Chapter 21 No!
In the end, Gu Qingheng could not persuade Gu Yu.
As he sheepishly returned to his room to rest, Gu Yu couldn’t help but smile, thinking that his younger brother-in-law’s courage was not very good!
Listening to the words of the bearded big man, it was clear that the incident of the missing corpse was not caused by ghosts and monsters.
It was a man-made incident, so they could investigate with peace of mind and would not disappear inexplicably midway.
However, even if he knew that what the bearded big man had just said was likely true.
Gu Qingheng did not want to gamble on something that had a low probability of happening.
So, it was better to go back and sleep honestly and wait to hear about the aftermath of the matter later.
“A’yu, don’t you really want to go and see the mortuary?”
After Gu Qingheng left, Gu Mengyao finally spoke, lest Gu Yu hear it and start pestering them again.
Gu Mengyao was very familiar with her younger brother.
However, she was even more curious about Gu Yu’s decision, wondering why Gu Yu had a change of heart today and decided not to sneak into the mortuary at night to investigate the identities of those who were also curious about the human bone treasure map.
Even she was a little curious now, who were these people who stole corpses!
What was the sacred land they spoke of.
Why was it related to the iron lion, or how was it related to the treasure map.
For a moment, there were many questions surrounding Gu Mengyao.
“Silly wife, there were quite a few people listening to stories on the first floor of the inn today. After hearing about Zhou Li’s matter, I’m afraid many people are itching to go to the mortuary in Huali Town… There’s no need for us to rush ahead. Instead, we can stay here for two more days and hear the aftermath of the matter.”
When Gu Yu heard Gu Mengyao’s words, he smiled slightly, indicating that there was no need to rush now.
If it were about the appearance of peerless treasures, Gu Yu would definitely be the first to find them and hoard them in his space.
But now that the treasure was replaced by corpse-stealing guys, Gu Yu was a bit unwilling.
Even if the origin of these people interested Gu Yu, it was only because of the treasure map. Now that Gu Yu already had a complete treasure map, there was no need to fight for another one.
The proposal to stay here now was because Gu Yu was worried that the people stealing corpses wanted the treasure map, and it was exactly the same as the content on the human bone treasure map.
In that case, Gu Yu had to strike first!
Directly destroy the second treasure map.
As a result, no one would fight over it, and they could continue their journey at a leisurely pace.
Of course, if someone remembered the location and wanted to fight with them, Gu Yu would not mind.
Treasure!
The capable gets it.
Gu Yu would not let those who wanted to snatch his treasure suffer too much. It was better to die quickly.
“So that’s how it is!”
“Yes, the mortuary is not a good place. There’s no need to go with so many people. It’s better to wait for news here at the inn! It’s estimated that tomorrow will be an exciting day.”
Afterward, Gu Mengyao, after finishing the meal on the table and attracting the attention of various tables, left gracefully with Gu Yu, leaving behind the shocked crowd thinking that it was too terrifying to marry such a woman!
It was estimated that they would be eaten to the point of poverty.
However, they didn’t know how much silver Gu Yu had… To be eaten poor by Gu Mengyao was a difficult thing.
…
“Holy crap, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, last night was really remarkable, so exciting!”
The next morning, just as Gu Yu wanted to sleep in, Gu Qingheng suddenly appeared, jumping and bouncing.
This made Gu Yu roll over speechlessly, covering his head with the quilt, not wanting to see Gu Qingheng’s excited expression due to gossip.
Why was Gu Qingheng so cheerful this early in the morning!
Gu Yu, who disliked getting up early, was still planning to sleep in.
“Brother-in-law, stop sleeping! Aren’t you curious about that so-called Sacred Venerable?”
“…”
“I went to inquire early this morning. I heard that more than a dozen people sneaked into the mortuary last night and started searching meticulously… Afterward, they actually found something.”
Originally, Gu Yu did not want to pay attention to Gu Qingheng.
However, unexpectedly, Gu Qingheng said something that piqued Gu Yu’s interest, which made Gu Yu have to sigh that his younger brother-in-law was too amazing when it came to gossip!
However, thinking of the eloquent bearded big man from last night, Gu Yu was not surprised at all.
Perhaps this was one of the characteristics of people who liked gossip.
Anyway, Gu Yu wouldn’t, and Gu Mengyao wouldn’t either…
“What did they find?”
“Heh heh, brother-in-law, you can’t guess! They found a mechanism on a stone platform in the mortuary. After breaking the mechanism, a strong smell of corpse decay immediately emanated from it! It is said that everyone who smelled it at the time almost vomited their internal organs.”
“Corpse smell? So, the mortuary in Pear Blossom Town is the lair of those people… Even if it’s not a lair, it’s a sacred place.”
“Heh heh, brother-in-law, you are so smart!”
After hearing Gu Qingheng speak, Gu Yu immediately started to deduce based on the information he had.
As he spoke, he revealed the truth.
This made Gu Qingheng, who wanted to keep it a secret, wilt, but then he thought, in so many years, he seemed to have never succeeded.
His brother-in-law’s deductive ability was truly too powerful!
“Don’t flatter me. Since they have found the sacred land, why don’t they go down?”
“It’s not that they don’t want to go down, but the underground pit they dug is full of corpses, and there’s no place to step! I don’t know if it’s because Zhou Li leaked the news, causing those who wanted to open the sacred land to go berserk and scatter corpses everywhere as obstacles.”
“It’s just corpses, it shouldn’t stop those who want to get rich, right?”
“If it were just ordinary corpses, then it would be fine. The main ones are highly decayed corpses, making it impossible to do anything… Fortunately, specialists were contacted this morning to clear all those corpses away.”
Afterward, listening to Gu Qingheng’s words, Gu Yu’s idea of going to take a look immediately extinguished.
In such a situation, what was there to see!
Go to see corpses?
The mere thought of corpses everywhere made Gu Yu feel disgusted, let alone going to see them intentionally.
“By the way, brother-in-law, do you want to go and see? Maybe you can find some clues that others haven’t found!”
“Get lost, no!”
However, just as Gu Yu was feeling disgusted, Gu Qingheng’s words immediately made Gu Yu unable to help but extend his foot and kick the annoying younger brother-in-law out.
