ninety thousand miles

Chapter 385 Returning Hometown
"What kind of spell is it?" Li Chuan asked warily.

"The overlapping step technique." Wen Guying answered.

"What is this?" Li Chuan asked.

Jin Rong replied: "An escape technique that can span hundreds of miles in three to five steps." He looked at Wen Guying doubtfully and said: "The overlapping step technique is not a very advanced one, but it is It is very troublesome to practice, and it must be completely undisturbed when performing the technique, so it can hardly be used in actual combat. Even if it is used for traveling, it is not as good as the sword and the fairy boat." He was very puzzled and asked. : "Master Wen, why are you practicing this?"

Wen Guying said: "It was like this before, but now, I have improved it, and before I perform the operation, I open a hole in the heart, so won't it be completely undisturbed?"

"This..." Jin Rong choked for a moment.

"Do you want to call your master over?" Li Chuan gave Jin Rong an idea.

Jin Rong also replied softly: "Master has gone out and is not in the capital."

Wen Guying heard the conversation between the two and said, "Who do you think I am? Brother Li, take out your carriage and get on it with fellow Taoist Jin. I will take you for a spin." "

Jin Rong took two steps back and said, "I suddenly remembered that my third junior brother asked me to go with him to examine Prince Su. I'm going to take the first step. Li Chuan, Taoist Wen, we'll talk next time."

Li Chuan heard Wen Guying's voice coming from outside the carriage, so he stood up and pushed open the door. When he was about to get out of the car, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly got out of the car. He stood on a slope, not far from the fields. The wheat in the fields had been harvested long ago, and the setting sun fell on the bare field ridges.

After Li Chuan sat down in the carriage, Wen Gu slowly pulled out his sword. The reddish light flowed through the cracks in the sword body, reflecting the sunlight that was gradually setting westward.

Not long after, Li Chuan felt the carriage stop.

My life is over.

"Hurry up and talk to Bai...Lao Xiaoxiao, it's a joke," Li Chuan said, then walked to the open space in front and took out the carriage. He said, "You try quickly, it's time to have dinner later." ”

At this time, two magpies flew over. As soon as they arrived, they turned around and flew away.

Wen Guying was very speechless and said, "What have I done? Are you hiding from me like the god of plague?" He still did not give up persuading Li Chuan, saying: "Brother Li, we have known each other for almost three years, right? ? "Do you think I cheated you?"

Just as he was thinking this, he found that he was squatting quite firmly, as if there was an invisible force holding him up to prevent him from rolling with the carriage. He simply closed his eyes, covered his ears, and stopped looking, hearing, and thinking.

"We're here, Brother Li."

During tea time, he returned to Yunqiao Township.

"Okay." Wen Guying said.

Li Chuan, who was in the carriage, only felt the body jolt violently. He fell to the ground without grabbing the armrest and slid backwards. Then he heard a creaking sound and felt that the frame of the carriage was about to fall apart. He grabbed the legs of the table and was about to stand up. The carriage seemed to roll over.

With that said, he hurriedly disappeared into the courtyard.

"Who does it look like?" Wen Guying asked.

"Do you know who your tone sounds like now?" Li Chuan said.

He turned around and saw the back door of his house.

The back door was ajar but not closed. Li Chuan quickly walked to the door and then stopped. After standing for a while, he reached out and pushed open the door.

The backyard was still the same as he remembered, except there was an extra grape trellis.

There are green leaves crawling on the grape trellis, and a few bunches of unripe grapes hang down. Li Chuan looked at the ground. It was clean and had obviously been cleaned not long ago. He walked over and sat on the wicker chair under the grape trellis. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.

After sitting for a while, footsteps came from behind, and then he heard a familiar voice, "Hey? Li Chuan? Why are you here? Are you really back?"

Li Chuan turned his head and saw Monk Wukong. He laughed and said, "Well, I'm back."

He finally felt real.

He asked: "How did you know I would come back?" He didn't know it himself.

Wu Kong pointed to the grape trellis and said, "When you left, didn't I promise you that I would replant grape seedlings and put up a trellis for you? The grapes have been ripe recently, and I have been thinking that you might come back. You are a fairy Did you come back?"

"Taking a carriage, Taoist Wen sent me back." Li Chuan finally remembered Wen Guying's arrival. He stood up and was about to go find Wen Guying when Wen Guying also walked in from the back door.

"Director Wen." Wu Kong greeted Director Wen.

"Master Wukong," Wen Guying nodded in response. He also saw the grape trellis in the courtyard. He said, "Brother Li has been talking about going back to his hometown all day long and lying under the grape trellis in his yard to bask in the sun. Today he finally got his wish. ”

"This is all thanks to you, Director Wen," Li Chuan said, and couldn't help but laugh. Then he asked Wu Kong: "Did you cut the ripe grapes?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid of being pecked by birds, so I usually let the dogs watch them, and I'll cut them off when they're cooked. I kept them in the house. I originally thought that if you weren't here, I'd go to Brother Tong and Blacksmith Cen. Then give me some." Wukong replied, "I tasted it when I picked it, and it was a bit sour."

"I'm going to get two bunches to try." Li Chuan said, and then returned to the house. Sure enough, there was a basket of freshly picked grapes on the ground.

He picked up a few bunches and took them out, inviting Wen Guying and Wu Kong to come and eat the grapes.

He tasted one himself first. It was indeed not too sweet and sour, but it had a distinct fragrance.

"How long will you stay here this time?" Wu Kong asked while eating.

Li Chuan hadn't thought about this problem yet, so he looked at Wen Guying. Wen Guying said: "You rest here for a few days. I will go to Xuanshui Mountain. When I come back, I will return to the capital."

"Okay." Li Chuan said. He turned to Wu Kong and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to Tongluo and Cen Blacksmith together and let them taste the grapes."

"Okay," Wu Kong agreed immediately. After that, Wu Kong talked about what happened in Yunqiao Township when Li Chuan was away, and Li Chuan also talked about what he had seen in the capital.

After finishing the grapes, Wen Guying stood up and said, "I'm going, you guys can continue chatting." After saying that, he took a step forward, a deep red light flashed on the hilt of the sword, and when he took the second step, the figure Then disappeared.

Wu Kong looked at the place where Wen Guying was standing before, and after a while he said, "Has Daoist Wen's cultivation improved again?"

Li Chuan lay back on the wicker chair and said, "Maybe."

"Are you injured in any way?" Wu Kong asked.

"Not injured." Li Chuan denied.

"Are you sick again? Don't hide it from me. There's something wrong with your face." Wukong said.

"I'm really fine, I'm just down. I'll be fine if I just lie down for a while." Li Chuan explained, "I feel at ease when I get home."
