After hearing what Lin Shuangmu said, Yun Qi also said thoughtfully: "That makes sense. Let's go and test whether the peach tree has become a spirit."
Jiang Zhi thought about it and responded, "Okay."
After all, it is impossible to find the right direction in investigating a case all at once.
However, Jiang Zhi looked at Lin Shuangmu and said leisurely, "You didn't just want to go see the peach tree, and investigating the case was just an excuse, right?"
When investigating a missing girl case, shouldn't the first thing to do be to check out the place where the girl disappeared, and also find out the identity of the missing girl? So Lin Shuangmu simply wanted to see the peach tree.
Lin Shuangmu said seriously: "I didn't say that!"
Yun Qi said, "It's impossible to solve the case in one go. It's okay to go and take a look."
"Yes, yes." Lin Shuangmu nodded quickly in response.
"Let's go." Jiang Zhi smiled.
Liang Sheng remained silent and followed Jiang Zhi all the time.
Except for returning to the room, Liang Sheng really followed Jiang Zhi closely.
When Jiang Zhi left, he would still turn around and say, "Let's go, Liang Sheng."
Those green eyes were silent and dead, but when they looked at Jiang Zhi, there was a hint of brilliance in them.
Liangsheng nodded.
The four of them soon arrived under the peach tree.
This peach tree is indeed very tall and lush, even larger than ordinary peach trees.
Just like a tall and dense banyan tree, if it weren’t for the clusters of pink and white peach petals, one would really think it was a banyan tree.
Under the peach tree is a patch of peach petals, spread on the ground in a dense layer. When the wind blows, the pink and white sea of flowers will spin, and the petals of the peach tree will inadvertently fall down, which is beautiful and pretty.
The fragrance of peach blossoms floats past your nose with the wind, it is elegant and pleasant, with a soft and refreshing scent with a hint of sweetness, it smells very good.
There are many golden bells, red paper strips, and mulberry wood sticks with tassel pendants hung on the peach tree. When the wind blows, there is a crisp sound of tinkling bells and the mulberry wood sticks colliding with each other.
At night, the lanterns around here are bright, and the peach trees are also hung with bright orange and yellow lanterns. It is really beautiful.
The old lady who was selling mulberry wood sticks at the stall nearby asked with a smile: "Girls, are you here to pray for marriage? Here are some mulberry wood sticks for praying. You can pray for your wish to come true."
There are four of us, and it's hard for one of us to like someone.
After all, they are monks, not ordinary people.
The lives of monks are so long that love is not an important pursuit for them.
And they are still so young.
Lin Shuangmu thought of something and touched Jiang Zhi with his shoulder: "Hey, don't you like Brother Xie? It's just right for you to ask for a marriage."
Jiang Zhi also reacted, oh yes, she had someone she liked and she almost forgot about it.
"You don't have to pray for marriage, you can pray for family, friendship, or friendship between a junior and a junior." The old woman laughed again, "All good things are worth praying for."
Jiang Zhi bought four mulberry wood sticks and handed them to Yunqi, Lin Shuangmu, and Liangsheng.
"Okay, take it. Do you hear me? It's not necessarily love." Jiang Zhi said slowly.
Yun Qi paused and took it, and Lin Shuangmu and Liang Sheng also took it.
Yunqi had never had this feeling in her previous experiences. For example, if she was investigating something, she would just keep investigating it and would not waste time on these little things like this.
She would never indulge her junior sisters and brothers in doing such unimportant things before.
However, Jiang Zhi was not her fellow junior sister, so she couldn't say much.
Yun Qi was silent for a moment and then handed the mulberry stick back: "I don't need it. You guys take it. You can pray one more time."
Jiang Zhi reached out and pushed her arm back: "It's okay, it's okay. This mulberry wood stick is also very beautiful. You can take it back and collect it."
Lin Shuangmu also responded: "Yes, Senior Sister Yun, it's okay, just keep it."
Yun Qi was silent for a moment, but still accepted it.
Lin Shuangmu used his spiritual power to write his wish on the mulberry wood stick.
Jiang Zhi took the mulberry wood stick and without thinking, he used his spiritual power to write two words.
After Lin Shuangmu finished writing with his spiritual power, he threw it onto the peach tree.
Her wish was simple: May the path of cultivating immortals flourish! Jiang Zhi also casually threw the mulberry stick up and hung it on the peach branch.
Lin Shuangmu asked curiously, "Have you promised to marry Senior Brother Xie?"
"Yes." Jiang Zhi's expression was rich, "I hope that one day I can become a friend with Xie Yu and spend the rest of my life together."
Yunqi had already gone to check the peach tree while they were writing on the mulberry wood slips.
She used a little spiritual power and slapped the tree trunk with her palm, but apart from shaking off some peach petals, there was no other reaction.
It is rare for plants to become monsters, but it does exist.
It is often difficult to detect when a plant has turned into a monster. The only way to know is to attack it and see if it will fight back.

Yun Qi didn't use much spiritual power. After all, this tree was Bai Mucheng's living signboard, and she absolutely couldn't just pull out this peach tree.
She just attacked to observe the trees' subtle reactions and see if there was anything unusual.
She looked around but found nothing unusual. It might be that the peach tree was too good at hiding, or it might be that her attack was not enough.
Yunqi used her sword to dig up some soil and carefully observe the roots of the peach tree on the ground.
If one really kills someone and sucks their blood, the color of the root veins will definitely be the color of human blood.
She dug away the soil and saw only pure white roots stained with some wet mud.
She slowly retracted her sword. No matter whether this peach tree was a spirit or not, it had never killed anyone.
Yunqi walked back to Jiang Zhi and told her about her discovery.
Jiang Zhi was not surprised and said, "The girl's disappearance should have nothing to do with this peach tree."
Lin Shuangmu sighed: "It seems that I guessed wrong."
"It's okay." Jiang Zhi said casually.
"Let's go back." Yun Qi said slowly.
The three of them walked back.
On that peach tree, in a lush and hidden place where no one can see it.
A branch hooked Jiang Zhi's mulberry wood stick and came to see.
It says: "No Wish"
This has nothing to do with what Jiang Zhi just said about wanting to become a Taoist partner with Xie Yu.
He also picked up Lin Shuangmu's mulberry wood stick and saw the words that expressed hope that his path to cultivating immortals would prosper.
After a while, he continued to be quiet.
There are many people who come here to pray, and he has seen all kinds of them, but this is the first time he has seen someone who has no wishes.
The girl was also full of lies. She said she liked the guy, but she wrote "no wish" on the mulberry wood stick.
He sank into his own darkness, his roots spreading deeper.
There was once a girl who said she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
But she lied to him.
That kind and pure soul was gradually betrayed by others and went to extremes.
The hustle and bustle of the night market is still lively, and the bamboo boards and bells on the peach trees are still ringing in the wind.
