Chapter 329 - 330: Cries of a Woman on the Mountain, Like the Wailing of a Ghost
In this world, only Gu Lanzi knew where the tomb was.
So, during the Lantern Festival, they followed Gu Lanzi up the mountain, insulted her, and forced her to reveal the location of the tomb.
At that time, Gu Lanzi claimed she did not know where the tomb was, but they didn’t believe her, thinking she wanted to hoard the treasure for herself, so they tormented her even more brutally.
Eventually, unable to endure the humiliation, Gu Lanzi bit her tongue and killed herself.
Thinking she was dead, they buried her next to Ah Niu’s grave and told the townspeople that while paying respects to the Princess of marriage on the mountain, they discovered Gu Lanzi had died by smashing into Ah Niu’s tombstone, so they buried her simply.
The townspeople believed them because they were all reputable figures; no one doubted them.
After Gu Lanzi died, they didn’t feel afraid but grew greedier, eagerly seeking the treasure and the Bead.
Thus, they frequently went up Princess Mountain, hoping to find the princess’s tomb.
However, before long, they heard from Old Man Qiao that there seemed to be a woman’s crying on the mountain every day, like the wails of a ghost.
They didn’t believe it until one time when they went up and indeed heard a woman crying.
They recognized it then—it was Gu Lanzi’s voice.
