Chapter 296 Stone Statue

"Why?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying took two steps back and said, "Because if you beat him to death, he won't die, he will just enter reincarnation again. Shenxia doesn't care about his life or death, and the Shenxia Temple needs a gatekeeper. people."

"Will he not die even if his body dies?" Li Chuan asked doubtfully.

"No, as long as he comes back here, no matter how much damage he suffers, he will recover as before." Wen Guying looked up at the stone statue, as if looking at it, "And after experiencing so many reincarnations, his memory has not It's unbelievable. It's hard to say whether his true form...is the original bamboo."

He asked: "Have you ever looked at these stone statues using the method of the Pattern Sutra?"

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "Not yet."

"Don't do it yet." Wen Guying warned, "We will look at it after I and fellow Taoist Luo investigate."

"Okay." Li Chuan heard the caution in Wen Guying's tone and agreed, and asked: "Then where should I squat now?"

"Go to Master Yi's place." Wen Guying pointed to Master Yi's location.

Li Chuan looked over and saw Yi Jushi sitting under a poplar tree, looking into the distance.

Wen Guying said: "Take a rest for a while. If you are interested, let's chat a few words."

"Understood, I'll go over then," Li Chuan turned around and said to Gong Ersan, "Let's go."

After Li Chuan and the two demons walked away, Wen Guying looked at the stone statue for a moment, then got up and flew in the air, looking down condescendingly.

Luo Xueli had already been standing in mid-air. After seeing Wen Guying, he nodded towards him and asked, "What have you discovered?"

Wen Guying said: "The stone statues are moving, they are alive."

Luo Xueli also noticed this and said, "Yes, and the movements they performed may seem ordinary, but in fact they are difficult to imitate."

"Have you tried it?" Wen Guying asked.

Luo Xueli shook her head and said: "Not yet. I found that what Lao Xiaokai told Li Chuan is true so far. He was actually right about the golden light at the bottom of the lake."

He looked down at the stone statue below and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, if 'French style' does exist, what are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?" Wen Guying was a little confused.

"After our trip is over, Shenxia Island will no longer be a secret to Xuanmen. Being able to borrow the power of Shenxia is an irresistible temptation for many people." Luo Xueli stated plainly.

He said: "Mortals and low-level monks will want to use their strength to protect themselves; while high-level monks will want to understand the meaning of the immortal's power. As for the magic hero, he may need some people to rely on him, and then At some point in the future, it will become a certain link in his plan."

Luo Xueli looked at Wen Guying and asked, "Do you think this is very similar to Shuangyemen's technique?"

Wen Guying didn't seem to care too much and said, "Isn't this the case for incense and fire?"

"It's different." Luo Xueli said seriously: "Friend Daoist Wen, you know in your heart that it's completely different."

He added: "At that time, many people felt that there was an immortal behind the Frost Leaf Gate. Is it possible that the immortal was a magic hero?"

Wen Guying sighed slightly and admitted, "I originally came here to verify this matter."

Luo Xueli heard what he meant and asked, "You don't think so now?"

"Yes, after discovering that the Shenxia Temple was related to the two true immortals Haotian and Songfengzi, I overturned my guess." Wen Guying said, "Although there is no proof of the fall of Tiansu, regardless of the facts What is it? Whether he is dead or alive, he should really be in some kind of predicament where he cannot speak." "So I speculated that he might want to use the Frost Leaf Gate and the half-demon to get out of trouble. And the identity of Shenxia might be A back-up he had left behind.”

"What about the White Walkers?" Luo Xueli asked.

Wen Guying shook his head and said, "I don't know, so I decided to come to the Shenxia Temple to see if I could find any clues."

"Later, I fought against a half-demon in Wochi," Wen Guying continued, "Her cultivation level didn't seem to be borrowed, and she didn't assume any strange postures."

After briefly describing the process of his fight with the half-demon, he said: "I now feel that her cultivation comes from the demon clan."

"But you still came to the Shenxia Temple." Luo Xueli said.

"There are still many unsolved mysteries," Wen Guying said: "Both the two true immortals, Haotian and Songfengzi, left traces in the Shenxia Temple. What Lao Xiaokai said about going back to the past also made me I thought of the work of another true immortal."

"True Immortal Yingfeng?" Luo Xueli guessed.

"That's her. Brother Xueli, if you think about it, if Tiansu is really in some kind of predicament and needs external help to get out of it, why doesn't he borrow the power of the two true immortals Haotian and Songfengzi instead of supporting Shuang? This grass-roots team in Yemen?"

"The actions of immortals are unpredictable and cannot be guessed by us." Luo Xueli said.

"What about Immortal Yunyi?" Wen Guying presented evidence from another angle, "Immortal Yunyi dared to kill Shuangye Sect. Doesn't that prove that the person or immortal behind Shuangye Sect is not Tiansu?"

Wen Guying said: "Tiansu may have fallen, but Haotian and Songfengzi will not."

Luo Xueli was not convinced, but he did not want to refute, so he asked: "Then what are you going to do now? Investigate and then leave?"

"We are already here, so of course we have to go shopping," Wen Guying looked forward along the white sand road, as if he wanted to take in the entire island. He said, "I still have many doubts in my heart. Explanation, for example, if the death realm that Immortal Yunyi broke was Tiansu, could it be that he was chasing Shuangyemen to prevent Tiansu from resurrecting?"

"Didn't you just say that the person behind Shuangye Sect is not Tiansu?" Luo Xueli was speechless.

"That's why we need to investigate." Wen Guying said.

"What are you going to do?" Luo Xueli still asked directly.

"Can you try to make the stone statue fall into your dream?" Wen Guying retracted his gaze and pointed to the stone statue below.

"You can give it a try." After Luo Xueli finished speaking, he began to cast the spell.

Li Chuan sat next to Yi Jushi. Several times he spoke, but Yi Jushi didn't respond, so he stopped looking for topics and looked into the distance, admiring the changes in the clouds.

As he looked at it, he seemed to see some pictures among the clouds and mist. He rubbed his eyes to see more clearly, but he heard Yi Jushi's voice.

Master Yi asked, "Are you not a monk?"

"No." Li Chuan replied, and then glanced in the direction of the stone statues. He saw that the eyes of these stone statues seemed to be covered with a layer of magnificent light.

"They were here when I first landed on the island," Yi Jushi said.

"Them?" Li Chuan was a little confused.

"Those stone people." Yi Jushi said: "They are alive, but their passage of time is different from ours."
