Since Ren Wei was Ren Jiating's friend, he didn't deliberately mock her.
However, given his personality—he's rather carefree and irresponsible—his tone still revealed a hint of distrust.
"Don't underestimate me!"
Feeling underestimated, Li Muxuan dragged Lu Jin to the grave that had been dug up and carefully examined the violently opened coffin, but couldn't see anything.
After all, the Trinity Sect has never taught them any case-solving skills.
What should we do now?
Li Muxuan nudged Lu Jin's shoulder, looking somewhat anxious.
How would I know?
Lu Jin was utterly speechless.
"Aren't you from the Lu family?"
"Is there any direct causal logic between me being from the Lu family and whether I can solve cases?" Lu Jin rolled her eyes, but at this point she could only bite the bullet and go to check the scene.
Otherwise, it would be a minor matter if Li Muxuan lost face; the real problem would be if Ren Wei also considered the Sanyi Sect to be a bunch of charlatans.
That would be incredibly embarrassing!
As Lu Jin jumped into the grave, he noticed many footprints on the ground and saw that the coffin was badly damaged, as if it had been moved by many people. Just as he was wondering if this was the work of multiple people, he looked up and saw that Ren Wei and the nearby soldiers had the same black mud on their shoes and trousers as in the grave.
Their cuffs and clothes were covered in mud and ash from the coffin lids, and many of their pockets were bulging, especially Ren Wei, who had a pearl hanging from his pocket.
This caused Lu Jin's face to darken instantly.
Even though he was young and had no prior experience in handling cases, he understood the importance of protecting the crime scene.
Upon arriving at the scene, this group immediately jumped into the grave, moved the coffin, and even put the valuables left inside into their own pockets...
Are you here to handle a case?
They're clearly here to snag a bargain!
"Young man, have you figured it out?" Ren Wei squatted down and asked Lu Jin with a smile as Lu Jin looked up.
"I can see that. The crime scene was disturbed twice, and the valuables in the coffin were taken." Lu Jin took a deep breath to calm herself before saying quietly, "And the thief was you!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Ren Wei immediately rebuked, "I, Ren Wei, have always been upright and honest. Would I dig up a grave for some burial goods?"
"Then what's with the pearls hanging from your pocket?"
Li Muxuan waved his hand and used the "Reversal of Eight Directions" technique to take out the pearl and some gold and silver jewelry that were attached to it.
"Holy crap! This is unbelievable!"
Ren Wei hurriedly reached out to grab it, but he couldn't react in time and his ankles were bound by Li Muxuan's magnetic field.
One pull.
Snapped!
He slipped and fell into the grave pit, landing face-first in the mud.
This time.
Lu Jin did not offer any assistance.
After all, Ren Wei really deserves to be taught a lesson!
"Captain! Are you alright?"
The nearby soldiers immediately surrounded them.
Lu Jin and Li Muxuan seized the opportunity to leap upwards, easily jumping out of the nearly two-meter-high burial pit, leaving the nearby soldiers stunned.
After getting up, Ren Wei immediately realized what had happened during those two days of "ghostly encounters"—
Those two bastards did this!
But after witnessing the extraordinary abilities of the strange man, Ren Wei was also a little frightened. He pushed away the people who came down to help him and had the people still standing at the edge of the grave pull him up. He then solemnly explained to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, "I was just confiscating stolen goods!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
Lu Jin was too lazy to waste any more words with him and said to Ren Jiating, "The Trinity Sect's skills are not used in this kind of place. Moreover, the scene was already destroyed before we arrived. It is impossible to find any clues. We can only wait for the person behind the scenes to come out on their own."
Li Muxuan also realized what was going on and replied, "Since the other party only stole the corpse and didn't want any money, they probably wanted to refine the corpse."
"We still need to investigate more thoroughly."
This matter might be related to the feng shui master, or even to her father's life, but Ren Jiating didn't want to go back just like that.
"Jia Ting, you also have the ability to track down clues?"
Li Muxuan was puzzled.
“I don’t have it, but it does.”
Ren Jiating pouted and took out a paper monkey from the handbag hanging at her waist.
"This thing can be used for tracking?"
A look of doubt appeared on Lu Jin's face. "How did you do that? You just attached your Qi and a part of your intention to it, right?"
"Perhaps it's the effect of that claw-shaped symbol."
Ren Jiating herself does not have tracking abilities, but the innate talisman has corresponding abilities!
Shifting stars and changing constellations: Understanding changes, recognizing the timing of events, and knowing the advantages of the terrain.
To avoid death and prolong life: one must understand yin and yang, be knowledgeable about human affairs, and be adept at coming and going.
