Chapter 248 Corpse
Just leaving, Shaoyu and Pei Yanchuan carefully avoided the heart-eating vines entrenched in Fangshan Town, and headed towards Fangcun Mountain.

Strange to say, they didn't find the ghost worms who chased and killed them just now. The whole town was very quiet, and there was no movement at all.

Logically speaking, the Heart-eating Vine and the Nether Worm should inhabit together.

However, the two of them were anxious to go up the mountain at the moment, so they didn't think about it carefully, and they didn't dare to venture into the town to check the situation.

After all, the ghost worms are living creatures, so maybe they found some new prey, and they chased after them. If they go there and provoke those worms again, they won't be able to find anything.


In the daytime, Fangcun Mountain is still surrounded by mountains and mist, the peak towers into the clouds, the fog is filled, and the fog in the mountains and forests makes it difficult for people to see the way ahead.

Moreover, no matter how the two used their power to disperse the mist, they had little effect. If they were more than ten steps away, their eyes would be blurred.

Seeing Pei Yanchuan striding forward, Shaoyu was startled, and quickly called out: "Be careful, be careful!"

Before they finished speaking, both of them were taken aback.

I saw a straight and tall figure standing under a tree not far ahead.

The man wore a soft fur brocade cloak with a few green bamboos embroidered on it, and his black hair was tied up with a blue ribbon, giving him a bit of nobility and grace.

It is already very strange for such a person to appear in a place like Fangcun Mountain.

But the man was surrounded by a cloud of yellow light and shadow, looking mysterious in the gloomy mountains and forests, which made Shaoyu and Pei Yanchuan even more vigilant.

Shaoyu asked silently: "Could it be that some ruthless character is waiting for us here?"

Pei Yanchuan shook his head.

He could feel a stranger's breath from the other party, and there was nothing else, maybe it was just a living person who strayed into this place.

Although this guess is a bit outrageous, it seems to be true at present.

They approached cautiously, and when they got close, they couldn't laugh or cry when they saw the man's face clearly.

"My lord, why are you here?"

Hearing the words, the prince turned around and was not surprised to see Shaoyu and Pei Yanchuan.

"You can come, why can't I."

Pei Yanchuan frowned, and persuaded patiently: "You are weak, how can you come to such a cold place? What's more, this place is full of dangers, not to mention ordinary people, even ghosts like us dare not set foot here easily. Come, let’s go away.”

Fangcun Mountain does not belong to the mortal world, and it is covered with a cold air, so there will be no snow on the mountain, but it is also extremely cold at this time.

Both Pei Yanchuan and Shaoyu are ghosts, so naturally they won't be afraid of the cold, but Shizi is just a mortal.

Regardless of whether you will encounter danger here, if you suffer from the wind and cold, you will definitely have a serious illness after returning.

Anyway, Shizi and Diansu had a marriage contract after all, they couldn't see Shizi being stupid and ignore it.

But the son said: "Didn't you say that you have some things to do here, this time you go up the mountain, but you want to find a corpse?"

Shaoyu was very surprised, "How do you know!"

Hearing this, the prince smiled lightly, but didn't speak again.

Pei Yanchuan was speechless when he saw Shaoyu who didn't know he was being tricked.

Even if Shizi didn't know it at first, he should know it now.

Pei Yanchuan told Shizi earlier when he was in Taozhi Mountain that what happened here was related to Fangshan's anecdote. It was a statement that convinced Shizi to believe them, but he didn't expect that it happened to be hit right by him. .

Thinking about it, Shizi also saw that story, so he came here.

Pei Yanchuan could only say: "Since His Royal Highness insists on staying, please go with us. If anything happens or we encounter danger, we can take care of each other."

For Pei Yanchuan's kindness, Shizi did not refuse, but just moved a few steps away with the bone lamp in hand, "I have already found that corpse."

Shaoyu and Pei Yanchuan took a few steps closer, only to find a dilapidated corpse lying under the tree.

Judging from the skeleton, it is indeed a young woman, but it has been too long, the body has already decayed, and the identity of the other party cannot be recognized at all.

The crown prince frowned and said, "If I guessed right, this corpse is the woman who disappeared in that story. I examined this corpse carefully just now and found that she had multiple fractures on her body, and... her leg bones and waist bones were almost misaligned. , it is conceivable that she suffered inhuman torture during her lifetime."

Shizi said it very cryptically, but although Shaoyu and Pei Yanchuan hadn't experienced it personally, they had a little insight, and they understood what Shizi meant right now.

For a while, the atmosphere in the mountains became a little heavy.

If this woman was humiliated before she was alive, and she is the woman mentioned in Fangshan Qiwenlu, wouldn't it mean that the men who went up the mountain with her did such things to her and threw her dead body into the wilderness ?

Such a vicious thing, but in the end because those people were possessed by the so-called evil flowers, it was over, without even an explanation, which is really chilling.

The prince said: "There is indeed a strange flower with a strange pattern nearby, but I just picked that flower and applied the flower juice on my body, but found that it didn't have any hallucinogenic effect, nor would it be breathtaking. It shows that what those people say is all false."

Shaoyu retorted weakly: "Why is Your Royal Highness so sure that the story is true? If the story itself is false, then all this is just our speculation and cannot be used as evidence to judge the matter. .”

