My Lady Is Not A Demon

Chapter 351 The corpse in the secret road!

The old Longpan Mountain in the past does not refer to the real Longpan Mountain in later generations.

It is located in Dayun Mountain, Haigu County, Dongzhou.

In the early years, there were many anti-inflammatory forces in the chaotic East State, and one of them was led by the Chen family.

They were entrenched in Dayun Mountain from the beginning.

Later, due to internal fighting, the Chen family moved to Longpan Mountain, Zezhou in the southwest, and eventually developed into the main force there.

And Longpanshan has become synonymous with the Chen family.

Therefore, when people mentioned it, they would call Dayun Mountain in Haigu County in Dongzhou as the old place of Longpan Mountain.

“Why does Steward Zhao go there?”

Chen Mu was puzzled.

Ji Wuming said: “The weird thing is that after I followed him into Dayun Mountain, I lost him. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. I guess there should be some secret path there. I didn’t try to avoid the grass and startling snakes. I didn’t check it carefully. ”

Chen Mu was silent, not knowing what he was thinking about.

After a while, he asked again: “You said that Steward Zhao and Lord Murong Ruo are very alienated, what’s the situation?”

“I asked Murong Pingda Miss in detail last night.”

When Ji Wuming said this, his expression was a little unnatural, he coughed dryly, and continued.

“On weekdays, Lord Murong Ruo and Steward Zhao belonged to a master-servant relationship, but there was basically not much communication. Moreover, Murong Ping said that her father had expressed dissatisfaction with Steward Zhao several times before.”

These words made Chen Mu keenly aware of something wrong.

With the identity and character of the master Murong Ruo, if he didn’t like this butler, he would have replaced it a long time ago, but why has he kept it until now.

It shows that Lord Murong Ruo can’t fire this person.

Then there can only be one explanation-

This housekeeper Zhao… was actually sent by the people behind the scenes to supervise Master Murong Ruo!

“Oh, it’s interesting.”

Chen Mu closed his eyes, sorted out the information he knew in his mind, and said lightly. “This force behind the scenes is very powerful. It can not only control the top level of the Tiandihui, but also control the position of the top administrative official of the Eastern State. Even… the army may be controlled.”

Ji Wuming nodded: “Dongzhou has always been the most chaotic, but it’s suddenly peaceful in recent years. If you look at the current situation, the people behind the scenes obviously want to make Dongzhou the second capital.”

The second capital…

If this is the case, it means that those behind the scenes have the confidence to re-establish a government.

Chen Mu had a headache, knocked on his head, and suddenly thought of a question.

How much did the Queen Mother know about Dongzhou City?

She sent me here as an undercover agent this time. Is it really a simple exploration of the treasure robbed by the chief rudder of the Heaven and Earth Society?

Chen Mu couldn’t figure it out and didn’t bother to go into it.

As the lady said, in the eyes of the superior, they will always be just chess pieces.

“Give me the specific location and I’ll see it.”

Chen Mu said.

…

After getting the address where Manager Zhao went, Chen Mu took Su Qiao’er to explore Dayun Mountain.

After all, the little snake spirit has a keen sense of smell, and it is very good to be a tool person.

Dayun Mountain is huge and the mountains are majestic.

When Chen Mu and Su Qiao’er entered the valley along the small intestine path, it was already noon, and the swarming bees and butterflies were constantly flying around.

“Ji Wuming said that he tracked down that Steward Zhao was probably missing in this place. No surprise, there should be some secret road nearby. Qiao’er, you should investigate here first, and I’ll take a look over there.”

Chen Mu patted Su Qiaoer’s fragrant shoulder and said.

“good.”

Su Qiao’er nodded, her soft waist turned into a snake body and searched in a snake-like state.

Chen Mu went to another area to search.

The mountain wind slashed his face with knife-like sharpness.

In the valley where many anti-thieves once inhabited, it seemed that there was still a smell of cooking mist and blood after being wiped out.

Chen Mu looked around.

For some reason, he inexplicably thought of the young master of Longpanshan.

