The Whole World Is My Crematorium

Xiao Yu'an was stunned for a while, and didn't know what to do for a while.

It was agreed that Xiao Du is practicing sword with his younger brother, so he won't be back for a while?If he heard the conversation between Meng Chi and himself, Meng Chi would have to be punished.Xiao Yu'an remained silent, watching the situation quietly.

Meng Chi remained calm, and said, "Young Master Xiao came here on his own initiative and asked about the whereabouts of Senior Brother Gu Louyin."

Xiao Du said slowly: "Really."

Meng Chi felt relieved, and asked, "Why did your lord come back suddenly, but young lord, he..."

Xiao Du said: "I forgot something, come back and get it."

Meng Chi: "What has your lord forgotten?"

After this sentence was finished, whoever had withdrawn his spiritual power, Xiao Yu'an could not hear anything else.At this moment, he didn't have time to think about it blindly, his mind was full of what Meng Chi said just now.He never imagined that his pig-headed junior brother would come to Xing Tianzong to find him, and even took a slap from Xiao Du for him.People who don't know the relationship between their brothers and sisters will probably think that they are brothers and sisters when they hear this.

But in fact, just like what he said to Gu Louyin, he and his younger brother hated each other and never got along, and things like sugar figures happened too many times.On the surface, Xiao Yu'an never argues with his junior brother, not because he is tolerant, but because [all] ask him to be a good senior brother who treats his junior brother well.If not, he suspects that he would have taken away the ashes of his junior brother long ago.

Half a year ago, the master took him to Xing Tianzong to recognize his relatives. Not only did the junior brother not see him off, he even taunted him, saying that since you have climbed a high branch, don’t come back, your house is mine, and the bed is also mine. If you want to come back, there is no place for you to live.Now Xiao Du doesn't recognize him as his younger brother, and he didn't return to the master's school, isn't this just what the younger brother wants, what is the younger brother doing.

I don't know where he went after he was injured, and how his injury was... Forget it, he deserved to suffer because his temper stinks like that.

For the time being, Xiao Yu put aside the matter of his junior brother and prepared to go to bed to rest.Reluctantly [all] jumped out to teach him how to do things: "Go to Gu Louyin."

Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, there are only three months left, he endured it.He called the servants of the prefect's mansion and asked, "Where is Yizhuang in the city?"

On the outskirts of Luling City, weeds are overgrown, shrouded in mist, and the silence is as dead as death, with the occasional sound of crows flapping their wings.The gate of Yizhuang is open, and there are two lights inside.The smell of Shonai incense is extremely strong, mixed with the smell of rotting corpses, which is disgusting.

Gu Louyin was checking the condition of the three corpses, while Steward Wang of the Prefect's Mansion was standing aside, covering his nose and mouth.Gu Louyin caught the slight sound of footsteps and held the hilt of his sword.

Xiao Yu'an said: "Young Master Gu, it's me."

Gu Louyin let go of his hand, "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried about you. How's the situation?"

Gu Louyin stepped aside and signaled Xiao Yu to watch the case by himself.

Before getting closer, Xiao Yu'an drew a circle around his head with a fan, and then a bubble grew from bottom to top and covered his head. "That way you can't smell the bad smell."

Gu Louyin hesitated to speak, "Can you..." Do something that matches your face?

Xiao Yuan: "What?"

Gu Louyin pursed her lips, "It's nothing."

Steward Wang was dumbfounded, and said in a trembling voice, "Could it be the legendary fairy art?"

"Yes," Xiao Yu'an said with a smile, "Do you want me to set one for you?"

Butler Wang's eyes glowed: "I can't ask for it!"

Gu Louyin couldn't help but said: "There are many kinds of spells, and this is just one of them."

Xiao Yuan asked, "Young Master Gu, do you want it?"

The word "Don't" was written on Gu Louyin's face.

