Chapter 467: House Fight Turns into Thriller 6
Upon hearing this, Lord Liu's face suddenly changed, and a trace of fear and anxiety flashed in his eyes. He stood up suddenly and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say? The young lady is missing? How is this possible!"
The maid knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly, and her voice was filled with tears: "Master, it's true. The young lady was resting in her room tonight, but when I went to check just now, I found that her room was empty. Moreover, her clothes and jewelry were still there, but she was gone."
Liu Ruyan and the concubines were also shocked when they heard this. They gathered around and asked the maid about the details. The maid knelt on the ground and answered their questions one by one, but her eyes were full of fear and confusion.
Lord Liu had calmed down by now. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He looked at Liu Ruyan and said, "Ruyan, you must immediately gather the guards and servants in the mansion and look for the whereabouts of the young lady. You must find her back!"
Liu Ruyan nodded and immediately turned around to make arrangements. She summoned the guards and servants in the mansion, divided them into several teams, and searched for Liu Luo everywhere in the mansion. However, as time passed, they still could not find Liu Luo.
Lord Liu waited anxiously in the hall, his heart filled with fear and worry. He didn't know where Liu Luo had gone, let alone whether she had been killed by a female ghost. He prayed in his heart, hoping that Liu Luo would be safe.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a guard suddenly rushed in. He looked panicked, as if he had seen something terrible.
"Master, it's bad! We found traces of the young lady by the well in the back garden!" said the guard.
When Lord Liu heard this, his heart sank. He immediately stood up and followed the guards to the well in the back garden. He saw some clothes and jewelry scattered by the well, which belonged to Liu Luo. And from the well, there were faint cries for help.
"Lolo! Luo'er! Is that you?" Lord Liu lay beside the well, shouting Liu Luo's name loudly.
Liu Luo's weak voice came from the well: "Father, it's me...save me...I'm so scared..."
Lord Liu was filled with grief when he heard this. He immediately ordered his guards to find ropes and ladders to go down the well to rescue the people. However, just as he was about to go down the well, a black shadow suddenly flashed by.
"Ah!" Lord Liu screamed and took a few steps back. He looked closely and saw a female ghost in white clothes and disheveled hair standing by the well, looking at him coldly.
"You... who are you? Why do you want to harm the people of my Liu Mansion!" Lord Liu shouted angrily.
The female ghost sneered and said, "I am Xiao Cui, a maid in the Liu Mansion. I died because I was wrongly accused, and my heart is full of resentment. Today I want to seek justice for myself!"
After saying that, the female ghost rushed towards Lord Liu. Lord Liu was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly. Fortunately, the guards arrived in time and protected him behind them.
"Quick! Catch her!" Lord Liu ordered loudly.
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately rushed towards the ghost. However, the ghost was like a ghost, erratic. She dodged left and right, never letting the guards catch her.
Just as everyone was fighting with the female ghost, a golden light suddenly flashed. The female ghost screamed and her body trembled slightly. She turned her head and saw the Taoist priest standing not far away, holding a magic sword and looking at her coldly.
"Hmph! Witch! Today is the day you die!" the Taoist shouted angrily.
After saying that, the Taoist priest swung the magic sword and attacked the female ghost. Seeing this, the female ghost retreated in fear. She knew she was no match for the Taoist priest, so she wanted to escape. However, the Taoist priest had already caught up with her. He held the magic sword in his hand, waving it while chanting a spell: "The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the magic! Demons and ghosts, show up quickly!"
As the Taoist chanted, a golden light shot out from the magic sword and hit the female ghost. The female ghost screamed and was hit by the golden light. Her body began to become blurred, as if it was about to dissipate.
"Please spare my life! Taoist priest, please spare my life!" the female ghost begged.
The Taoist snorted coldly and said, "You have committed many evil deeds and killed many people. Today is the day you will die!"
After saying this, the Taoist priest swung his magic sword again. A golden light flashed, and the ghost girl's body completely dissipated into the air.
Lord Liu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He looked at the Taoist priest gratefully and said, "Thank you for saving my life again, Taoist priest! May I know your name?"
The Taoist smiled and said, "I am a wandering Taoist priest with no name or surname. You just need to remember that I am a man who exorcises demons and monsters."
After saying this, the Taoist turned and left. Lord Liu looked at the Taoist's back as he left, his heart filled with gratitude and respect. He knew that he was able to escape again today thanks to the Taoist's help.
At this time, Liu Luo in the well had also been rescued. She was pale and weak, but fortunately she was not seriously injured. Lord Liu looked at her, his heart full of guilt and love. He knew that as a father, he had failed to protect her and let her suffer so much fright and hardship.
"Luo'er, don't be afraid. Father is here and will not let you come into any harm again." Lord Liu stroked Liu Luo's hair and said gently.
Liu Luo nestled in the arms of Lord Liu, feeling the warmth and love of her father. Her heart was filled with gratitude and happiness, as if all the fear and pain had disappeared.
However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came. Lord Liu looked up and saw Liu Ruyan and several guards running over in a hurry.
"Father, it's bad! We found traces of another female ghost in the mansion!" Liu Ruyan said.
Lord Liu was shocked again when he heard this. He didn't expect there was another female ghost in this mansion! He immediately stood up and asked, "Where is she? Take me to see her!"
Liu Ruyan nodded and brought Lord Liu and the guards to a remote corner of the mansion. There was a dilapidated hut with its doors and windows closed, as if there was something terrible inside.
Lord Liu walked to the hut, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open. It was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything. He ordered the guards to light torches, and then walked in carefully.
The house was empty, with nothing in it. However, just as they were about to leave, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew past, and then a female ghost in red clothes and with a pale face appeared in front of them.
"You... who are you? Why are you breaking into my territory?" the female ghost asked in a hoarse voice.
Lord Liu looked at the ghost and was horrified. He didn't expect that the ghost was so vicious and scary. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"We are from the Liu Mansion. Who... who are you? Why are you doing evil here?" asked Lord Liu.
The female ghost sneered and said, "I am Xiaohong, the personal maid of the former wife of the Liu Mansion. I was framed and killed by the people of the Liu Mansion, and my heart is full of resentment. Today I want to seek justice for myself!"
