My Lady Is Not A Demon

Chapter 378: The Truth Is Near!

Wuhe Peak is located to the north of Dongzhou City.

This was the place where the last prince of the previous dynasty died. It was also one of the few peaceful places when Dongzhou was the most chaotic.

Of course, it is not just a mountain.

As early as the Apocalypse years, an astronomical spectacle appeared here. Later, some powerful cultivators jointly set up a dojo to sense Heavenly Dao.

Gradually, this place was abandoned again, and a Taoist temple was established.

It’s a pity that the good times didn’t last long, and the Taoist temple fell into ruins of a courtyard, and it has been submerged by weeds today.

The reason why King Yunzheng chose to bury Mrs. Own here was that there were family members buried here in the palace. Secondly, this place is ultimately a treasure of Feng Shui.

As an envoy of Vermillion Bird, Bai Xianyu naturally needs to come to participate in the burial ceremony of the princess.

Chen Mu originally planned to go to Nan Feng Ruo to find Yun Zhiyue first, but after thinking about it, he decided to disguise and follow Bai Xianyu to Wuhefeng to see the situation.

Lest that Erhuo Zixue blamed Bai Xianyu for no reason like last time.

The trees are verdant and the weeds are swaying in the wind.

The air is flowing with strands of coolness.

The cut yellow paper is flying all over the sky, with a sad and sad expression.

Compared with the burial specifications of the prefect ladies, the specifications of the princesses were much smaller. Even if the officials came to mourn the officials, they were not as good as those of Mrs. Du.

This shows that the status of Lord Yunzheng in Dongzhou is low.

“I heard that the prince is going to stay here for seven days. This is very rare. After all, people are already in the soil.”

Chen Mu looked at the prince who was kneeling in front of the grave and crying in a low voice.

The eyes of Baixianyu’s mask flashed with a faint light: “It is one of the customs of the Yiyuan people. It is said that it can make the deceased feel at ease and reincarnate.”

Reincarnation with peace of mind…

Chen Mu smiled, disapproving.

He cast his gaze on the son in mourning clothes, who was kneeling on the ground with his father, with a sad expression on his face.

“Does this son really like Qingluo, or does he have another purpose.”

Chen Mu suddenly curiously said.

Bai Xianyu was startled slightly, with a little helpless tone: “He really likes Qingluo, but not to the point where he loves it. The man looks stupid, but he is not really stupid, just too arrogant. For Qingluo, it is also out of possessiveness.”

Chen Mu curled his lips: “Youths who have not been beaten up by the society must have a long memory.”

“If the husband is worried about anything, don’t let the girl from Qingluo take it tonight, the girl from the province complains all day for not giving me a chance.”

A known husband is like a wife. Seeing the annoyance in Chen Mu’s eyes, Bai Xianyu pursed his mouth and smiled.

Hearing the lady’s words, the light in Chen Mu’s eyes instantly lit up.

But soon he waved his hand as usual: “I’m not interested, I just think about the lady.” Then, while the people around were not paying attention, he held the woman Rouxiang’s little hand.

Bai Xianyu’s face blushed, and she didn’t expect Chen Mu to be ambiguous in the crowd.

She forcibly broke her little hand free, and cast a blank look at the man: “Don’t mess around, there are a lot of people staring at us secretly.”

Just as Chen Mu was about to say something, several monks over there began to do things.

The officials and friends who came came to one side one after another. Everyone took a cup of reddish tea from the maid, sprinkled it on the ground, and waited silently.

These are some complicated ritual processes…

“Stay here obediently, don’t run around.”

Bai Xianyu whispered, and walked over.

Chen Mu waited for a while and was a little bored, so he wandered around leisurely, his eyes habitually looking at Wuhefeng with scrutiny eyes.

After watching for a while, Chen Mu came to the cliff on the west side.

I don’t know why, when I walked here, the air seemed to be filled with a slightly pungent smell, but when I smelled it carefully, it disappeared.

illusion?

Chen Mu rubbed his nose, wondering in his heart.

After smelling it for a long time without gain, Chen Mu was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, a breeze hit, and the air was mixed with the familiar pungent smell just now, more like a musty smell of fruit.

Chen Mu felt strange, and slowly leaned out to check.

There was a vast white mist in front of me, and I couldn’t see everything clearly, as if it was above the clouds.

Urged by curiosity, he summoned “Things Beyond the Sky” and slowly climbed down the cliff relying on the viscosity of the black liquor. After climbing about 20 meters, Chen Mu finally found the source of the pungent smell.

It was a highly decomposed body, but the surface of the body seemed to be smeared with a layer of kerosene.

The so-called pungent smell is formed by the odor of these ‘kerosene’ and the rotting body itself.

In addition, the corpse is headless.

“Strange, how can there be corpses in this place, homicide case?”

Chen Mu was very confused.

He looked at the corpse carefully, and gradually, his eyes shifted to the corpse’s hands.

Compared to the highly decayed body, the signs of decay on the hands are smaller.

The nails on the corpse’s hands were obviously damaged and broken. Obviously, they had been digging and scratching before, and the fine dust in the nail analysis could be analyzed——

This is the corpse of Master Murong Rudder!

No, to be precise, it was the double corpse they saw when they first went to Nan Feng Ruo!

Later, the corpse disappeared in the middle of the night. After searching for it for a long time, it could not be found. Instead, it appeared here.

Chen Mu stared at the corpse with scorching eyes: “Did it come by himself, or was someone thrown here? If it was the latter, who would it be?”

Chen Mu thought for a long time, temporarily put the body back to its original place, and climbed up the cliff.

He didn’t plan to go out publicly.

Now the forces behind the scenes are all over the Eastern State. Who knows if there are any ghosts in the funeral today, so it’s better to be more cautious.

Back to the original place, Bai Xianyu had finished the process.

Seeing the solemn color in Chen Mu’s eyes, he asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

Chen Mu whispered what he had discovered to the other party. After Bai Xianyu finished listening, her eyebrows under the mask frowned tightly:

“Before you judged that the forces behind the scenes did not find the body of Murong Ruo’s substitute, so they found a corpse to disguise when they died, but you found it to be a fake.

But now that the surrogate body appears here, who do you think did it? Is it the power behind the scenes? ”

Chen Mu shook his head: “I don’t know, maybe it was the substitute who came to this place unconsciously, trying to give us some clues.”

“Do you think I need to persuade the prince to go back and don’t stay here.”

Bai Xianyu’s delicate face showed a little worry.

If something happened to the prince here, then her responsibility would be great.

At that time, the officials of the court will not be as simple as impeachment.

Chen Mu looked at the grief-stricken prince who was kneeling in front of the grave, and thought for a while and said: “Temporarily send someone to protect him. The prince guesses you can’t persuade him.”

“It can only be so.” Bai Xianyu sighed.

“This Wuhe Peak used to be an altar.” Chen Mu said intentionally or unintentionally.

Bai Xianyu didn’t react at first, but immediately afterwards, there was a strong shock and surprise in her eyes.
