Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 315 Reasoning
Mo Fan quickly walked in front of Lian Xishan and said viciously, "Jiang Shaojun disappeared inexplicably after searching for an ancient totem. There has been no news since then. Tell me the truth, did you secretly kill him?"

When Lian Xishan heard Mo Fan say this, his face turned pale with fright!
Oh my God, he didn't kill Jiang Shaojun at all. Lian Xishan shook his head frantically and said, "This really has nothing to do with me. I really didn't kill him. He wanted to go there on his own at that time. I thought it was too dangerous and his idea was too unrealistic. After that, our team didn't continue to stay with him!"

"Oh? Then where did he go later? Do you know anything?" Mo Fan continued to ask.

"Later he went to many places, one of which was Hangzhou. Then he came to me with great excitement. He said that he had accidentally discovered the biggest secret and hoped that I could help him find the totem. At that time, I thought he had gone crazy, so I ignored him. He was very disappointed in me at that time, and then he went to the north alone." Lian Xishan said.

Being accused of murder by Mo Fan, Lian Xishan naturally did not dare to hide anything. He hurriedly told Mo Fan everything he knew.

“Did you go to Hangzhou?” Mo Fan was lost in thought. He looked at Lin Ran and said, “Did you go to find the Totem Black Snake?”

"It should be possible." Lin Ran said.

"He seemed to go to Gansu later." Lian Xishan said with sweat on his forehead. These people in front of him are not easy to deal with.

"Do you know this feather?" After saying this, Mo Fan took out a very large feather from his space capsule.

Lian Xishan obviously recognized the feather, the expression on his face told everyone.

After a while, Lian Xishan smiled awkwardly and stammered, "We spent a lot of effort to find this feather, but later there was a serious disagreement in our team, so we didn't continue."

"So where did you find this feather?" Mo Fan asked.

"It's in Yantai. If you want to go there, I can provide you with all the information." Lian Xishan said.

"You are still useful. I will send you to the Tribunal later." Mo Fan couldn't help but smile.

Lin Ran looked at Yu Shishi and said, "They look very energetic."

Yu Shishi nodded and said, "The little green moths are very happy."

Lian Xishan immediately showed an expression of gratitude when he heard Mo Fan's words. If he really fell into the hands of Chairman Shao Zheng, then he, a small historical researcher, would definitely be in big trouble.

"I'm leaving." Yu Shishi looked at Lin Ran and said.

“Are you leaving now? If the Moon Moth Phoenix wakes up, please help us ask it if it recognizes other totem beasts.” Mo Fan said.

"Yeah!" said Yu Shishi.

This place is closer to Hangzhou, so Lin Ran, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Ye Ying, Ling Ling and others escorted these people directly to Hangzhou.

When they arrived at the Lingyin Temple trial meeting, Tang Yue was also there. She stared with wide eyes and looked at Lin Ran, Mo Fan, Ye Ying, Mu Ningxue, and Ling Ling with confusion.

Tang Zhong was also here. Before he could even open his mouth, Mo Fan spoke first: "Old Tang, we can borrow the prison of your Lingyin Temple Tribunal for use. These damned guys are quite important to the Speaker."
"Then you should at least tell me what the situation is. Zeng Guanglie, Ke Lingxi, have they committed any crime?" Tang Zhong naturally recognized these two people.

The East China Sea Magic Association and the Hangzhou Magic Association often deal with each other. Zeng Guanglie and Ke Lingxi are not low-ranking wizards, but how come they were captured here like prisoners by Lin Ran and others?

After that, Ye Ying gave a general explanation and Tang Zhong understood.

"You are really confused!" Tang Zhong seemed to have some friendship with Ke Lingxi, he said with a sad face.

"Brother Tang Zhong, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I was too impatient." Ke Lingxi sighed heavily.

But it's too late to say anything now. He clearly found the totem but didn't tell any member of the Magic Association. He even colluded with outsiders. He can't escape this crime.

"You'd better explain everything clearly, maybe you can get a break." Tang Zhong said.

"I will, alas." Ke Lingxi looked dejected.

"Tang Yue, please send them to the prison." Tang Zhong said.

"There have been a lot of things happening recently, and the cells of our Lingyin Temple Tribunal are almost full." Tang Yue said.

