157 The Shaking Gravestone
Although Jiang Xi did not have the ambition to meddle in all the injustice in the world and kill all the disloyal people in the world, she was clear-minded and respected life.
“I really don’t like the empress.” Jiang Xi said with a sullen face as she hugged Zhao Ruifeng’s thin waist. In other words, she had never liked the empress since the first time she saw her.
Zhao Ruifeng chuckled. “What a coincidence, me too.”
The heavy rain was still pouring. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the leaves rustled in the wind.
Fang Yu was still unmarried, so she could not be buried in the ancestral grave. Master Fang loved his daughter and felt that he owed her, so he found a very remote place with good feng shui to bury her. He wanted her to be undisturbed after she died and have a better life in the next life. However, this place increased the difficulty of the rescue.
“This way. Hurry up, hurry up. I remember that the young lady was buried here…” A young servant girl from the Fang family led the way in front. The group ran madly, but with such heavy rain and the fact that half a day had passed. Jiang Xi’s heart felt heavy.
“The people in Jing City are really different. It seems to be popular to bury people alive. How scary. I really want to go back to the countryside.” Jiang Shan wiped the rainwater off his face as he muttered to himself while searching for a grave with the others.
After searching for more than an hour, they finally saw a lonely grave on the top of a mountain in the distance. Jiang Xi raised her voice and ordered, “Whether she’s dead or alive, dig up the grave first.”
The crowd instantly rushed up against the heavy rain. Jiang Xi also ignored the rain that was hitting her face and followed them. Zhao Ruifeng was very anxious. He was afraid that Jiang Xi would catch a cold from the rain. However, a life was at stake, so he could only follow her silently with his umbrella in hand.
“It’s there! That’s my Young Miss’s grave!” The maidservant exclaimed. Before she could finish her sentence, her voice seemed to be stuck. She stood there stupidly with her eyes wide open, almost popping out. “The Young Miss’ grave is moving…” The maidservant’s voice was trembling. Her legs and stomach were shaking, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her body.
The lonely grave was shaking rhythmically in the heavy rain, and a voice seemed to be coming through the sound of the rain, “One, two, one, two, one, two…” Every time the voice sounded, the grave would shake, and it was quite rhythmic.
A group of people trembled as they surrounded the lonely grave. Looking at the shaking grave, their bodies also began to sway uncontrollably. One, two, one, two, one, two…
Jiang Xi pursed her lips tightly, her expression was inexplicable. The grave was full of vitality, but the dark aura of death had disappeared.
“It moved, it moved. The grave moved again, and it moved even more.” Everyone looked at the shaking grave with some caution and approached step by step with their swords. They saw the soil on the grave fall down, which was particularly horrifying in this heavy rain. Even though the guards had been through hundreds of battles, they were terrified at this moment. Could there really be ghosts in this world?
“It seems like the corpse has come back to life.” Jiang Shan said from the back. At the same time, he sighed in his heart again. Jing City was too different. Not only did they bury people alive, but they could also come back to life after they died. There were so many new things. It was really eye-opening.
Zhao Ruifeng’s expression was a bit gloomy. It had been half a day since Fang Yu was buried. It was impossible for her to be alive after such a long time.
“Young Miss, Young Miss, you died so unjustly. If you have any grievances, don’t come looking for us, okay? You go find the empress and the crown prince. You are already dead even if you can’t bear to part with the crown prince. Humans and ghosts have different paths, and your fate has already come to an end.” The maidservant knelt down in the rain and kowtowed with all her might. “As the saying goes, every injustice had its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Miss, your body is getting worse day by day after you were engaged to the crown prince. Although this servant doesn’t know much, I know that the crown prince is protected by the imperial Qi. Even if you go to the crown prince, you won’t be able to see him, and your soul might even be scattered. Miss, listen to my advice and quickly lie back down. Don’t come out of the grave. This servant will burn things for you. You can take whatever you like.”
It would have been fine if the maidservant had not said it. Once she said it, the soil on the grave trembled even more violently. In an instant, the soil on the grave trembled clean, and the heavy rain seemed to become lighter slowly. The drizzling rain made the sky even gloomier. The soil was washed away, revealing the dark coffin. After a while, the coffin began to move again…
