Chapter 396 Questioning
So Li Chuan stayed in Yunqiao Township for a few more days.
Wukong also followed Li Chuan back.
He originally planned to stay and then go to Lanshan Pavilion with him. One was to eliminate harm for the people, and the other was to make money. But when Li Chuan said goodbye to him, Wen Guying asked him and Li Chuan to demonstrate again how they trapped King Baoxing.
After their demonstration, Wen Guying asked Wu to go to the Four Gods Palace. He said: "When I heard you chanting sutras before, I just thought that the rhythm of the syllables was unusual. But now the sound of chanting is different from After the pot sounds were combined, I felt that there was power in the undulations of the syllables. I couldn't tell what kind of power this was. If you are willing, come with us to the Four Gods Palace and let the old palace master take a look at your future. Practicing will be beneficial.”
Wu Kong agreed.
After returning to Yunqiao Township again, Li Chuan's wish to lie quietly for two days was still not fulfilled. First, after drinking the Yu Clan's wine, he did feel much better. Once he felt good, he couldn't lie down and wandered around. The other is that Zhang Yuanwai and others, knowing that he is behind them, will look for him to eat.
Li Chuan picked a few and went.
Although the news of the death of King Baoxing was suppressed, the fact that the soldiers entered Qiaojiatang could not be hidden from anyone. Li Chuan heard many outrageous rumors while eating. . Why is Sun Tianxi a fugitive, harboring the former royal family, and raising many dead soldiers in his family?
Of course, there are also people who know the real news, such as Magistrate Xu. He came to visit Li Chuan specifically for this purpose.
Magistrate Xu was very surprised when he saw Wen Guying at Li Chuan's home.
After chatting for a while with Li Chuan and the others, he asked: "Have you heard about what happened in Qiaojiatang? I heard that there were two monsters coming from the Li family residence at that time. He flew out and flew far away. After that, Qiaojiatang was surrounded and was not released until the next day."
"I also heard that people from Qintian Prison came. Dr. Li, do you know?" Magistrate Xu asked.
“I was there at that time,” Li Chuan did not hide it. He thought for a while and said, “I can’t tell the public what happened specifically now. However, in each village and town, it is best to Just like the winter before last, organize some people and be more prepared.”
Xian Magistrate immediately understood, and he said: “Which side is it? Lanshan Pavilion or Ziyun Cave?” When Li Chuan answered, he said: "It should be Lanshan Pavilion."
"Why?" Li Chuan was very curious as to how County Magistrate Xu guessed it.
Xian Magistrate Xu said: "Although the one in Ziyun Cave eats a pair of boys and girls every year, it will stop after eating and will no longer harm the people around it. So the few around People from the village take turns every year. They just paid tribute there not long ago, and it is unlikely that they will come out to harm people this month... Lanshan Pavilion has not seen much movement in the past few years, but I once heard a person from the caravan say, When they are doing business, they would rather go from Xuanshui Mountain than get close to Lanshan Pavilion."
Li Chuan was silent.
Wukong said: "One day, we will kill all these big monsters."
Xu County Magistrate knew that he had guessed correctly, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said: " Lanshan Pavilion is relatively far from Jinhong, just to the east and west, and separated by several mountains. It will probably be relatively late for it to spread here." Then he asked: "When will Qin Tianjian plan to encircle Lanshan Pavilion? ?”
"In the near future." Li Chuan no longer concealed anything.
Magistrate Xu said: "The sooner the better, don't let Lanshan Pavilion notice something is wrong."
After Magistrate Xu got the news he wanted, he chatted a few more words , and said goodbye.
After Li Chuan sent him away, he walked back into the house, his expression a little gloomy.
"What's wrong with you?" Wu Kong asked him.
Li Chuan: "If we can really help you recite sutras, I'll knock the pot and trap all the demons in the entire big demon territory."
"By that time, maybe you won't even have a big demon at all." I'll kill him," Wen Guying said. After Magistrate Xu left, Li Chuan and Wu Kong packed up their things, picked out a few more bunches of grapes on the grape trellis that were about to ripen, and cut them off.
Afterwards, Li Chuan took out the carriage and sat on it with Wu Kong. This time, Li Chuan grasped the handrail tightly. After a violent jolt and shaking, when the carriage became quiet again, they returned to their house in Sanyi Hutong.
As soon as Li Chuan stepped out of the car door, a colorful rooster hit him in the face. Li Chuan dodged for a moment, but was hit by its wings. Then he heard Gong Er ask him: "Brother, 豼You’re finally back. Why didn’t you take us with you when you returned to Yunqiao Township? My third brother and I thought you were kidnapped by monsters.”
Li Chuan felt that he was very innocent. He said, "I don't know either. Your senior brother Wen only told me that he wanted to try his new magic. How did I know that I would be in Yunqiao Township as soon as I opened my eyes?"
Wen Guying stood aside calmly, looking up at the sky.
Gong Er and Pang San looked at each other, but they did not dare to question Wen Guying.
So Li Chuan took out a bunch of freshly cut grapes and said, "These are the grapes in our backyard."
"Let me try them." Gong Er said I pecked one down and said: "So sour, so sour!"
"Next year's will be sweeter," Li Chuan said.
At this time, Jin Rong came out from behind and said, "Brother Li, you are back. During these days when you were away, they would ask me more than ten times a day where their eldest brother had gone. . All I know is that you followed Brother Wen out, and you were able to brush it off at first. After two or three days, when you still didn't show up, they insisted that you were kidnapped by a monster, and they had to go find the master. Please help me rescue you. Fortunately, Master Wu Kong came not long after, and we learned that you had returned to Yunqiao Township."
He saw Wu Kong getting off the carriage and asked: "How are things going over there?"
Li Chuan said: "Supervisor He has made arrangements. When Mr. Chang arrives, he can start to exterminate the monsters immediately."
"You Don't you want to participate?" Jin Rong asked.
Li Chuan shook his head and said: "I still have something to do, and I will go there again later. By the way, how is the trial by Prince Su?"
Jin Rong said: "Go sit down in the room Tell me."
After the three men and the two demons walked to the main hall and sat down, Jin Rong said, "Prince Su, the trial is very difficult."
"With the methods of the Demon Hunting Division, Can't you find out?" Wen Guying asked.
Jin Rong shook his head and said: "I have used all possible means. Prince Su, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't say it."
"Has someone tampered with his body?" Wen Guying asked.
"Yes, so...more extreme methods have not been used yet, but if we can't find out by asking again, then we can only use them." Jin Rong sighed lightly and said: "However, the people related to the theater troupe's Soul Eater have basically been arrested. The monk was also arrested. He wanted to escape back to Mount Sumeru. Fortunately, the senior brother stopped him in time."
"He is really a must. A disciple of Mishan?" Wen Guying asked.
"It is indeed." Jin Rong said.
