I was reborn with amnesia and was picked up by Lao Gong

A group of prisoners surrounded the gate of Tianyi Prison. Although half of their faces were covered by cloth strips, it was not difficult to see their uneasy expressions.Seeing Feng Shu coming, several prisoners breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to Feng Shu one after another.

"Master Feng Juan, according to your instructions, let everyone leave the prison and cover their mouths and noses. Only Jia Fugui's body is left in the prison."

The prisoner who was calmer just now reported to Fengshu.Beside him lay a woman with her hands bound, who must have been Mrs. Na Jia.

I don't know whether it was because of the shock or the sleeping spell, Madam Jia lay on the wet grass, motionless.

"Understood. A Yi, you and A Xiao will go to the prison with me, and the rest will wait here. Be sure to guard Mrs. Jia."

A Yi was the jailer who was talking to Feng Shu, and A Xiao was the one who was more irritable just now.

"Subordinates obey!"

The prisoners responded in unison.

Feng Shu waved his hand to lift the Tianyi Prison's confinement spell, and whispered to Ning Cheng, "Let's go, remember to be careful."

Ning Cheng nodded, followed Feng Shu to the inside of Tianyi Prison.A Yi and A Xiao who were named also followed closely behind.

After entering Tianyi Prison, Feng Shu pinched a fluorescent spell, illuminating the dim dungeon brightly.

The moment the light came on, it illuminated everyone in the prison, and also illuminated the bluish-white corpse on the right.

Even though the prison door was separated, Ning Cheng couldn't help but get goosebumps because of the weird and grotesque appearance of the corpse.

Jia Shusheng's corpse was kneeling, his lifeless eyes were wide open, his face was ferocious, and his hands were placed at the throat, as if he had experienced some pain before his death.On his right arm with bulging veins, there was also a lavender skull branded on it.

It really is that skeleton moth!

In a daze, Ning Cheng saw lights flickering, and a group of bright green moths flying around Jia Shusheng's body, filling the entire cell with skull marks.The group of moths suddenly exploded after going around a few times, and rushed straight towards him——

Ning Cheng blinked, everything was as usual.

No, it's clear here...

"Feng Jue, can you turn off the lights first?"

Feng Shu originally planned to step into the prison to check the corpse, but he stopped immediately when he heard this, without asking the reason, and directly withdrew the fluorescent spell.

After the lights were turned off, the prison was suddenly plunged into darkness, with only a little light cast down through the prison door.

In the darkness, the senses other than vision are infinitely magnified, and the sound of thin breathing echoes in the prison.

Ning Cheng shivered and said, "It's fine."

After the fire came back on, Feng Shu took off the strip of cloth underneath, saying: "Brother Ning is more careful."

A Xiao asked: "My lord, can you remove the cloth?"

Ning Cheng also pulled down the cloth strip and said, "It's ok. There is no trace of the skeleton moth here."

Feng Shu also nodded, and said: "That's true. If the skeleton moth has visited Tianyi prison, then even if there is no trace of the moth here, at least there will be fluorescent phosphor powder left.

But in the darkness, there was no green light at all, indicating that the place where this person was poisoned was not in Tianyi Prison, but somewhere else. "

A Xiao scratched his head, with a blank expression on his face: "What kind of moth? What kind of green light? Also, did this person die from poisoning? Wasn't he killed by a ghost?"

A Yi who was on the side seemed to have heard the story of the skeleton moth. After taking a look at Feng Shu, he sighed and pulled A Xiao aside to explain to him.

Ning Cheng said: "If the death of Mrs. Jia is related to Jia Shusheng, then it is also possible that he accidentally inhaled the poisonous phosphorus powder when he was catching the skeleton moth, and died suddenly three days later."

Feng Shu said: "That's right, but things shouldn't be that simple. If Jia Shusheng is well aware of the toxicity of skeleton moths, how could he be so negligent and poison himself to death?"

The two were about to think about it, but they heard screams coming from the door of Tianyi Prison.After a while, a terrified voice came from above:

"Master Feng Juan, it's not good, then Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Jia also..."

Feng Shu frowned, and said: "Ayi, Axiao, you stay here, let's go and see what's going on."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Ning Cheng up and rushed upwards.Ning Cheng was suddenly dragged away and returned to the ground in a daze.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the prison, the group of prisoners rushed to the two of them as if seeing a savior, shouting "Master, you are here", "My lord, help me", "Surely there is a ghost" and so on. Get dizzy.

