"Xiao Hui was taking a nap that day, and my daughter-in-law was sitting alone in front of the house. The sun was shining on her, like a fairy." The old lady wiped away her tears again: "She told me that she wanted to go into the mountains to get some wild vegetables.
, I gave the omelette to Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui liked it, so I agreed. I was really confused. Why did I let her go into the mountains alone? She never came back. People in the village found out that she
The body was lying on the mountain trail."
Suba coughed slightly: "Grandma, I know this is cruel, but we need to know more detailed content, such as the state of the body, the cause of death, and whether there is anything particularly strange. We all need to know these. It's embarrassing.
You are welcome."
"My daughter-in-law's body is intact. We are very particular about the preservation of bones here. The fatal injury was on the forehead. It was hit too hard and blood flowed all over the floor. Her body was completely soaked in blood." The old lady's head hung slightly.
Go: "There are still blood stains on the stone cliff. People in the village speculate that he accidentally hit it with too much force and lost his life."
"Where are the wild vegetables?" Subai asked, "Are there any wild vegetables around?"
The old lady was stunned, with a trace of doubt on her face: "I didn't see it. I found her and the basket at that time, but I didn't see anything. It makes no sense that I didn't find a single wild vegetable after going into the mountain for so long..."
Su Bai patted his thigh, and an idea flashed through his mind. Unfortunately, it only passed briefly. His mouth was slightly opened, but he didn't say a word. He felt embarrassed and quickly said: "Grandma, what's the matter?"
Is there anything unusual?"
"On the day of the funeral, it rained heavily," the old lady said. "The rain came quickly, so we temporarily took shelter in a cave. At that time, the coffin lid had been moved. We asked many people, but they all said it had not been moved.
It was moved, and my son said it must have been knocked loose somewhere."
Yue Qing and Bai Moxuan looked at each other, and Bai Moxuan said, "Ask."
"Your daughter-in-law passed away, how did your son react?" Yue Qing's face turned red, and the words were almost forced out of his throat.
"Of course he is extremely sad." The old lady said, "I am not protecting him. Although he believed the monk's words, he was very good to his daughter-in-law, but... he seemed to blame Xiaohui for his daughter-in-law's death.
I think he is unknown."
There was sudden silence in the room. After a long time, Su Bai said, "Grandma, let me clean it up for you."
The three of them all stood up and cleaned up the dishes. The old lady fell into sadness and couldn't get up from the stool. The three simply did all the kitchen work. While washing the dishes, they discussed in a low voice, "Bai Moxuan, this
What do you think about the matter?" Suber asked.
"Isn't your summarizing ability pretty good? Let me tell you."
"First of all, we need to find out whether Xiaohui's mother is a cave girl." Su Bai said: "It sounds like we have to break into the hexagonal cave, and then we must find the monk. That monk doesn't sound right.
Shantu, I have been keeping in touch with Xiaohui's father for so many years, and I always feel strange. Also, if Xiaohui's mother's death was not an accident, it was murder. There is another possibility - suicide. It's a pity, this is a small village.
, no one must have paid attention to this at that time and was buried directly. But in general, we have not found any clues about the blood zombie powder. Who gave Xiaohui this thing and when?"
"That's a good summary." Bai Moxuan said coldly: "By the way, don't you need to go back to Nether Palace for interrogation?"
"Don't worry, I have made arrangements when I came out. The Wheel King will bear two palaces for me for a few days." Thinking of the Wheel Wheel King's face, Su Bai secretly laughed: "The Wheel Wheel King is the eldest brother, he always has to do it.
Take care of the younger generations."
"Go to the cave at night." Bai Moxuan said.
The three of them reached a consensus and just waited for the old lady to fall asleep before heading west. The deep mountains at night were particularly mysterious. Every time they stepped on it, they felt that they had no place to hit. The noises that came from time to time were frightening, but the three of them were calm.
There was nothing to scare them now. Subei saw many will-o'-the-wisps floating scatteredly in the mountains: "The graves here are relatively scattered, and burials are also used. Will-o'-the-wisps are becoming increasingly rare in the city."
It had rained at night, which was one of the reasons for the appearance of will-o'-the-wisps. The three of them were immersed in their journey, when a baby-like cry suddenly came from behind. This cry reminded Yue Qing of the miserable home of the neighbor's children. Every time they left,
Taking a step forward, the voice followed step by step. The three of them looked at each other and had no intention of looking back. Su Bai even sneered and said: "He even dares to act as an agent for the King of Hell. This guy doesn't want to live anymore.
"
"It's not a living thing to begin with." Bai Moxuan said angrily: "This starving ghost has good eyesight."
The cry of the baby behind him was getting closer and closer, and a dark shadow shrouded the three of them. Subai finally couldn't hold it in any longer. With a flick of his hand, the hungry ghost screamed and flew far away. Subai scolded: "Acting for the King of Hell."
How dare you act so arrogantly here!"
The hungry ghost fell to the ground and floated lightly again, looking as if he was dying. When he heard Su Bai's name, he was so frightened that he lay down on the ground and said, "Lord Yama, spare your life."
