Rainbow Moon Seeking Immortality

The moonlight is like water, and everything is silent.

Tie Xueleng watched Fang Yuan go away with interest, until he disappeared around the corner, and then Fang Kankan withdrew his sight.

"Father, you seem to be very interested in this Fang Yuan?" Tie Ruonan frowned slightly.

Tie Xueleng couldn't deny it and said, "Indeed, when he introduced the village to us just now, his words were very measured and clear..."

Hearing this, Tie Ruonan suddenly took a breath of cold air and felt relieved.

"That's right! I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it carefully, it's really purely from the perspective of a bystander, without any subjective feelings. It's hard to grasp... It's very clean!"

Tie Xue Leng nodded, then shook his head, "Everyone has feelings, and no one is exempt. He just hides his feelings very well. There is a devilish nature in this young man!"

Demonic nature?

"You might as well think back to your frankness at the wine table before, where you confessed that you were timid and weak. Would anyone else have done this?"

"No, for a Gu Master, honor is even more important than life. Very few people would... ugh!"

As he spoke, Tie Ruonan choked with sobs, as if something had been forcibly interrupted and he couldn't spit it out.

"Those people are all outstanding!"

"But it's a pity! Although this young man is somewhat interesting, he is only a C-level and cannot become a great person..."

…

next day

Tie Ruonan was shocked to the extreme when he was told that Jia Jinsheng's murderer had been killed.

"Yes, this demon cultivator Fu Zhu was very close to the time when Jia Jinsheng had an accident. He was later killed by our clan's resident Gu Master. Who else could he be?" said an elder.

"Did that person personally admit it? Did he admit that he killed Jia Jinsheng?" Tie Ruonan asked repeatedly.

The elder was speechless.

"You can't make rash assertions just because the time point is close. These are all your speculations and there is no evidence at all!" Tie Ruonan looked livid and serious.

"I want to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy!"

The simple and dilapidated coffin was opened, revealing a skeleton inside.

Tie Ruonan was not afraid of the rotten smell and squatted down to observe, reaching out to explore with great interest.

The body died in a tragic state. The spine at the neck was cut off at the waist, the head rolled off to a corner, the skin and flesh were rotten, the facial features were difficult to distinguish, and there were several scratches of varying depths on the nasal bones, forehead bones, cheekbones, etc., which happened to be spread all over the face. .

The palms of both hands were severely worn and no flesh and blood remained.

In addition, the bottom of the corpse's left leg, near the ankle, was also stabbed diagonally, and the entire left foot was missing.

Tie Ruonan looked back and forth for a long time, his expression still sad.

"how?"

Tie Xue Leng, who was standing behind him and looking down, asked, thinking faintly.

Tie Ruonan did not speak immediately. Instead, he raised his head with one hand, held it in front of his eyes, and observed it carefully. He put it down after a while and stood up.

"The Gu Yue clan believes that this corpse is the murderer of Jia Jinsheng, so they have put a lot of effort into preserving it, but there are still many problems."

Tie Ruonan answered loudly and talked eloquently.

"First of all, what puzzles me the most is the scars on the head." Tie Ruonan pointed at each one, "It is true that the separation of the head is a fatal injury, but why did it leave so many traces? If it is said to be the result of a battle. "Yes, the traces are too shallow. I suspect it was done deliberately to hide the person's true face."

"In addition, the broken bone mark on the left leg is still smooth even though it has been gone for a long time. It should be caused by the moon blade wielded by the Gu Yue clan's unique moonlight Gu.

Was it really caused during the battle, or was it specially cut off after the war? I'm very skeptical. "

"In this way, doesn't it mean that nothing is gained?" Tie Xue Leng asked.

"That's not the case!" Tie Ruonan's eyes glanced back and forth at the corpse again, finally settling on the arms. "This man's right arm is two times thicker than his left arm, and he has several hidden wounds on his body. It should be caused by accumulation in the past. He once engaged in manual labor. He may have been a serf or a hunter... But there are still too few clues. We need to ask who Famous village Gu master."

"I'm sorry, I may have to disappoint you two. Jiang He's family died in the wolf tide!"

