Rain kept dripping down the bamboo hat.

The bones unfolded, revealing the black muzzle of the gun, which was pressed against the shrine, as if it would be activated in the next second.

Lu San is very smart and grasped the weakness of this object immediately.

This is Wild God in the river.

The so-called Wild God is the opposite of Orthodox God. It is not in the ranks of canonization by the imperial court. It belongs to the folk Excessive Sacrifice and is not subject to the orthodox religious lineage Attendant.

According to regulations, Wild God is not allowed to offer sacrifices in public, let alone burn incense Attendant wantonly. Once discovered, the temple will be destroyed and Divine Soul dispersed.

Most of these Wild God are mountain spirits who falsely claim to be the gods of mountains and water, and lure some foolish people to offer sacrifices. They are also sneaky and do not dare to be discovered.

Just like this one, the name is "Black Head Great King", which is probably Black Fish Demon in the lake, bewitching fishermen Attendant.

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

But as the saying goes, "It's easy to invite gods, but hard to send them away." After a long time, it will become a lot of trouble, which is also something Xuan Gate People often has to deal with.

The new musket can destroy the shrine with one shot.

This "Black Head Great King" felt the crisis, so he showed up to meet him.

As the two sides communicated, Lu San frowned more and more, Superior Language said a few words in succession, and his expression became stern.

However, the black shadow just shook its head crazily.

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

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

Then, the surrounding wind subsided.

The black shadow has disappeared, and in the lake in the distance, a two-meter-long black fish also turned over and got into the water...

Lu San immediately put away his bones and left quickly with Wu Ba.

He didn't go far, his ears twitched slightly, and he pulled Wu Ba to hide in the nearby dense forest and lowered his body.

The rain was pouring down, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled.

It was the Shen family members who arrived belatedly.

"What a fucking god!"

The group of people were all soaked in the rain and were in a very embarrassed state. The third son of the Shen family even looked unhappy and cursed loudly.

In front of them, it was Temple Keeper Wu who was leading the way.

"Guys, the entrance is right here."

He looked calm and pointed to the lake.

Seeing the wooden boats floating on the lake, the second son of the Shen family suddenly changed his expression and shouted at Temple Keeper Wu, "What's going on, you leaked the news?!"

When the others heard this, they all stared angrily and stretched out their hands to press their weapons.

Shen Jingcan, on the other hand, shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.

He originally thought that with his sharp tongue and his relationship with both parties, he would be able to get both sides of the situation and get the matter settled.

But in fact, he overestimated himself.

The two sides almost got into a fight as soon as they met. No matter which side took him seriously, if he talked too much at this time, he might be the first one to be unlucky.

Looking at this bunch of mischievous guys, Temple Keeper Wu also felt angry in his eyes, and sneered and taunted, "You really think that only your Shen family knows about this place?"

"The following is Tomb of Anping Prince Wu Youxu. There are many gold and silver treasures. More than one force has an idea. You just happened to meet them."

"Without me, you wouldn't even be able to find the entrance!"

"Cut the fucking nonsense!"

The third eldest son of the Shen family has a bad temper. Seeing the empty boats on the water, he was already a little anxious, "It's down there? How many people have gone in?"

Temple Keeper Wu said calmly, "There are not a hundred, but dozens. Anyway, the news has been leaked, and Bai He Wan's men, women, and children all ran in."

"I'll go ahead, I won't even be able to drink the soup if I'm late!"

After that, he and Bai Blacksmith rushed into the lake.

"Master, wait for me!"

Shen Jingcan became anxious when he saw it and quickly followed behind.

"Good-for-nothing!"

The second son of the Shen family was so angry that he cursed, but at this time his blood was boiling and he could not care about anything else. He immediately dismounted his horse and led everyone towards the lake.

They grew up in Liangzi Lake, so their water quality is naturally good. They drew out their knives one after another, their eyes flashed fiercely, and they plunged into the water with a fierce move.

Of course, two people were left to provide support.

Hu Lulu!

As the person was staring at the lake, he suddenly heard the sound of horses neighing from behind.

He quickly turned his head and saw that Lu San had climbed onto his horse, shook the reins, and rushed into the wind and rain.

And Wu Ba is too big and can't ride a horse. When he just learned to jump on a horse, he immediately crushed the horse to the ground.

"Aba Aba..."

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

He Hidden Strength exploded, using his hands and feet together, running in the rain like a wild animal, and his speed was not slow at all.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared.

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

Wow!

