Chapter 217: Striking the grass and startling the snake

The atmosphere in the Qin ancestral hall immediately became very solemn. The five columns of wind, fire, thunder, lightning, and ice were in strict formation, ready to launch an offensive against Chen Mengsheng and the others at any time. For this kind of life-threatening fight. Chen Mengsheng thought to himself that he had no certainty of preserving the lives of Shangguan Yanran and the three of them......

Qin Xiawan said coldly: "Sir, you also saw it. If you don't give an explanation, someone will die here today."

Chen Mengsheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "Immortal Gu is reasonable. Then I'll be bold. The remaining coral stone powder in the sarcophagus slide of Qin Mu should have been left over in the past few days. I don't know who has been here for a few days."

"Uh. These days, the clan is busy electing the fairy girl. I didn't notice that anyone had ever come to the ancestral hall. Spring. Summer. Autumn. The four priests of winter came out to speak. Somebody has been in these days." Qin Xia shouted loudly. When the four priests in the inner room heard this, they came out and bowed down to the ground.

The priest on the left looked up and replied, "The ancestral hall was originally guarded by the four of us. We've been here in turns for the past few days, and we haven't seen anyone come in."

Chen Mengsheng paced forward and looked at her and said, "You're lying. Because you're also complicit."

Qin Xiawan exclaimed, "What. What do you say?"

Chen Mengsheng still held Shangguan Yanran's hand and said, "Before I pushed the sarcophagus, I thought the coffin lid was heavy. But when I tried it, I realized that it wasn't very tight. With the strength of a normal person, it is completely possible to push the sarcophagus. But the man who came to push open the sarcophagus did not know where the Barbarian Sutra was hidden. So I used a stupid method......"

"What a way." Qin Xiawan asked urgently.

Chen Mengsheng pointed to the sarcophagus and said, "The person who came took out all the things in the sarcophagus. This includes the body of Madam Qin. If I'm right. You can send someone to look through the mud and ash stains on Grandma Qin's back clothes now."

Qin Xiawan shouted: "It's really bold. Who is so unconscionable? You guys come with me and check it out. If there are mud marks on Grandma Qin's back, I will definitely chop up the treasure thief and feed it to the dogs." Qin Xiawan was angry and hurriedly came to the sarcophagus of Madam Qin with a few strong women. Chen Mengsheng followed them and watched unhurriedly.

Liu Chan stretched out her hand to stop Chen Mengsheng and asked, "Do you really know who took the Wuman Sutra?" There was a look of adoration in the little girl's eyes. It's impossible for ordinary people to know about it.

Chen Mengsheng neither opened his mouth nor denied it. Just a smile indifferently. The second monk who made Liu Chan was confused. Liu Zhenzhen dragged Liu Chan before Chen Mengsheng approached the sarcophagus slowly......

Grandma Qin's body was lying in a sarcophagus. Qin Xiawan reached out and took out the coral stone placed on Madam Qin's chest. Impartially, the height of the whole coral stone leans against the coffin, and it will really rub into the chute groove. Grandma Qin's body is either holding her head or carrying her feet. There is no way for a man to lift a four-foot-tall coffin.

Qin Xiawan gritted her teeth and said, "Don't blame Grandma Qin. Today was forced to disturb Grandma Qin. A few of you guys are helping out. After I find out, I will ask Grandma Qin for guilt." A few strong women have the instructions of the fairy girl. Only then did he dare to raise his head and carry his feet to carry Grandma Qin's body out of the coffin.

Qin Xiawan squatted down and saw that there were a few pieces of mildew rotted out of the corpse water on the back of Qin's silk clothes, and there were clear yellow mud marks on the outside. In addition to Qin Xiawan, Chen Mengsheng and others also saw it. The facts are in front of you. Qin Xiawan's old face turned blue angrily and shook her sleeves and shouted, "Qin Feiyan. Okay, you, Qin Feiyan, as a sacrifice, conspired with the thieves. Say. What the hell is going on?"

The sacrificial priest kneeling on the left head kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged: "Immortal Gu spare her life. I...... I...... I really don't know."

"You dare to deny you when you die. Then you tell me where the mud marks on Grandma Qin's corpse came from." Qin Xia shouted loudly.

The priest knelt on the ground and argued, "Immortal Gu spares her life. Grandma Qin has been dead for so many years, and it is difficult to protect that there is something filthy on the bottom of the sarcophagus that is stained on the clothes of Grandma Qin's corpse."

Chen Mengsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "A woman with sharp teeth. Can you imagine that undressing and looking through the Barbarian Sutra would ignore the mud on the ground?"

"What. You said that they also unwrapped Grandma Qin's corpse clothes. You...... Did you see it with your own eyes?" Qin Xia looked at Chen Mengsheng in surprise and asked.

Chen Mengsheng glanced at the people in the ancestral hall: "Then who has seen the Liu family kill Grandma Qin. Who saw me kill Qin Hong again. You don't see it and say it as if it were true. I'll admit I didn't see them hunt for treasure with my own eyes. But often the dead tell me some truths. The dead don't lie."

Qin Xia said coldly: "Sir, if you have something to say, please say it directly. It's not that we don't understand what you mean by scolding Huai. Qin clan people"

"The most unbelievable thing about me when I opened the sarcophagus was that the corpse clothes on Grandma Qin's body didn't even have a wrinkle. After death, the blood, water, and internal organs in the body will swell and then dry up. The clothes of the deceased have undergone several degree changes. There wasn't even a single pleat. The sarcophagus is very finely made. In the mezzanine of the sarcophagus I could see some of the lime. Great. The liquor is blended with dry matter to keep the deceased from rotting. But it's absolutely impossible to stop the corpse." Chen Mengsheng's explanation made most of the people in the ancestral hall understand. It is normal for a person's body to decay and shrivele after death, but it is not normal for the clothes on the corpse to be wrinkled without a little wrinkle......

