Chapter 20 Let's go in together [New book, please collect it! ]
Looking down from the hillside, you can see that the entire Liu Family Archway has been abandoned. Only a few dilapidated wooden fences of the former village remain. When the wind blows, the old houses make a sound as they are unable to bear the weight.
There are many villages with the word "Liu" in their names around Yuhang Town, such as Daliu Village, Xiaoliu Village, Shangliu Village, Xialiu Village, Liujiaji... and so on.
But if you ask further, you will find that there is almost no one with the surname Liu in the whole town. Even if there is, they must have moved here in recent years.
All this is because there was once a Liu family which was the largest family in Yuhang Town. It had a long history, many descendants, and some of its descendants served as officials in Chaoge.
But it was such a large family in the countryside that was somehow involved in a major case of treason seventy or eighty years ago.
The Liu Family Archway was inhabited by the direct descendants of the family, and they were all killed at that time. In the surrounding villages, all those with the surname Liu were exiled to the northern border.
Overnight, the family's property was confiscated and the entire clan was exterminated.
The scene was perhaps so cruel that some elderly people still tremble when they think of it. One can imagine how much of a shadow it cast on their youth.
From that day on, the small building where the head of the Liu family lived became a gloomy and haunted place.
It is said that anyone who enters this small building will not survive one night. An adult from Chaotianque has come to deal with it before, but that adult left with a gloomy face after one night, leaving only a message that no one is allowed to approach.
Because there were no residents here, and everyone knew it was haunted, no one would approach it. So the government just issued a notice and did not send people to guard it all the time.
I guess no one could have imagined that decades later, two rich second-generations would come here to commit suicide because of jealousy.
After the brief encounter just now, Zhao Liangchen felt that his Tao heart had suffered a critical blow, and he turned his back to calm down for a while.
Zhao Liangcai tugged at his sleeve and said, "Cousin, look at that pretty boy Wang Longqi found. How is his cultivation?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Liangchen raised his head and was suddenly awakened.
Yes, as a cultivator, it is enough as long as you are stronger than him!
Thinking of this, he turned around and came in front of the two again. Without even looking at Wang Longqi, he stared straight at Li Chu and asked, "I am Zhao Liangchen from Feilai Sect. I wonder which mountain or temple this Taoist fellow is practicing in?"
Although he thought this person was a little strange, Li Chu still replied politely: "Deyun Temple on Shilipu, Li Chu."
"Haha." Zhao Liangcai sneered.
He turned his back to Zhao Liangchen and said, "It's a dilapidated Taoist temple here. There's an old Taoist priest leading a young Taoist priest inside. This one is probably the young one."
Zhao Liangchen's eyes also regained confidence: "I carefully checked just now, and there is no fluctuation of true energy in his body."
"He is indeed a charlatan!" Zhao Liangcai hit his left palm with his right fist, looking very happy.
"Okay, I'll test his skills."
Zhao Liangchen sneered and turned around. He said this to teach Li Chu a lesson on the spot and expose his identity as a liar.
Is there anything more satisfying than slapping a pretty boy in the face? In his world, there probably isn't.
"Hey, cousin, don't worry." Zhao Liangcai grabbed him.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Liangchen glanced at him.
"If you expose him now, Wang Longqi will be scared. What if he uses this as an excuse to break the contract?" Zhao Liangcai said with a wicked smile, "Let's first let him go into the haunted building with this liar, and then we can slowly deal with them tonight."
"Haha, okay." Zhao Liangchen nodded.
Li Chu stood there, watching the two of them turning around and whispering to each other from time to time, and felt it was a bit weird.
So he said to Wang Longqi: "Do you think these two people are weird?"
Wang Longqi pointed his index finger at his head and said, "The Zhao family has always had trouble here."
After a while, Zhao Liangcai turned around and said, "Wang Longqi, let's stop talking nonsense. Let's go in now before it gets dark. According to the agreement, each of us will choose a room and spend the night there. Whoever runs away will lose."
"Okay, after tonight let's see if you dare to snatch my wife from me." Wang Longqi snorted coldly.
