Chapter 74: We Have to Collect Their Bodies



Wei Fu: "Eh~~~ Junior Brother Taozi, you haven't left yet?"

Tao Zhi: “!!!” No matter how unwelcome I am, I just don’t look that good. I shouldn’t be treated as air or as garbage and not be worthy of staying here!

Tao Zhi shed wide noodles in tears, looking at Wei Fu with grievance, sadness, pity, and resentment: "Junior Sister, after I went back yesterday, things have made new progress!"

"Today, I came to the palace to tell you about the progress of the previous matter and to report the latest developments to the emperor."

Wei Fu: “(??ω??)?”

Is that so?

"Then tell me!"

Tao Zhi: “…” I was just about to speak when you opened your mouth!

But his little senior sister was only five years old and still a little kid, so he couldn't argue with her.

So Tao Zhi could only look at his senior brother with resentment, and then began to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, no one has been going to Dayan Temple since it was closed. I found the runaway maid of the Rong family in a monk's room in Dayan Temple."

There are no monks or believers in Dayan Temple now. All the people have been temporarily detained and will be released only after being interrogated and found to have no problems. However, because Tao Zhi was too busy, the monks only interrogated some people who had a good relationship with Master Wuji.

There was no time to interrogate the rest of the people one by one, so they were all locked up first.

"But when I found the maid, she was only breathing her last breath, lying in a pool of blood. Following the direction of her blood, I discovered a secret room underneath. There were many strange things in the secret room. My subordinate went down first to get those things out, but he spontaneously combusted after entering. I had to use the talisman of my junior sister to save him."

"So I would like to ask Junior Sister to go with me to take a look."

When Wei Fu heard there was work to do, she instantly stood up. She didn't even lie down in her junior brother Bingzi's arms and pretend to be dead. She said to the emperor with a piercing look in her eyes, "Uncle, uncle, Fu'er wants to go."

How could the emperor not agree?

Naturally I can only agree.

So Tao Zhi took Wei Fu out of the palace, and Shen Shubing naturally followed them out.

After leaving the palace, Shen Shubing separated from Wei Fu and the others. He was a cold and indifferent person and didn't care about many things. If it were someone else, he would probably follow Tao Zhi to join in the fun.

Tao Zhi was very happy that his troublesome senior brother had left.

When the senior brother is around, the junior sister won’t let him hug her.

He will always have the illusion that he is ugly.

Tao Zhihuan happily took her junior sister away. The empress dowager knew that the emperor asked Wei Fu to investigate these matters, but she was very worried. Although she knew that her little granddaughter was very capable, she was just a child after all!

The Queen Mother couldn't help but say to the Emperor, "Fu'er's master is unwilling to come out of seclusion. Why don't we ask Fu'er if he has any fellow apprentices proficient in this art? If so, we can ask her fellow apprentices to handle these matters."

The Empress Dowager did not see the scene of Concubine De raising a little ghost, nor did she see the horror of the Rong family, but Tingyu and Eunuch Li saw it. The Empress Dowager couldn't help but ask them a few questions. From Tingyu and Eunuch Li's vivid description, she learned that the scene was very bloody and ugly.

Wei Fu was still young, and the Queen Mother always felt that it was not good for a child to see such horrific scenes too often.

Children should play and be happy. But after Fu'er came back, she didn't enjoy any happiness and was always busy like a little top.

Such a terrible thing happened at the only party held for the mother and daughter.

The emperor also loves his little niece, but he does not have the right person to solve and deal with these matters. In the past, when he encountered something wrong, he could ask Master Wuji, but Master Wuji was a bad guy, so he could only ask Wei Fu who knew the situation.

Moreover, the emperor would not easily entrust such matters to others.

It would be fine if the other party deserves that trust, but if not, it would endanger his life, property, and the country.

He didn't dare to trust others, but he was willing to trust Wei Fu's fellow apprentices. At least, the fellow apprentices of Wei Fu he knew were all very reliable people.

Wei Fu didn't know how much her grandmother loved her. When she followed Junior Brother Taozi to Dayan Temple, the sun was already setting.

The blood-red afterglow of the setting sun enveloped Dayan Temple like blood. The temple, which was originally filled with Buddha's light and looked righteous, now looked like a devil's mouth, as if it wanted to swallow up all the living things around it.

The people who followed Tao Zhi over couldn't help but rub the goose bumps on their arms that had appeared at some point, and whispered, "Sir, why does this temple look different from when we first came here?"

Wei Fu asked, "Did you come here at noon?"

The official nodded.

"Noon is when the sun is at its strongest, suppressing all evil spirits. That's why you shouldn't find anything strange about entering this temple. But now is the time when the Golden Crow returns home, and all the negative energy, unable to be suppressed, is slowly spreading out."

Therefore, beheadings are usually carried out at noon, so that those who are unwilling to accept the fate will not be able to turn into harming beings even after their death.

"Now is not the most terrifying moment. At midnight, anyone who approaches this temple will be devoured."

Although Tao Zhi had no experience in this area, he had learned a little from what he had seen and heard. He frowned and asked, "Sister, are you saying that many people died in this temple?"

Wei Fu's fair and tender little face was full of seriousness as he nodded heavily.

Tao Zhi knew that the junior sister was a little angry at the moment.

Tao Zhi ordered: "Bring people here tomorrow to search the Dayan Temple thoroughly inside and out."

When a person dies, his body remains.

He was walking in front and about to lead the others in. Wei Fu pointed at a few soldiers in the crowd and said, "Don't go in. Go home quickly!"

Several soldiers looked at Tao Zhi.

Tao Zhi looked at those people with cold eyes: "Senior Sister, what's wrong with these people?"

The rest of the people also looked at those people warily, and some even drew their swords.

Wei Fu shook his head: "No, these people are too weak. Once they enter this evil place, they will see a lot of things they shouldn't see. They might even scare themselves to death. Then we will have a hard time collecting their bodies."

The few soldiers who were pointed at by Wei Fu earlier were all upset. If they were not concerned about Wei Fu's identity, they would really want to ask: Are you polite?

Wei Fu obviously thought he was being very polite, and he tried hard to put on a friendly expression. "Don't be afraid on your way back. Walk forward boldly. If you hear anyone calling your name, don't answer. If you are really scared, you can curse as you walk."

"It's the kind of cursing you usually see, like a shrew scolding someone on the street."

"These things are just like people. They bully the weak and fear the strong. So as long as you are aggressive, they won't bother you."