However, Pei Yanchuan said: "No, other stories in this Fangshan Anecdote may be false, they were fabricated by those storytellers for the sake of gimmick, but this story must be true."

"This kind of gossip is only spread in a small part of the world, because the people of Yeguo are taboo about ghosts and gods, and never take the initiative to inquire about these secrets. Often after such weird events happen, they will keep them secret and will never Take the initiative to mention a few words to others, let alone buy these books to study in private...Of course, except for people who have extensive knowledge like Shi Zi."

"Therefore, this story will definitely not be spread from Fangcun Mountain. Most of the treasure-hunting alchemists who came here heard the complaints of this woman's soul, so they spread the word and made it into the book."

"But the question is, how did this kind of book appear in the Temple of the Underworld, and it happened to be found by us and brought out together?"

Pei Yanchuan finally figured out what was wrong. He looked at Shaoyu and asked, "Shaoyu, do you still remember that the errand had been urging us to take away all the files in the Palace of the Underworld and leave there?" , and then he disappeared?"

"In this case, in order not to miss important files, we will try our best to take all the files away, and this book will be discovered by us along with those files."

Shaoyu seemed to understand: "So, his real purpose is not to let us read those files, but to let us discover this story?"

"Not bad." Pei Yanchuan nodded.

"When we were at the foot of the mountain, Gu Qingli had already told us that most of the ghost worms had been eliminated by the evil spirits, and the heart-eating vines at the foot of the mountain had been suppressed by him with spiritual power, and he also said that the nearby The errand is busy."

"I think the errants should be busy comforting the remaining living people to prevent the ghost worms and heart-eating vines from attacking them. They can't get away at all. Besides, even if the errant is injured, he won't wait to die there. , it seems to be waiting for us to go, so as to answer our questions."

After hearing Pei Yanchuan's words, Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "You mean... that errand is fake? Didn't you say that he has the aura of the errand of the underworld? You can never make a mistake Bar?"

Pei Yanchuan said: "I dare not say for sure, but there must be something strange in it."

The prince reminded: "It doesn't matter whether the errand is true or not. The important thing is that it is very likely that this happened and he knew about it."

"This is just an ordinary woman. It has been so long since her accident, and the matter has gradually become fermented. Then, who is most likely to avenge her?"

"As you said, this mountain is very strange. Those who can occupy this place must have their own skills. Since the other party has waited for so long to make a move and uncover this matter, it shows that he is here. The status of the mountain is not high, or... this is not his territory at all."

"All of this is the result of his careful arrangements for many years, and at this moment, he is watching our every move in the dark."

Shaoyu understood what the son meant, "Since that's the case, we just need to bring this woman's body to the Palace of the Underworld! If that errand really planned all this for this woman, he will definitely show his feet!"

Pei Yanchuan shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think."

He glanced at Shaoyu, and said: "Although the son's words are reasonable, this matter must not be handled in such a hasty manner, otherwise, it is very likely to startle the snake."

Shaoyu asked puzzledly: "If we want to know whether the person behind the scenes is the errand, we just need to bring this corpse back. With such a simple reason, we can know why his attitude is not right after discussing the matter?"

Although the son didn't know the situation of Shaoyu and Pei Yanchuan's investigation, but after listening for a while, he roughly understood it.

Then he explained: "If that ghost really did all this for this woman, this woman must be very important to him, then it is impossible for him to let this woman's body stay here for so many years, regardless of Ask, this incident is very likely just a cover for him to divert attention."

Pei Yanchuan nodded: "The opponent can lay out such a game of chess so meticulously, and let us investigate by ourselves, there must be some weight in our hands that will win."

"It is difficult for us to deal with the fact that he can control the heart-eating vines and ghost worms. Not to mention, the heart-eating vines and ghost worms are more harmful to ghosts than before. If we fight him, we will have to fight against him." to any benefit."

Shaoyu was overwhelmed by these two people's words, so he simply didn't get involved with them: "Then tell me what to do!"

"It's really hard to do things with you. After listening for a long time, I still don't know what to do. It's better to follow the adults. The adults never talk nonsense and do whatever they want."

Shaoyu's subconscious complaint made both of them startled.

"Susu."

Shizi smiled lightly, but there was no trace of joy in his eyes, "She really seldom said these things. If she didn't ask her, she would just go about it alone and never tell me anything."

Seeing that he was quick to talk for a while, and made the son miss his lord, Shaoyu only hated himself for being too talkative.

Seeing that both of them were silent, Shizi gathered the rather thick cloak around his body, and smiled faintly: "No problem, let's go."

For some reason, looking at such an elder son, Shaoyu felt that he was somewhat similar to an adult.

Shaoyu couldn't help but get reddened when he remembered that the adult was carrying a bone lamp and asked him to follow.

Apart from his relatives in this world, the lord is the best person to him, but now the lord has disappeared.

Those people in the Underworld said that when the lord was in Longbi Mansion, he dissipated his spiritual power to save the son, so he violated the laws of the Underworld, and was killed on the spot by the Yin soldiers led by the King of Hades.

When he heard the news, Shaoyu almost thought he heard it wrong. Could it be that he will never see the adults again?

Seeing that Shaoyu didn't keep up, Pei Yanchuan turned to look at him, "What are you doing in a daze? Let's go."

But Shaoyu stood there motionless, looking ahead with a dull face and murmured: "My lord..."
