Xing Yuxiang, Yege and Qiu Yuanxue met again at the door of the inn after inquiring around the capital.

"Whew...... After inquiring, a beggar said that he had seen a man in a black immortal cultivation robe, and he held an iron sword that emitted black mist in his hand, but he stayed in the capital for a while and left. Yege said tiredly panting.

"It's the same on my side, I asked the beggar, but they don't know where the person has gone. Xing Yuxiang said.

“...... It seems that the clue is broken again, since this pendant belongs to Miao Jiang in terms of workmanship, it seems that we have a trip to Miao Jiang. Qiu Yuanxue said thoughtfully with her hands on her cheeks.

"Miao Jiang...... I'm afraid it's a long way to go......" Xing Yuxiang said.

"In that case, let's prepare first, but before I go to Miaojiang, I need to investigate another matter. Qiu Yuanxue said to everyone.

"Something else? Could it be...... Do you mean the pendant with the word Xiaoxi written on it?" Xing Yuxiang had doubts in his heart when he heard Qiu Yuanxue's words, and he said after thinking for a while.

"But this one pendant clue alone is really too few. Night Song said with a frown.

“...... But let's look into it, and maybe we can find another breakthrough. Qiu Yuanxue said.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them continued to separate in the capital, visiting the market or crowded places to investigate the clues of the pendant......

Qiu Yuanxue walked in the crowd, today's market is extra lively, the vendors on both sides of the road are selling all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, gourmet snacks, rouge gouache and so on attract a large number of pedestrians.

Qiu Yuanxue's eyes were still staring at the pendant engraved with the word Xiaoxi in her hand, and she hoped to find some clues from it......

But Qiu Yuanxue didn't notice a handsome white-faced scholar with a wooden medicine box on his back.

As the two of them walked faster and faster, neither noticed each other.

Suddenly, they collided head-on, "Boom!", and after a loud sound, I saw that the white-faced scholar's medicine box was thrown to the ground, and the medicinal materials inside were scattered on the ground.

Qiu Yuanxue and the scholar hurriedly bent down to help pack up the precious herbs.

"It's really not funny, it's because I'm not careful when I walk. Qiu Yuanxue apologized while helping to clean up the medicinal herbs that had fallen on the ground.

"Oh, it's okay girl, I'll do it myself. The white-faced scholar also said politely.

But just as the white-faced scholar was picking it up, his eyes inadvertently noticed the pendant engraved with the word Xiaoxi that fell to the ground, and the scholar picked up the pendant and said with a surprised expression: "This pendant ......"

"Oh, I stumbled upon this pendant...... Could it be that this boy has seen this pendant?" Qiu Yuanxue stood up and asked.

"This is my lady's pendant, where did the girl pick it up?" asked the white-faced scholar.

"I picked it up on the outskirts of town...... That, since Childe knows about the pendant, in fact, I also want to inquire about your lady. Qiu Yuanxue said.

"Alas...... My lady is deceased, what does the girl want to ask?"

"Oh...... I'm sorry, I just wanted to ask you about what happened to your lady during her lifetime. Qiu Yuanxue said.

"In that case, girl, we might as well go to the restaurant in front of us and talk, and we can't just stand and talk. The white-faced scholar replied politely.

So, Qiu Yuanxue followed the white-faced scholar to a restaurant, and after finding an empty seat, the two simply ordered some tea and chatted.

"Hello ......"

"The girl doesn't have to be polite, just call me Li Gongzi. The white-faced scholar introduced himself.

"Li Gongzi, I look like a scholar, but why do you have to carry a medicine box to practice medicine?" Qiu Yuanxue said with some curiosity.

"Ha, I practice medicine is also to continue the spirit of my mother, now the village in the mountains is poor family patients, I came to the city this time to buy medicinal materials for the treatment of patients, I have read thousands of books before, but then I feel that only the book of Compendium of Materia Medica deeply attracted me. The white-faced scholar said.

"Oh, I see...... Then how did you and your lady meet?" Qiu Yuanxue asked.

