Urban Witcher

The back door was a small arched door, also made of wood. Chen Yue went over and pushed it open, and the three of them walked in.

There is only one courtyard in the Taoist temple, with a Taoist temple in the middle and tile-roofed houses on all sides, bordering each other, which looks like a courtyard. There is a huge incense burner in the middle of the Taoist temple, and a pair of incense burners on the side. good.

Chen Yue looked around and shouted loudly: "Master!"

He called out several times, but no one answered.

Ye Shaoyang suggested to look for it, so the three of them separated, one person was in charge of a row of houses, and they searched one by one. When they encountered locked doors, they knocked on the doors and leaned on the windows to look.

The row that Ye Shaoyang was looking for was all bedrooms. Thinking that there are only two masters and apprentices in this Taoist temple, these rooms should be for those pilgrims. These rooms are for them.

Ye Shaoyang leaned on the window and looked in from room to room. The facilities inside were simple, with only a bed and a cabinet. You can get an overview at a glance. Ye Shaoyang quickly finished his search and came to Chen Yue.

"No one, unless someone is hiding in the cabinet." Ye Shaoyang said.

Guagua also searched again, and came back and told them that there was a kitchen and a warehouse over there, and there was no one there.

Chen Yue stood outside a room door for a long time, and pushed the door hard, but it didn't open. She reached out and groped for the door lock, grabbed the door handle and lifted it hard, and the door opened.

"So familiar?" Ye Shaoyang said.

"This is my bedroom. When I saw this door, I remembered it." Chen Yue walked in impatiently.

There are more furniture in the room than those in the wing rooms, but it is still very simple, the walls are a bit dark, the floor is still cement, and there is a wooden bed against the wall, and there is a big SpongeBob doll on the bed. There are several clothes, and on top are some underwear.

Chen Yue blushed and walked over, stuffing the underwear into the cabinet below.

Ye Shaoyang pretended not to see it, wandered around the room, and said, "This is where you live, why doesn't it even have a TV?"

Chen Yue walked to the low cabinet on the opposite side, pointed to it and said, "There used to be a TV here, but because there was always a power outage on the top of the mountain, it was damaged by damp after a period of time, so I didn't buy it again, and I don't like watching TV very much."

"Then what are you doing, reading?" Ye Shaoyang found a bookshelf, walked over, and glanced at it. Most of them were scriptures or manuscripts. Only the names were written on the spine with a brush. There were Tao Te Ching, Qing Jing Jing, Tai Shang The Induction Chapter, Happy Journey, etc. are all Taoist classics, but there are some published books on the bookshelf next to it.

Not world famous works, but classic classics such as Mengxi Bi Tan, Shan Hai Jing, and Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes. In the bottom row, there are some poetry collections and contemporary works.

"You are really educated..." Ye Shaoyang expressed his admiration.

"There's nothing to do in the mountains, just read."

"No, no, don't be modest. It has nothing to do with the mountains. I have lived in the mountains for more than ten years, so I am not as studious as you." Ye Shaoyang scratched his head embarrassingly.

Chen Yue walked slowly in the room, and finally came to the window, opened the window to look outside, and outside was the rock wall of the mountain, and there was a small gap between the window and a bunch of flowers and a banana tree.

"Don't bother me, let me calm down and think about it."

As Chen Yue said, she lay on the window, looked at the banana tree and became dazed. After a while, she got up again and walked to the outside yard, walking slowly. After a while, she suddenly took a deep breath and turned around. Looking at Ye Shaoyang, he said, "I remembered everything..."

Before Ye Shaoyang could speak, she walked quickly to a room with a locked door. Chen Yue stood in front of the door and said, "This is my master's room."

"Is no one here?"

The doors are wooden and have some big gaps in the middle due to age. Chen Yue lay on the crack of the door and looked at it for a while, then suddenly trembled all over, kicked the door open with force, and rushed in.

Ye Shaoyang didn't know what happened, so he followed in, and saw a person sitting on the bed at first glance, and was stunned when he looked again: the person on the bed was a corpse.

A woman in a long gown, with half-white hair, looked about sixty or seventy years old, sitting cross-legged on the bed, probably dead for a long time, her flesh and blood were dried, her face stuck to her bones, her eyes closed, but Weirdly maintained a motionless posture.

Because it was winter, the corpse did not decompose, but was directly air-dried, turning into a mummy.

"Master—"

Chen Yue fell down in front of the corpse and burst into tears.

Guagua silently accompanied her, comforting her.

Chen Yue cried aloud for a while, then gradually calmed down, choked up and said, "She committed suicide."

"It looks like it is." Ye Shaoyang said, if it was a homicide, it would be unreasonable for the murderer to put her in such a sitting posture, and there was no obvious trauma on her body.

"But she has no reason to commit suicide... My master Qingxiu has seen through everything for decades. It is impossible for her to commit suicide, impossible..."

Ye Shaoyang didn't know Taoist Shi, so it was difficult to strike up a conversation. He thought about it for a while and said, "Your condolences. Seeing that she died so calmly, she probably left some last words. You can look for them."

This sentence reminded Chen Yue that after searching in the room, she still couldn't find anything.

Ye Shaoyang advised her not to worry, she can stay here tonight and look for it slowly.

The two discussed it and decided that the deceased should be buried in peace. At this time, Chen Yue had recovered his memory, went to the warehouse by himself, brought a shovel, and asked Ye Shaoyang to help carry the corpse—most people dare not carry the corpse. The main reason is to be afraid of bad luck, but Ye Shaoyang is an immortal (in the previous chapters, Ye Shaoyang was said to be a spirit fairy, I really remembered it wrong, so I hereby correct it), any bad luck will not touch him.

The three of them went out the back door, Chen Yue thought for a while, and decided to bury her in a place on the top of the mountain. Shi Daosheng liked to clean up there. As for Feng Shui, she has no descendants, so she doesn't care about it.

Going around from the back door, there is a small path that extends to the very top.

Ye Shaoyang carried the corpse on his back, thinking about the whole thing, and felt more and more strange: he had checked the corpse before, and the time of death was at least one month, and according to Chen Yue's memory, she disappeared more than a month ago (about how she disappeared , she has no memory at all, the impression is that she lay down and slept well the day before, and the memory after that is gone, and she was switched to the unreal world), her master was still fine at that time.

In other words, her master died after she disappeared, and it would not be too long... Is there any causal relationship between these two events? ()
