Chapter 13: The Moving Corpse

The two of them walked all night before they came out of the mountains, and it seemed that they had taken the wrong way to spend so much more time. Not long after they arrived in the city, Yun Luo saw several men in white shirts walking over.

"You wait for me a moment."

Yun Luo threw down such a sentence and ran over to talk to the white-shirted men, Rong Zhou also looked not far away, and those people seemed to be respectful to Yun Luo.

Speaking of which, the imperial aunt didn't tell him Yunluo's origin at the beginning, but only said that it was one of her apprentices, who was proficient in medicine and poison, and tried not to provoke her. At that time, I thought it was because I had a request for others, so my aunt let me not provoke her, but now I see that the masters around her and in the deep mountains are also pampered, and they have a lot to do with Baicao Valley, and they are familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Could it be her identity......

"Let's go, let's go find Night Seven."

Yun Luo finished talking to the white-clothed people in a blink of an eye, and came back with something. Rong Zhou also put away his thoughts, and walked two more teas in the city before he met Ye Qi.

As soon as Ye Qi saw Rong Zhou, he began to blame himself, and only then did he remember to say to Yun Luo in the end: "Qingchuan went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to ask for someone......

"Oh, don't worry about him, let's go to the inn to rest first, I'm tired from walking all night."

After Yun Luo finished speaking, she walked to the inn, and Rong Zhou also raised her eyebrows and laughed in her heart - obviously I carried you all night, and you were still yelling that you were tired.

At noon, the noise outside woke Yunluo. The little girl ran to the first floor angrily and found that Rong Zhouyi and Yeqi were also below.

"What's going on?" She looked at the noisy crowd and asked, and Rong Zhou also smoothed her messy hair and said, "That body was found." ”

"That's them! Yesterday, I had already entered the worship room, but I came back early this morning. ”

A few people pointed at Yun Luo and Rong Zhouyi, as if they were going to eat them.

"They must have angered the gods, otherwise Xiaomei would not have died!"

Yun Luo was already a little angry when she got up, but at this time, she was even more angry, stepped on the chair and said, "If the gods kill people, they will leave you a corpse?" She was poisoned, what does it have to do with me? Every day the gods are talking about it, which of you has ever seen a real god? ”

"Then you said that you have already entered the ritual room, why did you come back? Also How do you know she was poisoned? ”

Yun Luo was just about to refute the people blocking the door of the inn and questioning one after another, after all, the little girl only had one mouth, where could she talk about them, and she was so angry that she took a porcelain bottle from her waist.

"What are you going to do?" Rong Zhou also grabbed her wrist and stopped her movements. Yun Luo snorted unconvinced, looked at those unreasonable people and said, "Poison them, look at how noisy they are." ”

"Don't make a mess, if you really poison them, you're going to get into trouble." Rong Zhou also asked her to stuff the bottle back, Yun Luo pouted and ran back to the second floor with Rong Zhouyi.

"What are you doing here?"

Yeqi stood at the top of the stairs to stop the gang of people who were catching up, and Rong Zhou also leaned against the door to watch her pack her things.

"Of course it's a different place, do you think the inn is still living now?"

Yun Luo's things didn't have time to take them out, Rong Zhou also went back to his house to take the baggage away, and the two of them jumped out of the window, followed by Ye Qi. The three of them came to a pharmacy in a hurry.

"Miss, why are you here?"

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy looked at Yunluo very respectfully, and the little girl threw the burden into his arms and said, "Find me a house, I will live here for a few days." And that Zhang Tianshi asked God to ask the spirit, what was going on? ”

The shopkeeper personally went to find the house, pulled a medicine boy in front of Yun Luo, and said, "Xiaoliu knows a lot, let him tell the young lady that his subordinates will go to find a place to live first." ”

Yun Luo nodded, sat in the chair, looked at Xiao Liudao, and said, "Then you tell me about Heavenly Master Zhang and asking God to ask the spirit." ”

"Yes. It all started two months ago, when young women and young men often disappeared in the villages and cities around the city. Some of them will not be long after the corpse is found outside the city, and it is said that the water in the corpse has been sucked dry, and it has become a dried corpse. ”

"The prefect sent people into the mountains to look for it to no avail, and there are still corpses every few days, and it seems that there are more female corpses. About a month and a half ago, a Taoist priest suddenly came and claimed to be the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, saying that there are evil spirits in our place, and he can set up an altar to ask God to kill these evil spirits. ”

The people naturally believed it, and after he did the Fa once, there were no missing people, and there were no female corpses on the mountain. It was only after half a month that people began to disappear and corpses began to appear, so he continued to set up the altar. Until a few days ago, he said that the evil spirits had been cleared, but it was very likely that they had annoyed the gods because of the lack of offerings, so they would die again and again, so they had to ask the gods to know how to appease the spirits' grievances. ”

Yun Luo listened to the clouds, Rong Zhou also nodded in his heart, and said, "So there were many people in that ritual room yesterday, right?" ”

"Yes, I heard that more than a dozen people entered one after another. I didn't expect Miss to be selected, but fortunately, Miss is fine, otherwise how would we explain it. ”

Xiao Liu scratched his head very unexpectedly, and no one informed her of the news that the young lady was going down the mountain.

