Chapter 63 Promise Flame Pill

"Liu Suiyun is a morally noble person. He doesn't even go to brothels. His only hobby is to study and occasionally attend the cultural meetings of the Hanlin Academy."

"He was the top scholar ten years ago, so he has some status among the Confucian school, is easy-going, and has a relatively harmonious relationship with other great Confucians."

"The only strange thing is that he has been to the cemetery on the outskirts of the city these days... According to my investigation, his parents died early and were all buried in Lingnan. Several of his close friends were also alive, so it seemed very strange that he came to the cemetery."

Yuan Min stood in the cemetery and told the information he had found.

Wu Jun stood listlessly beside him and said in confusion: "Since you have found the clues, just keep checking, and you still ask me to do something..."

In order to obtain the book "Cicada Shape", Wu Jun promised Yuan Min to temporarily act as the chief clerk of the East Factory to assist him in investigating the group of people who assassinated him. Unexpectedly, before the secret book was warmed up, he was taken to the cemetery by the tyrants.

Yuan Min said helplessly: "You were only found by not being able to check it out. See if you can find some new clues. No one is going to see you for treatment anyway, and you are still idle when you stay in the yamen."

"Are you polite?"

Wu Jun stared at him with a bad look, and then said quietly: "And can you move your feet away first? It is also very rude to step on someone else's hands when you speak."

Yuan Min was stunned for a moment, looked down and a piece of bone palm stepped on his feet. He was so scared that he shivered and moved his feet away from above in panic.

Wu Jun looked at his pale face with satisfaction, and finally felt that his thoughts were more clear. He glanced around the cemetery and said, "Didn't you find who he came here to worship?"

Yuan Min breathed a sigh of relief and said with a hint of regret: "He is in the realm of a great scholar. The people who follow him dare not approach him. Moreover, he did not bring in incense and candle tribute when he came, so there was no way to find him."

Wu Jun held his chin and said, "Can you be sure he is not in contact with someone here?"

Yuanmin nodded: "Well, our people have been here all the time. Except for an old man who lives here to watch the cemetery, no one has been here in the past few days."

Wu Jun frowned and said, "It seems that he is really here to worship, but he comes to the grave without bringing anything. Who are you here to worship..." As he said that, he walked around the cemetery.

Soon, Wu Jun stopped in front of a stele without words, looked at the tombstone carefully, and said, "This tombstone looks ordinary, but in fact it is made of Baigang Stone. The Baigang Stone is extremely strong and immortal for thousands of years. It is a rare stone for carving stone statues."

"This stone is produced in the extreme north and is extremely precious. Those who can use it as a tombstone must be either rich or noble, but there is no name left on the tombstone. The person who worships Liu Suiyun should be the owner of this stone tablet."

Yuan Min looked at Wu Jun in surprise, but he didn't expect that he had such a good study of Shi Tou. He was happy and said, "What will we do next?"

Wu Jun said: "Open the coffin and check the autopsy to see if there are any clues."

Yuan Min nodded slightly and ordered his men to find iron shovels and other tools to open the coffin.

At this moment, a stumbled figure suddenly came from a distance with a hunched back, looked at Wu Jun and the others, and immediately turned around and ran away.

Wu Jun's eyes lit up: "Stop him!"

The next moment, several winds of clothes rubbing against each other sounded, and several eunuchs flew to the man and surrounded him.

Wu Jun walked forward with a smile and said, "Old Xu, it turns out that this is the cemetery you are looking at. Finally, I found you."

Lao Xu looked at Wu Jun with a vigilant face: "What are you doing here? You definitely didn't come to visit the grave, right?"

Wu Jun smiled and said, "Old Xu, you know me. Actually, I am here to steal the body."

Lao Xu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm so scared. I thought you were here to treat my chicken again..."

Wu Jun's eyes lit up: "You raise chickens again?"

Lao Xu glared at him fiercely: "This time the chicken I raised doesn't crow at night, nor does he have heatstroke!"

Wu Jun said with dissatisfaction: "Why are you a rich man who costs ten taels of silver a month now? Why can't you even take out a chicken to entertain your old neighbor..."

Lao Xu said angrily: "That's better than treating me with medicine!"

Yuan Min next to him laughed and walked up to him and said, "It turns out that my father-in-law is an acquaintance of Brother Yanzu. Why do you need to argue about such trivial matters? Since you like to eat chicken, I will just go and order someone to buy a few." As he said that, he turned to a small eunuch in the distance and shouted, "Go and get a few chickens!"

The little eunuch responded immediately and took the order to leave.

Soon, the grave was dug up by the eunuchs, revealing a simple-shaped coffin.

Wu Jun looked at the coffin for a few glances, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "The best golden nanmu is at least a thousand years old. It is really luxurious to use it to build a coffin..."

Yuan Min nodded and said, "It seems that the identity of the tomb owner is indeed not simple. Come on, open the coffin!"

Several eunuchs went around the coffin, picked up a shovel and inserted it into the gap in the coffin, and at the same time exerted force to open the coffin board creakingly.

The next moment, a strong and strange smell overflowed, Wu Jun's face changed slightly, and he said in a lost voice: "It's poisonous!"

Everyone's faces changed color instantly and they retreated one after another.

Wu Jun stood alone and looked into the coffin.

A mummy lying peacefully in the coffin, her flesh and flesh were dark red. She was wearing a white robe. She could tell from her figure and clothing that she was a man.

After staring at the mummy for a while, Wu Jun couldn't help frowning: "This person died of poisoning. The poison belongs to fire. It evaporated the water in his body, so his body did not rot. If I read it correctly, this poison should be..."

"The Wuji Flame Pill!"

Yuan Min next to him suddenly made Wu Jun turn to look in surprise. Seeing him frowning, he looked confused.

Seeing Wu Jun's inquiring gaze, Yuan Min explained: "This poison was made by the Taoist priests in Xundanding for the sake of immortality. In total, only two were refined. After the first emperor took this pill, he died of blood on the spot and his body turned into a mummy in an instant.

Not only the First Emperor, but also the Taoist Heavenly Venerable Master who refined medicine, was also poisoned to death by this pill, so the poison was just a flash in the pan and then it was cut off."

Wu Jun was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression: "So, we dug up your grandfather's grave?"

Yuan Min twitched his cheeks and said angrily: "My emperor's grandfather is buried in the imperial tomb. I will go to worship him when I worship his ancestors in a few days."

Wu Jun looked at the corpse in the coffin with his eyes open and said, "The recipe for the Flame Pill has not been passed down. Since this person is not your emperor's grandfather, he must be the Taoist Heavenly Lord. Leave the body to me, and I'll try to restore the prescription for the Flame Pill..."

Looking at the terrifying divine light in Wu Jun's eyes, Yuan Min had goose bumps for no reason, rubbed his arms and said, "Why are you studying this thing well? Hurry up and bury it back..."

At this time, a little eunuch ran over with a flattering smile, bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have brought you the chicken you want." As he said that, he pinched an orchid finger and turned around and pointed behind him.

Yuan Min turned around and immediately saw a group of thin-dressed girls walking towards her with thin clothes waving their handkerchiefs. She couldn't help but be stunned: "???"
