Hefting his saber, Lu Sheng hurried over to check. He saw a small doll lying quietly on the ground. It was the same doll that had been hung on the beam.
He reached out to pick it up. There was a deep cut on its surface, and blood was still seeping out.
"Is this the source?" Lu Sheng looked left and right, but did not find anything else.
With a creak, Xu Chui hurried over from behind, sword in hand.
"Sir?" he asked in a low voice.
Lu Sheng stood up and held the doll in his hand. He could feel the wisps of Yin Qi emanating from it. He walked to the broken mirror base, stepped on the messy glass shards, and looked down at the copper mirror base.
Gently lifting the mirror up, he noticed that the dog had disappeared from the three animal patterns on the back of the bronze seat.
"Three animals. Could it be that there are three types of ghosts?"
"Sir. Something's not right. "Beside him, Xu Chui's expression was solemn as he looked around warily.
"Such a huge commotion, and yet no one in the Holy Fame Plaza is alarmed. Under normal circumstances, there should be quite a number of people up to see what's going on. But there's no commotion outside at all! "
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he turned around and rushed out of the room.
"Whoosh …"
A light breeze blew past him.
It was not a courtyard outside, but a vast, empty field of hay.
The dried and harvested field was filled with bundles of bundled straws. Some places even had burn marks.
The moonlight was cold, and in the distance, a mountain range could be seen.
"This is …" Lu Sheng turned back. The study he had walked out of had disappeared. Xu Chui was nowhere to be seen either. Clearly, he was the only one who had entered.
"Count to ten."
"Don't peek!"
"Run! Hahaha. "
Lu Sheng heard the voices of children. Looking towards the direction of the voices, he saw a few black figures jogging away.
"That silly girl really believed that we'd play with her."
"I heard that her mother is a prostitute. How disgusting."
"That's right. Who would want to play with the children of such people? They'd look down on us if word got out."
"But isn't it a little bad to leave her here alone?"
"Her mother will come for her. Don't worry about it."
"That's true."
Lu Sheng watched as the few black shadows slowly melted into the night and disappeared without a trace. He had a faint guess in his heart.
He turned around and looked at the piles of straw.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
A faint and indistinct voice echoed from the field.
Lu Sheng sucked in a deep breath. With a flip of his hand, he drew the other saber from his back and held it in his hand. He strode in the direction of the voice.
The fields were full of dry soil and wheat ears. It felt like stepping on thick grass.
Lu Sheng crossed a few haystacks and quickly arrived in front of the largest haystack.
A light blue little girl had her back to him, lying motionlessly on a pile of hay.
"Four."
"Five."
"Six."
The little girl had two coarse braids. Her hands covered her face as if she was playing a game with someone.
Lu Sheng held the saber and stopped a few meters away from her.
"Seven."
"Eight."
"Nine."
"Ten."
He counted to ten.
Lu Sheng's muscles tensed up. He was ready to start at any moment.
"I'm going to start looking. Are you ready? "
Just then, the little girl suddenly spoke.
Her voice was distant and calm, with a hint of eeriness and eeriness.
Lu Sheng did not reply. The little girl should be talking to other children, but he felt like she was talking to him.
"What is this place?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
The little girl had her back to him. She did not reply. She just stood there.
"Or, do you think you've defeated me?" Lu Sheng waved the two large sabers in his hands. He was probing, trying to figure out what kind of ghost this person belonged to.
"I'm going to start looking, okay?" the little girl said calmly.
"Shall we begin?" Lu Sheng looked around at the haystacks around him and suddenly laughed.
"Bam!"
He kicked fiercely, knocking over a pile of straw on the side.
"Come on. Hack me to death, or be hacked to death by me! " He was starting to get impatient. With a clang, the twin sabers crossed in front of him. Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill began to circulate throughout his body. A protective blood web spread out around him. If the invisible inner Qi could be seen, he would be like a human-shaped torch, burning fiercely.
The little girl turned around slowly, her hands covering her face. Her face could not be seen, but her greenish blue skin could be seen. Stiff and pale.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, she disappeared from the spot.
Lu Sheng abruptly raised his twin sabers and slashed forward to the side.
"CLANG!!!"
With a deafening crash, a petite figure was sent flying. She disappeared again in midair.
When she reappeared, she was behind Lu Sheng. A glowing blue palm clawed at him.
"Swish!"
As if she had clawed at steel, faint yellow sparks flew from Lu Sheng's neck.
With a low roar, he threw himself backwards. Supporting the blood web with his inner Qi, he wrapped it around his back. With a flip of his sabers, he slashed horizontally behind him.
"Thud! Thud! "
The sabers hit the straw at the side and missed.
