Chapter 231: Soul Illusion, Grand Event
"Impossible, they died decades ago, how could they ask for their lives! Who are you?"
Hearing Lu Qing's words, the ruddy-faced man screamed wildly, his face on the verge of collapse.
"What are you doing, brother Lu Qing?"
In the distance, Ma Gu and others looked over here with some confusion.
They were far away and did not hear what Lu Qing said, but saw the ruddy-faced man suddenly screaming wildly.
"Yes, they are dead, but because they died in vain, their resentment is hard to eliminate, so they have been unable to reincarnate for decades and can only become lonely ghosts, wandering alone. Look over there, are they their wronged souls?"
A strange light appeared in Lu Qing's eyes, and he pointed to the rice field next to him.
The ruddy-faced man turned his head to look to the side, and the next moment, his pupils suddenly dilated.
Two white figures were seen floating above the rice field, one covered in blood, and the other with a long tongue, looking at him strangely with no expression on his face.
That look was exactly the brother and sister-in-law who had been dead for decades and often appeared in his dreams for many years.
"Look, your brother and sister-in-law are here. They said that only when you die can they be free and reincarnate as human beings. Look, they are here to ask for your life."
There was also a strange rhythm in Lu Qing's voice.
As he spoke, two white shadows floating on the rice field also flew over here lightly, stretched out their hands, and slowly pinched the neck of the jujube-faced man.
"No, no, brother and sister-in-law, I didn't mean to kill you, don't ask for my life, no, no!"
Seeing the two white shadows flying over, the jujube-faced man showed great fear on his face.
He shouted desperately, and his body squirmed to retreat.
However, all this was in vain. His legs were broken and he was too frightened. At this moment, he couldn't even gather his blood. No matter how hard he climbed, the two white shadows gradually approached him and pinched his neck with their hands.
"No, don't!"
The ruddy-faced man protected his neck with both hands, trying to get rid of the two pairs of pale hands.
But it was useless. The two hands, like illusions, passed through the ruddy-faced man's hands and pinched his neck fiercely.
At the same time, the faces of the two white figures also became hideous in an instant, excited and crazy.
Feeling the coldness coming from the neck, the deepening sense of suffocation, and the hideous and crazy ghosts of the brother and sister-in-law in front of him.
The ruddy-faced man completely collapsed, and the fear in his heart reached the extreme. He wanted to shout, but his throat was tightly pinched, so he could only make a gurgling sound, and breathing became more and more difficult.
In the end, in the incomparable fear and suffocation, the ruddy-faced man's eyes gradually became scattered, and finally became silent and died.
From beginning to end, Lu Qing just looked at this scene indifferently without saying a word.
"Brother Lu Qing, what happened?"
At this time, Ma Gu came over and was shocked when he saw the death of the ruddy-faced man.
"This man actually strangled his own neck alive, so cruel?"
"Nothing, let's go, deal with the body, and we'll leave."
Lu Qing walked back.
Ma Gu looked at the ruddy-faced man again, especially the extreme fear expression on his face before he died. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.
But he didn't dwell on it. Anyway, these were all scumbags. How could they not die? Maybe Brother Lu Qing used some special means.
Ma Gu shook his head, grabbed the corpse and walked back.
Lu Qing walked towards the carriage, but he started to think about it.
The reason why the ruddy-faced man was like that before was not because he was really killed by a ghost, but because he was under his soul illusion.
From the information he had found out from his supernatural power before, Lu Qing knew a secret of the ruddy-faced man.
That is, when he was young, he committed the evil of killing his brother and sister-in-law. That was the biggest secret in his heart.
So he decided not to let the other party die so easily.
It happened that his soul power had increased a lot recently, and he could use some soul secrets that he could not use before, so he tried it out.
Facts have proved that the effect is quite good.
After he was exposed by him, the will of the jujube-faced man was broken in panic, and he was completely trapped in his soul illusion, and really thought that his brother and sister-in-law wanted him to die.
In fact, he was strangled to death by himself.
However, until he died, the jujube-faced man did not realize this.
After moving the bodies of the dead Liuyun Sect disciples to a forest on the road ahead and burying them, Lu Qing finally felt troubled.
He thought that he should develop a method that was easier to destroy the bodies.
