Chapter 144: The Nie Family's Spiritualist Technique
After Mrs. Nie made a wish, she was helped out of the hall by Nie Yang'er. Yunkong also walked out and said to Old Lady Nie, "Do you want to see Pingping's deceased now?"
"Well, let's go see how my Pinkie is. Old Madam Nie looked sad.
Yunkong didn't take everyone away immediately, but glanced at Mu Chen and them, and then saluted Old Lady Nie, sighed with an ugly face and said to her: "The situation of Pingping's donor is not good, on the contrary, there is an aggravated situation. If you see it in a moment, please don't be sad and don't be afraid. ”
"What, sister, is the situation aggravated?" Nie Yang'er on the side was very anxious when she heard this.
"Thank you Abbot for the reminder. Old Lady Nie calmly returned the salute to Yunkong.
The back and forth conversation between Old Lady Nie and Yunkong had no flaws at all. If Mu Chen hadn't known in advance, he really thought that these two people didn't know anything!
Yunkong led everyone into a fasting room in the backyard of the temple, and when Yunkong opened the door, a biting chill hit. The room was filled with ice, the air conditioning was very low, and a crystal coffin was placed in the center.
Hehe, Mu Chen sneered in his heart, it turned out that they had specially prepared such a room for Mu Chen and the others. The dead old lady Nie was transferred from the Buddha statue here.
The disciples of the Yunkong Sect brought a few thick coats and distributed them to the few people present. "It's cold in the house, so let's put this on. ”
As soon as they entered the house and saw Pingping in the ice coffin, everyone exclaimed in shock. Just like what Mu Chen saw last night, Pingping's eyes were wide open, her mouth was wide open, her ears were close together, and her instep and toes were straight into a line. The only difference was that she had a few more corpse spots on her body.
But among the few people present, Mu Chen thought that only Nie Yang'er and Wuyu were really the first time to see the terrifying appearance of the corpse in the coffin, and they were really frightened from the bottom of their hearts.
Nie Yang'er turned from fear to sadness, looking at her sister like this, Nie Yang'er's tears couldn't stop flowing, lying on the ice coffin and choking and calling her sister.
"Sister, you're suffering!"
Mu Chen looked at Mrs. Nie's reaction again, although she didn't cry on her stomach like Nie Yang'er, she still frowned, there were already tears in her eyes, and she covered her mouth but didn't look at Pingping in the coffin.
Mu Chen pushed Bai Chen with his hand, and the two had already aligned their lines before.
Bai Chen immediately understood, pretending to be surprised and asked, "How did she become like this?"
"Could it be because she died unjustly and refused to leave because she had hatred in her heart, so she wanted to let people avenge her in this way?" Mu Chen echoed.
Old Lady Nie's eyes flashed, then she nodded and said sadly: "It must be like this, Pingping's death is unknown, it's really wrong!"
The abbot Yun Kong on the side also sighed and replied: "The deceased is indeed suspicious like this, I have been chanting the sutra to the deceased every day, but she still has such a change. The poor monk is really useless, and he is really sorry for the entrustment of Mrs. Nie. ”
"Abbot doesn't have to say that, I believe in your ability, and I can rest assured that Pingping is here. Old Mrs. Nie said.
"Thank you, Lord Nie. Yunkong then said, "Everyone, I still have to receive pilgrims, you are here first, and the poor monks will come back later." ”
After Yunkong left, Old Lady Nie said to Mu Chen, "Let's see if you can find out the reason why Pingping became like this?"
Mu Chen nodded and opened the coffin with Bai Chen.
"Let me take a look. Wu Yu stepped forward and said.
Mu Chen hurriedly refused: "No, let me come." Pingping is quite strange like this, I will use my spiritual power to investigate. ”
Mu Chen thought that he couldn't let Wuyu come to see, although Wuyu didn't have spiritual power, he was careful, and it would be troublesome if he found the exposed human skin.
Mu Chen pretended to look around the coffin and stared at Pingping carefully, sometimes pretending to be contemplative, sometimes with a heavy expression. In the end, Mu Chen shook his head in disappointment and said to Old Lady Nie: "I didn't find anything suspicious, and as for Pingping, I can't say the reason for the time being." ”
Old Madam Nie asked again, "Then can you find out what Pingping died for?"
"I see that Pingping has a lot of wounds on her arms, presumably because she was beaten by others. I remember you mentioned that Pingping's autopsy report also said that she was beaten to death? Pingping should have met a bad guy before ......"
"Alas, my poor Pingping!" After listening to Mu Chen's judgment, Mu Chen caught her face obviously showing a smug smile, but then it was fleeting and turned into a sad look.
Everything Mu Chen said just now was what he thought the fake old lady Nie in front of him wanted to hear. At this time, Mu Chen also understood the real purpose of Old Lady Nie bringing them to see Pingping, which was to let Mu Chen cut off this clue, which showed that she didn't want Mu Chen to discover the source of the Nie family's yin qi.
But at that time, she begged Mu Chen to save Nie Yang'er, what was the purpose of saving the Nie family?
Mu Chen didn't say anything more, but stayed aside to watch Old Lady Nie's reaction.
