Chapter 297 1 spit out
When it came to the crucial moment, Huineng kept the topic in suspense. Chen Ji knew that Huineng was like a child at times, so he pretended to be curious and asked him:
"Who is hiding in the dark?"
Hearing Chen Ji's question, Huineng indeed showed an expression that was both happy and proud, but soon, tears flashed in his eyes, as if he was feeling sentimental about something.
"The man in the dark is not one of mine. If he is, I will order him to shut up. He is also not one of Chen Lingyi's men. If he is, I will kill him to silence him.
When I saw that man, when that face appeared before my eyes, I knew that God wanted me to do this!"
"It's Uncle Li, right?"
Luo Xiaoran's voice was a little shaky. She couldn't wait for Huineng to lay the groundwork like a storyteller, so she asked directly.
Huineng didn't say anything, but just nodded in response to Luo Xiaoran's question, recalling the scene at that time as if he was drunken and fascinated.
"The man in the dark was none other than Li Heng! He had already understood my intentions, so he took the initiative to come out.
At that time, his only remaining right arm had been chopped off in the fight with the assassin. His face was extremely pale and he was almost dying.
He asked me to kill him and put his body together with the child's.
He said that since I dared to use the child's body to pretend to be Chen Xingchen, it meant that the assassins did not know what Chen Xingchen looked like.
He said that Chen Lingyi knew his appearance, and as long as he died beside this child, Chen Lingyi's people would believe that the child was Chen Xingchen.
He said that he knew the child, and that the child's body suffered in order to protect Chen Xingchen, which would make those who cared about the child sad and upset, and he would go to the underworld to apologize to the child.
That child must be the 'Niu Dan' you mentioned! Li Heng finally said 'I'm sorry' to the distance. I wonder if he said it to you?"
Huineng's last words were directed to Luo Xiaoran, but after listening to his story, Luo Xiaoran remained silent for a long time. His calm appearance was completely different from his previous look when he was determined to kill Huineng for revenge.
Huineng's patience seemed to be extremely limited tonight, and he completely adopted the strategy of "if the enemy doesn't move, I will move". He couldn't help but stretch his neck and ask Luo Xiaoran and Chen Ji:
"Do you have any other questions? I will only answer them tonight. After tonight, you will never have another chance again!"
Luo Xiaoran suddenly moved. While Chen Ji was not paying attention, she suddenly jumped to Huineng's side. In the semi-dark space, she stared at Huineng's face and asked in a cold voice:
"Regarding the bloody incident at Prince Yan's Mansion, it's all your one-sided story. Why should we believe you?"
Huineng was startled by Luo Xiaoran who suddenly ran over. After coming to his senses, he spread his hands and simply threw the jar into the ground:
"I have said everything I should say. If you don't believe me, then there is nothing I can do."
The main point is: Believe it or not!
Luo Xiaoran focused all her attention on observing Huineng's expression, but unfortunately, she didn't see any clues from Huineng's expression.
Luo Xiaoran went back and asked Chen Ji in a low voice whether he believed Huineng's words. Chen Ji thought for a moment and nodded slightly to her.
"At least, judging from all the clues now, there are no flaws."
Thinking carefully about Jiayi's words, Jiayi did not say that he saw with his own eyes that it was Huineng who killed Li Shu and Niu Dan. He only saw Huineng and the assassins break into the Prince of Yan's Mansion, that's all.
Therefore, even if they do not believe Huineng's words, they have no evidence to overturn or refute them for the time being.
Luo Xiaoran's heart sank to the bottom again. If what Huineng said was true, and Niu Dan's body was sent by the spy sent by Chen Lingyi, then it was just as she thought before, Niu Dan became Chen Lingyi's tool for revenge against her!
Indulging in endless self-blame and anger, Luo Xiaoran clenched her fists, trying to calm herself down.
"If you really are a person who can use corpses to revive, how do you use other people's corpses?
How did you find out that Xiao Ran was also a resurrected person? "
Chen Ji's question temporarily rescued Luo Xiaoran from her violent negative emotions. She looked at Huineng blankly with an unclear expression.
Chen Ji also stared at Huineng with full concentration.
"Reincarnation through a corpse" was the charge that Emperor Taizong used to execute his mother. He had always believed that this was just something the Lin family had fabricated and it was completely untrue!
But Huineng told him today that Huineng and Luo Xiaoran were both people who had resurrected through borrowing other people's bodies. This was simply... too ridiculous!
"Finally you asked me this question. I thought you could hold it in!"
Huineng danced with joy. After twenty years, he could finally let everything out!
"Let's first talk about how to revive a dead body. To be honest, there are only three words to say: I don't know!
All I know is that after I died, I woke up in the body of a monk named Huineng.
I had no memory of Huineng, but judging by his bald, ordained head, I presumed that I was a monk.
I had a bag with me, and I took out a pass from it. On it was Huineng's name, and it recorded the checkpoints he passed along the way from Anruo Temple to Kyoto.
While checking the pass, I felt a dull pain in my calf. I lifted up my pants and saw a wound on my calf in the shape of two small dots.
I guess Huineng must have been bitten to death by a poisonous snake before, so I woke up from his body."
When Huineng said this, he looked at Luo Xiaoran with interest and asked in the tone of a fellow villager:
"How did you get here?"
At this point, Luo Xiaoran felt that she no longer had the need to hide anything. In addition, the deaths of Niu Dan and Uncle Li had made her somewhat dazed, and her mental defenses were at their lowest. She said to Huineng in a muffled voice:
“Like you, I died once and woke up in this body. I have no memory of this body.
You are lucky enough to know the original owner's identity and origin. When I woke up, I knew almost nothing about my body, and I encountered a flood and fled all the way here."
After finishing speaking, Luo Xiaoran turned to look at Chen Ji, her voice very sincere:
"I didn't mean to hide this matter. It's just that in your era, people believe in and are very afraid of these supernatural things. If I reveal that I can use a corpse to revive, I don't think I will end up well."
"It's definitely not going to end well!" Huineng interrupted Luo Xiaoran's explanation to Chen Ji, "Xiao Ji'er's mother is a lesson for us!"
As soon as Huineng finished speaking, Chen Ji's urgent words rang out:
"Hui Neng, what do you mean? Do you know my mother? Could it be that my mother is really... a resurrected person?"
Chen Ji already believed that Huineng and Luo Xiaoran were resurrected ghosts, so he blurted out this sentence when Huineng mentioned his mother.
Chen Ji really couldn't think of any reason why Luo Xiaoran would lie to him together with Huineng.
