Apprentice: I live in Xuanjie, from nine to five

"It may take some time to pack such a big box." Ye Chen took out the golden cicada brocade from his pocket, and began to pack the gold for Lan Xin.

The repeated mechanical movements made Ye Chen's wrist a little sore.It wasn't until the box was full that Lan Xin left Tuosha Peak with the box in her arms.

Ye Chen stretched his muscles and sighed: "This Jiang Lin, I'm afraid he treats me like a cornucopia..."

If this goes on like this, it is not a good idea to ask him for money every three days.

……

It was getting late, Ye Chen returned to Huaqing Palace, and decided to sleep in the alchemy furnace room.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he bumped into Luo Qingcheng head-on.

Seeing that her face was pale and flustered, her forehead was covered with thin beads of sweat.

Ye Chen hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

Luo Qingcheng's legs and feet were so frightened that he lost his footing and fell to the ground.

She looked at Ye Chen with a terrified look, and begged: "I beg you, help me pack my luggage, I don't want to stay any longer..."

Ye Chen asked again: "What happened?"

He was suddenly frightened like this, could it be that he encountered something incredible?
Luo Qingcheng grabbed Ye Chen's sleeve and said tremblingly, "Upstairs... there is... a female corpse!"

After she had a good night's sleep and woke up, she had nothing to do and climbed up to the second floor of Huaqing Palace. Unexpectedly, she saw a female corpse on the attic, which frightened her a lot.

"Huh?" Ye Chen was stunned.

If Luo Qingcheng told him that he was so frightened by a ghost, it would be more credible than the corpse of a woman upstairs.

"Is there a female corpse upstairs?"

The noise disturbed Ruan Xingfei who was resting in the room. She walked out of the room in doubt and asked Ye Chen what happened.

"It's fine, why is there a female corpse hidden in this building?"

Ye Chen couldn't understand it. Although he didn't live in the palace, it was too strange that there was a female corpse inexplicably.

What's more, when he first got Huaqing Palace, Ye Chen went in and looked inside and out. There was nothing unusual upstairs, downstairs, or in every room.

At this time Xia Wan'er also came out of the room. After learning about the general situation, Ye Chen decided to let Xia Wan'er take care of Luo Qingcheng first, and then he took Ruan Xingfei upstairs to have a look.

When the two were going up the stairs, Ye Chen asked, "Have you ever gone up to this loft before?"

Ruan Xingfei replied, "I'm not so free."

Not only did she never go up, but even the rest of Ye Chen's disciples stayed in their own room and never went to the attic of Huaqing Palace.

If it wasn't for Luo Qingcheng's boredom, she wouldn't have climbed up to hang out.

……

At this time, the lights in the attic were automatically lit, the corridors were brightly lit, and the atmosphere was very normal.

The two masters and apprentices opened each room one by one, but they did not see the female corpse that Luo Qingcheng was talking about.

Ruan Xingfei sneered and said, "Could it be that she wanted to leave and acted on purpose?"

Ye Chen recalled Luo Qingcheng's pale face, and said, "But she does look terrified, she doesn't seem to be pretending... Let's take a closer look."

Just when Ye Chen opened the last room, he suddenly froze.

In the empty room, sitting cross-legged was a female corpse in a golden robe.

Due to the passage of time, the corpse was pale and dry, like a wax figure, but the clothing of the female corpse was well preserved, and the beads and hairpins of the hairpin were not contaminated with any dust.

Just like new.

Ye Chen looked at it carefully, and said, "Good guy, why haven't I seen it before..."

Maybe it's because this room is too remote, Ye Chen didn't come to check it.

Ruan Xingfei asked suddenly: "I'm curious, how did you get this palace."

Ye Chen thought about it for a while, and said: "I met it in a wasteland. I went in and looked around, and there was no one there. When I came out, I found that the palace could be changed in size at will, so I took it away in my pocket."

Ruan Xingfei took a closer look. The female corpse was sitting cross-legged, as if she was practicing meditation.

And her body didn't rot, as if it had been dried in the shade, it showed a white waxy shape.

Ruan Xingfei analyzed: "Is it possible that the owner of this palace was practicing in this room at that time, but you didn't realize that you trapped her here after shrinking the palace..."

Ye Chen panicked and said, "You mean... I was killed by others?"

No way, no way, did this woman kill herself?

Ruan Xingfei made another cut, and said, "Look at her corpse, it's obviously dried in the shade. I think there's a good chance it's what I inferred."

"Don't talk, let me think about it."

How could this work, Ye Chen began to try hard to recall the situation at that time.

At that time, he had just arrived in Xuanjie, and he happened to see this hall in a wasteland with Huaqing Palace written on the plaque.

Thinking that some high-ranking person lived there, he decided to go in and visit.

But who knew that there was no one in the hall, and there was no trace of people living in it. He went through every room again, but he didn't find anyone.

After discovering that the daily necessities needed by the residents can be changed in this palace, he still practiced in this palace for three months.

He didn't see anyone, and when he finally left for business, he found that the palace had suddenly turned into a small toy-like shape, so he took it away in his pocket.

If Ye Chen really killed him, it can only be said to be an unintentional mistake.

The mummy in front of him made Ye Chen feel very uncomfortable, he sighed: "Hey, how could this happen..."

If he had known this earlier, he shouldn't have picked up cheap ones at that time.

Ruan Xingfei said indifferently: "Anyway, people are dead, and it's useless to struggle. Let's think about how to deal with it."

Ye Chen replied: "Okay, I'll take care of it. You go down to appease Miss Luo first, and say that this female corpse is an elder who emerged from Tuosha Peak. Don't let her really go away."

Ruan Xingfei nodded and left the attic.

Ye Chen searched around the room for a while, but did not find any traces related to the female corpse.

This room was obviously a vacancy.

Ye Chen murmured unconsciously: "It's strange, why did you choose such a hidden room to meditate and practice..."

But just like what Ruan Xingfei said, it's useless to struggle any longer, the person has already gone.

All that needs to be done now is to dispose of the corpse.

Ye Chen bowed to the female corpse, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I hurt you."

That's when Ye Chen decided to take the body outside the hall and cremate it.

Suddenly, a book cut out of parchment fell out of the female corpse's sleeve when Ye Chen was moving the corpse.

Ye Chen was very puzzled, picked up the book and flipped through it casually, and found that he couldn't understand a single word.

Presumably this is an ancient book in the mysterious world, and I'm afraid I'll have to look up a lot of information to understand it.

Ye Chen put the ancient book into his sleeve, and carefully carried the female corpse out of Huaqing Palace.

Ye Chen bowed again and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to cremate you now."

Otherwise, it is not a solution to keep it in the house.
