There were obviously two people in the room, but with my "insight", I could only see one person's breathing. There was no trace of popularity on the woman in royal attire standing behind the chair.
Ye Xun, who was squatting next to me, suddenly saw me using my eye skills and my body stiffened. He immediately raised his crossbow and aimed it at the figure's eyes and shot two arrows in a row. The moment the two powerful crossbows flew towards the window, the green figure in the eyes suddenly turned around and pounced on another person.
The moment Ye Xun's crossbow arrow penetrated the window paper and shot into the room, the two figures merged into one, sitting upright in front of the desk with only one oil lamp.
I also stopped exercising in an instant, jumped off the wall, and rushed into the house.
There was only one girl in casual clothes in that room. The other person was probably only in his twenties, and he couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but he looked very elegant when he was sitting there, and his every move was noble.
"Xia Qingqing?" I could recognize the girl's face, but not her temperament.
The name of Teacher Xia in the information is Xia Qingqing, and I have even watched videos of him giving lectures. The real Xia Qingqing is as pure as the fragrance of books and ink, but the person in front of me has nobility that comes from the bone—she is not Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing opened her mouth slightly and said, "You can call me Zheng Chunhua."
Ye Xun and I looked at each other and then asked in a deep voice: "Are you really Zheng Chunhua? Then let me ask you, how did you die? Where is your body?"
My sudden question was just a test. Because I have never believed in ghost possession.
Xia Qingqing said quietly: "If you can answer one of my questions, then I am also willing to answer all your questions."
I quietly distanced myself from Ye Xun, each occupying a favorable position: "You say it!"
Xia Qingqing said: "Back then, Yin Reng knew that he had no hope of becoming a prince. Why didn't he admit that we were in love? Instead, he said that I had seduced him?"
While Xia Qingqing was talking, I kept staring into his eyes. The resentment and sadness in Xia Qingqing's eyes were like a female ghost who had traveled through hundreds of years but had been confused for hundreds of years. There was no fraud at all.
I pondered: "First, he still has a glimmer of hope for the throne in his heart. Even if it is only a ten thousandth hope, he is willing to bet that Kangxi will care about the family relationship between father and son."
"Second, whether he is an emperor or a prince, he must erase the stains on his body. Even if the stains can never be erased, he must downplay them as much as possible. Adultery with mothers and concubines is not allowed in ancient or modern times. In the world."
Xia Qingqing shed tears: "Then he didn't miss me?"
"Only he knows whether he does or not." I said deliberately, "When he said in front of Kangxi that you seduced him, all the previous oaths you had made were in vain. Don't forget, your crime was in the Qing Dynasty What will be the outcome if Mingzheng is punished?"
I said two words in a deep voice without Xia Qingqing answering: "Ling Chi!"
Xia Qingqing's body couldn't help but tremble slightly: "For his own sake, would he rather see me being punished?"
I pressed forward step by step: "He will not look at you, nor will he plead for you. Once he opens his mouth, everything he said before will be overturned. He handed your fate to Kangxi, how will you die? , it all depends on whether Kangxi misses his old love or not."
Xia Qingqing raised her head and said, "Are you sure that was Yinreng's idea?"
"No." I shook my head, "This is just my speculation. As for what he was thinking at the time, who knows? It's your turn to answer my question."
Xia Qingqing said: "I was given death by the emperor, and my body was buried three miles north of this temple. However, my body was dug out later. The person who dug out my body was not the emperor."
I asked in a deep voice: "Who dug you out, and where did they take you?"
Xia Qingqing pointed at herself and said, "Keep an eye on this body. She can help you find the answer you want. Remember, you must keep an eye on this body..."
"What do you mean?" As soon as I spoke, I heard a harsh whistling sound coming from behind me. When Ye Xun, who was standing next to me, stretched out his hand to push me aside, the whistling droplets of blood shattered the window lattice and flew straight towards Xia Qingqing.
Ye Xun and I almost simultaneously drew out our swords to stop Xue Di Zi. Three weapons suddenly collided in the air, sparks flying everywhere. Ye Xun and I each took a step back, and Sheng Wuyuan, carrying a drop of blood, also appeared outside the window: "You two still want to save that demon girl?"
I blocked Xia Qingqing with my sword: "We haven't figured out the matter yet, so don't rush to kill him."
Sheng Wuyuan said coldly: "What do you mean 'the matter is not clear yet'? She is that witch Zheng Chunhua. You are not also fascinated by her beauty, are you?"
My face suddenly darkened: "Zheng Chunhua has been dead for more than two hundred years. Do you believe in ghost possession?"
"If she pretends to be a ghost, she deserves to be killed even more!" Sheng Wuyuan said sternly, "Leave her to me, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Before I could speak, Xia Qingqing was sitting on the chair and said first: "Some truths do not depend on whether your perception is sharp, but on whether you can persist to the end. If you let go of this body, it means that you will never You can’t get the truth.”
