Chapter 459 The Goddess Summons the Soul
The Lu family wants to summon the soul of Miss Lu, and the entire family in Beijing knows about it.
But no one will object or stop it. After all, both of his daughters died unexpectedly, so it is normal to have some thoughts about this.
Especially Miss Lu Er, the murderer has not been found yet. Although there were rumors that the eldest lady of the Wen family was responsible, the evidence was insufficient and had to be discarded.
But looking back at the death of Miss Lu, it was in full view of everyone and the evidence was conclusive. However, the trial of the case encountered obstacles because Han Lu, the son of the Han family, insisted that he was controlled by a monster and refused to plead guilty.
The Han family has been a member of the Han family for generations and has produced several prime ministers. The first chief minister after the restructuring was also from the Han family. Naturally, they did not want the Han family's young master to be known as a "womanizer and murderer".
At present, Mr. Han, who once served as the chief minister, although he is over 150 years old, personally went to the palace to kneel and petition, begging His Majesty to help Han Lu Zhaoxue.
The old man is already old and his hands and feet are trembling. Who dares to really let him kneel all the time?
His Majesty was helpless and could only issue a decree to order the General Administration of Textiles to quickly investigate the matter and clear Han Lu's innocence.
After the emperor gave the order, His Majesty’s attitude became clear.
Even if the Lu family is dissatisfied, they don't dare to say anything. They can only blame the Lu family for their declining status.
......
There were more and more people in the yard. Wen Weilan watched coldly. There were hundreds of people.
But in contrast, more and more guards were guarding the courtyard gates, prohibiting people in the courtyard from going out, and the rhetoric was similar to what Wen Weilan heard just now.
In other words, the major aristocratic families sent people to express their condolences, but they were banned in the courtyard by the Lu family in disguise.
But surprisingly, no one said any words of resentment.
First, the Lu family wanted to investigate, and no one wanted to be suspected.
Secondly, the old lady of the Lu family even took out the tomb-guarding spiritual sword given by Emperor Mingyuan, and stood proudly before setting up the memorial shed in person.
I heard the old lady shouting hoarsely: "Close the door!"
Although she was trembling slightly, she held up the spiritual sword that symbolized imperial power. The sword was mottled with rust. Still majestic.
Seeing this situation, everyone fell silent and did not move their feet.
Respect arose in my heart, partly to respect this old lady, but more of course, to respect the original owner of this spiritual sword.
As soon as the door was closed, the candlelight flickered, and the light in the courtyard suddenly dimmed, as if an invisible and intangible haze enveloped the entire courtyard.
Old Mrs. Lu slowly put down the spirit sword. Her body was slightly unstable and she almost fell to the ground. The daughter-in-law next to her hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but she was grabbed by a pair of fair and slender hands.
The young man's low and steady voice said softly: "Mrs. Lu, please don't be too sad."
Everyone looked up in surprise, and saw that the man was Miss Lu's rumored fiancé Wen Xuanning, and they immediately understood.
Old Mrs. Lu thanked Wen Xuanning, and her daughter-in-law Ye Liuxian stepped forward and took the old lady's hand.
The two women supported each other, their faces full of sadness.
“Everyone, thank you for coming to express your condolences today.”
“Now the Lu family is dying, dying, and growing old. I didn’t expect so many people to come today. I am extremely grateful and have nothing to repay, except to bow down..."
As he said that, the two of them wanted to kneel down and bow down.
But who dares to ask this hundred-year-old lady to really bow down?
If something happens to the body and bones, there will be one more coffin in the funeral shed today, which would be bad.
“No way, no way!”
“Mrs. Lu’s words are serious!”
There were also people who came forward to help.
Of course, the fastest one was Wen Xuanning, who had been standing by her side. With a caring look on her face, she gently supported the old lady.
Looking at Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu Ye Liuxian, their expressions were haggard, and their bodies were full of yin energy, and everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
Speaking of which, the Lu family is also an evil sect. There are no male members. The male relatives died earlier, leaving a group of women. However, these women are all weak and unlucky, and they are withering away one after another.
