After passing Bailuzhou, Lu Mingshu no longer just focused on cultivating all day long. Except for taking turns with Xie Changhui, most of the time he was either looking at the scenery outside or looking at the map. Xie Changhui couldn't help but ask her: "Miss Lu, what's on this map?"
"I'm thinking about terrain," she replied.
In fact, she was trying to model it. This way, she also came from Qingshanzhu, and she also passed by the place Xie Lianzhen passed by. The distance is too long and the terrain is different, which is a very big challenge for her. This kind of model obviously cannot copy the usual habits. The data is too precise, and the brain will not be able to accommodate it. How to choose is a big problem.
She didn't expect to find Xie Lianzhen so soon. He had been missing for several days, and she didn't know if the traces left behind had disappeared. If so, it would be very difficult to search for his traces. You can only try to build a model in your head, walk this road several times, and slowly explore what is wrong.
The light boat drove very fast, and within a few days, it arrived at the section of the waterway where Xie Lianzhen had last disappeared.
This section of the waterway is unremarkable, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is even a straight road. There are a lot of caravans or small boats coming and going every day. Even the slightly more powerful water animals have been cleaned up. No one has ever been heard of missing. No wonder Xie Changhui and the others don't think Xie Lianzhen was killed. snatched.
In fact, when we got here, Xie Changhui still didn't believe it: "Miss Lu, how could the young master disappear here? You see, there are still many people passing by who are in the body training state."
Indeed, in terms of cultivation, Xie Lianzhen, who was almost in a trance, was the most powerful among the people who came and went, but...
"Maybe, he was in danger because of his high cultivation."
Xie Changhui was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head in disbelief: "Who dares to be an enemy of Zhongzhou?" To offend Xie Lianzhen is to offend the princess, and to offend the princess is to offend Zhongzhou. The Zhongzhou imperial court and the Qizhen Temple are originally one, and they also have the enshrinement of Huawujing. It is unwise to be an enemy of it.
Lu Mingshu said: "How do you know that others know his identity?"
"It's impossible not to know, right?" Xie Changhui said, "The origin of the young master's exercises, as long as he has a little understanding of the current situation, it is easy to infer."
"Are you so sure that he will show up as his real identity?"
"..." Xie Changhui glanced at her, not sure what she meant, but he didn't dare to ask directly.
Lu Mingshu stopped talking and continued to look at the terrain.
On the second day of this section of the waterway, Xie Changhui saw the people left behind by Xia Houshan checking the passing ships, so he went over to ask about the situation.
The school looked curiously at Lu Mingshu, who was sitting comfortably on the boat, and murmured to himself, what a beauty, if it wasn't for this, they wouldn't have had to search here for so many days. Immediately cheered up and answered Xie Changhui's question.
After Xie Changhui asked, he returned to the boat.
"How did he say?"
Xie Changhui shook his head: "I got nothing."
Lu Mingshu thought for a while, and beckoned to the little schoolboy.
The little schoolboy jumped onto their light boat with a puzzled face. Because I didn't know how to address it, I just bowed.
"What is the girl's order?"
Lu Mingshu said: "Aside from humans, are there other abnormalities?"
The little school is inexplicable: "You mean..."
"Such as the weather, the environment."
"Weather?" Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "The weather on the Ming River is quite unpredictable, with wind and rain, lightning and thunder from time to time, these are very common."
"Please think again, did the sailors mention it? Anything that sounds completely irrelevant is fine."
Now that she said that, the small school also thought about a few things, such as the boatman complaining about the rapid changes in the weather and the increase in prices.
"Oh, by the way, last time someone said that he encountered a dragon sucking water, but luckily no one was hurt."
Lu Mingshu nodded, and started asking again. She always asked the same question several times, until the school had nothing to say before saying, "I'm in trouble."
The little school bowed his hands and returned to his boat.
When the two boats passed by and were far away, the soldiers on the boat couldn't help but said, "Miss Lu, you don't have a good memory? Why do you ask again and again?"
The little school slapped him across the face, and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, you can also arrange the affairs of the nobleman?"
Xiao Bing was unconvinced: "Isn't it true? Even asking when it will rain, this memory..."
On the light boat, Lu Mingshu said, "We'll also find someone to ask."
"Ask what?" Xie Changhui was a little confused about what she was thinking. Of course, he wouldn't doubt Lu Mingshu's memory. With her insight at the Qilin meeting, no one with a poor memory could do it. But he didn't understand her train of thought. The Xiaoxiao had already made it very clear just now. He even asked a few people since the search, what they looked like, and what they said. They all remembered them clearly. What else is there to ask
"Just ask the questions I asked just now. Weather, environment."
"..."
Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, Xie Changhui did as she said. As Xie Lianzhen's protector, Xie Changhui's ability to execute was beyond doubt. The two stood guard on the waterway, and when a boat passed by, they stopped them for questioning. They are strong and generous, and they are happy to answer questions whether they are caravans or small boats.
How to ask questions, Xie Changhui completely left it to Lu Mingshu, anyway, it didn't work if he asked himself.
For several days, Xie Changhui couldn't hold back anymore.
"Miss Lu, what are you doing?" These days, Lu Mingshu went back and forth, asking those few questions, time, weather, environment...
Lu Mingshu buried his head in writing something, but didn't hear it. It wasn't until I finished writing that I put down my pen that I replied, "I'm sure what happened in those days."
"What happened? Didn't they all say it? There is nothing unusual."
Lu Mingshu dried the ink, and threw the booklet over: "Look for yourself."
Xie Changhui opened the booklet, but saw that it was arranged very neatly, with the time on the left and the weather and conditions on the back.
July 27, cloudy, no change all day. On July 28th, it was raining lightly at Chenshi, and then it turned to heavy rain, with thunder...
Xie Changhui quickly finished flipping through, holding the brochure: "So?"
Lu Mingshu glanced at him: "Didn't everyone say that you are the one who actually handles the affairs of the fifth sect? I really want to doubt the level of the Seven Truths."
The blue veins on Xie Changhui's forehead twitched: "Miss Lu!" Said he was fine, what time is it, do you know if he is in a hurry
Lu Mingshu didn't say any more, motioned him to throw the booklet back, and turned to one of the pages: "Look for yourself."
Xie Changhui took a closer look, but saw that it read: "July 30, Shen Chu, the dragon sucks water."
He was startled: "You doubt..."
"Dragon absorbing water is not common in Beiming, but it has appeared several times recently. Judging from his itinerary, the time and place coincide." Lu Mingshu clicked on the brochure, "We don't need to ask anyone anymore, let's take a look in a few days Can you meet a dragon sucking water?"
