Chapter 397 The old knife-holder appears?
The next moment, the general let out a painful roar, his body flew out uncontrollably, and then fell heavily on the platform.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the platform was shattered and turned into a pile of rubble.
The general's tall body fell into the rubble and he was unable to get up for a long time.
There were still more than thirty people in the hall, but they didn't make any sound, and even their breathing seemed to have stopped.
The eyes of more than thirty people were now looking at Lin Fan and Lu Xiaofeng, with strange expressions in their eyes.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even though these people were not the general's friends, they were still accomplices.
Now that Lin Fan has injured the general, these people are likely to become his and Lin Fan's enemies.
They had just arrived at this strange mountain villa and had already made more than thirty enemies. It was really not a pleasant thing.
Lin Fan didn't take it to heart.
Although there were many people present, they posed little threat to him.
If these people wanted to avenge the general, it would not be difficult for Lin Fan to defeat them all or even kill them all.
Suddenly, Lin Fan's eyes flickered slightly.
A gray shadow flashed by, and the general on the rubble pile disappeared.
Immediately, he saw a man in gray slowly walking out the door, and the general was held by this man.
Soon, the man in gray left the hall with the general.
In the hall, more than thirty masters from Ghost Villa all stood up and slowly walked out behind the man in gray.
Lin Fan and Lu Xiaofeng were the only two people left in the hall.
"This is troublesome," Lu Xiaofeng walked to Lin Fan and laughed bitterly.
With his sharp eyes and ears, he didn't even notice how the man in gray appeared, nor did he notice how the other party took the general directly to the door.
From this point of view, the gray-clothed man's cultivation strength is probably much higher than his.
Moreover, in addition to the man in gray, there were more than thirty strong men from Ghost Villa.
If these people united to deal with him and Lin Fan, Lu Xiaofeng felt that they might have to stay here forever.
"With your intelligence, you should have figured out that they had no intention of attacking us, otherwise they would have done so now."
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said casually.
"That's true. Brother Lin sees it clearly. Never mind, let's take it one step at a time..." Lu Xiaofeng's four eyebrows moved at the same time, and then he suddenly smiled.
Lin Fan also smiled and then walked out of the hall.
Lu Xiaofeng followed Lin Fan without any hesitation.
It was dark outside the hall, but in the darkness, there was a person who seemed to be waiting for them.
It was a woman in red.
"Congratulations!"
She looked at Lin Fan and Lu Xiaofeng and smiled.
"Why congratulate us?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"Because you are not dead yet, isn't this a happy thing?" said the woman in red with a smile.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "It is indeed a happy and congratulatory thing."
Lin Fan stood aside, silently watching Lu Xiaofeng and the woman in red talking, without saying anything.
According to the conversation between the two, the man in gray seemed to be Old Daobazi, the owner of Ghost Manor.
However, Lin Fan has not yet confirmed whether the man in gray is the real Old Daobazi, or the Taoist Mu.
They only met briefly through the bamboo hat, so Lin Fan was not sure whether the man was wearing a disguise like a human skin mask.
He vaguely remembered that in the original play, Mu Dao Ren once found someone to pretend to be Lao Dao Ba Zi, and even personally took action to kill people to silence them.
The real old knife holder is Mu Dao Ren.
Although Lin Fan knew the truth of the matter, he did not have any evidence that could convince everyone.
Therefore, he planned to stay in Ghost Manor temporarily with Lu Xiaofeng to watch a good show.
"Come with me," the woman in red said to the two of them after she finished bickering with Lu Xiaofeng.
After saying that, she left first.
Lin Fan and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other and followed the woman in red.
Soon, the two were taken to two adjacent simple wooden houses.
"These two wooden houses are your residences. From now on, you can only stay in the wooden houses. You are not allowed to come out until the bell rings. Also, you are not allowed to enter each other's rooms."
The woman in red looked at the wooden house and said to Lin Fan and Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng and Lin Fan exchanged a glance, then asked, "Is this what Old Daobazi meant?"
"That's right," said the woman in red.
Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Can we meet him now?"
"No," the woman in red said with a straight face, "When he wants to see you, you won't be able to refuse even if you want to."
Lin Fan said calmly, "Then we will be waiting for the arrival of Old Knife Boss."
After saying that, Lin Fan walked towards the wooden house on the left.
Lu Xiaofeng was behind and said a few words to the woman in red, then walked towards the wooden house on the right.
After returning to the wooden house, Lin Fan did not sleep, but chose to meditate and recuperate.
At Lin Fan's current level, even if he doesn't sleep for a few days, it won't have much impact.
……
The next morning, the valley was filled with thick fog, and the cabin seemed to be floating in the clouds.
Lin Fan was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating when he heard a knock on the door. He stood up and opened the door.
Standing at the door was a dull-looking pockmarked man with a mouth full of yellow teeth, who looked rather unappetizing.
In the hand of the pockmarked man was a large food box, which contained six dishes, a soup, and a serving of white rice.
However, there was only a small portion of each dish, and even the white rice was very little.
Next to Lin Fan, Lu Xiaofeng was also standing at the door. Seeing Lin Fan coming out, he waved to him and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Lin, it looks like we're going to have a hard time. This little bit of food isn't even enough to fill us up."
Lin Fan smiled and teased, "How about you use your expertise with women and go find that woman in red and ask her to put in a good word for you and get some more food?"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. As long as I don't starve to death, that's all that matters. If I leave the cabin now, I might be killed by Old Knife Handle and his men."
"Although I eat less now, at least I'm still alive, which is a happy thing after all."
Lin Fan smiled and said nothing.
"Your food is quite good. For example, this pork knuckle is twice as big as the one I had yesterday."
At this moment, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared at the door of Lu Xiaofeng's room, and said in a faint voice.
Lu Xiaofeng introduced Lin Fan, "This is Mr. Youhun. He chatted with me last night."
Lu Xiaofeng was about to introduce Lin Fan to Youhun, but Youhun said, "I've heard of the name of Hero Lin Fan many times, even in this Ghost Villa. He doesn't need an introduction."
Lu Xiaofeng turned to look at Lin Fan, a smile on his face, "It seems that Brother Lin is indeed well-known."