Although there is no trace of this young master Chen that can be found at present, there have been more and more records about Longpan Mountain recently.

Even Chen Mu felt that the black hand behind the scenes might also be related to Longpan Mountain.

Can Longpanshan resurrect?

It shouldn’t.

The young master hadn’t heard from him for so long, indicating that he was indeed tired of the life of killing and chose to live in seclusion.

“Chen Mu, come here!”

I have to say that the efficiency of the Little Snake Spirit is still very high. He sniffed out something unusual in less than ten minutes, and hurriedly called Chen Mu over.

Chen Mu rushed over, but only an ordinary mountain wall was in his field of vision.

He knocked on the tough mountain wall, and said speechlessly: “You can’t find a mistake, do you have any clues.”

Su Qiao’er, who was transformed into a beautiful girl again, had apricot eyes with smart eyes, and pursed her red lips slightly and said, “What are you doing? I can smell a trace of blood in this mountain wall.”

The smell of blood?

Chen Mu was taken aback, looking at the dark and cold mountain wall, his eyes flickering.

He raised his arm and put his palm on the mountain wall, pushing hard, but the mountain wall didn’t move at all. After using his full strength again, he still couldn’t break open.

However, Chen Mu faintly saw a little complicated rune gleaming on the mountain wall.

This is a door.

Chen Mu has been determined.

It’s just that this door is sealed by special Restrictions, it can’t be forcibly excavated, it can only be opened with a specific object.

Su Qiao’er looked around again and shook her head and said, “There is only this entrance.”

“Others can’t, I still have a way to get in.”

Chen Mu’s eyes flickered.

He motioned to Su Qiao’er to change back to the form of a snake, put it in his arms, and then released some foreign objects to adhere to the stone gate.

Chen Mu closed his eyes, and as his thoughts fluctuated, a chill suddenly hit his whole body.

I opened my eyes and found that I was in a long corridor.

There are lighting beads inlaid on both sides of the corridor.

In addition, there are flints that can be seen everywhere, like seeds densely planted in the rock wall.

Obviously this is a secret tunnel that has been dug manually.

And in general, it felt very similar to the mountain road that Shao Siming had passed by before.

However, compared to the old tunnel that has been obsolete, the secret tunnel in front of him at this moment is undoubtedly a lot newer, and footprints can obviously be seen on the ground.

Chen Mu took the Little Snake Spirit out of his arms and said with a triumphant smile: “Although my space transfer technique can only move in a small area at present, it’s enough to enter a secret tunnel.”

“Chen Mu, you are really good.”

The restored little girl has beautiful eyes, and her white and greasy face is full of admiration.

“You’re still a good girl.”

Chen Mu smiled and squeezed the other’s Qiong nose, and led the girl slowly towards the depths of the tunnel to explore.

About twenty minutes later, the same empty hall appeared in front of the two of them. The only difference is that there are no idols and refining gu worm ponds in this mountain hall, only a small lake.

The lake is not clear, with a bit of turbidity, and four stone pillars full of spiritual patterns can be seen rising on the surface of the water.

“Where is this? Is it just a meeting place?”

After patrolling the surroundings for a few times, Chen Mu locked his gaze in the lake.

Puff!

Chen Mu jumped into the lake, and Su Qiao’er jumped down with them.

What is strange is that the lake is not as cold as imagined, but contains a hint of warmth.

After reaching the bottom of the lake, it was found that the water depth was only three meters high, and it felt like a lake dug by hand.

There are no plants such as algae at the bottom of the lake.

Chen Mu swam a few times at the bottom of the lake, only to see a circle of red stones and four nailed stone pillars underneath, nothing else.

After confirming that no clues could be found, Chen Mu took Su Qiao’er ashore.

“Housekeeper Zhao must be here for a reason. The strange thing is what the guy did, and where are people going now.”

Using Spiritual Qi to dry the wet clothes, Chen Mu sat on the rock next to him and thought.

Su Qiao’er sat aside obediently with her legs closed, without disturbing him.

