Qingchuan caught a few butterflies and came back, and Yun Luo took them back to the house and tinkered with them for a while before saying that they could go.

When the four of them arrived at the foot of the forbidden mountain outside the city, they saw a few officials carrying something sneaky. After the officials had left, they followed to take a look.

"It's a mass grave." Rong Zhou also looked at a large pit at the bottom of the hillside, which was filled with piles of white bones and a few corpses that had just been thrown down.

"Well, isn't that the old woman in the morning? How did the yamen throw their corpses out? Yun Luo turned over a bottle from her body, sprinkled the powder inside, and then turned her head to hand the porcelain bottle to Qing Chuan, and took the lead in going down the pit.

Rong Zhouyi and Ye Qi didn't ask what it was when they took the porcelain vase, it must be useful anyway.

"Girl, where did you get so many bottles and cans of medicine?" Rong Zhou also stood next to Yun Luo, looking at the corpse with her.

"When I'm bored in the mountains, I make all kinds of medicinal powders to kill time." Yun Luo didn't turn her head back, and then stared at the corpse carefully, and said, "Although the corpse is aging, it is not aging very thoroughly. The cause of death should not be Yun Yangsan. ”

Yun Luo went to look at the male corpse again, turned her head a little and asked Qingchuan to support her, and said, "Go up." ”

Rong Zhou also responded and went up with Ye Qi, patted the dust on his body and listened to Yun Luo say: "They died of arsenic, as for why the corpse is aging, it should have something to do with Yun Yangsan." They had come into contact with Guo Yuanyuan's corpse, Guo's father's corpse was not very seriously aged, and judging from the state of death, it should be arsenic. ”

"Arsenic...... But Xiaomei's father and her fiancé must have also touched her body, why are their families okay? ”

Rong Zhou also stared at the corpse in the pit, puzzled.

"There must be something wrong with Guo Yuanyuan's body, Xiaomei's body was sent home, and the body that was originally in the Guo family is now missing." Yun Luo looked at the only three corpses that had just been thrown down below, and she didn't understand why she let the Guo family pick it up in the first place since there was a problem with her corpse?

"Now it is certain that Wujiang must have something to do with Zhang Tianshi in this matter." Rong Zhou also glanced around, and suddenly felt a little familiar: "Eh, did we go down the mountain that way to go down the mountain?" ”

Raising his hand, he pointed to a path that could be faintly seen on the hillside not far away, Yun Luo looked at it carefully, and said, "I don't remember, and are you sure it's the road?" ”

"Let's go check it out first, shall we?"

Rong Zhou also walked in the front and led the way to the top of the hillside, and when they looked back through the bushes, they found that they could not see the bottom below. This mass grave is a huge deep pit, surrounded by bushes, which is not easy for ordinary people to find.

"There's a way." Yun Luo looked at a small dirt road that was winding and winding, and scratched her head: "It looks a bit like the road that day." ”

Rong Zhou also glanced at her, and then walked out of the depths along the mountain road. After walking for about an hour, they reached the exit where they had gone out that day.

"There's another way here." Yun Luo glanced at her and pointed to the right, and suddenly the butterfly that hung on her body and buried the firefly Gu began to move. She immediately followed and said, "There's a firefly around here." “

The other three people also hurried over, and they passed through the overgrown hillside, and Yunluo climbed to another mountain road and said in astonishment, "This is where I jumped the carriage that day." ”

Rong Zhou also stood beside her, looking back at the small hill she had climbed, this should be the place where she kicked herself down.

"We just seemed to have walked around that mass grave, and if it was a circle underneath, then we must have missed the exit several times that night and kept going around the mountains. The reason we couldn't get in in the morning was because we were looking the wrong way. ”

Ye Qi answered on the side and said, "Master, it is not this road that we came in the morning, this road is farther away from the city gate than the one we took before. Rong Zhou also nodded slightly, this mountain is really strange, even during the day, it is not easy to detect those paths.

Seeing that the butterfly had been flying around one part of the mountain, Yunluo whistled twice to stop it.

"It's been circling around here, could it be that there is a secret passage in this place or something?"

Ye Qi glanced at the butterfly and said, "Shouldn't there be something wrong with your Gu?" Can there be a secret passage in this place, could it be that they have hollowed out the mountain? ”

Rong Zhou also raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "Okay, smart enough." ”

After saying that, he started to touch the mountain wall, and Yun Luo kept standing beside him, and pointed to a place for a moment and said, "You go there to look for it, I remember that the carriage was facing this direction at that time." ”

Rong Zhou also rummaged carefully everywhere according to the place she pointed, and was looking for a hand that accidentally touched a stone that was not obvious, and a door suddenly opened in front of him.

"Wow, there's a mechanism like this." Yun Luo was about to rush in with a step, but Qing Chuan quickly grabbed her collar: "I'm first." ”

Qingchuan walked in first, and Yunluo Rongzhou followed closely behind, after the seventh break of the night.

The passage was indeed built in the middle of the mountain wall, and it was wide enough for two carriages to walk side by side in it, with oil lamps on either side.

