Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 99 Speaking out
Upon hearing the official's answer, Wei Xi was surprised and replied, "So big? That's rare."

After hearing these words, Qin Feng was sure that Wei Xi had discovered something. After all, Wei Xi and the word "chat" were naturally incompatible.

Wei Xi was still playing around. "By the way, where is Magistrate Sun? We want to see him."

"Zhixian Sun is in the main house. That's where he should be staying."

Wei Xi and the other two thanked the official and said goodbye. The official who said he was leaving slowly turned around and went back into the evidence.

"What's going on? What did you think of?" After turning to a deserted place, Lian Gouqi asked hurriedly.

Wei Xi leaned against the courtyard wall, cold sweat oozing from her forehead. Qin Feng hurried to help her.

"Let's not do this anymore. Your injury hasn't healed fully yet. You should take good care of yourself." Qin Feng looked at Wei Xi worriedly. This time, Wei Xi injured her ribs, which would hurt when she walked. It was hard for her to endure the pain in front of others.

"No," Wei Xi recovered and handed her the crutches he was leaning on. "There are still some things that are unclear here."

"Could Sun Ji know about this?" Lian Gouqi asked.

Wei Xi rolled his eyes. "What the hell does he know? Use him to cover your tracks."

Sun Ji was also a victim of Cheng County Magistrate, but Wei Xi had only met him once, and it was purely because they were tied to the same boat. Why would she go to visit him? Moreover, Sun Ji had always been under Cheng County Magistrate's control, and the little he knew had been completely squeezed out by Wei Xi.

Wei Xiti said he was just trying to confuse Zhuang Yi. "It would be best if we could find Xu Xiangfang's remains, but at worst, we can't let Zhuang Yi get away with it."

Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie both knew that Wei Xi was venting his anger.

But Wei Xi's worries went far beyond that: Wei Xi was knocked unconscious and thrown into the warehouse, and the fire in the county government warehouse was set by her in order to escape.

If it weren't for Zhuang Yi's anger, the lazy Wei Xi would never have cared about the affairs of Tangkou Town.

Unfortunately, Wei Xi was not only angered by Zhuang Yi, but was also plotted against by someone hiding in the dark.

If this matter is not resolved, Wei Xi will feel choked and restless.

Now that the pain had subsided, she said to Qin Feng and Lian Gouyue, "We've already searched the backyard, but why hasn't anyone mentioned the white cloth hanging everywhere?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie suddenly remembered those strange things in the backyard. The three of them had nearly been captured because of those hanging white cloths. Those things looked so strange, and the county government wasn't a cloth shop. Why hadn't the officials mentioned this? Could it be that Wei Xi had burned them all?

"Flammables" Wei Xi had something else to say, "Besides, that rain is really strange now that I think about it. Before the rain, I set the fire, and after the rain, County Magistrate Cheng abandoned the county government office, which had just caught fire, and ran to the Huan River."

"County Magistrate Cheng was at the banquet the entire time. How did he know to check the bodies?"

"I was with County Magistrate Cheng the entire time," Lian Goujie said. "He was in a normal mood during the banquet, and he didn't react at all after Qin Feng excused himself to leave. Even when the warehouse caught fire, he was initially surprised, but then he calmed down and directed his men to put out the fire."

Lian Gouqie carefully recalled the details of that night, "Wei Xi, if you say so, County Magistrate Cheng's abnormality came with the rain. His face was gloomy and his words became aggressive."

"What does this guy mean?" Qin Feng thought of County Magistrate Cheng, a man full of evil, and felt unlucky. "Is he angry about the timely rain? Maybe the rain is on his mind?"

The three of them had acted separately at the time, and with subsequent events, they hadn't gathered to discuss what happened during the dinner. Now, piecing together their perspectives, the inconsistencies of that night became apparent. Wei Xi pulled out her piece of the puzzle. "I met County Magistrate Cheng after the fire was out. He was leading his men in a hurry, right after Qin Feng told me you were being kept overnight!"

"So, the rain was a signal?" Qin Feng guessed. She looked at Wei Xi and Lian Gouwei, trying to get confirmation.

Although Wei Xi didn't know how magical Xu Xiangfang's bones were, they could not only combine the root bones and the qi palace into one, but also swallow and produce gold after death, and even summon wind and rain to bravely put out fires. But there was one thing Wei Xi could be sure of, that Qin Feng was right.

"You have a point," said Lian Gou-yu. He was no fool. "Now I want to see what this bone is all about. Wei Xi, have you seen that bone?"

Wei Xi shook her head slightly. She didn't dare to go into the water at that time. Besides, it was so exciting to look at the gold under the moon. She never thought that there was a corpse hidden in the mud at the bottom of the river.

"Go find Sun Ji, he has seen the bones." Wei Xi's mind worked quickly. At first she just wanted to throw a smoke bomb, but she didn't expect Sun Ji to be of some use.

Even when passing by the backyard, you can take a look at the white cloth. Now you don’t have to go through the hook and the three of you can walk freely!

The path was straight and square, but all the draping white cloths in the backyard were gone.

"How is this possible?" Lian Gouqie asked in surprise. Because of Ruhua, he was very concerned about the white cloth in the backyard at that time.

Wei Xi looked at the backyard that had lost its white cloth cover, revealing its original layout and appearance, and thought to himself: The amount of white cloth is not small, and it is quite strange in itself. Who can get rid of all the white cloth in a short time?

Wei Xi now suspects Zhuang Yi. His men were responsible for searching the backyard, and it was his men who rescued Sun Ji. It is simply nonsense to say that they did not encounter the white cloth in the backyard.

Not only that, Zhuang Yi is also a cultivator with considerable cultivation. He can easily resolve Qin Feng's attack. If it is really him, Wei Xi believes that the vast Mo Zangben in Bailu Pavilion must have a spell to pack up and take away.

Zhuang Yi learned from the Ding Xin Sect. Whatever the Qingcheng Sect could learn, the Ding Xin Sect could naturally learn as well.

Without the cover, the main house was easy to find, and the three of them found the former nest with ease.

Perhaps there were not enough people, so there were only two soldiers from the government office at the door of the main house. Looking at these two people, Wei Xi thought of the two people in the inn who had been fooled by him.

Zhuang Yi would investigate, thinking that he had only been trying to scare them at the beginning. These two were obviously minions, and whatever they found out would probably not be fatal. He would punish them to teach them a lesson, and even if they could save their lives, it would be considered as a reward for helping her.

Wei Xi was thinking in his mind as he walked into the yard.

Sun Ji sat on the wooden couch in the yard, basking in the sun with his eyes half closed.

Hearing someone coming, Sun Ji glanced at them, then opened his eyes and said, "Hello, Masters. Is there anything I can do for you? I can't get up to greet you because of my inconvenience!"

When Qin Feng met Sun Ji for the first time, he was similar to the civil servants in her impression, except that he was more indifferent in his demeanor, unlike those people in Jucheng who were mostly chasing after power.

Wei Xi had dealt with Sun Ji before and naturally knew that he was a smart man. He said bluntly, "The magistrate's escape from danger this time is only a temporary respite."

　Wei Xi's laziness doesn't conflict with her alertness; the former is her personality, the latter her instinct. Rather, her laziness reflects her lack of interest in worldly affairs. If she hadn't been so unlucky in her youth, her old age would likely have been like this: "My body is lost in a drunken dream, and my life is buried in the dust."