"Go away, I'm not in the mood to pay attention to you now." Subai said, "If you dare to hang out in front of us again, I will make you look good."
The hungry ghost escaped the disaster and disappeared immediately in front of their eyes. Suber said: "When I was a child, my mother told me that if I heard crying or screaming behind me when I was walking in the wilderness at night, I must not do it.
Looking back, once we turn around, a gust of wind will come out and blow out the two lamps on our shoulders, and the ghosts can catch us. Only now do I know that those two lamps are made of human yang energy, and ghosts are afraid of the sun.
When the lights are on, they dare not approach."
"There is nothing wrong with the lamp being made of yang energy, but men and women are different. In addition to the shoulders, men also have a lamp on the top of their head." Yue Qing said: "This is a deep mountain, and many people have died at the hands of hungry ghosts. You
Why didn't you kill me just now?"
"I was just thinking, if no one saw what happened back then, would there be a ghost who saw it?" Su Bai blinked: "I attacked him just now, and I have already absorbed his ghost energy. It is easy to find him.
.”
"You're getting more and more thief." Yue Qing sighed: "It's different when you become an official."
While the three of them were talking, they saw a cave halfway up the mountain in front of them. As the old lady said, you could recognize it at a glance. It was a square hexagon. The three of them got closer and looked inside. They saw the space in the cave.
It was extremely narrow, Subai said: "I'm different from you, I'll go in and take a look first."
Subai immediately turned into a soul state and got in first. After entering, he felt a strong wind pulling his body and hitting the ground. How could Subai allow this inexplicable force to affect him? With a little luck, he would be stable.
He stopped and said, "You two, be careful, there are some evil ways in this cave."
The two of them could clearly see that Subai had been sucked just now. The force came from the ground. The two of them looked at each other and stepped in cautiously. As soon as they entered, their bodies stumbled downwards.
Throwing himself to the ground, Bai Moxuan cursed and hit the ground with his palm, and the force suddenly disappeared...
Bai Moxuan and Yue Qing stood up again, and they said in unison: "There is a ghost here."
Subai was stunned: "Is there a ghost?"
"It's not a ghost like you." Bai Moxuan said: "This strength doesn't seem to come naturally. There is something fishy under this hole."
The three of them walked a few steps forward when they saw the cave extending downwards. It was pitch dark and pitch black. As soon as they spoke, their voices echoed. Yue Qing picked up a stone and threw it down.
I didn't hear the sound of landing for a long time: "It's quite deep."
"Is it really deep?" Bai Moxuan frowned slightly. This time, he took a bigger stone and threw it down, but there was still no response.
"We didn't bring any ropes when we came out this time. God knows there will be women who fell into the cave." Su Bai said, "Come on, you two wait here while I go down and take a look."
As soon as Su Bai finished speaking, he immediately went into the hole. Even if it was not a solid body, Su Bai could still feel the Yin Qi below. I don't know how long it took, but Su Bai's body fell to the ground, but his feet were floating.
It is not as solid as the ground. There is a unique smell of stone, a cold fishy smell, and there is a residual spiritual power here. After Subai materialized, he stretched out his hand and found that it was this spiritual power rising upwards. Could it be
Is it this spiritual power that grabbed everyone just now?
Subai shouted to the top: "Hey, everything's okay down there, you can come down."
There was no response at all from above. Subai called out twice more, but there was no movement from above: "Oh, you both went deaf at the same time, Bai Moxuan, Yue Qing!?"
Besides, Yue Qing and Bai Moxuan above saw Subai go down with their own eyes, but more than ten minutes passed without any movement. The two of them had no idea that Subai was roaring loudly below, and they heard nothing. Bai Moxuan
Said: "The dignified acting King of Hell will not fall into trouble down there, right?"
"Bai Moxuan, I feel something is wrong here. It seems that someone has set up a formation." Yue Qing said: "Are what we saw and heard true?"
"I have the same idea." Bai Moxuan said: "Although I think Su Bai is an idiot, I don't dare to underestimate his power against scales."
"The great Ming Dynasty cultivates essence and refines the inner heart of elixir. When the light and rays reflect together, the true spirit comes to find." Yue Qing bit off his finger and dropped it between his eyebrows. In an instant, he opened his magical power. The deep hole in front of him changed into a scene. He was far away.
From a distance, I saw Subai standing at the bottom of the cave, shouting to the top, but I still couldn't hear his voice: "Oh no, we are indeed on the right track, Subai is down there."
"Let's go down and have a look," Bai Moxuan said.
The two of them climbed down the cave carefully, and Su Bai watched helplessly until they came to the front and said aggrievedly: "I asked you two, did you do it on purpose? I shouted so loudly, but you didn't answer?"
Yue Qing said seriously: "We didn't hear you. If it weren't for the magical power, we wouldn't even be able to see you."
Yue Qing didn't look like he was joking, so Su Bai ruled out the possibility that they were playing tricks on him: "What's going on?"
