Chapter 69: Restoring the Truth (Part 3)

"I heard the abbot say that this woman died in the mountains, and the reason why she turned into resentment should be because she felt abandoned by her husband." Lu Wanqiu said.

She has inquired about a lot of news about the Lantern Girl, so she also has her own set of understandings.

Zhao Huai shook his head: "That's not the case, I talked to her, although she got lost in the mountains, she didn't die in the mountains." ”

"I want to hear about it." Lu Wanqiu said helplessly, from the elimination of the Lantern Girl alone, Zhao Huai was already stronger than her, and the other party knew obviously more.

So Zhao Huai said slowly:

"After everyone walked out of the mountains, and after finding the state, they unexpectedly found the former scholar, but the former lover has become famous, changed his skin, and has become a hot character.

But she did not come back to her, for this she was heartbroken, very sad, she felt that the scholar had forgotten the original oath, so she wanted to come to the door to ask for an explanation, but was thrown out, and the door could not enter. ”

"So the scholar killed her in order to keep his mouth shut?" Lu Wanqiu said suddenly.

"I thought so at first, but do you think, if he was killed by a scholar, would this woman still go to such great lengths to find him?"

Lu Wanqiu nodded, she really felt very contradictory.

The lantern girl has been looking for Xianggong, which means that her hatred is not in Xianggong.

"So there must be a twist, and this twist is that the scholar didn't betray the lantern girl at all." Zhao Huai said solemnly.

The scholar won the first place in the imperial examination and was recognized, and many family affairs followed, but he was bent on his wife and did not agree, but he did not refuse.

Because he knows that once he refuses, he will never want to mix in the officialdom in the future, and the so-called fame he has obtained is Nan Ke's dream.

Under the restraint of many parties, scholars naturally can't find their wives in the first place, and if they find out that they have married, the result will be the same.

But the woman didn't know, she felt that Xianggong had betrayed her, and this hatred became stronger and stronger, and hatred was born out of love.

The deeper you love, the deeper you hate.

She infiltrated the scholar's mansion and killed him.

Hearing this, Lu Wanqiu questioned: "Not to mention how the woman entered the place where the scholar lived, it is a little incredible to say that a weak woman, who has no power to restrain the chicken, can actually kill someone." ”

Zhao Huai smiled faintly: "You underestimate the action power of hatred, even if you sell yourself, it is extremely simple to infiltrate as a servant, as for whether she killed anyone, I think the coffin in the wooden house can explain and prove." ”

"Coffin?"

"That's right, I saw a coffin under the bed of the wooden house where the Lantern Girl lived, and this coffin could not contain her own, it must be the corpse of a scholar."

Lu Wanqiu was still puzzled: "Since you have a vendetta, why do you want to prepare a coffin?" ”

Zhao Huai's expression was extremely serious.

"Because she found out everything the scholar did, maybe because of the diary, maybe through inquiry."

"She killed the wrong person."

"So she went crazy."

After the woman killed the scholar, she regretted it very much, but the person was dead, what could she do, she could only throw the body into the wild.

The deeds of the scholar began to circulate in the state and county, saying that he had been kept closed, but he was very low-key when he became an official, and many people were very puzzled.

In the end, the confidant housekeeper in the mansion said the key, in fact, he also has a beloved wife, so he has always refused to marry a wife, so he has been dragging it out, refusing to see those wealthy families.

When the woman learned the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and countless regrets flashed through her heart, and she went to the place where the body was dumped overnight to find Xianggong's body.

But the scholar's corpse had been gnawed by rats, and his whole body was full of holes.

The woman was discouraged, hated herself, and couldn't accept the fact that she had killed the person she loved the most, to the point of paranoia.

So she went crazy, and she put the scholar's body in a coffin and put it under the bed.

In this way, I can always be with the scholars.

She hated herself, hated it to the extreme, and finally committed suicide in front of the coffin.

This hatred made her an evil spirit.

After becoming an evil woman, the crazy woman chose to forget the fact that she had killed someone, and fell into the grief of losing her husband.

That's why, the Lantern Girl comes in two forms.

One is red and the other is white.

Red represents painful memories, while white represents normal, good memories.

After listening to Zhao Huai's explanation, Lu Wanqiu was stunned.

"It was the Lantern Girl who killed her father-in-law and then committed suicide, and the person she hated was herself?"

"That's right."

Zhao Huai nodded.

There may be discrepancies in the details, but the idea is certainly not wrong.

"This woman is so pathetic."

Lu Wanqiu's gaze couldn't help but reveal sympathy.

Zhao Huai pondered: "Actually, I still have a doubt that has not been solved. ”

"What?"

Lu Wanqiu only felt that her scalp was numb at this time, because this story sounded really terrifying.

Of course, the man in front of him is even more terrifying, not only can he think of a way to kill the Lantern Girl, but he also introduces the truth.

"That is, where is the husband of the Lantern Girl?"

"It must have turned to ashes, it's been hundreds of years." Lu Wanqiu said as a matter of course.

Zhao Huai shook his head again.

He clenched the skull in his hand, knowing in his heart that this bone must be Liu Lang's, not the Lantern Girl's.

Rain cold incense soul hanging grave guest.

The word "hanging" in this hexagram is very quintessential.

The Lantern Girl hung Liu Lang, so he must have been brought to the present by the Lantern Girl by some means.

Otherwise, where did this bone in his hand come from?

"Since she is still looking for it, it means that Liu Lang still exists, whether it is a corpse or a cemetery."

Lu Wanqiu was puzzled: "But she's already dead, shouldn't it be over?" ”

"It shouldn't be that simple."

"Come with me."

Zhao Huai's long sword was placed and stepped on the sword.

"Where are you going?"

"The Graveyard of the Lantern Girl."

...

The two walked side by side, and soon came to the vicinity of the stream in the dream.

"Here it is..."

Lu Wanqiu obviously recognized this place as well.

Zhao Huai's footsteps were extremely fast, and he quickly found the location of the wooden house.

There is nothing but vegetation and no other than that.

He used the true yuan on his body and punched it out with one palm.

"Bang!" With a bang, a huge crater appeared in front of him.

Zhao Huai squinted his eyes, and the skull in his hand glowed red.

Slowly fall into the pit.

"That's exactly what happened."

Zhao Huai was stunned and suddenly realized.

"What, what?" Lu Wanqiu felt like a three-year-old child, and could only follow Zhao Huai.

"Do you know where Liu Lang is?" Zhao Huai smiled slightly.

"Where?"

"Liu Lang has actually been by the Lantern Girl's side all along, but she doesn't know it, and we have been ignoring it."

Lu Wanqiu frowned, tilted her head and said, "It's impossible, she doesn't have anything on her." ”

Zhao Huai pointed to the slowly floating red light, and said lightly:

"That lantern is her father-in-law."

...

ps: In the new year, add a more, it may be a little slower, sorry.
