"These three little ghosts have been eliminated. Miss Du need not be afraid. Didn't Mr. Du ask the servants to wait outside and let them in? I suspect that the person who framed Miss Du behind the scenes buried the bodies of the three children here. As long as I can find it in the yard, I can find out who is behind it. I will dig overnight tonight. If I can't dig it out, I will dig through the entire Du Mansion tomorrow." Cao Ren said loudly.
"Okay, I'll call someone right now." Du Lan called the servants in. More than a dozen servants, all carrying hoes on their shoulders, began to dig everywhere in the yard under Du Lan's command.
Cao Ren glanced at the servants, thoughtfully.
"Brother Cao, are the bodies of those three imps really buried in this courtyard?" Xiao Yunzhan asked curiously.
Xu Daochang hesitated to speak. He used his compass to search the courtyard several times today, but did not find any place where the corpse was buried. However, thinking of Cao Ren's powerful ability to kill an imp with one sword, he held back his words.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find the real murderer." Cao Ren walked towards the courtyard gate.
Everyone looked puzzled, but they followed suit.
Under the courtyard wall outside the stable, a figure was waving a hoe in the dark. From time to time he squatted down and dug at the soil, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't seem to find it. The more he dug, the more anxious he became.
"It's buried pretty deep."
"I remember it was buried here, how come..." The figure waving the hoe paused and turned back with a look of horror.
A torch lit up, illuminating his face and the large hole just dug at his feet. In the hole, there was a corner of cloth.
"Laifu? It's you!" Du Chuling exclaimed, somewhat unbelievably.
"Miss... I... it's not me..." Laifu looked anxious and the hoe in his hand fell to the ground.
Xiao Yunzhan stepped forward, pulled out the cloth from the pit, which was a small package, and threw it on the ground. A few baby bones fell out, and the long sword in his hand was placed across Laifu's neck.
"Laifu, I thought you were a loyal and honest person. When I saw you were injured, I took you in as a groom. You actually framed Ling'er and ruined her reputation. You are extremely vicious!" Du Lan looked indignant and ridiculous.
Seeing this, Laifu, who was restrained, stopped making excuses. Instead, he looked at Cao Ren reluctantly and said, "You just said you wanted to dig up the yard. Did you deliberately deceive me?! How did you know it was me who did it?"
Everyone looked at Cao Ren with the same curiosity.
"Because your behavior is so abnormal, it is difficult for people not to regard you as a suspect first." Cao Ren explained with a smile: "Mortals are bold mostly because they do not believe in ghosts and gods, but if you have seen ghosts causing trouble, no matter how bold you are, People will also hide far away, but you can drive away the late first-level evil spirits with a handful of calamus. Doesn’t it seem that Xu Taoist priest is too shallow? This means that you know that this ghost will not hurt you, but it can make you appear Brave and fearless.”
Elder Xu Dao blushed and took half a step back to the corner.
"If you were just a bold and loyal servant, you should have gone back to sleep after staying overnight. But you chose to deliberately squat at the door and sleep to make Miss Du feel grateful and dependent on you. Your motives are not pure." Cao Ren continued: "You Knowing that his status is low and that Miss Du is about to get married, he concocted this ghost baby case in order to ruin Miss Du's reputation and improve his status in the Du family. You are not worthy of Miss Du, so you choose to She dragged her into the quagmire so that you could have a chance, and her heart is to be killed."
Du Chuling's face turned pale and he took two steps back. He was helped by the maid before he could stand still. His heart was full of fear. He didn't expect Laifu's thoughts to be so vicious.
"You bastard, you made me lose my engagement!" Chang Wei finally couldn't help but burst out, rushed forward, and punched Bang Bang twice.
Laifu hit the wall with a bang, and his eyes suddenly became black and swollen like a panda.
Cao Ren raised his eyebrows, "You are Chang Wei, and you still say you don't know martial arts?"
Laifu spat blood on Chang Wei's face, stared at him with red eyes and sneered: "If you hadn't been born with a good fetus, how would you be better than me? Why can you take Ling'er, but I can't? Today If it weren’t for these two boys, you would all have died!”
Chang Wei's spine felt chilly and he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Ling'er, I really love you. From the first time I saw you, I told myself that I must get you. I really don't want you to suffer, even the curse of attracting ghosts. On the green radish, look how much I love you."
"You are noble and noble! You use me to seduce ghosts!" Luluo rolled her eyes, her teeth itching with anger.
