"There is corpse qi? What does that mean?"
The girl, Fei Jiajia, was subconsciously curious, and the Duan couple were also puzzled.
Just listen to Lu Nanxing's explanation,
"Generally speaking, people who come into contact with corpses will be contaminated with some corpse qi, and the concentration of corpse qi in your body..."
She said as she leaned in and sniffed it, then she was certain.
"At least three days of contact."
As soon as Lu Nanxing said this, the Duan couple all changed their expressions.
After all, according to what the four survivors said, they decided to give up after carrying Duan Chengming's body for a day, and placed him in a place before leaving.
If what they said was true, Duan Chengming died on the seventh day, and they had contact with his body for only one day at most.
Because after a person dies, corpse qi does not emit immediately, and taking into account this time, it will take at least a day.
But now Lu Nanxing said it would take at least three days, which could only mean that Fei Jiajia and the others lied!
Duan's mother obviously realized this, and her eyes instantly showed hatred when she looked at Fei Jiajia.
"Tell me, did you lie? Did you carry my son's body with you until you were rescued? Did you..."
Eat him.
Mother Duan choked up and couldn't utter the last few words.
Just imagining that possibility made her feel like her heart was being torn apart.
The loss of their son had already devastated the couple, and they could not accept that their son's body would be treated horribly again.
Fei Jiajia was under the wrath of Duan's mother, and her eyes turned red.
"Aunt, no! We really didn't lie! I don't know why she said that I was covered in corpse gas. We did carry Cheng Ming's body for a while at that time. It might have been at that time that I was infected, but it definitely wasn't three days!"
She said this with certainty, her face full of anxiety of being wrongly accused.
Lu Nanxing did not change his mind because of her explanation and just insisted on the facts he sensed.
"I definitely smelled it for more than three days."
She is absolutely professional when it comes to sensing corpse qi.
Upon hearing this, Father Duan also spoke in a deep voice.
"Master Lu is the expert we hired to find the body. I trust her judgment. What exactly did you hide during the days you were missing? I will get to the bottom of it once we find my son's body."
Seeing that both Duan's father and mother did not believe her, Fei Jiajia felt helpless for a moment. After calming down for a while, she said,
"I'm not lying, but I know it's useless to say anything now. Let's wait until we find Cheng Ming's body."
Then, she turned to Lu Nanxing and said,
"I came here today to show you the way. Even though you are professionals, this is your first time entering this mountain.
I have been into the mountain once, and I still remember the location of Cheng Ming's body. If I take you with me, it will save you a lot of time."
Duan's father and mother didn't believe her and didn't want Fei Jiajia to get involved, for fear that she would do something bad.
But unexpectedly, Lu Nanxing agreed immediately.
In addition to the fact that the reasons Fei Jiajia gave herself were convincing enough, it was also because she had the corpse aura of Duan Chengming on her body, which was very crucial.
Furthermore, she also wanted to find Duan Chengming's body as soon as possible, not only to reveal the truth, but also to... give peace of mind to the parents who lost their child.
After Lu Nanxing agreed, the Duan couple finally stopped pestering them.
Over there, while the others were talking, Tu Xingzhu had already quickly drawn a formation with piles of stones.
The sound of suona rang out, and the sound carrying the power of the underworld turned into a strand of silk thread, which passed around Duan's parents and Fei Jiajia, extracting a trace of their loved ones' breath and corpse gas from them respectively.
The two were hooked into the formation along the silk thread.
At the same time, Lu Nanxing made hand gestures and set up the formation.
Soon, the formation lit up, and the auras finally gathered into a wisp of green smoke and flowed into the compass in Lu Nanxing's hand.
"The direction is out, let's go."
As Lu Nanxing spoke, he raised his legs and walked forward first, and Tu Xingzhu and Fei Jiajia hurriedly followed.
Duan's parents were waiting outside, and if they couldn't wait any longer, they could call the police in time.
Soon, the three figures disappeared on the mountain path.
Following the path trampled by predecessors, Lu Nanxing and Tu Xingzhu walked all the way inside.
Fei Jiajia originally thought that it would be difficult for them to walk on such a mountain road since they were so young, so she planned to lead the way. However, she didn't expect that the two people in front of her walked as if they were walking on flat ground, and walked faster than her who often went on adventures.
It was also because she had not paid attention to the previous "Inspiration" and did not recognize Jiang Xuxu's two partners.
Otherwise she would know that almost every place on Buming Mountain, where Haishi Taoist College is located, has been walked by students of the college.
Climbing mountains is one of their training topics.
After spending most of the day, the three of them reached the outer exploration area. Seeing that it was already dark, Lu Nanxing stopped without hesitation.
After finding a suitable place to set up camp, Tu Xingzhu began to set up a barrier around it to prevent insects and beasts. Lu Nanxing found a rock to sit on, then took out his cell phone and started clicking.
Fei Jiajia didn't notice until this moment that they didn't bring any camping supplies. She took out the tent she was carrying and was about to say that they would probably have to squeeze together tonight when she heard Lu Nanxing ask,
"What would you like for dinner?"
Fei Jiajia was puzzled and was about to ask, but Tu Xingzhu had already reported the menu he wanted to eat, "There are three of us, four dishes are enough."
Fei Jiajia: …
Is there something wrong?
What’s the point of ordering food in the middle of nowhere?
It doesn't look like they have any food in their backpacks, so could they be delivering takeout?
