Chapter 337 Is it clean?
"No?" Chen Xing stopped chewing the beef jerky and said to Jiang Yao, "Take a closer look. I found it this morning next to the footprints you left in the forest."
"No." Jiang Yao answered confidently, "I didn't bring my wallet last night, and I don't have any copper coins on me."
She tilted her head and looked at Chen Xing: "I was always in the tree and never got down to the ground, so where did the footprints come from?"
"Ah?" Chen Xing opened his mouth slightly, "But I only detected one presence. Could there be someone else in the forest?"
"It's not me." Jiang Yao withdrew her gaze from Chen Xing. "I have Shadow Moon Gu. You can't find me with your inner strength."
Feng Jing pondered this with great fear: "So there were two people in the woods across the street last night?"
Jiang Yao shook her head: "I didn't see anyone."
"Wait a minute." Lu Fei was confused by these people. "Let me sort it out first."
He looked at Chen Xing and asked, "Did you feel there was only one presence in the forest across from you last night?"
Chen Xing nodded.
He looked at Jiang Yao again: "The footprints are not yours, the copper coins are not yours. You have the Shadow Moon Gu on your body so Chen Xing can't find you, but you didn't find the other person?"
Jiang Yao paused before nodding.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why their words didn't match?
Feng Jing muttered, "Could this second person be a ghost?"
Chu Liuzheng said, "It might be the whistleblower."
"But only Doctor Feng heard the whistle. Neither Chen Xing nor Master Jiang heard it." Zhou Yuande was listening next to Chu Liuzheng when he reported just now, so he raised doubts.
Chen Xing glanced at Feng Jing: "Maybe Doctor Feng is hallucinating."
"I really heard it." Feng Jing raised his hand to assure everyone, "It's definitely not an illusion."
"What's going on?" Lu Fei was completely confused and subconsciously looked at Xiao Jingfan.
Xiao Jingfan frowned and thought.
Chu Liuzheng was definitely not guessing just now. The second person should be the whistleblower, but how did the whistleblower do it and what is his real identity?
"I understand." Chen Xing suddenly spoke, and everyone looked over.
Chen Xing analyzed in a crisp voice: "Both Abbey Master Jiang and I have internal energy, but Doctor Feng does not. Perhaps only those without internal energy can hear the whistle."
Her words leaned towards the second person in the forest, the whistleblower.
Siyue asked in confusion, "Then why didn't Abbey Master Jiang notice that the whistleblower was also in the forest?"
"Well..." Chen Xing scratched his cheek, his eyes rolling around, and smiled awkwardly, "I haven't figured it out yet."
Everyone: “…”
[I have placed high hopes on Chenxing. Sigh, I'll do it.]
"Is it possible that Master Jiang discovered it, but she herself doesn't know it?" Chu Liuzheng cleared his throat and made a guess.
Lu Fei frowned: "Since you have discovered it, why don't you know it?" This is clearly a paradox.
Chu Liuzheng said, "If Abbey Master Jiang discovered a human, she would naturally know, but what if that human was a tapeworm in her perception?"
Everyone: ???
I can understand each word individually, but why can't I understand them when put together?
Chu Liuzheng looked at Jiang Yao and said, "Tong Niang told me that although Abbot Jiang has internal strength, due to a habit he developed since childhood, he relies on the Shadow Moon Gu to sense the aura of people around him except when the Shadow Moon Gu is dormant. Is that true or not?"
Jiang Yao nodded.
Chu Liuzheng was really worried that she would ask Tong Niang why she told her this, so he quickly asked, "Master Jiang, can you tell me how many different auras the Shadow Moon Gu can sense?"
"Roughly speaking, there are three categories." Jiang Yao vaguely guessed the answer and answered simply, "One is humans, one is living things, and one is dead things."
She stared at Chu Liuzheng: "You mean, the Shadow Moon Gu sensed the breath of a second person, but the Shadow Moon Gu didn't realize he was a human?"
Chu Liuzheng nodded. That was what she meant.
According to the information she just integrated from the system, the whistleblower should have been stuck in this bug.
"This explains everything." Lu Fei suddenly realized.
The others also understood, and Xiao Jingfan rarely praised him, "Smart."
[Hey, a tyrant actually praises people.]
Chu Liuzheng's eyes curved. "This servant is just guessing. I don't know if it's correct. I don't deserve your majesty's praise."
Xiao Jingfan said generously: "Go back and see the reward."
【Wow, the boss is in a good mood.】
Chu Liuzheng quickly thanked for the reward.
At this moment, Jiang Yao suddenly said, "Tong Niang couldn't possibly tell you about the Shadow Moon Gu. Where did you hear that from?"
Oh wow!
Chu Liuzheng's face froze. Why did he ask anyway?
She calmed herself down and said, "Tong Niang is loyal to you, so she wouldn't tell me this on her own initiative. I guessed it based on what she said."
Jiang Yao was determined to get to the bottom of this matter, so she immediately asked, "What did you say?"
How am I supposed to write this? Tongniang is still alive. I can't use the "no evidence" approach.
[Alas! As expected, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. If I had known this, I would have let you guys scratch your heads slowly.]
Chu Liuzheng regretted it, but now was not the time to regret it. She was racking her brains to come up with a lie when she suddenly heard Xiao Jingfan say, "Let's talk about this later. I still have something to ask you."
Chu Liuzheng's eyes lit up.
【嘤~Timely rain! 】
Although Jiang Yao wanted to know what Tong Niang had said to Chu Liuzheng, she thought that she could ask Tong Niang in person after the discussion was settled, so she didn't care too much and nodded to Xiao Jingfan.
Xiao Jingfan asked, "Do you know the identity of the whistleblower?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they are the people Yin Lanci left in Longkou Town. Only they can ripen the insect eggs." Jiang Yao said, "But they hid too well. I've been in Longkou Town for so long and haven't found any trace of them."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingfan's face showed a thoughtful look, and he asked again: "Are there many people like Wu Mian in Longkou Town?"
"At least half." Jiang Yao frowned slightly, "Those insect eggs are not cleaned out."
Lu Fei was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Jiang Yao said, "Even after clearing it, it still appears. I've tried many times, but it doesn't work."
"Ah! There's something I forgot to tell you!" Chen Xing suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
She said quickly, "I heard from the innkeeper that he saw with his own eyes that after the innkeeper drank the holy water given by Abbey Master Jiang, he vomited out a lot of round objects the size of rice grains, and some of them were even moving."
When Chu Liuzheng thought of that scene, his stomach twitched. He swallowed several times but still couldn't hold it in. He stood up and ran to the side to retch.
She is afraid that the shadow of insect eggs will never go away in her life.
Chen Xing hurriedly picked up the water bag and went over to take care of it.
Xiao Jingfan frowned slightly, and his eyes moved over and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
"Disgusting." Feng Jing answered consciously and looked up at him.
What I mean is, Chu Liuzheng vomited like that, anyone with eyes can see it, so is there any need to ask?
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Of course he wasn't asking that!
Zhou Yuande tried to comfort his Majesty: "Miss Chenxing is taking care of us, so we should be alright."