Xiao Yunzhan suddenly realized that Cao Ren had already known that Lu Luo was the one who was cursed. He kept talking about Laifu during their chat at noon. He had already guessed at that time.
"As expected of Brother Cao!" Xiao Yunzhan couldn't help but sigh.
Laifu stared at Du Chuling, his expression becoming more and more crazy: "Since we can't be together alive, then you can wait until you die to be with me..."
Zheng!
Before he finished speaking, Cao Ren had already drawn his sword and struck out.
A blood line gradually became clear from his neck, and then a wound with blood spurting out.
Laifu's eyes widened, and he slid to the ground with a look full of unwillingness. A puppet fell from his hand, with Du Chuling's name and birthday clearly written on the back, and a silver needle inserted halfway between his eyebrows.
"Is this guy a remnant of the Ghost Spirit Sect?"
Xiao Yunzhan picked up the puppet and looked surprised.
The Ghost Spirit Sect is a ghost sect that has been quite active in the Yue Kingdom in recent years and has caused many tragedies.
At the beginning of this year, the Taiyi Sect found the main altar of the Ghost Spirit Sect, launched a thunderous attack, wiped it out in one fell swoop, and placed a reward for the remaining members of the Ghost Spirit Sect in Yue Kingdom.
This incident caused quite a stir. Even now, there are reward orders for the remaining members of the Ghost Spirit Sect on the Wuhai City character list, and they all start with at least 10 contribution points and ten spiritual stones.
This Laifu is a ghost monk who can control late first-order ghosts, but he stays in Du Mansion as a young groom. This shows that he wants to avoid the limelight.
And when he was injured at the beginning of the year and came to Du Mansion, he also matched the timeline of the Ghost Spirit Sect's destruction.
"The art of controlling ghosts is indeed a ghost method. It is really possible." Cao Ren nodded, took the puppet from Xiao Yunzhan's hand, and carefully pulled out the silver needle.
"Ah..." Du Chuling groaned, feeling like something was being pulled away from her body, and it suddenly became empty.
Cao Ren looked at Du Chuling, who was blushing, and explained: "This is Miss Du's doll. The curse triggered by the ghost monk's life is extremely vicious. Fortunately, I interrupted his spell casting and it will not have an impact on you. This person We will bring back the Taiyi Sect and destroy it."
"He is so vicious..." Du Chuling was a little scared, but she didn't expect that Laifu would want to take her to die with him in the end.
"Master Immortal saved my little girl's life again. I'm so grateful." Du Lan also bowed deeply.
Daochang Xu sighed secretly. If it were him, he would have been unable to stop Laifu from piercing the silver needle into the puppet.
"Master Du doesn't have to be like this." Cao Ren said with a smile: "The evil spirits have been eliminated, Laifu has been punished, and Miss Du's innocence has been proved. When we return to Wuhai Peak, Taiyi Sect will issue another certificate of innocence for Miss Du. , then no one will dare to talk nonsense and taint her innocence."
Du Lan said yes again and again, feeling grateful again.
Chang Wei remained silent and glanced at Cao Ren from time to time, with mixed emotions.
Cao Ren and Xiao Yunzhan went to check Laifu's residence and found a secret compartment under the bed. They took out a wooden box from the secret compartment and locked a small lock.
Xiaoyun Zhandang smashed the lock with a single blow of his sword. He opened the box and found eight spirit stones, a letter, a yellowed "Introduction Manual of Ghost Controlling Techniques of Ghost Spirit Sect", and a palm-sized hand at the bottom. Earthy yellow Bagua bronze mirror.
"This is a real deal." Xiao Yunzhan picked up the booklet and smiled proudly: "It's an unexpected surprise."
"Half for each person." Cao Ren picked up the spirit stone, and then picked up the letter. The cover said '9527 Qi', and the handwriting was a bit sloppy.
The envelope had been opened, so Cao Ren easily took out the letter paper.
"9527:
When I woke up today, the Ghost Spirit Sect had been surrounded by the Taiyi Sect. I had no chance of breaking out, so I had to defend.
However, in the past three years, I have sown seeds in the country of Yue, and after this crisis has passed, they will sprout and grow again.
And you will become the new master of the Yue Kingdom branch of Wuji Palace.
After getting this letter, you do what I said before and revive the Ghost Spirit Sect, and someone will contact you soon.
Pang Zhongtian"
