"Is that girl lying? It's still impossible to determine."

Chen Mu patted the dust off his knees and said lightly, "Do you mind delaying your time? I want to investigate some things, soon."

"good."

Xue Caiqing, who was aroused of interest, nodded slightly.

Through inquiring about the people around, Chen Mu found the mother and daughter who first discovered the "girl's body".

The mother and daughter were residents living nearby and were washing clothes by the river at that time.

At first, they were also scared after seeing the body, but now they learned that the girl was rescued by Chen Mu, their fear was eliminated a lot.

"Where did you find her at that time?"

Chen Mu asked.

The woman in coarse cloth pointed to the east side and replied honestly: "It was floating over there."

"When exactly?"

"It was about four o'clock in the morning (10 o'clock in the morning). My daughter discovered it first, and then we asked someone to carry the girl ashore. After a while, the officials came."

"When you found out, the girl was lying on her back, right?"

"right."

“…”

Chen Mu asked a few more questions and asked the mother and daughter to leave.

He came to the first scene where the girl was carried ashore and found the branches that were floating on the girl's body... to be precise, a large piece of tangled branches.

"The fractured layer of the uppermost branch is new, so it is not soaked in water for a long time, and the lower layer is longer."

Chen Mu checked the branches and said lightly. "This girl is also light enough. She predicted that the cliff was not high at that time. After falling down, she broke a piece of branches and then buffered it and fell on the raft piled up in the water, so she survived by chance."

"In other words, what she told her was very consistent, she did fall off the cliff."

Xue Caiqing said softly.

Chen Mu did not deny: "It did fall from above. Her back had many cracks in her clothes, and the exposed skin was bruised and had been hit. But..."

“But what?”

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, the woman had to ask.

This guy always likes to be seductive.

Chen Mu looked at Huailan River in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Actually, there is a very obvious contradiction. The girl floated from the eastward direction. Judging from the direction of the water flow, it was completely inconsistent with the location of Wushan."

After Chen Mu reminded him, Xue Caiqing was stunned.

yes.

If you follow the current water area, Wushan is located in the water swimming, how can you float over in the opposite direction?

"She is lying to us. She didn't fall from the Wushan cliff at all!"

Xue Caiqing's eyes were burning.

Chen Mu shook his head: "It's really hard to draw a conclusion. After all, that girl is really confused. Perhaps her memory is deviated."

"You are quite protective of her. It seems that it is not unreasonable for the hero to be sad about the beauty."

The woman said calmly.

Chen Mu looked at her in surprise: "You have mocked me a lot today. You probably haven't used this to others. Do you have a preference for me?"

Xue Caiqing did not respond and looked at Wushan in the distance and chose to remain silent.

For those with thick skin, just ignore them.

Chen Mu clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Okay, there's nothing to investigate. We have to go to Hanwu Temple to burn incense. It's not good to waste your time."

...

The two returned to the carriage.

Chen Mu opened the small notebook bound by fine linen: "Continue with the question just now, where have we talked about?"

"Don't know."

The woman shook her head gently.

When Chen Mu saved the girl just now, the two of them had signs of getting closer together, but now they began to get distant again.

Chen Mu was also quite helpless about this.

He turned his eyes and said, "You are quite strong."

"strength?"

Xue Caiqing's apricot eyes emerged.

Chen Mu looked at her with a smile: "Stop disguising it. Although I was saving people at that time, I also noticed that Li Qianhu could not do anything to you at that time."

"Do you think I am a practitioner?"

"Isn't it?"

At first, Chen Mu did not think that Xue Caiqing was a cultivator.

But today the other party's performance made him wonder what this woman's true identity is?

Since you have such strong strength, staying in brothels must have other purposes.

Xue Caiqing said: "Have you heard of meditation?"

Meditation?

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and nodded:

"I know a little, mainly based on the 'Eightfold Path', supplemented by the compassion, joy and giving of the Four Brahmas, the thoughts of the seven enlightenment lines, the selection of Dharma, diligence, and concentration, right?"

“Yes, not.”

Xue Caiqing's tone was calm, "There is a rock outside the Eightfold Path. When meditating here, he is like a rock, his body like a rock, his feelings like a rock, and his heart like a rock..."

"Banshi Xiu?"

Chen Mu seemed to understand something, "You are a Buddhist practitioner, and you are like a rock and rooted in the ground, so Li Qianhu cannot push you away."

"You're not stupid."

Xue Caiqing's eyes showed a smile.

Chen Mu laughed: "You don't have the ability to attack, just like an ordinary woman, but your defense ability is very strong. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are an alternative Vajra indestructible body, but..."

Chen Mu had a strange look: "Women who practice this kind of Buddhist practice should not only have a delicate Buddha heart, but also have different physical structures from others, so... you shouldn't be the legendary 'stone' girl."

The woman looked at him, neither admitting nor denying it.

Chen Mu was quite complicated inside.

"Stone" women are actually not uncommon, they are all in ancient and modern times.

Many of them are caused by gene mutations, which leads to the development of those organs.

Generally, surgery can be corrected.

But in this society, there is no way. Of course, maybe magic can.

"Actually, you have a lot of Buddha nature."

Xue Caiqing's beautiful eyes did not hide her praise, "Maybe one day... you will enter Buddhism and achieve something."

"No, I'm not interested in this."

Chen Mu smiled and said, "As a hooligan, I haven't even played with women enough, but I don't want to be a monk. Isn't it nice to be a world of flowers?"

"A person with desire is like holding a torch against the wind, and he will be in danger of burning his hands."

Xue Caiqing sighed slightly.

Chen Mu was quite unhappy with this and replied, "Since you have the intention to look for Buddha, why don't you go to the nunnery? You have to stay in this place of fireworks."

"I don't want to Buddha."

Looking at the sarcastic look on Chen Mu's face, Xue Caiqing said quietly, "If my heart does not turn into a rock, it will be the same wherever I go. Instead, I can temper it better here."

"Haha, just because of your attitude towards me, your heart will never be able to transform into a rock."

Chen Mu mocked again.

Although the two didn't meet much, he could feel that the woman hated him very much.

And it's the kind that I hate very much.

I don't know why.

The woman was stunned and silent for a long time and said sadly: "You are right. Maybe I am too obsessed with it. After all, you are no longer him."

"What?"

Chen Mu's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

I always feel that this woman is hinting at him.

Xue Caiqing raised his hand lightly and placed it on the veil buckle on the side of his ear. He wanted to take off the veil, but he hesitated for a moment and gave up.

She looked at Chen Mu with a particularly cold look: "Actually, Chen Mu is dead, right?"
