Chapter 498: Elixir
Lin Yuzhi wanted to cry but had no tears: ...
She had never suffered much in her life. She had lived a life of luxury since childhood. Later, she married into the Luo family and had never suffered any grievances or done anything out of line.
But today I'm here, digging up someone's grave.
"I'm sorry, I really am."
She bowed several times and had no choice but to go ahead.
The shovel hit something with a clang sound, which scared her so much that she almost jumped up.
"Found it!" Tu Xiaoxiang dug up the soil, revealing a small coffin.
"What can be put in such a small coffin?" Lin Yuzhi couldn't help but ask Tu Xiaoxiang in confusion.
Tu Xiaoxiang did not answer, but squatted down, looked at him carefully, and frowned.
Only then did Lin Yuzhi notice that the coffin lid was densely packed with iron nails and sprinkled with a layer of cinnabar.
"Are you so afraid that the things inside will run out?" Tu Xiaoxiang sneered.
"The soul-suppressing nails are arranged according to the directions of the Big Dipper. The nail heads are dipped in black dog blood, and each one is nailed into the vital points of the soul. The cinnabar is mixed with incense ash. This is to nail the ghost inside the coffin to death, and it will never be able to reincarnate."
Jiang Xu: "Open the coffin."
"Now? The ghost inside won't run out, right?" Lin Yuzhi swallowed nervously.
"With Master here, what are you afraid of?"
Tu Xiaoxiang is full of confidence.
Too.
Lin Yuzhi turned her head and glanced at Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu was dressed in black, almost blending into the surrounding night. Her expression did not change much, but for some reason, Lin Yuzhi felt that she seemed to be in a bad mood, with a layer of frost covering her face.
She stepped forward, took out some talismans, and muttered something.
The talisman paper spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into a golden light that rushed towards the coffin.
A crack appeared in the coffin.
A burst of resentment rushed out.
Suddenly, shrill cries rang out from all directions, and a strong wind swept through.
Jiang Xu's fingertips changed, and he drew a talisman in the air. A golden light turned into a big net, wrapping up the resentment.
Jiang Xu sighed: "Okay, I never said I would stop you from taking revenge, just be quiet."
The wind died down and the mournful cries turned into soft sobs.
"Click"
A small piece of bone fell out and rolled to the ground.
"Bones, bones!" Lin Yuzhi gasped, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
There were bones in the coffin!
"Is it the bone of some animal? But why is it so small?"
Tu Xiaoxiang frowned more and more tightly, lowered his head and cursed, feeling unprecedented anger for the first time.
"These beasts, animals? These are clearly the bones of babies who are not even a month old!"
"Ah! What!"
Lin Yuzhi felt dizzy.
The baby's bones, pieces of them?
Could it be, dismemberment?
But why are you here?
Tu Xiaoxiang continued to open the coffins. As expected, the rest of the new graves were filled with bones of all sizes.
She suddenly thought of something and her face turned pale.
"Master, could it be that these babies are the ones that... disappeared before?"
Jiang Xu nodded, his eyes as cold as ice.
"We can't find them because they've all turned to bones, buried in this deep mountain using some evil method."
Abscesses, babies, antidote...
So, the antidote they're hoping for is...
Tu Xiaoxiang shuddered, her nails digging deep into her palms.
So vicious!
If that is really the case, these people are worse than animals and are completely insane!
The next second, Jiang Xu spoke in a cold voice, confirming her thoughts.
"Legend has it that there's a sorcery that, by mixing a baby's heart, liver, and spleen with special herbs, can create a panacea that can cure any disease."
"What?!" Lin Yuzhi's eyes suddenly widened, and her mind went blank.
Baby entrails? Elixir? Antidote?
"vomit!"
She suddenly remembered her mother-in-law's red sores that had miraculously healed, and the "antidote" that the villagers were eagerly waiting for. Her stomach churned and she vomited on the spot.
She couldn't believe that her self-proclaimed kind parents-in-law and the kind villagers would actually dismember such a small baby and give it as an antidote in order to cure an illness...
Lin Yuzhi felt cold all over.
She once wondered what her parents-in-law had done to deserve such a curse, but no matter how she imagined it, she never imagined it could be so cruel!
That's a child!
She had actually lived with such a group of murderous demons for so many years. If it weren't for the sore this time and Jiang Xu, she would probably have been kept in the dark.
"Master, should we notify Fu Ming now?" Tu Xiaoxiang asked.
Jiang Xu didn't answer, but suddenly glanced at the dark woods.
"Here I am."
As soon as the words fell, a white light suddenly lit up.
A group of figures walked out of the darkness, and villagers surrounded them from all directions with flashlights in their hands. The sharp sickles and hoes in their hands flashed coldly under the light.
Seeing the dug-up coffin and scattered bones, the leading man's pupils suddenly shrank, his face changed, and his sharp eyes went towards Jiang Xu and the other two.
“Who are you!”
"Village chief, they..." Cold sweat quickly seeped out of the man's forehead.
He saw this group of people sneaking up the mountain and felt uneasy, so he quickly notified everyone.
In the end, they were still a step too late and even the grave had been dug.
Then all their secrets have been discovered.
"What kind of Chinese medicine master are you, you son of a bitch? Who gave you the permission to touch my ancestral grave?"
"Where's my mom? She was just buried yesterday in a new grave, and it's full of bones! Where did you put her body?"
"What a sin! My mother was always very respectable when she was alive, but now even her body is gone. You three must give us an explanation for what happened today!"
The middle-aged man picked up the sickle and rushed forward excitedly.
"Hey, don't be so impulsive." The village chief stretched out his hand to stop him, rolling his cloudy eyes and staring at Jiang Xu and the others.
"Yuzhi, can you explain why you dug up his mother's grave? Why did the bones inside become like this? Where is her mother's body?"
Lin Yuzhi didn't answer, but looked straight at her mother-in-law in the crowd, "Mom, you guys..."
The old lady looked away and sighed.
She gave her a chance.
But curiosity killed the cat. Don't blame her for being cruel if she knows things she shouldn't know.
"Yuzhi, I didn't expect you to be hanging out with these tomb robbers and even steal your aunt's remains."
"Mom can't help you even if she wants to."
Tu Xiaoxiang almost vomited after listening to it.
They have done so many bad things, but they are the first to complain and want to put the blame on them!
"Bah! Do you think no one knows about the good things you did? I'm embarrassed to say it out loud. You could have the heart to hurt such a young child. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning and punished by God?" She spoke in a foul manner.
The village chief's face instantly turned ferocious, his cloudy eyes stared at her, revealing a few yellow teeth.
"Sir, please don't talk nonsense. We abide by the law and don't do such things."
He winked behind him and said, "These three people are acting suspiciously. Let's detain them first and deal with them later after we have cured the disease."
