There is a trick

Chapter 54 Body and Head

The woman had a bun hairstyle commonly seen in Qing palace dramas. The kingfisher feather jewelry and colorful hairpins in her hair had developed a matte patina due to the erosion of time.

She was holding a baby and approaching Zhou Chang's body.

Zhou Chang smelled a mixture of the stench of corpse and mold.

She only showed up in Zhou Chang's 'flash glance' and the corner of his eye.

As Zhou Chang subconsciously looked towards where she was standing, the swaddled concubine suddenly disappeared.

However, the mixed smell of corpse and mold always lingered around Zhou Chang and could not be shaken off.

——'She' is staying around Zhou Chang now, but if you want to see her, you need a special way of observation.

"Did you smell anything strange?"

Zhou Chang looked at the other two and suddenly asked.

He was not sure whether the concubine was targeting him alone and following him, or whether the other two had already noticed the concubine's existence but did not dare to ask out loud out of fear.

Combined with what Mr. Bai said before, if he was targeted by this former Qing concubine, he would most likely smell the stench of corpse on her body.

The stench of corpse may be an important feature to distinguish whether the other two have been targeted by the concubines of the former Qing Dynasty.

Bai Xiu'e shook her head blankly after hearing what Zhou Chang said, and pointed in front of her and said, "I didn't smell anything strange, but the stone tablet in front of us disappeared."

Father Bai looked nervous and nodded as well.

"Hasn't the stone tablet often appeared and disappeared before? Don't worry about it." Zhou Chang responded casually, then looked at Bai's father and asked, "Before, when Bai Xiu'e's grandfather met the concubine who was nursing the child, and the concubine asked him what she wanted, did he never respond?"

"Let me think..." Father Bai frowned and thought carefully for a while, then shook his head firmly, "No.

He was just scared at the time and wanted to escape quickly, so how could he dare to respond to that strange concubine?

Who knows if responding to her will leave the body behind by the head in its arms. "

Zhou Chang sniffed. He felt that the mixed smell of corpse and mold was getting closer and closer, as if it was within three to five feet around him.

It is still unclear whether this former Qing concubine is now a demon or a secular god.

But it stands quietly in front of the living people. The living people usually cannot see it and can only smell its stench. It's creepy to think about it.

It was getting closer and closer to Zhou Chang. When it got close to a certain distance, who could have predicted what would happen?
Zhou Chang pondered and started walking again, taking the other two with him, along the mountain path towards the Bai family's tomb.

The mountain fog, which came from nowhere, has blocked the mountain road.

However, among the three people present, except for Father Bai, the other two were all extraordinary, so even though their vision was limited, the two of them were able to carry Father Bai and their movements were not affected at all.

Zhou Chang hurried forward. He just wanted to give it a try to see if the concubine of the former Qing Dynasty would leave him after he left Bai Family Tomb.

But he got distracted.

Even when he crossed the mountain path and climbed over the hill and was completely out of the territory of the Bai family's cemetery, the stench lingering in his nostrils not only did not dissipate, but became even stronger.

It was simply like a corpse whose internal organs were highly decayed but whose appearance remained unchanged, just like his face was pressed against his!
The corpse was still breathing, and the highly decayed stench in its chest and abdominal cavity followed the breath and kept drilling into Zhou Chang's nostrils!

Zhou Chang stopped and said to himself, "Could it be that Patriarch Wen also saw this former Qing concubine?

What kind of deal did he make with this former Qing concubine?"

Father Bai was stunned when he heard the voice.

He couldn't keep up with Zhou Chang's thinking. He didn't know where Zhou Chang got this from.

But Bai Xiu'e was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

She frowned and thought, then whispered, "According to what Dad said before, Grandpa saw the golden head open its mouth, and under the tongue in its mouth, there were a number of tablets, and one of them had the word 'Wen' on it...

Maybe that is the tablet of Patriarch Wen...

There is also a stone tablet and plaque sent by Old Ancestor Wen at the Bai family tomb - maybe he did make some kind of deal with that former Qing concubine."

“That former Qing Dynasty concubine should be dead.

It's just that she is parasitized by the head that looks like Yongzheng's, so she can't rest in peace even after death." Zhou Chang's eyes were sharp, "Every word she uttered actually represents the will of Yongzheng's head.

If Wen Yongsheng really made some deal with Yongzheng's head, then Wen Yongsheng must have obtained a divine banner from Yongzheng.

And Yongzheng took Wen Yongsheng's body and used it for a while."

Bai Xiu'e opened her mouth slightly.

She instinctively felt that Zhou Chang's speculation was completely correct, but she couldn't follow Zhou Chang's thinking.

"Was Yongsheng Winery founded by Wen Yongsheng or was it the work of Emperor Yongzheng?" Zhou Chang's eyes were shining brightly. He stared at Bai Xiu'e, but called out another person's name, "Bai Ma, Bai Ma!"

Hearing this, Bai Xiu'e looked at her father hesitantly and whispered, "Dad, don't be afraid..."

"I've seen everything now, what else do I have to be afraid of?" Father Bai smiled with relief.

Then he saw another face "growing" on half of Bai Xiu'e's cheek, and he was stunned and confused!

Bai Ma's face was frosty. He looked at Zhou Chang coldly without saying a word.

Zhou Chang tapped his temple with his fingers and asked Bai Ma directly: "I will die without a head, but the corpse can live without a head - Feng Qi's death omen actually has no effect on the corpse, right?"

Bai Ma nodded.

"I think that the death omen of Shengleng Heichang is not completely unaffected by the corpse." Zhou Chang suddenly overturned his previous inference, "Even if it is a corpse, a complete body is better than a body with parts missing.

——When eunuchs leave the palace, they have to spend a huge amount of money to redeem the part they are missing.

What’s more, the brain is such an important part of the body?
Therefore, the corpse had almost no way out at that time. In order to force me to death, it would rather give up its own head!
The corpse lost its head, which was a helpless act for it.

But for your master, Bai Ma, this move is exactly what the Treasure King behind you wants, right? !

I can sense that although this corpse only has instincts now, the consciousness of all living things is born one by one from the cultivation of instincts. But if its head is gone, perhaps it will only have the instinct of feasting and will never be able to develop consciousness!
An old man who only has instincts left is the training target of the Treasure King!
Therefore, leaving the corpses without a leader is an important part of the plan of the God of Wealth!
So when I looked back at that time, I hit Feng Qi's taboo, and you shed tears and said that I had no chance -

Isn't it? Bai Ma! "

Bai Ma was extremely shocked by Zhou Chang's repeated words.

She looked at Zhou Chang's dead face, but could not see the living soul hidden behind this face.

Bai Ma was horrified for a moment!
"We still have a chance now, Bai Ma." Zhou Chang stared straight into Bai Ma's eyes, his gaze seemed to penetrate her soul, "What do you think if I put someone else's head on the corpse?
Bai Ma, have you thought it over?

You are my partner and my helper.

If I have a chance, you have a chance too!"
