Chapter 4: The Blood Case Brought by the Pearl Necklace

  When Jian Yu Mei was waiting for his father's news at the exit of the pit on the wasteland, he heard his father's loud cry, and he was shocked. In his memory, his father rarely appeared in such a situation in the tomb.

  Something must have happened! Xian Yu Mei was thinking.

  Things couldn't wait for him to think much, he hurriedly took one end of the long rope and ran to the nearest big tree, fixed one end of the rope tightly on a branch of the big tree, then he ran back to the entrance of the cave, he threw down the well-fixed long rope, and he slid down along the rope himself.

  He knew that his father must have gotten into trouble, and at this moment he had to go rescue his own father. All these years, Jian Yu Mei knew that he couldn't leave his father. That was all the family affection and love he had.

  However, when he slid more than halfway down and was about to reach the bottom of the tomb, a pair of large hands grabbed him. Sword Emperor Mei looked back and saw that someone had slid along his rope to his back and caught up with him.

  "Let me go, whoever you are! I have to save people!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "You can't save him anymore, hurry up and go!" After finishing speaking, the man pulled the sword to the top, he was hanging upside down, his legs clamped on the rope, his hands grasped the sword, then his legs climbed up quickly like hands, Sword Immortal wanted to struggle but couldn't.

  That man quickly drew his sword and struck Mira.

  At this moment, a loud rumble came from underground, as if everything was closed together. The man hastily took Sword Emperor Mei away from the cave entrance.

  At this time, the surroundings started to blow wind again, and dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, followed by lightning and thunder, and then a heavy rain poured down!

  In the strong wind, Jian Yu Mei shouted loudly for her father, but that mysterious person covered Jian Yu Mei's mouth.

  "Don't shout so loudly, it's late at night, if you wake up the villagers, you won't be able to leave!" he said.

  "But I know them, they know we're not bad people!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "If they find you here, you might not be able to leave! Don't believe me? Just try it!" the man said.

  At this moment, Jian Yu Mei's tears had blurred her eyes, and she was already in a daze.

  When he thought of going back to that hole again, he only felt a blow on the acupuncture points on his back. He fainted immediately.

  When Jian Yu Mei woke up from her coma, the storm had already passed.

  "Dad! Dad!" he shouted, seeing that he was still at the scene, but now it was dawn. Jian Yu Mei saw that the terrain in front of him had changed. The protruding parts from yesterday were gone, and the entire site was now a flat ground. After being washed by the torrential rain of yesterday, everything was spotless. Including the deep hole he and his father had dug.

  "Dad!" Jian Yu Wei shouted loudly, pounding the ground, hoping to hear his father's voice from below. But there was no sound at all. Only a dead silence!

  Jian Yu's eyes were red from crying, everything had come too suddenly, he hadn't even had time to process it.

  It was just like the year my mother passed away, it was also very sudden. That year, my father went out to do business, and at that time, the whole family didn't know what kind of business my father was doing, they only knew that he was going out to do business. Every time my father came back, he would bring a lot of silver coins back, saying it was earned from doing business.

  At that time, Mingming's mother was fine the night before, but by the next morning, she had fallen in her own room, with a terrified expression on her face, as if she had seen something that scared her to death.

  Jian Yu Mei suddenly remembered that last midnight, she clearly heard her mother's terrified voice coming from her room: "Who are you?"

  Then Jian Yu Mei heard a burst of woman's laughter, followed by her mother's mournful cry.

  But then he got up and went outside his mother's room, shouting: "Mother, mother, open the door! What's going on, mother?"

  Then came her mother's voice: "Mei, I had a nightmare, it's okay now, you go to sleep!"

  I had just returned to my room with mixed feelings of doubt and uncertainty, as it was midnight and I wasn't very clear-headed.

  It wasn't until the next morning that Jianyu Xun saw his mother's dead body, and only then did he remember that the voice from earlier was not actually his mother's voice, but rather someone imitating it. The voice had been so stiff and unnatural, definitely not his mother's.

  It's all too late now. But who was that laughing woman? This question had been on Jian Yuexin's mind all along.

  Later, when it was time for the funeral procession, Father still hadn't made it back.

  At that time, my mother passed away with a string of pearls around her neck, which had a very strange function - it could emit soft blue light at night. It was brought back by my father from outside, and since my mother wore this necklace, she could walk into any dark room without using a lantern at night.

  Her mother loved that necklace so much and always wore it with her until she passed away.

  When his mother's funeral procession was passing through the streets on its way to the cemetery, a monk appeared by the roadside.

  All I saw was his benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, with a noble and dignified demeanor.

  "Amitabha Buddha!" He came before the crowd and found Jian Yu Mei. "Benefactor, are you a filial child?"

  "Yes, Master, what instructions do you have for me?" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "Benefactor, there is a very strong yin energy in your mother's coffin. Can you open it and let me take a look? Because this yin energy is not eliminated, your mother cannot rest in peace, and apart from being unable to reincarnate smoothly, it will also affect you and your father!"

  Jian Yu Mei was only thirteen years old at the time, but he could understand the master's meaning.

  "Alright then, Master, can't you follow us to the burial site? It would be more convenient to open the coffin there. We're on a main street here and I'm afraid of alarming the villagers!" said Jian Yu Mei.

  "Good, Old Na also means this!" Master said.

  When the master followed Sword Envoy Mei to the mountain, he saw that it was a traditional cemetery, with green hills behind and trees surrounding it, which was also a resting place.

  This is where Uncle helped find a place, and Mother's funeral was also handled together with Uncle.

  When we arrived at the burial site, under the guidance of the Feng Shui master, the workers had dug a grave for my mother. Everyone lowered her coffin into it. At this time, according to custom, a ritual of dressing and capping should be performed.

  The workers helped to open the coffin lid, and saw that the mother was sleeping inside. Although she had undergone some treatment, her face still looked uneasy. There was a look of great terror on her face, as if something horrific had happened to her!

  The sword is covered with tears of blood and again rushes straight up.

  The master sighed and descended into the grave, carefully examining the objects in his mother's coffin. His eyes fixed on a string of pearls.

  "Where did this necklace come from, does the donor know?" The master said.

  "I don't know, it was a gift from a friend to my dad, and then my dad gave it to mom!"; Jian Yu Mei didn't want to lie, but at this moment he felt that the matter was quite serious, he was afraid of affecting his father's safety, so he hid some things.

  The master didn't mind Sword Immortal's words.

  His hand simply stretched out lightly, and before Sword Immortal could see clearly, the necklace automatically moved from his mother's neck to the master's hand.

  "An injustice that has lasted for a thousand years is still entwined!" The master gazed at the chain and let out a soft sigh.

  "'Master's words, I don't quite understand!' said Jian Yu Mei."

  Everyone present was confused, including Jian Yu Mei's uncle, who also looked at the master, hoping that the master could solve the puzzle.

  "This necklace carries the vengeful spirit of a woman who lived over a thousand years ago. Your mother was a woman from the Han Dynasty, a palace maid. She had died because of your mother. So, after a thousand years, she was placed in this necklace by someone to exact revenge on your mother! What's strange is that this pearl necklace is clearly something from the imperial palace, so how did it end up with your father?"

  "How did the master determine that this is something from the Han Dynasty imperial palace?" asked Jian Yu Mei.