"quiet!"

A loud shout pierced the night sky, and everyone fell silent in an instant.

Feng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Jia?"

An old jailer said tremblingly: "Mrs. Jia, she, like the person below, was killed by ghosts..."

Although the faces of the prisoners were full of horror, they also found a sliver of reason under Feng Shu's order, and moved to the left and right to stand apart, so that Feng Ning and the two could see Mrs. Jia's situation clearly.

Just now Madam Jia was lying on the ground with her back to them, they didn't pay attention at that time, but now they saw that Madam Jia's complexion was pale, her eyelids were half-closed, the grass under her nose was motionless, how could she look like a living person?

Ning Cheng was confused.

So, is it Jia Shusheng, or Mrs. Jia who wants to be unfavorable to Mrs. Jia?

Why did these three people die successively from the poison of the skeleton moth?

It was as if another skeleton moth appeared in front of Ning Cheng's eyes.The moth fluttered its wings, and the skull in the middle of its abdomen opened its mouth, and blood-like bright red liquid flowed from the hollow eye sockets.

He stared at the mark of the skull in the middle of Mrs. Jia's forehead, the mark gradually overlapped with the glowing green figure of the skeleton moth, slowly and precisely——

With a thought in his mind, Ning Cheng blurted out, "I see."

The surroundings were filled with death-like silence, but when Ning Cheng spoke suddenly, all eyes immediately turned to him, which made him a little embarrassed.

Ning Cheng leaned closer to Feng Shu, and said, "I... I just discovered the mystery of the shape of the cunning moth. I haven't got a clue about the Jia's case yet."

Feng Shu said: "It doesn't matter, what brother Ning thinks, just say it."

Looking at Feng Shu's face, Ning Cheng suddenly felt more confident.He said: "Feng Pan, if you were a painter, would you risk your life to go to the cemetery to meet the skeleton moth that only appeared at night?"

Feng Shu said: "Of course not." After he finished answering, he also thought of something, and opened his eyes slightly. "Could it be..."

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "That's right. When the skeleton appeared, they were overwhelmed. Those who had seen the skeleton moth almost died. Most people would not deliberately go to the cemetery after hearing that the skeleton moth is powerful. The specific appearance of this skeletal moth is all based on the imagination of the painter, and the person who was poisoned to death was marked with a skull, and the public spread the rumors, and there was a saying that the skeletal moth had a skull mark on its body."

Before Ning Cheng saw all the portraits of the moths in the Zangshu Pavilion, except for the skull mark on the abdomen, the rest were the same as ordinary moths, but there were slight differences in details.

Those books have repeatedly emphasized that the only thing that has the mark of a skull on the abdomen of the sly moth, now that I think about it, it should be the truth.

A Yi asked: "Then this skeleton moth only appears at night, is it just a rumor?"

Ning Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that. But during the day, people occasionally go to Wanren Mountain for funerals or worship. It stands to reason that even if the sly moth hides in the tomb, the bright green sly moth should fall around the cemetery." Phosphor powder, there's no reason it shouldn't be noticeable."

When Ning Cheng went to Wanren Mountain to bury his parents and servants of the Ning family, he didn't notice anything wrong with the grave, so he was sure that there must be nothing unusual in the cemetery during the day.

Feng Shu said: "Feng has an idea. It is said in the book that the skeletal moth is afraid of the sun. I am afraid that it is not that the sly moth cannot appear in the daytime, but that it is like a resentful ghost, and its resentment will drop sharply in the daytime. So it's common to make trouble at night."

He propped his chin, and said: "Therefore, that treacherous moth did not hide during the day, but was just like an ordinary moth, neither shining green light nor capable of poisoning others.

On the contrary, at night, those treacherous moths will mutate, and their body covering will change from ordinary phosphorous powder to poisonous green phosphorous powder. "

Hearing this, Ning Cheng also thought of the few light brown moths that he had startled on the day the Ning-Shan couple were buried.He didn't take a closer look at that time, but if that is the true face of the skeleton moth?

"That, that."

