Chapter 2 Cheats

  At the end of Kurenai Street is a wealthy neighborhood.   The Lu Mansion was also here and was one of them.   The carriage drove all the way into the end of Ku Rong Street and entered a garden-like area.   Grayish-white stone walls surrounded this area into a large oval.   The Road Mansion was just to the left of the entrance to the area.   The black door with red lanterns and white snow covering the two stone qilin at the entrance made the mansion look more and more quiet and serene.   The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Lu Mansion, Lu Sheng got down from the carriage, the door of the mansion had also long been heard, slowly opening the door, there were attendants waiting at the door to greet them.   As soon as Lu Sheng and Xiaoqiao entered the door, they saw a man and a woman standing on the stone bridge on the right side of the mansion.   The man is handsome and dashing, with a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with a strong Confucian temperament.   The woman is gentle and soft, light smile again and again, eyebrows like a picture, slender waist and long legs, is also the temperament of a great lady.   Lu Sheng's thoughts were slightly broken, and when he saw those two, he was also in a slightly better mood, so he took the initiative to walk over to greet them.   "Brother Xu, cousin has been thinking about you for quite a few days, why did you only come today?" He smiled and walked onto the stone bridge.   The man turned his head and saw Lu Sheng as well and laughed.   "It's Mr. Sheng ah, I was ordered to investigate a case earlier, and only just finished it, so I came over to see Yi Yi. Don't blame me for this, no one can disobey orders from above."   "A case? Is there any big case in the city recently? Do you need to labor Big Brother Xu to personally go out?" Lu Sheng was aware of the position of this Big Brother Xu, Xu Daoran.   He was the county lieutenant of Tongzhi County under Jiu Lian City, responsible for coordinating all public security.   The position of the county lieutenant was only under the county magistrate, and was equivalent to the public security director of the entire Tongzhi County.   "A few small fishing village cases, but they are now closed." Xu Daoran smiled gently, "Rather, Xiao Sheng, when do you plan to come and help my brother? Before, you promised to come out and help me manage the public order planning on the Tongzhi side."   Where did Lu Sheng remember that this body had promised something before, he hastily snorted to cope with it and hurriedly changed the topic.   "Fishing village, can't it be that what water ghost haunting rumor?"   "Where is what water ghost, is a crazy person, because of the grudge stimulation, completely crazy, everywhere plotting to kill people, already beheaded by me on the spot." Xu Daoran shook his head and said indifferently, "The case is closed, so let's not talk about these spoilers. Xiao Sheng do you still remember what I promised Yi Yi last time?"   "To go to the Red Lotus Temple for incense and incidentally trekking?"   Lu Sheng quickly smiled and answered.   "You do remember these playful things clearly." Xu Daoran said helplessly, "You're not too old, you're also nineteen this year, right? It's time to find some work to do, you can't live like this for the rest of your life, right?"   He had watched Lu Sheng grow up since he was a child, because of the relationship between the two families, he had always regarded Lu Sheng as his younger brother.   At this time, he couldn't help but speak out to advise him.   Lu Sheng then shook his head and laughed.   "Brother Xu do you want me to join the civil service or business?"   "Of course it is to join the civil service, this is also your father's wish. Your uncle, your great uncle, they all want you to go out and help them as early as possible. After all, you are the son of the Lu family."   Xu Daoran advised.   "This matter is not to be mentioned, there is no hurry, I am still young, where is the reason to be so anxious to push your own eldest son out."   Lu Sheng was unimpressed, and waffled willy-nilly.   Xu Daoran and Lu Yi Yi were both speechless and couldn't say anything more about him.   Lu Sheng didn't want to continue into that topic, so he took the initiative to digress and led Xiaoqiao in the direction of his bedroom.   Returning to his bedroom, he changed his clothes, took the pebble, and didn't go to pay his respects to his old father, but went to the back garden alone.   Xu Daoran came from the Xu family, which, like the Lu family, was a first-class big family in the JiuLian City in the northern part of the city, with open branches in the family, all of whom held positions in various important positions in the city.   Lu Sheng's feeling towards Xu Daoran is still good, this person is a generous person, there is nothing selfish, to Yi Yi is also really like.   To him Lu Sheng is also as affable as a big brother.   Just ......   Lu Sheng pinched the pebbles, and remembered the scene he saw before, and the death process of that water ghost killed that he coincidentally heard at the city gate.   "In this world, in the end, are there ghosts and monsters, are there immortals ......?"   He looked at the snowy garden, his heart vaguely had an indescribable annoyance.   "Perhaps it's really as Brother Xu said, it's just a misrepresentation for people."   He shook his head, ultimately keeping a trace of luck in his heart.   In the evening he went back to his room very early to wash up and sleep.   Today's events had left him puzzled for a while, and with too many things on his mind, he tired quickly.   He slept until the next morning, when the sky just dawned.   Knock, knock, knock!   A sharp knock sounded on the door.   Lu Sheng snapped his eyes open, straightened up from the bed, and looked towards the door.   "Who is it!"   "Gongzi is not well!" It was Xiao Qiao's voice.   Lu Sheng hurriedly got out of bed and went over to open the door, as soon as he opened the door, he saw that Xiao Qiao's face was frighteningly white without any blood color.   This little girl's somewhat baby fat face was violently trembling at this time.   "Xu ...... Xu ...... Xu ...... Xu ......"   At the sight of Lu Sheng, a hint of an unsettling premonition vaguely rose in his heart.   "In the end what's wrong? Shu breath first!"   