Bai Xianyu nodded her head: "That's the only way to go."

……

On the way out of Wuchen Village, Chen Mu and the others encountered two groups of killers.

Fortunately, there is Manjiaye, a tool man, and the woman is full of grievances, and she solves all the puppet killers like cutting vegetables and melons.

Seeing the woman stomping on the puppet killer's head until it was smashed to pieces, Chen Mu was inexplicably horrified.

It's scary how crazy this woman is.

In the small courtyard, Meng Yanqing, who was waiting anxiously, finally felt relieved when he saw Chen Mu and the others come back.

But he didn't see his daughter's figure, and felt a sense of loss in his heart.

"Husband, Xiao Xuan'er..."

"It's okay. The good news is that she is probably in Wuchen Village, and we have a way to save her."

Looking at Meng Yanqing with a haggard face, Chen Mu comforted her for a while, and promised to rescue Xiao Xuan'er, so the beautiful woman's heart was a little more stable.

"You said we've been away for five days?"

Bai Xianyu looked at Qingluo in surprise, thinking she had heard wrong.

It always feels like the three of them searched for the whole afternoon, why did the girl Qingluo say that it has been five days, what's the situation?

Qing Luo pursed her red lips: "It's been five days, I thought something happened to you, and I was so worried. If you don't come today, I can only send Hades to look for you."

The three of Chen Mu looked at each other.

How did time pass so fast?There is no perception at all.

"Maybe it's because time passed quickly when we entered that space world, so we didn't notice it." Chen Mu explained.

Bai Xianyu sighed: "The longer the time, the more troublesome it will be."

"By the way, sister, that King Yunzheng is going to hold a funeral for his wife, and he will be buried tomorrow. He chose Wuhe Peak as the location, and invited many monks to come to perform the ritual."

Qingluo said crisply. "In addition, the death of Princess Yunzheng has also spread to the court, and many officials... all impeached you."

Bai Xianyu sneered: "If you don't impeach, it means you're in big trouble."

Since coming to Dongzhou, there have been big murders one after another, either the magistrate's wife was killed, or the princess was killed. It is normal for the court to have complaints.

"By the way, there is another rumor, although it sounds very ridiculous."

A hint of mystery suddenly appeared on Qingluo's cute little face.

"What rumor?"

Bai Xianyu took the tea and took a sip.

Qingluo moved closer, and whispered: "There are rumors that the Goddess of Destiny Valley seems to be pregnant."

"Cough cough..."

Bai Xianyu choked on the tea.

She also didn't care about wiping the water stains on the front of the skirt, and stared at Qingluo strangely: "Where did you hear such nonsense rumors?"

"Some rumors collected by Suzaku Hall."

"Is this kind of rumor okay?"

Bai Xianyu wiped the water stains with a handkerchief, and said angrily. "If there is, it means that the Queen Mother spread rumors, expressing her dissatisfaction with Destiny Valley."

"Empress?" Qingluo was puzzled.

Bai Xianyu said indifferently: "A few days ago, people from Destiny Valley approached the Empress Dowager and wanted me to go to Destiny Valley. I guess they probably annoyed the Empress Dowager and her elders, that's why there are such rumors.

This kind of rumor is at most an expression of dissatisfaction, and it was often used in the past.Do you really believe that goddesses can get pregnant?Unless sows can climb trees. "

"That's it."

Qingluo was a little disappointed.

Chapter 376 The truth is approaching!

Wuhe Peak is located in the north of Dongzhou City.

This place used to be the place where the last prince of the previous dynasty died, and it was one of the few peaceful places when Dongzhou was at its most chaotic.

Of course, it's not just a mountain.

As early as the Tianqi period, there was an astronomical spectacle here. Later, some powerful monks jointly set up a dojo to sense the way of heaven.

Gradually, this place was abandoned again, and a Taoist temple was established.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the Taoist temple also fell into ruins, and it is submerged by weeds today.

The reason why King Yunzheng chose to bury his wife here was because there were family members buried here in the palace before.Secondly, this place is a treasure land of geomantic omen after all.

As the envoy of Suzaku, Bai Xianyu naturally needs to come to attend the burial ceremony of the princess.

Chen Mu originally planned to go to Nanfeng Duo to find Yun Zhiyue first, but after thinking about it, he decided to go to Wuhe Peak with Bai Xianyu to see the situation after pretending.

To save that bastard from accusing Bai Xianyu for no reason like last time.

The trees are verdant and the weeds are swaying in the wind.

There is a coolness in the air.

The cut yellow paper is flying all over the sky, carrying a sense of sadness.

Compared with the burial specifications of the magistrate's wife before, the size of the princess is much smaller. Even if the officials who came to condolences are not as good as Mrs. Du's before.

It can be seen from this that Prince Yunzheng's status in Dongzhou is very low.

"I heard that the prince will stay here for seven days. This is rare, after all, everyone has already been buried."

Chen Mu looked at the prince who was kneeling in front of the grave and cried in a low voice.

The eyes of Bai Xianyu's mask flickered with a faint light: "It is one of the customs of the Yiyuan people. It is said that it can make the dead reincarnate with peace of mind."

Reincarnate with peace of mind...

Chen Mu smiled, disapproving.
