My apprentice is a scumbag

Chapter 65 The Fish and Rice Township Incident [2]

Everyone soon arrived at the mass grave.

The place is cloudy, and there is a rancid smell everywhere. When you enter, you can see many mice and crows looking for food on the ground, and they run away when they see someone coming.

"It's right here." The head of the township led a few big men and dug up the place where the dead were buried.

What was dug out was not a rotting corpse, but a white bone.

"It's only been a few days, how could it have turned into bones so quickly?" Everyone was shocked.

Ning Mei walked over unhurriedly, squatted in front of the corpse, and checked.

Fu Tianling also followed, flipping through his clothes, "Does this dress look familiar?"

"Oh? Do you know which sect it is from?" Ning Mei asked seriously.

The clothes have been soaked to the point that they can't see the original color, but this style makes Fu Tianling feel very familiar.

Fu Tianling went through the uniform uniforms of all sects in his mind, and finally his eyes widened, "Isn't this the costume of our Xiaoyao Palace?"

Because it was originally black, but now it was soaked like this, she didn't recognize it for a while.

Fu Tianling reached out and pulled towards the collar, and sure enough, a gold thread was pulled out from the collar.

The clothes of Xiaoyao Palace are all black, only the collar, cuffs and belt are embroidered with gold thread.This is definitely the costume of Xiaoyao Palace!

Ning Mei said coldly: "...This can't be Chi Yixiu, can it?"

Fu Tianling looked up at Ning Mei in surprise, with a look of disbelief, "Brother, don't scare me."

Ning Mei snorted softly, "Xiaoyao Palace is not ashamed, except for him. Maybe on the way to escape back to Xiaoyao Palace, I accidentally fell into the pond and drowned."

"He's not that stupid!" Although Fu Tianling didn't believe what Ning Mo said, his face still turned pale, "What's more... What's more, this man doesn't have a sword on him... He never leaves Xiu Lingjian of."

"Okay, I'm just scaring you." Ning Mei smiled, stood up from the ground, and said to the village head and the others: "It's re-buried, go back to the pond and have a look."

The mayor hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Is he really from Xiaoyao Palace?"

Fu Tianling also looked at Ning Mei, the clothes of Xiaoyao Palace are not bad, but this man...

Ning Mei shook his head, "I'm not sure if it's someone from Xiaoyao Palace, if it is, then I will make its soul pay the price!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say that.

Going back again, Ning Mei glanced at the nearly a hundred ponds and said, "Put all the water in them."

Without doubt, everyone listened to his words and released the water in all the ponds. Fortunately, each pond has a ditch dedicated to draining water. It doesn't take too much time to dig the ditch.

There was nothing in the pond except the silt at the bottom.

According to the signs, there are hundreds of fish in these ponds.

Fu Tianling also looked at other ponds, all ponds were like this.

"What's that?" Fu Tianling looked at it and suddenly found a touch of white in one of the ponds.

She wanted to jump down to have a look, but was stopped by Ning Mei, "I'll go."

After finishing speaking, Fu Tian jumped into the pond without giving him any time to react, his legs sank into the mud instantly.

Fortunately, he was still able to move, and slowly walked towards the place Fu Tianling saw, stretched out his hand to plan twice, and a skull appeared in front of the two of them.

"Go to other ponds to dig and see if there are any bones!" Fu Tianling hurriedly shouted to other villagers.

Then she jumped down and helped Ning Mei lift the bone out.

"Has anyone drowned in this pond of yours?" After being carried out, Fu Tianling asked the mayor.

Seeing that the bones were dug out again, the township head shivered, "No...no. Our Yumi Township is small, and the whole village will know who dies without leaving a stick of incense. Before we catch fish, we will With the water released, there will be no such thing as drowning.”

"Two elders! There are bones here!"

"There are also here!!"

At this moment, more than a dozen voices sounded, Fu Tianling and Ning Mei looked at each other and ran towards those people.

Sure enough, they dug up more than a dozen bones from different ponds.

Fu Tianling frowned, and saw the clothes on one of the bones at a glance, "That's the clothes of the disciples of the Xianmeng."

"How do you know? We haven't seen the clothes of the disciples of Xianmeng, have we?" Ning Mei asked.

Futian nodded zero, "It's because I haven't seen it before. At the beginning, there were only a few elders in Xianmeng, and there were no disciples at all. The clothes were designed after the selection of disciples a few days ago. All the sects of cultivating immortals went that day, and there was no such thing. The style of clothes. Except for the elders of Xianmeng, although they look different from them, the style is the same."

As a girl, she can still distinguish the styles of clothes.

Ning Mei stared at Fu Tianling in surprise, as if she just realized that she still has the ability in this area.

Fu Tianling glanced at him, "Now is not the time to admire me, the point is why there are so many bones in Yumi Township?"

Ning Mei came back to his senses, "I have checked, they will never die for more than ten days, it is impossible to become like this, at most they will rot and maggots."

"This matter is not simple." Fu Tianling came to this conclusion.

Ning Mei rolled his eyes, "I also know it's not easy!"

"You guys go back first, leave this place to us." In the end, Fu Tianling could only let the village chief take the villagers home first, after all, it was going to be dark soon.

Even though the mayor was a little worried, he thought that they were not capable, and staying here would only hinder them, so they could only pin their hopes on Fu Tianling and Ning Mei.

After everyone left, Fu Tianling whispered to Ning Mei, "Brother, I think this is strange. Why are there so many corpses in this remote place? Even if you kill someone, you should throw the corpse in a hidden place, right?" ? Throw it in the pond, isn't it just waiting to be discovered?"

Ning Mei nodded, "I think the same as you. So, what do you think should be done now?"

Fu Tianling thought for a while, and said: "I think that the person who lost the body will come again. His goal should not be Yumi Township. After all, the folk customs here are simple and will not offend anyone."

"what do you mean?"

"Before Yumi Township is Xiaoyao Town, and beyond Xiaoyao Town is Xiaoyao Palace... Don't you understand?" Fu Tianling stared at Ning Mei.

"...Understood." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ning Mei felt that she was despised.

"Let's hide nearby first. If it's what I think, that person should come again tonight."

After the two made up their minds, they hid in the rice fields not far away, hiding their aura.

All the water released from the pond flowed into a river not far away. Looking at the river from a distance, Fu Tianling felt something was wrong.
