ninety thousand miles

Chapter 86
Li Chuan and Liu Canjun looked at each other, dumbfounded.After sending Pan Mama Guan Zhongqiu back to the prison, Liu Canjun couldn't help feeling: "The strange ghosts are too human-like. Could it be that they pretended to be humans and finally fooled themselves?"

Li Chuan was also puzzled.

The two read the written text over and over several times, but they couldn't find any loopholes.

Liu Canjun said: "Although Xialin Village is in the mountains, it is not isolated from the world. The customs are similar to other places in Xiushan County. Therefore, I think they are not lying."

"Cultivator Guan came to Xiushan County in the 11th year of Tianfu. I found the record of the demons making troubles that year. It was a heart-splitting demon who only ate the hearts of young girls. There were also victims in Xialin Village..."

"Heartbreaker?" Li Chuan's heart skipped a beat.

"The prototype is a koi. It usually hides in Qiongdao Lake. After being spotted by an expert, it fled to the southeast and was killed in Xialin Mountain."

That expert is Guan Zhongqiu.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan and Liu Canjun were speechless.

Li Chuan broke the silence first, and said, "I want to ask Brother Guan a few more questions alone."

So Guan Zhongqiu was brought up again.

Before Li Chuan could speak, Guan Zhongqiu asked first, "Have you found a way to possess the ghost?"

"No." Li Chuan shook his head, and then asked him about Tianfu's 11th year, "Did you kill that fish demon in Xialin Mountain?"

"That's right." Guan Zhongqiu replied.

"Where did you kill him in Xialin Mountain?"

"In the stream beside the village... that's how I knew Su Niang."

"Did he do anything special in the stream?" Li Chuan asked.

"Special behavior? What do you mean?"

"I don't know, but if there is something special, weird..." Li Chuan didn't know how to describe it.

Guan Zhongqiu became thoughtful, "If I insist on something special, that koi has a trace of dragon energy on it, so it took a lot of effort..."

He added: "You must have some clues to ask me this question. But I don't know what you are looking for, so I don't know how to answer it."

After weighing it up, Li Chuan said, "There are no monsters in Xialin Mountain."

"No demon?" Guan Zhongqiu was also a little surprised.

Li Chuan nodded, "Not one."

"Only us White Walkers?"

"Yes."

Guan Zhongqiu thought for a moment, and said: "The fish demon went down to the forest mountain. I thought it was looking for help, but no monster came out to help it, maybe..."

"There were demons originally in Xialin Mountain?" Li Chuan thought of the answer, and he asked again, "How many years has that fish demon cultivated? Could it be a monster from Xialin Mountain?"

"Seven or eight hundred years..." Guan Zhongqiu thought for a while, and added, "There is no magic weapon, and the means are very simple, except for the silk dragon energy that can hide the breath and control the water, there is nothing that can be obtained. It is very likely It's a local monster."

"You can ask the local monsters." A voice cut in, and Li Chuan and Liu Canjun looked up, and it was Jin Rong who had returned.

Jin Rong's face was pale, and he looked haggard, without the elegant and elegant demeanor of the first day we met.

"Brother Jin, what's wrong with you?" Li Chuan asked hurriedly.

Jin Rong waved his hands and said, "Nothing, just a little tired."

Tired of visiting villages?Last night when I beat up the monks of the Lingchuan sect, 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 the surrounding villages, and they said that the people in Xialin Village are honest and honest. Lots of contact."

"Sometimes they go to the mountains to collect herbs and dig wild vegetables, and when they meet people from Xialin Village, they will tell them where to look. Occasionally, it is late and there is a heavy rain, and they stay in Xialin Village, and they will be treated well."

Guan Zhongqiu was silent.

Jin Rong walked in front of him, "I went back to the capital last night, met with Master, and finally found out about you."

It turned out that I went back and forth to the capital overnight

Guan Zhongqiu still had a gloomy face.

Jin Rong said, "I want to ask Brother Crown to do one more thing before he dies."

"what's up."

"As the crown monk, find out the secrets of the other ghosts."

"I have been cooperating with you."

"It's not just cooperation. You are the person who is most familiar with Xialin Village, the most familiar with the ghosts, and the person who is most likely to find out the truth. Guan Zhongqiu, are you willing?"

Guan Zhongqiu turned his head away, "I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Afterwards, Jin Rong asked Liu Canjun to release the shackles and anklets for Guan Zhongqiu.Liu Canjun hesitated, but when he heard Li Chuan say softly, "These things can't lock him up at all," he loosened 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 during his investigation of Xialin Village yesterday, as well as his own guesses, and Liu Canjun also told him all the potentially useful information he found.

"Can the souls of toads and shrimps be extracted?"

