Chapter 199 Digging Up Human Bones
Chapter 199 Digging Up Human Bones
Qu Jingyao took out a lot of pebbles from the space. These stones had been soaked in spiritual water for a long time and were no longer the same as ordinary stones.
She first called the maid outside to invite her aunt over.
"Master, won't you tell your grandfather?"
"I'll go around the mansion first. I think my grandfather is still taking care of my grandmother."
Soon there was a noise in the yard. My aunt's yard was right next to hers.
There was a knock on the door soon, and she stepped forward with a curled lip.
"Aunt, you're here. I want to go around the house. Can you accompany me?"
Qi Yuyao smiled, took her arm, pulled her along and walked out of the yard.
"I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be this! Come on, let me show you around."
The two of them walked towards the courtyard of the mansion, talking and laughing.
When the servants in the house saw the two people approaching from afar, they hurried forward and bowed to greet them.
"This servant greets the Fifth Miss and the young lady."
"Well, get up."
Qi Yuyao took her for a walk and pointed at the flowers and plants in the garden and began to introduce them.
She looked around carefully, and kept asking Manman in her sea of consciousness if he could see what the problem was.
"Master, let your aunt take you to the southeast corner. You'd better find a way to put the little fire out. That old fox who has lived for so long will be able to smell something."
After hearing Manman's words, Qu Jingyao asked her aunt to take her to the direction of the rockery, where there were rugged rocks and no one noticed, so it was just right to start a small fire.
"Yao'er, look, those rockery rocks were made by your uncle some time ago. Your aunt loves them very much. The flowers under the rocks are also your aunt's favorite lily of the valley."
She was attracted by the lilies of the valley, which were indeed very beautiful.
In a place where Qi Yuyao didn't notice, Xiaohuo leisurely strolled in front of the two of them.
"Hey, Xiaohuo is here, come and let your aunt hold you."
Qi Yuyao had a wicked smile on her lips and leaned over to attack Xiaohuo, but it jumped far away and jumped directly onto the rockery.
Just as Qi Yuyao was stamping her feet in anger and thinking of ways to coax Xiaohuo, she heard Xiaohuo, who was standing on the rockery, suddenly become manic.
When Qu Jingyao heard Xiaohuo's voice, his face immediately darkened and he pulled Qi Yuyao who was about to move forward.
"Aunt, don't go over there. Ask the servants to invite grandpa and the others over. There's a problem here."
"Ah?" Qi Yuyao asked in a daze, but seeing her extremely serious expression, she immediately ordered the maid behind her to ask someone to come over.
When the two saw the maid leave, they brought Xiaohuo to the pavilion and waited!
Xiaohuo jumped into Qu Jingyao's arms and told her that there were human bones buried under the rockery.
Qu Jingyao was curious about how it was discovered?
The space was full of explanations for Xiaohuo. After all, that guy had lived in the Holy Mountain for so long. If he couldn't see these little things, how did he survive?
And don't be fooled by its useless appearance. In fact, it is naturally sensitive to and disgusted by evil energy.
Only then did she realize that this guy was really her treasure?
Qi Yuyao was surprised that Xiaohuo was jumping around violently just now, but now he was lying obediently in Yaoer's arms. She reached out and curiously touched Xiaohuo's shiny red fur.
Xiaohuo looked at her eyes that were glowing green, and shrank back into his master's arms in fear. What a woman! Why did she always look like she wanted to eat him? What a vixen!
A moment later, the two grandfathers and the second and third uncles all rushed over.
Several people thought something had happened to Yao'er and were very worried.
The two uncles were just in the martial arts arena and had not had time to change their clothes. When they heard that Yao'er was in trouble, they hurried over and happened to meet the uncle on the way.
"Yao'er, Yao'er! What happened?"
Qi Huaixuan stepped into the pavilion in two steps: "Yao'er, are you okay?" He looked her up and down nervously.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. I have something to tell you when you come over."
Qu Jingyao stood up, put Xiaohuo on the ground, and said with an extremely serious expression.
At this time, the two uncles and the second grandfather also came in.
"Grandfather, someone has tampered with the palace, affecting its fortune. Everyone living in the palace has also been affected to varying degrees. If this isn't resolved in time, it's possible that our family will be destroyed and everyone will die."
"what?"
"This is real?"
"Yao'er, how did you figure that out?"
Several relatives around asked anxiously, and seeing Yao'er's serious face, they knew that the matter was very serious and believed her without a doubt.
Qu Jingyao asked Xiaohuo to bring his grandfather to the specific location, and ordered the servants to find a way to dig underneath the rockery.
"Quick, get someone to dig that place up."
Qi Huaixuan's face was terribly gloomy at this time. This rockery was made of Shoushan stone from the man's house that Rou'er had mentioned she liked during her birthday party. That man had hired craftsmen to transport it from a thousand miles away to the palace.
I didn't expect that he already had bad intentions at that time.
Qu Jingyao looked at her dazed aunt, nervously held her arm and looked at the rockery without saying a word.
It was not until half an hour later that the screams of the servants were heard.
Xiaohuo jumped away in disgust and returned to his master.
The two uncles jumped onto the rockery together and saw a human bone appear in the large pit below. It was obviously the leg bone of an adult.
"This! Second brother, this is..."
When the two brothers saw this scene, their faces instantly turned gloomy. They didn't expect that what Yao'er said was right. There really was something dirty underneath.
The two men returned to their father and uncle and told them what they had seen.
Qi Huaixuan was so angry that he shattered the surrounding low rocks with a palm.
"Grandfather, calm down. It's not appropriate to make it public at this time. I'll let Xiaohuo go around the mansion. I think there may be more in other places."
Qu Jingyao hurried forward to calm down her angry grandfather.
At this time, the second grandfather's face was terribly dark, but he still calmed down and persuaded his brother.
Everyone in the family guessed who did it, but now was not the time to confront that person head-on, so they all started to persuade their uncle.
Qi Yuyao was completely terrified. She used to enjoy admiring the flowers under this rockery, but she never expected...
The thought of this sent a chill down her spine and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Yao'er, aren't you afraid? I... I..."
Qu Jingyao felt her aunt's hand trembling on her arm, and she patted it soothingly.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie, take this. This jade pendant can dispel evil spirits. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Qi Yuyao reached out and took the green jade Ruyi pendant that she handed over and held it tightly in her palm, muttering to herself.
It seems she was really scared...
