PDLP Chapter 160: Duanmu's Death
Chapter 160: Duanmu's Death
"Okay, let's go there."
Lu Chen agreed to come down, and the ghost beauty led him out of the gradually bustling flower building through the back door, along a corridor, and into a simple and elegant courtyard.
Clean and tidy.
Spacious and unpretentious.
Lu Chen nodded silently, turned around, and reached out to take off the face scarf on the other person's face. The ghost beauty retreated subconsciously, but saw Lu Chen take out a white jade porcelain bottle, and said shamefully:
"You... what are you going to do?"
Lu Chen uncorked the bottle and explained:
"This is the second-grade jade dew. It can life and death human flesh and bones. It is very precious. It has only condensed more than a hundred drops in ten years. It may be able to remove the black marks on your face."
"Really...really?"
"Um!"
Seeing Lu Chen nodding seriously, the ghost beauty hesitated and said:
"I... what should I do?"
"Bring your face closer."
"Closer!"
Lu Chen put a drop of jade dew on the other person's face, rubbed it lightly, and slowly melted away, and saw that the original black mark gradually faded a little, but it couldn't be eradicated.
There is no woman who does not love beauty, and Ghost Beauty is no exception. She said anxiously:
"How about it?"
"It's lightened a little, but if you want to completely remove it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of money."
Hearing the words, the ghost beauty quickly turned into a ball of clear water, took a careful photo, was surprised and delighted, carefully glanced at Lu Chen, and said wittily:
"what should I do?"
"Just help me do my best."
"good!"
Gui Meiren breathed a sigh of relief, and made up her mind to help Lu Chen do a good job. Just as she was about to turn around and return to the flower building, she heard a magic sound in her ears, and her body froze in place.
"A good night is too short, tonight... come here and help me warm my bed..."
…
"no!"
"Can't!"
"Woo woo woo~~"
In the middle of the night, the ghostly beauty escaped from Lu Chen's clutches by transforming into a colorful [Beautiful Swallow Butterfly], and flew into the third floor of the flower building. Just as she transformed into a human form, a mournful scream suddenly spread throughout the flower building. The flower building fell silent suddenly, and even Lu Chen in the backyard could faintly hear the movement.
"Tap Tat ~ ~"
A middle-aged beautiful woman stumbled and ran over.
"What's the matter? Aunt Xue."
The ghost beauty straightened her clothes, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and the middle-aged beautiful woman said in horror: "No...it's not good, the landlord, just now the second city lord tortured...killed Amei."
"Duanmu Heng?"
"Yes!"
The ghost beauty felt depressed for a while, rubbed the center of her brows with her slender hands, and asked:
"Take it?"
"Before we got in, people had already escaped through the window."
The ghost beauty sighed, and ordered:
"Bury him well. If you have relatives, take care of them more. Tomorrow, you take someone to the city lord's mansion and report the matter to us. You have to ask for an explanation from Hualou, even if this is Linjiang Cheng, even if the other party is The second city lord, but he can't let him do whatever he wants."
"yes!"
The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, and finally managed to calm down.
"Go down!"
The ghost beauty waved the other party to leave, took off the veil by herself, took a bronze mirror and looked at it seriously.
…
In the early morning of the second day, the ghost beauty entered the backyard of Hualou with a food box. When she entered the door, she saw a terrifying figure with her upper body naked, sitting cross-legged in the yard, doing strange movements.
Or twist your arms.
Or knead the muscles and bones.
The ghost beauty was startled, and almost turned around and ran away, but after seeing the other person's face clearly, she was relieved a little, resisting her fear, and placed the food box on the table.
After Lu Chen finished a set of movements, his body swayed, and the main body appeared outside.
The ghost beauty breathed a sigh of relief, and asked cautiously:
"What kind of monster are you?"
"You are the monster."
Lu Chen rolled his eyes, sat down on the stone bench, and shouted towards the room:
"Yaoyao, come and eat soon."
