Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 12 The Revenge of the Mountain Spirits
The surname of the woman in the tomb is unknown, but I learned from the rumors in the town that she has a nickname, Liu Qiniang.

There is no name or pattern on the tombstone, just a smooth piece of bluestone.

When the two came to the grave, they saw that the soil on the ground had been burnt black, and even the rain could not wash it away. It should be the traces left by Liu Bingkun when he paid homage to his late wife and burned paper money during festivals. The soil was burned into ceramics. .

Li Lianhua knelt down, with the skirt of her long gown spread out on both sides of her body and spread on the ground. The clothes of the ancients were not good at this, and it was inconvenient to squat. She saw him reaching out to grab a little yellow soil nearby, with two fingers. I came up to the spot and took a look...

He even leaned closer and sniffed.

"It seems that not long ago, someone came here to worship."

Li Lianhua said softly: "The time was not far from now, about three days ago."

He said this in a very firm tone, which made people feel that his words were very credible.

Li Lianpeng didn't know how he made the exact judgment. He could tell the time just by looking at the dirt?
So, he asked: "How did you know?"

Li Lianhua stood up, looked at him with a smile, and told him the reason:

"Five days ago, it happened to be the first day of October. It was the annual October dynasty and Ghost Day, also known as the Shaoyi Festival. On this day, the people of Daxi would burn some winter clothes for their deceased relatives and give them to those who are sleeping underground. Give me some warm clothes."

"That's it." Li Lianpeng nodded with a look of surprise.

This kind of tradition is not unfamiliar to me. Thinking about the completely different world in my previous life, there was also such a traditional folk festival. It seems to be called the Winter Clothes Festival?

Li Lianpeng, who couldn't think clearly, shook his head and asked again:
"Lotus, can you see anything wrong? Is the death of Donor Liu related to this woman who is sleeping underground?"

Hearing this, Li Lianhua said "Ah", as if she was wondering why he associated Liu Laoer's death with Liu Qiniang, who had been dead for many years, and said blankly:

"I do not know…"

"You don't know?" Li Lianpeng was quite speechless. You looked like you were sure of victory before. I thought you had a clue.

Li Lianhua smiled bitterly and said: "Kongkong, are you thinking too much? How could I, a wandering doctor, know about solving the case? I just feel that the rumored Liu Qiniang is quite pitiful. Now the only person in the world who remembers her is She passed away in a tragic accident, and in the future, I'm afraid no one will worship her, and new soil will be added to the old grave."

"I just thought that since we took the Liu family's 20 taels of silver, we would come and pay homage to it, so that people's consciences can be at ease."

When he said the last sentence, Li Lianhua's beautiful eyes looked at Li Lianpeng with a smile.

Obviously, this last sentence was meant for Li Lianpeng.

He took ten taels to help others collect corpses, so he deserved it.

As for Li Lianpeng, the fake monk who saved Liu Bingkun's life... only he knows whether he feels guilty or not.

Li Lianpeng ignored his gaze and frowned, "Don't she have a son?"

Li Lianhua didn't see anything strange on his face, nor was she disappointed in her heart. She shook her head slightly and sighed softly:
"Liu Nianli, Liu Qiniang's son, is also dead."

"Ah?" It was Li Lianpeng's turn to be surprised.
"How do you know?"

Li Lianhua's face showed a look of reminiscence: "About two years ago, outside Yunze County, more than a hundred miles away from here, I witnessed a group of Jianghu people fighting for a treasure, with swords and swords flashing, and the fight was called a Awesome. However, the two groups of Jianghu people fought to the end, not only losing both sides, but the treasure was taken by a young man who was just starting out, and that young man's name is Liu Nianli."

"Then Liu Nianli claimed to be the disciple of the Medicine Demon who is disgraceful to the righteous way of the world. Holding a San Gong Powder, he stood on the windward side and knocked down all the Jianghu people. He snatched the treasure and ran away... and then maybe he was too panicked. , one didn’t pay attention, and happened to bump into my lotus building, and ended up knocking himself out..."

"It was only after I rescued him that I learned that this so-called treasure was a treasure map. He originally brought this map from home. Once he was drunk and gullible, he accidentally let it slip..."

Li Lianpeng listened to Li Lianhua's story and thought to himself, Li Lianhua, Li Lianhua, you deserve to be the protagonist in the play, your luck is really incredible.

