Mingzhuo suddenly opened his eyes and smelled the stench of decay.
She sighed inwardly, turned over and got up, sat for a moment, and then reached out to touch her body.
Her nails and hair had grown a bit longer; though time had passed in an instant, it still left its mark on her.
It seems that someone missed her a lot during her disappearance.
But it's understandable, since she'll be turning eighteen soon, it's normal for someone to make trouble.
I don't know if it just suddenly came to mind, or if they already knew something.
Mingzhuo rolled down from her hiding place, but her feet were on bluestone slabs. She looked up and surveyed her surroundings.
This is a tomb chamber, and her resting place is a stone coffin, lined with soft silk, which is very comfortable to lie in.
She slept very well without being disturbed, and she was very satisfied.
The only thing I wasn't entirely satisfied with was that no matter how well the tomb was built, its age and poor air circulation meant it had a slightly rotten smell.
The tomb chamber was very large, with side chambers next to it, where ever-burning lamps were kept.
The walls of the tomb were covered with lifelike murals, which Mingzhuo examined and found to be roughly depicting the life of the tomb's occupant.
Suddenly, the flame of the ever-burning lamp flickered, a gust of cold wind blew by, and a figure silently appeared behind Mingzhuo.
Mingzhuo didn't even turn her head: "Beautiful lady, so you really are a princess. No wonder the coffin was so comfortable. Thanks!"
As she spoke, she turned around and looked at the woman in front of her.
With a pale, bluish-white face, blood-red lips, and two dark, bloody holes instead of eyeballs in their sockets, and a talisman pasted on their forehead, it was clearly not human.
The corpse demon sensed three days ago that the tomb had been occupied by someone, and that person had an aura that she both feared and recognized.
For the past three days, it has stayed hidden in the side room, not daring to voice any objections, but it has also confirmed one thing: this person has no intention of taking it in.
The corpse demon opened its mouth, let out two "ah" sounds, then seemed to remember something and stood there in a daze.
Mingzhuo had already seen it; it had no tongue in its mouth.
"Okay, I understand. You have been wronged, and I will help you."
She had just seen the mural; it told a story of deep love between two people.
The Corpse Demon was the youngest princess of an ancient kingdom. She was pampered and spoiled from a young age, and was raised to be innocent, kind, and naive.
She had a sweetheart, a man who was outstanding and talented, and he worked incredibly hard to finally marry her.
After his father passed away, the man was distrusted by the new king, and his ambitions could not be realized. He eventually came to hate her completely.
I hate her naivety, I hate her otherworldly nature. All the virtues I once cherished are wrong, wrong, wrong. Even her being alive and breathing is wrong.
The perfect couple turned into a bitter one in just three short years.
She died in a power struggle within the inner courtyard of the house. Her tongue was cut out and her eyes gouged out by a powerful successor. That person was filled with grief but dared not utter a word.
Blood tears rolled down the corpse demon's empty eye sockets as she recalled everything she had suffered in her previous life, her heart breaking with pain, unable to understand why this had happened.
Mingzhuo: "He has already been reincarnated, but don't worry, since he promised to be with you for all eternity, he will keep his promise."
She did some calculations and wondered if it was karma, but that person's family background in this life was quite ordinary.
He was quite capable and passed the local civil service exam. His parents immediately looked down on his girlfriend of several years, thinking that she was a burden because she was from a rural area, an only child, and would have to support her parents in the future.
The man believed his parents were right, but because he still loved his girlfriend, he painfully went on blind dates while secretly seeing her at the same time.
This repeated pulling and tugging made his girlfriend more and more involved, unable to let go at all.
From ancient times to the present, they have consistently lacked a sense of responsibility.
Mingzhuo decided to let the corpse demon make an appearance, so that the man wouldn't feel so self-satisfied, thinking he was so deeply in love.
She removed the talisman from the corpse demon's forehead, burned it, and sent the corpse demon away.
The fact that the other party has been trapped here for hundreds of years without causing any trouble, but has simply been sleeping, is enough to prove its strong will.
It was almost used by someone with ulterior motives to release it and harm others, but fortunately Mingzhuo stopped it in time.
Once the inner conflict is resolved, the corpse demon's future will be bright, whether it chooses to reincarnate or remain in the underworld as a ghost messenger.
The owners of the tomb had all left, and Mingzhuo did not linger any longer, walking out as well.
She guessed it must be very lively outside, and a big show was waiting for her.
——
When darkness falls, all evil spirits and monsters will appear.
As He Wangyao and Xianze were patrolling the valley, they indeed saw another group of people break into the valley.
This group of people, carrying torches, marched in a grand procession and even invited a local charlatan to perform a blessing ceremony.
One of the leaders stepped forward and said warily, "We are here to worship the mountain god. This is our local custom. You outsiders should not cause trouble."
He Wangyao was speechless; these people really weren't afraid of death.
He looked up and surprisingly saw a familiar face in the line.
When Zhang Xian saw He Wangyao, he rubbed his hands awkwardly and greeted her, "You're here too."
The show "Spirit Inquiry" became a huge hit after director Lü Yan's risky move, but then it completely fizzled out.
Among the guests on the show, Professor Luo has a primary job but continues to be a professor; Yu Shangyuan comes from a prominent family and has no worries about making a living; Meng Tiange and Granny Mei also have some skills and are doing quite well.
Zhang Xian was the only one who was ridiculed and made it to the trending searches because of his lack of ability, his terrible appearance, and his habit of boasting and exaggerating.