"Swish swish swish swish swish!!"
In the field, yellow sparks erupted from Lu Sheng's body in an instant. A dark blue silhouette appeared beside Lu Sheng at high speed, its venomous claws clawing wildly at his body.
Lu Sheng slashed twice, but could not catch up. Too lazy to move, he closed his eyes and raised his upper body for her to scratch.
Large amounts of sparks flew from his body. Any ordinary person would have been smashed into minced meat. But to him, it was no different from a massage.
For several breaths, Lu Sheng stood where he was, only occasionally covering his ears and eyes. He allowed the sparks to fly from his body.
All of a sudden, his eyes widened, and his entire body slammed forward.
"Bam!!"
A light blue silhouette happened to grab his forehead, but it was knocked on the head by him and was sent flying. Before it could fly away, Lu Sheng wrapped an arm around it and pulled it back, smashing its forehead hard.
"Thud!"
The little girl was knocked unconscious. She was held in Lu Sheng's arms and hit her head a few more times.
"Thud! Thud! Thud thud thud thud!! "
Lu Sheng kept hitting the little girl's forehead with his head. In just a few hits, the little girl's head was smashed. Clumps of blood mixed with messy filth fell from her neck along with her bones and neck membrane. Only a headless corpse was left in Lu Sheng's hand and raised high.
The huge saber was about to chop down on the corpse.
"Bam!"
What Lu Sheng didn't expect was for the corpse's legs to kick him in the chest, and he jumped off his hand with a ripping sound.
He was originally holding the little girl's waist, but now there was only a piece of flesh left in his hand. The side of the waist was also missing a large piece of flesh, which was the part that he was still holding.
"Oh?" Lu Sheng was a little surprised. He looked at the headless corpse, stumbling and running away.
Thud!
He swung his saber like lightning.
The saber flew out and hit the corpse's legs, cutting them off at the base. The saber's blade carried a scorching hot inner Qi, which instantly caused the corpse to roll on the ground in pain.
"That's it?" Lu Sheng looked at the corpse, bored. "If I'm not wrong, this should represent the fox."
The headless corpse struggled for a while, then slowly faded and disappeared.
The rice paddy returned to silence.
"Then, there's the last one, the phoenix. All three animals are you." Lu Sheng looked around, then slowly walked towards the place where the corpse disappeared.
A light blue tattered cloth lay quietly on the ground. He picked it up, felt the Yin Qi on it, and put it in his pocket.
Suddenly, he felt a faint numbness on his back, as if a needle was pricking him.
"Who's there!"
Lu Sheng turned around abruptly.
Far behind him, a young woman with disheveled hair and dirty clothes stood in the field, staring at him quietly.
The woman was dressed in a mess, as if she had put on many pairs of clothes from different seasons. Her chest and lower body were pulled open, revealing a pair of white thighs. There was dried blood on the inside of her thighs.
"Her mother is crazy!"
"Crazy! Crazy bitch!! "
"How did this crazy bitch survive? She didn't eat, and she brought a child with her. Who knows whose child it is. "
"How else can she survive? If it weren't for the help of the men in the village, queuing up every day … "
"Shh … lower your voice."
"Wasn't this the reason why the village chief brought her back? What's there to hide?"
"Beat her to death! Beat this crazy bitch to death! "
"Shove her into a pig cage! How dare she seduce my man!! "
A cacophony of voices, shouts, and curses echoed in Lu Sheng's ears.
"That child, she probably doesn't know her mother is dead, right? Every day when she goes back, she hears her calling for her mother. It's so creepy. "
"Crazy every day, just like her mother. I heard someone saw the man from the Chen family go to that house again last night …"
"Seducing men at such a young age, what a bitch!"
"Maybe it's the help of the men in the village that she can grow up to this age."
As Lu Sheng listened, he looked at the crazy woman standing not far from him. His eyes narrowed again.
"Do you hate her?"
A low voice sounded in his ears.
"Your mother actually died two years ago, but even though she's crazy, she still couldn't bear to leave you, and still took care of you every day."
"Who did this to you?"
"Who killed your mother?"
"Who abandoned you in the cold paddy field?"
The voice asked again and again in a low voice.
"I … I just wanted someone to play with me …" A timid, soft, and weak voice of a girl slowly sounded.
"Go in … once you enter this mirror, there will always be someone to play with you." The low voice had a hint of temptation.
Boom!!!
In an instant, a large ball of red light exploded, and the area ten meters around Lu Sheng was completely turned into a sea of fire. A large amount of hay was ignited, and the flames crackled and burned. Thick smoke billowed, and ashes flew everywhere.
