On the day Lu Yanan appeared, there were many evil cultivators in the forest, but the person Xiaoying was looking for was not there.
When doubts arise in one’s mind, one is compelled to find out.
He took this matter to heart and investigated it secretly.
Finally, he found it a few days ago.
He took out the photo stone left by his master and restored the prisoner's confession on it.
The images shown in the photo stone were of some evil cultivators' followers captured by Zhou Yan.
Several of them were insiders, and in order to escape death, they told all the secrets they knew.
There was one thing that Zhou Yan found very strange, so he asked another question.
As a result, this one question revealed everything he had been investigating.
It turned out that year, Xiaoying was pregnant and dreamed about her husband's unfortunate death for several days.
She was uneasy and remembered what her mother had said to her when she was alive. In desperation, she prepared to go to the cemetery where her mother and grandfather often visited.
She wanted to follow the example of those who worshipped Buddha and worship the immortals her mother mentioned. Her grandfather's family had been guarding the tomb for generations, and those immortals would definitely help her husband by looking at her face, which was half of her grandfather's blood.
I don't ask for everything to come back intact, as long as I'm still alive!
As she is pregnant and going to such a dangerous place, it would be safest for her to bring some guards with her.
But grandpa said that no one except their family should be told about that place.
After some thought, she told her father that she wanted to travel to relax. After getting his consent, she set off for that deserted place.
Just as they were about to reach their destination by walking out of the forest and climbing over the mountain ahead, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared on the road.
They somehow learned that she had a magic weapon in her hands.
Force her to take it out.
She knew the importance of the jade token and refused to obey it, and was eventually tortured to death.
Thinking of that death, Xiaoying still felt unbearable pain all over her body.
Their methods of torture are truly cruel.
She looked at the photo stone hanging in front of her, and a young man in it said, "We didn't do that. A man found the organization and said he wanted to join us, but our boss was unwilling to accept a stranger.
But the man did not give up and said that he knew a valuable treasure.
Our boss is extremely obsessed with spiritual practice. After listening to the man's words, he asked him to hand over a valuable treasure and let him join the organization.
But then, that man never showed up again, and we all thought he was lying. Our boss even got really angry at that time.”
"Do you remember what his characteristics are?"
"I don't remember, but our boss was very angry. Then one day, our boss was no longer angry, but he had a lot of money in his hands. So we guessed that the man used the money to ward off disaster."
"Oh, by the way, the boss got drunk one time and said that person was someone close to the leader."
The photo stone ends here.
Zhou Yan raised his eyelashes slightly: "That's all. I don't think he is lying. You should go back and investigate.
As you said, the place you go is very secretive and most people don't go there.
But that day, someone was waiting for you at that place, and even knew that you had the treasure in your hand. This must be someone you know."
Xiaoying thinks so too.
No one will know the conversation between her and her mother.
Unless...
She froze suddenly and disappeared immediately.
——
The chief had just finished a meeting and was sitting on the sofa rubbing his forehead.
His health has been getting worse recently and he wants to retire.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiaoying?"
The father and daughter looked at each other, and the leader stood up happily, as if he was not the one who was tired just now.
"Why are you back? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"
The chief was surprised and went forward to ask his daughter to sit with him for a while. However, when he did, he found something wrong: "You...you are..."
He was completely stunned. This was a body with body temperature, not as cold as before.
Xiaoying smiled and said, "That's what you think. I have a body again now."
The leader was so happy that he cried.
His child was no longer a ghost, but a living person.
"Dad, let's go to the study and talk."
The chief's study is a high-level place and no one will eavesdrop inside.
Seeing his child being so cautious, the chief frowned and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Dad, when I went on a trip, did Xia Chen also take a vacation?"
The chief didn't hesitate: "Yes, he said something happened at home and he needed to go back to see it. He was granted a week's leave."
That was the day my daughter disappeared, so I remember that period of time very clearly.
"Why are you asking him?" The leader felt that his daughter would not mention others for no reason.
Xiaoying: "Dad, he must have been responsible for my accident."
The chief was not a person who believed everything he heard. The moment Xiaoying finished speaking, his heart trembled. If what Xiaoying said was true, then this person must have done more than one thing.
He said cautiously, "Kid, you stay here for a while. I'll let Chongye investigate."
Three days later, Chongye brought news that Xia Chen was indeed not a good person.
It can be said that he used to be a good man and a good soldier, but his mind was too narrow. For fame and fortune, he betrayed the leader's family.
Half of what happened with the Fire Dragon back then was his doing.
