ninety thousand miles

Chapter 295 Terrible

Wen Guying put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said warmly: "Jushi Yi, it's time to open the door."

The red light shone on Yi Jushi's face, making his facial features and expressions particularly clear.

Li Chuan saw Yi Jushi's eyes move, his cheeks puffed up a little, then deflated again. After his lips moved slightly for a few times, he lowered his head and finally said, "I'll be fine soon."

Almost in the blink of an eye, the lake water started to roll, and the boat swayed violently from side to side. Li Chuan clung to the side of the boat tightly, and it took a lot of effort not to be thrown out.

Before he could take a breath, he suddenly felt his eyes light up, and large, transparent raindrops fell quickly from his side. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid the falling rain, and then he saw an island.

The island floats among the clouds and mist. It is not in the lake, but in the sky.

At this time, the boat he was riding on seemed to be pulled by a force, passing through the heavy rain curtain and approaching the island.

Li Chuan grabbed the side of the boat harder and tried his best to shrink into the boat. At this time, the boat turned completely over, and when I closed my eyes, it was like riding on a boat normally. After opening my eyes, I could see the lake, lotus leaves, and the temple just below my head. Even though I knew nothing was wrong, I still couldn't help but be afraid.

In front, Wen Guying was still standing at the bow of the boat, and Yi Jushi was sitting behind him with his eyes closed. Neither of them seemed to be affected at all.

Behind them, there is Gong Er with his head buried in a ball, and Pang San hanging on the wall of the ship.

Seeing the appearance of these two little demons, Li Chuan felt much better. He slowly poked his head out from the side of the boat and looked in the direction of the island.

He saw green trees, white gravel roads crisscrossing the forest, and stone statues.

Stone statue? Li Chuan realized that this was the stone statue related to French style that Lao Xiao said, so he braced himself and tried to see more clearly, but as he looked at it, he fell into a trance.

At some point, the boat turned over again, sailed through the clouds and mist, and docked at the shore.

"We're here." Yi Jushi opened his eyes and said, "This is Shenxia Island."

Li Chuan stood up, reached out and patted Gong Er on the back, knocked Pang San on the crab shell, and said, "We're here, let's get off the boat."

The second male arched his body a few times, and then a chicken head poked out. After looking around cautiously, he straightened his chest and said to the third male: "Third brother, we are safe."

Next person stretched out his eyes, and after a moment, he climbed down.

After getting off the boat, Yi Jushi took them forward.

Li Chuan walked a few steps and felt a little dizzy and his legs were weak. He endured the discomfort and followed closely.

After walking more than ten feet, the third person noticed Li Chuan's discomfort and said, "Brother, can I carry you on my back?"

"It's okay," Li Chuan waved his hand and said, "It'll be fine in a while."

After hearing this, Gong Er jumped forward and said, "Brother, I just saw it. This island is huge. Let Third Brother carry you."

Li Chuan didn't know how Gong Er, who kept his head down the whole time, could tell how big the island was.

His head was still dizzy. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to show off, so he sat on the back of the other three. As soon as he sat firmly, Gong Er jumped into his arms and commanded the other three: "Follow me."

Li Chuan seemed to be in good spirits and felt relieved.

When Yi Jushi heard their conversation, he couldn't help but look back at them. Then Wen Guying asked him: "Yi Jushi, have you tried the trial on Shenxia Island?"

Yi Jushi shook his head and said, "No. I remember my mission. I am just a gatekeeper."

"Have the Shenxia disciples ever brought a woman here?" Wen Guying asked casually.

"When?" Yi Jushi asked.

"Probably more than twenty years ago." Wen Guying replied.

Yi Jushi thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure. People from their sect are too mixed."

"Yes." Wen Guying did not continue to ask.

Master Yi led them along the white sand road, and not long after, they arrived at my stone statue. When you look down from a high place, you feel that these stone statues are very vividly carved, like real people; when you get closer, you find that they are very tall, and they almost only stand at their knees.

Li Chuan raised his head to look at their postures, and suddenly saw a person standing next to the stone statue on the other side.

"Friend Luo, this way." Wen Guying called to him.

Luo Xueli turned around and quickly walked up to them. He asked, "Did you find your way here from the temple?"

His eyes swept over Yi Jushi.

Wen Guying introduced him: "This is Yi Jushi. He is the gatekeeper of Shenxia Island. He took us to the island." Then he briefly told Yi Jushi's origin.

Luo Xueli kept a straight face until she heard about Yi Jushi's reincarnation, when a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

After listening to Wen Guying's experience with Li Chuan, Luo Xueli also briefly talked about his experience. He said: "I searched the lake for a long time and finally saw a trace of golden light, and then it brought me here."

Hearing what he said, Yi Jushi was a little surprised and said, "Are you okay?"

Luo Xueli said solemnly: "It's just that the coat is a little damaged."

Only then did Li Chuan realize that Luo Xueli's clothes had been changed. Judging from his expression, it was probably more than just some damage.

Wen Guying also saw it and said, "Yi Jushi, please take us for a walk on the island."

"Okay." Yi Jushi agreed, and then took them for a walk around the island.

The scenery on the island is very good, but except for the previous stone statues and the white sand road, the rest of the island is like an ordinary island. There are no traces of man-made work, and no fairy handiwork can be seen.

About an hour later, they returned to the stone statue.

Yi Jushi said: "So I have taken you through all the places you can go. If you still don't find what you want, then it is gone."

"Do you need to pass a trial to enter other places?" Li Chuan asked.

"Yes." Yi Jushi said.

Li Chuan raised his head again to observe these stone statues. He looked at them one by one. Occasionally, he had the illusion that they were also looking at him.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Guying walked up to him and asked, "How is it? Did you see anything?"

Li Chuan shook his head.

"Do you have a special feeling when you see the statue of Shenxia?" Wen Guying asked.

"No." Li Chuan said.

"Then do you feel anything related to the Pattern Sutra?" Wen Guying asked again.

Li Chuan still shook his head and said, "No." He lowered his head and felt that his neck was a little sore. He asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No." Wen Guying replied, "The postures of these stone statues are indeed a bit strange."

Li Chuan suddenly thought of something. Just as he was about to ask, he thought that Yi Jushi was nearby. He glanced at Yi Jushi's position and heard Wen Guying say: "What do you want to say? He can't hear it."

So Li Chuan immediately asked: "Why were you and Lord Luo so surprised when you heard that he was reincarnating again and again?"

"The Tao of Reincarnation is the path of the real immortal Song Fengzi," Wen Guying explained: "Therefore, Song Fengzi also knew about the Shenxia Temple. The temple of Tiansu's clone involves both the Shinto Way of Incense and the Tao of Reincarnation. Dao Tu, these two true immortals are really... terrifying."

"But the gatekeeper Yi Jushi said he has five hundred years of cultivation, but he can't even beat his second brother and his third brother." Li Chuan found the contradiction and said, "Is he just pretending?"

"No, he's just not good at fighting," Wen Guying said, "So, this is even more terrifying."
