Chapter 400: Return to the Capital [4]

After an afternoon of discussions, there were those who were against and those who were in favor, and in the end there were more people in favor than against.

This is how it was settled.

Return to the Night King's Mansion.

Qingfeng walked up to Chu Mohan and said respectfully; "Lord, the princess went to Bodhi Temple this afternoon."

The expression on Chu Mohan's face did not change at all; "Do you know what the princess is doing in Bodhi Temple?"

light air ducts; "The princess should have gone to the Bodhi Temple to find Master Sanssouci, but unfortunately Master Sanssouci went out and traveled and didn't know when he would come back."

Chu Mohan said lightly; "The king knows."

In the room, Su Wan was half-lying on the chaise longue, holding a book in his hand.

It's just that Su Wan's mind is not in the book.

Chu Mohan entered the room, walked to the chaise longue and sat down, Su Wan was completely unknown.

"What are you thinking?"

Chu Mohan's deep voice came from above his head, and Su Wan came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at him.

"You're back, didn't think about anything."

Chu Mohan's tone was a little careless and asked; "I heard you went to Bodhi Temple this afternoon?"

Su Wan pursed his lips; "It must be the breeze they told you, why can I go to Bodhi Temple, naturally I went to Master Sanssouci to ask for some things, but it's a pity that I went at the wrong time, Master Sanssouci is not in the temple."

Chu Mo Handao; "What are you going to ask about worry-free?"

Su Wan glanced at Chu Mohan out of the corner of his eyes.

Naturally, she would not be stupid, saying that she went to find worry-free, because she wanted to ask him if there was any way to prevent her from dying.

Su Wan lied; "Isn't it said that Wuwu knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later, isn't there anything in this world that he doesn't know, since he is so powerful, I think he should know who the person refining the ghost pill is."

Chu Mohan let out an "oh".

"Master Sanssouci always says that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, even if you ask, he knows, he will not tell you."

Su Wan looked suddenly enlightened; "How did I forget this stubble?"

Su Wan changed the subject; "You and the regent entered the palace, but what clues did you have?"

Chu Mohan shook his head; "In the past two months, that person has evaporated like the world, I think that person may be refining corpse oil, refining corpse oil, and needs a large number of fresh corpses, and where there are so many fresh corpses, there is only one mass grave."

"The only way to deal with these fresh corpses is to burn them, and the corpses of mass graves, although they are all ownerless corpses, must be put into Tuwei after death."

Su Wan asked; "What is the outcome of the discussion?"

Chu Mo Handao; "There are more people in favor than against, and the fourth brother will lead people tomorrow to burn the corpses of the mass graves."

On the second day, Chu Mojing led a small team of soldiers to the mass grave.

Under Chu Mojing's order, the soldiers threw torches one by one onto the mountain of corpses made of corpses.

Smoke rose and a foul smell filled the entire mass grave.

The smoke obscured the sky, and it burned for three days and three nights before the fire slowly went out.

Within a few days, people found that their graves had been dug up and the bodies in the coffins were gone.

The news spread quickly.

"Have you heard? Recently, a number of graves have been dug up and bodies have been stolen. ”

"I've heard, I've heard, who did you say stole those bodies?"

"You can't cheat the corpse, right? I have heard that the bodies that have disappeared are those that have only been buried for a short time, and those that have been buried for a while have not been stolen. ”

"Isn't it looking for a ghost marriage?"

Underworld marriage is the search for a spouse for the deceased. Some young boys and girls died for some reason after they got married. At that time, the old people believed that if they did not marry them, their ghosts would make trouble and disturb the family. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a funeral marriage ceremony for them, and finally bury them together, become husband and wife, and bury them together. lest there be a lonely grave in the fields of the men and women.

"No way, I've heard that the stolen corpses, both men and women, old and young, don't look like a ghost marriage."

At the head of the village, several villagers sat around an old locust tree, discussing the strange things that had happened in the past few days.

The sound of their discussion was not small, and it was clear to Su Wan and Leng Xue'er beside them.

Knowing that a corpse had disappeared, Leng Xue'er pulled the Su bowl and went to the village where the body was stolen to take a look.

When the villagers saw a stranger entering the village, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Since the theft of the corpse in their village, many people from the government have come and gone, and in addition to the people from the government, there are also many people who have come to watch the excitement.

The villagers only dang, Su Wan and Leng Xue'er came to see the excitement.

Because the two were wearing men's clothes, they did not attract the attention of the villagers.

Leng Xue'er said; "It seems that the person who stole those corpses was the man, and he stole those corpses to refine corpse oil."

Su Wan's thoughts were the same as Leng Xue'er's, the person who stole the corpse was the man who refined the ghost pill.

The cemetery of the village is all gathered together.

Come to the cemetery.

There was a camp tent next to the cemetery, and several officers and soldiers came in and out of the tent.

Since the corpse was stolen in the village, Chu Mojing sent a small team of men and horses to be stationed next to the cemetery, the purpose of which was to prevent another corpse from being stolen.

Su Wan Dao; "Except for this village, most of the stolen ones are from a few surrounding villages, so we walked around to see if there was a suitable place for refining corpse oil."

It is impossible for the person who stole the body to transport the body far away, plus the villages where the body was lost are all gathered together, maybe the place where the corpse oil is refined is nearby.

Su Wan and Leng Xue'er walked around these villages, but they didn't find a suitable place to refine corpse oil.

Su Wan twisted her eyebrows, could it be that she misjudged.

The two returned to the Night King's Mansion, and Chu Mohan also happened to come back.

Su Wan asked; "How's it going over there?"

Chu Mo Handao; "Several surrounding villages have already sent people to patrol the cemetery, what happened to you on one side?"

Su Wan shook his head; "Finding nothing, we circled around several villages where the bodies were stolen and did not find a place where we could refine corpse oil."

Chu Mohan's eyes sank; "Tomorrow, I'll go with you, maybe you've missed something."

Early the next morning, the three of them set out for the villages where the bodies had been stolen.

I walked around the villages, but I didn't find a place where I could refine corpse oil.

Just as the three of them were about to go back, Chu Mohan looked at a house halfway up the mountain.

"Look at the house." Chu Mohan pointed to the house that was halfway up the mountain.

Su Wan and Leng Xue'er looked in the direction Chu Mohan was pointing.

I saw a house built of blue bricks halfway up the mountain.

Su Wan Dao; "Is there anything wrong with this house?"