Xiao Yu'an smiled and started to get down to business.As the prefect of Luling said, one of the three corpses was burnt to a scorched corpse, the face of the other was smashed, and the third was dismembered. When put together, there is still an eyeball missing. It can only be seen that they are Two women and one man.

Xiao Yu'an said: "The three murders seem to be all man-made."

Gu Louyin nodded: "Look at the wound."

"That's weird." Ghosts are inhumane, and it's understandable to do some unthinkable things, but it doesn't make sense if they are human beings—killing people, and even making a special trip to the prefect's mansion to throw their bodies, is it just for disgusting people?

Gu Louyin said: "In any case, the identity of the deceased should be confirmed first."

Steward Wang said with a wry smile: "The two elders have also heard from our lord that no one is missing in the manor and in Luling City, so there is nothing we can do about it."

Xiao Yuan walked around the three coffins, and found that each coffin had the word "Shou" engraved on it, so he asked Steward Wang, "Your family's surname is Shou?"

"Exactly."

Gu Louyin thought of something, walked to another coffin not far away, and said, "This is also from your family?"

Steward Wang was startled, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."

"Who."

"It was a concubine my lord took in in the early years. She fell out of favor for many years. She was locked up in the backyard insanely. A while ago, she suddenly hanged herself. There was no natal family to collect her body. My lord asked me to transport the body to Yizhuang."

Gu Louyin frowned slightly, "You said she committed suicide?"

"Yes, hanged."

Xiao Yu'an said: "A person who commits suicide is full of resentment, and it is very easy to turn into a dead body. But I didn't notice a trace of resentment in her. Is it because my cultivation is too low?"

Gu Louyin: "No."

Xiao Yuan asked, "When did she commit suicide?"

Steward Wang replied, "At the end of last month."

Xiao Yu's case remembered that three unnamed corpses also appeared in the prefect's mansion one after another since the end of last month. Is there any connection between them?

Gu Louyin seemed to agree with what he thought, and said, "Open the coffin."

Butler Wang hesitated and said: "This, this is not very good, at least she is an aunt, and she is considered half a master, and everyone says that the dead are the greatest..."

Gu Louyin ignored it, and tapped the coffin board with the scabbard, before the sword was pulled out, the coffin board fell to the ground with a bang.

The woman in the coffin was about [-] years old. There was a ditch in her neck and the tip of her tongue was slightly exposed. She had indeed hanged herself.Even with the tragic death, it can be seen that she was once a beauty.Strangely, Xiao Yu'an still didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment from the corpse.

No matter what Xiao Yu'an thought, he felt something was wrong.A beautiful woman married a fickle man as a concubine, and after falling out of favor, she committed suicide like a madman. Don't you really hate it at all?

His gaze came from the woman's face to her lower abdomen, and he was startled in surprise, "Mr. Gu!"

"I know," Gu Louyin said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Steward Wang said, "Have the two immortal elders finished their investigation?"

"Mmm - Young Master Xiao."

"exist?"

"Your headgear can be taken off."

Back at the Prefect's Mansion, Xiao Yu'an followed Gu Louyin into his room, and couldn't wait to say: "That concubine is pregnant!" His mother suffocated him, and finally he could say it.

Gu Louyin said: "She has been out of favor for many years, how could she be pregnant?"

"Everyone in the prefect's mansion is suspected." Steward Wang is no exception.

Gu Louyin paused because of Xiao Yu's vulgar words, "Yes."

"Master Gu, do you think the three unknown corpses are related to the concubine's death?"

"possible."

"Then let me inquire about the place where my concubine lived before she was alive. Let's go and see together tomorrow?"

"it is good."

The next day, Xiao Yu'an asked a maid about this concubine.The concubine's name is Tong Niang. Ever since she was rejected by the master, she has been living in a small broken courtyard in the backyard. She never goes outside the door. In recent years, only the maid who brought her meals has seen her.

Xiao Yu'an and Gu Louyin didn't want to scare the snake, so they sneaked into the backyard without making a sound.

