This sleep was not peaceful. In the dream, the world was filled with dark crimson. When she saw it, she saw a joyful hall with dazzling red words of Double Happiness hanging on the wall. She felt like a lonely ghost, and her feet were light and fluttering.

As she listened, there were noisy congratulatory sounds in her ears. Suddenly, a harsh suona made her turn around and look. As soon as her eyes moved over, the men and women worshiping in front of her turned into two skeletons in wedding clothes in an instant.

Mo Shuruo opened his eyes suddenly and sat up from the bed.

Someone suddenly said, "Wake up."

"Ah——" She screamed and immediately fell back on the bed.

Xiang Jingyi pulled up the quilt, with a depressed look on his face, "Shu Ruo, it's me." They were childhood sweethearts who wore crotchless pants together, so there was no need to be so frightened when they saw her in the morning.

"Senior...Senior Brother!" Mo Shuruo revealed his eyes from under the quilt, his voice was indistinct under the quilt. She pulled off the quilt and sat up, then said in fear: "Why is it you? You scared me."

Xiang Jingyi stood up and walked to the table to serve her hot porridge, saying at the same time: "I came to see you because I have something to do."

She put on her coat, got out of bed and went to the cupboard to pull her hair twice. There was nothing she could do about it, so she just put her head on her head and went to the washbasin shelf to wash up.

After spitting the mouthwash back and forth in her mouth, she wiped the water on her chin and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiang Jingyi was about to prepare breakfast, but after a long while he said: "Actually, it's nothing." He gestured to her to eat the food and reminded: "If you want to go to Xinling to check today, you should come over as soon as possible after you have breakfast."

Mo Shuruo raised his head and said yes with a handkerchief on his face, so he missed Xiang Jingyi's weird expression as he walked out.

After almost half a cup of tea, Mo Shuruo appeared in the lobby. Baiyue Marquis and others were talking about something. When they saw her coming, they asked with a smile on their faces: "How did you sleep last night, Shuruo? You don't miss home, do you?"

"

She nodded and sat down, jokingly saying, "The bed at uncle's house is more comfortable than the one at Mo's house. It's too late to stay, so why would you miss home?"

Baiyue Hou laughed, "So, Shuruo agreed to stay."

Her brows twitched, she blinked her big eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't Mr. Mo tell you?"

She was even more confused: "What did you say?"

"Stay in Baiyue and be my grandson's wife."

She almost spat out a mouthful of blood, then said with fearful eyes, "No, my grandfather agreed?"

"He asked me to ask you for your opinion." Seeing her troubled face, Baiyue Marquis hurriedly added: "You don't dislike me, Baiyue, do you?"

She smiled bitterly, "How could it be, but I'm not ready to get married yet, besides..."

"Besides what?"

Her voice became softer and softer, "Besides, cousin Jing already has a wife!" He didn't mention the marriage for no reason, and he still made someone treat him as his concubine. What a messy scene this was!

Baiyue Hou suddenly realized, and then explained with a smile: "It's not Jing'er."

She looked up suddenly, her face full of confusion.

Who else besides Baiyue Jing would not...

Thinking of the dream last night, her face instantly changed into a constipated look, "It can't be...it's Baiyue Xi..."

He hummed, "I asked Jingyi to tell you, but you didn't tell Shuruo?" He said the first sentence to her, but the second sentence turned to ask Xiang Jingyi, who had been silent.

"I haven't said it yet."

She looked at Xiang Jingyi with a helpless face, and instantly felt the urge to hit a wall. But she still held back her fright, and asked without giving up: "Uncle, you mean... ghost marriage..."

You really doted on Baiyue Xi. Even after his death, you would not forget to marry him a wife. No wonder you treat her so warmly. Your love is for selling your body!

Baiyue Hou thought for a moment and said: "It doesn't count. You will know when the time comes."

Until then!! It doesn’t count!!

She felt that she was about to collapse... And didn't Baiyue Xi marry Jinglou Xue before? Although the ending was a bit scary, after all, the matchmaker was still marrying her, right?

"By the way." Marquis Baiyue took the handkerchief handed over by the young lady and wiped his hands, "How are you going to deal with the matter of the living corpse?"

She was in such a state of confusion that she couldn't hear the question at all.

Xiang Jingyi glanced at her and said, "I plan to go to the mausoleum first. It's impossible for the body to move on its own. There must be some reason for this."

"Yes." He nodded and stood up. Seeing everyone standing up, Mo Shuruo came to his senses and stood up.

"Father, are you going out now?" the young lady asked after taking the handkerchief.

"In a few days it will be the Ghost Festival, and I will have to put in more effort. As for things in the house, please control the servants' mouths, and don't let any unpleasant words come out."

The young lady lowered her head and responded, "Yes."

Marquis Baiyue turned and looked at Mo Shuruo and Mo Shuruo again, "I have something else to do, so I won't say more. If you want to go, remember to bring a few more people with you."

Mo Shuruo nodded in agreement, and Baiyue Marquis turned around and left, followed by several stewards. Xiang Jingyi also followed out first because he had to prepare the carriage.

The young lady took a cloak from the maid's hand and put it on her pocket, and the two of them walked slowly towards the door of the mansion. "I don't really want you to go, after all, that place has not been peaceful recently."

