The southern mountains rolled in undulating waves, shrouded in mist, resembling a mysterious fairyland. Su Mu and Ye Qiu, following the vague notes of Old Wang, arrived in this mountainous region to search for the ancient tomb that might hold the secret of the "Soul Mirror."
"The south is so vast; where should we start looking?" Ye Qiu gazed at the endless mountains, feeling a sense of bewilderment.
Su Mu smiled confidently and took out three ancient bronze coins. "Don't worry, I have a method." He focused his mind again, silently reciting a mantra, and tossed the coins onto the ground.
"Gen represents the mountain, Xun represents the wind, Kan represents water..." Su Mu carefully observed the hexagram. "Gen above and Xun below indicate Mountain Wind Gu. The hexagram shows that we need to head northwest to find a place with a feng shui pattern of 'mountains surrounding water.'"
Although Ye Qiu still didn't fully understand Su Mu's divination skills, her previous experiences led her to trust him. The two followed the guidance of the hexagram and proceeded northwest.
The mountain path was rugged and overgrown with thorns. After several days of travel, Ye Qiu was exhausted. "Su Mu, how much longer do we have to walk? Is this hexagram really reliable?"
Su Mu did not answer; he simply continued forward in silence. He believed in the guidance of the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Canon" and his own judgment.
After walking for half a day, they suddenly found themselves in a clearing. A valley appeared before them, surrounded by mountains, with a clear stream winding through its bottom—truly a feng shui treasure land of "mountains embracing water."
"This is it!" Su Mu pointed at the valley.
Ye Qiu followed Su Mu's point direction and saw a collapsed ancient tomb faintly visible within the valley. The inscription on the tombstone was already blurred, but she could vaguely make out the character for "Tang."
"It really is an ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty!" Ye Qiu exclaimed.
The two approached the tomb and examined it closely. The entrance had been sealed by dirt, but Su Mu quickly located it using the dragon-seeking techniques recorded in the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Canon."
Once inside the tomb, Su Mu cast another hexagram to deduce the location of the "Soul Mirror." The hexagram indicated that the "Soul Mirror" lay within the stone coffin of the main burial chamber.
Opening the stone coffin, they found nothing but bones inside, with only a bronze mirror tightly grasped in the skeleton's hand.
"That's it!" Ye Qiu immediately recognized the "Soul Mirror" wrapped in red cloth.
Su Mu carefully took out the ancient mirror and uncovered the red cloth, revealing a strange glow emanating from the mirror in the dimly lit tomb.
Once again, Su Mu employed the secret techniques from the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual" to restore the scenes that the "Soul Mirror" had once witnessed.
It turned out that after Old Wang obtained the "Soul Mirror," he used it every night to gaze into his own soul, hoping to uncover the mysteries of life and death. However, the "Soul Mirror" had absorbed too many souls, becoming filled with malevolent energy, which ultimately backfired on Old Wang, leading to his shattered soul and demise.
With the truth revealed, Ye Qiu was thoroughly convinced of Su Mu's divination skills. "Su Mu, your divination is truly amazing!"
Su Mu smiled, saying, "It's all thanks to the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual."
"From now on, let's work together!" Ye Qiu's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Your divination combined with my detective experience will surely solve more bizarre cases!"
Su Mu nodded in agreement. After returning to the city, Ye Qiu handed over the "Soul Mirror" to the national cultural relics department. This antique filled with supernatural elements was ultimately sealed in a special vault to prevent it from causing harm again.
The case of Old Wang was thus solved, deepening Ye Qiu's admiration for Su Mu. To her, Su Mu's medical skills and divination were nothing short of miraculous.
"Su Mu, are you really planning to open a clinic?" One day, Ye Qiu visited Su Mu's residence and curiously asked, "With your abilities, you could do so much more."
Su Mu smiled as he diagnosed a patient and replied, "Helping others and curing illnesses is also a very meaningful endeavor."
"But your divination..." Ye Qiu wanted to say more but was interrupted by Su Mu.
"Divination is merely an aid; medicine is the foundation," Su Mu said. "Besides, I prefer a peaceful life."
Ye Qiu understood Su Mu's perspective, but she couldn't help feeling a sense of regret. In her eyes, Su Mu's abilities shouldn't be buried in a small clinic or spent as an intern in a hospital.
"However," Su Mu paused and continued, "if I encounter some special cases, I would still be happy to help."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu's eyes lit up. "Really? That's wonderful!"
Just then, Ye Qiu's phone rang. It was a call from the bureau, informing her of a new case that needed her attention.
"What kind of case is it?" Ye Qiu asked as she answered the call.
"It's a bizarre missing person case," came her colleague's anxious voice on the other end. "A young woman suddenly disappeared in the city center square. The surveillance footage shows that she just... vanished into thin air!"
"Vanished into thin air?" Ye Qiu's heart raced at this, reminding her of Old Wang's case.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu turned to Su Mu, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Su Mu, it seems we need to collaborate again."
Su Mu smiled and stood up to grab his medical kit. "Let's go."
The two of them stepped out of their residence, heading towards the new mystery. What challenges awaited them? What truths would be uncovered? A new journey was about to begin...
