Chapter 24 The Jinshu Sect's Successor

Yang Li's body disappeared from the closet at her home, and was then found in the stairwell of Building 34. This was too bizarre. There were many replies from colleagues below this message, and some were speculating.

Some of the causes of death were simply watching a movie. Turn off the phone, pick up the black wooden box and key card, close the door, and go to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel to check out. A middle-aged woman was sitting at the front desk watching a TV show and saw me.

When she was about to check out, she looked at the black wooden box in my hand and then at me. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly thought of something and the words that came to her lips were suppressed by her again. Then she gave it to me

Completed check-out procedures.

I saw doubts in her eyes. But I still didn’t ask any more questions. I walked out of the hotel door with the box in my arms. I looked at the time on my phone. It was only 6 o’clock in the morning, and the sky was gloomy.

There are almost no pedestrians on the street, giving people a very deserted feeling.

Looking to my right, there is a man wearing a ghost hunting Taoist priest's costume sitting on the ground. In front of him is a piece of cloth with Bagua Tai Chi printed on it. There is also a sign next to him, but this time, the sign is made of wood.

When he saw me coming over, the old Taoist priest motioned for me to sit down, and then he kept staring at my face. I felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, but I couldn't say anything directly.

"Your destiny shows that you met a noble person last night."

Looking at his serious look, I immediately understood what he meant, so I quickly promised that I would treat him to dinner and reimburse him for his travel expenses. When he heard me say this, his smiling eyes almost narrowed into slits.

. I was suddenly speechless.

"It's just a pity that all our hard work yesterday was in vain. We didn't gain anything. Because of this, I even went to the police station. It's really not worth the gain."

The smile on the old Taoist priest's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a very heartbroken expression. Looking at him like this, I can't find a suitable word to describe him, but he saved my life last night.

Now he is kind to me. So, after listening to his words, I said nothing more.

"By the way, what did you do with Yang Li's body last night? Why did I hear at the police station that her body was found in the stairwell? What happened?"

After the old Taoist priest was taken away last night, I was indeed the only one left there. So I told him everything that happened. After hearing this, the old Taoist priest was stunned for a few seconds, and then he said:

"It's really strange. The body was lost right in front of your eyes. I have never heard of it or seen it in all these years."

Both of us fell into silence. After a while, the old Taoist priest suddenly spoke:

"How about we go to the hospital and check on the cleaner. Since she was the first to discover Yang Li's body, she should know something."

I nodded and was about to get up and leave the place, but the old Taoist priest was still sitting there with no intention of moving. I turned around and saw him staring at the black wooden box in my arms. I suddenly

I have a bad feeling.

"What exactly is in this box of yours? Why do you keep it with you every time I see you? Last time I asked you, you prevaricated it, but you have been carrying it with you these past few days. Is it inside?

Is there any hidden secret?"

I suddenly became nervous. To be honest, even I don’t know where this box came from and what the letter and key inside mean. But this box is related to my recent experience, and I can’t directly

Tell others. When the old Taoist priest suddenly asked, I was at a loss. I quickly explained that there was a key inside, but I put the key in my pocket, and now the box is empty.

"Key? You open it now and let me see what's inside. Otherwise, I can't believe you. Now, although the evil ways are not visible in the world, they are still running rampant behind the scenes. Maybe what's in your box is

What kind of thing is harmful to human life."

The old Taoist priest looked at me warily, and I understood that now I could only open the box in front of him and let him see clearly what was inside.

Squatting down, I placed the box in my arms on the ground, and then slowly opened the lid. The old Taoist priest lowered his head and glanced inside the box. As I said, the box was empty. The old Taoist priest shifted his gaze again with doubt.

on me, and then spoke:

"Can you take the keys out so I can take a look?"

After hesitating for a moment, I took the key out of my pocket and placed it on the piece of cloth in front of the old Taoist priest. But to my surprise, it turned from black to pure white.

Just when I was wondering if I had picked up the wrong thing, the old Taoist priest suddenly said "Hey".

"I seem to have seen this key in some book, but I can't remember it for the moment."

The old Taoist priest held his head and looked at the key. After a few dozen seconds, he shook his head and handed the key to me. He stood up and started to pack away the fortune-telling things in it.

"What exactly should we do when we go to the hospital this time? The cleaner is the only witness at the scene and will be protected by the police. We may not be able to enter the ward."

As I spoke, I walked forward. When I turned around, I found that the old Taoist priest suddenly stopped where he was, his eyes widening and widening, and then he looked at me in shock.

"Nine-fold life coffin! You...who are you?"

I looked at him confused, not understanding why he had such a big reaction.

"Did you see what that key is used for? What is the Nine-fold Life Coffin?"

He took a few steps back, calmed down, and looked calmer. Then he put down what he was holding, straightened his body, stretched out his right hand, and said solemnly:
Chapter completed!