Mo Shuruo patted the back of her hand, "Don't worry, senior brother and I have a sense of propriety. We are just going to have a look. Besides, it is broad daylight. If we bring a few more people, nothing will happen."

The young lady said: "No matter what, it's not always good."

She smiled and said: "If aunt doesn't believe me, you have to believe grandpa."

The young lady also laughed and said, "You kid." She exhaled. "It's okay, although I can't understand Mr. Mo's intention. Since you said so, I can't stop you."

"Don't worry." In order to distract her, Mo Shuruo mentioned something casually, "By the way, what was the Ghost Festival you just mentioned?"

When the young lady heard this, she immediately relaxed her brows and said, "It is a customary festival in Baiyue. You will be able to see it after the arrangements are completed in a few days."

She was a little excited. Then she thought, "With the recent martial law in Baiyue, so many people come out, aren't you afraid of something happening?"

"It is precisely because of people's panic that we have to make the Ghost Festival even grander than in previous years."

The Ghost Sending Festival, as the name suggests, is to send away ghosts and gods. It is made grander than in previous years to quell the fear in the hearts of the people. Mo Shuruo smiled and said, "If Mo Chuan knew about it, he would be very happy. He loves the excitement the most." Speaking of which,

, then added, "When Mo Chuan wakes up, Auntie must not tell him that we went to the mausoleum, otherwise he will definitely make trouble and follow us."

The young lady nodded understandingly, "When he wakes up, I will take him to the Huihui Building. Doesn't he love chicken legs the most? The roast chicken there is top-notch."

Mo Shuruo smiled so much that his eyes were bent, "Then I'll trouble Auntie."

"It's okay." When the two of them arrived at the door, they saw Xiang Jingyi pulling a carriage and two guards behind him. She worried: "Two guards are too few. Let's go with ten people."

Mo Shuruo refused: "We are not going to rob the Tao, we don't need so much."

Seeing that she was ready to get in the car, she had no choice but to remind her again, "Go and have a look and come back quickly. Don't stay too long."

"I know." Mo Shuruo climbed onto the carriage and waved to her, "We will be careful, you go back."

The curtain was lowered, and the carriage shook and started to move. Xiang Jingyi looked at her, "Where do you plan to start checking?"

Mo Shuruo fiddled with the bamboo tube on his waist and said casually: "Let's go and take a look first. You will find something more or less." After speaking, he raised his head with a flattering smile on his face, "This is my first time taking on a case, anyway.

There are many things I don’t understand, and my senior brother is more experienced than Shu Ruo, so I will have to rely on my senior brother for help in the future.”

Xiang Jingyi smiled helplessly and was too lazy to answer her, "Didn't you see any clues from the living corpses you saw before?"

She held her chin up and said, "That's a little bit."

"Huh?" He motioned for her to continue.

Mo Shuruo sat upright, thought for a while, and said, "I suspect that the resurrection of the dead body may be because someone has poisoned it."

"insanity?"

"That's right. Otherwise, what else can control the movements of the dead? Do you really believe in which ancestor is resurrected?" She looked at him and shrugged, "Anyway, besides witchcraft, I can't think of the second reason."

"If it's really a poison, how do you find the person who caused it?"

She held her face in her hands and frowned: "I can't think of this at the moment. I'm afraid I can only wait for him to show up." Thinking of the man in black that night, she shook her head and said: "Even if he shows up, I don't have the confidence to fight head-on."

It seems that we have to think of several ways to defeat him."

***

Since the Daning Dynasty, Baiyue has never been unified. Until now, Baiyue is still a force that the eight countries dare not underestimate. The Xinling Mausoleum where the incident occurred is the tomb of every king of Baiyue, including several

A famous princess in history. You don’t need to think about it to know how grand this royal tomb is.

Mo Shuruo lifted the car curtain and saw that the stone path was very open. When he raised his sight, he could see a huge stone gate in the distance. The stone gate was really thick, and the high wall of the corridor behind the stone gate blocked the view, which made people feel uncomfortable.

I am even more curious about what the inside of this royal tomb, which is closed like a box, looks like.

"We are almost at Xinling," the guard reminded.

Mo Shuruo lowered the car curtain and was so quiet that he didn't even move.

Along the way, there were hardly any traces of human beings. This was probably because living corpses had appeared, and no one in the nearby villages and towns lived there. The land was so desolate that they were the only ones left. Not to mention scared, they were still somewhat frightened.

After a while, the carriage stopped. The young guard asked: "Miss Mo, do you want to enter the hall?"

Mo Shuruo came back to his senses and opened the curtain, "Of course."

Xiang Jingyi bowed and went out and jumped out of the carriage, and Mo Shuruo followed suit.

The two tall stone gates that appeared in front of her were so huge that it made people feel like they were kneeling down. She glanced at them briefly, not daring to take a closer look.

"What is that?" Mo Shuruo asked curiously, pointing to the weird totem that was conspicuous on the stone door.

Xiang Jingyi said: "I remember it seems to be called Sanskrit Talisman. It is a charm used in Baiyue custom to suppress ghosts and gods from disturbing the world."
