"Don't worry, it will be done soon." Lian held the teapot leisurely, looking just like a Feng Shui master holding a Feng Shui Bagua plate.
"Sha-sha-" The dense woods swayed in the wind, as if they were calling out softly: "Silly-silly-"
The leaves were fluttering, and the ground was mottled with light and shadow. It was clearly summer, but it felt eerie and strange.
Fu Mingrui's whole body went numb when he saw the bright spots all over the ground. There were many insects in the forest, so he naturally thought of the horrible sight of the black insects wriggling.
Lian Youyou stopped, looked around, raised her hand to open the lid of the teapot, blew gently at the spout of the teapot, and immediately, a blue butterfly flew out of the teapot.
Fu Mingsui was also surprised when he saw the blue butterfly. After all, there had never been such a beautiful blue butterfly in the capital.
"Is that the blue butterfly transformed by Ma Yun? So beautiful!" Fu Mingsui is also a person who loves beauty, so his wife is also a first-class beauty.
Fu Mingrui reminded him uncomfortably: "Although the butterfly is beautiful, it is a corpse eater. It eats corpses."
Fu Mingrui's words stunned Fu Mingsu. It was natural for butterflies to chase flowers, so how could there be a butterfly that eats corpses
Fu Mingrui patted his shoulder again: "Brother, didn't you ask what the Nine Gates do? I can only say that the Nine Gates do this. You can regard them as charlatans, but what they know is something that you and I may not know in this lifetime, and it's best... never to know it." Fu Mingrui added at the end, shook his head, and with regret in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and followed Lian Youyou.
After this incident, he no longer wanted to have anything to do with the Nine Gates, so it would be better for him to investigate his secret room case.
The blue butterfly flew up and down in the forest, and gradually landed on the trunk of a big tree. The tree was so thick that it took several people to hug it, and there was a natural tree hole under the tree!
The tree hole was dark and wide enough for an adult to enter.
Lian Youyou stopped and didn't move forward, with a frightened expression on her face.
"Where is my son's body!" Ma Guanqun asked anxiously again. Seeing that there were woods all around, could it be that the murderer buried him here
Lian Youyou raised her hand and pointed at the tree hole: "Inside."
Ma Guanqun was shocked and immediately went forward to take a look, but the tree hole was dark and he could not see clearly.
Fu Mingsuo was about to step forward, but Fu Mingrui quickly stopped him, shook his head at him, and stood farther away than Lian Youyou.
Looking at He Shiqi again, he had already hidden behind another big tree next to them, looking at the tree hole in fear.
Fu Mingrui saw He Shiqi was right beside him, so he secretly glanced at Lian Youyou not far away and asked softly: "Aqi, what happened when your master and Lin Tingjun went to the grave last time?"
He Shiqi immediately squatted down and hugged his head, his face full of horror: "It's a fake, it's a fake corpse... Whoosh - the head flew off, flew off, so scary, so scary..."
He Shiqi's frightened look made the two brothers of the Fu family deeply confused again.
On this side, Ma Guanqun, who couldn't see, had already taken out a lighter and lit it. He looked in with bloodshot eyes and said, "My son..."
The faint firelight dispelled the darkness in the tree hole, and immediately, Ma Yun's clothes appeared in the light!
"Son!" Ma Guanqun cried out in tears, and hurriedly picked up the torch and pointed it upwards, slowly revealing Ma Yun's face. Ma Yun's face was pale and blue, his eyes were closed, and he was lifeless.
"Son——" Ma Guanqun burst into tears and stretched out his hand to touch Ma Yun's face.
Suddenly, Ma Yun's eyelids moved, and Ma Guanqun was startled: "Ah!"
Ma Guanqun was stunned with shock and moved the fire closer to Ma Yun's face: "Son? Son? Are you still alive?!" Ma Guanqun was surprised when Ma Yun's eyelids twitched.
At this moment, Ma Yun's eyelids really lifted up, but it was not Ma Yun who opened his eyes, but a huge black worm crawled out from under Ma Yun's eyelids!
"Ah--" Ma Guanqun was so scared that the fire stick in his hand fell down. A piece of light fell down, which immediately startled the black insect. Then, Ma Yun's clothes began to tremble. In an instant, a black insect crawled out from inside, broke through the clothes, revealing a pale body with a huge hole on the chest.
All kinds of weird insects crawled out of the big hole and instantly covered Ma Yun's body. Under Ma Yun's pale skin, it seemed like there were worms wriggling rapidly everywhere.
"Bang!" Ma Yun's body instantly tilted down. That was totally unlike the posture of an ordinary person, and Ma Guanqun was so scared that he fell down immediately!
The fire started the fallen leaves in the tree hole. The leaping flames illuminated the entire tree hole. The insects, as if protecting the tree, flew into the flame like moths and tried to put out the fire with their bodies.
In the flickering firelight, Ma Yun's body was crooked and falling. Rather than falling, it was more like folding. His head fell to the ground, and his eyelids were wide open because of the constant crawling of insects. There were actually two black holes inside! Insects crawled out of his nostrils and ears, and his mouth was also stretched open by insects, as if he was smiling strangely at Ma Guanqun.
"Ah-ah-" Ma Guanqun screamed and stepped back.
Fu Mingsuo stepped forward immediately, and before Fu Mingrui could stop him, he had already reached Ma Guanqun's side.
"Ah-ah-" Ma Guanqun pointed at the tree hole and screamed twice. His eyes rolled back and he fainted from fright.
Fu Mingsuo hurriedly supported Ma Guanqun and turned to look at the tree hole.
At this time, the fire in the tree hole had been gradually extinguished by insects, and Fu Mingsu happened to catch a glimpse of Ma Yun's eerie and strange smiling face that was about to disappear in the darkness.
Suddenly, his whole body stiffened and he stood beside Ma Guanqun in fear.
"I told you not to look at it." Fu Mingrui said as if he was full of experience.
Fu Mingrui had no reaction at all. He continued to stare at the tree hole in a daze, his face even paler than the one when he was awakened by a nightmare in the morning.
"Carry the person." Lian Youyou called He Shiqi, frowning and covering her nose.
Wisps of green smoke emerged from the tree hole, bringing with it the smell of burnt insects and human skin.
He Shiqi walked closely towards Ma Guanqun and then carried him up.
Lian Youyou kicked Fu Mingsu who was still squatting there in shock: "How long are you going to watch? Do you want to collect his body? There is only a piece of human skin left, which can be picked out with a wooden stick."
It would have been fine if Lian Youyou hadn't said anything, but when she did, Fu Mingsuo immediately knelt down and vomited: "Ugh—Ugh—"
Immediately, an indescribable smell filled the air.
Lian Youyou looked at Fu Mingrui and said, "Take care of your brother. We are leaving first."
"Don't!" Fu Mingrui hurriedly stopped him. The leader of the Eight Gates didn't dare to walk alone. "Let's go together." As he said that, Fu Mingrui hurriedly helped Fu Mingsu up.
Fu Mingsui's legs went weak, and his usually gentle face was now pale with fear, no longer the graceful demeanor of a gentleman.
Fu Mingrui directly carried Fu Mingsu on his back and looked at Lian Youyou: "Let's go."
Lian Youyou also found it funny. They insisted on coming even though they were told not to. This was the price of curiosity. (To be continued)
