After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

The matter of replacing the stable boy has been solved, although compared to the whole mystery, only the clues of the case have been found so far.

But Princess Yucheng's mood had obviously improved a lot. After all, there was no problem with the secret agent, which had relieved most of her pressure.

She felt that the rest was just a matter of time, and she believed in Li Bi's ability as Di Renjie's disciple.

When they come back, they will definitely bring her new clues and solve all the problems.

"You should stay here for now and comfort him. Then you can go back to Chang'an to report for duty tomorrow morning."

Princess Yucheng looked at Li Ji, who was still kneeling in the backyard, digging the ground frantically with his hands, intending to dig out his wife's corpse with his own hands.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, then left Su Qinchao behind and took the others away overnight.

The one who suffered the most in this incident was Li Ji. Not only was he imprisoned for unknown reasons, but he also lost his wife from his childhood.

As an old friend, Su Qinchao naturally felt sad when he saw him in such a miserable state after losing his beloved. He also had a wife. If... Bah! He shouldn't even think about it.

Therefore, after helping Li Ji take good care of his wife and placing her in the newly arranged mourning hall, Su Qinchao stayed with him patiently and comforted him all night.

It was not until 1:15 am the next day, when he had to leave, that he patted Li Ji on the back, sighed, and prepared to ride away.

He planned to come back after his shift today. Li Ji's appearance really made him feel uneasy.

He comforted Li Ji all night yesterday, but Li Ji didn't respond at all. He just kept crying. Sigh, it's really...

Or he should ask someone to ask for leave for him, Su Qinchao was very hesitant. Soon the gentry from the county would come to pay their respects, so how could he stay like this?

"Brother Su, please go. You have already accompanied me all night yesterday. I understand it in my heart, but I couldn't say it at that time." Li Ji raised his red eyes, and tears rolled down.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to cheer up for the children..."

...

Li Bi returned seven days later, two days earlier than the time written in Princess Yucheng's decree.

However, he came back not because the case was investigated, but because he wanted to request a new decree.

"You mean you suspect there is another person offering divinations on the other side of Mount Tai?" Princess Yucheng stood up suddenly, staring at Li Bi who was standing on the jade steps with frosty eyes.

This is no small matter. In this Qian Gua, so many children have been murdered. If there is another one, wouldn't it be...

"Yes, because it is too far, that is why I want to come back and ask for orders." After Li Bi finished speaking, he took off the bag on his back, took out a thick stack of memorials and presented them respectfully.

These are all the clues to the case he collected this time, including the doubts and speculations he had discussed with several of his coroners.

Five days ago, when he led his men to the canyon in Fufeng, he was shocked by the scene in the valley.

In the center of the canyon, countless corpses of all sizes were arranged to form a huge Qian Gua, which pierced their eye sockets fiercely.

They were all parents, and they were heartbroken. To kill so many children, all so young, only a madman could do that.

However, after he carefully examined the corpses and the situation in the entire canyon, he found that this case might be more complicated than he had imagined.

Especially what Gao Chongwen said unintentionally afterwards made them even more shocked.

At that time, he and his coroners were checking the various characteristics and details of the corpse and making a careful record.

Because there were so many corpses and each one took a lot of time, they were very busy.

Only Gao Chongwen, because he was only responsible for protecting them, was always paying attention to the movements everywhere. After all, there were still many ferocious beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants in the deep mountains.

However, at three quarters after noon, they suddenly heard Gao Chongwen scream, and thought that some ferocious beast was coming and they needed to hide.

When I looked up, I found that a beam of light was slowly refracting from the top of Mount Tai, through layers of obstacles, and shining squarely on these corpses, fitting perfectly with unexpected precision.

"It's so bizarre! I even drew it!" Li Bi reached out and took a piece of brown paper and opened it. It really did depict the scene in detail:

“That beam of light was clearly projected from the top of Mount Tai, maybe it was because of the trees, the distance between the canyons, etc.

What a coincidence that the hexagram of the corpses formed a Qian hexagram, and according to Gao Chongwen, it lasted for three quarters of an hour.

"Really?" Su Qinchao, who was standing aside, was very surprised, because even when the Internet was so developed in his previous life, he had never heard of such a strange thing.

"Then how do you know that there is another person offering the divination?" Princess Yucheng walked down the jade steps, took the information from Li Bi's hand, and looked at it carefully.

“It was Gao Chongwen who said at the time, ‘One gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things,’ just like the ancients did in sacrifice.

We didn't take it seriously at the time until the next morning, when we checked all the bodies and discovered that there were exactly 81 boys and 81 girls.

These infinite numbers just correspond to this hexagram, which reminds us of a famous legend in Mount Tai."

"What legend?" Su Qinchao took over the conversation.

"Legend has it that the Lord of Mount Tai is the deity who controls the three realms of heaven, earth and man, and is the place where the souls of the deceased reside. If someone wants to recall the souls of the deceased, someone must make a sacrifice in exchange.

Because a person's soul is made up of three souls and seven spirits, the more people who offer sacrifices, the greater the success rate..." As he spoke, Li Bi opened another book and handed it over.

The above records in detail the sacrifices to the Lord of Mount Tai, and many of the details match up, but it does not mention whether the sacrifices need to be arranged in the shape of a hexagram.

"What does the other hexagram have to do with human sacrifice?" Princess Yucheng raised her eyes from the memorial.

“I was just about to say this. I have studied Qi Men Dun Jia a little bit, and I made some deductions at that time, and I found that this Qian Gua happened to be sitting on the Sheng Men.

You must know that if there is a door of life, there must be a door of death. Qian represents the sky and Kun represents the earth, and they are born in opposition to each other.

It is only because of this that I have boldly speculated that there is another Kun hexagram made by a child on the other side of Mount Tai!"

This is why he suddenly came back to ask for orders. He is the county magistrate of Chang'an and cannot leave his post without permission.

This time he went to Fufeng on the order of Princess Yucheng, and there was a time limit.

But if he wanted to go around to the other side of Mount Tai, he would need to ask for another letter.

He hadn't encountered such an elusive case for a long time, and it made the blood in his body burn.
