Mowenjie and Qing Xia continued to advance, they walked during the day and stayed at night, like this passed a month.
He arrived at the intersection of Sichuan and Xinjiang provinces, where the scenery in Yuanshi was beautiful, with mountains and clear waters.
Qing Xia exclaimed in admiration, "Let's find a cave here to practice, the environment is good, and the spiritual energy is thick. This is really a good place for cultivation."
Mowenjie shook his head at this, "We are traveling through the clouds here. We can come back here to practice at night. However, to carve out a cave here, I really haven't thought about it."
Qing Xia giggled, "Oh, well, why not think about it now? Although the density of spiritual energy here is no match for Kunlun, in the secular world, it's still a place that is absolutely rare."
Mowenjie nodded, "This place is indeed suitable for cultivation, but we cannot stay here for too long."
Qing Xia looked at Mowenjie, "You have a place with high spiritual energy density, so you don't care about these. But when it comes to us cultivating, having a place like this must go through fierce competition."
Mowenjie smiled and waved his hand, "Even when I didn't go to Kunlun, I was still in the secular world. I practiced on the mountainside by myself, and the density of spiritual energy here was far inferior to this place, yet I still improved much faster than the average person."
Qing Xia pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at him, "Like you such a monster, just one you, compared to others, is just to want to kill people."
Mowenjie smiled and shook his head, "Where do you get such an exaggerated idea? I'm the same as everyone else; I have nothing special."
Qing Xia really wanted to bite him a few times. You pervert, not modest, but just annoying.
Mowenjie could only give up. Well, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
Qing Xia finally stopped arguing with him. You admitted your mistake with a good attitude, so I have forgiven you, my lady.
Mowenjie could only obediently comply, thanking the old Qing.
Qing Xia was about to argue with him immediately. Mowenjie, you scoundrel, who are you calling old? Don't you see how young I look?
Mowenjie smiled and said, "My appearance may not be old, but my actual age..."
Qing Xia was so angry and embarrassed that she reached out to twist him in the waist. If you can't speak, just shut up. If you can't talk, just leave. I'm such a beautiful girl, loved by everyone and admired by flowers.
Mowenjie shook his head upon hearing this. "Everyone loves you, that's just attracting bees and butterflies. Tell me, how many troubles have you caused me? I really haven't seen any flowers blooming for me."
Qing Xia was so angry that she chased him. The two of them bicker and tease each other like this, which really makes people envious.
Mowenjie waved his hand and stopped the teasing. "Let's go to the gorge and have a look around. Maybe we'll find something valuable."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the bottom of the valley.
Mowenjie let go of his consciousness to explore the surroundings. There was a cave on the hillside, and there were about 10 skeletons inside. According to the situation, these people should have died about 10 years ago. This has really made Mowenjie's head big, encountering such a situation must act, but what happened 10 years ago, it is not easy to find out, it seems that it is a tough problem again. First go to the cave to see.
Mowenjie led Qing Xia to the cave entrance. The entrance of the cave was blocked by rocks, and it was really difficult to find if one didn't look carefully. Mowenjie waved his hand, and a large pile of rocks fell. The two of them came into the cave.
Qing Xia looked at the ten or so skeletons. The time of death for these people should be very long ago, and it would be difficult to investigate. What should we do?
Mowenjie looked at the skeletons on the ground, "Let's see if there are any other valuable clues. Since they died so long ago, finding useful clues will be the key to uncovering the truth."
Qing Xia looked around the ground and did not find anything valuable.
Mowenjie pondered deeply, "Let's see if there are any other valuable clues. Since they died so long ago, finding useful clues will be the key to uncovering the truth."
Qing Xia watched Mowenjie for a long time without speaking. She remained silent, just watching Mowenjie intently.
Mowenjie thought for a moment, and he continued to observe the skeletons. Suddenly, he noticed a fracture in the breastbone of one of the skeletons. Although it had healed, the previous injury was still visible. He wondered what kind of people these were, where they were from, and why they would be killed so quietly here by someone without leaving any traces of a fight. This left him with no clues to follow up on.
What should he do now? Should he leave it alone and not worry about it, or would that mess up his character and stability of the Dao? No matter what, he must investigate further. It would take a lot of time, but it had to be done.
Thinking of this, Mowenjie called his third senior brother and asked him to send the information about missing persons from ten years ago in Yuanshi to his phone.
The information about the missing persons from ten years ago in Yuanshi was quickly sent to his phone.
Mowenjie opened the message and carefully checked the information about the missing persons from ten years ago in Yuanshi. He did not find any useful clues until the end. He fell into deep thought again. The people who died here were not from Yuanshi, but from other places? That would make things even more complicated and increase the difficulty of investigation. What should he do now? There were no personal belongings left, so he couldn't use tracking magic. It was impossible to determine where they were from. How could he solve this case?
Mowenjie was growing increasingly frustrated. He had magic abilities, but there was no place to use them, and he could only watch helplessly. You could say that it was quite aggravating, leaving Mowenjie at a loss for what to do.
Qing Xia looked at Mowenjie and said, "Don't think too hard, the more you think the less clear it gets. It's better to go outside and change your mood. Just staring like this won't solve the problem, and it will make your hair turn white. I will feel sorry for you."
The two of them left the cave, and Mowenjie suddenly remembered, "We could ask around here and see if the mountain villagers nearby can provide some clues."
Mowenjie took Qing Xia to inquire about the cave situation from the homes of the local mountain villagers nearby.
