This was different from a normal woman's postpartum confinement period. Mu Fei said that clams need to go into the water, who can stop them?

"I, this..." Tan Xiao said forget it, "Stop fishing, let's go back and eat. We got a case."

If they kept fishing, the fishing uncles would cry from the sourness.

Hearing this, Mu Fei quickly put away the fishing rod. She couldn't eat that many fish anyway, only keeping a few. The other fishing uncles watched enviously and tried to grab Tan Xiao's hand, asking him: "Are you still accepting disciples? What exactly do you use for bait?"

Tan Xiao couldn't say, and fled in defeat. They all returned to the inn together. On the way, Mu Fei listened to Tan Xiao recount what had happened earlier.

"Okay, I'll put out a notice in the group. Or if we finish early today, we can go directly to his house and take a look," Mu Fei said.

They went back and had a full fish feast. In the afternoon, at the auspicious time Barry had selected, Pan Longxiang led everyone into Mount Qiyun.

"In the mountains, everyone pay attention to the grass markers," Pan Longxiang wove some thatch grass, "These grass markers are signs the mountain people use to remind each other. For example, if you see grass markers in an area with tall and dense vegetation, be careful, there may be danger here, like traps, venomous snakes, etc."

This simple method has been used since ancient times. People who don't know might miss the warning. Everyone nodded upon hearing this. This is the benefit of having a local guide.

Climbing Mount Qiyun, Barry surveyed the mountain range and said, "This Mount Qiyun, along with the Ghost Baby Ridge and Jiuyi Mountains that Zhao Qishan mentioned before, actually all belong to the Nanling mountain system. Are you all familiar with Nanling?"

Tan Xiao looked at Kong Xuan.

Being looked at by him, Kong Xuan almost reflexively said, "Nanling is like the 'Qinling' of the north, an important geographical dividing line in southern China. It runs east to west and blocks most of the northwest monsoon..."

Barry: "???"

That's not what I meant.

Tan Xiao awkwardly said, "The dragon veins of the world originate from the Kunlun Mountains, branching out from west of the Kunlun to the world. From the Tanggula Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, and Miao Ridge all the way south to the Central Plains is the Nanling, one of the southern dragon branches of the Kunlun mountain range."

Kong Xuan: "............"

This was the answer Barry was expecting. He was shocked by Kong Xuan's answer, looking at Tan Xiao uncomprehendingly. What exactly did the Peacock God experience after descending to the mortal world...

To be honest, Tan Xiao also didn't expect Kong Xuan to give such an answer. "Uh, but the Great God also answered very correctly! Such great progress!"

Kong Xuan was also speechless. Just blame Tan Xiao, too many pop quizzes usually...!

"Hmph." Kong Xuan looked at the mountain's terrain. "The vitality here is even more abundant now." Compared to the last time they came.

Tan Xiao took a look. "It seems so."

As a folk shaman, Pan Longxiang's greatest strength was that he didn't like to speak ambiguously.

He wasn't a specialist in looking at dragon veins, but as a local, he said as a matter of course, "Whether this dragon vein is alive or not, just look at the qi. What is qi? Isn't it just the ecological environment, resource development and such? We are now protecting the mountains and planting forests, the scenery is better than in earlier years.

"Last time you came was the off-season, now it's almost peak season. With more people rafting, the qi is more abundant. Speaking of which, you also brought a lot of people here to fish, contributing to the increase in vitality of this dragon vein!"

Tan Xiao: "...Well said, well said."

What Pan Longxiang said also had some truth to it. At least Mount Qiyun was indeed attracting more wealth now.

Mu Fei thought of something. "Haha, don't let Xiong Hui hear this, otherwise, not to mention persuading you, he'll probably persuade you to find a dragon vein treasure cave to relocate ancestral graves."

Tan Xiao: "..."

It was too much like something Xiong Hui would do.

Barry, on the other hand, looked pensive. He cast a hexagram on the spot. After looking at the hexagram image, he exclaimed in surprise, "Before, when I cast hexagrams to divine the whereabouts of that Yorkshire Terrier or the sniper, the hexagrams all indicated that they were hard to find, with the deity transforming into a ghost. This time, borrowing the vitality here for the hexagram, the deity is actually in the outer trigram."

Everyone heard this and crowded around to look.

"This, the official is thriving and active, the descendant is unrestrained, indicating that the Yorkshire Terrier is moving around? Still difficult to find." Mu Fei was dejected for a second. "But this is a big improvement, and it also shows that the Yorkshire Terrier has been to Nanchu, and even stayed in Mount Qiyun."

Kong Xuan took a look. "Using this place as a cave dwelling?"

"This kind of modern monster, it's unlikely to find a cave dwelling like in the past. Just like Ah Jin back then, he didn't go to the mountains either, but found a funeral parlor." Tan Xiao felt that the Yorkshire Terrier might even prefer a pet park. "But maybe it came to Mount Qiyun to hunt. There are many deep mountain monsters." Just don't know if it's still in the Chu region now.

The hexagram showed that it was wandering. As long as a dog isn't tied up, don't they all run around? With the speed of a Huodou, roaming a few hundred miles is not a big deal. It's not strange for it to come to the Chu region either. Two Huodous were caught in Nanchu because of the Emperor's Essence.

It would be good if it was still here, they could fish for the dog again.

"Well, anyway, it most likely committed crimes in Mount Qiyun, greatly narrowing the scope. And after the warning, everyone's vigilance has increased. Even if it's in the Chu region, its success rate definitely won't be as high as before."

Mu Fei recorded it. Next, they could visit the humans and non-humans of Mount Qiyun, using methods like setting up altars and summoning to search for related clues.

