Lu Zhe said slowly while observing her face change.

"And I'm afraid the only one who can do this is the master messenger behind the scenes..."

"If you still want to see your child, tell me the murderer's message!"

The female ghost looked dull in an instant, as if she had heard some unbelievable news.

Then his expression became obviously dimmed, and he was not as crazy as before, just whispering vaguely.

"Children... so many snakes..."

"Snake?" Lu Zhe repeated.

"Lotus tree..."

The female ghost seemed to have regained her eyes. Her eyes were no longer as scarlet as before, but instead showed a bit of awake look, staring at the two people in front of her.

"Lotus tree?"

This is mentioned before.

However, just as he was about to continue asking, he suddenly noticed that the female ghost's head drooped weakly, and his breath finally dissipated.

"etc!"

Lu Zhe was shocked and immediately raised her head, but her eyes were closed tightly without any anger.

As soon as his hand was loosened, her head continued to droop to the side weakly, as if she had lost her bones.

"Dead?!"

Why did I die before I got the real useful news from him?

"Is it possible that the child is the last bit of faith she has to survive? If the child is gone, she will not be able to persevere..."

"What a pity..."

He sighed regretfully and frowned.

So far, I have only received so little pitiful information, and it is extremely difficult to find any useful clues from it.

After a change of mind, he could only seek ways to use external forces: "I had to go to the county government to find someone to help me and find clues..."

Add the previous locust tree, this time the wood carving, the snake...

These can be regarded as characteristics of finding people.

After making up his mind, he looked at the dead female ghost in front of him, and naturally he did not want the body to stay in such a place.

He turned to Jiang Lu and ordered: "Buried her quietly in the mass grave there, be careful not to leave any traces, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble for yourself."

There are also government officials composed of ghosts and monsters in the spiritual realm world. If this strange murder is discovered, there will be many troubles to come to your door.

Jiang Lu quickly responded and looked at the corpse of the female ghost with some anxiety. After confirming that she was really dead, she carefully untied the rope and dragged her body to the mass grave to bury it.

"It is my greatest kindness to be able to leave her a whole body in the end."

Lu Zhe shook his head secretly, opened the door to the mortal world again, and returned to his room.

This time I stayed in the spiritual realm much shorter than before, so after returning to reality, I looked at the sky and was still close to noon.

At this time, he had no other leisure time to wait, so he took his servant to the county government.

When he rushed to the backyard of the county government, he happened to meet his elder brother Lu Qing and several other Taoists.

"Brother! Taoist priest!"

Lu Zhe greeted them who were discussing the matter.

"Third brother?" Lu Qing looked up at him with surprise, "Why are you here in the county government?"

Lu Zhe replied: "Actually, I came here this time and wanted to find someone, or maybe a place. But there weren't many clues, so I wanted to find it through the county government."

Lu Qing smiled and said confidently: "That's a coincidence that we have found a lot of places these days and have heard of a lot of news. Third brother, please don't let it go, maybe you don't need to spend any more time."

Lu Zhe pondered for a moment and tried to say, "Actually, that friend only told me some possible news. First of all, it was related to the snake..."

"snake……"

Lu Qing thought about it, flipped up a file on the table and looked at it: "If you talk about this snake, the most famous thing recently should be the snake disaster in a village before."

"Snake disaster?" Lu Zhe suddenly remembered that his elder brother had mentioned this matter to him before.

"Yes, it's a relatively remote small village. It's not a big deal. After all, there are many snakes, rats, insects and ants at the foot of the mountain in spring and summer, and only a few people died this time."

"But after the report came up, I found something strange inside..."

Lu Qing looked through the file and handed it over to Lu Zhe.

Although these files are classified documents in the county government, based on the Lu family’s connections and the relationship between the county magistrate, these things are not secrets to them and can be read at will.

After Lu Zhe took it, his eyes browsed roughly through the content, and then realized something, focusing on the few lines of text.

Lu Qing cleared his throat and continued: "Yes, at present, there is only a family of people who were killed in this snake. They were all bitten by poisonous snakes until they died. According to the coroner's judgment, there were at least a dozen highly venomous snakes..."

"However, when the villagers found out that they wanted to save people, they found that the poisonous snakes ran away in scattered and did not stay in the village at all, and immediately fled back to the mountain..."

"It looks more like someone deliberately manipulated it."

While Lu Qing was talking, Lu Zhe continued to browse the contents on the file and discovered more coincidences.

"The deceased had six people in total, all of whom were family, and all three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were destroyed..."

"This family has been making wood carvings for generations. Because of their exquisite craftsmanship, it is often a good price for one wood carving, and it is no problem to support the family..."

Unexpectedly, I suddenly encountered such natural disasters and man-made disasters.

“Wood carving…”

Lu Zhe whispered in a voice that only he could hear, his eyes solemnly.

"Could it be...that female ghost is one of the people who were bitten to death in this family?"

It should be true that the youngest deceased was a baby, less than one year old, and when he was discovered, he had been eaten by poisonous snakes, insects and ants and was beyond recognition.

The rest of the family members were also in a miserable state of death, which made people unbearable to look at them.

"These are already matched..."

He took a breath slowly, feeling the bone-broken chill in his heart, which gave him a deeper understanding of the cold-blooded cruelty of the person behind the scenes.

Immediately, he looked up at Lu Qing: "There is another clue, which is the big locust tree. Do you know about it?"

"Lotus tree?"

When Lu Qing heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange. He looked at Taoist Zhengyang beside him, as if he had confirmed it, and nodded before saying.

"This... I do know. Moreover, it is related to the goal that Taoist Zhengyang is looking for."

"oh?"
