"Hmph, who has any connection with her?"
"So when the two of us meet, nothing good ever comes of it; that's what the stars are telling us."
Seeing the two women arguing again, Zu An shook his head with a wry smile and wandered around the small temple, looking for any other clues.
When he arrived behind the human-faced, snake-bodied statue, he suddenly paused, exclaiming, "Come here quickly!"
The girls rushed over and were startled by the sight before them, for there was a person hanging there—no, it should be said that there was a statue of a person hanging there.
The statue has a bird's head and a human body, holding a wooden staff. It looks equally ferocious, but at this moment, its face is more contorted and painful, because it is being suspended in a bizarre posture.
With her hands tied behind her back and her hair tied together, her whole body was shaped like a cooked shrimp, but twisted in the opposite direction.
“Look at his right foot.” Yun Jianyue said with a solemn expression, “His right foot has been cut off. This kind of punishment is usually only for the most heinous crimes. Considering his current position of being tied up and hanging, it is very likely that this person has committed a heinous crime.”
"Could it be the missing statue from the front?" Yu Yanluo asked softly.
“It is indeed very possible.” Yan Xuehen nodded. “I just don’t know what its connection is with that Yayu.”
Zu An laughed and said, "Since this temple is here, it must be related to the Yayu. It's just that we don't have enough information to find any connection for the time being. Let's go and look around in other places first."
The three women couldn't help but admire his optimistic attitude. Seeing that they couldn't find any other clues in the temple, they simply put aside their doubts.
The group then searched the mountain thoroughly. The mountain was barren and devoid of any trees, so everything was clearly visible, and they quickly finished their search.
"Where exactly is the Yayu hiding?" Yun Jianyue was a little frustrated, not expecting to get stuck on just the first hurdle.
"Look, there seems to be a river at the foot of the other side of the mountain?" Yu Yanluo suddenly made a discovery.
A thought struck them, and they immediately used their movement techniques to quickly descend the mountain and arrive at the riverbank.
Once you get closer, you realize that this isn't a river at all; it's wider than a major river, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Logically speaking, such a wide riverbed should have a very gentle current, but the river in front of us is extremely turbulent and dangerous.
"There's a stone tablet here!"
Using their divine senses, the group quickly discovered the clues.
Zu An looked at the few lines written on the stone tablet, his expression changing slightly: "The waters are three thousand fathoms deep, even a goose feather cannot float, and reeds will surely sink to the bottom!"
