Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If you want to guess where the strange fish hid the ruler wood, you must figure out the psychology of the strange fish before it died. It is relatively easy to figure out the thoughts of humans, because most of the human thoughts are similar, but the strange fish is not human.  , its thinking is definitely different from that of humans.

    After a brief pause, Mo Wen identified this strange fish as a loyal minister of the South China Sea. The reason for this identification was that it performed the mission alone, and whether it came under orders or volunteered, it can be determined that it is a loyal minister.  If it were not a loyal minister, it would not take the initiative to ask for help. If it was not a loyal minister, Nanhai would not send it alone.

    In addition, the reason why it is determined that it came alone is because stealing is different from robbing. Stealing must be secretive. If a large group of people were sent from Nanhai, it would not be stealing but robbing. Chimu is extremely important to the Dragon Clan.  Donghai will definitely protect it with all his strength, so snatching it is absolutely impossible.

    After identifying the strange fish as a loyal minister of the South China Sea, we can infer its psychology and actions according to the psychology of a loyal minister. In order to complete the task, the loyal minister will definitely go all out, even if he loses his life. Driven by this mentality  Next, while hiding Chimu, the strange fish will definitely leave clues for Nanhai to find in the future.

    After several months, Nanhai has not come, which shows that the strange fish has not yet cultivated to the point where its soul is still there, and cannot use its soul to report back. The clues left behind can only be the clues that the dragon tribe of Nanhai can feel after they come here.

    Thinking of this, Mo Wen suddenly thought that this strange fish had no inner elixir, but its skull was intact. From this, it can be inferred that its inner elixir was not taken away by the giant horseshoe crab, but was spit out on its own.  Because it vomited out the inner elixir, it was unable to suppress the worsening injuries, leading to a quick death.  The purpose of it spitting out the inner elixir is self-evident, in order to lead the way for the South China Sea Dragon Clan who came to look for it, and guide them to find Chi Mu smoothly.

    In other words, as long as you find the inner elixir of the strange fish, you can find the ruler wood.

    Although this has been deduced, it is still very difficult to actually implement it, because before the monster fish dies, in order to prevent the giant horseshoe crab and the East China Sea dragons from finding Chimu based on its inner alchemy breath, it will definitely try to find ways to spit out the inner alchemy to guide the way.  It weakens the outward dispersion of the inner elixir's aura, making it invisible to the dragons of the East China Sea and detectable by the dragons of the South China Sea.

    To do this, we must start from the five elements attributes of the East China Sea Dragon Clan and the South China Sea Dragon Clan. The East China Sea Dragon Clan's five elements are wood, and the South China Sea Dragon Clan's five elements are fire. If we want the East China Sea Dragon Clan to be unable to detect it but the South China Sea Dragon Clan can detect it, the strange fish must find a  Plant a five-element thing as a cover. This five-element thing cannot be wood or fire.

    After deducting these two types, only water, earth, and gold are left.  Water is excluded first because it conflicts with the fire element of the Nanhai Dragon Clan. If it is hidden in the water, the Nanhai Dragon Clan will not be able to sense it.  Earth is also excluded, because wood invisibly overcomes earth. If it is hidden in the earth, the East China Sea Dragon Clan can be keenly aware of its inner elixir.  The most likely one is gold. Among the five elements, metal defeats wood. If it is hidden in a metal container, it can avoid the perception of the East China Sea Dragon Clan.  Among the five elements, fire defeats metal and is hidden in a metal container. The fire dragon in the South China Sea can ignore the metal container, keenly detect its inner elixir, and find the ruler wood placed with the inner elixir according to the guidance of the inner elixir.

    In addition, the metal container can also block the breath of the wooden ruler, so that the East China Sea Dragon Clan cannot sense the inner elixir breath and the wood breath of the ruler.

    With this thought in his mind, Mo Wen came to the final conclusion that Chimu was hidden in the metal vessel by the strange fish.

    Although he came to the conclusion, Mo Wen felt uneasy because he had never dealt with the strange fish and did not know whether it was fully enlightened. If it was a dull fool, then all previous inferences would be in vain.