"Have they been ostracized by their own kind?"

"Are the offspring of the White Walker butterflies White Walkers?"

"..."

A series of questions confused Li Chuan and Jin Rong.

Li Chuan said: "I haven't had time to study it yet, and if there are descendants, there is no way to have descendants right now, right?"

"Find Senior Brother Wen, he has a solution." After Guan Zhongqiu finished speaking, he added, "Don't trust Senior Brother Wen too much, he is a good person, but no one can think of what he wants to do until the result comes out."

Before Li Chuan and Jin Rong could respond, he commanded vigorously again, "The place where I was dying was in a cave to the west of Xialin Village. There is a small road to go there, so I should check there too."

He called Li Chuan's name again, "Successor of the "Wen Jing", 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 hated that iron could not be made into steel, "You captured these strange ghosts and came back, just do nothing, just keep them?"

"..."

After Li Chuan, Jin Rong, and Liu Canjun were educated by Guan Zhongqiu, they all realized their aimlessness and passive sabotage.

After working hard all afternoon, when it was time to eat dinner, they were all dull-eyed and out of breath.

They originally asked Guan Zhongqiu to eat together, but Guan Zhongqiu refused and insisted on going back to the prison.

So I had to buy food and send it in.

Liu Canjun drank a glass of wine with lingering fears in his heart, "I didn't expect monk Guan to have such a temperament. No wonder he can do such a thing, in order to let his Taoist companion cultivate immortality, and reshape his body with his soul. It's really terrible."

"It's terrible," Gong Er agreed, "I thought only evil cultivators could do it."

Li Chuan asked the second and the third to have dinner together.At the beginning, he was worried that Liu Canjun was timid, so he didn't bring the second demon with him. After a few days of contact, he knew that he was bold and good-natured, so he introduced the second demon to him.

Liu Canjun was really open-minded, and he hit it off right away when he chatted with the public.

Li Chuan also drank a glass of wine to suppress his shock, then he asked Jin Rong, "Did you go back to the capital last night?"

"Yes, the name Guan Zhongqiu has always sounded familiar to me. Senior Brother Wen mentioned that sentence again. If I don't understand it, I feel uneasy."

Jin Rong put down his chopsticks, "The master said that the demon suppression was not smooth at the beginning. The big monsters on the top of the mountain seemed to have made an appointment to support each other. Our people were exhausted, and the formation was interspersed into a mess. Brother Guan led a few monks who also went down the mountain to fight fires and command everywhere, and it really made the big troops breathe a sigh of relief and push them down."

"No wonder Taoist Wen said that." Liu Canjun sighed.

"At that time, he only kept his name, and...in recent years, he didn't mention the Great Demon Suppression, so the number of people who knew him gradually decreased," Jin Rong sighed. Or a few months later, I guess the verdict will not come down so fast, I will come to visit sooner or later."

What Jin Rong said was cryptic, and Li Chuan knew he was referring to Prince Su.

Jin Rong said again: "It's good to be like this now, it can completely eradicate the disaster."

"Is there a magic weapon for instant messaging?" Li Chuan thought of going elsewhere, "It's too hard to go back and forth for a sentence."

Back then in Xuanshui Mountain, it would not have been so difficult for Zhu Qingyun to contact Qin Tianjian.

"Yes, it's rare," Jin Rong replied, "The great sect has a profound heritage, and it is estimated that you can find a few pieces. The Qin Tianjian relies on the imperial court, and there is no shortage of secular things. There are quite a few magic weapons, but such rare and useless ones are indeed lacking a lot."

Li Chuan understood.Compared with the sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, the foundation of Qin Tianjian is too shallow.

Liu Canjun asked Jin Rong again, "Although the ghosts think they are human and don't know it, if they actually know it and mislead us on key clues, how can we prevent it?"

Jin Rong replied: "I also expressed this concern to the master, and the master said that even if it is a strange ghost, it is better to take action than to have no action."

Both Li Chuan and Liu Canjun said yes.

Two days later, Wen Guying came back. He was speechless for a while when he saw three people and two monsters being directed around by Guan Zhongqiu.

Gong Er still boasted to himself: "My third brother and I beat the monsters in Xiushan County from bottom to top, and beat them into obedience. Now ask what you want to say."

"Although they are all little monsters, and there are some who can't 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 they all left later. They think There must be a big monster there, so I dare not go there."

The third person added, "That day when we were in Xialin Mountain, we often felt uncomfortable, but I don't know why."

It rained for the next two days, so they postponed going up the mountain, and under the blessing of Wenguying magic, they studied the breeding of the ghost butterfly. No ability to reproduce.

On the third day, when Li Chuan woke up, his eyes were full of golden sunshine.