The accompanying Gu Yue family member laughed sarcastically.

"What? Died in battle?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, Tie Ruonan lost his voice in shock, and even Tie Xue Leng frowned slightly.

"Are you sure he really died in the battle? Did anyone see him being killed by the Lightning Wolf?" Tie Ruonan was doubtful and asked again.

"That's not true, but a Gu master saw him disappearing among the wolves in order to lure away the electric wolf..."

"So, it is not certain that Jiang He is really dead. It should be said that he is missing."

Tie Ruonan's face turned ugly, and he complained in his heart, complaining about the vague and perfunctory attitude of the Gu Yue clan.

The clue is broken!

It is impossible to deduce anything valuable from such an incomplete skeleton.

Walking in Guyue Village, while thinking, Tie Xueleng handed a piece of bamboo paper to Tie Ruonan.

"Uh, what is this?"

I spread out the bamboo paper and saw that it was all provided by Jia Fu, recording a lot of news about Jiang He.

"Flower bud Gu, Golden Bell Gu, Water Milk Gu, Wind-walking Gu, these are all the Gus Jiang He bought in the caravan. There are quite a variety of them!" Tie Ruonan thought to himself and continued to read attentively.

"He bought a red iron relic Gu? Wait, there is actually a level three silver relic Gu!"

Tie Ruonan's mouth opened wide, showing an unprecedented look of shock.

Let alone the red iron relic Gu, just this third-level silver relic Gu can instantly improve a third-level Gu master to a small realm, and the actual market price is 50,000 Yuanshi.

"Where did Jiang He get so many Yuanshi? The total price of the Gu worms he bought twice from the caravan is almost 60,000! He is just a second-level Gu master!"

Shock, confusion, puzzlement, gathered in Tie Ruonan's heart, and it took a long time to dissipate.

"This Jiang He, there is a problem!"

...

Immediately, Tie Ruonan began to run back and forth in Guyue Village, visiting those who were related to Jiang He.

Among them were his younger brother Jiang Ya, the Gu master who was in the same group, and the survivors who saw Jiang He lead the electric wolf away.

"Sure enough, there is a big problem with this Jiang He!" Scanning the files that were sorted out after half a day, Tie Ruonan narrowed his eyes slightly. "He was just a village Gu Master at the time, with a limited monthly salary of Yuanshi, and his parents died, and there was no elder to help him. Where did he get so many Yuanshi?"

"The most important point is that his Gu worms were clearly purchased from the caravan, but he said that they were obtained by killing demon cultivators, which was clearly an excuse. In addition, the Gu worms he purchased were of various types, obviously to supplement his own deficiencies. I'm afraid he had been preparing for a battle with others!"

"So, Jiang He is the murderer?" Tiexue Leng said slowly.

"No!" Tie Ruonan said firmly, his eyes sparkling, "Although Jiang He has a lot of problems, it has nothing to do with Jia Jinsheng. That's 60,000 Yuanshi! Ordinary elders may not be able to pay it, let alone Jia Jinsheng who has just turned one level of cultivation."

"And Jiang He did have a lot of intersections with Fang Yuan, and they jointly produced vitality leaves, but even selling vitality leaves can't make so much money."

"The clue is broken again?" Tiexue Leng asked at the right time.

"No!" Tie Ruonan's eyes flickered, "There is a key question, why did Fang Yuan cooperate with Jiang He to produce vitality leaves?"

"Maybe it's because Jiang He has a high level of cultivation, his true essence is durable, and his efficiency is good!" Tie Xue retorted coldly.

"There are many Gu Masters with higher cultivation than him in the clan, why did it have to be Jiang He? There must be a reason to force the two of them to join forces! And in this cooperation, Fang Yuan actually made more profit.

I suspect that Fang Yuan may have some handle on Jiang He, which forced him to promote cooperation. Perhaps this handle is related to the magic cultivator!"

As he spoke, there was a commotion at the gate of the mountain village.

It turned out that the envoy of the Xiong Family Village appeared, but it triggered a wave of public opinion that affected the entire Gu Yue clan.

The Xiong Family Village used a Gu worm left by their ancestors to cover up the breath of everyone and conceal the truth.

