When Yanyu took back the monkey Ling'er, opened her eyes again, and looked at Yao'er, who was sleeping soundly beside her, she was also inexplicably at a loss in her heart, that is, she didn't know whether she should suspect a little girl who was only eight years old. （）

Because of all kinds of indications, Yao'er did sneak out of the Goddess Palace unconsciously just now and went to Lingyang Palace in the cold palace area.

And according to the smoke and rain just now, after carefully inspecting through the monkey Ling'er, it can be concluded that Yao'er climbed out of the window next to the back door of her dormitory, climbed along the corridor pillars to the roof of the palace, and then followed the roofs of different palaces all the way to the Lingyang Palace in the cold palace area.

Such a route is very dangerous to walk, and it also tests people's courage and skill, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can do casually.

Even if you let the best royal guards in the palace go to Lingyang Palace along such a route, you have to keep your eyes open and walk very carefully to be successful.

So Yanyu didn't believe that an eight-year-old girl sleepwalking could go to Lingyang Palace like this, obviously Yao'er lied just now.

And Yanyu has reason to believe that Yao'er definitely didn't sleepswim past, but carefully avoided the patrolling royal guards with her eyes open, and finally arrived at Lingyang Palace.

Because when Yanyu used Monkey Ling'er to carefully check the traces left on this road, he found that Yao'er stopped several times halfway, and each time she stopped, it happened to be the intersection of the road that the royal guards must pass through.

In other words, whenever Yao'er found the patrolling royal guards coming, she would lie on the darkest side of the roof as much as possible, and wait for the patrolling royal guards to pass before continuing to walk forward.

This kind of behavior can never be done by sleepwalking, so Yanyu can already completely conclude that Yao'er was completely awake before, and sneakily went to Lingyang Palace.

Thinking of this, Yanyu felt that the problem came again, that is, this Yao'er had just followed her back to the palace during the day, and it was the first time she had entered the palace, and she was not familiar with the layout of the palace at all, so why did she go to the cold palace?

And why do you sneakily go to the cold palace in the middle of the night? Why not go to a palace where there is a lot of activity?

It stands to reason that as a child, it is the first time for her to enter the palace, so it is inevitable that she will go out for a walk because of curiosity. But it should also be interesting to go to a brightly lit palace? What is there to appreciate in the dark cold palace?

If she can't sleep, she can ask herself or Phantom Lotus to go out for a walk with her, and there is no problem.

There is no need to make such a perverse move.

Unless what Yao'er wants to do is unspeakable, it must not be seen by anyone.

But what unspeakable thing can an eight-year-old girl do? Then there is only one possibility, she just looks like an eight-year-old girl, but in fact she is an adult at all, and it is not impossible that she is even an old woman who doesn't know how many years she has lived.

When Yanyu sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at the sleeping Yao'er in deep thought, the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt.

Before, because she was really a poor child who had lost her father, Yanyu lost all her vigilance, but at this moment, Yanyu calmed down and analyzed, and recalled the details since she met Yao'er, Yanyu suddenly found that there were many loopholes, and many places could not withstand scrutiny.

First of all, the first time she saw Yao'er, it was very suspicious, when Yanyu took a carriage and rushed all the way to the tomb of the Langyue Wolman clan, there were obviously no living people on the road, but Yao'er actually survived.

In that environment, if the woman Yao'er cried and called her mother was really her mother's mother, why wasn't Yao'er's body invaded by the Soul Eater Poison Ant?

Because once the soul eater ant has sucked the soul body of a living person, it will leave the corpse and go to find the living person to burrow into the body and continue to suck the soul.

And that area is full of dead people for a hundred miles, just Yao'er is a living person, it stands to reason that her body should be crawling with soul-devouring poisonous ants, but when Yanyu rushed to the crying Yao'er in a carriage, the soul-devouring poisonous ant queen who was also sitting in the carriage secretly checked Yao'er's body in the carriage for the safety of Yanyu, and did not find any soul-devouring poisonous ants in her body.

Only then did she agree to let Yanyu get out of the carriage to see her, otherwise once Yanyu came into contact with Yao'er, then if Yao'er had a soul-devouring poisonous ant in her body, she would take the opportunity to burrow into Yanyu's body and devour her soul.

It's a pity that Yanyu was bent on saving this poor little girl at that time, completely ignoring the strange phenomenon of why there were no soul devouring poisonous ants in her body.

Thinking about it now, Yanyu realized that she was careless at that time, if she had taken a closer look at the little girl and the corpse of the mother who had been dead for many days, she might be able to see the clues.

She couldn't help but suspect that the woman with the decomposing corpse on the ground was really Yao'er's mother?

Thinking about it, Yanyu recalled a detail that he had overlooked before, that is, the partially decomposed woman's body lying on the ground was an unmarried woman at all.

Because her hair is combed in a style that only women who have not left the cabinet can use, not a married woman's bun style.

