Ou Mucen felt guilty and regretful in his heart. After seeing that man go to find the female corpse, he managed to return to the tomb.
He planned that while the man outside was looking for the female corpse, he would search the Taoist for anything related to taking the female corpse out.
Back in the tomb, he went to the Taoist's grave and noted that due to Lin Yebai's earlier search, the surroundings were in disarray, except for the crossed hands which seemed untouched.
So, he bent down and reached out to clean off the thick accumulation of dust from the palms.
He was bold, surprisingly unafraid of the Taoist despite the unfamiliarity of the surroundings. Approaching him seemed instinctive.
After clearing the dust from the palms, unexpectedly, he found a small square box.
The box was exquisitely crafted, resembling jade with an agate color, adorned with beautiful jade patterns—like the boxes in modern high-end jewelry stores for holding ornaments.
What is this?