"Are all women your wives? You're crazy."
"I don't care about others. Miss Gongsun and I are already halfway together anyway."
"When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?"
"I've already agreed, so that's half of it. Now I just have to wait for her to agree, and then the other half will be done."
"If I wasn't afraid of letting you get a taste of the sweetness, I would really want to wake you up!"
…
The two men were arguing and were about to walk down the hill when they heard someone shouting from the top of the hill: "Stop!"
Following the sound, I saw a tall figure standing there.
She was wearing a blue and white long skirt and a tasseled blouse with a front opening. Her features were picturesque and her skin was white as snow. She stood in the breeze with her clothes fluttering, giving a feeling of being out of touch with the world.
Li Chu had seen this person before, and it turned out to be Gongsun Rou.
Wang Longqi smiled and said, "Miss Gongsun! Why are you here?"
Zhao Liangcai also immediately revealed an ugly but enthusiastic smile: "Hey, Miss Gongsun, are you here to see me? Hey, why are you here too, little sister?"
Behind Gongsun Rou followed a little girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a bun and a flowing green dress. She was quite cute and clever. But compared to Gongsun Rou, she looked a little immature, so she was not noticed at first.
She jumped up and down, and came to the front of the crowd before Gongsun Roulai, and said with a smile: "Brother, cousin, I told Sister Gongsun about your affairs, and she seemed very angry."
"Oh, aren't you causing more trouble?" Zhao Liangcai's face changed drastically.
Gongsun Rou then walked over slowly. She really didn't look very good, her brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes. But a beauty is a beauty, even when she was angry, she still had a unique charm.
As she walked, her eyes moved back and forth between Wang Longqi and Zhao Liangcai, as if she was about to say something, but she soon caught a glimpse of another figure.
His expression suddenly froze.
Gongsun Rou blinked twice quickly, as if in surprise or joy: "Master Xiao Li?"
With this greeting, the anger that had just been brewing in her heart was like ice and snow melting, clouds and fog dissipating, and it instantly turned into uncontrollable joy.
Li Chu nodded at her and greeted her: "Miss Gongsun."
Wang Longqi's heart skipped a beat.
He was too familiar with this scene. That was how the ghost bride fell in love with someone else. He couldn't help but say inwardly, "Oh no!"
He smiled stiffly: "Li Chu, Miss Gongsun, do you know each other?"
“There is a slight overlap.”
"Master Xiao Li is my savior."
They both said at the same time.
Hearing Li Chu's answer, Gongsun Rou looked at him with a look that seemed a little hurt.
Li Chuyun was calm and composed.
No matter how stupid Zhao Liangcai was, he could feel that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Why did Miss Gongsun seem to forget about everyone else when she saw this little Taoist priest?
He hurriedly asked, "Miss Gongsun, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He bit the word "find me" very hard.
Gongsun Rou came back to her senses, and then she glared at the two of them again, saying, "I heard from Xiao Miao that you two made a bet to spend the night in this haunted building because of me?"
“Uh…” Wang Longqi hesitated and pointed at Zhao Liangcai: “He was the one who proposed it.”
Zhao Liangcai immediately said anxiously: "He was the one who provoked me first!"
"snort."
They only heard the woman in front of them snort softly, and they dared not make any more sounds, and lowered their heads like two dogs being trained.
Gongsun Rou originally wanted to reprimand them.
My father had just taken office as the magistrate of Yuhang County, and they came here to seek death. If something happened to the young masters of the two largest families in the town, wouldn’t it cause great trouble for my father?
What's more, they claimed that they made the bet because of themselves. If anything went wrong, someone might gossip about them.
It would be fine if the rumor about the Liu family haunted house was false, but if it was true, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She came here this time to stop them resolutely.
but……
She looked up at Li Chu in front of her, and her heart suddenly moved.
Then Gongsun Rou said firmly, "Since you said you came here because of the bet, fine, I'll go in with you."
ah?
Thank you for the 100 rewards from Silent Sword Dance.