The villagers gave the same basic answer: that the cave had nothing in it, and that climbing up the mountain for medicinal herbs or mountain fruits wasn't a must-go path, so over time, no one went there anymore. Therefore, whatever happened in that cave wouldn't matter to anyone.
Mowenjie nodded and smiled at them, "Thank you!" Then he led Qing Xia away. As they walked, he was thinking that there was no way to identify the identities of these people, so there was no starting point. Now, what they needed to do was first find out the identities of these people. Their ages were all between 22 and 25, which could only be speculated as colleagues or university students. If it were family members, it would be impossible to have such young people involved. It was very likely that the murderer had brought these people here for a spring outing or similar event and then killed them. According to the scene, the perpetrator was definitely a mastermind.
Qing Xia asked a question, "If you were ordered to kill these people and they went undiscovered for so long, what would you do? You are also a highly intelligent person, and you may have thought of what he did."
Mowenjie looked at Qing Xia with a smile, "You're thinking about this too simply. It couldn't be me, and I certainly couldn't be him. So our thinking styles can't be the same."
Qing Xia giggled, "Then tell me, what would you do if it were you?"
If it were me, I would use Manjushri to knock them out and then use some means to suffocate them, leaving no aftereffects. Suffocating someone without being discovered is achieved by using Xuanzhi, which is dipped in water and layered over the mouth and nose. It won't take half an hour for the person to suffocate. Xuanzhi becomes extremely brittle when it dries after being wet. The slightest gust of wind can shred it into paper flakes.
Qing Xia looked at Mowenjie in horror after hearing this. It's really terrifying, and it's so scary!
Mowenjie waved his hand, "It's not as terrifying as you think. This is just normal knowledge that a general medical student can learn. Moreover, the anesthetic is extracted from the Manjushri flower, and adding a little something can make people permanently unconscious."
Qing Xia took a moment to understand, "So, could the murderer be a doctor or an anesthetist? We can investigate in this direction."
Mowenjie nodded, "This is also a direction. If there are no clues, we can only look for new clues."
Mowenjie called his elder brother Tang Baichuan for help, requesting assistance in finding the missing population from the Dragon Nation Hospital ten years ago.
Tang Baichuan reluctantly agreed, "Elder brother-in-arms, the information you need is too vast. I really can't give you an answer in a short time. I'll send it to you once I've collected all the information."
Mowenjie smiled and answered, "Brother Tang, don't worry. You can take your time to collect the information. I'm not in a rush right now. Just wait for you to send it to me when you have everything. Goodbye, brother!"
Qing Xia looked at Mowenjie and said, "You have quite a few elder brothers, all of them are formidable figures. How come you've become the elder brother-in-law of the master?"
Mowenjie helplessly shook his head. "I'm not trying to become the master either. But since each of my elder brothers is quite old and holds important positions, if they don't want to be the master, and I'm the only junior apprentice, then who else would take on the role?"
Qing Xia giggled, "Wenjie, you are about to undergo a transformation and ascend to become a celestial being. Have you found the successor your brother asked you to find?"
Mowenjie smiled, "Although I'm not certain, there are also suitable candidates. As long as I finish my tour this time and go to see his character again, if his subordinates give me the answers I want, he will be the president of Yulong door."
Qing Xia looked at Mowenjie and said, "You're pretty cunning, aren't you? Making his subordinates judge his character is indeed a good method."
Mowenjie smiled, "That's also a way out of nowhere."
Qing Xia pulled Mowenjie's arm and said, "Come with me and go shopping. We've been in the mountains for so long. Today is a rare opportunity to get down from the mountain. Accompany me on my shopping trip."
Mowenjie rubbed the back of his head, "I get a headache just thinking about going shopping with you! Whenever you go out, trouble is sure to follow!"
Qing Xia giggled, "Can it be my fault? They saw you and got the wrong idea. It's none of my business. Just leave me alone, and I haven't asked you to do anything."
Mowenjie felt his anger rising when he heard this, "Was I supposed to do that? They stepped on me first, and they won't feel satisfied until they've crushed me. They can't show off in front of you; I was just innocently involved."
Qing Xia saw Mowenjie's awkward expression and laughed repeatedly, "Oh, you're really a beauty that can captivate the hearts of men! So beautiful and charming, spending a night with such a beautiful woman would be worth a decade of life reduced. No complaints or regrets!"
Mowenjie cover his forehead and said, "That's terrible! You make people go wrong and lead them to commit crimes! Just think about the consequences!"
Qing Xia didn't care about so much, she hugged Mowenjie's arm and rushed into the crowd.
Instantly, the crowd erupted in a commotion. The woman is too beautiful, too charming; she must be a celestial descending to earth?
Beautiful lady, let me treat you to dinner.
Beautiful lady, I will buy you pretty clothes.
Beautiful lady, what do you want? I will satisfy you if you just ask.
Beautiful lady, this is our younger brother. How can a younger brother buy you things?
Mowenjie looked at the men trying to make a move on Qing Xia, "You want to pursue me and it has nothing to do with me. Don't try to take advantage of me here."
Sorry, I thought you were the younger brother of the beautiful woman. Oh, I see, you're actually the elder brother-in-law!
Mowenjie was so angry he could spit blood. What kind of logic is this? With such an IQ, it's estimated that he won't have a chance to be Xu Yan!
Qing Xia giggled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, he is my man, not my brother or my younger brother."
Her words caused a sudden "crack, crack, crack" of shattered hearts. "My heart can't take this. Whoever can chase this little guy away will get ten million yuan."
Mowenjie heard this and immediately called out, "Wait a minute!"
