My Lady Is Not A Demon
Chapter 155
Chapter 154 The mystery is revealed and bursts! (7,000 words for subscription)
The men and women died young and did not marry.
The male is a single habitation room, and the female is alone in the spring palace.
The stranger was a good matchmaker, and the two surnames were sent to each other, the two families and Xu, and the bones were in the same coffin, and the tombs were shared together.
——This is **!
Chen Mu had also heard of this bad habit before.
** Divided into two situations: One is [Marriage of Life and Death]. One is [Deadly Marriage].
Marriage of life and death is the marriage of the living and the dead. If the deceased is a woman, it is called marrying a ghost wife. If the deceased is a man, it is called a marriage.
Obviously, Lin Mengyuan is married.
A death-to-death marriage is a coffin held by relatives for the two deceased.
This bad habit was very common in ancient times, and even in the early modern period, there are many real events in the dark, which is shocking.
“Unexpectedly, Lin Mengyuan would have encountered an affair.”
Chen Mu’s heart shook: “In other words, Lin Mengyuan died of suffocation in the coffin. The reason why she sewed her mouth with needles and thread is also a custom, for fear that a woman would go to the Yincao Difu to avenge her grievances!”
But since it is a sex, why is there only a bride and no groom here?
Who is the dead husband she married?
“Yin Ying Gu!”
At this moment, Yun Zhiyue, who lifted the hem of the bride’s wedding dress, looked at the dark brown liquid body beneath the corpse with an ugly expression.
Chen Mu didn’t know why: “What Yin Ying Gu?”
Wenmingren also changed his face and explained: “After the sexual intercourse, if the woman is pregnant, it will cause divine condemnation, which will incubate Yin Infant Gu.”
Are you pregnant?
Chen Mu looked at Lin Mengyuan abruptly, the emotions in his eyes were eaten away by the shock: “In other words, Lin Mengyuan was pregnant before she died.”
and many more!
At this moment he suddenly thought of Cuckoo.
Like Lin Mengyuan, Dujuan’s births are all overcast years, overcast years, overcast days, overcast days, and belong to the ‘eight-character full yin’, and they are both pregnant.
Chen Mu murmured: “So, Cuckoo’s body is Yin Ying Gu, she helped people absorb Yin Ying Gu!”
Yun Zhiyue’s expression is complicated: “That’s right, if you want to dissolve Yin Yin Gu, you must find a person who matches the birth date and the pregnancy period. Use the child in your stomach to suck out the Yin Yin Gu from the other person.”
NS!
Chen Mu couldn’t help but kicked the mound next to him, with blue veins on his forehead, and a raging anger on his chest.
Is there any humanity in this special?
However, Chen Mu was still puzzled: “Based on the situation of Cuckoo at the time, she was forced to have intercourse with others, but Lin Mengyuan’s body is here, how did she attract Gu?”
“It shows that Yin Ying Gu has been transferred to other people.” Yun Zhiyue said.
“Who?”
“Don’t you think there is a missing person in the coffin?”
“…”
Chen Mu opened his mouth wide, and a cold chill crawled towards his back like a spider.
Yun Zhiyue said indifferently: “This is not an ordinary sex, I will tell you a story. A long time ago, there was a woman whose sweetheart passed away unfortunately. When she was heartbroken, she met an immortal. The immortal gave She had a jade charm, telling her that she could go to the ghost realm and use this jade charm to rescue the sweetheart of own.
So she went to the ghost realm with great pains, but she did not expect King Yama not to let her save people, because she and her lover did not have any contractual fetters.
So the woman put on a red wedding gown, held an affair with her deceased sweetheart, concluded a husband-and-wife contract, and finally entered the ghost realm to save her sweetheart. But the price is that she… stayed in the ghost domain forever. ”
Looking at Lin Mengyuan wearing a red wedding gown in the coffin, Chen Mu said bitterly: “Do you think she is voluntary?””Heh~”
Yun Zhiyue Ying’s lips stretched. “She wore this wedding dress herself, the red hijab was covered by herself, and the embroidered shoes were worn by herself, but whether she entered the coffin voluntarily… I’ll say something else.
