Chapter 416 The grave
"Daotingsi''s coroner went into the mine to examine the corpse, and finally concluded that these miners were killed by monsters, and then eaten by monsters..."
"The Lu family came to the scene and said they would pay for the spirit stone."
"If the mine repairman''s family can get the spirit stone, he will no longer cause trouble."
"Daotingsili, this matter is just like this for the time being..."
Situ Fang said helplessly.
Mo Hua''s eyes were slightly deeper, "It''s not that simple..."
Not to mention anything else, at least those mining cultivators were definitely not eaten by monsters.
Ink paintings are in Daheishan, and they often deal with monsters, so they are very sure.
Situ Fang saw that there was no one around, so she lowered her voice:
"Yes, that coroner told a lie."
Mo Hua was a little confused, "How do you know that he told a lie?"
Situ Fang said, "I gave him the spirit stone, and he told me himself."
Mo Hua nodded.
Spirit stones can indeed make people honest.
He gave the Tooth Stones from the Cave Man, and he told the truth.
Situ Fang continued:
"The coroner told me that these miners were killed first, and then eaten by unknown things..."
"I died for a long time, and the foul air in the cave is heavy, so the filthy and turbid breaths are mixed, making it difficult to tell what is the one who eats people..."
Mo Hua felt a little nervous, and then she felt a little emotional.
The mine repairman was so dead that he could even judge the cause of death in this way. He really had the ability to do so.
Even if the various karma of practicing Taoism seems inconspicuous and regarded as "lowly" by others, they all have special tricks and cannot be underestimated.
"Then why don''t you tell the truth?" Mo Hua asked again, "Does anyone not let him say it?"
"Yes." Situ Fang nodded, "Zhao Diansi of Daotingsi, secretly mentioned him."
"Zhao Diansi?"
Situ Fang whispered: "I am older than me. I have been in the Daotingsi in Nanyue City for 60 or 70 years, and I have been trusted by the Chief Secretary."
Pinsi...
Ink painting understands a little.
That was the commander of the Nanyue City Chief Secretary to suppress this matter and found a "proper" reason to turn big things into small things.
A monk kills people, it is murder.
The monster kills people, it’s an accident.
Since it is an accident, it is inevitable.
Daotingsi doesn’t have to worry about checking. The Lu family is not very responsible, just pay for some spirit stones.
Mining Xiu''s family will not continue to cause trouble if they can get compensation for the spirit stone.
The situation calmed down...
On the surface, it is indeed "appropriate".
Mo Hua looked at Situ Fang''s expression and saw that she was worried, she asked in a low voice:
"Sister Situ, do you still have to continue investigating?"
Situ Fang hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"You are right, this matter is not that simple. Who killed the mine repairman and what ate their bodies must be found out."
Situ Fang sighed, "If you don''t understand, I guess there will be a mine cultivator who died like this..."
Mo Hua said, "You are in charge of the department, you won''t agree to check it out."
Situ Fang said nothing:
"I''m a rotating person, and I have a family support behind it. Just be polite to him on the surface, and don''t be too scruples about him."
Mo Hua nodded and praised, "Sister Situ is so kind!"
Then he patted his chest and said, "I''ll check it for you!"
Situ Fang looked at the Mo Hua suspiciously again, "What are you looking for?"
"Check the cause of death of the mine repairman."
Situ Fang was puzzled, "I am the one who is responsible for me, so I will investigate. What are you doing to wade into this muddy water?"
Mo Hua thought about it and said:
"I want to find Teacher Yan. Since he was also missing in the mine, it might be related to the cause of the death of the mine repairman."
"In addition, I also want to find out the truth and not let these miners die inexplicably."
Of course, there is another key point, which is the ultimate formation.
Mo Hua sensed the aura of the evil formation from the tragic death of the mine cultivator.
Mo Hua really wants to know what this ultimate formation is and why it has the aura of evil spirits.
And who is the person who is using this formation to harm people...
But it was a matter of the ultimate formation, and Mo Hua didn''t say it out.
Situ Fang thought carefully and nodded, "Okay."
Then she reminded:
"But you must be careful. This matter is probably very involved. If you see that the opportunity is not good, you can run away quickly."
"No matter how powerful they are, they are only in Nanyue City."
"You leave Nanyue City and return to Tongxian City, which is your own territory, so you don''t have to worry about anything."
The eyes of the Mo Hua flashed slightly, and it seemed that Situ Fang had also noticed something.
Mo Hua nodded and said, "Okay!"
…
Although we need to check, the clues are also limited.
Mo Hua wanted to go and see the corpse of the mine repairman first.
He wanted to use his spiritual sense to sense what the foul breath on the corpse was, and what was the difference between it and the ordinary aura of heaven and earth.