He also explained: "I am a human being, and what I practice is physical exercise, not some monster."
"oh!"
The ghost beauty was stunned, and asked curiously:
"What's your relationship with your wife?"
"..."
Lu Chen smiled without saying a word, took the bamboo chopsticks, ate a mouthful of tofu curd, and asked:
"What happened last night?"
The ghost beauty didn't hide anything, and explained: "It's Duan Muheng, the second city lord. He is a frequent visitor to our Hualou. Send someone to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for an explanation."
Lu Chen frowned and said:
"It is said that the three disciples of Master Baishui are all amazing, how could they hit such a heavy hand on an innocent woman?"
"That was before."
The ghost beauty sighed and said with a sneer:
"In the past, Baishui was restrained by the real person, and he looked like a human being. Since the real person's Closed Door Training three years ago, it has changed a lot. The other two are okay. They always have to take care of their faces and behave fairly. This Duanmuheng is not. He is lawless, before in Hualou, he would torture people to the point of breaking limbs, fortunately, he never killed anyone, and he was willing to take panacea, but now, he is more and more wanton."
"Tell me in detail."
"On the surface, Linjiang Cheng is controlled by Duan Muci, the great city lord, but in fact it's just trivial matters. Once it involves military affairs, three people need to negotiate together to check and balance each other. It is said that Baishui real person supports Linjiang Cheng. Although it is true, but In fact, Master Baishui seldom makes a move, and Linjiang Cheng's real background is a secret realm."
"Secret realm?"
"right!"
The ghost beauty nodded and said with emotion:
"That is a third-level secret realm called [燹(xiǎn) Bone Grave Mound]. Baishui Master relied on this secret realm to train a reborn elite soldier, scattered like quicksand, roaring into formations, every one They are all extremely powerful, single-handedly they can rival the cultivators of the second realm, once gathered together, they will overwhelm Master Tongxuan, it is said that there are ninety-nine of them in total, and each disciple controls thirty-three of them, all of them can rival the cultivators of the third realm."
"Bone Bone Mound..."
No wonder even Baishui real person Closed Door Training, Lin Jiang Cheng can be as stable as ever, with this third-level secret realm, this is equivalent to three third-level secret realms, even Lu Chen dare not provoke him head-on.
"Closed Door Training for three years..."
Lu Chen's eyes flickered, one Closed Door Training was three years, or...something happened.
"big brother~~"
Meng Yao rubbed her big sleepy eyes and flew over from the room, landed on the table, her big eyes lit up immediately:
"Wow, so rich~~"
"Eat quickly."
"Hmm~~"
Meng Yao nodded her little head vigorously, her hands were fast, her little mouth was bulging like a little squirrel, and she ate with relish.
"Fluffing~~"
The three of them were eating when a thrush suddenly flew into the yard.
"brush!"
The thrush bird spread its wings and turned into a petite woman on the ground. She is a second-level thrush demon who is good at singing. She saluted Lu Chen and said in a panic, "My sister is not well, something happened."
"What happened?"
"Aunt Xue, who just went to the City Lord's Mansion, was beaten and killed before she got there. Together with two servants and three corpses, they were thrown outside the flower building."
"Too much deceit!"
The ghost beauty's pretty face was frosty, and she said coldly:
"It must be that Duanmu Heng's hand. I really didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless."
Lu Chen frowned and asked:
"how do you want to do it?"
"I......"
The ghost beauty's expression darkened, and she said in frustration:
"Even if the empress is here, I'm afraid I won't get any benefits. Alas, what can I do? I just swallow my anger. Isn't that person throwing the body outside the flower building as a warning? If I don't know how to praise, the whole flower building will be scared." Everyone will suffer.”
Lu Chen didn't say much, watching the ghost beauty lead the thrush away in a hurry, the other party only saw Hualou's aggrieved, but Lu Chen saw more, he saw signs of a break between the two city lords .
Meng Yao, who was eating, suddenly raised her head, puffed her mouth and said:
"Big brother, is that guy a badass?"
