Chapter 152: Suspicion

Ignoring the scholars who had begun to doubt her life, Miss Yuening returned to her attic, and soon after, a maid came in to change her clothes and comb her hair.

The maid broke the jade comb before, and although it has been forgiven, it has been replaced with a new one.

The maid combed her hair as usual, and inadvertently raised her eyes to find that the young lady was pinching a piece of paper and looking at it intently, and glanced at it curiously, but she was illiterate, but vaguely felt that the font flying was quite good-looking, presumably the person who wrote it was also a talented son, and couldn't help but ask half curiously and half snickering, "Miss, could it be that you received a love letter from someone you like?" ”

That is, Yue Ning is not strict on weekdays, so she dares to make such a joke.

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense, where did you come from......

Yue Ning glanced at him with disgust, and his fingertips subconsciously wanted to hide the paper, but after a pause, he still folded it carefully, probably feeling satisfied, and then raised his hand and put it in a brocade box, as if he was treating some rather precious treasure.

Such an unusual behavior made the maid more and more curious. After all, in the past, although the young lady was as charming as an ordinary Oiran and could attract countless scholars and talents, in fact, she had never really looked at any man differently, let alone collected the other party's literature and ink like a treasure.

"Could it be that Miss Cheng really has a crush?" The maid felt a little new in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask more, after all, there was a difference between master and servant, and if she was reckless and talked too much, I am afraid that it would not end well.

At this time, she suddenly heard the young lady whispering, "Girl, you say me...... Is it beautiful? ”

Hearing this, she raised her head strangely, and saw that the young lady's fingertips lightly touched the beautiful side face, and looked at herself in the mirror in a daze, as if waiting for an answer.

"Naturally, it's beautiful." The little maid was a little strange, and said with a smile, "I don't know how many sons outside spend a lot of money just to see the young lady!" ”

"Beautiful...... Yuening's eyelids drooped slightly, she had suspected that her charm had been lost, otherwise why would Du Gongzi not even want to look at her more?

It's just that at this moment, her heart moved, her eyes changed slightly, and she turned to the maid and said, "Okay, I'll deal with it myself, I'm sleepy, you go out first......"

The maid was stunned, nodded ignorantly, put down the comb, turned around and left the room.

And the moment she closed the door, she saw a bird of flowers rushing in through the open window, as if something was chasing it from behind.

"Oh no, no, no!" The birds chirped, constantly flapping their wings and spinning back and forth in mid-air, "Ah Si, they've found the corpses of those missing monsters!" ”

"Corpses?!"

Yue Ning's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly got up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I can't say the specifics, come with me to have a look!"

The bird was impatient, flapping its wings and flying out of the window into the distance.

Seeing this, she hurriedly turned into a streamer and followed, and she couldn't care about anything else for a while.

A man and a bird crossed the river, and soon came to a rather secluded deep mountain forest, which was sparsely populated, and there were few humans on weekdays, even those hunters would not easily penetrate here.

Because of this, such a deep forest is often a paradise for youkai who have no quarrel with the world.

However, what I never expected was that this tragedy happened here!

Under a towering tree, there was a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with the smell of the forest soil, and it was an alternative cold.

At this time, Yue Ning re-revealed her figure, took a deep breath and slowly approached, there were already more than a dozen large and small monsters around here, there were eagles, and there were also beasts on the ground, without exception, they were all friends, and they had made an appointment to help each other together.

As she drew closer, they glanced at each other and silently moved out of the way.

When she looked through the monsters and landed on the soil under the trees, she could see the corpses of a white-haired fox and a tanuki......

Faintly visible, the location of their chest cavity is blurred with flesh and blood, the heart seems to have been dug out and disappeared, and the skin and bones are covered in bones, as if the blood has been drained, and they have suffered a lot before they die, which is terrifying!

She slowly walked in front of her and squatted down, her fingertips gently brushing the hair that was almost dry, her face became a little pale, and her heart tingled faintly.

She whispered, "Who did that?" ”

"I don't know."

The dog demon who first found the corpse shook his head, his face ashamed, "When I found their breath here, it was already like this......"

"No murderer's breath?" She frowned slightly.

"Nope."

"What a deep hatred that is, who wants to kill ...... like this"

She pursed her lips, her clear eyes filled with sadness and anger.

Even when you meet those Taoist priests and monks who don't look down on ghosts the most, at most, it's just a pleasure, why not!

It's just that at this moment, she seemed to notice something unusual, lowered her head and groped for the corpse, her heart moved, but her brows furrowed even more, "It's the breath of a charm......

But this spell seems unusual, because it does not have any aura itself, and the reason why it can be effective is because it contains an aura that she is somewhat familiar with—righteousness!

It is precisely because of the righteousness contained in it that this spell will exert its power far beyond itself, and instantly subdue the monster who stepped into the trap, and he can't even call for help, so he can only lead his neck to be killed!

Righteousness is the nemesis of all ghosts!

"Righteousness?!"

Her expression changed slightly, as if she remembered something.

There are not many people who can have righteousness, and in Yuanyang City, she has only seen Du Bai so far.

Could it be Du Gongzi?

"That's not right!"

She dismissed the somewhat frightening speculation.

First of all, Du Bai in her cognition is not a person who would be so cruel to the demon clan, if this is the case, there are countless opportunities to do something to her on the painting boat and on the river bank before, why let her go again and again.

The second point is also the reason why she really denies that the murderer is Du Bai, precisely because the righteousness on this spell is not the same as the righteousness she felt from Du Bai.

Just as people have a thousand faces, each person's perception of righteousness is also different, and some subtle differences are a good means of discernment.

For example, the righteousness she felt by Du Bai's side before was magnificent and mysterious, as if facing an untouchable existence, the courage not to be afraid of life and death.
