Chapter 245 Funeral
Everyone followed Ling Chuchu, searching for the whereabouts of other mummies in the secret passage.

These mummies were distributed throughout the secret passage, and it took everyone a lot of time to find them. However, after all the mummies were found, everyone present also discovered something strange about these mummies.

There are seven mummies in total.

But the strange thing is that none of the seven mummies are intact.

Every mummy is missing either arms, thighs, or waist and abdomen...
Such a strange place.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Bao Zheng's mind, and something seemed to be vaguely emerging, but he could not catch it.

"why?"

"Why were the bodies of these seven mummies destroyed?"

"What is the purpose of the person who destroyed these seven corpses?"

"Who are the identities of these seven corpses?"

······
One doubt after another kept popping up in Bao Zheng's mind.

Bao Zheng's original purpose of entering the secret passage was to solve the mystery of the serial murders in the Hermitage Village. However, now that he saw these mummies, not only were his doubts unanswered, but he had more and more questions.

"It's getting late, we should go out."

Just as Bao Zheng was thinking about the doubts in his heart, Ling Chuchu looked at the little kerosene left in the oil lamp in his hand, and his face changed slightly.

The secret passage is the secret of the Hermitage Village.

Although Li Si made an exception and allowed outsiders such as Luo Yang and Bao Zheng to enter the secret passage once before in order to track down the "masked man", it does not mean that they can enter and exit at will in the future.

Enter the secret passage this time.

Although I didn't find the clues I wanted, it was a small gain to find these mummies.

So after hearing Ling Chuchu's words, everyone didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave.

But just before leaving.

Lian Xing, who was walking at the back of the crowd, turned his head slightly and glanced somewhere behind him.

"There's someone behind you."

Lianxing used her inner strength to bundle the sound into a line and passed it into Luo Yang's ears.

The corners of Luo Yang's lips curled up, and he spoke in the same way: "I know that Murong Fu had a plan when he came to Hermitage Village this time. It's not surprising at all that he would sneak in."

Lian Xing sent a message: "Aren't you going to take care of it?"

Luo Yang replied: "There's nothing to worry about. It just so happens that this place is inconvenient for us to investigate, so we might as well lend him his hand to see what secrets are hidden here. Wouldn't it be nice?"

······
Wait until Luo Yang, Bao Zheng and others all leave.

Where they had been before, two figures suddenly walked out, it was Murong Fu and his subordinate Deng Baichuan.

"Sir, it seems that Madam Luo noticed us just now?"

Deng Baichuan whispered: "The origins of this couple are mysterious. Not only are they superb in medical skills, but they also seem to have high martial arts skills. I have never heard of the origins of these two people in our Song Dynasty. I'm worried..."

Murong Fu looked at the direction Luo Yang and Lian Xing were leaving, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Don't worry about them, they are not from the Song Dynasty. I have seen their clothes before, although the styles are not the same as those of the Song Dynasty. But the embroidery technique on the fabric is not a technique commonly used by embroiderers of the Song Dynasty. If I guess correctly, these two people should be from Daming, but they just happened to pass by here, so they will not conflict with our plan. "

"That's good."

"How is the investigation of this secret passage going?"

"The investigation has been basically completed, but so far, no abnormalities have been found."

"Continue to seize the time to investigate. The people in this village spent so long building this secret passage. It cannot be just for escape. If I guessed correctly, there must be a secret under this secret passage, and this secret is very important. It may be related to the goal of our trip.”

"yes!"······
Soon it was the day of Zhang San's funeral.

After all, Hermit Village is just a small village and there are not so many red tapes, so after a simple funeral, the coffin was buried in the back mountain and buried.

Foreigners such as Luo Yang, Bao Zheng and Murong Fu also came to the grave to lay a stick of incense after the funeral.

After the funeral.

Luo Yang, Bao Zheng, Ling Chuchu, Zhan Zhao and others came to hang out in the back mountain.

While wandering around, everyone unexpectedly discovered a small house in the back hill.

"Huh? Apart from the people from Hermitage Village, are there anyone else living here?"

"I do not know!"

Ling Chuchu shook her head and explained: "There used to be rumors in the village that there were man-eating beasts raging in the back mountains, so when the villagers went hunting, they generally avoided the back mountains."

"I see."

Bao Zheng nodded suddenly, and then suddenly reacted: "Huh? No, since there are wild beasts in the back mountain, why did you bring us to hang out in the back mountain?"

Ling Chuchu waved her hand: "Hey! This rumor has been circulating in the village for almost twenty years. It has been there since I was a child. Even if there is really a man-eating beast in the back mountain, it will be dead long ago and it can still survive. Now?"

talking.

Ling Chuchu crossed the crowd and walked towards the small house first.

Despite the grandeur of what Ling Chuchu said just now, in fact, this is the first time he has come to the back mountain in so many years of living in Hermitage Village. Today, he dared to take a stroll here while there were many people.

This is also the first time I know that there is such a hut on the back mountain.

"anyone there?"

Arriving in front of the hut, Ling Chuchu reached out and knocked on the open courtyard door.

Seeing Ling Chuchu's actions, Bao Zheng and others who were chasing behind them quickly shouted: "Wait, Chu Chu, don't rush in, be careful. There is danger."

Everyone came to the hut.

But after observing for a while, I found that no one seemed to be living in this hut at all.

The group hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't suppress their curiosity and pushed the door open and walked in.

The furnishings in the hut are very simple, just like those in an ordinary farmer's home.

After Bao Zheng entered the hut.

First I looked around.

Then he reached out and touched the doors, windows, tables, chairs and benches. Seeing that his fingertips were not stained with much dust, Bao Zheng said: "It seems that this family must have gone out."

Long Feiyan said: "How do you know?"

Bao Zheng said: "The tables, chairs and benches here are very clean. If no one keeps cleaning, there is no way to keep them so clean."

"Really? But I don't think so. It's possible that this family member is dead, maybe?"

Long Feiyan tilted her head and pointed to a place outside the house. Others looked in the direction she pointed. The next moment, everyone was stunned.

All I saw was the open space outside the door.

A tomb that was obviously newly built stood there quietly. There was a tombstone in front of the tomb, but there was no name on the tombstone.