"It's a badass!"
"That......"
Meng Yao rolled her eyes and said eagerly:
"Then shall we kill the villains?"
"Let's eat."
Lu Chen rubbed Meng Yao's little head and said with a smile:
"Look at the situation first, we are not in a hurry to end."
"Oh~~"
Meng Yao seemed to understand, but continued to eat delicious food.
…
In the afternoon, the ghost beauty came again, and tried to speak several times, but in the end she didn't make a sound. Finally, she put down fifteen altars of second-grade spirit wine, and returned to Hualou worried.
As night fell, a small sedan wobbled to the outside of the flower building.
The bustling flower building used to be a bit quiet today. On the third floor, Su Xiaoxiao, the headliner with a very delicate makeup, looked very helpless. She tightly held the ghostly beauty's slender hand, and said sadly:
"Xiaoxiao is going, I'm afraid...I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come back again, I hope my sister will take care!"
"Woo woo woo~~"
After finishing speaking, he sobbed and ran out of the flower building, and got into the small sedan chair shortly.
"Get up the sedan chair~~"
With a sharp voice, the sedan chair slowly walked towards the City Lord's Mansion under the cover of night. On the top of the flower building, the ghostly beauty stared at the sedan chair below, feeling unwilling in the end, she gritted her silver teeth, turned into a colorful butterfly and chased after her.
"brush!"
Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, waved away the picture in his palm, and muttered:
"Don't worry."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, and two green snakes emerged from his cuffs, pierced through the window paper, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Half an hour later, there was a commotion in the city lord's mansion, which quickly subsided. The ghost beauty took the opportunity to take Su Xiaofei back to the flower building. The two landed on the roof of the flower building. Su Xiaoxiao patted the proud chest, Shocked and trembling:
"Sister, just now..."
"Never mind our business!"
The ghost beauty glared at each other.
"Yes Yes!"
Su Xiaoxiao shrank her neck and said excitedly:
"The other party was attacked by two spirit beasts and accidentally lost his life. Naturally, it has nothing to do with us. We Hualou are lucky to have escaped."
"It's good that you know it, don't mention it again in the future."
The ghost beauty gave a warning and waved her hand:
"You go back first."
"Then sister, you..."
"I'll be alone for a while."
"OK."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, and fell to the third floor of the flower building as if she had been reborn. The ghost beauty on the top of the building was stunned for a while, then turned and flew to the backyard.
"Squeak~~"
The door was pushed open, and the ghost beauty quietly walked into the bedroom, and came to the bed step by step, looking at Lu Chen who was sleeping peacefully, pulled the ribbon around his waist with a slender hand, lifted the brocade quilt, and crept in.
Lu Chen woke up leisurely, and said in surprise:
"Sex change?"
The ghost beauty's eyes were burning, she bit her red lips tightly and said:
"is that you?"
"What?"
Lu Chen's face was bewildered. Seeing this, Ghost Beauty became more determined in her heart. She giggled and said softly without asking any further questions:
"It's late at night, and the beauty is here to warm your husband's bed."
"good!"
"Woo woo woo~~"
An hour later, the ghostly beauty staggered out of the room clutching her red lips in embarrassment.
…
"Whoo~~"
After the ghost beauty left, two green snakes broke through the window, one of them got into the cuff, the other coiled around the ground, opened its mouth to spit out, and a huge monster fell to the ground with a "bang".
This is a humanoid.
He was nearly two meters tall, and his whole body was covered by dark gray bone armor, except for a pair of tightly closed eyes revealed outside.
【Name】: Heterogeneous
【Information】: Tier 2 xiǎn bone guard
…
"Guardian of bones?"
Lu Chen was thoughtful, and muttered, "It's somewhat similar to a puppet."
He has personally seen the [Guardian of Ghost Valley] that guards the [Bayu Ghost Valley] of the Tianmu Sect. It can be said that it is very similar to the bone guard in front of him. However, one of the two secret realms is the second level and the other is the third level. , Presumably the strength of the two is also different.
