As a literature enthusiast, Mingmou loves reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," with a passion similar to how a pervy old man loves looking at explicit images.

Therefore, he could recite the story of Cao Cao picking up the flag at Huayang Dao backwards and forwards, and he also felt deep sympathy for it.

However, what he didn't expect was...

That one day he would also hastily pick up a flag and get slapped in the face right there.

Thus, at this moment, the atmosphere in the command center felt slightly awkward.

Finally, it was Lin Lixian who snapped back to reality.

He lightly coughed and said to his assistant Zhang Guanghua:

"Xiaozhang, Teacher Mingmou has been doing the simulation for such a long time, he must be a bit tired. Please take Teacher Mingmou to rest for a bit. If he needs food or therapy, arrange it as well."

Lin Li's tone was very kind, without any trace of anger.

Although he was also a bit surprised by Mingmou's hasty flag collection, it wasn't enough to completely negate Mingmou's simulation.

After all, a simulation is originally a probabilistic event.

If everything could really be calculated, they might as well report him for wall-hacking hacks.

In Damo Realm, fortune-telling is a serious business, not anything sketchy.

Moreover, before Lin Li returned, Mingmou had also done a simulation once, and Zeng Gu Cheng and others had all confirmed that every detail was consistent with his simulated results, so the current accuracy rate is arguably fifty-fifty.

In Lin Li's understanding,

If the Gray Fog Space is indeed, as Zeng Gu Cheng surmised, an information nexus of some parallel universe, then what Mingmou has simulated might be events happening in a parallel universe.

Therefore, Mingmou's failure can only be chalked up to a lack of deep skill, as he didn't capture the truth this time.

After Mingmou was led out of the command center by Zhang Guanghua, Lin Li promptly had Wang Yaohua transfer the signal to the screen in the command center.

Soon, Lin Ziming's somewhat fatigued face appeared on the screen, and it was clear that he hadn't rested well recently:

"Captain Lin, this is Lin Ziming, can you hear me?"

Lin Li waved at him with a smile and said:

"Colonel Lin, the signal is normal, you've worked hard these past few days. By the way, I heard the team has a new discovery?"

At the same time, three hundred kilometers away.

Lin Ziming was leading a team in a shady spot, leaning against a large rock, communicating with the command center through a relay base station.

Hearing Lin Li's question, Lin Ziming nodded heavily:

"Captain Lin, we've been exploring Qian Gu Mountain for some time now, and today we finally have a new discovery.

Let me first report the situation at Qian Gu Mountain, I always felt this place is a bit strange.

About a week ago, with the assistance of Hu Fei Group's Manager Bu and others, we got a relatively clear understanding of the entirety of Qian Gu Mountain.

The main peak of Qian Gu Mountain is approximately over 2300 meters, surrounded by three auxiliary peaks over 800 meters, and the entire mountain covers an area more than twice that of Xiaolianzi Mountain.

Additionally, the layout of the whole mountain is very strange, with the high peak in the east and the low peak in the west, forming a circular shape when viewed from above, looking like a tall, narrow cylinder with some hollowness inside."

In the command center, Ma Ning, who had just arrived on the scene, stroked his beard and said:

"A height of over 2300 meters? That's not considered a low peak at all..."

Although Ma Ning is a linguist and archaeologist, seemingly having nothing to do with geography,

in actual fact, due to the needs of studying ancient cultures, he is quite familiar with many famous mountains and mountain ranges around the country.

After all, whether it's Daoist culture or Buddhist culture, they are more or less connected to these famous mountains and rivers.

For instance, Emei, Mount Song, Qingcheng, and the Kunlun Sect...

Also, he has occasionally come in contact with ancient enthroning sites like Mount Tai, making him naturally knowledgeable about mountain heights and other related information.

For example, the Lotus Peak of Huang Mountain stands at an elevation of 1864 meters, and Mount Tai is over 1500 meters, etc.

A main peak over 2300 meters.

With favorable enough conditions and some special stories, it could well be considered a famous mountain locally.