Even Miss Lu and Miss Lu, who had grown up under careful care, died unexpectedly one after another.
I don’t know if the Lu family’s mausoleum is contaminated by some cause and effect...
“In order not to affect the effect of summoning spirits, I have to seal the courtyard door. Please forgive me.” Mrs. Lu said with a humble attitude. There was unquestionable majesty in his tone.
"Next, the soul summoning... begins." As soon as he finished speaking, a "bang" was heard, and heavy objects rubbed against the ground, making a huge noise.
White flags fluttered, and waves of white waves rolled up in the wind.
I saw a woman in white wearing a conical hat dragging Miss Lu's coffin out of the funeral shed. Because she was so thin, it seemed like she was struggling.
However, the coffin was dragged very quickly into the yard.
The woman's appearance was finally revealed in front of everyone.
At first glance, it looks like a faceless creature, with its head and hat being as white as snow. After taking a closer look, I discovered that there were two thin gaps in the white, and the silver pupils rotated slightly in them; the nose was also an upright gap, and the mouth was only pressed into a thin line.
Even her hair is completely snow-white. If she hadn't been wearing a woman's skirt, I wouldn't have been able to tell that she was a woman.
Suddenly seeing such a strange man, everyone was secretly surprised and didn't know where he came from.
"This... is the goddess we specially invited. Please cooperate with us." The old lady immediately answered everyone's questions.
Goddess?
Are there any goddesses these days?
Wen Weilan smelled carefully and found that there was no strange smell from this woman. Instead, there was a very strong sacred aura, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
But she couldn't show it, she could only endure it.
Jiang Caibin also felt very uncomfortable.
He was standing in the corner of the yard at this time, in an inconspicuous position behind everyone, looking from a distance.
I don’t know what kind of existence this so-called goddess is, but the aura exuding from her body is already like this. If she really exerts her strength, I am afraid that her identity will be exposed.
Fortunately, "Mother" helped, turning around inside his body to absorb all the sacred aura, forming a special kind of protection.
Jiang Caibin didn't know that he had gradually developed a feeling of faith, admiration, and attachment to his "mother"... or to Liu Sheng, and this feeling caused him to develop a certain relationship with his "mother" who lurked deep in a certain dimension. A connection across dimensions.
And this connection allows him to gain the protection of this growing god.
Therefore, his current feeling is actually much better than that of Wen Weilan.
He still had time to glance at Jiang Caizhi's tense back in front of him, smiled, and then stood on tiptoes to look at the weird goddess.
The goddess stretched out her hand, her fingers as slender as claws, slowly grasped the coffin lid, and opened it little by little.
Everyone looked at this scene and immediately held their breath.
In the coffin, a thin figure lay.
According to everyone’s understanding, this should be Miss Lu.
But the reason why we understand it is precisely because the corpse in the coffin has shrunk so much that its original appearance cannot be recognized, and only a few glimpses can be seen from the face.
What’s even more tingling is that the corpse, which shrank into a thin and small ball, is no longer in the shape of a human being.
The hands and feet have become extremely slender, the body is bulging, and the legs under the skirt seem to be glued together and lengthened to form a snake-like tail.
Looking at it like this...
"Like a dragon!"
Someone exclaimed, and immediately realized that they had made a mistake and quickly shut up.
But these words echoed over the yard and in everyone's minds.
This mainland girl...
She is turning into a dragon after she died?
The goddess seemed to be oblivious to the strange appearance of the corpse. She silently took out a few copper coins from her arms and covered the mouth, nose, chest, hands and lower body of the corpse in turn like a long snake.
Then she took out a paper flag from her sleeve and waved it gently in the air, making a jingling sound.
Everyone understands that the soul summoning has begun!
As the bell rang, some indescribable aura enveloped the courtyard, as if something was about to wake up.
I saw Miss Lu in the coffin. The eyes that were originally closed on her shrunken face slowly opened!
