Chapter 119: Kneel
"Then we can rest assured, you must catch this harmful female ghost. Our old couple is here to give you a heads-up. When the old woman heard Lin Chuyue's words, she felt very moved. It turns out that the court has not abandoned them, and there are still people in this world who are willing to contribute to them, the powerless people.
"Oh, get up. I'm a junior, and I can't afford to be gifted like this. Besides, it's our business, and you don't have to. Lin Chuyue pulled the old couple in front of her who was about to kneel for them and said softly.
"Excuse me, can I take a look at your son's appearance?" Seeing this, Zhang Anze asked by the way, and walked towards the coffin.
"Absolutely. If you want to know anything else, we will do our best to cooperate. The old man said to Lin Chuyue and Zhang Anze.
I saw Zhang Anze pushing the lid of the coffin open, and saw the corpse lying in the coffin. I saw that the corpse was now in a completely shriveled state, and there was no smell of decay and stench. On the contrary, it also exudes a burst of lotus fragrance. That's weird.
It stands to reason that the body had been stored in this coffin for three days, even in late autumn, when the weather was cooler. It shouldn't be that there is no rancid smell at all, and it still exudes the fragrance of lotus flowers?
Lin Chuyue also came to the side of the coffin, carefully observing the situation of the corpse, thinking if she could see any clues from it.
When she smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers, she instantly felt a very strange smell. Her nose is indeed able to smell things that no one else can smell, and these small differences can only be felt by herself.
That night, on the night when she met the female ghost on the road, she also smelled something different from human first, and then gradually looked in the direction of the female ghost. Then I met the female ghost.
And this time, she actually smelled the smell of the female ghost she met on the road last time? Could it be that the man who was killed was exactly the female ghost who was killed last time!
"Your Highness, I smell it! It's the smell of the female ghost we met in the middle of the night last time on the road! My nose has never been wrong, and I'm pretty sure that it's the female ghost from last time. Lin Chuyue was a little excited, and it was also a very important clue!
Zhang Anze didn't expect that this Lin Chuyue would be able to feel the smell of this evil spirit and evil ghost so accurately! From what is recorded in this immortal book, this evil spirit and evil ghost does have a taste, but this is by no means something that a small mortal can feel. What can be felt is only the descendants of Nuwa, who has the true blood of the phoenix, can feel it.
Even this true dragon descendant with the true blood of Long Yang has no way to detect it because he is affected by the yang energy of all things in this world, so he has no way to detect the trace of this female ghost. I didn't expect this Lin Chuyue to be able to do it? Could it really be because this Lin Chuyue's nose is very sensitive?
Or maybe this Lin Chuyue is the descendant of Nuwa, who has the true blood of the phoenix in this legend? This is the symbol of this Mother Earth. Is this Lin Chuyue really the descendant of this legendary Nuwa?
However, it would be too hasty to define it just by the sensitivity of the nose. Zhang Anze just had doubts in his heart.
Now that Zhang Anze and this Lin Chuyue have found out more clearly, they returned to this temporary rest inn and waited for the return of Tongfu and Yingxiu.
After Tongfu and Yingxiu went out together, this Yingxiu was like a wild horse that had taken off the leash. Scare away the mess everywhere in this street, look here, touch there. This Tongfu had to walk around with this show.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told himself before assigning the task. This time, his main task is to be optimistic about this Yingxiu, and don't let her come to disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Lin Chuyue Lin to investigate the case.
Although this ostensibly meant that the two of them would go together to investigate the cause of the smell of the lotus pond water, in fact, this Zhang Anze had long expected that this Yingxiu would never be arranged so easily. And with such a big heart as Yingxiu, how can he concentrate on this activity as his own task.
It's better to just let Tongfu accompany her to play for a while, so as not to disturb the progress of her and Lin Chuyue's investigation. In this way, it will be better to carry out the investigation smoothly.
Just like this, Yingxiu walked in front of her, and she felt a little tired. So he asked this Tongfu to take what he had just bought and walked back in the direction of the inn.
"At the beginning of the month, we are back. Look what I bought you. Yingxiu excitedly took out all the things she had just bought when she went out shopping to show Lin Chuyue, with a happy and satisfied face.
"Hmm, didn't you go out to investigate why the water in this lotus pond stinks? Why did you buy so many things and come back?" Lin Chuyue was a little puzzled when she saw Yingxiu buying so many things.
"Oops, we've just been. I found that the water in this pond was originally tasteless, and it was the lotus flowers that really smelled!" Yingxiu replied in the face of Lin Chuyue's question.
"It's the lotus that stinks? How can it be? Isn't this lotus growing well? And it's still blooming. Lin Chuyue looked at Yingxiu in disbelief, and began to ask.
"It's true, this stinky lotus is really this lotus flower in full bloom. Originally, we thought that the reddened water was stinking, but when we saw someone washing rice with the reddened water, we felt very strange. Yingxiu explained.
"And then, how does that mean that the lotus flower is stinking?" Lin Chuyue then asked.
Then we went to ask the fellow who was washing rice with the water. The villager patiently replied that the water in this pool was tasteless, and it was still clean. So all the people here drink the water directly. Yingxiu said.
Then the servant picked up a pool of water with both hands, and the moment it was picked up, it returned to its original clarity. And it is also in a colorless and odorless state, on the contrary, this lotus flower that is blooming red and bright has been exuding the smell of blood, and it is disgusting to smell. Tongfu continued what Yingxiu hadn't finished speaking.
"Yes, this lotus is the first time I have seen it, so I feel very curious. I picked one by the hand, and as soon as I got it in my hand, the lotus flower that was originally blooming delicately became dry in an instant, and the place where it was picked off also flowed reddish juice, which made people feel terrible when they looked at it. Yingxiu looked at Lin Chuyue and described the appearance of the lotus flowers she saw.
