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

Princess Yucheng did not make a decision immediately, but asked Li Bi to step down for the time being as she needed to think it over carefully.

If this is true, where did so many boys and girls come from? It has been several months, why haven't their parents reported the case yet?

Besides, who was behind this? Since they were able to find the spy they had planted and kill him instead, it must be related to someone in a high position in Chang'an.

As I said last time, because of the late emperor, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an who like to practice Taoism, so it is difficult to check them one by one. We can only wait until we have found all the clues and then follow the clues to find the real one.

"What do you think?" Princess Yucheng looked at Su Qinchao on the side and tapped the clues on the case with her fingers.

Although these clues were specially sorted and organized by Li Bi.

But in her opinion, it was still very complicated, especially when it was mixed with ghosts and gods, as well as hexagrams and other things, which made the whole case even more confusing.

“I think it’s better to let Lieutenant Li set off as soon as possible. Although Lieutenant Li and his men went to Fufeng secretly at night, it was not completely concealed.

The princess also knows that there are many nobles in Chang'an who have great power and are willing to take action. Once the person behind the scenes notices this, they may destroy the clues and hide everything."

Su Qinchao thought about it and expressed his thoughts one by one:

"As for the sacrifice of the Lord of Mount Tai, let's not talk about whether it is true or not, but to gather so many children at the same time and hide them for such a long time is not something that ordinary people can do..."

Su Qinchao also thought of the two previous cases of missing children, although it was later found out that it was the Dangxiang who were responsible.

But is it true that no one here participated in such a thing? Or are they just taking advantage of the situation?

"You are right, but Li Bi came back alone this time. Zhuoguang is a long way away, and I am not sure if I can let him go alone..."

Princess Yucheng nodded slightly. There were people who were good at investigating cases, but they dabbled in everything. Di Renjie's only disciple was Li Bi.

"Your humble servant is willing to accompany County Magistrate Li on this trip." Su Qinchao knew what Princess Yucheng meant, so he took the initiative to bring it up.

"Very good, Li Bi's safety depends entirely on your shoulders." Princess Yucheng smiled and patted his shoulder, which was rare.

...

Before going to Zhuoguang, Su Qinchao first returned to Xiaotang Village. Due to time constraints, he only had time to briefly explain a few words to Yunniang.

He picked up a few sets of clothes he had packed and hurried to the city gate to meet Li Bi who was waiting there.

The road to Zhuoguang was long, and even though they traveled day and night with little rest, it still took them nearly a month to arrive.

Unlike Fufeng Mountain opposite, although Zhuoguang Mountain is also on the Taishan mountain range, compared with Fufeng Mountain, the two are like separated in two worlds.

It was still snowy in Fufeng when they came, but the closer they got to Zhuoguang, the warmer it felt. Along the way, they had already changed two sets of clothes.

"Captain Li, how can you be sure that Kun Gua must be in Zhuoguang?" Su Qinchao pulled the reins and asked curiously as he looked at the Zhuoguang Mountain not far away, which was almost towering into the clouds.

Zhuoguang Mountain is already full of spring colors at this time, with wild flowers all over the mountain and even birds chirping, making it very lively.

In his previous life, Su Qinchao had been obsessed with things like the Tuibei Tu, and sometimes when he was in the mood, he would look up information on the subject.

However, there are few of these things left in modern times, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, so he does not have much knowledge in this area.

Unexpectedly, Li Bi beside him also understood these things. Su Qinchao naturally couldn't help but asked directly.

"General Su, look, there are the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky, which represent the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches." Li Bi led the horse and pointed at the sky full of red clouds above his head.

It was almost evening, and the moon only glimpsed briefly in the sky before shyly hiding in the clouds.

"The trunk is like the trunk of a tree, and the branches are like the branches of a tree. They all have their own directions, and the direction is determined by the handle of the Big Dipper...

Then, with the help of the sixty-four hexagrams, the calculated hexagrams can determine the approximate direction.

Besides, the Qian Gua has already been laid out for us, so it will be easy to predict the Kun Gua..." Li Bi said proudly.

Due to the direction calculated by the hexagram, there will be an error of about one mile.

Therefore, now they only need to climb to the top of Zhuoguang Mountain and wait until the sun comes out tomorrow, and then they can follow the refraction of sunlight to find the position to place the Kun hexagram.

...

To be honest, Zhuoguang Mountain is not easy to climb. Although it is only about 100 meters high, the mountain walls are very steep.

Not only is there no path to be found on the mountain, but even the rocky walls are covered with prickly pine and cypress trees.

"Are you okay?" After climbing for nearly two hours, Su Qin looked at Li Bi worriedly, who was already panting and trembling all over.

At this point they had only climbed more than halfway, and the rest of the mountain road seemed increasingly steep and difficult to walk on.

"Rest... rest for two quarters of an hour before going on." Li Bi held his leg and took a breath, then lowered his head and avoided the pine and cypress trees that were randomly planted around him.

He sat down without caring whether the floor was clean or not.

"Hey, I think the ground is still wet." Su Qinchao looked at Li Bi speechlessly.

It is mainly said that in relatively humid places, there will be things like leeches. He just saw something slithering past.

"It doesn't matter, let me sit first..." Li Bi waved his hand. He just wanted to have a good rest now. He didn't care whether it was wet or not.

"Don't move!" Before he could finish, Su Qinchao shouted in a low voice, then stared straight at Li Bi's shoulder.

A small red snake slowly swam up from behind Li Bi's shoulder, spitting out its tongue from time to time, and its two small fangs shone coldly in the night.

"What's wrong?" After Su Qinchao shouted at him, Li Bi didn't dare to move for a moment, and even his raised hand stopped stiffly in the air.

"There is a snake." Su Qinchao uttered two words softly. He remembered that this thing seemed to be called Chilian and was highly poisonous.

He had just met the snake's eyes and attracted its attention. Now it depended on who was faster!

In a flash, the red snake leaped up and pounced towards Su Qin with its fangs bared at a tricky angle.

"Bang!" In mid-air, Su Qinchao quickly slapped him away with his soft sword.

"Hiss~" The red snake that was slapped to the ground shook its head and felt dizzy for a while.

Then he reacted quickly, and his two red eyes shot two vicious rays at Su Qinchao.

When he tried to make a comeback, Su Qinchao stepped on his vital spot again.

"Why don't you just kill it? Why do you waste so much energy?" Li Bi, who survived the disaster, was full of confusion. This kind of poisonous snake should be cut into pieces directly.

"I heard that poisonous snakes live in groups. I was afraid that if I killed this one, the others would smell the scent and come over."
