Chapter 39 Conspiracy
He saw a bloody, pale figure hanging behind him.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a good thing that he is a young man. If he were an old man or a woman, he would have fainted or peed himself with fright. However, he was also frightened to the point of howling on the spot, and the sound shook the whole world.

"There's a ghost, help!!!"

Although it was the middle of the night, his shout made quite a noise. Except for a few who were sleeping soundly, most of the people in the Lu Mansion were alarmed.

Soon someone came following the sound, but only saw an unconscious guy.

How should I put it? It's a bit strange, but if there is no follow-up to this kind of mysterious thing, it will probably just be spread for a while.

But the next night, the guy who claimed to have seen a ghost in the middle of the night mysteriously disappeared.

And this was just the beginning. From this day on, a servant would disappear every night.

The entire Lu Mansion was in a panic. Master Lu quickly contacted the local authorities and sent the captain of the police to investigate. However, no one could be sure about such things. There was not a single clue. The only clue was that he encountered a ghost in the kitchen that night.

Seeing that the people in the yamen were unreliable, Master Lu was really at a loss and could only send his servants to Guangde Temple for help. After all, if they could deal with demons and evil spirits, a monk or Taoist priest like you would be able to help.

Besides, the people living at the foot of the mountain all know that the masters of Guangde Temple are highly skilled in martial arts. If someone is causing trouble and it is not caused by ghosts, then the possibility that you heroes will be able to see through it is much greater.

So Mr. Lu arranged for Lu Shiqi, who grew up in the Lu Mansion and was loyal to the Lu Mansion, to come and report the news and ask for help.

As for why Lu Shiqi was so scared when he came, it must be because he had an accident on the way here!

Just as he asked this question, the head monks of the Dharma Academy and the Vinaya Academy, Fa Zheng and Fa Zhen, came together.

"What happened?" Fa Zheng asked.

Mingxin clasped his hands together and said, "Reporting to the head monk, this donor, Mr. Lu, is from Lujiazhuang down the mountain. He said that many people have disappeared from his mansion today, and there are rumors of ghosts. He would like to ask the senior monks of our temple for help."

After saying that, he reorganized Lu Shiqi's words and said them out loud verbatim.

"Haunted?" Fa Zheng frowned slightly and asked, "Is Lu Shanhu from your Lu family here?"

Lu Shiqi glanced at the righteous Fa Zheng and replied cautiously, "The Second Young Master is out traveling and hasn't returned yet."

Fa Zhen asked, "Brother, do you think someone is deliberately causing trouble or is this really a haunted place?"

"I think people's hearts are like devils." Fa Zheng said seriously.

Lu Shiqi emphasized, "Master, there really is a ghost. We all saw it. A female ghost in white was flying all over the room. Master Lu was unconscious. I was even chased by a ghost on the way here."

Fa Zheng snorted coldly upon hearing this and said, "Then you must have ulterior motives. Otherwise, how could you have arrived safely?"

"Brother, are you saying that there is a conspiracy behind this?" Fazhen asked back.

"Oh, no matter whether he is a human or a ghost, no matter what conspiracy he has, we can't sit idly by. Since he has offended our Guangde Temple, we will definitely take care of this matter!" Fa Zheng said in a decisive tone, his words full of convincing power.

"Minghui, go report this to the abbot. Mingzhi, go inform your uncles Faying and Fayan."

"Yes!" The two agreed and left. Fa Zheng looked around and said.

"Mingxin, Mingjing, you have only been practicing martial arts for a short time. Take this donor to the Zen room to rest. The rest of you, let's go to the Lu family and see what this 'demon' is!"

"Yes!" Mingxin and Mingjing also responded and took Lu Shiqi to the meditation room. Seeing Lu Shiqi being taken away, Fazhen lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Fazheng, if there really is a ghost, how should we deal with it?"

"Impossible. Without the accumulation of negative energy, evil spirits and resentment, the possibility of ghosts appearing is extremely small." Fa Zheng replied.

"But what if something unexpected happens?" Fazhen asked.

"If there really is a ghost causing trouble, I guess it must be a newborn ghost. It is already midnight, and it won't be too far from dawn when they arrive. With the power of Faying and Fayan, we can hold on for a while. We can ask the abbot to help it reincarnate tomorrow." Fazheng replied.

Fa Zhen nodded and said, "Brother, you have thought it through thoroughly. Fa Ying is experienced in the martial arts world and has mastered the Great Stone Smashing Hand. Junior Brother Fa Yan has diligently practiced the Great Light Fist, which has the ability to restrain ghosts. I don't expect any accidents to happen."

Buddhist temple.

Li Ming settled Lu Shiqi down and was about to leave, but Lu Shiqi's face was full of fear and he said he didn't want to stay in a room alone no matter what.

Ming Jing had no other choice but to say to Li Ming, "Junior brother, you go back and rest. I'm here. I'll stay with this donor overnight."

Li Ming thought about it, didn't say much, and left on his own.

But just after he walked away, Lu Shiqi, who had a frightened face, suddenly became calm.

Ming Jing took a deep breath, turned her back, and said, "Why bother looking for me?"

"Because your last name is Dongfang!!!" Lu Shiqi's expression changed completely at this moment. The flickering lights flickered, and his face looked like a giant beast that was choosing its prey.

"I have been here for almost ten years with mediocre qualifications. Now I am just an ordinary monk. What can I do?" Ming Jing said.

Lu Shiqi sneered and said, "You can. There are many things you can do! Here is a bottle of bone-dissolving powder. Tomorrow you will find a way to get it into the water."

"Bone-dissolving powder?" Mingjing's face changed.

"What? Are you chanting Buddha's name out of compassion? Why don't you think about the faces of these hypocritical righteous people after the death of our ancestor? My Dongfang family has been scattered and divided, and it is inevitable that these people are secretly fanning the flames. Now you are feeling compassionate? Hmm?" Lu Shiqi asked with a gloomy face.

Ming Jing sighed and said, "But these little monks are innocent."

"Oh, don't worry. With the medicinal properties of the bone-dissolving powder in your hand, it won't kill people after being diluted with well water. It's just an initiator. It will only work when combined with the Seven-Incense. And it has only one characteristic, which is that it makes people's muscles and bones sore and weak, and they can only exert less than 10% of their full strength. That's all." Lu Shiqi said.

Ming Jing frowned and asked, "Can this medicine still be used against the abbot? What other tricks do you have?"

"Don't worry about that. Once you've done this, you can come down the mountain with me."

"Go down the mountain?" Mingjing's expression became extremely complicated.

"When I didn't want to go up the mountain, you made me go up the mountain. When I wanted to go down the mountain, you didn't let me go down the mountain. But now when I want to stay, you tell me I can go down the mountain. Haha."

Mingjing sneered mockingly.

Lu Shiqi looked at them coldly, then said, "Have you laughed enough? This is our fate, we must accept it!"

"Life? Haha." Ming Jing still sneered, but reached out to take the small porcelain bottle from Lu Shiqi's hand.