Otherwise, it would be too troublesome and time-consuming to deal with the bodies every time he killed someone.
After burying the bodies, Lu Qing and his companions continued on their way.
"Ah Qing, why did the last Liuyun Sect elder suddenly scream like that?"
The old doctor asked in the carriage.
Although he had not left the carriage before, he could vaguely sense the fluctuations of the spiritual power emerging from Lu Qing.
Ma Gu, who was driving the carriage, also pricked up his ears.
"Previously, the disciple used a little spiritual power to make the elder of Liuyun Sect fall into an illusion, so that he could recall the sins he had committed. Unexpectedly, he was so scared that he strangled himself to death." Lu Qing replied.
"He was so scared that he strangled himself to death. Could it be that this person had committed a great sin?" The old doctor was somewhat moved.
"He once killed his brother and sister-in-law who had raised him with great effort because of his lustful heart." Lu Qing said lightly.
"..."
The old doctor was silent.
"Even the brother and sister-in-law who raised him could be killed. This Liuyun Sect is really a nest of snakes and rats. There is not a single good person!" Wei Zian cursed indignantly.
Ma Gu in front was also angry.
But he was also shocked.
Brother Lu Qing is really getting more and more powerful. He can make a powerful warrior who has reached the inner realm of great perfection fall into hallucination and commit suicide without making any sound. Such means are simply unheard of.
After this encounter, Lu Qing and others are relieved.
At least they know that the people of Liuyun Sect did not bypass them and go to Qingfeng Town.
Next, as long as they rush directly to the location of Liuyun Sect, Qingfeng Town should not have any more trouble.
The carriage was moving slowly and Lu Qing was also thinking about his corpse-destroying method.
Finally, when he had some ideas, the carriage stopped.
"Old doctor, we have been walking for a long time today, and the horses are tired. There is a tea shed in front. Why don't we go there to rest for a while." Ma Gu said.
"Okay." The old doctor nodded.
Seeing that he got the promise, Ma Gu drove the carriage forward.
Lu Qing opened the curtains and saw a straw shed in front of him. A piece of coarse cloth with a huge word "tea" written on it was fluttering in the wind.
"Hey! Sir, do you want to drink tea?"
Seeing the carriage approaching and slowing down, a young waiter in tattered cloth, with a sweat towel on his shoulder, came forward with a humble smile and nodded.
"Yes, we are tired from traveling and want to have a cup of tea to rest. Do you have any fodder?" Ma Gu asked.
"Yes, yes, it's behind the shed, the best fodder!" The young waiter hurriedly said.
"Then bring two bundles to feed our horses. You will need money."
"Okay! Sirs, please come in!"
The young waiter stepped forward to help lead the horses.
Lu Qing and the others stepped into the tea shed.
An old man came out from inside with a smile on his face: "Dear guests, please come and sit here."
After Lu Qing and others sat down, he asked: "What would you like to drink?"
"Don't bother too much, just bring two pots of tea and some food you have here." The old doctor said.
"Okay, I'll be there soon, please wait."
After the old man left, Lu Qing also began to look at the teahouse.
This teahouse is quite spacious. On the other side of the teahouse, there are already several tables of guests, and they don't look ordinary people.
Lu Qing was not surprised. He looked at the weapons they carried and didn't pay much attention.
These days, people who can walk around outside are basically not ordinary people.
Most of them are Jianghu people who have some martial arts to protect themselves, or they are wealthy families who can afford to hire guards.
After all, the poor are rich, and the real poor people will not go out easily.
After looking at Lu Qing and others for a few times, the people at the tables opposite didn't care.
Those who can go out in a carriage are generally not ordinary people. It is better to have less trouble than more. As long as nothing out of the ordinary happens, people generally do not provoke each other.
Soon, the store owner brought two pots of tea and some food.
The tea was coarse tea, and the food was simple steamed buns and side dishes.
However, in this remote place, it is already very good to have these things.
After Lu Qing checked it and found that there was no problem with the food, he took the lead in picking up a steamed bun and eating it.
"This time, Liuyun Sect has really lost face. It is said that even the young sect leader was killed. The key is that we don't know who killed him!"
Just as Lu Qing and his friends were eating quietly, the conversation of several Jianghu people at a table opposite attracted their attention.
