Chapter 10 Kill two birds with one stone
When Wen Guying asked Li Chuan to stay vigil with him, Li Chuan realized that the Taoist priest must have seen something in him.
I don’t know if he saw that he was not the original Li Chuan, or if he just noticed that he had dealt with Chicken Demon Gong Er.
Li Chuan was very calm.
Time travel was not what he wanted.
It was not his initiative to be kidnapped by a monster.
Even if you find out that he is not who you are, if you can, change him back and send him back to modern times. When he returned to the construction site, he immediately built a golden body for the Taoist priest and provided him with a flame-melted ruby every month.
If only I could see that he had dealt with monsters.
That would be easier. Just ask the Taoist priest to help eliminate the evil power. It would be even better if he could give you some medicine to strengthen your body.
After dinner, Zhang Yuanwai took his family to live somewhere else. Only Li Chuan and Wen Guying were left in the huge house.
The two of them stayed in the side hall.
It was completely dark, and everything inside and outside the house was eerily quiet.
Only the ruby on the hilt reflects the light of the candle and shines particularly brightly in the dark night.
Li Chuan saw his face reflected on the gemstone. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a wide face. It was a little familiar, but also a little strange. Compared with his face in memory, he was younger and thinner.
It turns out he looks like this now.
Li Chuan looked away and said, "Will the chicken demon really come tonight?"
Wen Guying smiled, "Isn't Brother Li the clearest about this?"
Li Chuan smiled and said: "A few days ago, I did meet a chicken demon and a crab demon. They tied me up and wanted to feed me to the Black-Horned King in Xuanshui Mountain. "
Wen Guying had a look of surprise on his face and said, "That day I saw Brother Li riding on a crab, and the chicken demon cut off the queen for you. I thought these two little demons were Brother Li's demons. Servant. Is Brother Li actually kidnapped?”
After hearing what Wen Guying said, Li Chuan understood that he had only seen him and Gong Er Pang San together a few days ago, and had not noticed it. This body has changed its core.
Li Chuan was a little disappointed.
He simply told the process of being kidnapped, meeting the fox demon, and finally escaping. Finally, he said: "When I saw the Taoist priest's sword just now, I understood that it was the Taoist priest who saved the little boy that day. But Yi Xing was kidnapped by a monster and it was difficult to tell outsiders, so he didn't recognize the Taoist priest at the dinner table just now."
Wen Guying was a little surprised when he heard this, "I didn't expect Brother Li to watch. Wen Wen was able to escape from the monsters by outsmarting them. Amazing, amazing!"
Li Chuan said: "Those two little monsters must have just opened their wits, so they were able to be fooled by me."
Wen Guying said: "Brother Li, there is no need to be humble. When ordinary people see monsters, when they panic, even if they have a lot of strength, they only have three points left. Brother Li is so calm, which shows that he will do a lot in the future."
< br>
Li Chuan was silent for a moment.
The scholar Li Chuan was scared to death.
He said: "When I am scared, I will think about what else I can do in this situation. After focusing on what I can do, I will no longer be afraid."
Listen When Li Chuan said this, Wen Guying was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something and asked: "Did you just say that you saw the fox holding the book upside down?"
Li Chuan nodded, "Yes."
"So you can see the title of the book?"
Li Chuan admitted honestly and said, "Yes."
Wen Guying asked: "Then what is the title of the book you saw?" Li Chuan replied: "The title of the book is "The Classic of Patterns."
Then, he saw Wen Guying nodding his head, with the same expression on his face, and said: "It turns out that the book You were chosen! ”
Seeing Li Chuan's confusion, Wen Guying explained to him: "That red-haired beast pretended to come to Sishen Palace to listen to lectures, but took advantage of the shift change in the library to sneak in and steal the books. I am I chased it all the way here for this book.”
It turns out to be the collection of books in the Four Gods Palace.
Li Chuan was very kind and said: "I changed my clothes before I came out today and put the books at home. Early tomorrow morning, I will go back to get the books and return them to the Taoist priest."
He had no idea about the book.
First of all, he is a bad student.
Secondly, there must be many people coveting the collection of books in the Four Gods Palace. He really doesn’t want to deal with monsters and ghosts anymore.
Unexpectedly, Wen Guying said: "For those who have no destiny, if they get this book, they will just read a wordless heavenly book. If you can see the title of the book, it means that you are the one who is destined for this book. It’s time you got it.”
Then he explained the origin of this book to Li Chuan, “The Book of Patterns is said to have been written by the ancient immortal Tiansu. He believed that pattern is the heaven and earth. The original image of all things, once you master the pattern, you can borrow the power of all things."
Li Chuan became even more frightened.
He quickly put his identity as a scholar to use: "I am a scholar, and I aspire to study and become an official. This book is like a pearl covered in dust here. I also asked Daoist Wen to take the book back. Wait for the next one.”
Wen Guying looked at Li Chuan quietly for a while and asked: "Brother Li, what are you worried about?"
Li Chuan was still calm, "Taoist Master, I am afraid of death."
None The moonlit night was very dark, and the wind was blowing in waves.
The shadow of the candle flickered on Wen Guying's face.
Li Chuan laughed when he saw him and said: "Brother Li, don't worry, although the book "The Classic of Patterns" is precious, it will not invite others to snatch it."
Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying suspiciously.
Wen Guying stood up and moved the food prepared by Zhang Yuanwai to the table. He divided the glasses and poured the wine. He said: "Come on, come on, have something to eat. Let's take our time. Chatting. "
While eating and drinking, Wen Guying explained: "There are currently 17 recorded descendants of the "Wen Jing", and all of these 17 people have a life span of more than 80, and they all died well. "< br>
Wen Guying said: "There are very few people who can read the words in the "Classic of Patterns". It is said that because the words are obscure and difficult to understand, even if you can see the words, you can understand the meaning and use them. There are even fewer people.
Only a few of the 17 recorded descendants have learned the work part, that is, they have learned how to repair the damaged 'patterns', and the classic part has been borrowed. No one has learned the power of all things so far.”
Li Chuan nodded as he listened. The part he had read before was about how to repair patterns, and there were indeed many words on it that he did not recognize.
Wen Guying continued, "We cultivators seek to be promoted to immortality and attain the Tao. However, although the heirs of the "Wen Jing" have a respected status, they have no chance of immortality in the Tao. That red-haired beast, If he had known that he had stolen such a book, he might have thrown it aside and fled for his life. "
Wen Guying said it honestly, and Li Chuan felt relieved.
After relaxing, Li Chuan asked: "Where is the fox now?"
Wen Guying said: "I stabbed him to death with a sword. The fur was sorted and sold in the market. Got ten taels of silver.”
"..."
Wen Guying patted Li Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, should you feel at ease now?"
