Chapter 30: The Nameless Corpse
It was a corpse, the body of a man.
The corpse was naked from top to bottom, with its hair spread freely. And at first glance, he died for too long, because the skin of the corpse had dried up, as if it had become a dried corpse.
Judging from the appearance of the corpse, this should be a young man, younger than Beihe.
Now the corpse's hollow mouth was open and its eye sockets were deeply sunken, and it looked a little terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Beihe's pupils suddenly contracted.
He never imagined that in Lu Hou's room, there would be a corpse. Moreover, this corpse was clearly placed here by Lu Hou.
can be deliberately hidden by Lu Hou, it seems that this corpse is not small.
After seeing this corpse, Beihe's eyes immediately fell on the wooden cabinet on the side of the bed. He guessed that the robe in the wooden cabinet that could not be torn was related to the cloth bag, and perhaps to the corpse in front of him.
With this thought in his heart, Beihe squatted down and carefully observed the corpse.
He is the best work in the Arashiyama Sect except for his master. Maybe he could find some clues from the corpse and deduce some conclusions.
I saw him from head to toe, carefully scanning the corpse. Not only that, but he set the candle aside, turned the body over, and looked at the back.
Eventually, he restored the corpse, and a deep groan appeared in his eyes.
On the surface, the body did not suffer any injuries, so it is difficult to determine the cause of death.
He has followed Lu Hou for many years, and it can be said that over the years, in addition to sleeping, he has been inseparable from Lu Hou.
It's just that in all these years, he has never seen Lu Hou bring back a corpse and hide it in the living room, and Mo Du has never mentioned it to him.
Taking a step back, even if Lu Hou quietly brought back the corpse, it was impossible for him not to know if he had to quietly create a secret grid and set up a mechanism to hide the corpse.
Therefore, this corpse should have been hidden here by Lu Hou before he was with Lu Hou.
Thirteen years ago, he was fished up by Lu Hou in a river called Beihe. In other words, this corpse was hidden here by Lu Hou at least thirteen years ago.
In thirteen years, if it was a dry place like the desert, it would be fine, but a corpse might turn into a dry corpse.
Not only the attic he was in, but even the entire Lanshan Sect had an extremely humid climate, especially underground. In this case, the corpse has been hidden for more than ten years, and it should have rotted into a white bone a long time ago.
But the corpse in front of him has turned into a dried corpse, and there is no sign of decomposition. Even when Beihe touched the corpse just now, there was a soft feeling, obviously the flesh and blood under the skin still existed, and maintained a certain toughness. That's a little weird.
Surprised, Beihe examined the corpse for a long time, and finally he turned the mechanism to return the slate to its place.
He didn't find what he was looking for in Lu Hou's room, but he found tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, a corpse, and an indestructible robe, plus a cloth bag that could not be opened.
These strange things made him curious, and he also had a sense of rapid heartbeat for the unknown.
After a long time, Beihe suppressed the shock in his heart, and did not plan to touch these strange things for the time being.
After scanning the room again, and finding nothing of note, he left Lu Hou's room with the candle in his hand.
......
Time flies for half a year.
One day half a year later, Beihe left the Arashiyama Sect alone.
The sect master's wife passed away more than five months ago, so the sect leader Jiang Muyuan also specially held a funeral for his wife.
All the elders and disciples of the entire Arashiyama Sect participated.
This funeral is called a happy funeral. Because the wife of the sect master is just an ordinary woman, but she lived to be ninety-eight years old, and she can be called the end of her life.
This funeral, which lasted for three days, was also attended by Beihe, but with his low-key style, it can be said that there were no people who noticed him.
In the past half a year, he had almost nothing else to do except cultivation and cultivation.
And in the past six months, it has completely diluted his sadness of losing his master and brother, and made him fully accept the reality.
As for the reason why he will go out this time, there are two main things to do.
First, Lu Hou was his master, and he stayed by his side after bringing him back, not only did not let him starve and freeze, but also taught him kung fu. No matter how cold-blooded this master is, he also has the grace of recreation.
In Beihe's opinion, Miss Yanyin is the only person who can get close to Lu Hou alive, so this girl should be regarded as Lu Hou's partner. Now that Lu Hou is dead, it is absolutely necessary for him to inform the other party of this news.
Second, the one in the cave promised to cast a weapon for him, but now more than half a year has passed, and the weapon should have been cast, and it is time to get it back.
He just lacks a divine weapon in his hand, and he has a weapon in his hand, which will greatly increase his strength compared to his bare hands.
Beihe, like Lu Hou, did not choose to ride a horse, but walked.
In addition to the fact that he has plenty of time, the main thing is that it is safer to walk.
Since Lu Hou's death, he has a clearer understanding of Lu Hou's original teaching of them to be cautious in everything.
And this time when he went out, in addition to bringing enough silver taels, Beihe also brought the gray cloth package. Lu Hou valued this object so much that even if he couldn't open the jade box, he planned to carry it with him.
A month later, Beihe stepped into the easternmost city of Fengguo, Liangcheng.
It can be said that the Liangcheng of Fengguo is the most chaotic city that Beihe has ever seen, with a mixture of dragons and snakes, and it is messy. And it is precisely because of the chaos in Liangcheng that this city is so lively.
Walking on the streets of Liangcheng, the scene of the busy traffic in the past is still the same.
Although he has suffered a major change, except for him, everything in the whole world seems to be going on as usual.
Beihe walked towards Chunxiang Pavilion with a familiar car, and soon came to the front of this three-story attic.
