The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Seeing that there was nothing else strange here, Zhou Shiyue ordered to continue heading towards Huihe River.

But after he took a few steps, he didn't see Lu Zhaoling following him. When he turned around, he suddenly looked embarrassed.

Lu Zhaoling was seen looking at the grave, looking a little reluctant to leave.

"What's so good about this tomb?" he asked.

Lu Zhaoling said, "I've always felt that there must be a lot of burial objects in the tomb, and they must be valuable. Did you notice that there's a hint of wealth on the right side of the tomb?"

She pointed to the side of the grave.

Zhou Shiyue: “…”

Qingbao and Qingyin's eyes suddenly lit up, and the two maids seemed eager to try.

"Miss, it's been a long time since you picked up money."

"Treasure hunting?"

Lu Zhaoling was really tempted at first, but when she saw the money-hungry looks of the two maids, she came to her senses.

"Cough cough."

She touched her nose and said, "Before, we were looking for ownerless ones, but now these are in other people's graves, so they can't be considered ownerless, right?"

Zhou Shiyue: "Remove the word 'seemingly'."

Lu Zhaoling looked regretful, spread her hands and said to the two maids, "So, you can't dig."

Qingyin: "Okay then."

Qingbao: "What a pity."

Zhou Shiyue was somewhat helpless, "What have you done to the people around you?"

He remembered that when Nanny Qing was training the maids, there should have been a special training program to prevent them from being easily tempted by money. After all, if they were easily tempted by money while staying by his side, they would most likely betray him.

But now looking at how these two maids are obsessed with money, they probably have forgotten everything that Nanny Qing taught them.

Lu Zhaoling snorted at him.

"Love of money is a virtue, you don't understand."

"Let's go. What good can there be in things buried next to the dead? If you like, after we die, have someone pile more gold, silver and jewelry in our tombs."

Zhou Shiyue put his arm around her neck and took her away.

The look on his face when he said this was as if he was saying, "I won't allow you to be buried with fewer objects than others after you die."

Lu Zhaoling burst out laughing.

"Zhou Shiyue, your words are so sinister."

Which good person would arrange for his own burial objects when he is only twenty years old?

The young people also felt a little numb after hearing this.

"Who was that for? I didn't expect you to think about the burial objects when you saw the owner of the grave was still there."

Zhou Shiyue would never let her dig up Mr. Yu's things.

Judging from the way he was circling around with the wine glass for a long time just now, even if there were burial objects in the tomb, they must have been examined by Master Yu many times.

Why would he let Lu Zhaoling get those things?

They kept walking.

Lu Zhaoling asked Zhou Shiyue, "What do you think about what they said?"

"I'll have the Crown Prince send someone to investigate this matter later," Zhou Shiyue said. "He has several people under him who are very skilled in these matters. If there really is a crack in the mountain, then the Crown Prince should make preparations early."

"When the time comes, it's up to him to choose another place for the village to relocate, or to dig a canal on the other side to divert the river water."

Qing Xiao said, "Your Highness, if this is accomplished, it will be another achievement for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhou Shiyue glanced at him. Qing Xiao immediately fell silent.

He knew that the prince had given the crown prince many clues and things that were about to produce political achievements over the years.

If the emperor had not unreasonably suppressed the prince, the prince's political achievements would have already shone brightly.

But he just felt a little sad for the prince.

These were clearly things the prince could do, and it was the prince who discovered them and handed them over to the crown prince.

Moreover, there were many things that ultimately required the prince's help to complete. However, the prince did not leave any trace in these things.

Lu Zhaoling listened to their words and looked at Qing Xiao.

After a while, she said to Qing Xiao, "In fact, although your prince may not have made any contributions in the human world, in other places, the way of heaven will naturally add to his achievements."

That is why Zhou Shiyue has such great merit.

He has done so many things and saved so many people.

Moreover, the heavens seemed to be particularly kind to him, and it was estimated that any good deed he did would be doubled or even multiplied dozens of times to count as merit for him.

"That's good." After hearing what Lu Zhaoling said, Qing Xiao felt relieved and a little happy.

I just feel sorry for the prince.

He couldn't bring himself to say such sentimental and somewhat disgusting words.

"hiss!"

Suddenly, Qingyu in front took a deep breath and stopped.

Qingyin, who was following behind him, almost bumped into his back.

She quickly stopped and looked forward, she also: "Hiss!"

What did you see?

Everyone looked up and saw a ghost hanging upside down on a tree in front of them.

His hair was hanging down and was loose, and his arms were also hanging down. His face was facing them. It was a blue-gray face, with two black eye sockets without eyeballs, his lower lip was pressed against his upper lip, and there was a hole in his chin.

His legs were tightly wrapped in vines and hung there, swinging slightly from time to time.

The skin and flesh on this person's body still looked normal, and it didn't look like he had been dead for a long time.

But he was hung upside down here, his eyes were gouged out, and there was no blood on the ground below.

"He must have died somewhere else and was hung here," said Aoki.

He also looked around and "didn't see his soul around."

Lu Zhaoling walked in front of them and took a closer look.

"There's no soul left. There's no sign of a ghost officer ever capturing his soul. It's very likely that his soul was devoured by someone."

"Hiss, was he swallowed by someone? Princess, could it be an evil cultivator?" Qingyu asked.

I was just shocked when I saw such a corpse, but now I have calmed down.

He felt that after being with the princess for a long time, his courage and insight had been greatly developed.

"He may not be an evil cultivator, he could also be a ghost cultivator." Lu Zhaoling seemed to be thinking about something.

Regardless, this kind of thing happening here makes me feel a little heavy-hearted. It's not a good thing.

"Let's go." Zhou Shiyue also looked at the corpse. "He's probably not from the capital. He has a bone nail in his ear."

After hearing what he said, everyone looked closely and found that there was indeed a bone nail on the left earlobe of the corpse.

"It seems they might be from a small tribe, or maybe not from the Great Zhou." Qing Xiao also said, "Your Highness, I will go back and investigate."

"Ah."

They walked around the body and went further in. They didn't see anything else.

Finally arrived at the Hui River.

The terrain here is slightly higher, and the river is at the foot of a slope, making a small bend right in front of you.

Standing here and looking down, it looks like a silver snake.

There are a few people on the river bank ahead.

"Those people are from the barbarians." Qing Xiao recognized them.

He discovered that the place Lu Zhaoling led him to was actually upstream of where he had intended to go.
