Chapter 44: The Story of Finding My Senior Sister (Part II)
"Then why did the Moon Spirit move Senior Brother Mo Kang's body here? Shouldn't it be placed in a more inconspicuous place? This will also be more difficult to be discovered by the elders who came to help, so as to realize the Moon Spirit's original plan. ”
Yue Moran looked at the corpse on the ground and expressed her doubts.
"It's not that the moon spirit moved here, you look over there, there is still a lot of blood left under the broken tree, presumably, that's where the corpse was originally located, because it hung for too long, so the blood on the corpse dripped on the ground, and there was the blood that was stored. ”
"You mean, Senior Sister Ying? Senior Sister put Senior Brother Mokang's body here? Senior Brother Chen, what else did you find?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that's how it should be. Yue Mochen thought for a moment and continued to speak: "After Senior Sister Ying broke up with you, I realized the issue we just discussed, so I returned to the neighborhood to look for it, and then I found Senior Brother Mokang who entered the palace at the same time as her. Senior Sister Ying probably couldn't bear to see Senior Brother Mokang's body hanging on the tree, so she took it down and put it here. ”
Yue Mochen didn't rush to answer Yue Moran's last question, but as if he was thinking about something, he spoke again: "Look at it, the clothes on the corpse have obviously been sorted out, presumably Senior Sister Ying saw that the person from the same door was killed, but she didn't have storage equipment, and she couldn't take the corpse away like me, so she used this way to show respect for the deceased." If she wasn't in a hurry, she would have buried this Senior Brother Mokang. ”
Yue Mochen said as he put Yue Mokang's body into the space of the ring.
"Then junior brother, have you found the clues left by your senior sister?" Yue Moran hurriedly asked.
"It's better than nothing, I have a clue, but I'm not sure. Yue Mochen's originally bright eyes flashed a trace of helplessness.
Under Yue Moran's anxious gaze, he continued to speak: "It's just that there are no other clues now, so I can only bet, I guess right." ”
Yue Mochen looked at the ground, his expression was a little anxious, and he frowned lightly and said: "Senior Sister, you see, there are faint traces of blood on the ground, it should be that Senior Sister Ying brought Senior Brother Mokang here, it should have flowed down from Senior Brother Mokang's corpse, but, have you ever thought about why Senior Sister Ying brought him here?"
"Didn't you say that Senior Sister couldn't bear to see Senior Brother Mokang's body hanging on a tree? Yue Moran wondered.
"Yes, but although the distance between these two places is not far, why didn't Senior Sister Ying just put Senior Brother Mokang under the broken tree?" Yue Mochen asked rhetorically.
"Yes, why?" Yue Moran was obviously puzzled.
"Senior sister, have you noticed that although these two places are not far apart, the trees that grow in the two places are completely different?"
"Yes, the trees here are thicker and taller. And the other side is thin in comparison, but what does that have to do with the problem we're talking about?"
Yue Mochen took out the Straight Ridge Battle Knife, did not use the aura in his body, and slashed hard at the ground like this, and a large piece of turf was lifted, revealing the dark black soil.
"Senior sister, look at the soil here, what is the difference between the soil here and the one over there. ”
Yue Mo stared at it, and under the mess not far away, a little yellow dirt was lifted by the battle. I can't help but think of an unwritten rule in the Shallow Moon Palace.
There is an unwritten rule in the palace that all disciples who die in the course of training should be buried on the spot after meeting the same disciple.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: every time I practiced in the palace, almost all disciples died, and the way of cultivation was so uneven, but everyone still flocked to it. Why bother?
Looking at Yue Moran's expression, Yue Mochen knew that the other party had been able to connect with his own thoughts, but he still couldn't understand what he meant, so he continued to speak.
"Because of the unwritten rule in the palace, all elders who die outside will be recovered and placed in the shallow moon cemetery, while the dead disciples do not have this honor, and can only be buried on the spot by their fellow disciples or reduced to animal food. Therefore, Senior Sister Ying's original intention was to bury Senior Brother Mokang's body, and the reason why it was placed here was that the soil in this location was black soil, which was relatively loose and easier to dig pits. ”
"So, Senior Sister brought the body here, and planned to bury Senior Brother Mokang, but why did we see ......?"
"That's the clue I'm talking about. Since the senior sister had made plans to bury the senior brother, why did she leave before she finished it? The only explanation was that she had discovered something before digging a pit for her senior brother, so she chased after him before she had time to bury it. ”
Yue Mochen's tone paused, looked at the broken branches not far away, and then looked at the canopy of the big tree next to him, and said in a deep voice: "After all, protecting a senior brother who is not dead is more important than burying a dead senior brother." ”
"You mean, Senior Sister discovered Yue Ling?" Yue Moran hurriedly asked.
"It's possible, senior sister, you wait for me. ”
After Yue Mochen finished speaking, he handed over the red moon hanging on his body to Yue Moran, jumped into the big tree on the side, and jumped onto the big tree on the side. Then, like a spirit monkey, he quickly climbed to the top of the tree.
Under the cover of the woods, it was impossible for Yue Mochen to see the traces of battle on the ground, but he still saw the picture he wanted to see!
Yue Mochen stood at the top of the tree, and after looking around carefully, the scene in front of him made him confirm his previous guess in his heart.
Yue Moying's cultivation is the peak of a fighter, and with her ear power, she can probably hear movements half a mile away.
Because of the special situation in the forest, there are too many trees, which will have a great impact on the transmission of sound, and the sound can only be transmitted to half the distance that can be transmitted in ordinary places at most. In other words, in this Deep Moon Forest, the other party could hear movement within a radius of 100 zhang at most.
At this time, Yue Mochen looked around and found something unusual within a hundred zhang.
He stood on the tree, and because of the obscuration of the leaves, he could only see the canopy of the surrounding trees, but he was shocked to find that except for the small vacuum in the canopy of the place caused by Senior Brother Mokang's previous battle, there was a position in the northwest direction of him, about a hundred zhang, that was the vacuum of the canopy.
If it's not that there are no trees growing in that area, the only explanation is that the trees there are broken. And in this lush forest, it is very rare to have a vacuum where no trees grow.
Yue Mochen was willing to believe that it was the vacuum caused by the Yue Moying of the Fighter Peak in the battle.
Seeing this, he slid down and jumped in front of Yue Moran.
"Walk, in the northwest direction, about a hundred zhang, there are traces of battle. ”