"I don't blame you for this, this Heavenly Master is really from the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" Yun Luo waved her hand to show that she didn't take yesterday's events to heart, Xiao Liu shook his head when he heard this question, and said, "I don't know about this." ”

"You go get busy, and by the way, get us something to eat."

Xiao Liu ran out to buy food after a sigh, Yun Luo looked at Rong Zhou and asked with a little face, "What do you think?" ”

"There are no ghosts and gods in this world, they are all tricks and tricks." He didn't believe in these strange powers, and he believed that someone was doing something unsightly under this name.

Not long after, Xiao Liu came back with food, and said while setting the dishes: "Miss, I'm looking for you outside." When you said that you had killed someone, even the people in the government were alarmed. Do you want us to ......?"

"No, just let him handle it." Yun Luo bit her chopsticks and glanced at Rong Zhouyi, then squinted her eyes and smiled, full of flattery.

He could vaguely guess the identity of this girl now, but why did she hide it?

"Zhouzhou, you don't want us to be wanted. You can't go down the street like this, I promise you to wait until Chuanchuan comes back and we'll go, okay? ”

Even if Yun Luo wanted to drag him to Baicao Valley, they were already involved in trouble in Luling, and she could reveal her identity at any time, so there was little point in staying any longer.

Rong Zhou also looked at the little girl in front of him with sparkling eyes, and said with a change of heart: "Yes." "This time, he wants to stay and find out more than the little girl, what is going on with that poison, and does it have anything to do with him...... Whether it was man-made or coincidental, he wanted to find out.

As for this girl's mind, she is so confused, and when the time comes, she can keep people by making an excuse, so don't worry too much.

Yun Luo had no worries, and when she was full, she sat sleepy in the wicker chair and fell asleep. Rong Zhou also took a token to let Yeqi out, and when he came back, he brought a few people.

"Master, these people insist on seeing you and Miss Yunluo, they say that they have no malicious intent, they just want to ask about something."

Ye Qi is smarter and more flexible than Qingchuan, and he can see that these people really have no malice to dare to bring people back. Yun Luo was dozing off in the big rattan chair where the soft pillow was, and Rong Zhou also got up to see these people.

"I heard that Childe once saw the body of the little girl, and concluded that she was poisoned to death?" A middle-aged man asked with a haggard face, and Rong Zhou also nodded and said, "I've seen it before, but how could Ling Qianjin appear in the deep mountains?" “

Those people were shocked and wondered, "This ...... The yamen said that the body was found at the foot of the mountain outside the city, how could it be in the deep mountains? ”

Rong Zhou was also puzzled in his heart, he and Yun Luo were indeed the corpses they saw in the mountains, and they walked for nearly a night before they got out of the mountains, how could the corpses appear at the foot of the mountains?

"Do you know this object?" He handed the jade pendant wrapped in a handkerchief from his purse to the eyes of several people, and the young man suddenly said bitterly: "This, this is my love token for Xiaomei." This jade perry is also engraved with a beautiful word......"

The young man was very excited and sad, and Xiaomei's father and mother were also immersed in the pain of losing their daughter.

"When we found Lingnu's body in the mountains, we also put away this jade pendant because we had the intention of finding her family." Rong Zhou also looked at the old couple's sad expressions and was also a little sympathetic, and his voice was a few degrees softer.

Yun Luo was woken up by the sound of crying, stretched and sat cross-legged in the chair, tilting her neck to look at them: "What is this for?" ”

"The female corpse we saw last night, that is, that Xiaomei, was found at the foot of the mountain in the morning." Rong Zhou also walked over, poured him a glass of water and handed it to her.

Yun Luo took the water and took a sip, a little puzzled: "How is it possible, we didn't see the corpse when we went down the mountain." ”

"In other words, the body was dumped there after we left the foot of the mountain. But what's the point? Could it be that the corpses that appeared at the foot of the mountain were also deliberately thrown there? ”

Rong Zhou also twisted his eyebrows and pondered, this corpse appeared at the foot of the mountain not long after them, which means that someone followed closely and threw the corpse, but no one followed them along the way, how did the corpse move?

Yun Luo put the teacup aside, jumped down from the chair, and said, "Don't think about it, I know you're curious about the poison, and when Qingchuan comes back from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, won't everything fall into place?" As for other matters, leave them to the yamen to investigate. ”

"Heavenly Master's Mansion...... My daughter only became like this when she believed the words of the ghost heavenly master and entered the ritual room! They all said that it was a divine punishment, but I didn't believe it. If there really is a god, why don't you punish some people who have lost their conscience, but want to harm my daughter! ”

"Pity my daughter, who is in her prime of life, and is kind to people everywhere, why should she suffer such a sin. God has no eyes, God has no eyes! ”

Xiaomei's mother cried heartbreakingly, beating her chest. Whoever sees that look will be sad.

Yun Luo pursed her lips and stood aside and watched, and only after a long time did she speak slowly: "Xiaomei was poisoned, and it must have been after we escaped from the carriage." But is there any other reason why her body appeared on our way down the mountain? “

"Well, there must be something wrong with that mountain."

Looking at Rong Zhouye's serious and serious expression, and looking at the grief of the old couple's loss of their son, Yun Luo's eyes were slightly moved.
