Chapter Thirty-Six: The Mysterious Woman
Everyone hurriedly followed the sound and rushed over, only to see a woman in palace clothes standing on the roof with a smile and a human head in her hand. The village chief below and Aunt Duan had already fainted in fright, and the woman was laughing wildly.
"Demon, your time of death has come." Zhang Zifan held the sword and scolded loudly.
"Hahaha, I disturbed the peace of the palace and dared to speak wildly, believe it or not, the palace let the emperor destroy your nine clans." The woman's full shelf must be the concubine of the emperor of the previous dynasty. It has been more than 200 years since the beginning of the previous dynasty, who will she be? Zhang Zifan laughed louder than she after hearing this.
"What are you laughing at, look at how this palace cleans you up." The woman's eyes were full of anger.
"I said, are you stupid sleeping in this deep mountain and old forest, your emperor doesn't know which tomb to sleep in, and he also punished the nine clans, I really laughed to death." Zhang Zifan sneered.
"What, what did you say?" The woman's expression suddenly became very flustered, "No, no, the emperor won't die." The woman looked around, and sure enough, it was not the palace where she had been living, and ran out screaming.
"Why don't you chase it?" Zhang Zifan looked at Ji Ruxi and Lei Jiao strangely.
"She's still human." Lei Jiao said calmly to Zhang Zifan.
"What? How is it possible, the last generation of emperors of the previous dynasty has been more than a hundred years now, you look at that woman, how can she look like an old woman who is more than a hundred years old, you must be wrong. Zhang Zifan immediately retorted.
"Lei Jiao is not wrong, she is indeed just one person." After Ji Ruxi finished speaking, he stepped forward to help the village chief and Aunt Duan, Zhang Zifan pinched their people, and soon they woke up one by one.
"Ah, ah, murder, murder." The village chief was very excited.
"Don't be afraid, village chief, it's me, I'm Zifan." The village chief looked at Zhang Zifan and gasped for breath, and Aunt Duan next to him had been crying in Ji Ruxi's arms, thinking that he had never seen such a bloody scene in his life.
"What the hell is going on?" After seeing that the village chief's mood was calm, Zhang Zifan asked.
"Just now, a woman ran out of nowhere, and when she entered the house, she grabbed Leizi out. The mouth also said, you disturbed the peace of the palace and took the things in the palace, and the palace asked the emperor to wish your nine clans, you all have to die. After speaking, he choked Leizi's neck, strangled him to death, and took his head. After the village chief finished speaking, he covered his eyes, and Aunt Duan's body was still trembling on the side.
"We have also caught a woman, who has been killed, and seeing that the sky is almost dawn, let's go to Leizi's house and burn her body, so as not to bring misfortune. After Ji Ruxi finished speaking, the village chief nodded and summoned everyone to Leizi's house.
The corpse of the woman was already decomposing and emitting a foul smell, which would cause a plague if not treated, and the villagers set a fire and burned it down along with Leizi's home.
"Even my life was put on the line for money, so why bother." The village chief lamented that as soon as this incident came out, it was time for the people who wanted to make a windfall in the mountains to stop.
"Let's go to the mountains and see what's going on?" Ji Ruxi proposed, and Zhang Zifan and Lei Jiao nodded together. Xiao Baozi has been hiding in Qiankun's clothes and doesn't dare to make a sound for fear of scaring people, but Ji Ruxi has been holding Qiankun's hand and never letting go.
"Does the village chief know the route to the mountains and the location of those mausoleums?" Ji Ruxi asked the village chief, this place is too big, and if you don't find it soon, I'm afraid you will die.
"I've only heard from the elders that I've never been to this mountain, but a few of those who once wanted to get rich have been, so I'll go to them and ask." After the village chief finished speaking, he immediately went to find the person who had robbed the tomb. About an hour later, the village chief brought a sketch and handed it to Ji Ruxi.
"And how are we going to find that woman?" Zhang Zifan was a little annoyed.
"yes, what if that woman comes back to us?" Thinking of the bloody scene, the village chief was dizzy.
Ji Ruxi thought for a while and turned to Lei Jiao and said, "Lei Jiao, you stay and protect the villagers, Zhang Zifan is probably not her opponent, I have sprinkled Lin powder on that woman, and when it gets dark, the place where she passes will glow, everyone be careful." ”
"Yes." Lei Jiao agreed, and Ji Ruxi went to the mountains with Zhang Zifan Qiankun to walk. When he arrived at a place where no one was around, Ji Ruxi took off his coat.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Zifan looked puzzled, and Ji Ruxi didn't pay attention to him.
"Stand up." After Ji Ruxi finished speaking, everyone stood up, and with a light click of his fingers, his clothes flew up with everyone, Zhang Zifan was amazed. Since the disappearance of the calf, Ji Ruxi has found herself a lot stronger. In the middle of the night when no one was around, she often remembered those sad and affectionate eyes, and she was so familiar.
According to the sketch given by the village chief, he has been heading south and landed on the largest mountain, which is the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty, and it is obviously not this. They continued their journey, and saw some hoes and other things scattered around the hill next to them, and there was a large hole there, which must be the legendary thief's hole. Ji Ruxi walked down first, and only one person could pass through, but it was dug neatly. The little bun woke up and got out.
"Wow, wow, I've never been to the tomb." It clapped its chubby palm excitedly.
Ji Ruxi continued to walk forward, raising the Dongzhu in his hand, and the Dongzhu given by Xuanwu actually glowed, brighter than the night pearl, illuminating the entire tomb at once. Across them was a large and heavy gate, carved with a lifelike dragon and phoenix pattern.
"Hey, that's the button for the mechanism." Xiao Baozi turned around as he spoke, and the door really opened, and there were some unusual sounds as the door opened. Ji Ruxi immediately made an enchantment in front of everyone, and a rain of arrows rushed over, and when he reached the knot, he fell again.
"I'm glad to have you, or we'd all all be shot in a sieve." Zhang Zifan patted his frightened chest and abdomen.
"It's okay, it's good to have you." This is the first time that Zhang Zifan has relied so much on Ji Ruxi.
Walking onwards, there is a stone chamber. There were many palace maids inside, all dressed exactly like the woman who was killed by Zhang Zifan. Everyone's shoes are inlaid with Dongzhu. The spirits of the tomb roam around here, resurrecting corpses once they have absorbed their popularity.
"This former emperor is really rich, and the palace maids are dressed so decently." Zhang Zifan couldn't help but be envious.
"Don't forget that the previous dynasty was also a whole, and then corruption was divided into four, of course it was a luxury."