Water splashed everywhere, and the Shen family crawled out.

Their water quality was good, and not long after they reached the bottom of the lake, they found the entrance to the tomb, passed through a "V" shaped water channel, and climbed out of a pond.

There was darkness all around, and the stench of corruption assaulted my nostrils.

"Quick, torch!"

The second son of the Shen family felt palpitated for no apparent reason and hurriedly shouted.

They came to dig for treasure this time. Although they left in a hurry, they still didn't leave behind the things they should prepare, such as torches and fire folders wrapped in oil paper.

Soon, several torches were lit, illuminating the surrounding area.

In front of you is a cave, which is quite large. The surrounding stone walls seem to have been corroded by something, with pits and pits filled with metallic luster.

Where they were, sections of Stone Platform levels spread into the pool, and the surroundings were full of corrupted flesh and bones.

There are people and animals, and they are piled high in a mess.

On the stone wall in the distance, there are pieces of broken metal chains, and the ground is full of huge rocks that look like some kind of animal eggs.

What surprised them even more was that in front of the passage, there were several corpses lying in front of them. They were neatly cut open from the middle, and their internal organs were scattered on the ground. They died in extremely miserable conditions.

"What... what is this?"

The faces of several Shen family disciples turned pale, and they stumbled back in fear. Their feet fell into the air, and they fell into the pond again.

"Good-for-nothing!"

When the third child of the Shen family saw this, he immediately cursed, "It's just a dead person. There's nothing to be afraid of. Please follow closely and don't run around."

Having said that, he looked at Temple Keeper Wu and Bai Blacksmith on the side, his tone was obviously much more relaxed, "Boy, this is a trap, how do you crack it?"

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

Divine Land Many ancient tombs have been stolen in various places, some of which have become deserted tombs. He has also entered the abandoned tombs of princes.

No matter how good it is, it cannot be turned into a palace. Most of them are just a corridor leading to the tomb, and there are some front rooms, back rooms, and ear rooms.

But this one in front of me is definitely weird.

There was still a dark cave ahead, and the torches could only illuminate the surroundings. It was not possible to see how deep it was, let alone the fact that as soon as we entered, we saw so many dead bodies.

Temple Keeper Wu glanced at the words and said, "I don't know how to do Grave Robbers's craftsmanship. If you are afraid, go back early."

Those words made the third son of the Shen family so angry that his eyes flashed fiercely.

On the other hand, Bai Blacksmith, who was next to him, quickly said, "It is indeed a mechanism, but it has been cracked."

As he spoke, he pointed to the top of the cave.

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

Seeing that everyone in the Shen family was in shock and confusion, Bai Blacksmith showed a sneer on his lips and said honestly, "Everyone, there is a mechanism when you first come in. There must be a lot of good things inside."

"A lot of people have already entered in front of us. Even if there is an agency, it's just them who are unlucky. They're just so scared!"

Having said that, he and Temple Keeper Wu raised the torch and moved forward without hesitation.

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

"Follow them, be careful!"

He has the most authority among everyone. It was his idea to return to the Shen family after the separation and compete for the family property, so others were accustomed to obey.

Of course, everyone is still extra careful.

Holding the torch and looking left and right, they finally saw the terrain clearly.

It is said to be a tomb, but more like a mine.

There are many traces of manual excavation on the stone walls along the way, but more of them are weird corrosion pits, large and small, densely packed.

When illuminated by fire, it will shine with metallic luster.

The ground is even more uneven. If it weren't for the stone figures and horses placed every 100 meters, no one would believe that this place could be a tomb.

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

The two people Temple Keeper Wu in front seemed to be speeding up, and they could only vaguely see figures and torches.

"You two, wait!"

The third son of the Shen family said a little annoyed.

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 shadows in front of them flickered, and three figures and firelights separated, some going left, some going right, and some moving straight forward, like 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, all three figures disappeared.

Everyone was shocked at the sight, and the third son of the Shen family couldn't help swallowing, "Second brother, this... can't see a ghost, right?"

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

Many people have heard of the many strange stories in the countryside. Whether walking at night or passing by a cemetery, the word "ghost" should never be said.

The second son of the Shen family also had uncertainty in his eyes.

"Come on, come up and take a look."

He knew better than anyone else that by now, they had no way out. The Shen family could not go back. They spent a lot of money on weekdays, and some of them even owed gambling debts.

If you don't get the money, it will be worse than death.

Everyone continued to move forward in fear. When they came to the place where Temple Keeper Wu had just walked, they suddenly realized.

