Chapter 753 A Sudden Clue

Jie Sanbao stared blankly at Lin Zhao for a long time, "What are you saying? I don't remember any of it."

My face immediately darkened. Jie Yueling was erasing clues about herself. Even if we rushed to the lumberyard right now, it would be too late. The result of our going there would either be falling into a confusing maze or returning empty-handed.

If that's the case, Jie Yueling probably doesn't want us to find her in a short period of time. What is she planning to do?

I pondered, "Ye Yang, has there been any special day or celestial phenomenon recently?"

"No!" Ye Yang shook his head, "The day of extreme Yin just passed not long ago. Celestial phenomena can't erupt so frequently."

"Moreover, I've also roughly observed the earth veins here on the map. Not only is there no dragon vein, but there's also no grand feng shui formation. It's unlikely that Jie Yueling is waiting for changes in the earth veins."

Ye Yang paused, "If the fifteenth day of the lunar month counts as special, then the day after tomorrow will be the fifteenth, a full moon. Jie Yueling's name has the character 'moon' in it. Could she be related to the full moon in some way?"

"That's not reliable!" I shook my head. "There are many people with 'moon' in their names. We even have Zhao Yuezhu in our family! That's not a solid lead."

As I spoke, I looked at Jie Sanbao.

Actually, I have another way, which is to force Jie Yueling to come out herself.

As my hand quietly reached for the snake venom steel needle in my pocket, Ye Yang suddenly grabbed my wrist and shook his head slightly at me.

Jie Sanbao is our client from Liangjie Tang.

Attacking a client is a major taboo in the arts. Not to mention whether the ghosts and gods who witnessed the contract would come looking for trouble, once the news of my attack on Jie Sanbao spread, Liangjie Tang would immediately become the target of public criticism.

At that time, even if I wanted to lead Liangjie Tang out of the martial world, some opponents might not allow us to leave peacefully.

Liangjie Tang consists of more than just me and Ye Yang.

I released the strength in my hand and said expressionlessly, "Let's find a place to stay first. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

Jie Sanbao had specifically set up an office in the county near the lumberyard to facilitate the reception of his expedition team. It was perfect for arranging accommodation for us.

I had just laid down when Lin Zhao sneaked in, "Li Po, did you deliberately pretend to poison Jie Sanbao during the day to force Jie Yueling out?"

"Yes!" I nodded, "It seems I have no other choice now. I can only try to trick her."

Lin Zhao said, "Have you considered that Jie Yueling might use the saying 'A gentleman can be deceived by principle' against you?"

"You say you 'can betray the world,' but in reality, you have your bottom line. Dragging Jie Sanbao into the business is your limit. You won't target Jie Sanbao."

"Jie Yueling knows this very well. Therefore, she won't come out."

I took a deep breath and said, "What are you trying to say?"

"I want..." Lin Zhao looked at me and said, "I want to try entering Jie Sanbao's soul."

I suddenly looked at Lin Zhao, "How confident are you?"

"I don't know!" Lin Zhao said, "I have to try to find out!"

Before I could speak, Ye Yang said, "No way!"

I followed up with, "No, it's too dangerous. I don't want to keep an idiot in Liangjie Tang. If you fail, I'll find a remote place and sell you to a local old bachelor to carry on his family line. Anyway, you'll be stupid, so you won't know what pain is."

Just as Lin Zhao was about to hit someone in anger, I suddenly heard Jie Sanbao in the bathroom say, "Red peaks at sunrise, mountains red at sunset."

I suddenly looked towards the bathroom. The bathroom door slowly opened from the inside out, with Jie Sanbao blocking the doorway with his back to us.

Ye Yang and I simultaneously moved to the left and right, looking into the bathroom through the gap between Jie Sanbao and the door. As soon as my gaze landed on the mirror on the sink, I saw a red shadow flash past in the mirror.

The other party was so fast that it escaped my ghost eyes.

Jie Sanbao, who was standing at the door, fell backwards to the ground. Lin Zhao stepped forward to support Jie Sanbao and dragged him onto the bed.

Ye Yang and I looked at the bathroom mirror at the same time, "The position of the mirror is wrong. The mirror wasn't here when we first came."

There are two taboos when installing a mirror in the bathroom: one is not to face the door directly, and the other is not to face the toilet directly. The mirror is always placed slightly off to the side.

The toilet is a place of filth, and there are also feng shui considerations. In particular, it should not be built in an inauspicious position; otherwise, the resulting ominous signs will be extremely terrifying. More importantly, the toilet is built in the northeast, which is the position of the rear ghost gate, which is equivalent to opening a door for ghosts, and will inevitably lead to ominous signs.

Mirrors can ward off evil spirits, but they can also attract them.

If the position of the toilet is wrong, and there is also a mirror facing the door, someone might see something when they open the door to use the toilet. They might see someone standing in the mirror to greet you, or they might see someone following you in.

If the mirror is facing the toilet, when the person using the toilet wants to get up, they might see a hand pressing down on their head.