I also want to calculate it again to see if I can get more clues to the ultimate formation.
After the mine cave was cleared, the body of the mine repairman was sealed in Daotingsi.
Mo Hua followed Situ Fang to Daotingsi, but was told that the body had been cremated to the family.
The eyes of the ink painting slightly condensed.
Situ Fang also frowned, "Who allowed it?"
"Who else can it be?" The coroner curled his lips and saw that there was no one around, and pointed his hand at it.
Above, that is the chief officer of Nanyue City. Mo Hua secretly thought in her mind.
In such a hurry, the body was disposal...
This palmist seems to be a big problem.
This also shows that these corpses do hide some ulterior motives.
Situ Fang''s eyes flashed, and it seemed that the same thought was the same.
They didn''t think about going to confront the chief, because such a thing was meaningless.
"Go and ask the families of the mine repairmen, let''s take a look." Mo Hua suggested.
Situ Fang nodded.
These mines are built and live in private houses near the mine.
These houses are very small, dirty and messy, and smoky.
All the mine repairmen living inside were unkempt and dirty.
It was noon at this time, and many people were eating porridge and black and hard pickled vegetables.
The noodles were mixed in the porridge, but there were not a few grains of rice.
The children running around in the narrow alleyways were also dirty.
Situ Fang showed unbearable expression.
Even if I see ink paintings that are used to being poor indulge in a casual cultivator, I sigh slightly.
Even among the casual cultivators, the mining cultivators here are almost the poorest.
Mo Hua always felt that the casual cultivators in Tongxian City were already hard enough.
But unexpectedly, the further you go and the more you see, the more you can see the lower limit of poverty.
It seems that Elder Yu is right, "The casual cultivators in Tongxian City are very hard, but outside Tongxian City, there are even more casual cultivators who are even harder than Tongxian City..."
The ink painting has an obscure look, and he is thinking about something in his heart.
Situ Fang brought in ink paintings to a broken house.
The door of the house is closed.
Situ Fang asked the neighbors, and then he realized that Daotingsi had cremated the body and sent it back, and the family went to bury the dead mine.
The place where the burial was buried was a large piece of wasteland in the south.
That was a mass grave.
When Mo Hua and Situ Fang arrived at the mass grave, they saw many tombs standing in a mess on the desolate ground.
Some have monuments, with the name of the deceased written on it.
Some of them are just wooden signs, and the wind and sun are blowing, and the wood has rotted.
Most of them have no monuments and don’t know who was buried in the tomb and who buried it.
In the mass grave, a new grave is being buried.
Mo Hua and Situ Fang approached and saw three or four households gathered together, wearing white clothes, burning paper money, and sobbing in a low voice.
There is only one coffin in front of you.
Situ Fang asked, and then he learned that the five people were divided into pieces and died miserably, and could not distinguish their limbs.
The Daotingsi side was mixed together and cremated together.
The family members of the mine repairman could only bury five people together in a coffin.
Situ Fang said angrily: "How can this be done?"
A haggard, middle-aged woman with a thin child said helplessly:
"Even if we separate, we can''t afford to buy a coffin. This coffin was collected by our four families."
“Aren’t it five?”
"There is another family. His wife has remarried with her son, and no one has buried him."
Situ Fang couldn''t speak.
The woman sighed and said:
"We don''t blame her, orphans and widows. If she doesn''t remarry, she will not be able to survive."
Situ Fang frowned and said, "Didn''t the Lu family compensate for the spirit stone?"
"I lost 100 yuan, but in our hands, there were only twenty. These twenty spirit stones can''t last long."
Situ Fang''s face turned cold, "Who has deducted it?"
The woman was stammering, but couldn''t speak, and could only sigh with a sad face.
Situ Fang asked again, and the woman only shook her head and stopped talking.
Everyone was a little silent.
The desolate cemetery became silent again, with only weak sobs one after another.
After the grave was laid, everyone burned incense.
The smoke curled and the grave was lonely.
The family of the mine repairman looked sad.
Mining repairman has been hard to make a living, and I don’t know when he can survive.
I don’t know when I will encounter an accident in the mine and add another grave to this mass grave.
In the end, these tombs will stand without names or surnames among these desolate hills.
No one asked about it, no one paid homage to the public.
Just a pile of unknown mounds of soil and rocks.
Mo Hua looked around and felt inexplicably desolate and emotion.
After a moment, Mo Hua was stunned.
He looked at the monks in these households again and slowly frowned.
He remembered that when the family of these miners made trouble, they asked Daotingsi for an explanation. When they were arguing with Situ Fang, several big men were following him.
But now, these families are either women and children or old.
There are several young monks, but they are also thin.
Where did those big men go?
The eyes of ink painting are slightly cold.
?The work and rest are a bit messy, it’s even late, sorry.