It turns out that this is a three-way road, and there are several huge bronze mirrors inlaid on the stone wall of the fork road, which just creates refraction.

But the problem is,

Which channel did Temple Keeper Wu go through?

The second son of the Shen family asked people to stand and watch from a distance.

Sure enough, everyone's shadow is divided into Cheng San parts, but no matter which direction they walk, they will show the same light and shadow.

The ground here is slippery and there are no footprints.

"Take the middle section first!"

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

As the fire light gradually faded away, what they didn't notice was that their departing shadows appeared again on the bronze mirror.

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

Rumble!

Thunder roared and heavy rain fell on Official Road.

Lu San lowered his body and galloped forward, not slowing down despite the raindrops hitting him head-on.

Little White Fox was holding on to his clothes behind him and was being thrown up and down. Wu Ba was running so hard that his skin was red all over.

However, they didn't dare to complain.

Although they usually only get close to Lu San and keep a distance from Li Yan, they also know who the real leader of this team is.

Now that something happened to Li Yan, Lu San is naturally anxious.

Finally, a faint candlelight appeared in front.

It is Shen Family Dam.

Originally it would be faster to take a boat, but Lu San knew that the center of Liangzi Lake had become a dangerous place, and with his own strength, he would only fall into it.

Outside the Shen family's mansion, two white lanterns swayed.

The stage that was set up was also pitch black.

There was originally going to be an opera show tonight, but the weather in summer is so changeable that even the most experienced farmers did not expect it to rain suddenly.

I can only give up on singing.

Boom, boom, boom!

Lu San opened the door of Shen's house, and before the servant could ask, he immediately rushed in, found Wang Dao Xuan who was reading a book, and said with a solemn expression, "Something happened!"

Wang Dao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, "What's wrong?"

Lu San explained the matter briefly, and then said in a deep voice, "I asked Wild God in the lake, because the center of the lake has become a dangerous place, and Gaochang County and Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts were all trapped in it at that time."

"Every time it rains heavily, they will go into a frenzy. This time they were stimulated by 'Wan Yan' and broke out in advance, involving Yan XiaoGe."

Wang Dao Xuan was also confused, "What... what should I do?"

Lu San said in a deep voice, "I wanted to ask Wild God in the lake to help me, but Black Head Great King didn't dare to get close unless I could appease or lure those wild ghosts away."

"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 have to rescue Yan XiaoGe tonight."

"Does the Daoist priest have any idea?"

"No hurry, no hurry, let me think..."

Wang Dao Xuan also had his heart pounding and forced himself to calm down, "Yan XiaoGe But Living Underworld Messenger, when the Yin soldiers come out, how can you be afraid of a ghost town? If they haven't come out yet, there must be another reason."

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

At this moment, Shen Jinghong, who got the news, also came in a hurry.

Now the Shen family is doing some business, and many people are trapped in the house due to the heavy rain. When they heard that something happened, some good people came to watch the fun.

Wang Dao Xuan was worrying. When he saw a man behind Shen Jinghong, his eyes suddenly lit up and he stepped forward quickly.

"Master Wu, five thousand taels of silver, do you dare to take a job?"

"Five thousand taels?"

This Master Wu is the leader of a Han Opera theater troupe in Jiangxia County. When he heard Wang Dao Xuan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Then I'll definitely take it. What job?"

"Easy!"

Wang Dao Xuan said, "Sing a ghost show!"

"Ah?!"

Master Wu turned pale when he heard it.

Half an hour later, Shen Family Dam ferry.

There is a large tiled house nearby. It was originally an old house, but 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 dressed up, and they are all very nervous.

Although Master Wu had already agreed with the inducement of large sums of money, he was still worried, "Daoist Master, this place faces north, but it is the most vicious 'Yin Stage'. Can it be done?"

The direction of the stage is very particular.

The one facing Southern Dynasties is called "balcony", the one facing north is called "Yin Stage", and the one facing west is called "White Tiger Stage".

The so-called "If you want to make a fortune, you should avoid White Tiger Stage" because White Tiger Stage is prone to getting into trouble and is prone to quarrels and fights.

The most vicious one is undoubtedly "Yin Stage".

Singing opera comes from entertaining gods,

Using "Yin Stage" may attract something.

"Don't worry."

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

"Remember, no matter what you see, the play must be sung to the end!"

The second is later.

I recommend another book from a friend.

Just getting ready to play professionally, Laodeng's counterattack system is here