However, it is only a second-order puppet after all.
Compared with his little Supernatural Power [Green Snake with Two Sleeves], the gap is still not small. Originally, the opponent wanted to protect Duanmu Heng, but he was swallowed alive after a face-to-face encounter.
If it weren't for the real Baishui from Closed Door Training, Duanmuheng would definitely be more than just losing an object.
"Eat it!"
"Ah woo~"
Lu Chen waved his hand, and saw the little green snake opened its mouth and swallowed the two-meter-tall bone guard in one gulp. Its body remained the same, which seemed quite miraculous.
…
In the early morning of the second day, the ghost beauty walked into the courtyard with a food box, looked at Lu Chen with complicated eyes, and said:
"This morning, there was news from the City Lord's Mansion that the Second City Lord Duan Muheng was attacked and killed last night!"
Lu Chen froze for a moment, frowned and said:
"Are you sure you're dead?"
"Um!"
The ghost beauty nodded: "The mourning hall has been set up, and many people have gone to pay their respects."
"What a smooth ride!"
Lu Chen sighed with emotion and muttered:
"This great city lord, Duanmuci, is also cruel and merciless."
With a lot of thoughts, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and said again: "Since the other party dares to act so boldly, then this real Baishui..."
"It's more likely to be bad luck than good luck!"
The two looked at each other, and the ghost beauty answered, saying with emotion:
"After today, this Linjiang Cheng is going to change. Without the name of Master Baishui, I don't know if Duanmuci can support the promising Linjiang Cheng."
"Then it depends on whether the opponent can hold on to the bone mound."
The Bone Grave Mound is a Tier 3 secret realm. Even if a Bone Guard dies, it should be able to continue to be cultivated. As long as you hold the secret realm, it is equivalent to having three Mysterious Passage Realm combat power, which is more than enough to guard Lin Jiang Cheng.
…
"Don't go yet."
It was getting dark, Lu Chen called to the ghost beauty who wanted to leave, the ghost beauty blushed, pinched the corner of her skirt with her slender hands, bowed her head and said:
"Still...is there anything else?"
Lu Chen said with a smile:
"Accompany me to the City Lord's Mansion tonight."
"Huh~~"
The ghost beauty breathed a sigh of relief, and said doubtfully:
"Are you planning to intervene too?"
"No! I'm just curious about Master Baishui."
Master Tongxuan of the Three Realms was promoted from the vertical method immortal master, and he must have practiced [Seven Elegance and Five Vulgarities]. Since the other party may have already passed away, he doesn’t mind to check it out. It doesn't matter.
It's just that the City Lord's Mansion is not small.
It's hard for him to find the Closed Door Training area by himself, and Ghost Beauty's [Butterfly Powder] can come in handy.
When it got darker, the two flew out of the courtyard, and under the cover of night, they quickly came to the outside of the city lord's mansion, bypassed the patrolling guards, and quietly climbed over the wall. The mourning hall stands not far away, Lu Chen whispered:
"Is this Duanmuheng's mourning hall?"
"probably."
The ghost beauty nodded, and followed Lu Chen forward, intending to scratch her tongue to ask questions, but after approaching the mourning hall, they found no one was on duty, and the two of them stepped forward quietly, and just outside the mourning hall, they heard a strange sound. Come.
"Sister-in-law~~"
"Woo woo woo~"
"Sister-in-law~~"
…
Lu Chen poked his head out quietly, and saw a white candle burning. A beautiful woman in sackcloth and filial piety was lying on the altar, swaying back and forth, sobbing, and a young man behind him was trying to comfort him.
Lu Chen opened his mouth and said in shock:
"Who is that girl?"
"Duanmu Heng's original partner."
"Where are the men?"
"The Lord of the Three Citadels, Duan Muying!"
"..."
The two looked at each other, the ghostly beauty smiled wryly, and Lu Chen muttered:
"I really know how to play..."