"It's impossible. Liuyun Sect is one of the three major sects in our Yunzhou. Who dares to provoke them?" Someone said in disbelief.
"How can it be impossible? This is what my nephew who joined the Tianyan Sect said. He also said that this matter has almost spread throughout the entire Yunzhou, and it must be true!" The man swore at first.
"So Brother Wang has such a connection. The Tianyan Sect is the second most powerful force after the three major sects. It seems that Brother Wang's nephew is a young talent!"
Hearing this, his companions immediately flattered him.
"No, no, he was just lucky enough to join the Tianyan Sect."
The brother became modest, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Others were shocked: "So, this is true? But who is so bold as to kill the young master of Liuyun Sect? Are they going to die?"
"Yes, I heard that the young master is the son of the Sect Master, and Liuyun Sect is the most domineering and protective of its own people. With their style, they must be going crazy?"
"We don't know who the murderer is yet, but Liuyun Sect has indeed gone crazy these days, and is about to turn the whole Yunzhou upside down.
It is said that they suspect it was someone else. People from his sect murdered their young master.
Therefore, recently, many powerful sects have been held accountable by Liuyun Sect and asked to provide clues.
Those who fail to provide clues will be punished at the least, or they will be accused of murdering the young master and robbed. This is crazy! "
"Isn't this taking advantage of the fire? The young master of his Liuyun Sect died, but instead of finding the real murderer, he used this opportunity to rob other sects. This is too arrogant and domineering!" Someone was dumbfounded.
"This Liuyun Sect's tyranny is not the first time you have known it. On weekdays, they like to threaten nearby sects to pay tribute. This time they have an excuse, so they must plunder it severely."
"With such arrogance and greed, no wonder their young master died. I now believe that it may be that other sects that have been resentful for a long time and are unwilling to continue to be oppressed secretly killed the young master!" Someone lowered his voice and said.
"Whether it is true or not, the Liuyun Sect seems to have really determined it and is searching for the murderer recklessly.
However, the Liuyun Sect is not the only one in Yunzhou. Just the day before yesterday, they hit a wall."
The man who was called Brother Wang at the beginning said.
"What wall did they hit?"
Several companions immediately showed gossiping looks.
"It is said that an elder of the Liuyun Sect led his disciples to rob a small sect, but was stopped by several young knights passing by, and the two sides clashed.
Then the elder of the Liuyun Sect, relying on his profound cultivation, beat two of the young knights to death.
Unexpectedly, one of the two young men was a disciple of the Yinyue Sect, and one of the disciples of the Yinyue Sect's master."
"Yinyue Sect!"
The others exclaimed immediately.
The Yinyue Sect is one of the three strongest sects in Yunzhou, and its power and foundation are not much inferior to that of the Liuyun Sect.
"Yes, it's the Yinyue Sect!" said the man called Wang Xiong. "The disciple was killed innocently, so the leader of the Yinyue Sect will not let it go.
It just so happens that the recent crazy behavior of Liuyun Sect has also caused the anger of the people in Yunzhou, so he simply sent out invitations to unite many sects in Yunzhou and go to Liuyun Sect to hold them accountable!"
"So exciting!"
After hearing this, several companions were all excited.
"Then Wang Xiong, do you know when the Yinyue Sect and the major sects will go to Liuyun Sect to hold them accountable?"
"My nephew said that it will be three days later!" said the man called Wang Xiong.
"Three days later? No wonder yesterday, I saw many warriors on the road, some of them were very powerful, which made me feel scared. I was also surprised. Why are there so many powerful warriors walking outside all of a sudden? It turns out that they are going to this grand event!"
"Such a big news, only we, the casual warriors without sects, know it so late."
"So, Brother Wang, you are on the road this time to attend this grand event?"
"Of course, this time, Yinyue Sect took the lead and united at least more than 80% of the sects in Yunzhou to go to Liuyun Sect for accountability. How can I not go to such a grand event to broaden my horizons."
"Then we can't miss such a grand event, Brother Wang, it's rare that we have a chance, why don't we go together?"
"Okay, okay..."
Seeing that the Jianghu men at the opposite table have already started to make friends, they can't wait to become sworn brothers on the spot.
Lu Qing and the others who had been listening also retracted their gazes and looked at each other.
