I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 19 Who is killing my people?
The old man in front of him seemed to be carved from the same mold as Li Guanzhu, except for his hairstyle and clothes.

If Lu Wujiu had not seen the sinister ghostly aura, he would have struck it with his sword long ago.

However, even so, he was still frightened to the point of chilling his bones.

He calmed himself and looked carefully. There was no ghostly aura or yang energy. It looked like a stone sculpture or clay statue, but the expression and movements were vivid and lifelike.

Illusion?

Or twins from the same mother?
While Lu Wujiu was thinking, Master Li had already approached, and then he passed by without even glancing at him.

Obviously he did not see Lu Wujiu in ghost state.

Lu Wujiu had an idea and picked up a talisman paper out of thin air and stuck it towards the back of Master Li's head, but when he got close, he suddenly stopped.

Master Li seemed to know nothing and continued to carry his hoe and walk towards the fields.

"You really can't see it?"

Lu Wujiu narrowed his eyes. He didn’t know whether the appearance of Master Li Guan was a warning from the owner of this place?
But Lao Luguan knew there was such a big village hidden in the mountains behind the temple. He couldn't figure it out and couldn't sleep well.

He simply put away the talisman paper and continued walking towards the village.

The country road leading to the village is as narrow as a goat's intestine, with locust trees planted interspersed here and there. They are tall and dense, blocking out the rising morning light.

Lu Wujiu walked into the village along the shade of the trees.

At this time, the village had already woken up. Young men carrying hoes, women washing clothes holding wooden basins, old women leaning on crutches, and several young children, barefoot, laughing and chasing each other, passed by.

Two yellow dogs were following their young master with their tongues hanging out. When they passed the corner of a house, they were ambushed by a three-colored cat. They were hit by its claws and fell down in a hurry, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu couldn't help but smile.

However, before he had walked far, the smile on his face froze again.

He stared into the fenced yard next to him. In the yard, a tall and strong man in shorts was chopping firewood, panting with exhaustion.

If Liu Qingtan were here, he would definitely call him "Big Brother"!
Lu Wujiu stopped and observed carefully for a while before continuing on his way. As he reached the next house, his expression grew even colder... He saw his third senior brother.

The third brother was carrying fishing gear and a backpack, looking like he was going out fishing.

He wanted to go over and take a look, but the rising sun blocked his way.

After a stroll around, except for the master and apprentice of Lao Luguan, everything here looks so peaceful and beautiful.

However, the more Lu Wujiu looked, the more he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find out what was wrong for a while. For a moment, he felt very upset.

He strolled around the village along the shade of the trees and just happened to return to the village entrance.

A washerwoman holding a wooden basin was coming towards us with a smile on her face.

The sunlight gently shines on them, making their fair skin appear faintly red, and even the delicate hairs on the surface of their skin seem to be faintly visible in the light and shadow.

The trouser legs are rolled up high, revealing the eye-catching long legs, which makes people unable to help but look at them.

Just with this one glance, Lu Wujiu's expression suddenly froze.

——This group of people has no shadow!!!

Lu Wujiu fell silent. It was said that ghosts had no shadows. If they were ghosts, then what about him?
After a long time, he walked back the way he came and saw Master Li working in the fields.

His figure flashed, and he took his body out of the human skin book, and then his soul returned to its place.

As he stepped into the sunlight, he subconsciously looked down. The rising sun made his shadow extremely long.

He pondered for a moment, then walked along the ridge of the field to the front of Master Li and asked, "Old man, may I ask where this is?"

Li Guanzhu looked up blankly, saw Lu Wujiu, and smiled, "Young man, did you also come in by mistake?" Lu Wujiu's heart moved, and he followed up with "Yes, yes, you too?"

"That's right. My sheep was lost, and I was so anxious that I rushed into the mountains to look for it. And guess what? That's how I discovered this paradise!"

"I see. Then may I ask, old sir, where is this?"

"It's a paradise on earth! Young man, I tell you, since you're here, why not stay? There's a house, land, and unmarried girls in the village. It's better than staying outside and paying endless taxes!"

"So good?" Lu Wujiu narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, "Mr. Old Man, did you come here alone? Without...your family?"

"How could I not? As an old man, I brought my two good-for-nothing sons in here too. Each of them got a house, so we can be neighbors!"

Lu Wujiu looked at the beaming Li Guanzhu in front of him and asked seriously, "Old Master, do you really not remember your own life experience?"

Li Guanzhu subconsciously said, "What are you talking about, young man? I was born and raised in Changxing Village. How can I not know my own life experience?"

Lu Wujiu said, "Do you know that you have a mole on your left chest? Take a look if you don't believe me."

Master Li was stunned. He put down his hoe doubtfully and undressed in front of Lu Wujiu. When he opened his clothes, he saw a "centipede" lying on his chest. The fine stitches moved with the trembling of the skin, just like the legs of a centipede.

Lu Wujiu's expression became complicated.

He vaguely realized why Ji Tao's body was here.

But when did the bodies of Li Guanzhu and his apprentice come here? How come he didn't know?
"Where's the mole? Where's the mole? Young man, I see you're handsome, so don't talk nonsense. Are you teasing me?"

"You really don't know who you are?"

"Hey, young man, why are you talking so weird?"

Lu Wujiu narrowed his eyes and said in a thunderous voice: "Old man, let me tell you that you are Li You, the master of Laolu Temple!!!"

"Li You? Li... You?"

Li Guanzhu was struck by lightning, mumbling incoherently, his expression bewildered, and suddenly went mad:
"Yes, Li You! I am Li You, the master of Laolu Temple, Li You!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body trembled, and he fell to the ground with a "thump". The dark shadow slowly flowed out from under him like blood.

At this moment, Li Guanzhu's lifelike face quickly withered and decayed, and it was difficult to recognize his appearance in life.

"who--"

“Who is killing my people?”

A sharp scream suddenly came from behind Lu Wujiu, startling him so much that he turned around suddenly.

There was no one behind him.

He pondered for a moment, then bowed and said:
"I am Lu Wujiu, and may I ask if you are the master of this valley?"

"Lu Wujiu, you and I have nothing to do with each other, why are you killing my people?"

An extremely angry questioning voice sounded beside Lu Wujiu, but no one was visible.

Lu Wujiu sneered and pointed at the corpse beside him.
"This is the corpse of the former abbot of Lao Lu Temple. Shouldn't you explain why it appears here at this time?"

"Explain? What do I need to explain? I am the God of Laolu Mountain. Everything under the land belongs to me. Why should I explain to you?"

The sound surrounding him was extremely strong!
Just as he finished speaking, there was a strange noise coming from the village in the distance. Looking up, he saw countless villagers pouring out, forming a human wall, like an army formation on the battlefield, slowly walking towards Lu Wujiu, giving off a very oppressive feeling.

"Lu Wujiu, give me an explanation immediately."
