Chapter 227 Guilt In order to find the dead body, Qin Ding had to muster up the courage to go into the basement. In this dark night with strange winds, he went alone into the basement of the haunted Muxi Pavilion, where someone had died in the evening! After looking around, he realized the truth - there was no dead body in the basement! So he came out of the basement. Because he had previously imagined a terrifying situation of a hand reaching out to him from behind, he turned around slowly. Only after turning around did he realize that he was actually scaring himself. At this time, he was finally not so nervous. Anyway, there was no corpse inside, so he didn't need to carry it out, and those terrible scenes were just his imagination. What he was worried about at this time was not any strange phenomena. What he needed to pay attention to now was not being discovered by others. Qin Ding blew out the candle and quietly left Muxi Pavilion. The next day, Tie Jinjue and Qin Ding appeared again in the cave where the fake "Tie Cang Secret Book" was buried. "Elder Tie, when I sneaked into Muxi Pavilion last night, Han Song's body was not in the basement of Muxi Pavilion." Qin Ding reported to Tie Jinjue. The Han Song that Qin Ding was talking about was the blue-armored man who was killed by Dong Su. Qin Ding sneaked into Muxi Pavilion at night to look for the body because Tie Jinjue arranged for him to do so. "Han Song should have been in the basement of Muxi Pavilion before. Last night I heard Dong Su telling the clan leader that he killed someone there. How come the body is not there? Could it be..." Tie Jinjue pondered.
"There are bloodstains in the basement. I think Han Song was killed in the basement of Muxi Pavilion, but the body has been moved away." Qin Ding speculated. "Did you go there at midnight?" Tie Jinjue asked. "That's right." "Could it be that someone really sent Han Song's body somewhere else before the second watch? What was the purpose of moving it away?" Tie Jinjue said as he thought. "Destroy the body and cover up all traces?" Qin Ding thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, the bloodstains should also be removed." "Oh!" Tie Jinjue sighed and closed his eyes. "Elder Tie, what did you think of?" When Tie Jinjue opened his eyes, tears welled up in his eyes: "First it was Wu Bu, then Han Song... one life after another... the blue-armored people I was familiar with left one after another..." "Elder Tie, I understand that you still feel guilty about Wu Bu's death, but to accomplish great things someone has to sacrifice. If the person who sacrificed was me, my death would also be a worthy one. Don't be too sad! Han Song's death was not caused by you, and you don't need to feel guilty. The things he did before were not discovered. The reason why he was tracked down was simply because he was a blue-armored man who ran away because he didn't want to be killed. Even if he hadn't done anything for you, he would have been killed as a target of Tie Wandao's venting. Although I also feel sorry for Han Song's death, if he didn't know you, he would have died a few days ago. Instead, it was your help that allowed his life to continue until yesterday." Qin Ding comforted. "No, Han Song's death was caused by me. If I hadn't transferred him to Muxi Pavilion the night before yesterday, he would not have been killed." Tie Jinjue said regretfully. "You transferred him to Muxi Pavilion for his own good! He suddenly fell ill the day before yesterday, and once he started coughing he couldn't stop for a long time. If you don't transfer him to Muxi Pavilion as soon as possible, a place with few people, he will be discovered due to his continuous coughing, and then he will have no choice but to die! Besides, you planned to let him stay in Muxi Pavilion temporarily in order to find a chance to send him out of Tiecangting and save his life!" (End of this chapter)