In addition, this story is a story after all, but the story is also adapted from reality, such as the Living Dead Gu in Northern Xinjiang. ”
She took out a yellowed ancient book, found a page of records and handed it to Chen Mu: “You can read it.”
Chen Mu took the ancient book and looked down.
After a long time, he let out a stale breath and slowly closed his eyes.
A scene faintly appeared in his mind.
The girl got the promise from her lover, and she happily put on the red wedding gown given to her by her lover, and with the longing for a happy life in the future, she walked towards the flower bridge step by step…
However, she didn’t know that it was not a flower bridge, but a coffin standing horizontally.
The horizontal view is a coffin, and the vertical view is a sedan.
**Start.
Chen Mu clenched his fists, his sharp nails stabbed in his palms, and murmured:
“I think I already probably understand Ji Kou’s real purpose, and I also understand… the real secret hidden under the Pingyang Palace.”
“what?”
Suddenly, Yun Zhiyue let out a suspicion.
Chen Mu looked at each other: “What’s the matter?”
Yun Zhiyue carefully pulled out a piece of hair from the back of Lin Mengyuan’s neck. It should be said that it was a thin line that looked like a hair.
“It seems…”
She frowned and thought, raising her head to look at Wenmingren, “Can you see it?”
Wenmingren was puzzled at first, then his face changed.
“What’s the matter?”
Chen Mu is inexplicable.
Yun Zhiyue put the thin thread in his hand and said lightly: “Another secret technique has been performed on her body.”
…
Back to the six doors, two hours have passed since the time agreed with Vermillion Bird Hall.
Chen Mu entered the independent courtyard, took out a sheet of rice paper, wrote all the information on it, and then pressed a nail on the wall.
The entire wall is completely covered with paper, and there are clues to the case on it.
As far as Hong Mansion, near Pingyang Palace.
As small as the cuckoo case, as large as the civet cat prince case.
Including some trivial events from Charon:
For example, the fat prince of Pingyang used to have two sons. The elder son stumbled and fell off his horse when he was out hunting, and was kicked to pieces.
For example, the princess used to be demure and dignified, but then she had fornication with her own guard.
For example, although the second wife and the third wife did not meet the requirements of a good wife, they did not do anything good, and then they gradually became sluts.
It can be said that the entire Pingyang Palace was messed up.
“Head of the class!”
A sweaty Zhang Awei ran in panting, “Grandma’s, tired…I’m exhausted…”
“Why are you back soon? What happened to your account.”
Chen Mu quickly poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.
Zhang Awei looked up and drank several mouthfuls, sitting in a chair and gasping for breath, trying to calm down his emotions, and took out a stack of text from his arms.”Give you.”
Chen Mu opened the text and scanned it carefully.
When he turned to the third page, the expression on his face suddenly froze, his eyes were full of weirdness, and he laughed twice: “Awesome.”
“Team leader, what should I do now?”
Zhang Awei asked.
Chen Mu waved his hand: “You go out first, close the door, don’t let anyone disturb me, remember, I’m talking about anyone!”
“good.”
Zhang Awei nodded, walked out of the house quickly, locked the door and guarded outside.
“With less than one hour left, the fate of your Pingyang Palace is in the hands of Daddy.”
Chen Mu took two deep breaths, wrote the information in his hand on paper, nailed it to the wall, then pulled a chair and sat in the middle of the room, with his hands wrapped around his chest, staring at the information on the wall of paper, and began to sort out.
Time ticked by.
At this moment, it seemed that he was the only person in this world, and the surroundings were pitch black.
There was only a wall covered with clue papers.
The font on the paper seemed to float, swimming slowly in front of Chen Mu’s eyes, and then combined with the information on another piece of paper.
Slowly, countless papers flew up on their own, spinning around Chen Mu.
Clues are categorized, and pieces of information emerge in front of you, such as filtering codes to unearth more hidden secrets.
