299 weathering, special presence

As a privileged class, after Qin Xiaoyan and Gu Qiancheng finished eating, they only needed to be the shopkeeper, and the mess in the carriage would be taken care of by their own subordinates.

The two got out of the carriage, but they were not in a hurry to enter the temple of the goddess, but walked slowly nearby to eat.

"Your Highness, General Yan returned to Beijing to take up his post, who is the person who will take over his position?" Gu Qiancheng lowered his head all the way, even if he asked Qin Shiyan a question, he didn't look up.

"A general surnamed Cheng is a confidant of the saint." Qin Shiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng from time to time, and found that she didn't have anything else abnormal except for lowering her head and occasionally kicking small pebbles, so she didn't think much about it.

"General Cheng? Haven't heard of it. Gu Qiancheng paused, turned his head to look at Qin Xiaoyan.

Qin Xiaoyan also stopped, brushing off the dead leaves on Gu Qiancheng's shoulder, Gu Qiancheng's body stiffened, and his mouth opened slightly to look at Qin Xiaoyan.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyan's face was surprised, but the hand resting on Gu Qiancheng's shoulder did not take it back.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qiancheng looked at Qin Shiyan blankly.

"Are you really okay?" Qin Shiyan looked at Gu Qiancheng with suspicion.

After leaving the city, Gu Qiancheng was weird, although Gu Qiancheng covered it up very well, Qin Xiaoyan still found out. It's just that Gu Qiancheng didn't say it, and Qin Xiaoyan was not reluctant.

"I didn't ...... No, do I have bugs on me? Gu Qiancheng froze in place, looking frightened.

"You're afraid of bugs?" Qin Xiaoyan's hand was still resting on Gu Qiancheng's shoulder.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Qiancheng didn't move, and his eyes didn't dare to glance at him, "But I'm afraid that the insects will be on me." ”

"You ......" Qin Lianyan couldn't help laughing, seeing that Gu Qiancheng still had the heart to laugh, the worry in his heart was also put down. Rest assured, you don't have bugs on you, just a few dead leaves. ”

Qin Xiaoyan patted Gu Qiancheng on the shoulder and silently withdrew his hand.

"Scared the hell out of me." Gu Qiancheng patted his heart and glanced at Qin Shiyan, "I thought I had bugs on my body, and you won't make it clear, Your Highness." ”

"You didn't give Ben Wangji a chance to speak." Qin Xiaoyan did not continue to walk forward, but pointed to the original way, signaling Gu Qiancheng to follow him back the same way.

Gu Qiancheng muttered: "If you get cheap, you can still sell well." ”

Qin Shiyan's eyes were full of smiles, and Gu Qiancheng was also smiling, but when no one was around, her eyes were full of bitterness.

The two of them returned the same way, and the subordinates had already cleaned up the carriage, opened the doors and windows to ventilate, and when they saw Qin Shiyan and Gu Qiancheng coming back, they stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, the temple of the goddess has been cleaned." ”

"Hmm." Qin Shiyan replied lightly, turned his head sideways and said to Gu Qiancheng, "Let's go in." ”

"Okay." Gu Qiancheng knew yesterday that he was going to see the dried corpse today, so he had already prepared clothes and masks to put on the outside. It was not the first time that Qin Xiaoyan had been in close contact with a corpse, and he was even more prepared than Gu Qiancheng.

Qin Xiaoyan let people burn the Pill in advance, and also brought the Suhe Xiang Pill, and handed one to Gu Qiancheng before entering the Temple of the Goddess.

The entrance to the secret room of the goddess temple was under the statue of the goddess, Gu Qiancheng couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this entrance, and looked sideways at Qin Xiaoyan, "This can also be found?" ”

Gu Qiancheng had the Suhexiang Pill in his mouth, and his speech was a little slurred, but it didn't affect his listening.

"The eyes of the statue of the goddess are strange, it is not suitable to stay here, this king asked the saint to destroy the statue of the goddess, and it turned out that the secret room under the statue of the goddess was found." Qin Shiyan also had the Suhe Xiang Pill in his mouth, but he was not affected and still spoke clearly.

