Chapter 386: The Incense Keeper

"Because the next generation of incense keepers is me."

Su Xiang said slowly.

"Incense keeper?"

Su Heng has heard a lot of words, such as the mausoleum keeper and the mountain keeper, but this incense keeper is the first time he has heard of it, just to protect the funeral incense?

What's so amazing about this incense? Why do you have to be guarded?

And what exactly is the burial incense used for?

From the memory of the old village chief, Su Heng knew that as long as they arrived at a certain place and lit the funeral incense, they would appear.

Who are they?

Is it related to the killing of the old village chief?

"The next generation? In other words, the funeral of Tianxiang has always been guarded by the village chief's grandfather? But the person who killed him, why did he take away the burial incense? ”

Su Heng couldn't help but ask.

"The incense is gone?"

Su Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then ran into the house, and after rummaging for a while, he really didn't find the burial incense.

"How so? Could it be that the person who killed my father was just to take away the incense of the burial heaven? ”

Su Xiang came to the bedroom again, looking at his father, who was lying on the bed and had been dead for a long time, his face welled up with sadness.

"I've checked, the finger prints on the neck of the village chief's grandfather are not something that ordinary people can leave, does Uncle Xiang have an impression of the black finger prints?"

Su Heng took the opportunity to ask.

At first, he thought that the murderer killed the old village chief to kill people, but now that he looks at it, there may be another purpose, that is, to seize the funeral incense.

As for his affairs, it may just be a coincidence.

In this case, it is not necessary that you will not be able to find each other.

"I've never seen it and haven't heard of it."

Su Xiang shook his head.

"Since Uncle Xiang is the next incense keeper, do you know where the burial incense is lit?"

Su Heng asked again, because since the murderer took away the funeral incense, he was bound to light it, as long as he knew the location, he might be able to find the other party.

"Xiao Heng, you just want to know so much about the location where the incense is lit?"

Suddenly, Su Xiang looked at Su Heng with a strange face.

Su Heng was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses, his performance was undoubtedly too anxious, so that the other party became suspicious.

After all, Su Heng had the eyes of reincarnation, so he knew all this, and even saw the murderer kill the old village chief and leave with the incense of burial.

But the problem is, Su Xiang doesn't know.

And what Su Heng said at the beginning was that he didn't meet the murderer.

Then how did Su Heng know that the murderer took away the funeral incense?

Why did you inquire about the location of the burial incense?

As long as it is a person, I can't help but associate it.

Could it be that Su Heng killed the old village chief in order to seize the burial heavenly incense? It's just that he didn't have time to ask the location where the incense was lit, so he deliberately stayed here to create the illusion that the murderer had left.

And then from Su Xiang's mouth, set out the location of the burial incense?

Such an inference is absolutely reasonable and intimate.

So it's no wonder that Su Xiang is suspicious of him.

"Is Uncle Xiang suspicious of me?"

Su Heng showed a wry smile, right now, his situation is getting darker and darker, and it is hard to believe.

"Shouldn't I be skeptical? Especially, you actually know about the burial of Tianxiang, this is also your biggest flaw, I am sure that my father will never tell you to bury Tianxiang, now, in the entire Qingshui Hezi Village, there are only two people who know about the burial of Tianxiang, one is my father, and the other is me. ”

Su Xiang stared at Su Heng deadly, as if he wanted to see him through, wanted to see the panic on his face, and his heart was empty.

"It seems that no matter what I say, Uncle Xiang doesn't believe it, in fact, in addition to knowing the funeral incense, I also know one thing, twenty-six years ago, my grandfather once found the village chief grandfather and got the funeral incense from him, and then, my mother disappeared, and the family just held a funeral for her.

This afternoon, I opened my mother's coffin and confirmed that it was only a clothed mound.

It was because he saw that scene that the grandfather of the village chief decided to tell me the truth of the matter, but unfortunately, he was killed before he could say it.

At first, I thought that the murderer didn't want me to know the truth, so he killed people.

But in fact, there is another possibility that the murderer killed people in order to get the incense of the burial.

And when he gets the funeral incense, he is bound to light it, so I want to know the location of the burial incense, maybe I can stop the other party in advance and avenge the village chief's grandfather. ”

Su Xiang listened to Su Heng's narration in a daze, although the suspicion in his eyes was not completely dispelled, but at least, he could barely explain it.

Especially when Su Heng said that his mother's grave was just a well-dressed mound, Su Xiang's eyelids jumped obviously.

"I believe in you."

Su Xiang said slowly.

Hearing his words, Su Heng was obviously relieved, whether it was when the old village chief was alive or Su Xiang now, he was unwilling to use the eyes of reincarnation on him, because it was a kind of disrespect.

But Su Xiang's next words made Su Heng stunned.

"It's just that I don't know where the incense is lit."

"You don't know?"

Su Heng looked at Su Xiang with some surprise, but from his words, he could clearly feel that the other party was not lying.

"Surprised? Although I am the next keeper of incense, I have not officially taken over, otherwise the incense should be with me, and at the same time, only at that time, I am qualified to know the location of the incense to be lit, as well as some rules. ”

Su Xiang showed a touch of pain on his face, and he couldn't help but wonder, if he had become a fragrance keeper earlier and took over this responsibility, would his father not have to die?

It's a pity that there is no such thing as an if in this world.

Su Heng couldn't help but be silent, he originally thought that he could know the clues here from Su Xiang, but he didn't expect that he would interrupt again just at the beginning.

Perhaps, in the entire Qingshui Hezi Village, the old village chief is the only one who knows the location.

But the question is, how did the murderer know the location?

In the old village chief's last memory, there was no forced confession, asking about the location of the burial incense, and even the whole process, the other party did not say a word.

So obviously, the other party knows where to light the incense.

"Then Uncle Xiang knows if there are any places near the village that are weird, or are they listed as forbidden places by the older generation and can't be approached?"

Su Heng thought for a while and asked.

While this method doesn't really determine the location, it's better than looking for a needle in a haystack.

This time, Su Xiang thought about it very seriously for a while, but still shook his head.

"No, if you want to talk about danger, the mountains are quite dangerous, but there is no forbidden place, and even in the mountains, people often go in to hunt, but I have never heard of anything strange happening."

"Didn't you?"

To be honest, this answer made Su Heng a little disappointed, but he also felt powerless.

Just when Su Heng was disappointed, Su Xiang spoke again.

"But I know something else, I don't know if it's useful."