I don’t know how long it took, and Chen Mu, who moved like a sculpture, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
“Although there are still some doubts, it is basically enough for now.”
Chen Mu tore all the paper off the wall and walked out of the small courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, Hei Ling was arguing with Zhang Awei, his face was pale.
Although Zhang Awei’s face was pale and his calf trembling, he still stood in front of the door, and the sweat on his forehead was like a waterfall.
It’s really hard for Little Awei to stop the head of Charon at the door.
Seeing Chen Mu coming out, Hei Ling’s face was a little slow, and he asked politely, “Chen catches his head, the time is coming, and there seems to be something wrong with the palace. If you don’t round up now, I’m afraid something will happen.”
“Don’t worry, the case has been solved, and I basically know the secrets of the palace.”
“What’s the secret?”
Hei Ling’s eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
“I can’t tell you yet.” Chen Mu sold it off.
Hei Ling was anxious and didn’t dare to get angry at Chen Mu, and asked in a deep voice, “Can the Pingyang Palace be rounded up now?”
“Wait first.”
Chen Mu called A Wei over and whispered a few words in his ear.
“Head of the team, this is not appropriate.”
Zhang Awei grimaced.
Seeing Chen Mu staring at him coldly, he nodded: “Okay, I see.”
With a smile on his face, Chen Mu said to Heiling: “We are divided into two groups. You and my subordinate will go down to round up the Pingyang Palace, but when round up, you have to listen to him. I and your Vermillion Bird ask the adults to go to another place. One place, wait for the rabbit.”
With that said, Chen Mu handed a note to the other party:
“Let Vermillion Bird meet me in this place, it’s best to bring more masters.”
Hei Ling looked down at the address on the note, took a deep look at Chen Mu, whispered “I got it”, and turned to leave.
After walking a few steps, seeing Zhang Awei following a long distance away from her, Liu eyebrows were erected, and he shouted: “Can you go faster, like a little lady, don’t you want me to carry you!?”
Zhang Awei was taken aback, and hurriedly followed, muttering in a low voice: “This lady is really fierce.”…
As the sun sets, the sky is half-bright and half-dark.
The clouds in the sky are like a brocade, and the trees towering into the clouds are engulfed into burning torches, which is dazzling.
When the Envoy Vermillion Bird arrived, he saw Chen Mu sitting on the top of the hill, his eyes closed slightly.
A shark-tooth knife stood beside him, cold and dazzling.
The cold wind blows, and the robe of clothes flutters.
At this moment, he seemed to separate all the mundane noise from his body.
“You came.”
Feeling the sound of footsteps approaching behind him, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes burst out like ink.
In an instant, there was an aura of a worldly superior.
Bai Xianyu’s mouth twitched.
“You shouldn’t—”
“Hurry up, time is running out, what secret have you discovered!” Vermillion Bird asked in a cold voice.
Chen Mu coughed dryly, got up and said respectfully with cupped hands:
“My lord, the next official is already convinced that own judgment is right. If you rashly rounded up the Pingyang Palace at that time, it would definitely allow them to escape, and now… we can play a good game of waiting.”
“Stand back and wait for the rabbit?”
Vermillion Bird made a suspicious look across his eyes.
Chen Mu’s face showed a bright smile: “Or it can be said that the mantis catches the cicada, Huang… Vermillion Bird is a good show later.”
“What are you talking about?” Bai Xianyu was really angry.
The old husband and wife are in love, but at such a critical moment, you still play with me, go home and kneel on the washboard.
“My lord, what do you think it is?”
Realizing that he was a little floating, Chen Mu hurriedly corrected his attitude and pointed to a building not far away——
Vermillion Bird was taken aback, and slightly narrowed the cold eyes hidden behind the mask.
That is a mausoleum.
A… a mausoleum leading to the outer city.
——
The setting sun sank a little bit, and the bustling streets gradually fell into the cold, and once again fell into a cycle of silence.
Rows of houses on the side of the road were illuminated by the last afterglow.
Hong Dalang, who had sold the buns, carried an empty steamer into his house. The Yinlian just after bathing in the house was wiping his wet hair.
