Chapter 47 Digging Graves



Zhu Yingtai was dressed in a red wedding gown that resembled the sunset. The sleeves were embroidered with a pair of peony patterns, and the skirt was embroidered with mandarin ducks. The long train of the skirt trailed about three feet to the ground, and the edges were trimmed with inch-long gold thread and inlaid with five-colored rice beads. A fairy pleated belt cinched her waist.

She has clear, bright eyes, arched eyebrows, long eyelashes that tremble slightly, fair skin with a faint blush, and thin lips that are as fresh and delicate as roses.

Even with only light makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful, a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

The red wedding dress added to her mature and charming temperament, making her alluring, captivating, and stunningly beautiful.

This made Li Mingqing involuntarily recall a sentence.

"The peach blossoms are beautiful, the rosy cheeks are lovely, the phoenix robe and embroidered shawl are adorned with mandarin ducks, and the makeup is exquisite. So pretty, so pretty, so pretty."

"Shanbo".

Zhu Yingtai shouted, her fair face full of smiles, her beauty captivating, her eyes watery, like sweet spring water.

She opened her arms.

He ran towards Liang Shanbo.

Her skirt swayed and undulated, like flames dancing in the sunset, and her black hair was gently blown behind her, contrasting with the peach blossoms in the forest, adding a touch of charm to her dignified red wedding dress.

Liang Shanbo also ran forward, opened his arms and embraced Zhu Yingtai.

Li Ming gazed at the handsome man and beautiful woman.

The man was handsome and had the appearance of a scholar, while the woman had excellent skin and looks, the only flaw being that her chest was rather flat.

He still preferred Wu Xiao's description of the mountains and peaks, the waves, and the Tongguan Pass, a strategic pass connecting the mountains and rivers.

Tears welled in the eyes of the two survivors, who were extremely excited. However, they quickly regained their composure, and Liang Shanbo took Zhu Yingtai's hand and knelt before Li Ming.

Kneel, kowtow, and express gratitude.

Liang Shanbo said, "Thank you for saving us, immortal. Zhu Yingtai and I will remember this forever."

"It's all fate. Get up and come sit in my pavilion for a while to rest." Li Ming led the way, letting the couple rest in the pavilion for a bit before continuing their conversation.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai followed behind Li Ming, looking around as they walked.

The scenery is picturesque, with pavilions seemingly floating in the air.

The two men looked at each other in bewilderment, then knelt behind Li Ming and pleaded, "Please, gods, save us!"

"What is it?" Li Ming turned around and looked at them.

"Although we survived, it will be difficult to explain when we go back. The power of the Ma family is something that Zhu Yingtai and I cannot shake. Please, gods, help us think of a way."

"It's simple. I'll tell you what to do when you get back. Just relax and stay here for a couple of days." Li Ming had already thought of a solution.

Thank you.

The two kowtowed again, trusting this powerful deity, and asked no further questions.

The answer will be known in two days.

For the past two days, Li Ming has not taught them anything, but only occasionally talked to them to soothe their uneasy hearts.

Unlike the others who fell in, they were neither cultivators nor martial artists; they were just ordinary people, so they naturally had much less to do.

However, the two of them were always uneasy and wanted to do something to repay Li Ming.

Li Mingdu refused.

With nothing to do, they strolled around hand in hand, their sweet and affectionate demeanor causing the black dog to bark incessantly, and Li Ming nearly kicked over the dog food.

Two days passed quite quickly.

After Li Ming explained his methods, they were pulled back by a mysterious force.

Li Ming took out the Boundless Bowl to watch the subsequent scenes of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, mainly because he wanted to see if the backup plan he had left for them had worked.

The image in the bowl began to be projected.

...

The story of Liang Shanbo's tomb splitting open, Zhu Yingtai jumping into it, and the tomb closing up spread like wildfire.

Whether in ancient times or now, watching a spectacle is something that everyone enjoys.

Many people traveled long distances to come here to see if the story was true or false, so the area was surrounded by many ordinary people.

At the very front of the grave.

Ma Wencai of the Ma family was furious and was directing his servants to dig up the grave.

He couldn't believe such an absurd thing: Zhu Yingtai was passing by when the tomb split open, and she just happened to jump in.

He suspected that someone was behind the scenes manipulating this matter.

They planned to dig up the grave to see what Liang Shanbo was up to. If he caught them, they would definitely kill him.

The Liang family, naturally Liang Shanbo's relatives, rushed over to stop Ma Wencai when they heard he was going to dig up the grave. However, they couldn't resist and were held down by the Ma family.

"You will be punished by God for doing this."

"Dig for me!" Marvin commanded his many servants to dig.

Upon hearing about the grave robbing, the county magistrate quickly brought his men over and whispered in Ma Wencai's ear:

"Are you sure you're going a bit too far? The person is already dead, what are you still digging for? Your father told me to tell you that he can't afford to lose face like this, so get out of here right now."

"No one can stop me today," Ma Wencai said. "Even if the gods stand in my way, I will dig up the grave today. Stop dawdling and start digging now."

"Your actions will alarm the imperial court."

The county magistrate said.

They value burial for peace, and Ma Wencai's actions were purely disrespectful to the dead.

If this gets back to the imperial court, the court will be furious.

The Ma family is in trouble, and it might even implicate him, which is why I spoke up to warn them.

"Today, you just watch, don't worry about me, there's definitely something fishy going on here."

Ma Wencai hardened his heart, only to find that the wife he was about to have was gone just like that.

He couldn't stand it.

Even if Zhu Yingtai were to die, she should die in the Ma family's cemetery.

Dying in the Liang family, what does it matter?

I can't swallow this insult.

Ma Wencai's eyes were bloodshot as he directed his servants to dig up the grave.

Soon, the grave was dug up, but not only could they not find Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, they couldn't even find their coffins.

"Where's the coffin?"

Ma Wencai flew into a rage, staring at the empty grave, then looked at the Liang family members and said:

"I knew it was you guys who did this. Liang Shanbo is definitely not dead. You actually tried to kidnap Zhu Yingtai using such methods to deceive everyone. You deserve to die."

"The coffin has disappeared?" The county magistrate frowned.

How could the coffin have disappeared?

This doesn't make sense.

Liang Shanbo's actions were a foregone conclusion; this was a confirmed fact.

When he heard that the tomb had split open, he found it very absurd. Now the coffin was gone, and the bodies of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai had not been found either.

Could it really be someone from the Liang family who did this?

That's incredibly audacious.

“Young master, the coffin hasn’t disappeared; it must have sunk.” A servant said, “Young master, look, there’s a crack at the bottom.”

"You guys dig it up for me."

Ma Wencai was furious.

"You must dig him out for me. And you all, come with me. Torture the Liang family members severely. I don't believe Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai won't come out."

He is now convinced that the Liang family is behind this.

Just as they were about to make their move, dark clouds suddenly rolled in the sky, a chilling wind blew, the ground shook violently, and cracks spread out like a spider web.

Boom!

Thunder roared across the sky.
