After the luck of rebirth was taken away, the true and false daughters teamed up

Chapter 42

Seeing this scene, Song Shirou couldn't help but be stunned.

In her ridiculous dreams, she remembered that Xie Rugu had nothing to do with Song Shiyun.

Moreover, in her dream, Song Shiyun died in the end.

And her death seemed to be attributed to Xie Rugu.

But looking at the two of them now, they seem to have a good relationship?
"The second young lady has a good relationship with Prince Dingguo?" As if to verify Song Shirou's guess, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but murmur.

See, everyone else thinks so.

Song Shirou pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Guo didn't notice anything and kept saying, "Looking at Prince Dingguo talking about the second sister, it seems that he really regards the second young lady as his own sister."

Song Shirou remembered that Xie Ru had just called her, Miss Third.

But she called Song Shiyun her second sister.

The difference is indeed quite obvious.

Thinking of this, Song Shirou couldn't help but lower her head.

……

Song Shiyun walked upstream along the river and saw Xie Rugu following him.

Song Shiyun said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is really at ease."

Xie Ru folded his arms and followed Song Shiyun casually, "How can this be called leisure? Second sister, isn't she going to investigate the case? I'm here to help second sister. This is of course a serious matter."

Hearing his seriousness, Song Shiyun paused and looked over coolly, "Who knew I wanted to investigate the case?"

Xie Rugu raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it investigating the case? Where are the second sisters going?"

Song Shiyun choked: "..."

Of course she wanted to find out what happened to so many corpses.

The corpse was so strange, the way it died was strange, and the way it was treated after death was also strange.

She had a guess in mind, but she didn't have enough evidence yet.

She wanted to find out whether the deaths of those people were related to her death.

Xie Ruji obviously knew this and was still choking her.

Why hadn't she noticed before that Xie Ru was so annoying?

Song Shiyun's face darkened and he walked forward expressionlessly.

Xie Rugu looked at her angry look, curled her lips, folded her arms, and continued to follow Song Shiyun casually.

Song Shiyun followed the river all the way up.

She could clearly feel that the further upstream she went, the heavier the yin energy on the river became.

But when he was about to approach the mountain road of Huangjue Temple, the Yin Qi suddenly stopped.

Like being cut off with a knife.

It's like being blocked.

Song Shiyun suddenly remembered that when the little girl stayed in Lin Miaoer's embroidery building, her Yin Qi was also trapped in the small courtyard of the embroidery building.

She thought at the time that it was the little girl's own ability.

But now it seems that it may not be the little girl's behavior, but some kind of magic that secretly controls the yin energy in her and those corpses to prevent it from radiating out?

Thinking of this, Song Shiyun's heart sank.

She walked to the river, looked at the seemingly calm lake water, and reached into it.

As soon as her fingers entered the river water, a freezing cold air surged up and wrapped around her fingers, as if they had found a place to stay, scrambling to penetrate into her body.

Song Shiyun recited the mantra silently, and the Yin Qi on his fingertips immediately dissipated.

Song Shiyun was about to stand up when Xie Rugu's voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Here, what is it?"

When Song Shiyun heard this, he turned his head and looked over, and saw Xie Rugu standing by the river a few steps away from her, staring at the soil on the river bank, not knowing what he was looking at.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun walked over, stood next to Xie Rugu, and took a closer look.

The next second, her eyebrows wrinkled.

Song Shiyun squatted down, picked up the branches next to him, and pushed aside the soil on the bank next to the river.

Pulling it apart slightly, a trace of red soil was revealed under the soil.

However, Song Shiyun's intuition told her that it was definitely not ordinary soil.

She reached out and picked up a piece of red soil and rubbed it on her fingertips. A touch of red spread on her fingertips.

This color is...

"It's cinnabar."

Xie Rugu suddenly spoke.

Song Shiyun looked up at him, "Have you seen it a long time ago?"

Xie Ruyi blinked, "No, didn't I just say that because the second sister rubbed it open and crushed it, and it seemed to be the color of cinnabar?"

he said, laughing again.

He looks simple and easy to get along with.

Song Shiyun felt like his breath was stuck in his throat.

