The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 448 Looking for Brother Muzi Li

After experiencing a series of twists and turns like a storm, Lin Ruoxue, Su Yiyun, Li Qingqing, Qiluo and others have become more and more aware that the key to completely uncovering the mystery of their life experience, which is shrouded in fog, is undoubtedly the mysterious Brother Muzi Li. The clues in their hands are like the twinkling stars in the night sky. Although they gradually become more numerous and rich, each clue seems to be led by an invisible hand, pointing unswervingly to this mysterious figure who is like hidden in the depths of the fog - Brother Muzi Li.

It seems that only by finding him can we cut through the tangled mess like a sharp sword, truly push away the layers of fog that are so thick that it makes people breathless, and let the truth that has been buried for a long time be revealed to the world, just like the rising sun dispelling the haze of the night.

So, everyone packed up their bags without hesitation, their movements were quick and resolute. Based on the existing clues, which were as precious as clues but elusive, they resolutely embarked on this journey of searching full of difficulties and dangers. They were like a group of fearless adventurers, knowing that the road ahead was full of thorns and unknown, but still bravely moving forward with hope and firm belief.

They walked along a winding path, which was like a slender snake, moving freely through the dense woods. On both sides of the road were extremely dense woods, with branches and leaves of trees intertwined, as if telling each other an ancient and mysterious story in the woods. The sunlight struggled to shine through the gaps between the layers of dense leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadows, just like the magical painter of nature, using its unique brushstrokes to draw a picture full of fantasy colors on the ground.

However, the crowd had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery along the way. They were as focused as a craftsman carving a rare treasure. Every look and every subtle expression was solemn, as if they were carrying a heavy burden. Every time they arrived at a place, they were like hungry people looking for food, eagerly and carefully asking about the news of Brother Muzi Li.

"Big brother, have you ever heard of a man named Muzi Li? About 20 years ago, he must have done something here." Lin Ruoxue was like a smart little deer, lightly stopping an old man passing by. There was a hint of eager expectation in her tone, and her eyes were fixed on the old man, as if the old man was about to spit out the answer to all the mysteries in the world.

The old man stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly. His cloudy eyes revealed a kind of depth after years of vicissitudes. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Muzi Li? Twenty years ago? Hmm... It seems that there was such a person, but I only heard people talk about him occasionally at that time. I don't know the details. You can go to the town ahead to ask, maybe someone there knows more details." The old man's voice was hoarse after years of precipitation, as if every word carried the stories of those long years in the past.

When Lin Ruoxue and the others heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes. After they hurriedly thanked the old man, they quickened their pace and rushed towards the town ahead like a rocket. Their hurried footsteps raised a cloud of dust along the way, as if they were chasing after the fleeting hope behind them, and if they were a little slow, they would miss it.

The town was bustling with people coming and going, just like densely packed ants moving. The vendors' cries came one after another, and the loud voices intertwined together to form a unique town symphony. As soon as Lin Ruoxue and others entered the town, they quickly divided into several groups, and like well-trained soldiers receiving combat missions, they conducted a carpet-style inquiry in every corner of the town.

Su Yiyun strode into a tavern full of guests drinking and chatting. The strong smell of alcohol mixed with people's laughter and joy filled the air of the tavern. He walked forward, first politely clasped his fists and saluted, the action was neat and tidy, and then asked with a sincere face: "Dear friends in the world, I want to ask about someone. I wonder if you have heard of a big brother named Mu Zili? About 20 years ago, he should have been active around here." His voice was loud and powerful, and it could be clearly heard by everyone in this noisy tavern.

When the people in the tavern heard this, they all looked up at Su Yiyun. One of the bearded men laughed, and the laughter echoed in the tavern like a bell. He said, "Mu Zili? He is a legendary figure! But I haven't heard from him for a long time. What do you want to see him for?" The man's eyes were full of curiosity. He put down the wine glass in his hand and leaned forward slightly, seeming to be very interested in the purpose of Su Yiyun and others.

Su Yiyun was delighted, and he felt as if he had touched the edge of hope. He hurriedly said, "To be honest, we are investigating something, and this Brother Li may be the key figure, so I hope you can tell me something about his whereabouts or related deeds." There was an eagerness in his tone, and his hands unconsciously clasped together, showing his inner tension and expectation.

The big man touched his beard, and his rough fingers shuttled through his beard, making a slight rustling sound. After thinking for a while, he said: "This Mu Zi Li was a chivalrous man in this area in the past, and he was dedicated to fighting for justice. I heard that he was involved in a big dispute in the martial arts world. I don't know what it was exactly. However, I remember that he seemed to often appear in the barren mountain in the west. Maybe you can go there to look for him." The big man's words revealed a kind of recollection of the past. Although he did not know all the details, those few words provided new clues for Su Yiyun and others.

After Su Yiyun thanked him again, he left the tavern like a gust of wind and joined the others. After hearing the news, everyone's eyes flashed with determination, and they decided to immediately go to the barren mountains in the west to explore. That determination seemed to tell all the difficulties and obstacles in the world: no matter how dangerous the front is, they must find Brother Muzi Li and uncover the mystery of his life.