Barry and the others' needle-in-a-haystack, searching-the-world-for-a-Yorkshire-Terrier finally had some progress.

Tan Xiao looked at the vast Mount Qiyun mountain range, with misty clouds floating in the depths. The observation work ended here.

After such a trip to Mount Qiyun, it was already evening by the time they descended the mountain.

Zhao Qishan had been waiting anxiously at the inn. Seeing their figures, he quickly stood up. "Heavens, you're finally back!"

"Ah right, almost forgot about you." Barry rubbed his brow, remembering something. "Director Mu, then I'll go with Mr. Xu?"

Because he had taken on the matter in the beginning, he suggested that Mu Fei go back to lead the investigation work, while he and Mr. Xu would go and resolve it.

"Wait, you said before that this ghost baby takes people to Mount Qiyun at night, which means it has also been wandering around Mount Qiyun recently. Isn't it one of the targets we need to visit?" Mu Fei pondered. "I'll make a phone call to arrange the work, and we can work overtime together to catch this thing."

This visitation work was also very tedious. The movements of the demon tribes were erratic, their personalities vastly different, just making appointments with them was difficult enough.

Mu Fei instructed her subordinates, each taking on their respective tasks. Pan Dao Gong could ask his shaman friends in various villages, some went to follow up on leads, some set up altars to perform rituals, while Mu Fei, Barry, Mr. Xu, Tan Xiao, and Kong Xuan formed a small team to stake out the "ghost soldiers" at Zhao Qishan's house.

Fang Zhu was sent back by Mu Fei.

"I've pretty much recovered," Fang Zhu was still very eager to make contributions.

"It doesn't matter how recovered you are, there are already enough people, not even enough seats in the car," Mu Fei said, counting for herself. Barry and Mr. Xu were partners now, part of the task force, so they definitely had to go. Mu Fei was the person in charge of the Nanchu office, no need to even mention.

As for Tan Xiao and Kong Xuan...

Fang Zhu glanced over, really not daring to tell them to get out so he could get in the car.

He took out Mu Zhenzhu and handed it to Mu Fei: "Then take her with you." Their daughter making contributions was the same.

Mu Fei tossed it, throwing it to Tan Xiao's hands, Mu Fei style childcare, in her hands for a total of less than three seconds: "Get to work."

Tan Xiao accurately caught it, looking at it under the light. Previously Mu Zhenzhu was premature, now having absorbed enough moonlight, her "pearl luster" was even more apparent.

Tan Xiao couldn't help but say to Kong Xuan: "Isn't she also a type of innate magic treasure, born to be used as a weapon, this faint luster... it's really beautiful."

No wonder some pearls could sell for such high prices, and Mu Zhenzhu really had spirit, slightly rolling on her own in his palm, as if she understood the praise.

Hearing this, Kong Xuan's expression turned a bit strange...

Pan Longxiang stood at the entrance of the inn, directing Mr. Xu to back up the car. Zhao Qishan also sat in the car, he was eager to get home. A passing villager greeted Pan Longxiang: "Uncle Long, have you eaten? You eat quite well."

"Yeah, I ate," Pan Longxiang responded. Actually, after they came down the mountain, lunch was no longer as hearty, just casually making do, mainly because Mu Fei and the others were in a hurry to go into the city to investigate.

"Your newly renovated inn is really nice too, must have cost a lot of money, right?" the villager exclaimed in admiration. "I could see it from far away, your son is really willing to spend."

What new renovation?

Pan Longxiang had a completely baffled look, where was his inn newly renovated, it hadn't been touched at all.

Hearing this, Mr. Xu stuck his head out the car window and looked back, his mouth immediately falling open.

Pan Longxiang also scratched his head in confusion and turned around, only to see five-colored light columns rising to the sky from his backyard, drifting in the night, even more brilliant than the sunset glow, a bit like lasers, just the colors were more dazzling.

The villager was still saying: "...What kind of lights are you using exactly, they're even better looking than some of the light shows I've seen in big cities, soft yet very eye-catching, like they're floating, hmm... really nice!"

He also didn't know too many descriptive words, anyway he just kept praising how beautiful it was.

Pan Longxiang and Mr. Xu's eyes were about to split open, what was this!!

"F-five-colored divine light!" Mr. Xu managed to squeeze out, the two looking at each other even more horrified. The Peacock God had actually unleashed the five-colored divine light, what on earth happened inside while they came out to move the car.

"You stay here and don't come in!" the two hastily instructed Zhao Qishan in the car.

Pan Longxiang didn't care about the villagers and rushed into the inn to take a look in the backyard.

Kong Xuan raised his head, facing everyone's terrified gazes with a very ordinary look: "What's wrong with me airing out my feathers a bit?"

That five-colored divine light was clearly radiating from behind Kong Xuan, but it didn't seem to be displaying any combat abilities, as if it was just emitting light...?

This five-colored divine light was divided into five colors corresponding to the five elements. As the divine light circulated, it was just like Kong Xuan himself, with both inner and outer qualities, both martial prowess and good looks.

Mu Zhenzhu's faint, single-colored pearl luster paled in comparison to the five-colored divine light.

What innate magic treasure's pearl luster could look better than his five-colored divine light!

Tan Xiao slightly averted his gaze. It was beautiful indeed, but a bit frightening. Mainly, the others almost thought Kong Xuan unleashed a weapon and was about to go berserk. Spirits like Barry even had weak legs, nearly fainting.

Seeing Tan Xiao's gaze shift, Kong Xuan immediately moved along with it, standing right in front of him as if nothing happened.
