Chapter 392 Never Seen
Everyone followed the compass out of the yard.
Jiang Yunxi looked at the direction the compass needle was pointing to, and she understood what was going on. She led everyone forward and finally arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
"Oh my God, is it here?" Jiang Jingyan covered his mouth with his hands, his face full of shock. He thought he was in Tianqi's palace, but he didn't expect it to be the Princess's Mansion.
He really hadn't thought about this.
"Master, it's here." Lingci almost jumped up. It was great that they found the place where the body parts were sealed so quickly.
"No wonder you couldn't notice anything strange about the Princess's Mansion. Could it be that someone is using your body parts to do something bad?" Qian Heng rarely used her brain to think, otherwise with Yun Xi's ability, she should have been able to see the problem.
Lingyin Zhenren looked at the gate and said, "This is the Princess's Mansion of the Tianqi Empire. Have you been here before?"
Jiang Yunxi put away the compass, and then said that after they arrived in the capital of Tianqi, they tore up the notice and went directly to the Princess's Mansion, and also told about the series of deaths in the mansion.
"This, this princess doesn't want you to take care of her? Can their imperial teacher compare to you?" Lingyin Zhenren stroked his beard and complained.
"In the eyes of the eldest princess, Master Tianqi must be more powerful than me." Jiang Yunxi smiled. She didn't care that the other party looked down on her, but now a piece of her body was here.
She must go back into the house.
After staying there for one night, she did not find any formation in the mansion, nor did she know what arrangements the person who sealed and suppressed the corpse had made here.
"She doesn't need you now. How do you plan to get into the mansion?" Lingyin Zhenren frowned. It was such a big mansion, and there must be a lot of guards in it. They couldn't just break in by force.
"The Princess's Mansion will take the initiative to find us. Let's go back and rest." Jiang Yunxi said and turned away without looking back. If everything goes as she predicted, someone in the Shen family will die again tomorrow.
If there were more deaths, the eldest princess would probably not pin her hopes on the imperial teacher, and they would naturally look for her.
Everyone: “…”
The next day.
Jiang Yunxi got up early. On the table were the five items brought by Lingyin Zhenren: a flute, a fan, a comb, a teacup, and a jade pendant.
"Ancestor, can I come in? I am Chonghua." The voice of Chonghua Tianshi sounded outside.
"Come in." Jiang Yunxi was still wondering last night why he didn't come along this time. As a result, Lingyin Zhenren said that as soon as they arrived at the Tianqi Imperial Capital, the ancestor ran away.
After getting consent, Tianshi Chonghua went in quickly and saw what was on the table at a glance.
"You always liked to sit on top of Kunlun Mountain and play the flute, as if you were missing something. It sounded strangely sad. The fan was your usual weapon. You said this one wouldn't attract attention."
"You treasure the comb very much and use it to comb your hair every day. You only use this teacup to drink water. You always wear the jade pendant around your neck. After you suppressed the Demon-Slaying Sword, lock these five things in a box and let me keep it safe until you come to get them." Chonghua said with a smile.
Now, he has completed his mission and given the things to her.
"No wonder I felt so familiar when I saw them last night." Jiang Yunxi smiled. It turned out that these were the things she used frequently in the past. That was why she could use them to detect the specific location of the body parts.
"I heard from Lingyin Zhenren that the exact location of the body parts here has been found. Congratulations, ancestor." Chonghua Tianshi said with a bright smile.
Jiang Yunxi picked up a comb and combed her hair, her beautiful eyes gleaming with determination. "We have to get this piece of body as soon as possible."
"By the way, after I arrived here yesterday, I seemed to see an acquaintance, but I lost him in the end. I searched for him all night but still couldn't find him." Chonghua Tianshi said depressedly.
"What kind of acquaintance?" Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly. You are really energetic. You actually looked for him all night.
"He is from my period. Do you think anyone can live that long? I have been dead for hundreds of years. It is possible that I saw him wrongly, or he is a similar person." Tianshi Chonghua said, stroking his beard.
Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow and quickly took out a portrait from his bag. "Take a look and see if this is the person."
She was holding a portrait of the Nanman High Priest King.
Tianshi Chonghua stared at the portrait and shook his head, "It's not him. I have never seen this person before..."
Jiang Yunxi put the portrait away and said, "Maybe it's someone who looks a bit similar. We'll be here for a few days, and you can look for it again to see if it's someone you know."
Chonghua Tianshi: "Okay."
When Jiang Yunxi went out, Biluo, Lingci, Chu Leyi and the nanny in the yard prepared breakfast. When they were halfway through eating, Shen Yutang came.
"Miss Yun, there's another death in the Princess's Mansion, my third cousin from the third house." Shen Yutang choked with red eyes.
Everyone: “…”
It seems that even Tianqi's national teacher can't solve this problem.
"Is it the same way the previous deceased died?" Jiang Yunxi's face was calm and there was no ripple. She had a premonition long ago, and she was not surprised to hear what Shen Yutang said.
Even if she was at the Princess's Mansion last night, she probably wouldn't be able to stop it.
The Word Curse is a very vicious curse. The person who casts the curse uses his own lifespan to cast the curse, which means that every time someone dies, his own lifespan will be shortened.
There's a feeling of dying together.
To break this curse, you must find the person who cast the curse.
"Yes, this time it was my third cousin, Chen Ling, who died. He didn't get up in the morning, so the maid called the servants in and found him lying in bed unresponsive. They quickly went to call my third aunt, and only then did they confirm that he was dead. His face was calm, with no pain or struggle."
Shen Yutang's voice was filled with tears. Miss Yun's guess was correct. One person would die every seven days.
If this problem is not resolved, more people will die in seven days.
"Didn't you invite the imperial master?" Jiang Yunxi picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat slowly.
"The Imperial Master came last night and said that there was no evil spirit in the mansion and it must have been man-made. As for the curse you mentioned, he also looked at my second brother and the others, but he also said that he couldn't tell that they were cursed." Shen Yutang told the situation truthfully.
Jiang Yunxi looked at her, "What do you mean by coming here now?"
Shen Yutang suddenly knelt down and said, "Miss Yun, please save our family. If the murderer is not found, more people will die in our family."
Jiang Yunxi put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "I'm willing to help, but your grandmother doesn't seem willing to let me help."
"As long as Miss Yun is willing, I will go back and persuade my grandmother. This morning, after learning that my third cousin had died, my grandmother fainted from the grief." Shen Yutang said with tears in her eyes.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi agreed. She was originally going to the Princess's Mansion.
When Shen Yutang saw that she agreed, she thanked her repeatedly, quickly stood up and went back. She must convince her grandmother.
"Master, do you think the princess will agree to let you investigate?" Lingci tilted her head with a thoughtful expression.
"If she doesn't let me investigate, she is the murderer." Jiang Yunxi had an intriguing smile on her face.
