A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

At midnight, everything was quiet, and the entire Liu Mansion was immersed in silence.

Sheng Zhiyu and Gu Xingzhou asked Qi Heyi to hang out outside the mourning hall and make noises to remind them whenever anyone came over.

The mourning hall was pure white, with a large nanmu coffin parked in the center with huge white flowers tied on it.

On the altar table was a photo of Liu Qianqian during her lifetime. She was a girl with delicate features and delicate features.

Because it was not a burial, the coffin was not sealed and the lid could be easily removed.

Liu Qianqian was lying quietly in the coffin covered with white chrysanthemums. Her face was rosy and shiny, and she looked very peaceful. She didn't look like she was dying of some disease.

"Senior brother, I have to take off her clothes." Sheng Zhiyu reminded, "otherwise you should stay away."

She was also afraid of disrespecting the dead.

Gu Xingzhou didn't want to look, so he turned his back.

Sheng Zhiyu slowly untied Liu Qianqian's clothes, folded them carefully and put them aside, and then carefully inspected her body.

There were no wounds on Liu Qianqian's body. After six days of rest, there was not even a trace of odor, and there was even an indescribable aroma.

Sheng Zhiyu looked for a long time and found nothing unusual, so he could only check the inside of the body.

So she opened Liu Qianqian's mouth and found a red jade bead inside.

In the past, people did hold something in their mouth after death. For example, Empress Dowager Cixi held a luminous pearl in her mouth.

There is even a saying that the emperor carries jade, the princes carry pearls, and the great officials carry rice.

But Mayor Liu has never believed in this, so why would he put a bead in Liu Qianqian's mouth?

Moreover, the color of this bead is also a bit strange. Most beads are white or green. This bead is really as red as blood, which looks a bit weird.

Sheng Zhiyu thought for a while, took the beads out of Liu Qianqian's mouth, then spread her legs and examined her lower body.

There was nothing unusual from the outside, but when Sheng Zhiyu turned on the flashlight and observed carefully, he discovered that Liu Qianqian's hymen was still there.

In other words, she and Chen Jingrun did not have a relationship.

Sheng Zhiyu had just finished checking and dressing Liu Qianqian when Qi Heyi suddenly made a sound outside the door.

Gu Xingzhou quickly closed the coffin lid and hid under the table covered with tablecloth with Sheng Zhiyu, ready to teleport if anything went wrong.

As soon as they took cover, several people came in.

They were just a few masked men in black, one of whom was carrying a female body dressed exactly like Liu Qianqian on his shoulders.

"Quickly, open the coffin and change the person." One of the men in black looked around and found that there was no one in the mourning hall, and then ordered the others.

Sheng Zhiyu and Gu Xingzhou looked at each other. Someone came to steal Liu Qianqian's body?

After a man in black opened the coffin lid, he praised: "The Blood Demon Jade Beads are indeed useful. After all this time, the body still shows no signs of decay."

"Hurry up, the master can't wait any longer." Another man in black urged.

The man in black carried Liu Qianqian's body on his shoulders, placed the body they brought with him in the coffin, closed the coffin lid, and the group left under the cover of night.

Gu Xingzhou shook Sheng Zhiyu's finger. Sheng Zhiyu immediately understood what he meant, and followed the group of men in black with Gu Xingzhou.

They are all cultivators. If they hide their aura deliberately, these men in black will not be able to detect it.

As expected, the man in black didn't realize that he was being followed, and walked around in circles to the Chen family's ancestral hall.

Gu Xingzhou hugged Sheng Zhiyu's waist: "Hold on."

Seeing Sheng Zhiyu nodding, Gu Xingzhou jumped to the top of the ancestral hall using Qinggong.

The Chen family is a traditional oriental building with a roof made of tiles. As long as the tiles are removed, you can see clearly what is going on in the room.

The head of the Chen family was sitting upright in the ancestral hall. He looks to be in his forties, full of majesty, and is very difficult to mess with at first glance.

Several men in black placed Liu Qianqian's body in a crystal coffin next to the ancestral hall: "Master, the matter has been settled."

The head of the Chen family nodded and said, "How can the body of my Chen family's wife be left outside? Wouldn't it make people laugh if it spread?"

Several men in black even said that the head of the family was wise.

Sheng Zhiyu wondered whether stealing the body in the middle of the night was just to bury Liu Qianqian in their ancestral grave?

However, the head of the Chen family suddenly frowned: "Why do I smell the smell of corpses?"

Several men in black looked at each other: "When we opened the coffin, there was no corpse smell."

"No!" The head of the Chen family stepped forward hurriedly and opened Liu Qianqian's mouth.

Sure enough, Liu Qianqian's mouth was empty, with the blood-red bead gone.

Gu Xingzhou glanced at Sheng Zhiyu when he saw this.

Sheng Zhiyu took out the red bead from her pocket and indicated that she had indeed taken it during the autopsy.

"A bunch of idiots, the Blood Demon Jade Pearl has been taken away, what use do we have with this corpse!" The head of the Chen family roared angrily.

The leader of the men in black immediately knelt down and said, "Reporting to the head of the family, when we opened the coffin, there was really nothing abnormal about the body."

The head of the Chen family said angrily: "It must have been taken away for less than a quarter of an hour. As long as the Blood Demon Jade Bead leaves the body for a quarter of an hour, the body will begin to rot. We must find the Blood Demon Jade Bead before Liu Qianqian completely rots!" "

"But, we don't know who took it away?" the leader of the men in black said.

The head of the Chen family snorted coldly: "Who else could it be? It must be that old man Liu Yanlang. I just said that the water thrown by the married daughter was thrown away. Why did he still ask for his daughter's body back? It turned out that this was the one who was beaten idea.

It seems that he somehow learned the secret of my Chen family’s blood demon jade beads. The Liu family can no longer keep them! "

"But head of the family, we have already reached an agreement with the Liu family. Liu Qianqian will marry another girl immediately after her funeral." The leader of the man in black reminded.

The head of the Chen family calmed down: "We really need this girl. If that old man Liu Yanlang dies, the engagement between the two families will probably be cancelled.

You guys sneaked into Liu's house and must find the Blood Demon Jade Pearl. As soon as the niece of the Liu family gets married, the Liu family will be wiped out immediately! "

"Yes, subordinates, go find them now!" Several men in black immediately disappeared into the night.

"Who?!" As soon as the man in black left, the head of the Chen family immediately noticed the unfamiliar aura.

He also had deep inner strength, and now that there was no interference, he naturally noticed that there was someone on the roof.

Gu Xingzhou's eyes flashed, and he immediately teleported with Sheng Zhiyu.

The next second, the roof cracked open, and the figure of the head of the Chen family burst out of the roof, only to find that there was no one under the silent night.

"Am I feeling wrong?" the head of the Chen family murmured.

Over there, Gu Xingzhou and Sheng Zhiyu appeared in Qi Heyi's room.

Qi Heyi himself waited anxiously, and when he saw the two of them appearing, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior and senior, where have you been?"
