Chapter 86 Running around
Li Chuan and Liu Canjun looked at each other, dumbfounded. After sending Pan Maguan Zhongqiu back to prison, Liu Canjun couldn't help but sigh: "These ghosts are so human-like. Could it be that they pretended to be adults and finally deceived themselves?"
Li Chuan was also puzzled.
The two of them looked over the words they had written down several times, but could not find any loopholes.
Liu Canjun said: "Although Xialin Village is in the mountains, it is not isolated from the world, and its customs are very different from other places in Xiushan County. Therefore, I feel that they are not lying."
"Brother Guan came to Xiushan County in the eleventh year of Tianfu. I found records of demons causing trouble that year. It was a heart-cutting demon that specialized in eating the hearts of young girls. There were also victims in Xialin Village..."
< br>"Heart-cutting demon?" Li Chuan's heart moved.
“The prototype is a koi carp, which usually hides in the water of Qiongdao Lake. After being seen through by an expert, he fled to the southeast and was killed in Xialin Mountain.”
That expert is Guan. Mid-Autumn Festival.
Thinking of this, Li Chuan and Liu Canjun were speechless.
Li Chuan broke the silence first and said, "I would like to ask Brother Guan a few questions alone."
So Guan Zhongqiu was brought up again.
Before Li Chuan spoke, Guan Zhongqiu asked: "Have you found a way to possess a ghost?"
"No." Li Chuan shook his head and asked. He asked what happened in the eleventh year of Tianfu's life, "Did you kill the fish demon in Xialin Mountain?"
"That's right." Guan Zhongqiu replied.
"Where was he killed in Xialin Mountain?"
"In the stream by the village... That's how I recognized Su Niang."
"What special behavior did he have in the stream? "?" Li Chuan asked.
"Special behavior? What do you mean?"
"I don't know. Is there anything that makes you feel special or strange..." Li Chuan didn't know how to describe it.
Guan Zhongqiu began to think deeply, "If I have to say something special, it is that the koi carp has a trace of dragon energy, so it took a lot of effort..."
He then said: "You must have it. You asked me this question if you have any clues. But I don’t know what you are looking for, so I don’t know how to answer it.”
After weighing it, Li Chuan said: “There are no monsters in Xialin Mountain. "
"No demon?" Guan Zhongqiu was also a little surprised.
Li Chuan nodded, "Not even one."
"Only us White Walkers?"
"Yes."
Guan Zhongqiu thought for a moment and said: "The fish demon went to Xialin Mountain. I originally thought it was looking for help. But no monsters came out to help it, maybe..."
"There were monsters in Xialin Mountain?" Li Chuan thought of the answer, and asked again, "How many years has that fish monster been practicing? Could it be a monster from Xialin Mountain?”
“It must have been seven or eight hundred years ago...” Guan Zhongqiu thought for a while and added, “There is no magic weapon and the method is very simple, except for the dragon spirit. He can hide his breath and control water, so he is probably a local monster."
"You can ask the local monsters." A voice interrupted. Li Chuan and Liu Canjun looked up and saw that it was Jin Rong who had returned.
Jin Rong's face was pale and haggard, and he lacked the graceful and elegant demeanor he had on the first day they met.
"Brother Jin, what's wrong with you?" Li Chuan asked hurriedly.
Jin Rong waved his hand and said, "Nothing, just a little tired."
Is it so tiring to search for a village? When I beat up the Lingchuan monks last night, I didn't feel so tired. Could it be that I encountered some ghosts and monsters?
When Li Chuan was about to ask, he saw Jin Rong saying to Guan Zhongqiu: "I searched in the surrounding villages. They said that the people in Xialin Village are simple and loyal. Although they rarely go down the mountain, as neighbors, there are inevitably people. Many contacts. "
"Sometimes they go to the mountains to collect herbs and wild vegetables, and when they meet people from Xialin Village, they will point them to where to look. Sometimes it gets late and there is a heavy rain, so they stay in Xialin Village. They will all be treated well."
Guan Zhongqiu remained silent.
Jin Rong walked up to him, "I went back to the capital last night, met with the master, and finally found out about you."
It turned out that I went back and forth to the capital overnight
Guan Zhongqiu is still gloomy.
Jin Rong said: "I would like to ask Brother Guan to do one more thing before he dies."
"What."
"As a monk Guan, Find out the secret of the White Walkers."
"I have been cooperating with you."
"Not just cooperation. You are the person who is most familiar with Xialin Village and the White Walkers, and you are also the person most likely to find out the truth. Guan Zhongqiu, are you willing?"
Guan Zhongqiu turned his head, " I will do whatever you ask me to do.”
After that, Jin Rong asked Liu Canjun to untie Guan Zhongqiu’s shackles and anklets. Liu Canjun hesitated a little, but when he heard Li Chuan say softly: "These can't lock him," he untied all the restraints on him. Guan Zhongqiu stood up and asked, "What have you found out now?"
Li Chuan told him what he saw and heard yesterday during his investigation of Xialin Village, and his and his others' guesses. Liu Canjun also told him all the potentially useful information he found.
"Can the souls of toads and shrimps be extracted?"
"Are they rejected by their own kind?"
"Are the descendants of the White Walker butterflies the White Walkers?"