Old Lady Nie cried for a while, then recovered her mood and asked Mu Chen, "You mean, Pingping's death has nothing to do with the death of the descendants of the Nie family, right?"
"Hmm. Mu Chen replied affirmatively to Old Lady Nie.
"Then I need you to worry more about my Nie family's affairs. Old Mrs. Nie said.
"Nature, nature. Mu Chen agreed.
"Grandma, my sister is really painful like this, or let my sister be buried as soon as possible!" Nie Yang'er, who was already crying and red-eyed, pleaded with grandma.
Mrs. Nie comforted Nie Yang'er and said, "Yang'er, why doesn't grandma want your sister to be buried properly!" But your sister is obviously unwilling, she wants me to find out the real murderer for her!"
At this time, Wuyu stood up and said: "I think the police who should collect evidence on Miss Pingping have already collected evidence, so let's let Pingping be buried as soon as possible according to what Miss Nie said, this corpse is unlucky to be left for a long time, and bad things are prone to happen." ”
After listening to Wuyu's persuasion, Old Lady Nie nodded and replied, "I'll think about it." ”
After seeing Pingping, Yunkong originally wanted to leave everyone in the temple for dinner, but because Nie Yang'er was too sad and felt unwell, everyone returned to Nie's house in advance.
Wuyu went to treat Nie Yang'er, and the old lady Nie returned to the room under the pretext that she was tired, leaving only Mu Chen and Bai Chen.
The two found a place where no one was there to discuss the next thing.
At present, Mrs. Nie has clearly shown that she doesn't want Mu Chen to track down the cause of Pingping's death.
The reason for this should be that it was fake, Old Lady Nie originally just wanted Mu Chen to find out the source of the Nie family's yin qi, maybe she had set a trap and waited for Mu Chen to jump down. But I didn't expect Mu Chen to hear about Pingping's death out of nowhere.
She didn't expect that Mu Chen would connect Pingping's matter with the Nie family's yin qi, which temporarily disrupted her plan. So this fake old lady Nie and her accomplice Yunkong temporarily moved out of the body, asking Mu Chen to give up this clue by himself.
Mu Chen said to Bai Chen: "This matter is becoming more and more complicated, I need you to observe the movements of the temple in secret. ”
Bai Chen agreed and said, "Yes, then I have to find some reason to leave the Nie family." ”
"If you leave tonight, I'll say that there is a shortage of manpower in the Fragrance Pavilion, so you can go back and help first. Mu Chen found a reason and said.
After the two planned Bai Chen, they went back to the room to pack their luggage and say goodbye to everyone one by one, and the old lady Nie also came out to see Bai Chen after she found out, without any suspicion during the period.
After Bai Chen left Nie's house, he stayed in an inn near the temple, so that he could keep track of Yunkong at any time.
Another day passed, Mu Chen looked at Yao Si lying on the bed, thinking that it was one day closer to the day she woke up.
"Maybe you'll wake up tomorrow, right?"
At night, Bai Chen leaned on the temple wall to monitor every move inside. He saw Yunkong sneakily move the corpse from the original fasting room into the Buddha statue in the main hall again.
The coffin, which should have been about a hundred catties, was easily lifted by Yunkong's hands. This man's strength is not ordinary.
Bai Chen followed and flew to the roof of the main hall, and gently moved a tile, revealing a small gap, which was just opposite the position of Yunkong Station, allowing him to see the situation inside.
After Yunkong fixed the coffin and the Buddha body, he sprinkled some white ash into the coffin, and then flew to the top of the Buddha with satisfaction, pulled the white line mechanism, and the Buddha statue was closed.
Then Yunkong went back to his room to rest, and never came out again all night.
The next morning, Mrs. Nie invited Mu Chen to the ancestral hall to speak. Mu Chen thought to herself, is she going to lure herself into the bait?
After Mu Chen came to the ancestral hall, the old lady Nie was chanting, "Old lady, do you have anything to do with me?"
Old Madam Nie got up and asked him, "Are you still sure about my family's affairs?"
Mu Chen shook his head and replied, "Pingping's clue is broken, and I can't do it now." ”
"Alas, I came to you today to ask you for something. Old Lady Nie said slowly, "I want to ask your friends to send Yang'er away." Maybe if you leave the Nie family, Yang'er's illness will be able to get better, and she will be safe by your side, and I am very relieved that there is no Yu Divine Doctor to take care of her. ”
"What about you, aren't you leaving?" asked Mu Chen.
The old lady shook her head, took off the beads hanging around her neck, and said, "If you don't go, I can't escape as an old man." After leaving, you ask Wuyu to hand over this string of Buddhist beads to Yang'er. ”
Mu Chen thought that she was deliberately driving them away, so he complied with her and agreed.
Old Lady Nie looked at Mu Chen gratefully and continued, "I want to stay because I have one thing to do. The Nie family has been dealing with antiquities since ancient times, and if they want to understand antiquities, they naturally have psychic skills. A few days ago, I found a spiritualist technique in the file that was classified as a forbidden art by the ancestors of the Nie family. ”
