Chapter 867 By Chance
The four dead disciples were looking at the door. When the disciples on duty who had just entered the room saw the eight dead fish-like eyes, their hair stood on end and a shudder rose from the bottom of their hearts!
The disciples on duty were afraid, but they did not dare to neglect their duties. They first looked around the whole room and found nothing unusual. Then they walked to the disciple closest to the door and frowned slightly after a brief inspection, because there were no scars on the disciple's body. (.)
"How is it?" At this moment, a deep voice sounded, "Any clues?"
"Captain Zhong Yu!" The disciple on duty showed a sense of relief on his face, and hurriedly turned back and bowed. But a middle-aged monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes, about forty years old, stepped steadily into the room. The monk's cultivation was about the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
"Hmm~" Zhong Yu raised his hand, motioned several disciples on duty to stand up, and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
"No" The disciple on duty shook his head slightly, "I checked roughly, it may be poisoned, but... I didn't find any wounds, I can't judge~"
"Is there any movement tonight?"
"No, just like before, there is no movement at all!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yu frowned even more. He has been the captain of the Zhongling Villa for decades, and this is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing, and even the death of so many low-level disciples at once is also the first time.
"Let the coroner come over and take a closer look!" Zhong Yu turned around and ordered.
One of the disciples on duty walked away quickly. () Zhong Yu looked around the room again and asked, "Tell me the details!"
"Yes, Captain." The disciple on duty pointed outside and whispered, "There is another surviving disciple outside! I'll ask him!"
"Well, let him in!" Zhong Yu nodded, but the disciple on duty had just taken two steps when Zhong Yu called out again, "No need, I'll go ask myself!"
"Yes!"
Waiting for Zhong Yu to come to the surviving disciple. At this time, the disciple had recovered a little bit of his spirit, but his eyes were still a little stagnant. Zhong Yu looked at this disciple and muttered in his heart. He knew that although there were some Zhong family disciples among these disciples, most of them were disciples of other surnames who were relatives of the Zhong family, and there were even villagers with some qualifications near Zhongling Villa! Their qualifications were not very good, but they could also practice. Most of them were around the third level of Qi Refining, and because they could not advance further, they were assigned to the medicine garden.
Although these disciples are usually taught by Zhong family disciples, their real use is to grow spiritual herbs and do chores in Zhongling Villa. Although their status is higher than that of ordinary servants, they will never fall into the eyes of others, and any matter against the Zhong family will not involve them.
"Tell me the whole story in detail!" Zhong Yu looked at the disciple with a clear gaze.
"Yes" The disciple licked his dry lips with his tongue and told the story again. This time, it was obviously more detailed than before. The tone was also much calmer. However, the matter was simple, and even if it was more detailed, it would not be possible to relax Zhong Yu's brows!
"You said that you just went out for a while, and when you came back, the four people were dead? You didn't see anything else unusual?" Zhong Yu asked.
"Yes. Disciple really didn't..." The disciple was about to blurt out, but he seemed to suddenly think of something and hesitated, "No, disciple... Disciple seemed to see a black shadow, faster than a flying bird, but it was not clear at night. Disciple doesn't know if disciple saw it wrong!"
"Oh? Black shadow? How big? Where did it fly to?" Zhong Yu's face was happy.
The disciple stretched out his hand to compare the size of a palm, but seemed to feel that it was not right, so he enlarged his hands again, but then he felt that it was not right again, and enlarged it again until it was one foot in size, and then stopped, hesitating: "It's so big... Disciple is really sleepy, really didn't see it too clearly!"
"Well, where did the black shadow fly to?"
"It seems to be... over there..." The disciple still hesitated a little, and pointed to another row of small houses with uncertainty.
"It's bad!!!" Zhong Yu saw his disciples pointing to another house, and his heart immediately sank. He said anxiously, "Zhong Huan, go quickly and gather all the disciples in the medicine garden!"
"Captain, it's late at night..." the disciple on duty whispered, "Don't gather all the disciples..." But at this point, the disciple named Zhong Huan seemed to wake up and exclaimed, "Captain, could it be..."
"Hmph, you only remembered it now? You are presumptuous of my usual instructions!" Zhong Yu snorted coldly.
"Yes!" Zhong Huan hurriedly waved his hand and called on his disciples on duty to wake up all the disciples resting in the medicine garden and gather them together.
After a few moments, Zhong Huan's face turned a little black and he walked over.
"How is it?" Zhong Yu saw that Zhong Huan's face was already known, and asked lightly.
"Let the captain know that there are three rooms... All the disciples are dead," Zhong Huan whispered, "The death is the same as these four! The subordinates also took a general look and found nothing unusual!"
"Fifteen disciples?" Zhong Yu's face also changed drastically.
"Yes, fifteen disciples, plus these four, there should be nineteen disciples in total!" Zhong Huan nodded slightly.
At this moment, a loud sound was heard in the air in the distance of Zhongling Villa, as if millions of firecrackers were lit one after another. With the sound, clusters of light shone in the night sky!
"Who touched the villa's ban!" Zhong Yu was shocked. He didn't have time to ask his subordinates about the situation and urged the flying talisman to rush into the air.
However, as soon as his figure flew up, he heard an extremely angry voice like thunder: "Where did the evil obstacle come from? How dare you break into the ancestral hall of my Zhong family?"
Then, another dazzling fire was born, and a sound like thunder came!
"Ah? Third uncle's magic weapon?" Zhong Yu was shocked, and his figure stagnated slightly in the air. He knew in his heart that Zhong Peiyuan was a late foundation-building cultivator. If he took action, how could he stand by his side? Even if he went, he would only die!
"Hahaha~ Old Zhong, of course it's me!" Xiao Hua's slightly exaggerated voice sounded at the same time, and then Zhong Yu saw a flash of golden light in front of his eyes. The golden light was so bright and sharp that it almost blinded his eyes. He closed his eyes involuntarily.
"Stab~~" sounded, as unpleasant as silk being cut.
Then, Zhong Peiyuan's roar was heard: "Xiao Hua!!! You...you are really bold!" RQ
