ninety thousand miles

Chapter 11

Li Chuan thought for a while, and said, "Then...then if I just keep the books at home and don't learn the things above, does it matter?"

"What's the matter?" Wen Guying was at a loss.

"That's right, it chose me as its heir. If I don't learn it, will it force me to learn it..." Li Chuan thought about his words.

"For example, one day when I was working in the field, I suddenly found an injured girl lying there. I rescued her, and then found out that the girl had enemies, or had a difficult problem, so I had to use this tattoo. The knowledge in the scriptures, then I have no choice but to learn, after learning once, there will be a second time, and gradually my studies will be wasted..." Li Chuan's voice gradually softened.

Wen Guying looked at Li Chuan with complicated eyes, "How could you... You scholars always have a lot of strange ideas."

Li Chuan asked without giving up: "Wen Daochang, will this phenomenon happen?"

Wen Guying said: "Don't worry, it won't, it's just a book."

"Then, if I accidentally tear it and damage it, won't there be any bad consequences?" Li Chuan asked again.

"No," Wen Guying couldn't help but said, "It's your ability to damage this book. Even if a fairy comes, it can't damage this book at all."

Li Chuan nodded, and then he apologized to Wen Guying and said, "Don't blame the Taoist priest, Xiao Ke just wanted to ask clearly, and I will definitely cherish this book."

Wen Guying's face brightened a little and he said, "Since you have obtained this book, you are a distinguished guest of Sishen Palace."

As he said, he took out a skylark knot made of multicolored silk thread from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Li Chuan, "This is a token of Sishen Palace. You can listen to lectures in the shrine, and you can also view all the books below Tianzi in the library."

Li Chuan took the knot with both hands, and after thanking him, he said with some doubts: "Master Taoist, is the Sishen Palace open to the outside world? Well, I heard from the Taoist priest before that the red-haired fox was also waiting for an opportunity while listening to the lecture." Sneak into the library..."

"Yes." Wen Guying affirmed Li Chuan's statement.

He said: "Sishen Palace is the top Taoist school in the world. As long as you wholeheartedly seek the Tao, no matter you are a human or a demon, you can come to listen to it. Taoism and the law, after a certain stage of cultivation, it is difficult to make any progress by just working behind closed doors. Practitioners of different sects can learn from each other and communicate with each other, but they can discover something. Similarly, if these exercise secret books are left in the library and no one is watching them, they will lose their value. Only by continuous inheritance and development can new paths be explored. Come."

He said loudly, "As long as you have the right mind and focus on the Tao, the gate of the Four Gods Palace will be opened for him."

Li Chuan suddenly thought of the recipe mentioned by Boiled Egg.

He said: "I met a wandering doctor before. He said that he had a prescription from the Sishen Palace to eliminate the erosion of demon power. I don't know if it is true?"

"Eliminate the erosion of demon power? What did he say?" Wen Guying frowned and asked.

So Li Chuan repeated what Baizhudan had said.

Wen Guying said: "There is a prescription to eliminate the erosion of demon power, but the doctor may be trying to fool you, because ordinary contact with demons will not hinder the human body except for leaving some breath."

Li Chuan was stunned.

Isn't that what Wen Gu said to Zhang Yuanwai?

Could it be that he lied to Yuanwai Zhang?

Wen Guying saw the doubt in Li Chuan's heart, and he was very calm, "The chicken demon left many days ago, leaving no trace at all. As for the crying of the female ghost, it was the people in this house who frightened themselves. I figured it out. But if I don’t watch this night, and don’t do a ceremony tomorrow, Zhang Yuanwai and his family and servants will definitely not feel at ease.”

He said: "I have been busy for two days, and I still need Zhang Yuanwai and the others to do more good deeds in the future. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Li Chuan was silent.

Then he said: "Taoist Wen, I admire you very much, and the atmosphere of the Sishen Palace, if... I'm talking about if, if I don't learn the things in the "Jing Jing", will I still have a chance to set foot on the road?" Fairy Road?"

"No." Wen Guying categorically denied Li Chuan's words, and said, "When the "Book of Patterns" selects you, the rest of the doors have already been closed to you."

"Okay." Li Chuan took a bite of the chicken leg, his expression unchanged.

A little regret in my heart, but not too much.

The next morning, when Zhang Yuanwai came back with his family servants, Wen Guying told them that both the chicken demon and the female ghost had been saved by him.

As he said that, he also took everyone to see the seven or eight chicken feathers and a strand of hair scattered under the window outside.

A limping girl who burned the fire saw the chicken feather and said, "This is the chicken demon's feather. It's absolutely right. It's exactly the same as what I saw that day."

While talking, he took two steps, and the crooked foot suddenly healed.

The rest of the servants also stepped forward to have a look, and discussed one after another:

"That chicken demon, who has received the kindness of the master's family for so many years, does not want to repay it, but colludes with the female ghost, spoils the food of the master's family, and even kills the master's family, it deserves it!"

"That's right," he said, stepping on chicken feathers and hair a few times, "This is what happens to ungrateful people!"

"Thanks to the Taoist leader for taking this demon."

"..."

Listening to their words, Li Chuan sighed silently in his heart, these are not chicken hairs, they are just fallen leaves.

He picked up fallen leaves.

The trick of the Taoist priest.

Standing there, Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying.

Wen Guying looked enigmatic, and seeing that everyone was talking about it, he said that the time had come and it was time to do something.

Zhang Yuanwai had already prepared the things he ordered.

I saw Wen Guying standing in front of the table, raised his sleeves and took a pen, dipped it in cinnabar, drew a few mysterious characters on the yellow paper, and threw it into the clear water basin.

Holding the sword in his hand again, he walked around a few times, pointing at the water basin and shouting "duh".

I saw the yellow paper spontaneously ignite without fire.

The chicken feathers on the ground also started to burn, and a servant moved closer, nearly being burned, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Then I heard crackling sounds coming from near and far, like an invisible fire burning all over the house.

And a round of red sun pierced through the clouds and merged with the flames.

Everyone looked at it with reverence and awe.

When the fire was exhausted, Wen Guying received the sword, walked outside Zhang Yuan and said: "Besides Zhang Yuan, the demon has been eliminated, and the breath left by the monster has been burned away."

While thanking Zhang Yuanwai, he took out the prepared box and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Unexpectedly, Wen Guying pushed the box back.

Without waiting for Zhang Yuanwai to speak again, he laughed and walked out with big strides, walked out of the gate, walked on the street, walked higher and higher, as if stepping on empty steps, walked into the sun, turned into a A small black dot finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone stared at the sun obsessively.

After a long time, Zhang Yuanwai suddenly heard the voice of a Taoist in his ears: "Do more good deeds, and your blessings will last forever."

He suddenly woke up, and then bowed in the direction of the sun.

The rest of the people followed suit to worship the sun.