"This ...... Let's start from five years ago, one day I got seriously ill, I thought I was dying, and my mother sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail. But in the end, I invited a female doctor to treat me, this female doctor was none other than my wife, she took the initiative to treat me, and my family was poor at that time...... She actually promised to treat me for free, and after I recovered from my serious illness, I found her to thank her, and I occasionally visited her after a long time, and gradually developed ambiguous feelings with her...... "Li Mo said while drinking tea.

"I didn't expect that the encounter between you and your lady can be regarded as a fate given by God. Qiu Yuanxue said.

"Ha, the girl laughed. ”

"By the way, tell me what is the lady's name?"

"Her name is Xiaoxi, and she is an honest and brave doctor...... Alas, it's a pity...... Now she's gone to heaven. Li Mo said with tears in his eyes.

"Xiao Xi...... It can't be such a coincidence, right...... In the previous dream, wasn't the person who was buried Xiao Xi?" Qiu Yuanxue thought in shock.

"May I ask Li Gongzi, do you know why your lady left?" Qiu Yuanxue said.

"She was a real hero, and I only remember the last time I saw her, when she was going out to collect medicine, and said that she would be back soon...... But it turned out to be a cold corpse...... Alas. The white-faced scholar said sadly in his heart.

"Then did she say where she went to collect medicine when she went out?" Qiu Yuanxue continued to ask.

The white-faced scholar shook his head and continued, "No...... However, I heard from the villagers who brought back the corpses that she went to Yishou Village to treat the villagers there, and finally died of her own illness, but she exchanged her life for the health of the 205 patients, which I admire as a doctor!"

"Yishou Village...... Maybe before going to Miaojiang, I should also stop by the way, and if there is nothing else to do later, I can take Xing Yuxiang and Sister Yege and go there to visit and investigate together. Qiu Yuanxue pondered.

"That...... There's one thing I'd like to ask, but...... I don't know if I should open my mouth......" Qiu Yuanxue hesitated for a long time and said.

"Girl, don't be polite, just say something. Li Mo said.

"Excuse me...... After your lady left, where did you bury her body?" Qiu Yuanxue said with a serious expression on her brows.

"It's buried in Yelangang near Yishou Village, if the girl wants to worship, I can take you to see it. The white-faced scholar said.

"Li Gongzi...... Next, I want to tell you one thing......" Qiu Yuanxue said.

"What's the matter?"

"Your lady, she...... There's a good chance you're still alive......," Qiu Yuanxue said.

“...... This!...... Girl, you can't make this joke, Xiaoxi's mother and I witnessed her body buried, how can this person be alive when she is dead!" The white-faced scholar immediately got up from his chair and said in shock after hearing this.

"No...... At the moment, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the woman who is exactly like me is Xiaoxi herself...... I still want to confirm whether the body is still in the coffin in the place where Xiaoxi is buried, if it is really not there, then it should match the memory I saw in my dream......" Qiu Yuanxue calmly analyzed.

"Li Gongzi, don't mind, I'm just talking about it, by the way, Li Gongzi, can you take me to see Xiao Xi's clothed mound?" Qiu Yuanxue asked.

"Yes, by the way, I don't know what your last name is, girl, for a long time?" said the white-faced scholar.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Qiu Yuanxue. Qiu Yuanxue introduced herself.

"Then Miss Qiu, we will go to the village and town of the mountain in a while, and it just so happens that we will go now, and take you to my lady's tombstone. The white-faced scholar said.

"Hmm...... But can Li Gongzi wait for me? I'll ask some friends to go to the place you mentioned first. Qiu Yuanxue said.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuanxue used the sound transmission stone to contact Xing Yuxiang and Yege, and after the two finally met at the restaurant, the three of them followed the white-faced scholar to Ye Langang together.

Yelangang is a dense forest here, and the winding dirt road stretches through the jungle with no end in sight.

Qiu Yuanxue, Xingyu Xiang, and Xingyu Yege followed the guidance of the white-faced scholar to come to Xiaoxi's clothed mound to worship.