He reached out and patted vigorously on Xiao Qiao's back.   Only then did Xiao Qiao's breath flow smoothly.   With a sobbing breath, he spoke out.   "The Xu family ...... Lord Xu's family, it's all over!!!"   Lu Sheng froze.   Xiao Qiao quickly put on Lu Sheng's outer clothes, and the two of them ran towards the outer mansion without saying a word.   The head of the Lu family, Lu Fang, was standing outside the mansion with his hands behind his back and a hint of trembling in his gloomy face.   Three large black double-rowed carriages were parked beside him.   Lu Sheng, along with the rest of the mansion's cousins and others, quickly saluted Lu Fang, and everyone boarded the carriages.   Lu Fang and Lu Sheng sat together, the two fathers and sons looked at each other and did not speak to anyone in the carriage.   Lu Fang was more than sixty years old, with a white beard, thin figure and handsome face, he looked more like a scholar and celebrity than a merchant.   The carriage hoofed it non-stop and soon arrived outside the city gates of Jiu Lian City.   As soon as Lu Sheng got off the carriage, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.   On the snowy ground on the left side of the carriage road outside the city gate, dozens of corpses were lying neatly.   From old to young, male to female.   All of them were actually from the Xu Family!   They were wearing the customized robe style of the Xu family, and Xu Daoran was lying in the middle of the third row.   His face was iron blue, his body was stiff, his eyes were tightly closed, and his expression carried an incomparable fear, as if he had seen something extremely frightening.   Lu Sheng looked at the official constables maintaining order at the scene, and saw his own father, Lu Fang, go up and stand in front of an old man's body without saying a word, his fists clenched.   There was also the governor who had heard the news.   That face, it was as white as the surrounding snow.   Lu Sheng took a deep breath and slowly walked over to a constable.   "How did it die?"   That constable also recognized him, knew his identity, and sighed.   "All of them were hanged to death by water plants hanging from the beams in their own mansions. I don't know where the water plants ...... came from."   "Yi Yi! Yi Yi!!!"   Suddenly a cry of alarm came from behind her. Obviously, it was Cousin Yi Yi who had fainted.   Lu Sheng took a deep breath and remembered the words Xu Daoran had said to him only yesterday.   He had only just returned from closing the case in the fishing village ......   Fishing village ......   The Water Ghost ......   That weird pebble ......   For a while Lu Sheng thought about many, many things.   He had actually only come to this world for a few days, and he didn't have a deep bond with Xu Daoran, so all he had right now was regret and consternation. But not the grief that others expected.   It wasn't that he had never seen a dead person before.   Rather, he had never seen so many dead people.   "Where is the Xu family's Red Ridge Daoist?"   He heard Lu put in to ask the constable.   "In another place, the body was divided into several pieces, and part of it was also gnawed ...... by wild beasts," the constable replied in a low voice.   There was a silence.   Whether it was the people of the Lu family, the governor, or the people gathered at the city gates.   "The Red Ridge Taoist's hand of fast swords is one step better than Uncle Zhao ......" Lu Fang's voice slowly lowered.   Uncle Zhao was one of the strongest martial arts masters employed by the Lu family.   The Red Ridge Taoist is even stronger than Uncle Zhao, but he is actually also dead.   This case was no longer a mere murder case, but a case big enough to threaten everyone present!   How many of the people present dared to say that they were stronger than the Xu family?   Everyone, including the governor, did not dare to say so.   Lu Sheng stood on the side of the road in silence, he originally thought that this world was safe, it was just a replica of the ancient Chinese world.   There were some subtle surprises, and it was no big deal.   But now it seems ......   He touched the pebble in his sleeve pocket.   The pebble was incredibly hot at the moment.   He touched the stone out, hesitated, or gently threw it away.   This thing, it could cause trouble.   The Xu Family, which had the same strong roots as his Lu Family, had actually been wiped out overnight.   This made Lu Sheng's heart extremely irritated.   After thinking about it, he suddenly walked to the edge of the pebble again and bent down to pick it up.   Giggling.   Not knowing when, his index finger was accidentally scratched by a weed that was spiked out in the snow.   The weeds were endemic razor blade grasses, the edges of the leaves were extremely sharp like knife blades.   Lu Sheng's finger was instantly scratched, and a little bit of blood dripped onto the surface of that pebble.   "Gongzi?" Xiao Qiao followed closely behind him, a little worried, her little face crying. Obviously Xu Daoran's death was a blow to her as well.   Lu Sheng's body froze in place.   An extremely special syllable suddenly appeared in his mind.   "Welcome to the Deep Blue Skill Cheat."   Lu Sheng's two eyes instantly froze.   Then it took a long time before he came back to his senses.   He looked at the blue translucent box that floated out in front of his eyes, and within it was clearly his name and the skills he had mastered.   "Isn't this the little cheat that ...... I programmed on my cell phone to come up with?!"   Lu Sheng felt like he was going crazy, hallucinating one after another.   Even if he was reborn and crossed over into a rich son with no hands.   Now he was actually seeing hallucinations!   In his previous life, when he was bored, he played a small game of chaotic swordsman biography, because the game was too difficult, he made up a simple modification of the game's martial arts cheats.   He named it Deep Blue Cheat. Speaking of which, that voice just now was still recorded by himself personally with a voice changer.   Unexpectedly ......   Then Lu Sheng decisively went to look at the interface inside the box carefully.   The interface was extremely simple, with only one small grid densely packed.   On the top was written:   Lu Sheng--   Martial Arts: None.