    But after thinking about it, Mo Wen was convinced that his deduction was correct, because when the Nanhai Dragon Clan sends people to carry out important tasks, they will definitely choose smart and brave subordinates, and it is impossible to send out a fool.  You must know that if the theft fails, it will be a very embarrassing thing.

    After confirming that the ruler wood was hidden in the metal artifacts, the scope of the search was greatly reduced. First, it could be excluded in the wild. At this time, copper and iron were controlled by the imperial court. With the massive military expansion in recent years, metal must be even more scarce. No one would abandon metal at will.  Mountain.

    The wilderness is excluded, leaving only the countryside, but the countryside is not right, because the strange fish did not have time to enter the countryside that day. To say the least, even if it bought time to enter the countryside, pushing the door and entering the house would alarm the head of the household. In the world  There is an airtight wall, but there is no mouth that cannot leak secrets. If someone sees it, it will definitely be spread out.

    Excluding the wilderness and the countryside, it seems that the inference has fallen into a deadlock.  But there is an exception to this knot, and that is abandoned houses in villages or abandoned temples or Taoist temples in the wilderness.

    The former possibility must also be ruled out, because it is impossible for abandoned houses in the village to have iron objects, and the owners will not leave metal objects behind when they move.in an abandoned house, otherwise it will be stolen.  Even if the owner's family becomes extinct, there will be no metal utensils left in the house. Which village doesn't have a few rogues who steal the chickens.

    Therefore, there is only one last possibility left, which is that Chimu and Neidan were hidden by the strange fish in metal vessels in abandoned Taoist temples or temples in the wild.

    As long as people can calm down and think quietly and carefully, they can avoid many detours. If it were someone else, they might be chopping trees and moving rocks on the mountain.  It only takes a moment or even half a moment to deny an idea that has not been implemented, but if you want to correct a mistake that has been implemented, it will not only waste people and money, but also take a lot of time. Unfortunately, the world is chaotic, always doing more and thinking less, and unwilling to think forward.  , always blindly testing the road by oneself, leading to frequent detours. Most of his short life is busy making up for the mistakes caused by impulsiveness and lack of consideration.

    After figuring out where Chi Mu might be hiding, Mo Wen opened his eyes.

    It was neither early nor late. At this moment, Lao Wu brought a wooden plate and pushed the door in. "Master, let's eat something."

    Mo Wen glanced at the food on the wooden plate and found that it was still to his appetite, so he made a gesture to Lao Wu. Lao Wu understood and placed the wooden plate on the table.

    Mo Wen took the chopsticks handed over by Lao Wu and took the bowl to eat. In order to greet him and Lao Wu, the Zhao family has been eating dry food instead of gruel these days.

    "Master, is there any clue?" Lao Wu saw that Mo Wen had a good appetite and guessed that he already had a plan to deal with it.

    "It's hard to say." Mo Wen waited for the corn in his mouth to be swallowed completely before he answered. The ancient saying of eating without talking or sleeping is mainly to prevent being choked and to save food. As he grows older, those stereotypes and customs dictate that he  I care less and less.

    "What do you mean it's hard to tell?" Lao Wu picked up the kettle and poured water for Mo Wen.

    "Go and call your father." Mo Wen smiled and waved to Lao Wu.

    Lao Wu knew that Mo Wen was teasing him, but he didn't care. He turned around and went out to call the shop owner.

    After a while, Shopkeeper Zhao arrived. Mo Wen raised his hand to invite him to take a seat. He glanced at Lao Wu again. Lao Wu understood and poured water for Shopkeeper Zhao.

    Mo Wen doesn¡¯t eat all the food when eating. He puts his chopsticks away as soon as he is full, so there are often leftovers. This behavior that seems very wasteful to outsiders is actually for health reasons. Food contains the essence of grains, so if you don¡¯t eat, you will eat it.  Not allowed to live.  However, food also contains grain turbidity. If you are reluctant to throw away the remaining food after you are full, forcing yourself to eat it will increase the turbidity in the body and affect the lungs. Over time, it will inevitably lead to illness.

