Chapter 206 Lotus Tower (32)
In order to further find out the truth, the three decided to go to the place where the leader ascended to heaven to find out.
Arriving at the square and carefully observing the surroundings, Li Xiangyi discovered some subtle marks on the altar in the center of the square.
"Look here," Li Xiangyi said, pointing at the altar. "There are signs of it being moved, and there's even some gold dust left."
Fang Duobing looked carefully and found some tiny scratches on the edge of the altar, as well as some golden powder.
"Could it be that Wang Qingshan's golden body has been moved before?" Fang Duobing asked doubtfully.
Li Xiangyi nodded and said, "It's very likely. Let's look carefully to see if there is any mechanism."
The two searched carefully around the altar and finally found a hidden mechanism under the altar.
Li Xiangyi gently pressed the mechanism, and the altar slowly rose, revealing a pitch-black hole.
"There is a secret passage here!" Fang Duobing exclaimed.
The two lit torches and entered the secret passage, which was narrow and deep. After walking for a long time, they arrived at a stone chamber.
In the center of the stone chamber, there is a stone platform, which is empty.
"This should be the place where Wang Qingshan's golden body is stored." Li Xiangyi said.
Fang Duobing carefully observed the stone platform and found a secret compartment underneath it.
When the secret compartment was opened, a corpse was found inside. It was Wang Qingshan's corpse!
"This..." Fang Duobing was stunned. "Why is Wang Qingshan's body here? Who is inside the golden body?"
Li Xiangyi carefully examined the corpse and said, "This body is the real Wang Qingshan. It seems that someone swapped his body with his golden body after Wang Qingshan ascended to immortality."
Fang Duobing suddenly realized, "I understand! When Wang Qingshan ascended to heaven, his body was covered in gold powder, making it impossible to see his true face. Someone took advantage of the opportunity to swap his body with the golden statue, and then hid the real Wang Qingshan here!"
Li Xiangyi nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, this person must be very familiar with Lingshan Sect to be able to do all this."
Fang Duobing said, "Now it seems that Wang Qingshan's three disciples and the housekeeper are more suspicious. Not only did they collude with the Golden Yuan League, they also participated in the conspiracy to swap corpses and golden bodies!"
"Look at this Three Character Classic..." Li Xiangyi picked up the yellowed pages, frowning as he gently stroked the childish handwriting on the pages with his fingertips. "This handwriting is definitely not from the hands of a sixteen-year-old boy."
Fang Duobing came forward, examined it carefully, and said doubtfully, "Indeed, the strokes are abrupt and the power is immature. It seems... it was written by a six-year-old child."
Qiao Wanwan was silently flipping through the account book and suddenly whispered, "Look here, 'Osmanthus cake, ten cents,' 'Tanghulu, five cents,' and 'Rattle, fifteen cents.' These are things that children like."
"And at the end of the account, there's a note saying 'Happy Birthday, Aniu'. This Aniu might be the child that Sect Leader Wang is looking for."
Li Xiangyi's eyes gradually sharpened. He said in a deep voice, "Three Character Classic, the handwriting of a six-year-old child, and the children's supplies recorded in the account book... It seems that what Wang Qingshan is looking for is not the sixteen-year-old spiritual child, but his six-year-old illegitimate son!"
Fang Duobing suddenly understood, slapped his thigh and said, "I understand! Sect Leader Wang is trying to use the pretext of faking his own death to pass on the Lingshan Sect's assets to his own children!"
"So, the one who killed him must be someone closest to him. Only in this way could they have concealed the truth and completed this series of plans!"
Qiao Wanwan nodded.
As the night deepened, inside the ancestral hall, Li Xiangyi stood in front of Wang Qingshan's body with a solemn expression.
He said loudly, "Today, I will perform the art of resurrection to awaken Sect Leader Wang's spirit and uncover the truth. This art is extremely dangerous, and outsiders are prohibited from observing, lest they offend the undead."
Wang Qingshan's three disciples - the eldest disciple had a sad face, the second disciple had flickering eyes, the third disciple lowered his head and remained silent, and the housekeeper Pu Erhuang looked nervous. They all expressed their desire to stay and witness this "miracle".
Li Xiangyi waved his hand and said firmly, "But the art of resurrection is very complex. Too many people would be inconvenient. You should go back and rest first. You will know the result tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Li Xiangyi "invited" several people out of the room and closed the door himself.
However, these people did not go far.
The eldest disciple, relying on his tall stature, quietly walked around to the back window of the room, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside nervously through the gap in the window.
The second apprentice sneaked up to the room with a sly look in his eyes, lifted the tiles and observed what was going on inside.
Although the third disciple obediently returned to his room on the surface, he secretly slipped out from the back door, tiptoed to the window on the other side of the room, held his breath, and widened his eyes.
Park Erhuang was even more anxious. He stretched his neck and tried to peek through the crack in the door.
All of this was seen by Qiao Wanwan, who was hiding in the dark. Seeing their furtive behavior, she sneered inwardly, "As expected, everyone has ulterior motives. It seems that this drama is getting more and more exciting."
Inside the room, the mechanism set up by Fang Duobing has been activated.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the candlelight swayed violently, flickering. Wang Qingshan's corpse actually sat up slowly, and a low voice uttered from his mouth: "Spirit... child... He..."
Li Xiangyi stood aside, his face calm. He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to "Wang Qingshan," and said, "Master Wang, please write down the soul boy's surname in full."
"Wang Qingshan" mechanically took the paper and pen and wrote slowly on the paper.
At the same time, outside the room, the peeping people held their breath and stared intently.
Li Xiangyi put the paper away and said to "Wang Qingshan": "Thank you, Master Wang, you can rest in peace now."
As soon as he finished speaking, "Wang Qingshan" slowly closed his eyes, the mechanism stopped, and the room returned to peace.
