The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Chapter 1041 Who wants to become a disciple?

When Chu Yu and the other two heard this, they laughed so hard that they almost spat out the barbecue in their mouths.

After the laughter, everyone got back to business.

Xie Yixiu and Du Wu put down their chopsticks.

"Why didn't we sense any ghostly presence this time?"

Shi Yong, Bo Fan and Bian Fei also had the same question.

"Yeah, the three of us didn't smell anything that night."

Shi Rong smiled.

"I guess it's a high-level ghost from the Braided Ghost's lair, sent out specifically to scout out the enemy.

The 'sperm-hiding tablets' someone gave you on your head are just like the breath-holding talismans you draw, they work on the same principle."

Xie Yixiu frowned.

"Then how did you find out?"

Shi Rong laughed again.

“Before entering, I left a red line at the door where the tendons and veins had been blistered with blood, and cast a spell.

Whenever a ghost approaches, it turns black."

Everyone looked in the direction of Shi Rong's finger.

Sure enough, I found a red line as thin as a hair across the edge of the threshold, and it was slowly returning to its original color.

If they hadn't squinted their eyes and looked intently, it would have been difficult to notice.

"You can even think of this trick? You're really awesome, aren't you?"

Xie Yixiu couldn't help but give Shi Rong a thumbs up of praise.

"So, you already know where the Braided Ghost's lair is, right?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have to be so cautious.

Shi Rong raised her eyebrows but did not comment.

"correct."

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table came to Shi Rong curiously.

Shi Yang: "Where is it, baby? Is it far from here?"

Shi Rong shook his head.

"Not far, right under your feet."

"what!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Mingxing, Xia Zhi, and Ji Xinyue screamed at the same time, jumped up in fright, and stomped their feet hard.

He ran around everywhere as if he was afraid that there was some dirt on his body.

They were eating so deliciously just now...

"Where is it? Is it on my back?"

Shi Rong raised his hand and rubbed his temples, which were sore from their quarrels.

"Sister, can you guys keep your voices down? I'm not so arrogant as to dare to eat barbecue in the lair of the braided ghost.

Guess why I placed the dining table so far away from the statue of Guan Gong?"

Chu Yu reacted in an instant.

"Isn't it because you're afraid of being disrespectful to the Second Master?"

Shi Rong was speechless again.

"But I have already offered it."

Xie Yixiu understood.

"You're not trying to say that there's something hidden inside that Guan Gong statue, a secret passage leading to the lair of the braided ghost, are you?"

Shi Rong shook his head.

"Impossible, how dare that braided ghost rebel against the Tian Gang and step on Guan Erye's head to set up a trap?

It’s not like it’s tired of living.”

After eating and drinking her fill, the little woman put down the plate and chopsticks in her hands and took a sip of the functional drink that Shi Yang handed to her.

"Have you really not noticed that there is something wrong with this temple?"

Everyone stopped eating at the same time and took another look at the interior decoration of the temple.

As if he had noticed something, Huo Jiuzhou's deep, dark brown eyes suddenly narrowed and he stared at Shi Rong not far behind him.

The gaps between these lacquered tiles are slightly wider than those of other bricks and stones.

He raised his jade hand slightly and stretched out his long fingers towards the target object.

"In the whole room, that floor tile is the only one that looks like it was added later. There must be something fishy going on underneath."

Shi Rong nodded.

"That's right! Huang Dezhuang was a famous Taoist master during the Qing Dynasty.

Under what circumstances would he be willing to devote himself to this small Guan Gong temple?

If he really wanted to escape, even if he was surrounded by monsters and ghosts, he would still have plenty of ways to get away. The reason why he chose to die here in frustration was that.

Besides the fact that this Guan Gong statue has a powerful effect in warding off evil spirits, there is only one reason:

That is, he secretly opened a passage that could directly lead from Guan Gong Temple to the lair of the Braid Ghost Cave.

Moreover, he started off badly and failed to win the first battle. Instead, he was killed. This Guan Gong Temple was the retreat he had left for himself in advance.

I don’t know if you have noticed the cause of Huang Dezhuang’s death. He died from serious injuries that had not yet healed.

His shoulder blade, clavicle, ribs, arm bones and leg bones all showed signs of fractures and even bone shattering.

If he was really trapped to death, he would have died of muscle atrophy or dehydration.

This kind of serious trauma caused by unnatural external forces could never have been caused by humans.

For example, the weight of a normal person's punch is generally around 80-100 kilograms.

International athletes who have received professional strength training generally punch with a weight of around 200-500 kilograms.

Even talented people like Jiuzhou, Shiyang and Chu Zhaoge.

It can only reach a rare level of around 800-1100 kilograms.

The injuries on Huang Dezhuang's body were equivalent to the force of over a hundred tons of damage caused by three large trucks suspended in the air at the same time.

Therefore, he did not die at the hands of the Braid Demon, but at the hands of its accomplices.

Because when Braid Ghost was alive, she was a frail, delicate woman. Even I can't kill people, so others can't even think about it."

! ! ? ?

After listening to Shi Rong's comprehensive analysis, Shi Yang and others were stunned!

Fei Zeyi: "Master, didn't everyone come in together?

But how come you can see so much all at once when we haven't discovered anything?"

Pei Yanche: "Master, do you have some kind of perpetual motion machine in your head?"

Wa Lu: "Master, where can I find the information you mentioned?"

Shi Rong was completely speechless.

"I've seen that getting you three to start your apprenticeship is harder than climbing to the sky."

"Hahaha."

Huo Jiuzhou laughed out loud, lonely and arrogant.

Tsk!

Pei Yanche pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Then don't become a disciple!"

Who wants to leave the apprenticeship? He doesn't want to leave Shi Rong, really...

Walui nodded.

"Yes."

Xie Yixiu put away his smile and continued what Shi Rong had just said.

"So, you deliberately said before that he was trapped and died here, just to let the ghost outside the door know?

Does this mean it has been on the roof since then?"

Shi Rong nodded.

"Yes, because I guess the Braided Ghost itself probably doesn't know about the Guan Gong Temple and can directly attack its lair.

Otherwise, after so many years, this place would have been destroyed by it.

I asked Dad to put the talisman on so that the ghost detective couldn't see through it and could only eavesdrop. This would make it easier for us to carry out tricks behind its back."

When Shi Yang heard this, a sense of crisis arose in his heart.

"But Rong'er, you should have told us this earlier, even if it was just a gesture in advance. We have been exposed now.

Du Wu also said before that we came here to find the lair of the braid ghost.

That ghost detective must have told his master about this by now, and he's probably on his way here to settle the score with us."

Shi Rong smiled calmly.

"No, do you think it's stupid? It's precisely because we spoke openly that it hesitated to act rashly for a moment."
