Chapter 204: The Truth Emerges
After about a quarter of an hour, Shi Xingjian crossed the tombstones and walked to the grave where Lu Ming was.
"I don't know which girl is so fortunate to be able to marry you as a lady in the future. If I were a girl, I would be a stalker, and I would marry you!"
It was a joke, but it caused Shi Xingjian to blush for a while, and the faint candle flame was particularly eye-catching.
Lu Ming laughed, I haven't thought about marrying someone yet. You went to the tomb first, but what did you find?"
He took his joke past him and asked about business.
"Yes, I've seen it just now, and this Wu Mingtai's tombstone looks much cleaner than the others.
And, you see, the flower in front of the tombstone has withered, but it is clear that it was placed here not long ago.
Therefore, there must be someone who often comes to visit Wu Mingtai. If the head of the Wu family had already left Nanming, who would come to see him?"
Shi Xingjian stared thoughtfully at Wu Mingtai's tombstone.
"The Wu family has long been dismissed, and this Wu Mingtai has always had a bad style, so naturally it will not be the Wu family's people who come here to visit. The only possibility is that Wu Xun is alone!"
However, if the murderer of the Zheng family is Wu Mingtai, the body will definitely not be in the tomb. Then why did Wu Xun come to visit again? Should we dig it up and take a look?"
Lu Ming was also a little unclear about this, so he asked for the opinion of Shi Xingjian.
Shi Xingjian turned his head to look at the Liu family's tomb next to Wu Mingtai's tomb and frowned deeply.
Although the tomb of the Liu family is still quite clean, it is still slightly dirty compared to Wu Mingtai's tomb.
This Wu Xun came to visit Wu Mingtai, and there was no reason not to take care of his wife's grave.
After pondering for a moment, Shi Xingjian said: "Dig the grave of the Liu family!"
Although Lu Ming didn't understand why, he still carried a shovel and started to act.
It seems that he is used to doing work in the past, and digging pits is not a problem.
In less than an hour, Lu Ming dug up Liu's grave, and the pitch-black coffin looked eerie under the faint light emitted by the lantern.
Shi Xingjian had abundant spiritual energy at his fingertips, and took out the nails that were nailed to the coffin.
"Open the coffin!"
Lu Ming heard his greeting, pushed the lid of the coffin with both hands, and the heavy 'squeak' sound made people tremble even more in the silent mountain forest.
The lid of the coffin was pushed halfway, and Shi Xingjian lifted the lantern on the ground and shone on the top of the coffin.
The faint candlelight filled the coffin, and the coffin was empty.
"Empty?"
Lu Ming was ready, and after the coffin was opened, he was ready to see a decomposing corpse. However, the empty coffin startled him.
The corners of Shi Xingjian's lips were hooked, and his face showed a look that was really like this.
This Wu Xun's wife and children are buried together, how can Wu Xun only take care of Wu Mingtai's grave alone, and abandon his wife's grave!
Moreover, this Wu Mingtai is just a corpse, and it is impossible to turn into a ghost to seek revenge on the Zheng family.
Since the day the Zheng family returned, he had consulted many scrolls. I know that there is a corpse art in this world, which can refine the dead into a puppet, and then refute it to act.
Moreover, in this kind of evil art, the female corpse has stronger attack power than the male corpse.
Therefore, it was not Wu Mingtai who destroyed the Zheng family that night, but Wu Xun's wife Liu!
"Didn't you say that Wu Xun's wife died of illness less than a month after Wu Mingtai's death? Why is the coffin empty, but what about Liu's body?"
"Let's bury the tomb first, let's go back to the inn!"
When Lu Ming heard the sound, he closed the half-open coffin lid, and then covered the coffin with a shovel to rebury Liu's tomb.
When everything was done, the two of them rushed to the town with lanterns.
Lu Ming's shovel rubbed against the ground again, and the sound of 'rattling bells' sounded.
Shi Xingjian shook his head helplessly, and let him be.
It was the end of the day when I returned to the Ping An Inn.
Lu Ming did not go back to the room, but went to the room of the World Star Stream.
"Does Xingjian know the answer to the matter? Then Liu's coffin is empty, is it not dead at all?"
There was a deep curiosity in his words, and he wanted to know the truth of the matter urgently.
"I didn't expect Lu Ming to be so interested in such a strange thing!"
Lu Ming raised his hand and scratched his head, with some embarrassment on his face.
"When I was a kid, I loved listening to my grandmother's weird stories, and even though it sounded a little scary, I couldn't help but want to keep listening!"
Shi Xingjian is no stranger to his mentality, because when he was young, he also pestered his master to tell him stories.
Whenever I heard something scared, I would get under his white wide sleeves, and then poke out a head and ask Master with curious eyes, 'And then?'
Looking at Lu Ming's curious appearance now, it reminded him of many past events.
"The Liu clan is dead, but the corpse should be used to refine it into a puppet.
When Wu Mingtai died, I knew that it was impossible to turn into a murderous corpse to seek revenge on the Zheng family.
Moreover, the attack power of this evil female corpse is even stronger!"
Hearing him say that there was such an evil art in the world, Lu Ming felt a chill in his heart.
"It's the first time I've heard of a green-faced and fanged zombie in my grandmother's story, but I've never heard of it!"
Shi Xingjian chuckled.
"This zombie is a person who dies, and the corpse has not decomposed for a long time, and it is born from the resentment and bad luck of heaven and earth. Immortal, immortal, immortal, and immortal, abandoned by the three worlds of heaven, earth and man, outside the six realms of sentient beings. In the world, resentment is the strength and blood is the food.
And this kind of corpse magic is to soak the corpse in a special poisonous water or Gu water shortly after death, in order to achieve the effect of invulnerability and strong attack power. ”
Lu Ming listened with relish, leaning on the table and looking at him quietly with his chin propped up.
"I really think Xingjian is the most perfect person in this world, perfect and unbearable!"
His undisguised praise made Shi Xingjian seem to have immunity, and he lost his previous shyness.
"That's because you haven't seen my master, he is the most perfect person in the world, so perfect that he is impeccable!"
Lu Ming straightened up, looking a little lonely.
"I have long heard that the disciples recruited by the tide career have always been fresh and handsome, and Huai Jin holds Yu, and I don't know if I, a rural villager, have the qualifications to enter the door of the tide career. ”
There was some sourness between his words, which actually made Shi Xingjian feel a little bit of the shadow of his career, and he was very happy at the moment.
"Lu Ming looks handsome, righteous and awe-inspiring, such a humble person, how can there be a reason not to accept the tide career?"
After receiving his praise, the loneliness on Lu Ming's face faded, and his eyes flashed brightly against the candles in the room.
"It's not too early, go back and rest early. Tomorrow, we'll go back to the mountains and see if we can find any clues. ”
"Okay, then you can rest early!"
In response to Shi Xingjian's words, Lu Ming got up and went back to his room.
The routine of Xinchao's career was already asleep at this time.
Today's incident was a little late, and Shi Xingjian sent Lu Ming away, closed the door, turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Soon after Shi Xingjian fell asleep, the communication mirror in front of the bed flashed with dazzling light, and Shi Chengze's phantom appeared in his guest room.