The backyard of the prefect's mansion was crowded with people, which looked like the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces.I don't know what a good day it is today, the servants of the mansion come and go, busy, the prefect's wives and concubines are all dressed up carefully, as if they are going to some banquet.

Xiao Yu'an wondered, "What are they doing?"

Gu Louyin said: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival.

Xiao Yu'an's face suddenly changed.The acacia Gu in his body happened on the night of the [-]th full moon every month - he was going to be in heat tonight!

Gu Louyin noticed the strangeness of Xiao Yu's case, and said, "Young Master Xiao?"

"Nothing." Xiao Yu'an forced a smile, "Let's go."

The courtyard where Tong Niang lived was dilapidated and small, but it was not as messy as Xiao Yu'an imagined. Looking at the furnishings in the house, it did not look like the residence of a long-lost person.

"The lunatics are starting to like to be clean these days. Or, it was the two maids who delivered meals for her to clean up."

Gu Louyin frowned, "No."

Xiao Yu's case fell silent, feeling nothing, "What's wrong?"

"resentment."

"how do I--"

"This thing is well hidden."

"'Things'? You mean..." Xiao Yu'an looked around. Many objects in the house were covered with a layer of white cloth. Could it be that someone deliberately wanted to hide this "thing"?

Gu Louyin's eyes flicked over the square table, the bed, the wooden cabinet one by one, and finally landed on a certain place.

Xiao Yuan asked, "Want to see it?"

"Hmm." Gu Louyin pulled out his sword, picked up the white cloth with the tip of the sword, and a dressing table for women suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Is there anything odd about this table?"

Gu Louyin remained silent, staring straight at the bronze mirror on the table.

Xiao Yuan followed his gaze, only seeing him and Gu Louyin. "Is there something wrong with this mirror?"

"You haven't felt it yet?"

Xiao Yuan felt that his cultivation had been insulted, "...No. Mr. Gu, can you speak clearly?"

Gu Louyin shook his head, "I can't tell."

Xiao Yu'an laughed and said, "Half-talking, I am old and have no wife."

"There's something in the mirror."

"We are in the mirror."

Gu Louyin raised his sword and stabbed lightly towards the mirror, a horizontal line appeared on the mirror, separating him from Xiao Yu'an's figure.

Xiao Yu'an said: "Young Master Gu, if there is really something wrong with this mirror, I advise you not to break it."

"Why?"

"Because a broken mirror is still a mirror, and more mirrors."

Gu Louyin understood the meaning of Xiao Yu's case, wrapped the bronze mirror in a white cloth and took it away.

It was night, and the moon was as bright as day.Lanterns were lit in the prefect's mansion, and the prefect held a grand banquet. All his wives, concubines and children were absent, and it was very lively.He reserved a seat for the two immortal elders and invited them to drink wine and watch lanterns together, but they both refused.

Gu Louyin likes to be quiet and doesn't like to make noise, so naturally she won't join in the fun.The excuse for Xiao Yu's case was that he was unwell.

When returning to the room, Gu Louyin asked, "Where is the discomfort?"

Xiao Yu'an smiled and said, "Master Gu is concerned about me?"

Gu Louyin stopped, "Give me your hand."

"what?"

"Pulse diagnosis."

Xiao Yuan withdrew his hand, "No."

Gu Louyin: "..."

"Maybe I'm tired," Xiao Yu'an said nonchalantly, "It'll be fine after a night's rest."

Gu Louyin didn't ask any further questions, turned around and entered the room.

Xiao Yu'an raised his head and glanced at the full moon in the sky, his drunken eyes sank, and he pushed open the door of the next room.

As the night darkened, two ghostly figures landed on the eaves of the prefect's mansion.One of them was dressed in red like blood, handsome and elegant, with an imposing manner.

"Tonight is the Shangyuan Festival. Is it true that the Lord will not accompany the Young Lord to celebrate the festival?"

Xiao Du looked down at the silhouette of Xiao Yu's case on the window, and smiled lightly: "But I want to see Ayu's carnival gu attack more."
