Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 101: A Flash of Inspiration (Update )
Sun Ji had a clue but it was cut off. The three of them came out of him feeling a little discouraged.

To be precise, Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie were discouraged, and Wei Xi wilted because she was in great pain.

"How about we go to the courtyard where Sun Ji is imprisoned and take a look?" Lian Gouyu realized more quickly than Wei Xi that Qin Feng was talking about stealing the credit. He didn't know anything else, but he was short of money, so he was quite proactive. "If Lord Sun is still confused and his bones are still in that room, then our efforts won't be in vain."

Qin Feng wanted Wei Xi to go and have a rest, but Wei Xi looked at her pitifully and promised that the heavy work of moving and finding things would be done by Lian Gou Xie.

Lian Gouyu: Sorry, the wind is too strong and I can't hear what you said.
He went to the courtyard where Sun Ji was imprisoned before. This time there was no guard guarding the door, so Qin Feng kicked the door open.

The room was empty, even more eerie than before.

Lian Gouqie resigned himself to his fate and lifted up his Taoist robe, revealing his pink panties, and began to search for Xu Xiangfang's magical bones.

Qin Feng turned his eyes away. Wei Xi, in order to distract himself from the pain, grumbled, "You're dressed quite charmingly!"

Lian Gou, who had crawled under the bed, said angrily, "If I had known I would be doing this job today, I wouldn't have worn this. I like this one the most!"

Wei Xi was leaning on a crutch. When she heard Lian Gouwei say that, she was still planning to help. Qin Feng glared at her, and Wei Xi could only stand aside obediently.

In the end, Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie worked together to turn the house upside down.

Of course they didn't find it. Not only that, Qin Feng and Lian Gou Xie were both covered in dust and dirt. They didn't look like cultivators, but more like two cats that had just crawled out of a stove.

After all this trouble, the three of them returned empty-handed.

Lian Gou Xie felt sorry for his pants and rushed back to his guest room to wash them. Wei Xi and Qin Feng ate a few bites of food and went back to their rooms to rest.

Wei Xi was still awake in the middle of the night. She went over in her mind what had happened in Laitangkou Town. The faces of County Magistrate Cheng, Doctor Sun, Sun Ji, and the old official flashed through her mind one by one. She thought and thought but could not figure out where the bones had gone.

Today, Wei Xi heard from his subordinates that the government had already apprehended the suspects and brought them back to the county yamen, where they were temporarily detained. County Magistrate Cheng had been operating in Tangkou Town for years, using bribes of gold and threats of punishment to maintain a tight grip on the town. Naturally, the prison had been reinforced and renovated, making it possible to hold a few mortals.

Wei Xi had originally wanted to get the bone and use the tracking technique to see if he could find the rest. While this method might not be effective, it was a good starting point. Besides, even if he couldn't find it, he still had the bone in his hand, so even if Zhuang Yi did find the rest, Wei Xi could still make things difficult for him.

For example, she could cast a spell on the piece of bone, so that when Zhuang Yi put the bones together, all the bones would be tainted with a strange smell.

Now these wonderful ideas have been aborted because of the disappearance of the broken bone.

Wei Xi guessed that the person who took the piece of bone from Lord Sun's hand might be the one who took away Xu Xiangfang's body from the bottom of the Huan River.

After all, where do so many people in Tangkou Town come from who are interested in the bones at the bottom of the river?

If this is true, Wei Xi touched Lingyin who was sleeping soundly and thought that this person was bold, careful and calm in doing things.

These words were not empty talk. Considering what Sun Ji had said today, County Magistrate Cheng, upon seeing the heavy rain, knew someone had disturbed Xu Xiangfang's body and soon rushed to the river to investigate. In that short time, he was able to check the body for completeness, notice any missing parts, and quickly find a way to find the bones in Sun Ji's hand.

It was very difficult to deal with. Suddenly Wei Xi thought that Sun Ji was moved to the tunnel after the fire started, and he would be sent back to the courtyard soon after the fire was put out. If it started to rain and someone moved the corpse at the bottom of the Huan River, that person would not have enough time!

Unless, Wei Xi suddenly sat up from the bed, and the pain in her ribs made her fall back onto the bed silently.

The person who took away Xu Xiangfang's body was a monk!
Only a monk could obtain the corpse in such a short time, and only a monk could take away the broken bones hidden by Sun Ji without anyone noticing.

This also gave him a reason to take Xu Xiangfang's corpse. Compared to the centuries-old veterans of the immortal cultivation world, Wei Xi was a relative newcomer. But Wei Xi knew that some cultivators specialized in what the world considered deviant practices. Xu Xiangfang's corpse was truly one of a kind, and the various strange phenomena in Tangkou Town were all connected to it. Perhaps there was indeed a cultivator who needed such a corpse for cultivation.

Thanks to Master Han's rote learning and Xie Yingying's careful instruction, Wei Xi finally knew some basic knowledge about cultivating immortals.

Wei Xi was a little excited after figuring this out. She was a little curious about what this unknown monk was going to do with Xu Xiangfang's body.
What’s more interesting is, where is this monk now?

Wei Xi thought that he would drag Qin Feng and the others to the place where the bodies of the Hu people were placed tomorrow to see if he could find any clues related to the unknown monk.

After all, these Hu people were quite close to County Magistrate Cheng. Although there were some unpleasant things later, some died and some went crazy, there were still good times of "deep love" where you lied to me and I lied to you.

Besides, Tangkou Town wasn't exactly well-connected, so how did the monks know about the corpses at the bottom of the Huan River? Perhaps it was these barbarians who leaked the news of the gold in Tangkou Town. After all, even Gou Xie could hear their secret conversations while using the restroom. Their sense of secrecy was truly poor.

The next morning, Wei Xi woke Lian Gou-ye up early because Qin Feng was already meditating in the yard when Wei Xi got up.

Lian Gouyu came out yawning and rubbing his eyes. Seeing Qin Feng meditating there, he said, "There's not much spiritual energy here. Why are you meditating?"

Lian Gouqie naturally didn't expect Qin Feng, the King of Scrolls, to answer when he asked this question. He pointed the finger directly at Wei Xi, who had disturbed his sweet dreams. "Ancestor, how dare you trouble me to wake you up?"

Wei Xi ignored Lian Gou's irrelevant and sarcastic remarks and turned to Qin Feng and said, "Hurry up and eat. We will go and look for the Hu people's corpse later."

Qin Feng agreed without a second thought. Lian Gouqie, who had just regained consciousness, raised his arm and asked, "What's going on? Are you looking for bad luck so early in the morning?"

"Looking for clues," Wei Xi retorted, "otherwise I'll just sleep until noon."

Someone brought over breakfast, which was porridge made by the county government kitchen, a plate of steamed buns and a few side dishes. The taste was average, not as good as that made by Zhao Dazui.

While eating, Wei Xi dropped his own bombshell news at the table - the person who took the corpse was a monk.

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Feng put down his chopsticks, and Lian Gou Xie almost spit out the porridge in his mouth.

Wei Xi told the two of them his guess, which was well-reasoned and could explain the current situation. Qin Feng and Lian Gouwei had no choice but to accept Wei Xi's guess.

"If that's the case, we can only go to the Hu people and see. After all, County Magistrate Cheng is already crazy." Qin Feng picked up his chopsticks to eat again.

Wei Xi picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Lian Gouyu. Facing his frightened eyes, he said, "Eat more. There's work waiting for you later!"