Therefore, such a large mountain peak certainly poses a high difficulty for exploration, not to mention the risk of lurking monsters.

In the video, Lin Ziming continued:

"Exploration of such a large peak does indeed present some challenges. Initially, our drones flew several times but couldn't locate Mo Peidong's wife's tomb, although we did spot a few monsters..."

On hearing the words 'monsters,' Lin Li's brows furrowed unconsciously:

"Colonel Lin, you encountered monsters?"

Lin Ziming seemed somewhat excited and replied with a smile:

"We encountered them about five or six times, but these monsters weren't very strong; they couldn't break through our 'one-and-a-half-generation' spiritual energy shield, and we didn't even need Patriarch Wei to take action, we resolved them ourselves."

Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"As long as everyone's okay, Colonel Lin, please continue."

Lin Ziming nodded and continued,

"We spent two days initially using aerial views to search, and with no results, Captain Zhang Yaqing, who accompanied us, suddenly thought of a detail:

Mo Peidong's wife was named Guo Yulian, an illegitimate side daughter from Guo Family Gully, a satellite village of Nanjun City.

Although the Guo Family wasn't powerful, they have a traditional burial custom:

The tomb must be in the shade and close to water.

Even married-out female clan members were required to be buried this way—this custom isn't considered very harsh, as even in the Damo Realm with its three suns, finding a suitable shady side isn't difficult.

So, most married-out women of the Guo clan have records stating something like 'Respect the Guo Clan's law and bury by the mountain's shaded spring.'

Although only Guo Yulian's birth details were recorded in Mo Family's tradition, burial details weren't noted.

Given Mo Peidong and Guo Yulian's deep affection for each other, the possibility of adhering to the Guo tradition is very high."

After hearing this,

Lin Li retrieved a detailed genealogy record from the Mo Family's Library Pavilion and input the keywords 'Nanjun City, Guo Yulian.'

Soon, a record appeared:

"Guo Yulian, the illegitimate daughter from a side branch of Guo Family Gully. Born of a deceased father's illicit relationship, hence often mockingly called 'Illegitimate Daughter from the Guo Family Gully' by peers; later married off to Mo Peidong of Mo clan..."

Lin Li then found the Guo family's family law, proving what Lin Ziming said was indeed true.

"Colonel Lin, please continue."

Lin Ziming nodded and continued:

"Based on the Guo clan's tradition, we devised a plan to search for mountain spring sites on the shaded mountain sides.

Even though mountain springs generally have small flow rates and are hard to locate, when combined with the 'shaded' condition, it's considerably easier than initially anticipated.

We first spent two days using drones to explore the visually clear low peaks on the periphery.

After confirming that there were no mountain springs or tombstones on the shady sides of these low peaks, we focused on the remaining eight auxiliary peaks over two hundred meters tall."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li felt he had already guessed the subsequent events:

"Colonel Lin, exploring these peaks one by one must not have been easy?"

However, unexpectedly, Lin Ziming shook his head:

"Actually, it was quite straightforward. Before exploring, I contacted Director Fei Qiu and had him pick four peaks based on his intuition and then began searching the remaining four peaks—of course, this was more of a fun little game for us, since all the peaks had to be explored anyway, so the order didn't really matter.

But to our surprise..... we found Mo Peidong's wife's tomb on the first mountain we searched.

Some parts of the inscription on the tomb had become illegible over time, but with Patriarch Wei's help, we finally confirmed it. This is indeed Guo Yulian's tomb."

Lin Li felt a momentary shock:

"Eight to four, the odds of fifty-fifty; it should just be a coincidence, right?"

Finally, Ma Ning was the first one to gather his thoughts and said:

"Eight choose four, a fifty-fifty chance, it should just be a coincidence, right?"

Lin Ziming then continued:

"When we opened the tomb, we discovered two pairs of interlocking skeletal hands inside.

By examining the pelvis and other parts, it was determined that one skeleton was female, and the other...

All our tests indicated, based on the left hand holding the sword and other characteristics, that it was consistent with Mo Peidong, and there were no traces of animal bites."
