My wife kills me because she has me in her heart!

Chapter 48 Hand Bones
  "If there is really something underneath, and the person who opened the altar doesn't have enough mana to suppress it, he will probably escape along this road. So now he has regained enough strength and is back?"

The more Yan Conling thought about it, the more he frowned, "No, it's not quite right. Then why did you wait more than twenty years before taking action?"

If one only absorbs blood essence and lifespan that can be counted on one hand in twenty years, the speed of the increase in strength should not be so fast.

Regardless of whether you are a cultivator or a ghost, you must follow the rules honestly. Even if you take the wrong path, you still have to pay the price.

The closer to the river, the heavier the smell becomes.

The water surface was gray and half-covered in fog, as if there were pieces of iron sinking into the air and entering the body along with the breath, which made people feel chilly in their lungs.

Yan Conling was about to step forward to check, but someone suddenly shouted from behind.

"That's incredible! The crazy scholar son of the old Liu family has lost his fortune, and he just fished a dowry out of the water! It looks very valuable!"

Because of the so-called facial expression, most people here are obsessed with this feeling of getting something for nothing. I left the original work at hand and gathered around to eat melon seeds and chat.

When I heard it now, I immediately gathered around with cheers.

"Where? Where?"

"Oh, the old Liu family has made a fortune before, and now they have a fortune!"

"That's what he said, but his son's brain is like that, so he will have to spend a lot of money to see a doctor..."

Pushing aside the chattering crowd, Yan Congling walked towards the center.

She was slender, but no one dared to stop her. Soon, she saw the crazy scholar sitting on the ground surrounded by crowds of people, her eyes empty and vacant.

His hair was still dripping with water, and he held a gilt makeup box tightly in his arms.

"Are you in the water?"

Yan Conling squatted down and asked, regardless of whether he could understand or not, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me this first."

The scholar hugged him tighter, shaking his head and refusing, "Yin, Yin! I want money..."

You can only use softness when dealing with this kind of people.

With a slight sigh, Yan Conngling took out the purse that was not full and said, "There is no silver in that box. Give it to me. I will give you as much silver as you want."

The scholar raised a finger.

At this moment, the reaction was numb.

"One thousand taels!"

The girl in front of her didn't make a sound. She only held the poor purse. After a moment of silence, she quickly stood up and threw out a holding charm.

"Bring it to you."

One thousand taels... She had to sell Lou Qixue's tail to get it together.

This scholar is simply a money bag. No wonder he is the first among so many people to lose his mind.

The moment I got the gift box, I realized it was much heavier than expected.

The Demon Suppression Department has regulations that such things of unknown origin cannot be opened directly in public.

So, she asked the enchantress in the Qiankun bag and found a secluded place with no one.

"I'll drive it."

The warmth suddenly disappeared from her neck, and Xiu Ruo Mingyu's fingers lightly rested on the back of her hand. His eyes slowly moved up, and what caught his eye was Lou Qixue's gorgeous face, with a hint of worry and uneasiness hidden in his eyes.

The trajectory has been messed up.

At this time in her previous life, she was recovering from her injuries and had not gotten to know the He family's mother and daughter. She unexpectedly made this trip after finding out the news...

This was originally what he wanted to see, but now he didn't deviate even one bit, and even taking a risk made his heart tighten.

"It's just a dowry, it's okay."

Yan Conling was looking down at the little golden lock on it, not noticing the change in the other person's expression, "I've seen more dangerous things than this one. If you're scared, you can stay close to me and don't look at it. I'll call you after I open it." .”

It was rare for her to be gentle, but it was her standard way of soothing people when working. This has always been the case in the past. After all, there are only a few people who have the strength and opportunity to practice, and the majority of the people are ordinary people. Vulnerability can easily amplify fear, and how to calm these people's emotions is also one of the tasks.

In every previous mission, Yan Conling had always done this, but today it was the first time that he encountered an adult man who was comforted and gave such a direct reaction.

The moment the heat source attached to the back vest, her hand to open the lock paused. When she saw the hand tightly clasped around her waist from the corner of her eye, her forehead jumped sharply.

"If you act like this, if there really is something in the box, you won't be able to hide."

If he hadn't known that he was usually such a coy and slimy person, he would have doubted whether he and the suspect were in the same group.

Although Lou Qixue usually didn't talk about it, nor did he take the initiative to mention it, the details were still revealed uncontrollably.

Perhaps because he is a shaggy canine, he is extremely clingy and tries his best to stick to people.

"You asked me to hold you."

His tone was a little aggrieved.

Yan Conling was still angry, "I want you to be close to me, not to be hugged."

He was like this, and he had only seen it in young girls who had just begun to fall in love. I don’t know how I have cultivated for thousands of years to develop such a brain.

Click.

The golden lock fell to the ground.

The dossier was slowly opened.

It was pitch black inside. Almost the moment he saw what was inside, Yan Congling's pupils shrank sharply and he quickly closed it again!
  But still a little slower.

A heavy bronze mirror fell out.

Accompanied by a cold sound, a piece of white finger bone was wrapped around it. The evil spirit that had not been discovered by the river before was now filled with madness...

"What's inside?"

Lou Qixue picked up the bronze mirror and asked.

Her hand was too fast, and he didn't have time to see clearly just now.

"Hand bones, hand bones broken into many pieces."

Yan Conngling was still frightened, "No wonder I didn't feel any evil aura just now. This thing turned out to be hiding."

It is conscious and knows how to hide.

I just didn't expect that while others didn't dare to go into the water easily, the crazy scholar did, and he just happened to fish it out.

"If they are scattered in the river, they will be very likely to cause trouble..." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly gritted her teeth when she thought of something, "I'm afraid, it will be more than one hand."

A complete skeleton, with most of its torso still intact.

"It seems to be a woman."

Lou Qixue put the finger bones into the Qiankun bag for her, and learned from the experience and lessons from the last time the temple was destroyed. To be on the safe side, there will now be an extra layer of confinement.

"This mirror..."

Yan Congling looked at the rusty bronze mirror. She rubbed her fingertips along the lifelike and exquisite patterns carved on it, and she felt a vague official seal on the back.

"It's something from the palace. It doesn't look like something that ordinary people can afford. But the style shouldn't be what it is now... it's probably from the palace in the past."

But she couldn't figure out how long ago it was and why it was left in such a place.

The mirror was foggy and seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.

Yan Conling raised her hand and wiped it gently, and her face was quickly printed on the mirror...

But not the face now...