When I looked sideways at Xia Qingqing, her body fell limply on the desk - according to the words of the elders, when the possessed ghost suddenly leaves, a person will faint.
Sheng Wuqian, who was standing far away, then let out a cold snort.
Sheng Wuyuan said sternly: "That woman must die."
"No!" I shook my head. "I still have many things I haven't asked. She is dead now. Not to mention that our clues will be completely cut off. Even the death of your biological family will always be a mystery."
Sheng Wuyu's face couldn't help but darken: "Okay, I'll let her go first. But remember, as long as we confirm that she is related to those people, I will come and take her head. If you dare to stop her, I will kill you with blood." man of."
Just as Sheng Wuhen was about to turn around, I spoke up first, "Wait a minute! Why did your family members gather in the mountain col to wait for death?"
"You don't have to worry about this." Sheng Wuyuan said a few words, got up and flew towards the wall.
I looked at Ye Xun and said, "Ye Xun, do you think we can find Zheng Chunhua's grave by going north along the temple?"
Ye Xun pondered for a moment: "I think Zheng Chunhua's tomb should be in this temple."
Ye Xun said: "This is a Guandi Temple. If this was once the tomb of an eunuch, according to common sense, the Guandi Temple should not be built near the tomb. Emperor Guan Sheng is respected by Taoists as one of the four guardians of the Dharma. He can dispel evil spirits. To ward off evil. If you build a Guandi temple near a cemetery, the ghosts will be uneasy. Generally, the temples near the cemetery should be the Earth Temple or the City God Temple."
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "I estimate that this Guandi Temple was built as a town temple to suppress something."
I said to Suixin: "Can you find information about Guandi Temple?"
Suixin said: "I have checked the information about the Guandi Temple. The specific construction year is unknown, it should probably be between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it was repaired during the Kangxi period."
When I heard this, I quickly walked out of the room, jumped to the roof again, and looked at the Guandi Temple again, but I still didn't find anything weird.
Ye Xun ran to the door, walked into the temple step by step, and stopped when he reached the statue of Guandi: "Here. Dig down from here. If you can't see anything, there is no need to look anymore."
Ye Xun's location happened to be slightly to the left of the front of the Guandi Statue. If the statue of Emperor Guan were replaced by a real person holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and sweeping it downwards, the place where the blade would pass would be in front of Ye Xun's feet.
I jumped down from the roof, and together with Ye Xun, we used a knife to pry open the blue bricks on the ground, and sure enough, an iron plate with writing on it was revealed underneath. Ye Xun muttered softly: "The town is sealed with an imperial pen. Do not tamper with it without permission. There is also a seal below."
I reached out and touched the location of the seal: "This is the official seal of the Minister of the Interior. According to legend, the official seal represents the authority of the dynasty, has its own official aura, and can suppress evil and expel ghosts. There must be something underneath, keep digging."
I cut off the hidden lock on the iron plate with a knife. As soon as Ye Xun pushed the iron plate open, the rotten smell of the coffin surged out from under the iron plate. Sure enough, there was an iron coffin sealed underneath.
Most coffins in ancient times were made of wood, a few were stone coffins, but metal coffins were rarely used. Even emperors were buried using nanmu coffins instead of making gold coffins. Because, in the Five Elements theory, "gold" is the main killer, especially iron. The coffins made of pig iron are either used to suppress evil spirits or to make the ghosts in the coffins restless.
Ye Xun and I finally opened the coffin, but couldn't help but take a breath of cold air - there were more than ten triangular steel nails over a foot long with the tips pointed upward cast from top to bottom in the coffin; The body of the female corpse in the coffin was pierced from back to front by steel nails, and two of the long nails were exposed from the body's eye sockets.
Suixin, who was standing behind me, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "How much does the person who did this hate this woman to do such a cruel thing?"
Ye Xundao: "The person who did this wanted this woman to never be reincarnated and to be tortured by steel nails endlessly. This is different from the idea of being born without resentment."
I stood up and said, "As you wish, inform Mother Fox and ask her to mobilize troops to lift up the entire temple floor for me. I want to see how many female corpses are down here."
Suixin said in surprise: "You mean, there was more than one female corpse that was suppressed?"
"This is my speculation..." As I was speaking, I suddenly found Lu Xinyao standing motionless next to the coffin with dull eyes. I asked tentatively: "Lu Xinyao... Lu Xinyao... what's wrong with you?"
I shouted three times before Lu Xinyao said one sentence: "There is light in the eyes of that female corpse!"
"What did you say?" The female corpse's eyes were obviously penetrated by long nails. How could the two eyes emit light except for the holes with dried flesh and blood
Before I could finish my question, Lu Xinyao's body fell to the ground. I hugged Lu Xinyao before she fell: "Inform Mother Fox and send someone over as soon as possible. Just don't look into the coffin."
