Chapter 126: The Trap

The young woman stopped and looked back, which confused the followers around her.

The strong man named Zhang Da also looked back, but he didn't see any suspicious people.

He was slightly curious and asked, "Grandma, what's the matter?"

The young woman thought for a while and said, "Nothing."

After that, she walked into the door first, leaving the followers behind her looking at each other in bewilderment.

Some things don't need to be told to these mortals.

The sudden sense of horror in my heart might be some kind of omen.

Could it be that I was just wandering around and was targeted by something?

For safety reasons, it's better not to go out during this period of time. This Fushan City is a major transportation route between the north and the south. Maybe I accidentally ran into some old monster.

Now that I am in a dangerous place, it's better not to be ostentatious.

If I attract the attention of the group of wizards in the Fire Temple, it will be a bit tricky at that time.

The young woman thought about it and decided not to go out for a while.

Soon after, the witch named Helan Zhen left the courtyard behind the Fire God Temple with a slightly gloomy expression.

Under her jurisdiction, there were actually demons sneaking in, which was undoubtedly a provocation to her.

And if it weren't for the Wolf God's reminder, she wouldn't even know... This demon must not be let go!

Helan Zhen left angrily and immediately summoned the left and right witches.

In the next few days, the Fire God Temple seemed calm, but the wizards at the top were ready to fight and make some preparations.

In the courtyard behind the Fire God Temple, Lu Heng was still flipping through the bamboo slips sent by Helan Zhen, studying the secret techniques in them. He looked calm and didn't seem to care about the unrest in the outside world.

But in fact, Lu Heng didn't need to care.

Fushan City is located in a transportation fortress with many merchants and travelers, and occasionally demons and evil spirits sneak into the city. Therefore, the wizards in the city are quite experienced in how to surround and kill demons and evil spirits.

Lu Heng was an outsider, so he could neither intervene nor did he need to intervene. He only needed to sit in the courtyard and wait quietly for the day when the net would be closed.

The only thing that surprised Lu Heng in this matter was that Huotong Country did not know the existence of Qingming Cave.

When Lu Heng mentioned that the evil spirit came from Qingming Cave, Helan Zhen was confused and had no idea what Qingming Cave was.

This evil place where evil spirits were entrenched was hidden deeper than Lu Heng imagined.

And this time, if the rare flaw of Qingming Cave could be caught, perhaps it could be used as an opportunity to wipe out Qingming Cave.

So Helan Zhen's initial plan was to directly gather people, lay a net, rush into the Wu family, and capture the evil spirit for interrogation.

However, Lu Heng persuaded her to wait and see.

The evil spirits in Qingming Cave mostly acted secretly and silently. The lady Hong knew that she had been seen collecting souls, so she wanted to come and kill her, not wanting to expose her whereabouts.

But now the evil spirit in Fushan City has gone against its usual behavior and sneaked into the crowded Fushan City, disturbing the Wu family under the supervision of the Fire God Temple.

Such high-profile behavior must have its deep meaning. If we can see what the other party wants to do, we may be able to get a glimpse of some rules of the evil spirits in Qingming Cave.

After all, according to Lu Heng's guess, they don't have to wait too long.

On the seventh day after the cremation of Old Master Wu, according to custom, all the elders and shopkeepers of the Wu family will gather together to discuss the position of the head of the Wu family after the old man's death.

No matter what the evil spirit is thinking, she wants to help Wu Zhiyuan, and this day must be the day when the dagger is revealed.

Lu Heng and the others only need to wait for seven days, and they will be able to wait for a big show.

So although He Lanzhen wanted to rush into the Wu family immediately and let the evil spirit be killed, she finally put down her anger temporarily under Lu Heng's consolation.

Although Helan Zhen did not take action immediately, the gloomy atmosphere that was not yet released still affected the high-level officials of the Fire God Temple.

The wizards involved in this matter kept a strict secret while closely monitoring the movements of the Wu family.

Without alerting the Wu family, some seemingly ordinary servants would inform the outside world of the current situation of the Wu family every day.

The Wu family, which was busy with power struggles, had already known the internal situation and disputes in the dark, which no one knew.