The universe is manipulated: the sun and moon are grasped, mountains are shrunk, and fortune and misfortune are discerned.
All things are clear: one is good at listening, able to discern principles, and know the past and the future.
This innate talisman has these four abilities. Ren Jiating does not understand the true nature of it. She only uses the innate talisman to fold it into a paper monkey. However, she can still use the effect of this talisman to identify and determine the approximate location of the perpetrator based on the current clues.
# Chapter 90 The Paper Monkey Scouts the Way
As soon as Ren Jiating put down the paper monkey, it seemed to come alive and jumped into the grave pit under the curious gazes of Ren Wei and the soldiers he brought.
Because the grave pit was filled with the presence of many people, Ren Jiating, whose spirit was attached to the paper monkey, frowned.
The innate talisman has the ability to "understand all things".
However, Ren Jiating ultimately failed to truly depict this talisman on her hand bones and claws, thus missing its true meaning. Instead, she used it on the paper monkey's appearance, resulting in extremely poor effects.
In addition, this grave pit had been visited by Ren Wei and his men before, so the atmosphere was complicated and it would take some time to analyze it.
After noting down the various human scents in this grave, Ren Jiating then controlled the little monkey to go to other graves, trying to eliminate the human scents of those present by feeling, thereby identifying the scents of those who were not present, and then controlling the little monkey to track them down.
That's how it is.
An hour has passed.
After careful observation, Ren Jiating identified more than ten kinds of human scents that were not present among the people present. She said to Ren Wei, "Cousin, bring here the people who discovered the grave was robbed and the people who came to this place. I need to eliminate them one by one."
"it is good!"
Ren Wei immediately ordered his men to summon all the people in the town whose graves had been robbed.
Ren Jiating, carrying the paper monkey, walked past them, expelling their auras one by one, and then told Ren Wei to let them go back.
After everyone had left the graveyard, Ren Jiating put down the paper monkey again and said, "Cousin, there is only one unconfirmed scent right now."
The paper monkey also ran towards the nearby woods.
"It must have been that person with the unknown scent who dug up the grave and stole the corpse!" Ren Wei was certain, and immediately ordered his men to follow him and chase after the paper monkey.
Ren Jiating, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan followed suit.
"Sister Jia Ting, can your little monkey really smell human scent?" Li Muxuan asked in a low voice as he ran, as if he also wanted to learn about this innate talisman diagram.
It's not that the Reverse Life Triple Rebirth is bad, nor that the Reversal of Eight Directions is inferior; rather, he considers himself to be in a competitive relationship with Jiang Liu, and to surpass him, he naturally needs to have equal basic conditions.
Judging from the ability of this paper monkey to track others, he seriously suspected that Jiang Liu was concealing other abilities of this claw-shaped innate talisman!
"It's not a real human scent or aroma, but rather something like an atmosphere."
Ren Jiating shook her head. "I can't explain it in detail. It's like when a low-level cultivator looks at a high-level cultivator, especially when the high-level cultivator is circulating their Qi, they will feel a kind of oppressive atmosphere. That's the kind of atmosphere I can feel."
However, regardless of whether they possess high cultivation, low cultivation, or no cultivation at all, I can sense them all through this paper monkey.
Speaking of the atmosphere, Li Muxuan suddenly realized.
Back in the woods near the town of Sanyimen, he first felt the pressure that Zuo Ruotong brought when she was angry. It felt as if her whole being was twisted.
"By the way, can I learn this innate rune diagram?"
Li Muxuan asked the question.
"Li Muxuan!"
Lu Jin gently scolded, "Don't push your luck!"
"fine."
Ren Jiating didn't seem to care that much.
"After all, it was through Brother Jiang's cultivation of this thing that I learned that this thing is an innate talisman diagram, and this is not something that Jiyun Society can do."
The skills of the Jiyun Society, such as her paper doll magic trick, must never be taught to others without the consent of the Jiyun Society leader.
But whether or not she can create this innate rune diagram is up to her own decision.
"I don't really understand the cultivation of talismans. I was quite surprised by Brother Jiang's ability to draw the shape on his palm bone with Qi after seeing the image."
Even now, Ren Jiating is still shocked when she thinks about it.
Even though he didn't know how to draw talismans, he did know that for Taoist talismans to be effective, they only needed to be copied from the original. He had to do preparatory work such as fasting and bathing, preparing all the tools, burning incense and worshipping the gods, and concentrating his mind. Moreover, during the process of drawing talismans, he had to silently recite incantations to assist him, and he even had to choose a specific place and time to ensure that the drawn talisman was effective.
But Jiang Liu imitated the painting, and that's how he ended up with—
This is simply inhuman!
There are only two possibilities in this situation.