When he was about to leave, the white-faced scholar said to Qiu Yuanxue, Xing Yuxiang, and Yege: "The three of you are really embarrassed, there are still patients waiting for me to be treated, so I won't accompany you and leave first." ”

After saying hello, the white-faced scholar hurriedly left with the medicine box on his back......

Qiu Yuanxue saw that the white-faced scholar had gone away, and she said to Xing Yuxiang beside her, "Xing Yuxiang, did I ask you to bring the things I prepared before?"

"Brought ...... But Miss Qiu, do you want to ......" Xing Yuxiang took out three small shovels, and he seemed to have guessed Qiu Yuanxue's thoughts, so he said with a surprised expression.

"That's right, let's dig up Xiaoxi's grave and open the lid of the coffin, this time we're going to move faster, I just want to confirm one thing. Qiu Yuanxue said.

"But wouldn't it be disrespectful for us to do this?" said Night Song with some embarrassment.

"......" Qiu Yuanxue was silent for a while, but then she came to Xiao Xi's tombstone to worship and said, "Miss Xiao Xi...... I'm sorry, we're digging up your grave to confirm something very important...... I hope your spirit in heaven will forgive us. ”

Qiu Yuanxue closed her eyes and worshiped seriously, and Xingyu Yege and Xingyuxiang also knelt down to worship.

"Miss Xiaoxi...... I know, it's not good to dig your grave...... After all, you're already sleeping underground...... However, we are also forced to investigate some things...... But don't worry, after the investigation is over, I promise to restore you to the way you were, and I won't bother you again. Xing Yuxiang said.

"Sister Xiaoxi...... I'm really sorry, but I'll put a few more leek buns for you when I'm done, and I hope you can forgive me. Nightsong said.

"Alright, let's get started. Qiu Yuanxue stood up and said to Xing Yuxiang and Ye Ge.

Immediately after, Qiu Yuanxue, Xing Yuxiang, and Yege began to dig Xiaoxi's grave with a shovel.

I don't know how long it took to dig, but in a blink of an eye, it was dark, and everyone finally leaked the coffin, Xing Yuxiang pushed open the lid of the coffin hard, only to see that the coffin was empty, and there was nothing left at all.

Xing Yuxiang and Yege who were present were completely dumbfounded, they were stunned there, their eyes wide open.

"The ...... What about the remains?"

"I don't know, brother...... Is there really a ghost in this world?" Ye Ge was so frightened that she immediately put down the shovel in her hand, she hurriedly ran to her brother's side, hugged Xing Yuxiang's arm with her strong arm and dragged it beside her, and said, "Brother...... Difficult...... Is there really a ghost in this world?"

"Sister Night Song, don't be afraid...... How can there be ghosts in this world, someone must have transported the corpse away. ”

"Sure enough...... As I expected. At this time, Qiu Yuanxue seemed to see something, and she whispered in a low voice.

"Does Miss Autumn know anything?"

"Oh...... No, no, I'm just thinking about it. Qiu Yuanxue shook her head and said.

——————

At the same time, in the cave on the other side, Qiu Yuan Dark Snow rushed back, she half-knelt in front of her master and said, "Master...... I'm sorry, that Qiu Yuanxue is insidious and cunning, and actually set a trap to harm me...... I've been tricked. ”

"In other words, has your identity been revealed?"

"......" Qiuyuan Dark Snow didn't dare to squeak, she calmed down and fell into silence.

"It's okay, I'm going to send you to kill two people. Shadow said.

"Kill whom?" asked Qiuyuan Dark Snow.

"As the saying goes, as long as people live, sometimes they will always do things that are remembered by the world, so the person killed this time has something to do with you, just ask if you dare. Shadow asked.

"It's about me?...... Master, who are you trying to kill? Don't beat around the bush, just talk about it. Qiuyuan Dark Snow said with a puzzled expression.

"Your Mother: Shanshan, and your former sweetheart, Li Mo, are you willing to kill them for your own safety and the future?" asked Shadow with her hands behind her back.