Ah Xiao raised his hand suddenly, and when he saw Feng Shu looking at him, he asked with a flushed face, "If the daytime moth has not hidden its body, then those who go to the grave to worship their ancestors are dyed with phosphorous powder, and they will be killed at night." , wouldn’t it be possible to inhale those poisonous phosphorus powders?”

Feng Shu said: "If you go up the mountain to worship your ancestors during the day, what will you do when you return home?"

A Xiao said: "I will take a shower and change clothes immediately... ah."

Ning Cheng suddenly said: "Yes, according to folklore, the cemetery is very cloudy, and those who have been to the cemetery will take a bath and change clothes after returning home, so as not to be contaminated with evil spirits. Therefore, even if people who have been to the cemetery during the day are stained with phosphorus The powder has also been cleaned up.”

Ning Cheng thought of the list of poisoned skeleton moths again.Most of the people recorded in the register who died due to the moth were killed alone, and no one else was affected even after returning home. Presumably, they inhaled phosphorous powder at night, and felt dirty when they returned home during the day, so they bathed and changed in time. Phosphorus is left at night to poison family members.

Feng Shu said: "If you want to prove this, you can go to the Wanrenshan Cemetery tomorrow, and you can get a glimpse of it."

If they're right, it's just a matter of catching a few moths near the cemetery before nightfall and seeing how the night goes.

A Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, it's fine if it's not a ghost, I was scared to death just now."

The prison guards at the side listened to the conversation between Feng Ning and the two, and they seemed to understand half of it, and they didn't dare to ask what was going on.

At this moment, hearing A Xiao's straightforward words, the prisoners couldn't help being amused.

Although there were still two treacherous corpses waiting to be dealt with at the scene, amidst the chuckles of the crowd, it seemed that they were not so scary anymore.

In fact, if I really want to say it, the ghost moth is the resentment of the dead, no different from ghosts...

Ning Cheng thought, it's better not to remind them of this matter.

"Master Feng, why did the Jia couple die?"

A Yi's head was still calm, and he directly pointed out the biggest doubt.

"This matter remains to be investigated. I will go to the Wanrenshan cemetery tomorrow to confirm whether the conjecture just now is correct before making any plans."

Feng Shu replied.However, even if they wanted to continue investigating the case, they would not be able to bring the prisoners with them, at most they would summon some disobedient officials.

After hearing Feng Shu's answer, A Yi nodded and stopped talking.After all, he was only a prisoner in Tianyi Prison, and it was not convenient for him to ask about the affairs of the Hall of Discipline, so he asked just now, just out of curiosity.

Hearing Ayi mention the Jia couple, Ning Cheng couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Jia's body again.

It doesn't matter if Jia Shu is alive or dead, but even Mrs. Jia who supported the Jia family...

Moreover, if both Jia's and his wife were killed, wouldn't Fu'er become an orphan?

Thinking of Fu'er, Ning Cheng couldn't help but twitch his heart.

Now, just like him, Fu'er lost her parents overnight.The dilapidated Jia Mansion is not much better than the burnt Ning Mansion.

Different from me, Fu'er is so young and has a younger brother who needs to be taken care of, so she doesn't know how to live in the future.

Ning Cheng thought that Mrs. Song would take care of Fuer and Baby Daner during the day, so he and Feng Shu would investigate the moths in the cemetery tomorrow, and visit Fuer at dusk.

He was worried about how to tell Fu'er the news of Jia's and his wife's death, so he returned to Fengyue Palace without knowing it.

Seeing Ning Cheng's absent-minded appearance, Feng Shu thought for a while, and said: "If brother Ning is worried about Fu'er, Feng Shu can send her to Lan Yantang to study, and ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing."

Ning Cheng shook his head, and said: "Lan Yan Tang is full of self-esteemed sons and sons of rich families, Fu'er will be bullied there."

Feng Shu said: "With Feng Shu here, no one will dare to bully her."

He spoke so firmly that Ning Cheng couldn't help but glance at him.

——That’s right, if Feng Shu sent Fu’er to Lanyan Hall, I’m afraid that those masters and students who follow the trend would be eager to flatter Fu’er, just to please Master Feng and be supported by the superiors. .

Thinking of this, Ning Cheng felt at ease.After he and Feng Shu exchanged good night, he curled up in his thick quilt and fell asleep.