The woman wore an emerald green shirt, revealing a little white skin, crystal clear like jade powder.
“Lady, business is good today, and the buns are all sold out.”
Hong Dalang always said those words before entering the door, with a simple smile on his face, his rickety body seemed to be bent by the load on his shoulders.
“The food is ready.”
Yinlian squeezed out a smile, but there was disgust in her eyes.
If it wasn’t for Fox Demon to seduce men, if it wasn’t for the deception, how could she marry such a dwarfed male crap.
“The lady has worked hard.”
Hong Dalang smiled and nodded, went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of rice, and asked casually. “Why is Wang Po’s teahouse closed? Did something go out?”
Yinlian placed the slightly shifted vase and said, “I don’t know about my concubine. I haven’t opened the door all day today.”
The bowl in Hong Dalang’s hand had a meal.
He raised his head to look at the charming lady, frowned and asked, “Isn’t it open for business all day?”
“Yes, I guess I went back to my hometown.”
Seeing the position of the vase intact and symmetrical, Yinlian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled beautifully at her husband.
Hong Dalang slowly lowered his head, sitting on the chair without knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, Yinlian occasionally caught a glimpse of two oil stains on her husband’s clothes, one on the left and the other on the right. They were a bit symmetrical, but their positions were offset.
The woman frowned, she turned around and wiped her hair silently.
But a few seconds later, I couldn’t help turning around to look, the hand holding the towel was slightly clenched, and the back of his hand appeared blue.
She took a deep breath, walked to her husband and laughed softly: “Husband, your clothes are dirty, let your concubine wash you.”
“no need.”
Hong Dalang got up and walked into the kitchen, took a rusty knife from the cabinet, and came to the sharpening stone.
Dip it with water and rub it slowly one by one.
Yinlian followed, smiling somewhat reluctantly: “Husband, it’s not too late to chop the stuffing after you have eaten, take off your clothes first, and wash your concubine.”
Hong Dalang bent his body and sharpened his knife silently.
The sound was harsh and sharp.
Yinlian closed her eyes, tried to suppress the emotions in her heart, and said with a smile: “Husband, let the concubine body wash.”
“…”
“Husband?”
“…”
“Take off your clothes and let—concubine go to wash—okay?”
“…”
“I said take off my clothes!!!”
The woman has a hideous face, her snow-white charming face is full of cyan, her eyes are cold, her fingers are slowly twisted.
Hong Dalang hadn’t heard of it, leaning over to sharpen his knife.
The woman took out a short knife and came to Hong Dalang’s back, lying on the back of the man’s neck, her voice sounded like a ghost: “You forced me!”
She slammed down her short knife.
Click!
The blade broke and opened.
But the woman slammed heavily on the wall, spouting a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, staring at Hong Dalang who seemed to have completely changed before her eyes in amazement.
Hong Dalang stood up, the kitchen knife in his hand had been sharpened sharply.
He said lightly, “Do you know why I agreed to marry you? Because the old lady opposite has been monitoring me, and it annoys me… So, someone has to divert her attention, even a little bit.”
The woman stared brightly, staring in horror at the simple and honest man in front of her, her brain was down.
She couldn’t think that the other party turned out to be a master.
It turns out that the clown is myself.
“I know you have a secret.”
Hong Dalang walked to the woman, ripped her clothes, stripped the other person naked, and said while looking at the exquisite and delicate body. “But I am not interested, just like… I am not interested in your body.”
This is undoubtedly too hurtful.
It’s like salt is sprinkled on the wound.
The woman wanted to get up and pick up the broken blade to slash it with her hideous cheeks, but she was slapped and slapped several times in succession.
The cheeks are high and swollen, like a pig’s head.
Seeing the kitchen knife in the man’s hand drop little by little, she suddenly thought of something, and took a pinch of a magic talisman in her arms.
Peng!
Green smoke rises.
After a second, the woman’s figure disappeared in the kitchen.
“I’m not interested in you.”