Perhaps it was bored after waiting for too long, so he gently put his head on the man’s lap and stared at the muddy lake in a daze.

The beautiful snow 靥 is steaming with a little light haze, which is indescribable.

After watching for a while, the girl turned her head again to look at Chen Mu’s cheek.

But at the moment she turned her head to the side, she couldn’t help but looked towards the top of the hall, and then she screamed and sat up in shock.

“What’s wrong?”

Chen Mu looked at the panicked little girl questioningly.

The girl paled her cheeks and pointed to the top of her head: “Up…upper…”

Chen Mu looked up and saw a corpse nailed to the top of the mountain hall. The corpse’s eyes were still open, as if looking directly at them.

At this moment, even Chen Mu had a cold back, holding the little girl back a few steps.

When he observed carefully, he found that the corpse turned out to be the lord of the high altar!

That’s right!

It is the master of the high altar who has been missing for several days!

That Nanfengduo high altar master who had entered the capital with Murongping to save Ji Wuming and later had a good relationship with him!

“I thought he realized that he had been exposed and ran away, but he didn’t expect to die.”

Chen Mu felt unable to tell what it was like.

Through the previous clues, we can know that Gao Tanzhu and Ma Tengzi’s daughter, Zha Zhuxiang, are in the same group.

This guy seemed to have pitted him and Yun Zhiyue in the temple last time.

Never thought the corpse appeared here.

Chen Mu motioned Su Qiao’er to step aside, relying on things from outside the sky to stick to the corpse at the top of the cave, and observe carefully.

Judging from the condition of the body, it has been six or seven days since he was dead.

It’s just that there is a layer of powder around the corpse, which makes the decay rate of the corpse not so fast.

“It was because someone crushed his throat and died.”

Chen Mu said lightly. “It looks like it was killed by someone head-on, and the corpse was deliberately nailed here, which meant that it was specifically humiliating.”

Who killed the high altar master?

Butler Zhao?

Chen Mu tentatively searched the other’s clothes, but unfortunately there was nothing.

“If the master of the high altar is in the same group as the headless bride, Zha Zhuxiang, then he also has his share in the assassination of the master of the high altar. It’s just why he promised to go to the capital with Murong Miss to save Ji Wu’s life, could it be—”

Chen Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and a bold guess faintly in his heart.

hostage?

Yes, I want to take Murongping as a hostage!

Judging from the resume of the lord of the altar at the Tiandihui, he can be regarded as a veteran employee, but in the end he was only the lord of the altar.

He should have been moved by Zha Zhuxiang’s interests to cooperate.

Because judging from his prestige and achievements in Nanfeng Ruo, if the Lord Murong Ruo dies, then he has a high probability of being the next rudder.

And the day Lord Murong Ruo was killed was obviously arranged in advance.

The patrolling security guard did not arrive in time.

Several masters were also specially brought to the capital by the high altar master to save Ji Wusheng…

It created sufficient conditions for the assassination of Cha Zhuxiang.

And because of his temperament, he didn’t dare to take too much risk, so he simply agreed to go with Murong Da Miss to the capital to save people.

On the surface it was out of good intentions.

But in fact, if Zha Zhuxiang fails in his assassination, he can take Murongping as a hostage and give himself a chance to get out.

Besides, it was on the riverside that day.

As soon as their ship passed, there was an incident where the bride’s head was broken, which should be a signal sent by both parties.

Of course, these are only temporary inferences from Chen Mu.

Since the lord of the high altar is dead, now we can only find Zha Zhuxiang to understand the true truth of the matter.

Chen Mu thought silently for a long time, and said to Su Qiaoer: “Let’s go, let’s leave here first, and then check other places.”

“Um.”

The girl lightly tapped her head.

Using the technique of space to walk out of the tunnel, Chen Mu and Su Qiaoer walked down the mountain road on the other side of Dayun Mountain.

As he walked to the foot of the mountain, a familiar figure suddenly came into Chen Mu’s eyes.

Red bamboo!
