The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 698
Being asked such a question, Taoist Ning An slowly turned around, first he was puzzled by this, and then he was even more astonished when he looked at the empty coffin.

"This... I don't even know the poor Taoist." This happened hundreds of years ago. People in Taoist temples have been sweeping Taoist Taiping's grave for generations, and they never knew that Taoist Taiping's grave would be empty.

Yan Sihan glanced at Taoist Ning An with a cold gaze. After thinking for a moment, he then withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice to the shadow guard, "Dig up the locust tree."

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Jiaojiao also looked away from Taoist Ning'an. She also had the same idea about digging up the locust tree. After all, she really couldn't figure out why Taoist Wuzi wanted to plant a locust tree behind the grave.

The locust tree has grown for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to dig it up, so I simply went back to the Taoist temple and waited.

After half an hour, Ye Ming came to report: "My lord, my concubine, there are two bones under that tree."

Two bones?Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help looking at Yan Sihan, only to see the man's face was gloomy, obviously she didn't expect it.

Taoist Ning'an was even more surprised by this, first he didn't expect Taoist Taiping's grave to be empty, but now he found two bones under the tree.

Even if he is the master of the Taiping Temple, he doesn't know what's going on.

"Where are the five Taoist priests buried?" Lin Jiaojiao asked Taoist Ning'an.

Taoist Ning'an hurriedly responded: "According to the records in the temple, Taoist Wuzi had his immortal slough burned after his death, so he was not buried."

A group of people came to Zhang Sheng's cemetery. At this moment, there were many fallen leaves on the ground. The huge locust tree had been dug up by its roots and was lying on the side of the cemetery.

The two bones were extremely conspicuous in the dark brown ground, and the shadow guard was checking the two bones, after the shadow guard had seen these bones.

One person came to report: "My lord, my concubine, these two bones are a man and a woman. The man was about 60 years old before he died, while the woman's bones should be only 20 years old before death, and the time of death of the two probably differed by more than ten years." Year."

"Woman?" Lin Jiaojiao opened her eyelids slightly.

She also speculated on the way, whether the two bones could be Taoist Wuzi and Taoist Taiping Zhang Sheng. Although Taoist Ning'an said that Taoist Wuzi was not buried normally in the temple, she still retained a certain degree of skepticism.

But now, among the two bones, one of them is a woman, and she is a woman in her 20s, which is really strange.

She looked at Yan Sihan and said, "Although Zhang Sheng's age is unknown when he died, it is recorded to be between thirty and forty. This other skeleton is over sixty years old, so it is unlikely to be a Taoist Taiping."

"En." Yan Sihan nodded, agreeing with her statement.

Taoist Ning'an, who had been sizing up the pair of bones, suddenly moved, and said, "According to where the two are buried, it should be the high hall of Taoist Taiping Zhang Sheng's tomb."

"Gaotang?" Lin Jiaojiao felt even more strange.

The shadow guard also agreed with Taoist Ning'an's statement. According to the layout, it should indeed be the high hall of Zhang Sheng's grave.

But the two were buried together under the locust tree, without a coffin or outer shell, which is really puzzling.

"Who are Zhang Sheng's parents?" Now the only person who can ask this question is Taoist Ning'an.

Ning'an Taoist shook his head: "Taiping Taoist is a baby who was discarded at the entrance of the temple. No one knows who his parents are."
