For ten years I practiced Gu poison in Southeast Asia; all living beings revered me as a deity.

Did he ride a crane to immortality?

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed instantly.

"What did you say?!"

Liu Guangyang didn't believe him at all, and he grabbed Zhong Laosan's collar.

"What does this mean... Wasn't Master Diao perfectly fine yesterday? How could something have happened to him?"

"I...I don't know either."

Zhong Nanhu cried like a child, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"I came here this morning. It was Uncle Ya who told me that Master had passed away... His body is in his room..."

Liu Guangyang didn't say anything and went straight to Diao Wudou's room. Luo Feng followed closely behind. When the two opened the door, they saw the old man's corpse sitting in a grand chair.

Diao Wudou's body had become stiff. He sat motionless in the chair, his skin turning a gloomy, bluish-gray.

Immediately, Liu Guangyang burst into tears, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Diao Wudou's corpse.

……

……

Not long after, several of Diao Wudou's apprentices arrived.

According to Uncle Ya and his female disciple Shen Dagu who lived there, Uncle Ya was the first person to discover Diao Wudou's body.

When Uncle Ya and Aunt Shen discovered Diao Wudou's body, he was sitting in a chair, his body already stiff and covered in lividity.

"My cheap master, he's really dead!"

Luo Feng was also quite surprised by Diao Wudou's death.

This man is a successor of the Hong Tou Datuk Temple lineage. Diao Wudou should be quite capable, as he is able to control four altars, including the Tongtian Altar.

He was unsure of Zhou Jing's strength among Diao Wutou's disciples, but Liu Guangyang could only command two altars, namely the River-Turning Altar and the Sea-Stirring Altar.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, the ritual of setting up an altar is simply to allow the disciples of the Datuk Temple to invite more spirit masters so that they can gather power through the altar.

For example, when encountering powerful ghosts or evil spirits, fighting alone is not an option. Several disciples working together to perform a spirit writing ritual and set up an altar can unleash power several times greater than the original.

"When I saw Diao Wudou yesterday, he didn't look like a person who was about to die at all."

Luo Feng calmly began to analyze the situation.

Diao Wudou was old, but he looked quite healthy. It was only a sudden illness that could cause his sudden death.

"Something's not right about Diao Wudou's death..."

Luo Feng realized that this was likely part of a series of conspiracies. He looked at everyone present, and the disciples fell into a collective silence.

"The person died last night."

The disciple's fifth son was named Chen Laibao. He had studied medicine and, along with his younger brother Chen Yaqing, were merchants of medicinal herbs.

They mainly run herbal medicine shops in the city and frequently visit the area, sometimes to buy herbs and sometimes to bring herbs over.

"I am not a coroner, and I only have a rudimentary understanding of medicine... Master Diao has no obvious external injuries, but his hands and feet are cyanotic, which is very likely a sudden onset of angina pectoris."

Heart palpitations and chest pain are terms used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and are essentially heart-related diseases.

Is that really the case?

The third disciple, Pan Shou, had a stern face.

"Master Diao has always been in good health, and we've never noticed any illness in the past... How could he suddenly get this kind of illness? Is it possible that someone secretly gave Master Diao some kind of medicine, triggering this 'heart palpitation and chest pain' condition?"

"Third brother, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

Zhong Nanhu was furious.

"Master Diao has already passed away, and you're still saying such nonsense..."

"What nonsense! Zhong Laosan, use your brain! The person wasn't sick or injured, how could they just suddenly die?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? This is not the time for such talk. What we need to do is handle Master Diao's funeral arrangements."

"Why bother with funeral arrangements when someone dies under mysterious circumstances!"

Pan Shou slammed his hand on the table.

"That's enough!"

Liu Guangyang shouted loudly with a stern face.

"If you want to argue, get out!"

He was a gentle man who never lost his temper. But now, this honest man roared, startling both Zhong Nanhu and Pan Shou, who were stunned.

"Since Master Diao is dead, we must handle his funeral arrangements, which is also our responsibility as his disciples."

Liu Guangyang sighed: "But I also feel that Master Diao's death was suspicious. Junior Brother Laibao, are you sure that Master died of illness, rather than being assassinated?"

Chen Baolai frowned slightly. He hadn't expected his usually mild-mannered second senior brother to say something like "plot against". He and his younger brother Chen Yaqing were also saddened to hear of Diao Wudou's passing, but they never imagined that someone would plot against their master.

