Chapter 131: The Lion Garden Murder
The night wind was cold and the treetops moved slightly, and the air flow mixed with small snowflakes faintly emitted a black mist, falling into a strange appearance that could not be seen in the eyes of ordinary people.
"The wind of Chishui still blows into the castle of Thorn Tree......"
Looking at a small snowflake that fell on the palm of his unfolded hand, Master Wu Leiting groaned in a low voice.
What should come always comes, and what should be faced still has to be faced.
Wu Luoyang took a breath lightly, but he had the meaning of accepting it calmly, and then thought of a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Master, the apprentice has a question for you."
"Hmm."
Hearing Wu Luoyang's voice, Master Wu Leiting withdrew his hand and pinned it behind him, turned around and faced Wu Luoyang to signal her to continue speaking.
Wu Luoyang's eyes turned slightly, staring at the deep darkness in the sky above Chishui Town.
These few times to subdue Xingsha were all helped by Zhan Yunye, and they were able to proceed smoothly, but after all, he was the ghost she personally sealed thousands of years ago.
Zhan Yunye can stand in the ancient tomb for thousands of years and cultivate into a ghost god, there must be unknown means, and the tree god praying is probably just one of the ways he puts it on the surface with the world.
What Wu Luoyang knew, in addition to Zhan Yunye's prayer for the tree god to be knotted up and down in the world, the hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers in his hands, the Chenghuang and the King of the Underworld, were all afraid of three points, but if you think about it at a deeper level, it seems that you should consider that the Infinite Abyss and the Dark Demon Lord are under the ancient tomb.
If Zhan Yunye and the Dark Demon Lord really have a cooperative relationship, then why does he try his best to help every time he subdues Xingsha?
Could it really be as Zhan Yunye said, helping her gather the Twelve Star Souls was to open the seal and rescue the reincarnation of the hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers sealed in the ancient tomb.
Isn't Zhan Yunye afraid of offending the Dark Demon Lord?
You must know that the knots on those starcasts are the breath of the infinite abyss, and it is clear that those starcasters are the minions of the Dark Lord that the Dark Lord has cast into the human world.
"Zhan Yunye, I'...... Can you believe it? ”
When Wu Luoyang asked this sentence, his eyes were a little confused.
If it is said that the ancient tomb has nothing to do with the Boundless Abyss, Wu Luoyang himself does not believe it, but it is impossible to say whether there is cooperation between Zhan Yunye and the Dark Demon Lord.
Looking at the changing stars and the deep dark sky, Master Wu Leiting stretched out his hand to stroke his white beard, and his calm face was kind: "Can you completely trust a person?" Of course. But this person is always yourself. ”
"Myself?"
Wu Luoyang's face showed a little surprise.
After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me that it was irrational to believe in others completely.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose and the curtains ushered in the first rays of sunlight, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Wu Luoyang, give you three seconds!"
Senior sister Wu Baiyun's cry came through the door panel, Wu Luoyang raised his head, annoyed, reached out and pulled up the quilt and covered his head.
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it has passed the busiest days of visiting relatives and friends.
After three seconds, there was no movement in the room.
The white door was pushed open, and the sound of hurried footsteps spread from the doorway to the bedside.
In the next second, the quilt covered by Wu Luoyang took off.
When the quilt fell on the bed again, Senior Sister Wu Baiyun had already turned it into a tofu cube with Zhou Ping, neat, angular edges, and edges like a knife.
"Sister......
Wu Luoyang was sleepy-eyed with her messy long hair, but Wu Baiyun told her a news of starting work to make money.
"Dean Xu Xing is waiting downstairs."
"Isn't it? Start work on the fifth day of the new year? ”
"Dean Xu Xing said that each person who works today will have a red envelope of 5,000 yuan."
"Hand me the clothes."
Wu Luoyang got up and dressed and freshened up, and a second of delay was disrespectful to the 5,000 yuan red envelope.
Pack up and follow Senior Sister Wu Baiyun downstairs.
After meeting President Xu Xing, Wu Luoyang learned that the city had received an application from the Wen family to start the project, and the date for arranging the archaeological team to visit the tomb of the old general had been advanced.
"Luoyang, wait for breakfast, and you will go with my car."
Dean Xu Xing spoke.
Wu Luoyang nodded and agreed.