A sneer of disdain broke out from the corner of Hong Dalang’s mouth. He looked through the window and looked at the Wang Po Teahouse opposite, muttering: “It should be an accident. It seems…you have to understand this grievance in advance.”
The moon is black and the wind is high-Murder Night.
——
Within the imperial city.
The Hades who had been ambushing quietly guarded a mile outside the Pingyang Palace like a bat, and the air was filled with murderous air.
Hei Lingxiu, dressed in black and scaly, stared at the palace closely, her expression unconcealed with anxiety.
“When will it start!”
She looked at Zhang Awei, who was timid and fearful beside her, and couldn’t help asking.
This wicked lady.
Zhang Awei whispered a slander and shook his head: “The time has not yet come.”
“boom!”
Hei Ling slapped the stone brick next to him. The latter instantly turned into a dusty powder. Zhang Awei shrank and stretched away.
After about half of the incense, Zhang Awei raised his head and looked at the sky, calculated silently in his heart, and said: “The time is almost there, start the round up!”
Upon hearing this, Heiling immediately issued an order: “Strike!”
Countless black giant eagle dogs swept high into the sky like locusts and flew towards the Pingyang Palace, covering the sky.
In the dark, thousands of Dark Guards rushed to the palace, surrounding the palace.
Shoo!
A series of arrows, wrapped in sharp thorns, fell on the high wall of the palace, igniting a bluish-white flame, and the flame stretched out, as if day.
“Catch alive!”
Heiling drew his long sword and shouted sharply.
Hundreds of masters swept across the high wall behind him, screaming, crying, and clashing swords in the palace… Under the light of the fire, they became a mess.
“go!”
Hei Ling wanted to go in with a little toe, but Zhang Awei was seen standing there blankly, cursing in vain, grabbing the latter’s shoulder, and rushing towards the courtyard.
The latter screamed in fright, and subconsciously hugged the opponent’s waist.
As a result, the hand grabbed the wrong position.
Before he could react, he was kicked and kicked directly into the garden garden.
Zhang Awei ate the grass with his mouth full, got up in embarrassment, his dizzy head was not yet awake, and a pair of stern eyes stared at him coldly: “Follow me, don’t run around!”
After speaking, Heiling carried the knife and ran towards the inner courtyard.
Zhang Awei quickly followed.
However, after the chaos, Charon searched all corners of the palace. Except for the princess and a few concubines, no figures of the prince, Ji Kou, etc. were found.
The other party seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Interrogating the captured guards and servants, none of them knew, but they had seen them before.
“There is a secret road!”
Hei Ling’s heart shuddered and shouted. “Search it for me, and find out by digging three feet!”Zhang Awei murmured: “No, my boss must have been waiting for them, wait and see if you have heard of it.”
Snapped!
A slap in the face slapped it, although it was not heavy, it was not light.
Zhang Awei was stunned: “What I said is true, why hit me?”
Hei Ling ignored him, and after giving orders to his subordinates, he came to a room by himself and untied his clothes——
Looking at the bruise on it, he exploded in anger.
“I really want to chop off that dog’s paw!”
——
The sound of tiny footsteps reminded me of the long, cold passage.
This is an artificially excavated underpass. The range covered by the blue gravel extends from the foot and the cave wall to the top. The project is huge.
After turning around a few long and winding holes, I heard the sound of the rushing river…
That is south of the canal.
Ji Kou, with a pale complexion, walked in front, a pair of eagle-like eyes gleaming with countless emotions, and his hand holding his handkerchief was a little pale.
Why is this happening?
When he realized that his wife had an accident, it was too late.
Charon had long been ambushing outside.
But what he couldn’t figure out was how Wang Po revealed her identity. After all, the other party had been with the palace for more than 20 years and was extremely cautious in doing things.
Could it be that Chen Mu found out?
From the time when the opponent entered the palace, Ji Kou realized that this guy was a difficult opponent in the future, so he asked the prince to kill him.
Although I pay attention to it, there is still a trace of contempt in my heart.
After all, the other party is just a small head catcher, not a fairy. However, the sudden situation now made him lose his usual calmness, and he didn’t understand what went wrong.