Obviously, she couldn't have had an eight-year-old daughter.

If the woman's body was really not Yao'er's mother's mother, then Yao'er deliberately lay on her body and cried and called her mother, just to confuse others.

And the purpose of the confusion is to make others think that she is already an orphan, and then as soon as her heart softens, she will take her in, so that she can enter Yuqin Village smoothly.

Another thing that makes Yanyu feel very coincidental is that the place where she met Yao'er is near the tomb of the Langyue Wolman clan. Is this a coincidence? Or is there some secret inside?

In order to confirm his guess, Yanyu closed his eyes again and carefully examined it in the mask of the goddess, and when Yanyu saw the content of the tomb of the Langyue Wolman clan, it was also mentioned that there would be living people in some tombs as burial objects, so he hurriedly looked carefully.

At a glance, it turned out that in ancient times, those who seriously violated the laws of the Langyue Wollman clan would be put into the tomb alive as burial goods.

The living were subjected to the most severe torture before they died in the graves. It won't be long before it will turn into a soul body and wander the tomb, and finally be eaten by the soul eater ants guarding the tomb.

Only a very small number of soul bodies with talent and cultivation talent can comprehend the cultivation method from the extremely obscure murals in the tomb, and become strong through cultivation, and no longer be threatened by the Soul Devouring Poisonous Ants, and survive.

Therefore, the mask also mentions that in ancient times, there were also precedents of souls buried in tombs escaping from tombs.

These souls will repossess the corpse, borrow the corpse to return to the soul, and live in the ordinary people.

They tend to continue to look for more advanced cultivation methods so that they can continue to cultivate.

Before they had obtained the secrets of the advanced cultivation method, in order to prevent the possessed corpses from decomposing and decomposing, they often had to regularly suck the essence and blood of living people in order to keep their bodies from becoming living people, so that they could blend in with the crowd and not be noticed.

This kind of corpse that relies on sucking blood to incarnate a living person usually has cooler hands and feet than a living person, and does not have the breathing and heartbeat necessary for a normal living person.

They will especially favor and rely on humans with noble bloodlines, even if they don't suck the essence blood of these humans, just being with them can keep them alive for a long time.

Once they are left alone, their bodies will decay again, and they will have to feed on living humans or animals before they can return to normal.

After reading this text in the mask, Yanyu suddenly realized!

That's no wonder Yao'er is very dependent and close to her as soon as she sees her, and always likes to stick to her. Even when you sleep, you have to be with her.

Because Yanyu knew that she was a lotus born celestial girl, her blood was rare and noble, and she was the most favorite human being for people like Yao'er who possessed corpses.

Yanyu also quickly deduced that because he couldn't sleep before, he left the dormitory and went out for a walk.

And Yao'er was not around because Yanyu was around, so her body began to change again, and she woke up.

After that, it may have taken advantage of Phantom Lian's inattention, slipped out of the back door and window of the dormitory, and climbed up to the roof of the palace along the pillar, and cautiously came all the way to the deserted cold palace area.

After sucking the essence blood of some rats in several palaces of Lingyang Palace, she met Princess Yidan who was abused and punished by Concubine Yin Guifei in the garden, and then Yao'er used some psychedelic magic to make Princess Yidan believe the so-called sleepwalking, and persuaded Princess Yidan to personally send her back to the Goddess Palace.

It's just that not long after leaving Lingyang Palace, she met herself who came out to relax, and Yao'er hurriedly mentioned Princess Yidan's unfortunate experience to distract herself, so that she ignored Yao'er's unreasonable behavior of appearing in the cold palace out of sympathy for Princess Yidan's experience at that time.

If it weren't for returning to the dormitory, having nothing to do, and carefully checking the traces of Yao'er leaving the dormitory, I'm afraid Yanyu wouldn't know how long she would have been deceived by this evil eight-year-old girl.

Thinking of this, Yanyu was also afraid for a while, that is, fortunately, he saw through Yao'er's true identity in time now, otherwise it would not be a matter of killing a few mice to let Yao'er live in the palace for a long time.

What made Yanyu even more grief-stricken was that she suspected that the culprit who caused Meng Ling to die of being sucked in the woods before was Yao'er lying beside her.

To confirm all this, it is not difficult for Yanyu to know, just take a closer look at Yao'er's body, in addition to the fact that her hands and feet are colder than normal, if she doesn't even have breathing and heartbeat, then she must be the burial companion who escaped from the tomb.

After having this idea, Yanyu decisively stretched out his hand, touched Yao'er's arm, it was indeed cold, and gently tried Yao'er's breathing, and sure enough, there was no one!

In the end, Yanyu slowly put her palm close to Yao'er's chest and put it on the part where her heart was to feel it, as she expected, she didn't feel a heartbeat at all!

In other words, Yao'er in front of her is not a human at all! It's a dead body! She was completely deceived by Yao'er!

At that moment, Yanyu also became extremely angry......
