Chapter 565 Specialties
In the next few days, Li Chuan took Liu Yang to visit all the lively places in Xiushui County.

"Without the big monster, everyone seems to be a lot more relaxed." Liu Yang said his observation.

"Maybe." Li Chuan did not comment and said, "We will go to Xialin Village tomorrow."

"Okay." Liu Yang had wanted to go to Xialin Village for a long time.

So early the next morning, after having breakfast in the inn, the two took a carriage to Xialin Village.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Li Chuan found the way up the mountain by memory. He walked while observing the grass and trees on the roadside. The trees were short and the grass leaves were half dead, which was very desolate.

After they left, all the grass, trees, birds and animals here were probably plowed.

Li Chuan sighed as he walked up the mountain. When he reached halfway up the mountain, he was already sweating slightly.

"Was it Senior Brother Wen who later killed Su Niang and other people from Xialin Village?" Liu Yang asked.

"Maybe. Taoist Master Wen said he would take care of it, so I didn't ask any more questions." Li Chuan replied. He continued to walk up and said, "I don't have a better solution."

“I heard that twenty years ago, he was the one who cleared out the disciples from the Four Gods Palace who went to the Frost Leaf Sect.” Liu Yang said, “Brother Wen, it was not easy. I definitely could not do what he did.”

"Yes." Li Chuan said.

As they were talking, they walked to the stream.

Li Chuan looked in the direction of the camphor trees. It was flat and there were no trees. He quickened his pace and walked over. When he reached the location of the two camphor trees, he took out the Tianyin pot. He said to Liu Yang, "I want to take a look at this side. Please protect me. If there is any unusual phenomenon, remember to wake me up."

"Okay." Liu Yang agreed and took out a sword and held it in his hand.

"Don't be too nervous, I'll just take a look." Li Chuan said, and then he rubbed the Tianyin pot, and with the help of the sunlight, he concentrated his mind and entered a mysterious state.

The sound of the pot spread out.

Li Chuan followed the sound of the pot and explored everything in the mountain inch by inch.

There are people here.

Li Chuan saw a child, sniffing his nose and picking up firewood in the woods with his red, frozen hands.

He looked upwards and saw the place where Xialin Village used to be. There seemed to be two or three families living there. Some dried vegetables were drying on the open space and dried fish were hanging on the eaves.

After a long time, he opened his eyes.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Liu Yang was a little nervous.

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything. This place is very clean."

"I feel it too." Liu Yang said, "Are we going to Xialin Village now? I feel like there's someone there."

"I saw it." said Li Chuan.

"Do you want to go and have a look?" Liu Yang asked.

"No, we are all ordinary people, let's go back," Li Chuan turned around, "In a few years, this place will be lively. I want to go back, back to Yunqiao Township."

"Okay." Liu Yang said.

"Wait, the stewed dishes sold at the market yesterday were very good. Let's buy some today and bring them back for everyone to eat." Li Chuan said, "I don't know how my second and third brothers are doing in the medicinal bath."

"For them, we had just been away for less than half a month," said Liu Yang.

"That's right." said Li Chuan.

But he still went on a shopping spree at the market, and after stuffing all the things into the Bishui Ring, he took the Qingye Boat and returned to Yunqiao Township with Liu Yang.

As soon as Qingye Zhou landed in the backyard, Li Chuan heard Gong Er's shrill voice, "Brother Jiang, I soaked all day yesterday, and I really can't soak again today." Then he heard Jiang Bai say, "Didn't you say you wanted to soak more and become a mighty and strong man, so that your brother would be surprised when he came back?"

"I can't soak anymore. I'm already very majestic and powerful..."

What has this bubble become?

Li Chuan opened the door with curiosity. At this moment, Gong Er turned his head and his eyes met Li Chuan's gaze.

Li Chuan looked him up and down. Wasn't this the same Gong Er he was familiar with?

"Brother, you're back?" Gong Er was very surprised. Before Li Chuan could react, he spread his wings and flew over. He asked a series of questions: "Brother, how is Xuanshui Mountain now? Have you found the secret of Tiansu? Have you found any spiritual treasures?"

I still remember Lingbao.

Li Chuan pulled Gong Er off his body and said, "It's almost the same as before. I brought back some specialties from Xiushan County. You can try them." As he spoke, he took out food one by one from the Bishui Ring.

Gong Er took one look and said, "I'll go call my third brother and Master Wukong to come over."

With a leap, Gong Er flew away.

The room fell silent.

Jiang Bai saw that Li Chuan had put a table full of things and asked, "Where did you buy so many?"

"Xiushan County," Li Chuan replied. "I went to Xialin Village."

Then he asked Jiang Bai: "Just now I heard my second brother say something mighty and majestic, what's going on?"

"After soaking in the medicinal bath for a few days, he found that he had grown taller, about an inch taller. He begged me to give him drastic measures. Since he had asked, I might have obeyed him, so he screamed and cried while soaking in the bath for the past few days," said Jiang Bai.

"Is this really useful?" Li Chuan asked.

"Of course it worked. It definitely did more good than harm to him." Jiang Bai said, "I added those herbs because I thought he could hold on. I can't say that those herbs are precious, but it took me a lot of effort to collect them all."

"We need to make more bubbles, don't waste them, I'll catch them later." Li Chuan said.

As they were talking, Gong Er came over with Pang San and Master Wukong.

Several people were eating braised food and talking. Li Chuan talked about his experience in Xuanshui Mountain. He said: "I picked up stones there. I picked them when I was awake, and I picked them up in my dreams, day and night..."

He suddenly felt that he was suffering. "Really, after I was picked up, I was numb and stupid. When I just left Xuanshui Mountain, I went to Zuiyuelou for dinner and met General Liu. I found that I hadn't spoken much for a year and I couldn't speak much."

Jiang Bai said: "I don't think so."

Wukong also said: "I feel like you're being more verbose than before."

"When did I say anything long-winded?" Li Chuan retorted angrily, "It took me a long time to calm down. Immortals just don't treat people as human beings..."

"That's right, Immortal Yun Yi is so inhuman!" Gong Er said.

"Second brother, don't say his name, he might be able to hear it." Pang San immediately reminded Gong Er.

"But at least he gives me a cup of tea or wine every time." Li Chuan talked about the good things about Immortal Yun Yi.

……

After returning to Yunqiao Township, Li Chuan lived a busy and chaotic life and ate many meals everywhere.

After more than a month, the weather began to warm up, and it was time to review the past.
