Chapter 110 Seeing a Corpse in the Cherry Blossom Forest
"Although I have a crush on Xueying, I'm not good at expressing it. Seeing that she seemed a little depressed, I cooked a bowl of lotus seed soup for her that night."
"That night I met Sun Yuan to find Xueying. He could testify for me."
After Elder Tang was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, Lao Sha took the crystal ball in his hand and spoke slowly.
He was the only one among the four who had a crush but never confessed his love. That night he left after sending lotus seed soup.
"I can testify that he did send lotus seed soup to Xueying!"
"Originally I wanted to eat it, but he was so stingy that if I dared to eat it, he would fight with me, which made me feel bored."
"Hmph! Can I give you the lotus seed soup that I worked so hard to cook all night for free?"
When Lao Sha saw Sun Yuan's curled lips, he immediately became furious.
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
At this time Zhou Fan interrupted!
His eyes fell on Sun Yuan and asked: "In other words, you are the last person to stay with Xueying?"
When Zhou Fan finished speaking, everyone looked at Sun Yuan.
"Are you suspecting that I killed Xueying?"
"I was the last one to see her, and I confessed that I had complicated feelings for her, but I didn't want to kill her, right?"
When Sun Yuan saw that Zhou Fan and the others were casting suspicious eyes on him, Sun Yuan immediately retorted and explained, making it clear that he definitely did not kill Xueying.
"You should tell me about the process!"
Zhou Fan didn't jump to conclusions. He took the crystal ball from Lao Sha and handed it to Sun Yuan.
Sun Yuan obviously hesitated for a moment while holding the crystal ball, but he slowly explained: "Actually, after I was rejected, I guessed that she might have someone in mind."
"I went there that night just to find out who it was that could make her fall in love with her."
"It's a pity that Xueying didn't say it from beginning to end. After eating a few mouthfuls of lotus seed soup, she suggested that I accompany her to relax."
"Of course I won't refuse such a good thing. After all, those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first. I also want to make her accept me through influence."
"Did you go to the cherry blossom forest?"
Before Sun Yuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Fan's questioning voice.
"Yes! We went to the cherry blossom forest!"
"The cherry blossoms at that time were exceptionally beautiful, and it seemed to me that the whole world was bright."
"It's rare to enjoy cherry blossoms with Snow Sakura. At that time, I wished that time could stop here."
"It's a pity that she still doesn't look happy!"
Sun Yuan did not hide anything and told Zhou Fan and the others about his experience with Xueying that night.
"Finally, Xue Ying wants to stay alone in the cherry blossom forest for a while and be quiet!"
"I saw no one around, and everyone else seemed to have left long ago, so I left after much hesitation and planned to come back to the cherry blossom forest later."
"Who would have thought that when I came back again, I would see a corpse."
Sun Yuan fell into memories again, and he even began to blame himself, and his eyes gradually became moist. It was obvious that he really had deep feelings for Xueying.
"Hmph! You pretend to be so passionate, I suspect you are the one who murdered Xue Ying!"
"In the dead of night, there is a man and a woman alone. I think you just took advantage of sex and finally killed her."
"Your mother is talking bullshit! I'm not as dirty as you think!"
"Hmph! Who knows!"
"What the hell, you want to be beaten..."
Lao Sha angrily blasted Sun Yuan for believing that he was the murderer, but Sun Yuan firmly denied it and wanted to fight Lao Sha instead.
"Did you know that Xueying was violated before her death?"
At this time, Zhou Fan suddenly dropped a bombshell, which made Sun Yuan and the other three people change their expressions.
"What did you say?"
"Who did it?"
Sun Yuan's reaction was the most intense. While roaring, violent power surged out of his body.
Zhou Fan had long seen that Sun Yuan had a strong cultivation level, and now he felt the aura that he couldn't help but exude, and his heart suddenly felt awe-inspiring.
When Elder Tang heard this, he clenched his fists secretly, as if he was also extremely shocked.
Lao Sha's face was extremely gloomy, and he also looked at Zhou Fan angrily, wondering who did it.
"At the beginning, I was the only one responsible for collecting Xueying's body, so I discovered this at that time."
Zhou Fan explained, then took out a blood-stained handkerchief and handed it to the three of them to see.
The three of them looked suspicious at first, and then they seemed to have thought of something and their faces became filled with anger and gloominess.
Sun Yuan was the most excited, and the anger in his heart was already burning.
Even the surrounding temperature seemed to be heating up rapidly at this moment.
"Everyone, please stay sensible! Although there were only a few of us on the mountain at that time, we can't rule out the possibility that someone might just sneak in!"
"Now I have been able to roughly identify the murderer, but my words are not enough to make you completely believe it."
"I have practiced a secret technique that can be used on corpses to recreate the last scene they saw before their bodies."
Zhou Fan comforted everyone and spoke step by step.
"Hmph! How do we know if you have done something secretly?"
"What if the murderer is you and you cry out to catch the thief?"
Lao Sha snorted coldly at this time, obviously not believing Zhou Fan.
"Okay! Just do it the way you said!"
"If I find out in the end that you are the real murderer, I will cut him into pieces to the end of the world."