But it’s useless to think about it now, and that thing must be moved away as soon as possible.
If found by Charon, the consequences would be disastrous.
Behind him was Hong’e. Although his face was horrified and uneasy, a sneer appeared at the corners of his lips with his occasionally drooping head.
The prince, who was as fat as a pig, was supported by a close dead man, panting and sweating profusely.
Finally, the group came to the mausoleum.
This is the mausoleum of Ji Zhonghai, the former prince of Pingyang. After Ji Zhonghai committed suicide that year, the first emperor specially built this tomb for him in consideration of his sentiments.
Distributed in the outer city, guarded in the inner city, through the second.
“Light up!”
Ji Kou covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and ordered the dead man around him.
Wow–
However, as soon as his voice fell, a stone lamp suddenly lit up inside the tomb, and the entire space was suddenly illuminated.
At the same time, the countless galactic guards wearing high-grade lin armor are greeted by the eyes.
Everyone was stunned.
Ji Kou’s pupils contracted, looking at the Charon masters around him, his brain went down completely for a while.
“Flap! Pop! Pop!”
After lighting a stone lamp, Chen Mu clapped his palms and asked Ji Kou: “Second Lord, do you have any more orders? Should I show you a piece of undress? An exciting show?”
The Vermillion Bird in the dark makes his face black.
“Chen! Shepherd!”
These two words almost burst out of Ji Kou’s teeth, and the person he least wanted to see appeared here. It seemed that his previous guess was correct.
The Wang Po’s accident really has something to do with Chen Mu.
“Cough cough cough…”
Just as Ji Kou was about to say something, he coughed violently.
“Second Lord!”
Hong’e quickly supported him.
Ji Kou swallowed the scarlet blood in his mouth and looked at Chen Mu with a particularly cold gaze. He mocked himself: “You really are—”
puff! !
Just halfway through the words, a cold dagger pierced his lower abdomen fiercely.
All the people present were stunned, including Chen Mu.
“It shouldn’t. Can’t you just wait for a while and let me pretend to be forced to act.”
Chen Mu was silent.
Ji Kou stared blankly at the maid who had been with him for more than ten years…No, it should be his biological daughter, with infinite pain in his eyes.
boom!
The guard who reacted in time shot Hong’e out. Just as he was about to chop off, Ji Kou said anxiously: “Don’t kill her!”
He looked at Hong’e with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and squeezed a pale smile: “Why?”
This girl is his biological daughter.
He has been with him since he was six years old. Except for that secret, all other secrets were not hidden by her.
Of course, he killed each other’s adoptive parents before taking it away.
But at this moment–
“Hahaha……”
Hong’e laughed, Xiuli’s face was full of revenge-like pleasure, but also with extreme pain and resentment, “You are such a fool, haha! Just like the innocent Lin Da Miss back then, you are all fools! Haha… …”
Ji Kou sat on the ground, clutching his abdomen, and asked softly: “Do you know who I am?”
“Who? Isn’t it the second master of Pingyang Palace?”
“I am your father.”
“…”
Seeing Hong’e’s shocked expression, his face was full of bitterness, “I don’t know who you are bewitched by, but…I am indeed your father.”
“no, I can not……”
Hong’e shook her head with an incredulous expression on her face.
But slowly, she covered her belly and laughed, tears of laughter came out.
Ji Kou calmly looked at her: “I know you won’t believe it. You want to avenge your adoptive parents, who told you?”
However, the girl just smiled, with countless sadness and emotions in her smile.
“I know, and I believe it.”
Hong’e looked at him, a cruel smile slowly cracked at the corner of her mouth. “Second Lord, have you already experienced that kind of taste now? That kind of painful taste?”
Ji Kou frowned, as if he didn’t quite understand the other side’s reaction.
Chen Mu sighed:
“Second master, second master, don’t you understand? Let me explain to you.”
Chen Mu smiled playfully, pointed to Hong’e, and said every word: “She is not Hong’e at all, she is-Lin! Meng! Yuan!”
