Shen Cuiyu stared at the sorrowful soul body. In her mind, all the information she had learned in the past two days flashed by at great speed - Wen's mother's fear of her own son, her intentional or unintentional reminders and guilt towards Li Jinghuai, the shocking wounds on An Huai's bones and the broken and speechless soul body, and the seemingly affectionate but occasionally violent look in Wen Zimo's eyes...
Shen Cuiyu already understood why so many celestial masters had come to the Wen Mansion one after another before, but all had found nothing.
Firstly, Wen Zimo deliberately misled them. He deliberately pointed the finger at Song Yanling, causing all the celestial masters to start off in the wrong direction when exorcising evil spirits. Naturally, they couldn't cure Li Jinghuai's symptoms.
Secondly, no celestial master had ever suspected the fetus in Li Jinghuai's womb. The technique of borrowing a fetus to return to life was extremely hidden. If it weren't for Shen Cuiyu's special constitution after her rebirth, being extremely sensitive to the aura of living beings, she might not have noticed such an evil technique!
All the fragmented clues suddenly strung together into a clear, blood - stained thread at this moment!
A chill ran through Shen Cuiyu's heart, but her voice was as calm as water. Word by word, she clearly questioned the silent wronged soul:
"An Huai, you were beaten to death by Wen Zimo, weren't you?"
The moment her voice fell, the red ghost let out a silent but extremely shrill wail. The overwhelming resentment and grievance spread out like a tangible thing, confirming this cruelest truth!
Hearing this, all the disciples were both terrified and confused!
Shen Cuiyu looked at Liu Ruyan thoughtfully.
Only Li Jinghuai and the people in Shen Cuiyu's group knew about the ghost fetus. This incident involved a wide range of people, and there were too many people talking. Although the celestial masters knew the technique of borrowing a fetus to return to life, ordinary people didn't.
Linyu City had always been a peaceful place. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were few evil things. Moreover, this was such a shocking matter in the metaphysical world.
This matter hadn't been resolved yet. If it spread out, and the common people heard about the ghost fetus, they might treat Li Jinghuai as a monster, which would be no good for Li Jinghuai.
Moreover, none of the disciples knew An Huai's real identity. On that day in Wen's mother's courtyard, besides Li Jinghuai and Song Yanling, there were only her and Pei Yu.
Logically speaking, Liu Ruyan had absolutely no chance of revealing the truth first. If she could still tell the truth, there must be something beyond Shen Cuiyu's knowledge...
What could it be?
Shen Cuiyu's long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Silently, she took out a backtracking talisman from her sleeve.
She had bought this talisman at a high price from the Miaoyan Zhai in the academy. Attach this talisman to a place, and then paste the talisman paper on the backtracking mirror later, and it would be able to reflect the scene at that time and place.
This time, she would take a slow and careful look!
"I see now..." A look of sudden realization suddenly appeared on Shen Cuiyu's face. She pretended to be about to tell the cause of the incident, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Liu Ruyan. Her fingertips moved slightly, and silently threw the backtracking talisman in front of a tree not far from Liu Ruyan. In this way, she could keep an eye on all of Liu Ruyan's movements.
The moment Liu Ruyan heard Shen Cuiyu's words, a flash of nervousness and excitement quickly passed through the bottom of her eyes. Then, she seemed to suddenly stand still on the spot. Her eyes seemed to be blank, or as if she was staring at something. But this state of hers only lasted for a very short time. If one didn't observe deliberately, one simply wouldn't notice!
The next moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly came back to her senses without warning, and a strong look of pride flashed across her face!
Just one second before Shen Cuiyu was about to speak, Liu Ruyan suddenly stepped forward, attracting everyone's attention!
"An Huai, that is, the red - dressed female ghost. Her real identity is Wen Zimo's first wife! Their relationship was originally very good, but An Huai didn't expect that after they got married, Wen Zimo's possessiveness towards her almost reached a perverted level! First, he didn't allow her to talk to other men. If he was a little dissatisfied, he would beat and kick An Huai! A few months after their marriage, Wen Zimo actually imprisoned An Huai at home directly!"
"Long - term violence left An Huai covered in wounds. One day after getting drunk, Wen Zimo accidentally beat An Huai to death! Just then, Wen's mother came to the courtyard to check and witnessed An Huai's death. Since then, she lost a part of her soul. This is the reason why she is so afraid of Wen Zimo."
"After An Huai's death, Wen Zimo was both scared and regretful. He was worried that An Huai would go to the underworld to file a complaint after her death, so he pulled out her tongue when she was about to die. He was afraid that the matter of killing his wife would be exposed, so he took An Huai's body and moved his whole family away. After many turns, they came to Linyu City, and he moved An Huai's bones to the back mountain."
"After that, Wen Zimo spent a lot of money, seeking the method of bringing the dead back to life from countless high - ranking monks and celestial masters. Finally, he met a celestial master with evil intentions. This master taught Wen Zimo an evil technique - first, let Wen Zimo draw a soul - binding talisman on An Huai's coffin to prevent her soul from being reincarnated. Then, he taught him to use a soul - locking pouch to collect An Huai's soul, set up a trap with a locust tree, and trap An Huai's soul in it. Finally, he had to find a woman with the same birth date as An Huai, and let An Huai seize the body without anyone knowing."
"Wen Zimo searched for a long time and actually found a woman with the same birth date as An Huai, that is, Li Jinghuai, the person who asked for help. He secretly monitored Li Jinghuai for a long time and originally wanted to find an opportunity to meet her by chance. Until one day, Li Jinghuai and Song Yanling went on an outing. On that day, he actually witnessed with his own eyes that Li Jinghuai and Song Yanling's carriage had an accident! At that time, Song Yanling had just died, and Li Jinghuai was at her loneliest. Wen Zimo accompanied her every day and sweet - talked to her. He almost effortlessly walked into Li Jinghuai's heart."
"Wen Zimo got close to Li Jinghuai and married her just so that he could do something to her one day. But unexpectedly, An Huai would rather have her soul scattered than return to Wen Zimo's side. The technique of seizing a body required the soul body to take the initiative. Since An Huai didn't cooperate, this evil technique naturally couldn't be carried out. Just then, Li Jinghuai used medicine to design a situation to have sex with Wen Zimo. Wen Zimo originally wanted to remain chaste for An Huai, so he was very disgusted with Li Jinghuai after he found out. But that celestial master found another method, which was this technique of borrowing a fetus to return to life. This technique didn't require the cooperation of the soul body and could forcibly connect the soul body with the mother. Only then did Wen Zimo change his mind."
"What happened next is what we've seen. The real culprit in this matter is not the untimely - deceased Song Yanling, nor the evil spirit An Huai, but the heartless and beast - like Wen Zimo!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly erupted in an uproar!
"So that's how it is... Wen Zimo is really a hypocrite!" Someone angrily cursed.
"Sure enough, she is the reincarnation of the玄女. She can really see the cause and effect of all things at a glance!" Someone else flattered and worshiped Liu Ruyan.
"Exactly. It's not like Shen Cuiyu, who has been going through so much trouble for so long! As expected, Ruyan is more capable!" Someone else took the opportunity to belittle Shen Cuiyu.
Liu Ruyan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. She said complacently, "The reason I didn't let you dig the grave just now was that I already knew the whole story and didn't want you to make a big fuss!"