……

It was already late at night, and Lin Ran was planning to go look for Tang Yue, but Mo Fan stopped him and wanted to discuss something with Mu Ningxue.

The beautiful scenery of the island in the middle of the lake is extremely moving. If Mo Fan wasn't there, Lin Ran would definitely be happier.

"Are you really going to look for the totem?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"Yes, but it's not just me, there's also Lin Ran." Mo Fan said.

Lin Ran said, "I hope we can find enough totem beasts."

"Yeah." Mu Ningxue said.

“I don’t know why, but I always feel that there is a special fateful relationship between me and the totem. There is a loud voice that keeps calling me. As long as I come into contact with one more totem creature, the call will become stronger.” Mo Fan said seriously.

Lin Ran looked at Mo Fan and said, "Does that voice sound like Teacher Tang Yue?"

Mu Ningxue looked at Lin Ran and then asked, "Is it very big?"

Lin Ran looked away and said, "Alas~, I can't control it at all."

“Hehehe.” Mo Fan laughed, but it sounded full of contempt.

Mu Ningxue's steps suddenly became brisk, and she walked into an attic.

"You seem to have mentioned the murals here before." Mu Ningxue said after seeing the murals on the wall.

“Oh, I’ve seen these things many times, and there’s no better explanation for them… This part looks a lot like the pictures and texts we saw on Japanese wooden fish vessels before. It looks like words, but also like patterns, and it feels like nothing at all. Look, this part is from the totem black snake. There is a huge snake body protecting the village at this position, which should be the totem black snake… And this…” Mo Fan said.

Lin Ran was about to say something while holding Mu Ningxue's hand when he saw Mo Fan suddenly fall silent. It seemed like something had happened.

Lin Ran knew Mo Fan well. Mo Fan looked like this probably because he had discovered something. Lin Ran also looked in the direction where Mo Fan was looking.

Mo Fan's eyes were fixed on the wall picture. He first looked at the complete totem of the black snake, and then moved on to the wooden fish vessel image further down!
"Doubi Nanbowan, come and have a look. Do you think the pattern here is similar to the pattern on the giant pupa of the Moon Moth Phoenix we saw before?" Mo Fan suddenly walked to the wall, and then he pointed to a very strange and bizarre pattern not far away, and immediately spoke. "Let me see, Doubi Nanbowan No. 2." Lin Ran said.

Mu Ningxue looked at the two of them helplessly, then she looked at the place where Mo Fan pointed: "Really? It's really the same!"

“Look at this again!” Mo Fan immediately took out the totem feather he had used before and placed it a little higher on the Moon Moth Phoenix Totem.

Lin Ran and Mu Ningxue looked at them very carefully. After some comparison, they were surprised to find that the pattern of the Moon Moth Phoenix Totem was very similar to the feather pattern, and they could even overlap to a certain extent.

This is not a coincidence.

The totem pattern of the Moon Moth Phoenix and the totem pattern of this mysterious feather can actually overlap! !

"By the way, Mu Ningxue, have you heard of the legend of Xuanwu?" Mo Fan asked.

Mu Ningxue raised her head and looked at Mo Fan, then listened to his next words.

“These words were said by Zhao Manyan before. I was very confused at that time, why he suddenly became interested in totemic creatures and even did some research on them.” Mo Fan recalled what Zhao Manyan had said to him and Lin Ran, and combined with the information about Ba Xia that Chairman Shao Zheng had told them, he sorted out the information and said,

"Zhao Manyan told us about the legend of Xuanwu at that time. He said that Xuanwu had two descendants, one of which was the totem black snake, and the other was Baxia. Judging from the inferences of Old Man Bao, Chairman Shao Zheng, and Lin Ran, Zhao Manyan's wooden fish vessel is obviously the totem symbol of Baxia. This thing was kept in the hands of the tribal leader in ancient times. Look at this. This is the ancient totem pattern that Jiang Shaojun searched for before. If nothing goes wrong, this is the totem seal of Xuanwu."

After Mo Fan finished speaking, he took out Jiang Shaojun's parchment diary. There was a scribbled picture on the diary, and it was marked as Xuanwu by Jiang Shaojun.

This Xuanwu totem seal also looked very familiar to Mu Ningxue...