Xie Ruji obviously saw something, but pretended to be here.Song Shiyun couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't noticed before that Xie Ru was so annoying and so good at pretending?
After Song Shiyun finished cursing, with a dark face, he walked along the river bank, peeling away layers of soil and inspecting it.

Along both sides of the river bank, there are many traces of cinnabar.

However, the distribution of those cinnabars is a bit interesting.

It is not simply spread evenly along the river bank.

Rather, it appears in segments.

Sometimes a ball of cinnabar will appear two or three steps away.

Sometimes, a little cinnabar appears after several meters.

The law of this distribution...

Song Shiyun and Xie Ru were standing at the upper reaches of the river, looking down.

The distribution of those cinnabar seemed to appear directly in Song Shiyun's mind.

Looking clearly at the distribution map in his mind, Song Shiyun's pupils trembled slightly.

This seems to be... a formation?
Song Shiyun pursed his lips, ignored Xie Rugu beside him, and hurried back towards the way he came.

Xie Rugu glanced at the cinnabar red marks on the river bank, looked careless, and followed Song Shiyun back one behind the other.

When the two people went back, the river bank was shrouded in deathly silence.

Two more bodies have been recovered.

Like the first body that was salvaged, the death was tragic and the corpse was horrific.

As the corpses appeared on the river bank, everyone's expressions became more and more ugly, and they did not dare to breathe.

Song Shiyun walked back quickly, his cold voice breaking the silence.

"How many people were recovered in total? Are they nine corpses?"

Capt. Zhao was staring at the river with a sullen face. When he heard Song Shiyun's words, he turned his head and was a little surprised, "Second Miss? The body has not been completely recovered. Why did the Second Miss suddenly ask this?"

Song Shiyun paused, "Have you not finished salvaging yet?"

Capt. Zhao sighed: "It's not that simple. There are many corpses, and every corpse is... like this..."

He pointed at the three bodies that had been recovered.

"It takes several people to lift the body up. It's a bit difficult..."

When Song Shiyun heard this, he didn't say anything else. He walked in the direction pointed by Capt. Zhao and stood in front of the corpses.

All three bodies were disposed of in the same manner.

At first glance, they are carved from the same mold.

Song Shiyun squatted down and broke open the iron piece on one of the corpses with his bare hands.

The incense ashes inside suddenly dispersed.

There is no solidification at all.

When Zhao Captou saw this scene, he just wanted to persuade Song Shiyun that the deceased was the most important, so it would be better not to offend the deceased in this way.

However, before he could speak, he saw Song Shiyun reaching out and pulling out all the ashes, then turning over the flesh of the corpse, not knowing what he was looking at.

Seeing this scene, Capt. Zhao almost vomited.

The other people next to him turned their heads one after another, not daring to look directly.

Song Shiyun looked around the dug out flesh, and saw faintly visible red lines on it.

It has fallen off a bit, but if you look carefully, you can still see that those red lines should be drawn with cinnabar.

Threads of red threads are entangled together to form runes.

It's just that there are missing parts. Even people in Xuanmen may not think of runes when they see these red lines.

But when Song Shiyun saw these runes, he thought of the cinnabar he had just seen on the river bank.

Song Shiyun's face darkened, and he checked the other two corpses as usual.

really.

On each corpse, there are traces of red lines where the incense ash was poured.

Not only that……

The first body recovered belonged to the little girl brought by Song Shiyun.

There were some special red marks on the heart and face of the corpse.

This is something the other two corpses don't have.

Song Shiyun's heart sank.

At this moment, she felt some movement in the Soul Binding Talisman in her sleeve.

That is the soul-binding talisman that hides the little girl's soul.

Song Shiyun pinched the soul-binding talisman and felt the vibration inside the soul-binding talisman.

The little girl seemed to be furious in the Soul Holding Talisman.

Through the Soul Binding Talisman, she could feel the evil energy that suddenly burst out from the little girl's body.

Is it related to seeing her body?

Song Shiyun glanced around, quietly took out the soul-retention talisman, and released the little girl.

As soon as she came out, she let out a miserable whimper, and the evil aura all over her body made the air around her become much colder in an instant.