"This lamp is very rare, there is no one in the capital." Ye Qi looked at the oil lamp and became interested, and Qingchuan Liang picked up a sentence: "This is the ever-bright lamp, a wick made of human corpse oil, which is said to be inextinguishable for thousands of years." ”

Ye Qi originally wanted to reach out and touch it, but when he heard this, he instantly retracted his hand: "So disgusting?" ”

However, according to records, the lantern has only been on for 20 years at most. And it uses corpse oil extracted from whales. Yun Luo explained, Ye Qi was a little surprised-obedient, Miss Yun even understands this?

Qingchuan rolled his eyes at him - the young lady had read these ancient histories on the mountain, and she knew a lot more than others.

After about two teas, they came to the end.

Yun Luo also wanted to try the feeling of pressing the mechanism, so she just touched the wall. Rong Zhouyi suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "I heard some sounds. ”

"What sound?" Everyone held their breath, and Rong Zhou also concentrated his mind and pressed his ears slightly against the stone wall.

"There are people out there, many people. There was also a very dull clanging sound, a lot of noise, but it sounded like there was a project in it. ”

Rong Zhou also took her hand and took two steps back, for fear that this little girl would accidentally touch the mechanism, causing them to startle the snake.

Qingchuan had been staring at Rong Zhouyi's hand unkindly, and Ye Qi cut it and said, "When you are away, your young lady is carried by our master, isn't it just to pull your hand, what does it matter?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Qingchuan wanted to pinch them to death even more. And Rong Zhou also let go of his hand in embarrassment, coughed lightly twice, and changed the topic: "Do you want to leave a mark here or something, in short, you can't go in today for the time being." We need to go back and think long-term and plan for everything. ”

Yun Luo nodded, turned around and walked back: "It's okay to make a mark at the entrance, and the secret passage here won't be lost." ”

"Uh-huh, okay." Rong Zhou also nodded indiscriminately, and the tips of his slightly red ears could be faintly seen in the dim light.

They went out of the secret passage and went out along the mountain path, but in a quarter of an hour they went deep into the mountain, and by this time it was already dawn.

In this way, it seems to explain why Xiaomei's body appeared in front of us that day and was finally thrown to the bottom of the mountain. It's just a little unclear why he killed Xiaomei and why he threw her body twice. ”

Rong Zhou also figured out why the corpse moved several times, and they didn't know, but they couldn't figure out the reason for the corpse to move.

"Could it be that Xiaomei knows something and kills people? But in this case, it would be good to just throw the body into a mass grave, why throw it at the foot of the mountain? Yunluo scratched her hair, but she couldn't figure it out.

Rong Zhou also frowned tightly, and he still had no clue until he entered the city.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat first." Yun Luo rubbed his stomach and flattened his mouth, and then he came back to his senses and smiled: "Okay." ”

Because almost the entire people in Luling were a little afraid of Yunluo, the four of them had to find a small restaurant that seemed to have a small number of people to make do with a meal.

"Little second brother, just serve a few good dishes." Yun Luo shouted crisply, Xiao Er answered and went to the back kitchen, and came over with bowls, chopsticks and wine in a moment.

"Wait a minute, the meal has already been cooked." Xiao Er wiped the table and smiled kindly when he saw Yun Luo.

Yun Luo was a little surprised, it was rare for someone in this place to look at her like this, so she asked, "You're not afraid of me?" ”

"Look at what the girl said, we don't know each other, and I haven't offended you, what are you afraid of?" The little second brother said this with a smile, and then said: "But I have also heard a little about the girl, I don't believe in those ghosts and gods, but it is a little strange." In the past month or so, the girl has been the only one who has entered the ritual room without his name. ”

Rong Zhou was also stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"Before this, the Heavenly Master used to call his name every time to enter the worship room, otherwise how could those people think that he was a god, and he could call his name without knowing him."

The back kitchen shouted, and the little second brother was busy serving the food.

"Why is that?" Yun Luo also fell into deep thought, Rong Zhou also took a sip of tea, and said, "It's not clear for the time being, and it's not clear why you were selected temporarily." But just now, Xiao Er's words reminded me that those people were instigated, and they were scared back by you when they couldn't arrest you, so they were afraid of you. ”

"But why was it incited? Because you 'escaped' and will anger the gods, Xiaomei's death just puts this hat on you. Guo Yuanyuan's death made the people believe that because of you, there will be a disaster. So they panicked and wanted to eradicate this curse......"

"In other words, from the very beginning, someone wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone and kill you."

Rong Zhou also looked at the girl who had been dizzy, couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Because you escaped, if you think about the position we escaped from, they will definitely worry about what we will find again." So kill you and prevent you from telling the secret they think you know. ”

"But you also escaped from there, so why didn't I kill you?" Yun Luo asked inexplicably, he touched his nose and said, "You forgot that on the day we escaped, in order to avoid the government's investigation, let Ye Qi report his identity." They knew that if I knew anything, they would have sent troops into the mountains long ago. ”

Yun Luo was still a little dizzy, but she understood a little: "Yes, send troops into the mountain!" ”

"There is no barracks near Luling, only a division of soldiers and horses to defend the city, and I have no real power to mobilize soldiers and horses, this is not far from the capital, I will write a letter back, and let them send people in eight hundred miles."

"Well, if it really doesn't work, we'll go to Longhu Mountain to borrow people, and if we can't borrow it, we'll rob people."

Rong Zhou also smiled dotingly, this girl is really funny.