    Shopkeeper Zhao did not think that Mo Wen was wasting grain and rice. Instead, he saw through this move that Mo Wen had a casual nobility. Nobility comes from wealth. Without wealth as a backing, people would worry about their livelihood all day long.  If you have no time to read or meditate, you will not be able to cultivate noble spirit. At most, you can only cultivate a sour spirit.  Nobleness comes from wealth, growth from edification, and success from the fragrance of books. If the latter two are lacking, nobility will not be born even if the family has a lot of money.

    Mo Wen naturally didn¡¯t know what Shopkeeper Zhao was thinking. After rinsing his mouth, he asked Shopkeeper Zhao, ¡°Excuse me, good man, what Taoist temples are there within a hundred miles of this place?¡±

    "Sir, do you want to ask for help?" Shopkeeper Zhao wanted to say to ask for help, but suddenly he felt that this sentence seemed to be disrespectful, so he changed it to "help."

    "No, it's enough to restrain monsters and be a poor person. There are other reasons for looking for Taoism and temples." After Mo Wen said, he took the pen and ink from the wooden table, "Good people, don't be impatient. Think about it carefully and write it down one by one."

    Lao Wu had a keen eye and took away the wooden plate to make room for shopkeeper Zhao to write.

    Shopkeeper Zhao held the brush in his hand and dipped it in ink to write. He wrote quickly at first, then slowly later. He frowned and recalled from time to time. After a quarter of an hour, he stopped writing and said, "As far as I know, there are only these eight Taoist temples within a hundred miles."

    Mo Wen spoke up and said, "We must also write down the abandoned ones, as well as the earth temple and the mountain temple."

    Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao picked up the pen again and wrote five or six more places. After pondering for a long time, he put down the pen and shook his head, "It's really gone."

    Mo Wen took the rice paper and found that there were fourteen Taoist temples, including the Shanshen Temple and the Earth Temple. Their locations, whether the incense was popular, and the approximate number of people were recorded.

    "Good people, please rest early. Let's go out in the evening." Mo Wen collected the paper and said to shopkeeper Zhao, who agreed and left his seat.

    "Master, what are you going to do?" Lao Wu asked in confusion.

    "The thing that the strange fish stole from the East China Sea is called Chimu. It is a sacred object of the Dragon Clan. It is most likely hidden in the abandoned Taoist temples and temples in the mountains." Mo Wen packed up and walked out.

    Lao Wu raised his filial piety stick, grabbed Mo Wen's long sword, and followed him out.

    "Master, what is the shape of the ruler wood?" Lao Wu asked.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Mo Wen shook his head and said, ¡°Then what????  "Lao Wu waved to his mother-in-law who was cleaning the house. Once engaged, Zhao Yingying will become a member of the Wu family, and Lao Wu will not allow her to come out to greet guests again.

    "I have my own way." Mo Wen raised his hand and said.

    After leaving the house, Mo Wen went straight north. There was an abandoned Taoist temple in the mountains twenty miles away to the north, which was the most likely place.

    Taoist temples and temples are auspicious places when they receive incense, but once abandoned, they become dangerous places, and no one dares to go there.  The Taoist temple in the mountain on the north side is not big, only two acres square. Due to being abandoned for many years, most of the buildings have collapsed, and only half of the main hall is left.

    The two pulled the grass and entered the main hall. They saw that only the clay body was left of the statue. It was impossible to identify which immortal it was enshrined. Since half of the main hall had collapsed, the remaining parts were also affected, and broken bricks and tiles were scattered on the ground.

    "Master, look." Lao Wu squatted down and picked up a piece of broken tiles and handed it to Mo Wen.

    Mo Wen raised his hand to take it, only to see a large area of ??blackened blood on the tiles.

    Mo Wen threw away the broken tile and looked around the hall. He found that there were no incense burners, bowls or other metal objects in the hall. There was only an overturned copper urn on the left side next to the door. This object should have been a Taoist temple's water purifier.

    Mo Wen walked to the copper urn and straightened it up. He saw that there was nothing inside, but there was a heavy fishy smell left in the copper urn. This fishy smell was somewhat similar to the smell of fish bones on the seaside, but it was not exactly the same.

    "Master, what's wrong?" Lao Wu frowned when he saw Mo Wen, and he came over and looked down at the copper urn.

    "Chimu and Neidan were originally in this copper urn, but they have been taken away"