The Gu Yue clan was filled with righteous indignation.

...

The next day.

Tie Ruonan visited the Gu Yue clan again, and his focus was on Fang Yuan.

She also accidentally learned from Fang Yuan's brother, Fang Zheng, that Fang Yuan had been devastated and addicted to alcohol after the Enlightenment Ceremony.

Later, she visited the inn where Fang Yuan often bought wine and found that Fang Yuan had started buying Qingzhu wine very early.

"Is Fang Yuan really unable to withstand the blow and is addicted to alcohol?"

Recalling Fang Yuan's spirit when she recalled him before, this idea was instantly rejected by Tie Ruonan herself.

With this in mind, Tie Ruonan secretly activated the intuition Gu.

Suddenly, she felt that she was facing a high wall and was at a loss, but in an instant, it was as if a layer of window paper had been broken, and her eyes were bright.

"Maybe! Fang Yuan had the wine bug a long time ago, maybe!"

"Use the intuition Gu with caution, intuition cannot be used as evidence!"

After giving a warning, Tiexue Leng handed him a letter, which was the reply letter from Jia Fu, which detailed the past experience of Fang Yuan's gambling on stones, including the toad and wine bug, the interrogation with the bamboo gentleman Gu, and the various behaviors Fang Yuan showed during the second business trip.

"Sure enough!" With the information provided by Jia Fu, Tie Ruonan became more determined in his guess, but soon he fell into another dilemma.

"Where did Fang Yuan's wine bug come from? Since it was not a gift from others, or purchased, the remaining possibility is... a treasure! Yes! If there is a treasure in Qingmao Mountain, everything makes sense!"

Tie Ruonan immediately saw the light.

All of a sudden, there was news that Fang Yuan represented the Gu Yue clan and officially went to Xiongjiazhai.

"Damn it! I still didn't catch up!" Tie Ruonan cursed after just getting a glimpse of the truth, but encountered a reversal.

Then, he subconsciously looked in the direction of his father behind him, but he didn't see anyone. He called out:

"Father! Father!"

Tie Ruonan felt uneasy for a while, as if something bad was about to happen.

...

Gurgle~

As Fang Yuan continued to throw Yuanshi into the Yuanquan vortex, the lotus-shaped Tianyuan Baolian virtual image became clearer and clearer.

One by one, the Yuanquan seemed like a bottomless pit, continuously swallowing the Yuanshi in Fang Yuan's hand.

Finally, when Fang Yuan threw out the 50,000 Yuanshi, he still didn't see the Tianyuan Baolian appear in person, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

The Tianyuan Baolian is very precious. Whether in his past life or this life, he has never touched it before. He was unsure and didn't dare to act rashly.

But soon he calmed down and no longer hesitated. He jumped up and hit the crystal wall. According to his memory, he reached out and grabbed it.

It was this grab that created a treasure lotus out of nothing.

This precious lotus is blue and white, with closed petals, full like a lamp, and extremely holy.

His mind moved again, and he summoned a trace of the breath of the Spring and Autumn Cicada, which was instantly refined by Fang Yuan.

The Tianyuan Precious Lotus was obtained!

Fang Yuan just put the precious lotus into his empty cavity and turned to leave.

Who knew that from the depths of the Yuanquan, a dazzling blood light suddenly burst out, and a strong suction force suddenly emerged, the spring water turned red, sucking the unprepared Fang Yuan into it.

Tianpeng Gu! Thunder Wing Gu!

At the critical moment, Fang Yuan propped up a layer of white light virtual armor, and grew two wings of lightning on his back, trying to escape.

After he held his breath and withstood the strong pressure, he felt that he was falling at a very fast speed.

Fang Yuan's heart sank, and he maintained his balance in mid-air. Looking around, he found that he was in an underground space, and a blood lake as red as blood was right below him.

"Blood lake? Wait, could it be the Blood Sea Ancestor!"

Originally, the part about Tie Ruonan's investigation was planned to be solved in half a chapter, but I didn't expect it to be more and more.

Obviously, without the protagonist, the key witness, the plot progress has changed, but the general development is still in line with the original work.