< br>"..."
A series of questions confused Li Chuan and Jin Rong.
Li Chuan said: "We haven't had time to study it yet, and as for descendants, we can't have descendants right now, right?"
"Ask Senior Brother Wen, he has a way." After Guan Zhongqiu finished speaking, he added another sentence , "Don't trust Senior Brother Wen too much. He is a good person, but no one can think of what he wants to do before the results come out."
Before Li Chuan and Jin Rong could respond, he spoke vigorously and resolutely He began to direct, "The place where I was about to die was in a cave to the west of Xialin Village. There is a path that leads to it. I should also check there."
He named Li Chuan again, "Heir of "The Classic of Patterns", can you borrow the power of the mountains and forests!"
Li Chuan shook his head.
Guan Zhongqiu took a step back, "Then if you break the ghost's soul, can you mend it again?"
Li Chuan continued to shake his head.
Guan Zhongqiu hates that iron cannot become steel, "You catch these strange ghosts and come back, just do nothing and just raise them?"
"..."
Li Chuanjin After being educated by Guan Zhongqiu, the three members of Rong Liu and the Army all realized their aimlessness and inactivity.
After working diligently all afternoon, when it was time to have dinner, everyone was staring blankly and panting.
They originally invited Guan Zhongqiu to eat together, but Guan Zhongqiu refused and insisted on going back to prison.
So I had to buy food and send it in.
Liu Canjun drank a glass of wine and said with lingering fear, "I didn't expect that the monk Guan had such a temper. No wonder he could do something like extracting the soul and reshaping the body in order to let the Taoist monks cultivate immortality. It's really terrible. "
"It's terrible," Gong Er agreed, "I thought only evil cultivators could do it."
Li Chuan asked the two men to come and have dinner together. At first, he was worried that Liu Canjun was timid, so he didn't bring the second demon with him. In the past few days of contact, he knew that Liu Canjun was bold and had good character, so he introduced the second demon to him.
Liu Canjun is indeed an open-minded person, and he and Gong Ersan hit it off immediately.
Li Chuan also drank a glass of wine to calm down his shock, and then he asked Jin Rong, "Did you go back to the capital last night?"
"Yes, the name Crown Mid-Autumn Festival always sounded to me. "Senior Brother Wen said something familiar. I feel uneasy if I don't understand it."
Jin Rong put down his chopsticks, "Master said, the demon suppression didn't go well at the beginning. The big demons seemed to have made an appointment to support each other. Our people were tired of running around, and the formation was in a mess. The crown monk took a few monks who also went down the mountain to experience, putting out fires and giving orders everywhere. The troops took a breath and stood down."
"No wonder Taoist Wen would say that." Liu Canjun sighed.
"At that time, he only kept his name, and... in recent years, he has not mentioned the Great Demon Suppression, so the number of people who know him is gradually decreasing," Jin Rong sighed, "There has been a lot of chaos in the palace recently. It will be a few months earlier or a few months later. I guess the verdict will not be handed down so quickly. I will come here sooner or later."
Jin Rong said cryptically, and Li Chuan knew he was. Referring to Prince Su’s affairs.
Jin Rong added: "It's good to do this now, as we can completely eradicate the disaster."
"Is there a magic weapon that can be used for instant messaging?" Li Chuan thought of going somewhere else. “It’s too hard to travel back and forth just for a sentence.”
Back in Xuanshui Mountain, it wasn't that difficult for Zhu Qingyun to contact Qin Tianjian.
"Yes, it is rare," Jin Rong replied, "The sect has a profound foundation, and I guess you can find a few of them. Qin Tianjian relies on the imperial court, and there is no shortage of worldly things. Heavenly materials There are many earth treasures and even heavenly treasures, but there is indeed a shortage of such rare and useless ones."
Li Chuan understood. Compared with the sect that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, the foundation of Qin Tianjian is too shallow.
Liu Canjun continued what he said before and asked Jin Rong, "Although the White Walkers think they are human without knowing it, if they actually know it and mislead us on key clues, how should we prevent it? ?”
Jin Rong replied: “I also told the master about this concern, and the master said that even if it is a ghost, action is better than no action.”
Li Chuan and Liu Canjun both said so.
Two days later, Wen Guying came back. He saw three people and two demons being ordered around by Guan Zhongqiu, and he was speechless for a while.
Gong Eryou showed off to himself and said: "My third brother and I beat the monsters in Xiushan County from bottom to top and beat them into obedience. Now, if you ask me anything, say whatever you want."< br>
“Although they are all little monsters and some cannot speak human language, there is nothing they don’t know about Xiushan County. They said that there were monsters in Xialin Mountain a long time ago, but later they all disappeared. After leaving, they thought there must be a big demon there, so they didn’t dare to go there.”
Pang San added, “We often felt uncomfortable in Xialin Mountain that day, but we don’t know why.”
It rained for the next two days, so they postponed going up the mountain. With the blessing of the Reminiscence spell, they studied the breeding of White Walker butterflies. The process was very disgusting, and the conclusion was very clear - the offspring of White Walker butterflies are ordinary butterflies, and White Walkers are indeed No breeding ability.
On the third day, when Li Chuan woke up, his eyes were filled with golden sunshine.