"The disease of fainting is very complex, and some mechanisms are still unclear. Perhaps some drugs and poisons can cause qi fainting and blood fainting, but I have never heard of anyone causing cardiac fainting and chest pain..."

"There were no signs of poisoning on my master's body."

His younger brother, Chen Yaqing, added: "It shouldn't be a sudden death from poisoning. I pricked Master Diao's finger with a silver needle and found that the needle didn't react... Of course, neither my brother nor I are coroners, and our judgment is limited."

He paused, then added, "Besides, this is Sarawak, and it's hard to find truly experienced coroners."

However, I know some British doctors who seem to study corpses, calling it pathology. If we could find someone knowledgeable in this kind of medicine, we should be able to find some clues.

"Wait a minute, are you people out of your minds or have you lost your minds?"

Zhong Nanhu jumped out to object.

"What makes you think that Master Diao was murdered? Was he someone an ordinary person capable of dealing with?"

"Zhong Laosan, why do you think it's only natural that Master will die?"

Pan Shou's voice was very impolite.

"Could it be that you did this?"

Zhong Nanhu was completely taken aback by his words. His face immediately turned ashen, and with a flick of his sleeve, he angrily exclaimed, "Ridiculous! You think I would kill Master... What kind of pig brain do you have?!"

"Of everyone, you're the one most opposed to this. Who else could it be but you?"

Pan Shou's tone was very serious.

It was this seriousness that completely enraged Zhong Nanhu.

"Third brother, you're asking for it!"

"Try saying that again!"

Both of them stood up from their chairs.

"Alright, I told you all to stop arguing."

Liu Guangyang spoke again.

"Pan Shou, stop talking about Zhong Laosan... He wasn't even at the temple yesterday, how could he possibly have gone to harm Master? And if you insist that one of our fellow disciples was trying to harm Master, then what about Uncle Ya and Junior Sister Shen?"

"this……"

Pan Shou was speechless.

"Nanhu, don't get too agitated."

Liu Guangyang walked over to Zhong Nanhu and patted him on the shoulder.

"Master Diao's passing was sudden, and everyone is saddened. Pan Shou wasn't targeting you... Don't get angry about this; we're all family!"

"it is good."

Zhong Nanhu's expression was very unpleasant. He took a deep breath and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you're right."

Once again, everyone fell into a collective silence.

At the same time, Luo Feng observed everyone's expressions and naturally had some thoughts about these matters.

Diao Wudou's sudden death was highly unusual;

Upon closer examination, Zhou Jing's appearance is also unusual;

There's also the matter at the mine, that Luo family, the infamous "Rotten-Foot Luo" Luo Daming;

Maya sorcerer, "Zhenni" evil spirit... everything is very abnormal.

"It seems necessary to investigate this matter."

Luo Feng looked at his right hand, where the swirling pattern, the Reincarnation Gu mark, was flashing a pale red light.

At this moment, he could see lines of text in his mind.

[Using one intervention opportunity can interrupt this cycle of reincarnation, or return to the origin of 'Ding Miaosheng's cycle of reincarnation' and start the intervention anew!]

[Your reward has been claimed. You can return to reality or choose to proceed directly to the next stage...]

After marking the location of the durian orchard, he can freely interrupt and end the cycle of reincarnation, return to reality, or go back to the starting point.

Let's return to reality!

He muttered to himself.

Then, everything around faded into darkness, like a movie ending.

You have exited the cycle of reincarnation.

[The "Scenes of Ding Miaosheng's Reincarnation" is ongoing... You have used 1 intervention opportunity, with 27 opportunities remaining.]

[Evaluation: This directly interrupts the current cycle segment. The next time you enter, you will automatically enter the marked location (you can also manually return to the origin of the cycle segment)].

[Reward: Having experienced this segment of reincarnation, you have gained the favor of "Mr. Kawaguchi" and become a "favored one" of the Yin Master. You can now attempt to communicate with him.]

"call!"

He opened his eyes, took out his phone to check the time, and realized that only a few moments had passed and he was still on the plane.

"Alright... there should still be plenty of time. This cycle segment isn't emphasizing a survival crisis; it's more likely that it's necessary to enter another cycle segment to investigate more information! This time, I want to find out the cause of Diao Wudou's death!"

Luo Feng re-entered "Ding Miaosheng's Reincarnation Fragment" and returned to the initial point in time... This time, he would investigate from the earliest timeline.
