Chapter 350: Chapter 347 Dividing the Forces What should be done? According to Song Ye’s fierce temperament, he would definitely investigate thoroughly to seek revenge—as a man should. Qin Liuxi had no intention of getting involved. Her role was to heal the sick, save people, and solve the still unseen Curse Technique. As for determining who was a God or a ghost, that wasn’t in her plans. However, Song Ye kept pressing the question persistently, "Master, would this approach work?" Unable to hold back, Qin Liuxi looked at them and asked, "Speaking of which, when you took your sister out, Wei Caizhou didn’t have any slightest suspicion?" At this time, the Chief Maid said, "These past two days, the master wasn’t home. He went to the Daoist temple to light incense." Song Liu’s face showed some discomfort as she spoke through gritted teeth, "Ever since Chang’er passed away, he has been blaming himself, saying it was all because he didn’t take proper care of the child that led to the loss. He feels guilty inside, so he goes to the White Water Temple in Pu County every month to light incense and listen to scriptures in the Daoist temple." It’s just over two hours by carriage from Chang City to Li City, while Pu County is also three to four hours from Chang City. All are under the jurisdiction of the same government. Qin Liuxi had never heard of Pu County’s White Water Temple, but a Daoist temple, eh? "Daoist temple, General, have you thought of something?" Song Ye’s expression was grim as he spoke, "Could it be that this White Water Temple is where someone is performing that evil magic for him?" "Either there is another family settled in Pu County, taking cover under the pretext of attending the Daoist temple to engage in dishonorable acts, or as you suggested, the one helping him is someone from that White Water Temple." Qin Liuxi tapped the tabletop lightly and said, "To resolve this matter quickly, General, it’s best to split your forces." "What do you suggest, Master?" "I’ll stay out of the investigative matters. Given that it’s still early, could I inquire where the ancestral tomb of the General’s family is located?" Song Ye replied, "I am originally from Ningzhou, and it’s quite coincidental; our family’s ancestral tomb is located less than fifty kilometers from Ningxi Camp, in Huai Village. With a fast horse, we can get there before sunset." He paused, his expression suddenly alarmed, frowning and saying, "You mentioned it was the Suppression Technique, how does it connect to the ancestral tomb now?" "Tampering with the Song Family’s ancestral tomb could lead to the cut off of your family’s lineage. Isn’t that convenient?" Song Ye was utterly shocked! The complexions of both the brother and sister were as unsightly as if they had swallowed excrement. Considering her agreement with Si Lengyue and her own family’s affairs, Qin Liuxi didn’t want to drag out the issue with Song Ye any longer. She decided to head straight for the Song Family’s ancestral tomb. Chen Pi tried to dissuade her by saying, "Master, your leg injury hasn’t healed yet; riding a horse might not be appropriate." "It’s fine; I’m not walking, and it’s almost healed. The sooner this matter is settled, the better, as I have other things to attend to." Qin Liuxi looked at Song Ye and said, "General, let’s set off now!" Song Ye was taken aback again, seeing that she was disregarding her own injury to help first made him feel somewhat guilty. He said, "How about I ride the horse and carry you?" "No need." Seeing her insistence, Song Ye had no other choice. He had Song Liu find an inn to stay in Li City for the time being and not return to Chang City immediately. He then gave orders to several personal soldiers and split forces—some were directed to surround and guard the White Water Temple, others were secretly sent to find Wei Caizhou. As for the rest, they were to detain whoever they could first. Qin Liuxi had Chen Pi bring the two young ones to the shop for cultivation, planning to return to the residence before sunset. She then hurriedly set out with Song Ye. Braving the cold wind while riding fast, she couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed—the shop had just opened, and she was even busier, regretting it a bit! Arriving at the back mountain of Huai Village before sunset, Song Ye led Qin Liuxi there and was the first to leap off the horse. He rubbed his numb hands and turned to look at Qin Liuxi, seeing her still sitting on the horse, he couldn’t help but walk over. "To think that Master is also so skilled in horsemanship," Song Ye’s eyes showed admiration, deeply impressed. At the young age of fifteen or sixteen, not only is her medical skills exceptional, but her Daoist Skill as well. And now, even horseback riding was done without any complaints—truly admirable. "Stop the nonsense and help me down," Qin Liuxi glared at him, mumbling, "My legs are numb." Seeing her showing a gloomy expression, which matched her actual age, Song Ye almost couldn’t help but laugh, and hurriedly helped her dismount from the horseback. Qin Liuxi also loosened her limbs and said, "Lead the way." Seeing her limping, Song Ye said, "Master, you are not very agile on your feet. Let me carry you up the mountain." "General, allow me," said a personal soldier who came along, slinging the pack for the ritual over his shoulder and hastily stepping forward. "No need for you." Song Ye waved his hand and walked over to Qin Liuxi, saying, "The path up the mountain is not easy either." Seeing the sun was about to set, and that it was the easiest time to discover something when evaluating burial sites, Qin Liuxi said, "That’s fine." She climbed onto Song Ye’s back, straightened up, and patted his shoulder: "Let’s go." Song Ye, a martial artist, found it easy to carry Qin Liuxi on his back and headed towards the ancestral grave, while Qin Liuxi on his back was surveying the surrounding scenery. This was a small depression in the hills, with Huai Village at the foot of the mountains. A mountain stream flowed down, merging into a small river encircling Huai Village, then flowing into the farmlands. With the mountains behind and the water in front, the feng shui of Huai Village was not bad. As Song Ye quickened his pace, it took only about a quarter of an hour to arrive at an ancestral hill. "We’re here." Qin Liuxi got down from his back, first looked at the grave from the front, saw the mountain support, then moved behind the grave, standing on high ground and looking left and right, her brows slightly raised. "General, was this ancestral grave site specifically chosen by a magician?" Song Ye nodded: "Originally, our family’s ancestral grave was in the neighboring Fangtun Village. After I made my achievements, I specifically asked a feng shui master to select the site here. It’s this place. Also built an ancestral house in Huai Village, officially settling our ancestral land in Huai. Master, is there anything improper with this treasure cave?" Qin Liuxi shook her head and said, "No, not really. With a mountain behind, Azure Dragon to the left, White Tiger to the right, and a clear frontal view, plus winding water that harbors wind and gathers water, this is indeed a feng shui treasure cave, well chosen." Song Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "So there’s no problem?" Qin Liuxi did not speak but continued to look around, observing the distant and nearby areas. The trees were lush, the wind rose and the woods were clear, and even with the sun slanted to the west, standing here did not feel cold and gloomy. She walked around the main tomb again, looking from every angle, but did not find any major problems. Could she have been mistaken? Song Ye saw that she was silent, his heart lifted again, but seeing her deep in thought, he didn’t dare to ask a single question. Seeing that she hadn’t discovered anything, Qin Liuxi took out a palm-sized golden compass from the pack she was carrying, held the compass and walked around once more, occasionally glancing at the needle of the compass and the magnetic fields - everything was normal. Mistaken? Qin Liuxi didn’t believe in such evil magic and squinted towards the west. The setting sun was about to fall, and she said, "Let’s wait a moment." Seeing this, Song Ye could only take the opportunity to clear the surrounding weeds and wipe the tombstone. Noticing that the base of the tombstone was rather uneven, he straightened it out and pressed it down. Crack. It sounded like something was crushed. Song Ye stiffened. Was there something under the tombstone? He looked towards Qin Liuxi, who walked over: "Move it." Song Ye loosened the base of the tombstone, pulled and lifted it with force, revealing what was hidden underneath. A foul, decaying smell rose to the sky, causing several people to step back.
