In Yang Xiao's memory, among all the statues in the temple, there was only one armored general, which coincidentally was the likeness of Zhang Songde.
This matched up.
No wonder the bodies of Zhang Songde and his three companions couldn't be found; it turns out they were secretly transported away by the people of the Earl Mansion and stuffed into the statues as an Internal Filling.
Thinking of the eight other Land Temples, Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel a chill, guessing that each statue must be hiding a body.
Yet there was something he couldn't understand. According to Fang Zhou Lou Huixiang, Zhang Songde was dragged into the well by a ghost, meaning his body was taken by a ghost. But if that was so, how did the people of the Earl Mansion obtain the body? Could it be… the people of the Earl Mansion could make transactions with ghosts?
