Chapter 148 Want to Destroy the Spirit Vein
After leaving the space, Shen Baisu went directly to find Elder Xia.

"Young friend Shen, you've arrived?"

"Huh? Why are you alone? Where's Yan Qing? And where's young friend Feng?"

After greeting Shen Baisu, Old Xia suddenly realized that Shen Baisu had come alone, so he immediately asked her about the whereabouts of Feng Yin and Xia Yanqing.

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu replied directly, "They had something to attend to and left first." After saying that, she immediately asked Elder Xia what she wanted to know, "Elder Xia, if Xia Yanqing can find out, can you also find out?"

Old Xia was somewhat puzzled by her question, but he still nodded to Shen Baisu.

Upon seeing this, Shen Baisu immediately took out her notebook and wrote down several place names for Elder Xia. After finishing, she tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Elder Xia, saying, "Could you please try to find out if people from neighboring countries frequently visit these places?"

Old Xia took the paper from Shen Baisu and glanced at it, discovering that most of the areas were national protected scenic spots.

“These are all scenic areas, so there must be people from other countries coming and going, including many from neighboring countries.”

"By the way, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Shen Baisu: "I need your help to check if they have done anything unusual in these places, such as strange activities or strange rituals."

After listening, Old Xia seemed to realize something. His expression suddenly became serious. He carefully examined several places on the paper and then said to Shen Baisu, "I will have someone investigate right away."

After saying that, he took a picture of the place name on the paper and sent it directly to his assistant, also sending him a message to check it immediately.

After sending the message, Elder Xia looked at Shen Baisu and asked, "Is what you want to investigate related to this epidemic?"

Shen Baisu nodded to Xia Lao, "There is some connection."

Old Xia: "I don't know about the ceremonies and strange activities you just mentioned. But in Beicheng, people from neighboring countries organize enthusiasts to hold parades here almost every year."

"It's happened several times this year too."

After listening, Shen Baisu asked directly, "Is the activity area around Cangbei Snow Mountain?"

Old Xia immediately nodded, "Yes, you've heard of it too?"

Shen Baisu shook her head. "No, I was just guessing."

Old Xia's expression suddenly turned serious. "A guess? Is there any basis for it?"

Shen Baisu nodded to Xia Lao, "Indeed."

Old Xia's heart skipped a beat. He stared intently at Shen Baisu, waiting for her to continue.

Shen Baisu didn't rush to explain, but instead asked Elder Xia, "Are there any videos of their event?"

Old Xia said uncertainly, "I'm not sure, but it should be available online."

After listening, Shen Baisu immediately took out her phone and started searching. In the end, she actually found the relevant video online.

"Young friend Shen, is there a problem with this event? Also, what is the well-founded guess you just mentioned?" Old Xia, who had been standing to the side for a while, couldn't help but ask Shen Baisu.

However, after asking the question, before Shen Baisu could answer, Old Xia added, "Did they use this event to cast a curse or something on the people of Beicheng?"

As a researcher, Professor Xia has never believed in such things.

However, he has already met cultivators and believed Shen Baisu and the others that the patient was under a spell, so believing in another curse in the world isn't too much, is it?

Upon hearing Elder Xia's words, Shen Baisu shook her head immediately, "No."

Seeing this, Old Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Baisu had already finished watching the video. She looked at Elder Xia and continued, "Elder Xia should know how important the Cangbei Snow Mountain is to the Xia Kingdom, right?" Elder Xia nodded repeatedly, "Of course I know."

"The Cangbei Snow Mountain is the northernmost high mountain in the Xia Kingdom. It is a natural barrier for the Xia Kingdom, blocking countless enemy invasions for us. Moreover, it has also protected the northern city from countless cold..."

Just as Elder Xia was about to write an 800-word essay praising the Cangbei Snow Mountain, Shen Baisu interrupted him directly, "Ahem, that's not what I wanted to say."

Old Xia stopped talking and stood quietly, waiting for Shen Baisu to speak again.

Shen Baisu: "Does Elder Xia know about spiritual veins?"

"Spiritual veins?" After reading it aloud, Elder Xia shook his head at Shen Baisu. "Is it something related to cultivation?"

He had heard some things about cultivation, and it seemed that they always talked about spiritual roots and spiritual energy. He figured that spiritual veins must also be related to cultivation.

After hearing Elder Xia's question, Shen Baisu nodded thoughtfully, "You could say that."

"However, it is not only related to cultivation, but also to the fortune of the country. Perhaps you will understand it better if you call it the dragon vein."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xia nodded to Shen Baisu, "I know about dragon veins, so, are spiritual veins the dragon veins of a country?"

Shen Baisu: "Pretty much."

"The Cangbei Snow Mountain is one of the spiritual veins of the Xia Kingdom. Their procession around the Cangbei Snow Mountain is actually to complete some kind of ritual. Combined with the formation set up on the snow mountain by the four sorcerers captured today, it will eventually form a new formation."

"I was wondering why they gathered vitality on the snow-capped mountains but didn't use it. It turns out they did use it, but they just haven't officially started using it yet."

"They want to use the opportunity of life to break through the natural formation protecting the spiritual vein, and then destroy the spiritual vein, thereby affecting the fortune of the Xia Kingdom."

After hearing this, Old Xia was so angry he almost spit fire. "Those sons of bitches! How dare they..."

Old Xia, a refined and cheerful old man, was so angry that he started swearing, uttering the most vulgar words he had ever used.

Finally, because he suddenly realized there was a young girl in front of him, and considering that he shouldn't offend Shen Baisu's ears, Old Xia stopped talking.

"Well, young friend Shen, how's the situation now? Their plan failed, didn't it? Are our spiritual veins alright?"

After calming down, Elder Xia immediately inquired about the condition of the spiritual vein.

Shen Baisu shook his head at Elder Xia, "We discovered it early; their formation was only half activated, and the spiritual veins were not damaged."

After hearing this, Old Xia breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

"Damn it! They..." Old Xia wanted to curse a few more times, but when he saw Shen Baisu standing in front of him, he held back.

Thinking of what Shen Baisu had asked him to investigate earlier, Elder Xia immediately asked again, "Were those places you asked me to investigate also locations of spiritual veins? Is it possible that those spiritual veins have also been destroyed?"

Shen Baisu nodded.

Old Xia panicked immediately. "Such an important matter must be investigated as soon as possible. No, I have to urge them. Never mind, I'll personally supervise their investigation."

"Young friend Shen, wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as I've finished my investigation."

The nearly seventy-year-old man suddenly became incredibly agile and quickly disappeared from Shen Baisu's sight.

Not long after Old Master Xia left, Xia Yanqing rushed in, accompanied by Xia Anhe.

“Miss Shen, I have already reported the situation here, and I have also brought the person to guide you.” As she spoke, Xia Yanqing pointed to Xia Anhe standing next to her, “Captain An, you two just met. She studied in a neighboring country and is very familiar with it. Would it be alright if she guided you?”

Shen Baisu: "I think we don't need to go to the neighboring country."

Xia Yanqing and Xia Anhe: ?