Seeing the endless stream of people coming in and out of Chunxiang Pavilion, after a little groaning, Beihe stepped into it.
On the first floor of Chunxiang Pavilion, it is full of people and extremely lively. Beihe randomly found a corner and sat down, ordered a lot of food according to his custom, and began to eat as if no one was around.
While eating, he listened to the conversation of the diners around him.
In particular, I want to hear if there is any news about the Seven Princes.
However, until he had eaten and drunk, he didn't hear anything he wanted to know, so he got up and walked towards the second floor of Chunxiang Pavilion.
Walking up to the second floor, a group of warblers and warblers either raised their eyebrows and made eyes, or hid their faces shyly, constantly teasing him.
Thinking back to the time when Lu Hou was there, these dusty women didn't dare to do this. Now that he had come alone, the women treated him as a regular guest and wanted to make a deal.
Just when Beihe didn't squint at the teasing of these dusty women, suddenly his heart jumped and his vigilance rose.
Because he suddenly found that these warblers and Yanyan were all unfamiliar faces, and they were not a group of people like those women on the second floor of Chunxiang Pavilion.
Bei He secretly screamed in his heart, and then Huo Ran turned around and was about to leave quickly the way he came.
It's just that as soon as he turned around, he stopped in his footsteps. At the top of the staircase in front of him, two large men blocked the way, and looked at him with expressionless faces.
Seeing that Beihe turned around and wanted to leave, one of the two looked at him and stretched out his hand, and said, "Please, Miss Yanyin wants to see you." ”
Hearing his words, Bei He frowned slightly, and the word "Chuan" appeared, and finally he turned around and continued to walk towards the third floor.
Coming to the third floor of the hollow design of Chunxiang Pavilion, he looked at the boudoir with the door of Miss Yanyin's room closed, and continued to walk forward, and came to the door to stand still.
Turning sideways slightly, he saw that the two big men just now were standing at the top of the stairs on the third floor, and their eyes always fell on him.
Seeing this, Beihe turned around, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
"Tuk Tuk!"
But three knocks were heard.
"Come in. ”
In the next breath, a soft female voice came from the room.
Beihe took a breath, pushed open the door and stepped inside.
What catches the eye is a screen with several vivid peacocks painted on it.
Beihe faintly looked through the screen and saw a shadow sitting upright.
After wrapping around the back screen, he saw the appearance of the shadow clearly.
It was a woman who looked to be in her thirties, and this woman was extremely beautiful, not much better than Leng Wanwan and Jiang Qing.
Her hair was pulled up high, compared to the two beauties of the Lanshan Sect, the woman in front of her had a touch of mature charm in her gestures, which was far beyond the reach of the two young girls.
But the fly in the ointment is that the face of the woman in front of her is extremely haggard, and there are even bloodshot eyes.
Although I have never seen it, I want to come to Beihe in front of this person, it should be Miss Yanyin.
When Beihe looked at this woman, this woman was also looking at him. For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere seemed quiet.
It wasn't until a long time later that Beihe was the first to break the silence.
"Dare to ask if it's Miss Yanyin. ”
Hearing this, the woman in front of him said, "I am." After that, the woman continued to speak, "You are Beihe." ”
Beihe was a little surprised that this woman could recognize him, so he listened to him: "I am the eldest disciple of Lu Hou, Beihe." ”
Miss Yan Yin looked at him with great complexity, especially when she heard the word "Lu Hou", she seemed to be deeply touched.
"Lu Hou is dead, what are you doing here. "Just listen to this woman.
Beihe didn't expect that Miss Yanyin had already known the news of Lu Hou's death, but he still said, "The master has passed away, and I came to inform Miss Yanyin on purpose." ”
"Notify me......" Yan Yin muttered. Then the conversation changed, "Now that the Seven Princes are looking for the origin of your master and apprentice everywhere, I have beheaded all the girls in Chunxiang Pavilion and replaced them with a new batch, for fear that these girls will leak some news." You don't hide it well, and you dare to come to Fengguo, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. ”
"Huh?" Bei He's expression was extremely solemn.
Looking at his expression, Miss Yanyin was a little surprised, it seemed that Beihe didn't know that the Seven Princes were looking for the origin of his master and apprentice.
Then she raised her chin at a picture scroll on the table, "See for yourself." ”
Hearing this, Beihe immediately stepped forward and picked up the picture scroll on the table.
I saw that on the scroll was the portrait of his master and apprentice, and there was a line of text below, indicating that those who can provide information about the three people will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and those who can accurately find the origin and origin of the three will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold.
Seeing this scene, Bei He frowned, it seemed that the Seventh Prince had killed Lu Hou and refused to give up, as if he wanted to connect the nine clans. No wonder Miss Yan Yin beheaded all the girls on the second floor of Chunxiang Pavilion, these women have seen many times that the three of his master and apprentice have come and gone here, and if they want to protect themselves, they can only kill these people.
It can be seen that this Yanyin girl is also a ruthless character, and her identity and methods are not simple, otherwise she would not have been able to find out the details of those people on the virtual realm list for Lu Hou at the beginning.
Just when he thought of this, he heard Miss Yanyin say:
"I know what you mean by coming, you have a heart, Lu Hou didn't accept you as a disciple in vain. In addition, although it was half a year ago, the rumors have almost passed, but now you better go back, and it is better not to come to Fengguo in the future. ”
After speaking, the woman slowly stood up, turned and walked towards the couch covered by the light curtains.
And at the moment when the woman got up, Beihe's eyes fell on her stomach.
Miss Yanyin is pregnant......
