Chapter 227 Don't Touch Them
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the body of Mr. Pei?" Old Mrs. Liao frowned, her face full of worry.
"He has been put into the coffin and will be buried in the next two days. If you are free, you can go and see him off." Jiang Yunxi said lightly.
Old Lady Liao nodded, "Master Pei..."
Jiang Yunxi's face darkened. "He committed a capital crime. Killing someone means paying with one's life."
The families of the deceased wanted to tear Pei Lie to pieces. He had killed more than a dozen people and he deserved to die. No one could save him.
Old Mrs. Liao sighed, her face full of self-blame.
The four of them went to the basement together.
"Old lady, how come there is such a large space under your house?" Jiang Yunxi asked as she looked around. Although it was not very big, it was not small either, so there was nothing special about it.
"Everyone has a cellar in their home to store things. There used to be a lot of things here, but later when Pei Lie needed them, he moved them out." Old Mrs. Liao said lightly.
Jiang Yunxi walked to the stone bed, which seemed to be tailor-made for her. She looked around again and left only after finding nothing unusual.
"Old lady, sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, it's just the Pei brothers..." Old Mrs. Liao's face was full of grief.
"It's their fate. Let's go." Jiang Yunxi said and turned to leave. Suddenly, she realized that she had forgotten one thing. Pei Lie said that he came to this manor because of a woman.
Who is this woman?
The women he chose to attack all had three similarities in appearance. Was it because that woman also had distant mountain eyebrows, willow-shaped eyes, and a square face?
After leaving the yard.
Jiang Yunxi walked straight into the manor.
"What's going on with this family? I smell a corpse in the basement." Meng Po's face was meaningful.
"Remember when I asked you about the ointment? Some people bought it to prevent corpses from emitting bad odors. There was a corpse on the stone bed underground for a year." Jiang Yunxi did not hide anything.
"Why store it for a year?" Meng Po almost guessed why.
"To resurrect." Jiang Yunxi said.
Meng Po's face was filled with disdain as she sneered, "That's all wishful thinking. Do you really think anyone can be resurrected?"
Jiang Yunxi smiled slightly, "Don't you also want to..."
Meng Po snorted coldly, "At least I know to find the Heavenly Dao Pearl instead of just preserving the body."
Jiang Yunxi looked around and asked, "Do you sense any evil aura or ghosts here?"
"No, this place is too desolate and empty. It feels like it's dead." Meng Po looked around and said, without any anger at all.
“But there are indeed ghosts here.”
"impossible."
"I made marks on the two ghosts. The formation shows that they are here, but after arriving here, I can't sense the breath of the ghosts." Jiang Yunxi said in a calm voice.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Otherwise, as long as there are ghosts around, she will definitely find them.
"How could this be..." Meng Po's face was full of surprise. For those of them who understood the mystical arts, it was not difficult to discover the existence of ghosts.
Jiang Yunxi had an intriguing smile on his face. "I can only say that this village is not that simple. Where is the grave of the female corpse?"
Meng Po pointed to a place not far away and said, "See that towering stone wall? There's a passage underneath that you can go into. And there's a formation there. Ordinary people can't even find the way down there."
Jiang Yunxi: “…”
There is actually a formation in a tomb.
The three of them soon arrived at the back of the village, where there was a towering stone mountain. If viewed from the entrance of the village, the village looked like a round tomb, and the stone mountain looked like an upright monument.
Meng Po led them in and walked on the narrow road for a long time. Gradually, the road became wider and wider, the temperature became lower and lower, and there was occasional wind blowing.
A moment.
A staircase leading underground appeared.
Soon a huge cave came into view.
Jiang Yunxi was surprised. She didn't expect that there was such a hidden world under the ground. In the middle was a square stone platform. The platform was empty, but four chains as thick as arms could be seen.
One end of the chain was locked to the carved stone pillars on all four sides.
There are many stone statues placed around the stone platform. They are all wearing uniform clothes and all facing the stone platform, as if they are worshiping the person on the stone platform.
"The soul-locking coffin was originally on that stone platform." Meng Po said lightly. After the female corpse ran away, she had no choice but to ask someone to move the soul-locking coffin away.
"Are these stone figures for burial?" Jiang Yunxi walked slowly towards the statues, which reminded her of China's Terracotta Warriors, which looked similar.
Meng Po looked at the densely packed stone carvings and said, "That's right. The woman in the Soul-Locking Coffin must be of high status, otherwise she wouldn't have been buried with such a grand ceremony."
When she first found this place, she was also a little shocked.
Jiang Yunxi glanced around at the statues. There were at least hundreds of them, and if she counted carefully, there were probably thousands. She slowly walked towards the stone platform. The walls around the platform were all carved with beautiful patterns.
Zhan Beiyuan followed.
Meng Po also walked upstairs, "There is nothing valuable here anymore."
Jiang Yunxi looked at her and asked, "You took them all?"
"It's not me who took it away. It's just that apart from the Soul-Locking Coffin, there are no other burial objects." Meng Po's mouth twitched slightly. She had thought that there would be a lot of burial objects here.
In the end, there was nothing but those stone carvings.
"Could it be in these stone sculptures?" A light flashed in Zhan Beiyuan's mind. The shapes of these stone sculptures are similar to those of normal people, so it is completely possible to hide things in them.
Meng Po's eyes lit up, "King Han is wise."
The words fell.
She waved her hand and slapped a stone sculpture.
"Don't touch them!" Jiang Yunxi hurriedly stopped them, but it was too late.
Bang——
The stone sculpture hit by Meng Po's power shattered instantly, and it was seen that there were really a lot of gold, silver and jewelry hidden inside the stone sculpture, which was dazzling to the eyes.
"It turns out it is hidden so secretly. I was mistaken." Meng Po said coldly.
"Did you notice anything wrong?" Jiang Yunxi felt that something seemed to be surging in the air.
"Some stone men moved..." Zhan Beiyuan saw it.
The original gesture of putting hands together in worship has now changed to an attacking state.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light burst out from the stone platform, and Jiang Yunxi, Zhan Beiyuan and Meng Po disappeared in an instant.
When Jiang Yunxi opened her eyes again, she found herself in another place. People were coming and going on the bustling street, talking and laughing. Suddenly, her sight was fixed on the distance.
Not far away.
Jinxiu supported Madam Gu and walked slowly.
She saw Old Madam Chu again, followed by an old woman, the two walking one in front and the other behind.
Then she saw someone she knew again.
Pei Heng, and Yu Qingwan.
Jiang Yunxi was confused. What was going on?
They don't look like spirits, but like people.