Qin Xiawan shouted, "Qin Feiyan. You're an old man of the clan, too. Grandma Qin was not thin on you when she was alive. How dare you guard and steal yourself."

The priest bowed his head and said, "I don't have ...... I don't know anything. Fairy aunt, don't listen to other people's instigation. As the head of the four sacrifices in the ancestral hall, how can I be disrespectful to Madam Qin. It's clear that someone has imposed a crime on me. Fairy Gu, you have to make decisions for me. I really don't know about Grandma Qin's coffin......"

Chen Mengsheng shook his head and sighed: "Grandma Qin's corpse clothes are just one of the suspicions. This eldest sister, you may not know what is going on with Grandma Qin's face darkening. If it's not for you to do. Then come and take a look at Grandma Qin's face."

Qin Feiyan cried out in a lost voice: "What. Grandma Qin's face ...... What's wrong with Grandma Qin's face...... I...... I ......"

Qin Feiyan refused to get up and go over. Chen Mengsheng shouted again: "Then let the other three eldest sisters come over and take a look at Grandma Qin's face."

The people in the ancestral hall were dumbfounded by Chen Mengsheng's words. How can anyone look at the face of a dead man? But this kid seems to be very capable, and he can know that there are mud marks on the back of Qin's corpse clothes. I don't know if Grandma Qin will really open her eyes and point out who touched her. Everyone's curiosity immediately turned to suspicion. Qin Xiawan stretched out her hand and waved it to let the other three priests walk over. The eyes of the Qin clan were all fixed on the three sacrifices. It would be too thrilling if Grandma Qin cheated the corpse......

Chen Mengsheng asked the strong woman holding Grandma Qin's body to put Grandma Qin into the sarcophagus. The three priests looked at Grandma Qin's face with nervous expressions. But apart from being afraid, the three priests didn't see any change in Grandma Qin's face. The three priests looked at each other anxiously, not knowing what to say.

Chen Mengsheng said unhurriedly: "Tell me now. Have you ever smelled this kind of corpse stench in the past few days?"

"Three days ago." The three priests replied almost in unison.

Qin Xia said angrily: "Mr. Chen. What the hell are you doing. What does this have to do with Grandma Qin's face?"

Chen Mengsheng turned to face Qin Xiawan and said, "It's a big deal. I wonder who guarded this place three days ago."

The three priests pointed to Qin Feiyan who was kneeling on the ground. Chen Mengsheng said with a straight face: "Grandma Qin's face is black because the deceased has been exposed to the air and the corpse has changed. To be able to carry the corpse and find the object requires at least half a burnt of incense. The smell of corpses that has accumulated for more than ten years will definitely spread throughout the audience in the half-burnt incense. And there are no doors and windows in the ancestral hall, so the smell of corpses is difficult to get rid of. Fairy Gu. What do you think?"

Qin Xiawan was immediately understood by Chen Mengsheng when she said this. Chen Mengsheng was using the smell of corpses to investigate the sacrifices in the ancestral hall that day. Two different things happen to one person at the same time. There's got to be a problem. Qin Feiyan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground. Qin Xiawan made a swift move to hold Qin Feiyan's lifeline......

Liu Zhenzhen said angrily: "Witch heart magic. It's someone making witchcraft. Let's check the people around you immediately to see who is casting the spell." The Qin clan people in the ancestral hall were in an uproar. Only the legendary Lisu witchcraft that determines life and death will actually appear here.

Chen Mengsheng hurriedly stepped forward and probed Qin Feiyan's vein. Her symptoms are exactly the same as Shangguan Yanran's. The three souls and seven spirits are all enclosed in the body. His own spiritualism has no reaction to it like a mud cow entering the sea.

Chen Mengsheng turned back to Qin Xiawan and shouted, "Immortal Gu. What I said you are now credible. The person who stole the Barbarian Sutra is your Qin clan. And it's in this ancestral hall."

Qin Xiawan said angrily: "Okay. Good. Good. Today's mess has opened my mind. I have followed Grandma Qin for so many years and I have never seen witchcraft. There are people in the clan who are practicing the spells of the Barbarian Sutra. If I don't break this person's body into thousands of pieces, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to Grandma Qin."

Liu Zhenzhen's eagle-like eyes swept everyone in the ancestral hall. But now everyone is in danger, and no one looks like a magician. Liu Zhenzhen could only ask Chen Mengsheng, "Mr. Chen. Since ancient times, witchcraft has only been owned by the patriarch. Even the fairy girl is just a spell from the Wuman Sutra taught by the patriarch. If the Barbarian Sutra is obtained by a ruthless person. The consequences are unimaginable."

Chen Mengsheng let go of Qin Feiyan's vein and sighed: "This eldest sister should be an insider. But like Yanran, she was secretly attacked by the black hand, and her soul was sealed in her body. We are anxious to find out who is behind the scenes. On the contrary, it is a surprise to the snake. Those who have obtained the Barbarian Sutra are now on guard. I can't think of anything else."

Liu Chan said hurriedly: "When I was a child, I heard the Holy Mother Fairy Gu talk about witchcraft. It was an ancient technique used by the Qiang witch sacrifice to manipulate the prisoners of war to fight. Without the barbarian scriptures, those who have been subjected to witchcraft can only wait to die......"

At this time, a strange voice of yin and yang sounded from the side: "Yo. It turns out that there are still people here who know witchcraft. But I don't know if the Liu clan is deliberately calling a thief here."