“This… this Black Tortoise totem mark seems to be a combination of the Black Snake mark and the Wooden Fish mark!” Mu Ningxue thought about the mark on Zhao Manyan’s wooden fish vessel and made this inference.

"Yes, they are combined! The two of them can be combined together, and then it is Xuanwu... It can also confirm this legend. Xuanwu has two descendants, one is Xuanshe and the other is Baxia." Mo Fan said immediately.

Mu Ningxue nodded. She noticed that Mo Fan was very happy. Then she looked at Lin Ran, who was staring blankly. Mu Ningxue couldn't help but push Lin Ran and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"No." Lin Ran said.

“Come and look at this feather, Lin Ran, you have to be serious.” Mo Fan pasted the mysterious feather on the wall and then covered one part of it with his hand.

"Well, this part is very similar to the Moon Moth Phoenix, you mentioned it before." Mu Ningxue said.

"If the theories of Xuanwu, Baxia and Xuanshe are true, then it means that the Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​actually one of the descendants of the owner of this mysterious feather!" said Mo Fan.

When Mu Ningxue heard these words, ripples arose in her heart, and an indescribable feeling of shock echoed in her heart!

Such a powerful being as the Moon Moth Phoenix is ​​actually the descendant of a certain feather totem, so what kind of being is the owner of this feather totem? ?

"We now know the totem mark of the Moon Moth Phoenix, and we also know the totem mark of this feather. If we do pattern subtraction, we can infer the symbolic mark of another totem creature?" Mu Ningxue suddenly thought of something and said.

“Yes, yes, yes!!!” Mo Fan nodded frantically.

Lin Ran listened silently.

The formula for the totem mark is actually very simple. The Ba Xia mark plus the Xuan Snake mark is equal to the Xuanwu mark!
In this way, the mark of the mysterious feather totem minus the mark of the moon moth phoenix is ​​equal to the mark of an unknown totem creature!
The traces of totem creatures have been severely worn away by time, so it is naturally very difficult to find them. However, if you have the totem mark, then you will have a clue and hope! !
"Could it be that Jiang Shaojun understood the rules of totem marks because of seeing these?" Mu Ningxue then remembered the words of Lian Xishan.

“Absolutely. The reason why he went to the north to explore alone must be that he deduced the true identity of a very ancient and extremely powerful totem through these different totem marks. You can see that he mentioned it in his diary.” Mo Fan said excitedly.

Jiang Shaojun must have deduced the true identity of a super powerful totem in this way, but no one believed his theory at that time, so he chose to verify it himself.

He was a man who was madly obsessed with history and was able to give up everything for the sake of his thirst for knowledge, but unfortunately he did not come back in the end... Many times they listened to Jiang Shaoxu telling stories about her and her brother Jiang Shaojun. At that time, they did not feel much, but now they have deduced this secret.

What kind of totem ancient beast is it?
The status of the Feather Totem is obviously higher than that of the Moon Moth Phoenix, so what is the other totem at the same level as the Moon Moth Phoenix? ?

What is this ancient super totem that Jiang Shaojun described passionately in his diary? Is it a feather totem, or something else?

“Although I don’t quite understand why you are interested in totem creatures, I think you may really be able to dig out other totem beasts besides the Totem Black Snake and the Moon Moth Phoenix.” Mu Ningxue said.

Mo Fan looked at Mu Ningxue and was unable to answer for a moment.

Why is he so keen on totems?

Is it strength?

He admired the powerful strength of the totem beasts. If he could subdue one or two of them, would that mean he could dominate the world? !
After a long time, the three of them arrived here immediately.

Lin Ran originally planned to enter Mu Ningxue's room, but Mu Ningxue closed the door cleanly and neatly.

Lin Ran touched his nose and left here feeling a little depressed.

Then he went to attack Tang Yue at night.

Tang Yue, who was looking up information, frowned and looked towards a shadowy location.

At this time, Lin Ran came out and said, "Teacher, I miss you so much~."

Tang Yue raised her foot and pressed it against Lin Ran's face and said, "Go away."

Lin Ran grabbed Tang Yue's white and tender feet, then with a little force, he pulled Tang Yue in front of him.

"Ah..." Tang Yue was startled. She lay on the bed and looked at Lin Ran and said, "What are you doing, you little pervert?"

Lin Ran said with a wicked smile: "What are you talking about?"
