Chapter 84 Puddle
Wen Guying and Jin Rong immediately surrounded him.
Wen Guying took the toad and checked it carefully, "The stream is right next to Xialin Village. Every family comes here to get water. There are strange ghosts living in the water, and they slowly attach themselves to people... No, No, if that's the case, there shouldn't be a limit of twenty years old."
Then he used his spiritual mind to explore the stream and the surroundings, and said, "Nothing unusual was found. Let's catch a few more first. Just a toad, a fish, a shrimp or something like that?”
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a fish jumped out of the stream and fell directly into his hand.
"Brother Li, come and take a look at this." Wen Guying said.
Li Chuan took it numbly and looked at the sun with a mirror. It was a live fish jumping around.
I didn’t dare to eat it, so I released it.
“Do we have to pass through toads?” Wen Guying caught several more toads.
No problem.
It's too ugly, let it go.
Seeing this, Jin Rong was eager to try, and punched the water, stirring up fish and shrimp.
Lucky than Wen Guying, he discovered that one of the shrimps was a White Walker.
After struggling for a long time, I almost finished making all the living creatures in the stream. I picked out a total of five ghosts, a mandarin fish, two shrimps, and two toads.
"Will the people in Xialin Village gradually become alienated from eating fish and shrimps in the stream?" Li Chuan asked.
"It's hard to say. This still can't explain the problem at the age of twenty," Wen Guying shook his head, "This is probably not the source yet. Let's go further along the stream."
Li Chuan and Jin Rong both agreed.
The stream gushes out from the ground. There is a piece of mud at the source, with many weeds and wild flowers growing there. There are some camphor trees around, and some butterflies have emerged from their cocoons. They are so densely packed that they are attached to the tree trunks. When someone approaches, they will fly up in a flurry.
Wen Guying and Jin Rong used their own methods to investigate.
Although Li Chuan still doesn't understand much, he can see some differences after seeing more. Reviewing the past should mainly use spiritual thoughts to search, while Jin Rong will use many mortal methods.
Li Chuan was responsible for looking around with the demon mirror, and the two men caught many animals for him, which made him deeply feel the richness of species in the forest.
But nothing was found.
The sun was making him a little drowsy.
So he picked up the white ghost shrimp in the fish basket and observed it again.
These three strange ghosts are different from Pan Maguan Mid-Autumn Festival.
Pan Maguan's Mid-Autumn Festival is a seemingly complete and normal soul with insects attached to it, while this little fish, shrimp, and toad has no soul, only insects.
Li Chuan put them back into the fish basket, closed it, and moved his body.
Two butterflies chased and flew before his eyes.
If there is no soul... Li Chuan's eyes moved in the direction of the butterfly, "If you don't have a soul, you will die."
Gong Er and San heard Li Chuan speak.
Gong Er asked: "Brother, what did you say?"
"Second brother, catch some butterflies and bring them over." Li Chuan said.
After hearing this, Gong Er became more energetic and threw himself towards the weeds. After a fuss, he grabbed a butterfly with each claw and flew to Li Chuan.
"Brother, here you go, do you want more?" Gong Er asked.
“Let me take a look first.” Li Chuan took out the demon mirror and looked carefully.
It's a normal butterfly.
Li Chuan asked Gong Er to catch a few more and bring them back.
Oh my god, I’ve poked a hole in the alien den! Three White Walkers at once, all with souls!
Li Chuan quickly told Wen Guying and Jin Rong about his discovery, and then he said: "I guess, just a guess, is there a possibility that the White Walkers are very weak? This weakness means, His parasitic ability is limited, or the conditions are very harsh?"
"How to say?" Wen Guying asked.
"For example, small fish and shrimps that are about to die, insects that are smaller than small fish and shrimps, such as butterflies in the pupa state, are all mushy inside?" Li Chuan said in an uncertain tone. "That makes sense."
They checked the trees around them.
Finally, Wen Guying felt a strange feeling. Following this feeling, they explored forward bit by bit. They found two camphor trees with branches and leaves connected together to form a heart shape. In the heart-shaped recess, there is a pool of water with a white flower growing there.
