Soft and cute female mage

Chapter 153

However, there was darkness and silence inside the door. There had just been a fight, but the torch had already been left somewhere.

Now it was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers. The heart that had just been relaxed was immediately hanging in my throat again.

Fang Ling mobilized his spiritual power, and a flame burst out of his palm.When the light hit, Fu Sheng shrank into a ball in fright and hurriedly threw away Fang Ling's arm, straightened his back immediately and said in embarrassment:
"I'm not afraid! I thought you were afraid!"

Fang Ling just found it funny.

"Who wants you to never learn Yanhuo Jue. You don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills. Look, how convenient it is to use at critical times."

"Playing with the fire bed!"

Fusheng rolled his eyes angrily.

Although the Flame Fire Jue can generate the fire of the five elements, it is not used in this way. After all, the Yin and Yang are isolated here, and the spiritual power still has to be accumulated on the blade.

Fortunately, there were two lamp slaves on both sides of the door, and Fang Ling quickly lit them.

In this strange cave, the fear of darkness was involuntarily magnified several times. Fusheng quickly took the lamp and lit all the other oil lamps scattered high and low on the cave wall.

The cave was built in the shape of a regular octagon, which was not spacious. For no reason, most of the space was taken up by half-large clay jars with three floors inside and three floors outside.

The clay jars were all turned upside down with the bottom up, and it seemed that many small holes had been pierced in the bottom during the firing process, and the densely packed appearance really made people feel uncomfortable.

Surrounded by the jars in a fan shape like stars holding the moon, is a circular stone platform, which looks like a huge dark carved stone coffin.

The dark coffin was not made of ordinary stone. The transparent and smooth material was obviously made of a huge piece of dragon crystal.

The decorations on it are exquisite and delicate, and the carvings are not ordinary images of immortals, auspicious clouds, and traveling on the west with cranes, but five vivid babies holding five poisonous Gu insects.

Originally round and chubby, innocent and lovely babies are all holding five poisonous Gu worms in their hands, and they are portrayed on the cold coffin here, as if the gloomy mortuary table has become a delivery bed in a blink of an eye. Very awkward.

The baby, who was originally innocent and smiling, seemed to be about to grow fangs and stretch out its sharp claws to kill people in the next moment.

Fusheng knew that he was not as good as Fang Ling in examining the corpse, so he took the initiative to get out of the way and let him go first.He knelt down and became interested in the clay pots around him.

"How can you say that the He family is also one of the most famous families in southern Yunnan. Sister, do you think there will be any valuable funeral objects in this jar?"

Fang Ling walked up the round platform along several stone steps, and said absently:
"It's best not to move. Orbs and jade boxes, just these broken pots of clay, I'm looking forward to it."

Although Fusheng felt that there was some truth in what he said, he still crouched down to take a closer look, only to find that the jar seemed to be cast to the ground and could not be moved at will.

Fang Ling went up to the stone platform and lit up the huge glass lamps around him one by one. The whole cave suddenly became much brighter.

Fang Ling was shocked to realize that the space here was not actually small, it was just a small span, but it was very high.

Compared with the lying vase-shaped cave outside, the cave inside looks more like a vertical vase.

In the glow of the fire, the top of the cave could not be seen at all, and only a black square tripod seemed to be vaguely hanging above the stone platform.This square tripod is similar in shape to the one outside, but the material is different.

From a distance, it seems to be somewhat similar to the coffin on the stone platform.Could it also be made of dragon crystal?In this way, it is matched with the coffin.

However, the inner and outer coffins have always been matched with coffins, because they are also used to hold corpses.How can it be connected with the sacrificial Fang Ding here?
Even if it goes back to the time of the ancestors of the He family, Fang Ding is only used for cooking, and it has nothing to do with the coffin.

Looking at the square tripod, there are many winding copper rods connected in all directions, all the way into the cave wall, like a huge metal shelf.

What's strange is that this metal frame is not connected horizontally, like a strange spider web, with only longitude but no latitude.

On top of the copper rod, there is a delicately carved copper pendant that looks like a lantern hanging every foot or so, hanging densely in the air.

In addition, there is a leather banner full of strange symbols drawn on the side of each stick that is dragged from the top to the ground.

Fang Ling's trip was only to inspect the corpse, so he didn't care much about other things, so he went straight to the coffin.

Fortunately, this place is only a Gu hole, not a tomb well, and the second wife's body is only temporarily stored here, and has not been covered and sealed.

Inside the coffin was a fine golden nanmu coffin, in which an older woman with a rich face, neat and solemn appearance was lying upright inside.

Although the complexion had turned gray, the skin seemed to still retain a considerable amount of moisture, and it was still partially elastic when pressed. It was not at all obvious that the person had been dead for more than 20 days.

But what made Fang Ling very uncomfortable was that the large corpse spots on the woman's face were still clearly visible even though she was covered with thick powder makeup.

Yu Xiaoting once said that after death, due to the blockage of blood vessels, deposits and infiltration often occur, and then corpse spots are formed on the surface of the skin.

If the person was injured during life, such as being hit, squeezed, tied, etc., they will all show up after rigor mortis.Even the posture at the time of death, whether prone, lying down or lying on the back, will cause the distribution of body spots to be different.

As far as the obvious blood deposits on the wife's face are concerned, she should have been lying face down for a long time after death.

Judging from what Fang Ling learned from the little maid who brought tea and fruits during the day, He Lianchi immediately rushed in with his people after hearing the sound.

It can be seen that in order to maintain the scene, He Lianchi allowed his biological mother to lie dead in the treasure house for a day and night until the old sect leader He returned.Even the body was not moved during this period, which is evident from his cold and cold heart.

It is said that the lady was stabbed in the abdomen and died.

Fang Ling carefully untied his clothes, only to see corpse spots deposited on his chest and abdomen, and his abdomen was slightly collapsed.There was indeed a two-inch wide wound on the right abdomen, and the wound was rolled and shrunken, which was obviously caused before death.

However, Fang Ling was a little confused about this location. It was actually on the lower right side of the abdomen.

Madam is about the same height as herself, but He Lianfeng is half a head taller than Fusheng.If the two of them were facing each other, then He Lianfeng was not left-handed. If he was holding a short blade in his right hand, he would have stabbed the left side of his upper abdomen.

Fang Ling beckoned Fu Sheng to take the dagger he carried with him, and opened the wound.

I saw that the wound was neat, narrow and thin, and it was indeed caused by a sharp weapon such as a dagger.

Fang Ling reached in with his hand and found that the wound was about three inches deep and penetrated diagonally upwards. However, it only penetrated the sebum and did not damage the vital organs.

So shallow, obviously not enough to kill.

Looking at the whole body of the corpse, including the back, neck, arms, and outside of the legs, there are no traces even in the places where resistance injuries are most likely to occur.

It was obvious that the murderer had struck a fatal blow with one blow, but it was not known exactly where this move was used. In short, it was definitely not the stab in the abdomen.

And there's clearly a problem here.Since it can be fatal with one move, why leave an obvious but not fatal wound on the abdomen?

Could it be that the murderer used trauma as a cover-up because the method used by the murderer was extremely covert but could easily reveal his identity?
The word poison suddenly appeared in Fang Ling's mind.
