actually just a low rammed earth house. The tiles on top have probably become brittle over the years, making it not very convenient to lie down on it.

"The fact that they can set up such a trap in this dilapidated temple shows that they are more familiar with this area than you." Lu Qing shook his head at Fu Wen, "How can you wait for an opportunity in a place that they are more familiar with?" After hearing what Lu Qing said, Fu Wen was a little discouraged, but he also recognized the situation in front of him and nodded, "Master, I am too impatient!

Don't worry, I will definitely find the place where the body is hidden! Just wait for my news!"

After saying that, he clasped his fists and rushed out, but just as he took a step, Lu Qing grabbed the back of his clothes and pulled him back.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. You should be awake after such a long time. Go to the talisman bag and get some dry clothes to change into before leaving." Lu Qing pushed the rune toward the talisman, feeling a little helpless.

It was obvious that Fu Wen was indeed holding his breath. He hurriedly took some dry clothes and ran to the back to change into them. Then he set off first and soon disappeared.

Lu Qing walked to the gate of the dilapidated temple, looked outside at the sun in the sky, turned to Zhu Yu and said, "Would you like to accompany me to the nearby Qingshui County for a walk?"

Looking at his leisurely look and light tone, someone who didn't know him would have thought that he was taking Zhu Yu for an outing.

After the heart-to-heart talk the night before, Zhu Yu naturally wouldn't refuse. He gave Lu Qing a "sincere" smile and said, "I'm happy to do it."

Lu Qing smiled back at her and then instructed the talisman, "From now on, when you are out and about, Madam will be my personal assistant. You must address her as Second Master Zhu."

On the day of his master's wedding, Fu Lu was shocked by the ability of a commoner who appeared out of nowhere at the banquet to "revive the dead". Later, when he found out that the man was actually his newly married wife, he almost bit his tongue.

The night before, I watched my wife calmly examine the corpse. Her knowledge and courage were beyond the reach of ordinary women. I was already full of admiration for her.

He was originally a rough man who practiced martial arts. In his daily life, he was not particular about details except for Lu Qing's rules, and he was most impatient with red tape and rules.

Hearing Lu Qing say that his powerful wife would act as "Second Master Zhu" in the future, he felt inexplicably excited and wished for more opportunities to broaden his horizons. He didn't care about anything else.

"Yes!" Fu Lu grinned and clasped his fists towards Zhu Yu in a serious manner, "This subordinate greets Master Zhu!

"Master Zhu, please rest assured. As long as I have my talisman with me outside, I will definitely protect you!"

"Thank you for your help!" Zhu Yu also returned the greeting to the talisman with a smile.

Putting aside his own wish to be a rich and idle person, just Lu Qing's shocking way of employing people and the attitude of his close followers towards him made Zhu Yu look at him differently.

Before she got married, when she was at her parents' home in Shuo State, she had accidentally revealed some intelligence and courage that were different from other women, but her father and brothers mostly took the attitude of "What can a woman like you know?" and ignored her and just laughed it off.

The feeling of being looked down upon is really infuriating.

Wanting to keep a low profile and others treating her as if she were nothing are two completely different things.

For this reason, she was a little more understanding of Lu Qing's previous behavior of secretly adding tranquilizing powder into her tea.