"Awesome." Gu Qiancheng gave Qin Xiaoyan a thumbs up.

The secret room under the statue of the goddess is more like a cellar, and only one person is allowed to enter and exit at the entrance, and Qin Shiyan's subordinates have placed a ladder at the entrance to facilitate entry and exit.

Gu Qiancheng followed Qin Xiaoyan into the secret room. The secret room is only about ten square meters in size, cleaner than expected, there are vents in the dark, and there is no smell of rot inside.

Qin Shiyan and Gu Qiancheng didn't walk around after they came down, and the two of them stood at the entrance. Qin Shiyan pointed to the row of jars in front of him, "It's full of corpses. ”

"I'll see." Gu Qiancheng took out the gloves in his pocket, and halfway through them, he saw Qin Xiaoyan stretching out his hand towards her: "What about this king?" ”

Belch......

Gu Qiancheng obediently took off his gloves, took out the spare gloves and handed them to Qin Xiaoyan, "Just a pair." ”

"That's enough." His subordinates all wore gloves, and there was no need for Gu Qiancheng to prepare.

The four guards who came in one after another stood beside the corpse altar and bowed their heads silently, they would never tell Gu Qiancheng, they had prepared gloves for His Royal Highness King Qin.

Gu Qiancheng stepped forward, and a guard moved the lamp over and knocked down the jar containing the corpse so that Gu Qiancheng could check it, and Qin Shiyan explained on the side: "I can't be sure if this is the scene of the crime, this king didn't let people destroy it, and when you finish checking, this king will let people carry these corpse altars out." ”

"Hmm." Gu Qiancheng nodded, took the oil lamp in the guard's hand, and approached the altar to check.

The corpse was fully encased in the jar, with its head resting on the mouth of the jar, and it looked as if it was sitting there. The corpse was perfectly preserved, and the flesh on it was shriveled up instead of rotting, as if the blood had been drained and the flesh had been dried.

The mouth of the jar is very small, only the size of a head, and there is really not much that can be seen through the mouth of the jar, so the jar must be opened and the corpses inside removed.

Gu Qiancheng had no plans to conduct an autopsy today, nor did he plan to conduct an autopsy here, so he asked the guards to put it down after taking a glance, and then took the oil lamp and walked around the secret room.

The ventilation effect of the secret room is excellent, the temperature is pleasant, Gu Qiancheng took a turn here, carefully checked every corner, and it was certain that this was not the scene of the crime.

This chamber was used to store dried corpses.

Gu Qiancheng said to Qin Xiaoyan: "Your Highness, let someone carry an altar out first, this secret room is very special, I suspect that these dried corpses will be weathered when they go outside." ”

"Okay." Qin Shiyan glanced over, and the guards immediately moved out the corpse altar that Gu Qiancheng had just seen, with one person behind him, and the two of them supporting him, walking towards the entrance of the ladder.

The jar is just right for the guò entrance.

"I'll go up to you first." The other guard, who climbed up first, waited on it.

The four guards worked together and quickly carried the corpse altar out.

With a "bang", the corpse altar fell to the ground, and before Gu Qiancheng and Qin Shiyan could ask, the guard above said loudly: "Palace, Your Highness, the dried corpse has weathered, and all the flesh on it has turned to ashes, leaving only a jar of white bones." ”

See the light to die?

Qin Shiyan and Gu Qiancheng looked at each other, Gu Qiancheng sighed, "These corpses can't move, let's get ready, let's open the corpse altar directly in the secret room." ”

"This place is wicked." Qin Shiyan shook his head disapprovingly, "This king let the officials do it, don't interfere." ”

Qin Shiyan was worried that there was danger here. But Gu Qiancheng is a professional, and she knows very well that there is no danger in this secret room, but the climate of this secret room is suitable for storing dried corpses.

"I don't need to find another person, I can check, this secret room is a treasure of feng shui, and there will be no danger." Gu Qiancheng said half-jokingly.

Qin Shiyan raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?" ”

"I can assure you that there is no danger here. If there is a real problem, can we still get out? ”

Qin Shiyan thought about it, he had been here once before, if it was really dangerous, he would have encountered it a long time ago......
