Chapter 412 Farewell
Wen Guying quickly came up with an idea. He said, "In this way, when we return to the Four Gods Palace, we will discuss this matter with Tianyumen and Xuanyuemen. Jiang Mei and Liu Yang have both disappeared in Yashan County. Now that we have clues, it’s time to discuss how to deal with the emergence of the demon spirit.”

"Isn't there something wrong with Xuanyue Gate?" Li Chuan asked.

"Elder Xiao has a problem. I don't know what Liu Yang said yet. Let's take this opportunity to take a look at what's going on in the Xuanyue Sect." Wen Guying gently flicked the pot surface with his hand, and the full moon appeared in the water ripples. Shaking, he said: "It may not be that only the disciples of Xuanyue Sect and Xumi Mountain are involved in this matter. It's hard to say from the Four Gods Palace, Tianyu Sect, other sects..."

"Why?" Li Chuan was puzzled.

Zhu Qingyun said: "They may be like Master Tingdeng, who accidentally entered a ruins of gods and demons, and thought this was their chance."

"That's true." Wen Guying said, "Befriending the great demon, or even helping Prince Su fight for the world, is nothing. As for the fact that the Devouring Souls are the White Walkers, we have just found out. However, the birth of demon spirits has a different meaning. ”

"Xuanmen monk, you can do whatever you want." Li Chuan said.

"No, there are sect rules and some consensus." Wen Guying said.

"What consensus?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said: "For example, you cannot practice with the flesh, blood, and soul of living beings." He looked at Zhu Qingyun and said, "Your master was considered an evil cultivator by some monks before because he killed too many monsters."

"Those monsters killed many innocent people." Zhu Qingyun immediately defended Gong Wuguang.

"So he didn't cross the line, but..." Before Wen Guying could finish speaking, Gong Wuguang's voice came out of the door. He said: "I was young and frivolous at that time, and I didn't know the heights of the world. I just thought that I could eliminate harm to the people. And if you solve the problem of your own cultivation resources, you can kill everyone.”

"Why doesn't this work?" Li Chuan was puzzled.

"It's okay to kill demons. After killing them, you can directly use their flesh and blood and souls to practice, which is close to what evil cultivators do." Wen Guying explained.

"There were indeed a few people whose souls were devoured by me, and it was true that they were at the end of their rope," Gong Wuguang said frankly about his past, "Most of the time, I just refined them into myself. Some of the required materials are for my own use, and some are just exchanged with other monks.”

After Gong Wuguang and Jin Rong sat down, Gong Wuguang said: "There is also the restriction of heaven."

"If a monk gives up on ascension, or knows that there is no hope of ascension, heaven will find it difficult to restrain him." Wen Guying said.

"That's not the case, it's just that the way of heaven has its own laws of operation." Gong Wuguang said.

Then Li Chuan listened to Gong Wuguang and Wen Guying talking one by one. Zhu Qingyun and Jin Rong both listened attentively, with expressions of understanding.

"The great road is ruthless," Wen Guying said.

"The way of heaven is the way of the world." Gong Wuguang said.

"..."

Finally, the two nodded at the same time, as if they had reached an agreement.

Wen Guying said: "The ancient immortal Tiansu followed the way of heaven to match the way of heaven."

Gong Wuguang said: "But the way of heaven does not want to return to the abyss of the heart."

Before Li Chuan could ask, Gong Wuguang explained to him, saying: "For the way of heaven, there is no difference between humans and demons. The only reason why humanity can support the way of heaven is that only in this way can the fall of this world be avoided or slowed down. The speed of the heart.”

Wen Guying said: "The three realms arise from the abyss of the heart and will eventually return to the abyss of the heart."

Gong Wuguang said: "The restraints of Heaven on all things also originate from this. Therefore, the likes and dislikes of Heaven are not completely consistent with the good and evil of the world. The retribution of Heaven sometimes comes very late, and the results are... often unexpected. "Is there an evil cultivator who can ascend to immortality despite committing many crimes? Li Chuan asked.

"It's hard to say, but it is wrong for people to use their own delusions to deceive the way of heaven, just like Prince Su." Gong Wuguang said, "The demon star is about to appear. This is not a secret, but it is not colluding with the great demon. Helping the demon star to be born will be in harmony with the way of heaven."

"Then how can we slow down the speed of the world falling into the abyss of the heart?" Li Chuan asked.

"There should be a lot of discussion about this in the immortal world. As for us... we are not qualified to discuss this yet." Gong Wuguang said.

"Reproduction and inheritance." Wen Guying said.

Gong Wuguang thought for a while and said, "That's true." Then he changed the topic and asked Li Chuan and Zhu Qingyun: "Are you going to watch the lantern festival tonight?"

"That's right," Zhu Qingyun said, and took out the lantern made by Li Chuan to show it to Gong Wuguang and Jin Rong, "This is made by Li Chuan. Second Senior Brother, look at the lotus you painted on it."

Jin Rong took a closer look and said, "Already compiled? It's amazing! If I had known, I would have written another poem on it yesterday."

Gong Wuguang looked at it and said: "The weaving is excellent, every bamboo thread is in the right position, and it seems to have been tempered again."

Li Chuan smiled and said modestly: "It's okay, it's okay." He finally remembered that he came to see Wen Guying for one more thing. He asked: "By the way, Master Wen, what kind of formation is carved on this lamp?" good?"

Wen Guying said: "Let me think about it..."

"How about carving a golden lotus array to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and settle down the house." Gong Wuguang suggested.

"Excellent." Wen Guying said, taking the lotus lamp over. He looked at it for a while, then pulled out the Tianqi Sword. After a while, the formation was engraved on the base.

After the formation was carved, Wen Guying told Gong Wuguang what Li Chuan had discovered. He said: "Both the demon spirit and the half-demon woman are strange ghosts, and one was in the Wo Pond and the other was in the underground river in the heart." "Bian, they may have been in contact a long time ago."

"Even everything the half-demon woman did came from the teachings of the demon spirit. The demon spirit was forced to be born, and she needed helpers, and the half-demon woman may be the only person she can completely trust."

Then he expressed his thoughts again: "Through the cooperation of the three factions, spread the news that I am going to Guiyin Cave to see the half-demon woman. If the demon comes at that time, there will be a chance to catch her, and We can use this to find the monks who are connected with Prince Su."

Wen Guying said: "And even if she doesn't come... Brother Li is in Yashan County, she will definitely take action again, and there will be a chance then."

"You can give it a try," Gong Wuguang said. His eyes stopped on the full moon in the pot. He said, "This 'full moon' should also be an extremely important object."

"You mean to use it as bait to attract demon spirits to appear?" Wen Guying asked.

Gong Wuguang said: "Yes. I suspect that its recent changes are also related to demon spirits. After the old palace master has seen it, Li Chuan, you might as well refine it into..." He glanced at the bamboo lotus and said, "Refining If it becomes a wick, maybe the demon spirit will take the risk and sneak into the Four Gods Palace."

"You can try it." Wen Guying said.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Chuan and Zhu Qingyun returned to Sanyi Hutong. They took Gong Er Pang San and lanterns to Dongcheng to watch the lantern festival.

Lanterns of various colors were hung all over the streets, and the colorful lights were gorgeous. They went shopping, eating, drinking, watching the lanterns and listening to music, and played until late at night.

After that, Li Chuan stayed in Beijing for another three days, and then went to the Four Gods Palace with Wen Guying.