As soon as Lao Sha finished speaking, Sun Yuan, who was already a little irritable, agreed to Zhou Fan's proposal.
"I also want to know what the last scene Xue Ying saw was!"
Elder Tang, who was bruised and swollen, was silent for a while, and finally expressed his position.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! Xueying has been dead for so many years, how is it possible that there is still a secret technique that can reproduce the scene of her life?"
Lao Sha is still suspicious of Zhou Fan, and does not believe that there is a secret technique in this world that can restore the life scene of a corpse that has been dead for many years.
"Whether it is yes or not, you will know after you go and see it?"
"Are you still feeling guilty, Lao Sha?"
Zhou Fan saw that everyone else agreed, but Lao Sha was always questioning, so he couldn't help but ask him a question.
"Hmph! What do I have to feel guilty about!"
Lao Sha snorted coldly when he heard this, and finally agreed to enter the cherry blossom forest together.
In this way, the four of them headed towards the cherry blossom forest with their own thoughts, and soon arrived outside the cherry blossom forest.
The originally pink cherry blossoms here have now turned bright red and look like blood.
The fragrance exuded by the cherry blossoms seemed to become more intense. Except for Zhou Fan, who was admiring the cherry blossoms, the other three looked at the cherry blossom forest with complicated expressions, thinking of the girl who was as graceful as a cherry blossom.
"Let's go!"
After standing outside the cherry blossom forest for a while, Zhou Fan finally reminded the three of them.
The three of them came to their senses and stepped into the cherry blossom forest together.
The scenery is beautiful when you stand outside, but when you step into the forest, you feel a biting coldness.
Everyone could even sense the extremely strong resentment, which could affect people's moods and made Sun Yuan, who was already filled with anger, almost go berserk.
Fortunately, he was able to keep his composure and immediately suppressed the urge to go berserk.
"You must have other purposes for inviting Zhao Hu here this time, right?"
At this time, Zhou Fan walked up to Sun Yuan and asked.
Sun Yuan, who had a somewhat gloomy face, could not help but be silent for a moment when he heard this and then nodded.
"Actually, when I come here this time, I also want to secretly investigate the cause of Xue Ying's death."
"But I wasn't sure I could keep the murderer, so I invited Zhao Hu here on the pretext of inviting him to the hot springs."
"I just didn't expect that he would be attacked and kidnapped secretly. If something happens to him, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to his parents."
Sun Yuan looked at Zhou Fan apologetically. Unexpectedly, he also met Zhao Hu, and at the same time he also expressed guilt for Zhao Hu's disappearance.
Zhou Fan just asked casually. Seeing that Sun Yuan was no longer so irritable, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
As the four of them gradually went deeper into the cherry blossom forest, the resentment in the forest turned into streaks of black energy.
The black energy turned into strange shadows, trying to attack Zhou Fan and others.
Fortunately, Elder Tang, who was walking at the front, clasped his hands together, recited a Buddhist chant, and then transformed into a light shield that enveloped Zhou Fan and the others.
When those weird shadows touched the golden light shield, they all chirped and turned into black smoke and dissipated.
Zhou Fan, who was inside the light shield, was a little surprised. He didn't expect Elder Tang's Buddhist cultivation to be so advanced.
No wonder he can't even be moved by beauty. Such a mind dedicated to Buddha is indeed commendable, but it is a bit too unhuman.
Soon, the four of them arrived deep in the cherry blossom forest.
There is a solitary tomb here, and the black air emanating from the solitary tomb is even more intense.
"Hey! After all, we failed you!"
"I'm so sorry for not being able to visit you for so many years and leaving you here alone!"
Elder Tang came to the grave and sat cross-legged, looking at the lonely grave with emotion on his face, as if he was talking to an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hmph! Stop being so hypocritical. If it weren't for you, would she be able to come to the cherry blossom forest sadly and want to be alone and quiet?"
Sun Yuan snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat Elder Tang violently, but was stopped by Zhou Fan.
"I will try my best to purify the resentment here. If you have any ability, use it!"
Elder Tang glanced at Zhou Fan, and when he finished speaking, he had turned his head, closed his eyes, and started reciting the sutra.
"call out!"
At this time, a sound broke through the air suddenly.
"boom!"
There was a crisp sound, and an arrow light hit the blue light shield condensed by Zhou Fan in the blink of an eye.
The arrow was not aimed at him, but at Elder Tang.
"boom!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Without him needing to take action, a roar of fighting could be heard from the cherry blossom forest in the distance.
The powerful aftermath of the battle shattered countless cherry blossom trees, and the flying cherry blossoms were mixed with debris like snowflakes falling from the sky.
"ah!"
"puff!"
Soon, a figure screamed, vomited blood, flew backwards, and landed heavily in front of Zhou Fan and others.
Before the man could react, a swift bone whip had already wrapped around him.
In the cherry blossom forest that gradually became quieter, Zhao Hu, who looked a little pale, walked out.
"Zhao Hu? It's great that you are fine!"
"he is?"
When Sun Yuan saw Zhao Hu appear, he couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and then looked suspiciously at the figure wrapped in a bone whip.
Because his back was turned, Sun Yuan could only see the back and could not clearly see the person's face.
