Chapter 63: Ruby Spirit Snake
Si Meng naturally knew Gong Bo Longhai’s doubts, so she loosened the spirit song that was imprisoned in her palm and said, “Don’t panic, Longhai, this is the monster that has been making trouble in your mansion for several days! His real body is too terrifying, so I had to order him to despise a human form to avoid scaring everyone!”
Gong Bolonghai was shocked when he heard this, and took two steps back like a conditioned reflex, his legs slightly weakened. If Luo Cheng had not helped each other, he would have almost fallen.
After a while, he finally calmed down his mind, raised his sleeve and pointed at Lingge and asked, "Say! Who are you? Why do you want to hide in my mansion and cause trouble?"
Lingge leaned slightly when he heard this, and his big black and round eyes flowed on him and Simeng's body. Finally, his long eyelashes drooped, and his eyes fell on Simeng's face. With red eyes, he stepped forward and hugged Simeng's ankles and cried, "Sister, help me, help me! Lingge was unfair! Lingge had no intention of hurting people's lives. It was those mortals who made Lingge homeless and had nowhere to go. Lingge had no choice but to steal some of their chickens and ducks."
"Oh yo! So pitiful! Don't be afraid or not! My sister is covering you!" Simeng pouted her mouth, frowned slightly, and gently stroked his hair bun, "Be good Lingge, don't cry! Tell me carefully, what's going on?"
Lingge saw that someone was making decisions for him, and his tears gradually stopped, and he talked about all the future one by one.
It turned out that Lingge was an ordinary red jade snake living in Wushi Mountain. One day three hundred years ago, while playing in the mountains, he fell into a hunter's trap and almost died. He was rescued by a passerby on the verge of death.
Lingge still clearly remembers that when he opened his eyes, he saw the person who saved him wearing a black long gown, and the cow bone hairpin on his head shone with silver light under the moonlight. Although half of his face was covered in his thick beard, his eyes were shining with light, and when he spoke, he was full of energy.
After the immortal rescued him from the trap, he placed him in a rock stone to cultivate, opened his spiritual veins for him, and taught him how to practice the mind. Before leaving, he named him Lingge, and told him to practice with peace of mind and not to play in the mountains at will. With his qualifications, he would be able to practice in the rock stone in time. If he wished to practice immortality, the immortal would order people to lead him.
In this way, Lingge stayed in the fallen stone for three hundred years. Finally, she became a human form before the New Year. However, her spiritual power was still shallow, and in the cold winter, she still could not escape the fate of hibernation.
But when I woke up this sleep, I found that the Luoyunshi, who was originally living, was far away from Wushi Mountain and inexplicably came to this mansion on earth.
At first, he hid in a stone cave every day and did not dare to go out and walk.
Because he had been hibernating for several months, he had been hungry and was already extremely hungry. About two months ago, he began to sneak out of the cave in the middle of the night and stole some chickens, ducks and birds in his mansion.
Unexpectedly, one night more than a month ago, he prepared to go out of the cave to find food as usual, but he ran into a mortal woman dressed up and flirted with her. He was afraid of revealing his tracks, so he sprayed a cloud of mist at the woman, blocking the woman's vision and hurriedly hid in the cave.
At midnight, he could hear footsteps outside the cave, but he was afraid to come out again.
But the next morning, I heard someone crying outside his cave. He couldn't help but be curious and lie secretly at the entrance of the cave to watch. But he saw that the woman who was fumigated by his mist last night was in disheveled clothes, black all over, and died at the foot of the rockery.
Lingge said this, while wiping the tears that had not dried in the corner of his eyes, he looked up at Si Meng and Mu Zili, "Brother, sister, it's clear that Lingge's true body is a little red jade snake, and he has no ability to poison it. That woman was really not killed by Lingge! As for why she died outside Lingge's cave, Lingge didn't know."
Gong Bolonghai couldn't help but feel anxious when he heard what he said so bizarrely, "Lingge, is Aunt Xu really not killed by you?"
Lingge nodded heavily, "Young Master is aware! Although Lingge is greedy and greedy, he has never hurt anyone since he was given the guidance of the Immortal to practice the Rock Rock!" He was very grateful to the great immortal's grace. He should have been vegetarian, but he was really greedy and often couldn't resist the temptation of the food.
"If so, who is going to kill Aunt Xu?" Gong Bolonghai was still a little skeptical about what he said, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
Aunt Xu is his father's favorite concubine. Now that his father has left the house less than three months ago, Aunt Xu is killed and died in a bad life. He feels deeply guilty.
The demon has been captured, but it is not the real murderer. Thinking that the murderer is still at large, Gong Bolonghai's eyebrows are frowning into a ball.
"Long Hai, this little Lingge is not lying. Think about it carefully. Does Aunt Xu have a long-time enemy in the mansion on weekdays?" Mu Zili covered the spiritual singer's vein and said lightly.
In his opinion, Aunt Xu's death is probably nothing to do with the demon.
It seems that he dreamed that Mu Ling spoke, and he also said, "How is your aunt treating people on weekdays? Have you ever abused or beaten or scolded the servants?"
Gong Bolonghai shook his head woodenly and said, "As Longhai saw, Aunt Xu was friendly, and the maids and servants who served her respected her very much. But... it was just that when she was in Xuanyang, she was not harmonious with her father's other concubines. But... it was just a matter of competing for favor, and it would never involve human life."
"That's not necessarily true! Since ancient times, there have been people who have fought for favor and killed their brothers and fathers. Not to mention just being a concubine!" So dreamed of his dreams, those ancient people could do anything for power, fame and fortune.
"If Miss Meng said that, could someone kill Aunt Xu for favor?"
"This is just one possibility! But if you think about it carefully, although your mansion is rich, you are just a merchant, not a royal family, nor do you involve power. In addition, the Xu family has no children, and even if they are concubines, there is no need to kill someone to take their lives. I am afraid that the real murderer will have another intention!" Si Meng analyzed the interests of this, and Yifeng and Caixi were confused and completely confused because they were not in touch with the world.
However, Luo Cheng was drinking tea and sighed in a low voice.
Just as Gong Bolonghai was frowning, Mu Zili said slowly: "Regularly speaking, the mortar where Lingge lives is wrapped in moss for nearly three hundred years. It is impossible for ordinary mortals to see the original appearance of the mortar. If anyone could recognize the true body of the mortar, they would probably know that there was a red jade snake hidden in it. If so, the man insisted on moving the mortar to the mansion and placing it in this rockery. I think he had done it with some intention!"
Si Meng listened to his analysis quite reasonable and nodded in praise, "That's right! Why didn't I expect this! The rocky stone is not an ordinary stone, and the stones used in the rockery in your mansion are all rare strange stones in the world. Among them, this rocky stone is the most common. In this case, I'm afraid that the person takes the stone as false, and the life is true..."
"If so, then the person who took the stone was the murderer?" Gong Bolonghai asked.
Simeng saw that his face was wrong, but I was afraid he knew it.