After breakfast, Wu Luoyang packed some guys and took his crossbody bag, and then followed Dean Xu Xing's car to the tomb of the old general in Mibao Lake.
Wu Luoyang asked a few more questions in the car, and Dean Xu Xing also replied a few more words.
After some small talk, Wu Luoyang learned that the city did not want to seal the tomb of the old general under the Baohu Lake, but with the consent of the descendants of the Du family and for the protection of cultural relics, the archaeological team excavated the tomb of the old general of the Du family's ancestral tomb, and in the future, the general's shrine would be built on the original mausoleum and open to tourists.
In other words, the accident between Wen Qiqi and Song Li at the project kick-off meeting has attracted the attention of the city, and President Xu Xing is specially asked to lead a team to deal with it in the name of archaeology.
When the car arrived at Mibao Lake, there were already archaeological team members waiting at the scene.
These people are all members of the archaeological team who participated in the excavation of the ancient tombs in Chishui Town, and everyone is familiar with each other, Wu Luoyang got out of the car and followed behind Dean Xu Xing.
Don't look at her youngest, she is still a little girl who is powerless, the last time she opened the coffin of the thousand-year-old god of war with a bronze short sword in Chishui Town, everyone can see that she has two hits.
Also present were people from the Du family, Du Hongyuan and Du Surui were also there, and they also brought a few people from the Maoshan faction, all of whom were wearing black robes and acting rigorously.
Last time, Du Surui and Wu Fengxing entered the tomb from the Shengmen, and he quickly led everyone to the cave behind the mountain that was covered by dry grass, pushed away the large round stone block that blocked the entrance, and bent down and raised the fire fold in his hand to enter first.
Immediately behind Du Surui was Wu Luoyang, who was also holding a fire fold, and the black mud and sand under his feet were still the same fishy smell, but he couldn't feel the yin qi anymore.
It seems that after the giant turtle was defeated and cremated last time, the Yin Qi accumulated in the tomb of the old general's soul from the bitter sea was also completely removed.
And they went down into the tomb.
I was shocked by the scene in my eyes.
The giant tortoise was tied with a black iron chain, but fortunately, it was out of breath, and I don't know who reached out and touched it lightly, and the turtle shell was as brittle as an eggshell, and it instantly collapsed to reveal a pair of white bones in the abdomen.
Du Hongyuan made a salute, ordered someone to bring the urn and respectfully put the old general's bones back into the burial.
As for the cause of the giant tortoise's death, everyone speculated that it was trapped in the tomb for a long time without food, starvation, or death from disease, etc., Wu Luoyang looked around silently and did not participate in this kind of topic.
At some point, Du Su Rui came to his side with a fire fold.
He leaned over and whispered, "My master knows that the giant turtle Chengjing ate the bones of my grandfather, and he doesn't blame you. ”
Hearing this, Wu Luoyang glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
Thinking of the skull cave he encountered last time, Wu Luoyang walked into the path on the side, and Du Surui saw this, holding a fire fold and walking behind her.
The two went around in circles.
Secretly observing the reaction of the ghost mark in the palm of his hand, and did not feel the yin qi nearby, Wu Luoyang was completely relieved at this time, and took Du Surui back to the main tomb from the path.
Dean Xu Xing was still waiting over there.
Wu Luoyang walked over and nodded slightly with him: "No problem." ”
With her three words, Dean Xu Xing was also relieved, handed over the scene to the deputy team of the archaeological team for processing, and then left with Wu Luoyang and Du Surui first.
It was already noon when I returned to Xuanyi Hall.
Dean Xu Xing had other things to do, so he sent people to the door, greeted Wu Leiting, and left first.
When Wu Luoyang entered the house, he didn't see his senior brother Wu Fengxing and his senior sister Wu Baiyun, so he asked casually.
"What about the two of them?"
Master Wu Leiting walked into the side hall, sat down behind the long desk, and took a book of scriptures in his hand to read: "One has returned to Song's house, and the other has returned to the police force." ”
Speaking of this, Master Wu Leiting suddenly raised his head, looked at Wu Luoyang who walked in from the door, and his tone became serious: "By the way, your senior sister went back to the police team because someone called the police and found a broken corpse in the rockery cave in the lion breeding area of the wildlife park in Shishi Town. ”
Such a coincidence!!
Wu Luoyang was surprised.