Even the courtyard where the demon might live was marked with two or three suspicious locations.

But since that day, the demon no longer showed up in front of people, and seemed to have noticed something and completely hid.

Helan Zhen sneered at this.

She personally stayed near the Wu family and monitored the situation of the Wu family mansion. Once a demon appeared, it would not be able to escape her eyes.

Now that a net has been laid around the Wu family, even if the demon noticed something wrong, it would be too late to escape.

Time passed day by day as Helan Zhen waited.

In the courtyard behind the Fire God Temple, Lu Heng had taken secret books from Helan Zhen three times. Each time, he only gave him two bamboo slips, but the secrets recorded in them were extremely rare outside.

After seeing so many secrets, Lu Heng also understood that what Helan Zhen provided him were basically the top ones in the Fire God Temple in Fushan City.

Such enthusiasm made Lu Heng feel a little embarrassed, and he asked if this was in accordance with the rules.

And the answer given by Helan Zhen was that it was completely in accordance with the rules. The Wolf God could read as much as he wanted, and it was no problem to read all the books in the library.

Lu Heng could only sigh that this Helan Wuzhu was really too hospitable.

As the seven days passed, in the early morning of this day, Lu Heng, who had been reading in the courtyard, rarely put down the bamboo slips.

With a thought in his mind, he came to the nether world.

In the dark and desolate world, the old man of the Wu family is wandering in the vast land of the netherworld.

Although the Netherworld today is empty, the ubiquitous evil spirit is extremely beneficial to the old man.

It floats on the earth, wandering along with the evil spirit, just like lying on the soft clouds to rest, enjoying it incomparably.

Lu Heng's sudden appearance woke up the half-asleep old man and he quickly saluted.

"Wu Yuan has met senior."

Lu Heng smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Mr. Wu, the seven days have come. It's time for me to take you back to the underworld to deal with the Wu family's affairs."

"After you have dealt with this last mundane matter and fulfilled your wish, you can go to the Tunnel of Reincarnation and reincarnate."

Wu Yuan quickly nodded in response, "Thank you for taking care of me, senior, but it's just that it's difficult for me to walk in the world now..."

Lu Heng said with a smile, "No problem, follow me. I can protect you from the scorching sun and the biting cold wind."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and saluted quickly, "Thank you, senior."

Lu Heng smiled, said nothing, waved his sleeves, and took the old man directly out of the Nether World.

In the courtyard under the sunshine, Lu Heng's figure appeared again.

Also appearing at the same time was the translucent soul body of Mr. Wu.

When the bright morning light fell on the old man, he subconsciously wanted to find cover.

But this time, the old man no longer felt the stinging pain that was almost gone when the sun burned him. He was startled for a moment before he remembered that Lu Heng was looking after him.

Lu Heng looked at Huo Feng and Xiao Ai, who was carrying the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Xiao Ai, brother Huo, let's go to Wu's house today to see the excitement."

As for the little Gu Diao Guyan, Lu Heng was left to look after his family.

This little guy had attracted the attention of the evil spirit before. Lu Heng did not intend to take it with him to avoid being noticed by the evil spirit again.

Moreover, this little guy is lively and lively. When the time comes, he will attract everyone's attention when he makes a fuss, fearing that he will alert others.

Little Gu Diao was naturally very dissatisfied with this.

But in the face of Lu Heng's smiling admonishment, he did not dare to object and could only nod obediently. Now he is hanging upside down under the eaves and sulking.

When Lu Heng and the others left, Huo Feng talked to Gu Yan, but the little Gu Diao ignored them.

Huo Feng sighed and said, "It seems that even if this matter is over, I can only wander around the city alone..."

These words suddenly made the little Gu Diao's head turn around.

But at this time, Lu Heng and others left suddenly, and the little Gu Diao could only watch their backs.

Under the morning light, Huo Feng didn't look back, as if he really planned to ignore the little Gu Diao.

Under the eaves, the little Gu Eagle was depressed for a few breaths, and finally screamed twice as a farewell.

Huo Feng, who had already walked out of the small courtyard, couldn't help laughing and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