The petals are very thin, like semi-wet tissue paper, hanging slightly.
Wen Guying breathed a sigh of relief, "I found it, right here."
"Is there something wrong with this flower?" Li Chuan asked.
"Don't look at its true appearance." Wen Guying warned Li Chuan first and then explained, "Your words reminded me that we have been trying to find places with abnormal spiritual power before, so we found nothing. Heart The Abyss is virtual. For our world, the Heart Abyss is a virtual body, not an entity. If the White Walkers are related to the Heart Abyss, it is very likely that it is a virtual state, not an entity, so it can only be parasitic at first. In creatures that are on the verge of death, or between life and death. "What we are looking for is not a place with abnormal spiritual power, but a place where the reality and reality of life and death overlap. It will be easy to find it," Wen Guying praised Li Chuan again, "Thanks to your wonderful idea, otherwise we might have stayed here for half a month and searched every inch of the land with our spiritual thoughts, but we wouldn't have been able to find it. "It's here."
Jin Rong looked at the white flower carefully and asked, "Brother Wen, is this a Changyu flower?"
"That's right." Wen Guying replied, and then he introduced to Li Chuan: "Changyuhua is a flower that grows in the fairy world. If you take it, you can live forever. This seems to be the original place of ascension."
"Eternal life? Really?" Gong Er asked.
"Mortals can't bear the properties of the medicine; if a monk takes it, it can add a hundred years to his life." Wen Guying answered truthfully.
“What to do next?” Li Chuan asked.
Senior Brother Wen replied: "Go back first."
"Go back?" Li Chuan was a little confused. Seeing the truth right in front of you, did you go back?
Senior Brother Wen looked at the sky and said, "The sun is going down. When day and night alternate, reality and reality are most unstable. There will be all kinds of weirdness at night. There are still many mysteries here that remain unsolved. I'm just a person. A two-hundred-year-old monk doesn’t want to become an immortal yet.”
Li Chuan understood and said, “Then let’s come back during the day.”
“I have marked this place immediately. Forbidden, I will borrow a magic weapon tonight and make some preparations, and everything will be safe." Wen Guying calculated the time, "We will come back to explore again in three days."
So Li Chuan greeted. The other two men were busy packing their things.
Suddenly I saw something flashing. Was it a butterfly's wings?
Li Chuan turned around and looked.
The setting sun spreads through the gaps in the leaves, condensing into golden water drops, falling drop by drop, and falling on the tangled branches.
"Brother Li?"
Li Chuan came back to his senses and saw Wen Guying looking at him with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
He related the vision he had seen.
Wen Gu made a quick decision and said to Jin Rong: "Let's go!"
Grabbed Gong Er and Pang San and stuffed him into Li Chuan's arms, grabbed him by the back of his collar and flew upward with his sword. got up.
The wind blew violently on Li Chuan's face. He tried to open his eyes, but maybe he was too close to the sun, and there was a golden light in front of his eyes.
"It's okay, we can run fast." Wen Guying said.
The sword seemed wider than expected, and the wind calmed down.
Standing very steadily.
Gong Er and others crawled out of his hands, and a demon occupied one shoulder
Li Chuan felt a little relieved. He looked around and didn't see Jin Rong. He asked: "Jin Rong Where is brother?"
Wen Guying replied: "Brother Jin is good at escaping from the ground, and he ran down the mountain at this time."
So Li Chuan looked down and seemed to see a black dot running away.
Wen Guying said again: "Brother Li, you can look down now. That's where we left just now." He pointed down far away, "Try to see if you can see its true appearance. . "
Hearing this, Li Chuan blinked hard, and then looked in the direction pointed by Wen Guying. Perhaps it was because Wen Guying had flown too high. When he looked down, he could only see a dark forest submerged in the golden and crimson sunset. After looking carefully for a long time, I finally found the creek, saw the long remaining flowers, and saw the circles of ripples in the puddles.
The ripples opened and closed, as if they were constantly piecing together a pattern.
He felt a little hot in his chest.
It was the "Pattern Sutra" that he used as a protective mirror. After taking it out, the "Pattern Sutra" automatically turned the pages, clattering, and finally stopped on a pattern.
