Di Renjie's grandfather, Di Xiaoxu, was highly regarded by the great ancestor Li Yuan. He had served as the general manager and general of the army!
Although he had become a little quiet after Second Emperor Li ascended the throne, it was not a big deal. He was still put in an important position. During the Zhenguan period, he was even promoted to Minister Zuo Cheng, Minister of the Bianzhou military, Golden Purple Guanglu doctor, and was knighted as Linying Man!
"Oh? In other words, this ghost was only active in the ancestral hall and patrolled back and forth at night? But why did he come out last night?”
Inside the ancestral hall? Patrol back and forth?
Di Renjie narrowed his eyes. He felt that he had caught on to something important.
"I don't know about that! However, your father has been worried to death about this matter these days. It is said that even the current Emperor has heard about it!”
Di Muhuai pinched his beard and continued to talk like a chatterbox.
"But what are you doing on that path in the middle of the night? Ever since the corpse of a servant was found there more than twenty days ago, no one dared to take that path!”
Upon hearing this, Di Renjie seemed to recall something. In his memory, something big had happened in the mansion that day. However, because he was still young, no one told him the details.
"That kind of death…It's really strange!"
Di Muhuai's expression was rather solemn, and there was a hint of confusion between his brows. Even though he had been wandering the Jianghu for a period of time and was knowledgeable, he still could not understand what had happened that day.
"There are no wounds on the corpse, and its entire body is stiff. Its four limbs are still twisted in an unbelievable way, just... It was as if…* Cough * Cough…"
As Di Muhuai spoke, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Di Renjie, who was listening attentively, from the corner of his eye. He reacted and coughed a few times.
Why are you telling this to a child? Wasn't he just trying to scare her? Hence, she changed the topic and rubbed Di Renjie's little head. She said kindly,
"Little doll, don't ask so much about this. You won't be able to sleep at night! Grandpa is tired too. You can go play on the other side.”
Although Di Renjie was a little annoyed, he knew that Grandpa Mu would not continue talking. However, he had already understood most of the information, so he pursed his lips and said," Alright…" Grandpa Mu, I'll go inside and burn some incense."”
Di Muhuai naturally wouldn't stop him. He waved his hand and let Di Renjie in.
The layout of the entire ancestral hall was quite simple, but it was extremely spacious inside.
As soon as he walked in, he saw wooden signs placed on a large table. In front of the table was a small antique incense burner with several large incense sticks burning on it.
The wooden plaque was naturally the name of the Di Family's ancestor who was worshipped here.
There were portraits on the surrounding walls, and in the corner of the wall, there was a copper furnace that was half the height of a person.
After Di Renjie finished burning the incense, he began to observe carefully.
"Hmm? The position of this copper furnace seemed to have been moved?”
Very soon, the meticulous Di Renjie noticed something strange and walked towards the copper furnace that was half the height of a man.
This copper furnace had three legs and two ears. It was made of pure copper and looked rather heavy. It was obvious that it had been placed here for a long time. Three marks had already been left on the ground.
At this moment, the front foot was slightly off by about half a fingernail. If Di Renjie was not careful, it would be difficult to notice such a small detail!
"This copper furnace should weigh more than a hundred pounds. Someone must have moved it recently, but who would be so bored? What is his purpose?"
As Di Renjie thought about it, he lay down and reached his hand into the bottom of the furnace. He knocked on the bricks there and found that they were hollow!
Was there something hidden underneath?
Unfortunately, Di Renjie's current weak body could not move this cumbersome copper furnace.
After pondering for a while, he walked towards the big table again and carefully examined the incense burner and the wooden token behind it.
"Sure enough, there are traces of being moved here!”
Di Renjie had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the "ghost" appearing here. It was looking for something!
Moreover, it was very likely that this thing was in this ancestral hall. Otherwise, why would it only wander around here?
The key question now was whether the thing it needed was hidden under the copper furnace. Or was it taken away by it?
No! It had appeared last night!
Di Renjie suddenly woke up. There were so many people here last night, how could he have the time to move this copper furnace?
Moreover, looking at the traces, they should have been left behind by the movement a few days ago!
This was strange. Since it had moved the copper furnace, it should have noticed something strange. Could it be that the thing it wanted was not under the copper furnace?
Things became a little confusing.
Shaking his head, Di Renjie decided to capture the " ghost " first…
Who told you to scare me!
This was a nagging from a devilish brat. The first thing he did after transmigrating was to faint from fear. This was undoubtedly a humiliation!