While standing still eating melons and watching a show, people would bring treasures to their doorsteps.

According to Li Lianhua's story, Liu Nianli's martial arts skills were ordinary, but in fact, he had been affected by the fight between Jianghu people and was seriously injured.

What fascinated a group of people in the world was not the San Gong Powder that made people unable to mobilize their internal energy within an hour, otherwise they would lose all their internal energy after being poisoned. It was just a more potent intoxicating drug.

He is not the disciple of the Medicine Demon, he just uses the name of the Medicine Demon to scare people, so that those in the world will retreat and not dare to pursue him.

Li Lianhua saved his life, and since Li Lianhua seemed to be harmless and sick, there was no threat. Liu Nianli, who traveled around the world just to hunt for treasure, repaid his kindness by telling her his life story.Afterwards, Liu Nianli, who recovered from her injuries, handed over the treasure map to Li Lianhua for safekeeping, sealed a copy and left the Lotus Building with her.

Two days later, Li Lianhua saw Liu Nianli hanging from a tree in a persimmon forest outside Yunze County and had been dead for a long time...

After listening to this story, Li Lianpeng sighed and said:
"As a result, the three members of Liu Laoer's coffin shop are dead."

"Amitabha, my compassionate Buddha, if there really is a Hell of Yama in this world, I hope there will be no killing in that Hell."

Li Lianpeng has lived in the temple for more than ten years, and what he has been thinking about is the delicious food and beauty at the foot of the mountain.I am really not keen on or interested in this Jianghu matter.

Riding horses in the rivers and lakes, rejoicing in grievances and grievances, acting chivalrously and righteously, and helping the world.

It sounds very chic, very heroic, very uninhibited, and very positive energy.

But actually.

Most of those who run around in the world are poor and unlucky people who come and go through thick and thin, sleep in the open air, eat one meal without finishing the next, and have their heads stuck in their belts.

Where can I find the happiness of being a rich man who has no worries about food and clothing and a family with millions of dollars in wealth?

Just stay in the mansion when you have nothing to do, while enjoying the service of the considerate maid, pinching your shoulders and feeding you preserved fruits and so on.

While chatting with your beautiful wife and concubine to relieve your boredom, isn't this more interesting?
Of course, Li Lianpeng also knew that in such an ancient world, most of the people who ran around were forced by life and were doing it for their livelihood.

However, there is one thing about him that is very similar to Li Lianhua, who is now at peace and quiet, and that is that he hates killing.

Even he didn't have much favorable impression of this world that he had not had much contact with yet.

If the world is mostly filled with people like Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing, then let’s talk about it differently.

The two of them bowed to the lonely grave in front of them and turned around to go down the mountain.

It was already afternoon when we returned to town.

A murder case occurred in Qingyi Town. The horrifying and strange mutilation of corpses shrouded the entire town in a strange... excitement!
Li Lianpeng didn't feel wrong. If he were asked to find a word to describe the current atmosphere in this town, the word "excitement" would be the most appropriate.

Whether it is the locals of Qingyi Town or the foreigners who travel around the world, when they talk about this matter, they all look like they know the truth and are serious about talking about it.

Li Lianpeng knew that this might also be related to the fact that the two officials had not yet solved the case.

Only people who don't know the truth would behave like this.

Once the truth is revealed and the murderer is caught, people's curiosity about the whole thing will fade away, and they will definitely not be like now, where they feel like they know the truth even though it's all just hearsay.

"It must be the revenge of the mountain spirit! Didn't you listen to what those two officials said? The instruments used to brutally dismember Liu Laoer were not ordinary knives or iron tools, but scratches like wild beasts' claws. The wounds on the corpse were filled with flesh and blood. The outside is rolled, and the internal organs still have traces of being bitten..."

"Hiss... are there really mountain spirits?"

"You stupid Bai Laosan, can you stop talking? If you want to talk about it elsewhere, you didn't see me eating noodles?!"

"Hehehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"..."

At dusk, on the streets of Qingyi Town.

In a restaurant.

Li Lianpeng listened to the discussion in his ears and stared at the job in front of him with a depressed face, with no appetite at all.

On the other hand, Li Lianhua, who was sitting opposite him, was eating a lot of pasta and deliberately making "snoring" and "snoring" sounds, which was really annoying!
Why can he eat so deliciously? !
