ninety thousand miles

Chapter 435 Fantasy
Li Chuan saw himself sitting up from the bed and walking into the full moon. After that, everything he saw was covered with a layer of faint moonlight. He walked diagonally, trying his best to stand up straight, but his body unconsciously leaned to one side, and the light on the ground was like water in a basin, swaying back and forth.

After walking into the courtyard, the light was not so shaky. Li Chuan tried to straighten his body and saw the full moon hanging on the pear tree in front of him. The moonlight was dotted on the branches, just like a tree of pear blossoms in full bloom.

He sat down on the steps, the moonlight shining on his shoes, his robe, his hands and his face.

Six or seven days have passed. The old palace master and his men should have contacted the upper realm and asked the Three Ancients and Seven True Beings. I don't know what the result was.

Before I knew it, I had been in the Four Gods Palace for more than a month.

Balls of moonlight fell in front of him, and finally he stretched out his hand and caught a little light.

Concentrate.

The light in his hand was made up of many circles connected together, with three small circles embedded in the big circle. The small circles kept rotating, gradually connecting a series of units, gradually turning into a long chain, and gradually filling the area around him.

He closed his eyes and everything faded away.

After opening his eyes again, he looked at the full moon on the pear tree for a while, his mind moved, and he concentrated again.

This time he tried to control these units. He wanted to form a sword formation. Mu Ling's was too complicated, so he only needed one layer, and then...

He picked up a unit and placed it in the middle, then surrounded it. After the structure stabilized, he put it together with another identical structure...

Gradually he pieced together a simple but complete sword formation.

You have to get moving.

How should he drive it? With his heart, should he dig out his heart? He touched his chest, his heartbeat was very steady. After a long time, he smiled, flicked his hand, and broke up the sword formation, then he started to put together other things.

He is piecing together the patterns from the Wen Jing.

So far, he has only learned two patterns, Surge and Parasite. But he also takes out the other patterns from time to time to look at them. Even if he forgets them after looking at them, the frequent viewings still leave some traces in his memory. At this moment, he feels that his memory is clearer than ever before, so much so that he can actually remember quite a few patterns.

So he spelled them out.

Strange patterns appeared one by one around him, swaying in the moonlight. Li Chuan was drunk, completely immersed in the continuous piecing together of the patterns until he had pieced out all the patterns in his memory.

When he looked up again, he saw that the full moon had turned into a point of light, and those strange patterns were changing into various postures around the full moon.

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to grab the full moon, but suddenly found that the full moon was in his own hand. Then, he felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and heard someone calling him.

"Brother Li!"

Li Chuan saw a familiar figure in the light. The figure stretched out his hand towards him and waved in front of his eyes for a few times. His vision gradually returned to normal, and he could see clearly the person coming from above - Wen Guying.

Li Chuan was delighted and was about to stand up, but he found his body was so stiff that he couldn't move.

"Brother Li, your life has become increasingly absurd. When you get drunk, you just lie down in the yard all night..." Wen Guying squatted down beside Li Chuan and said, "Do you want to drink a little more to sober up?"

Wen Guying took out a pill and fed it into his mouth.

The pill was bitter and had a fishy smell, but after taking it, Li Chuan soon felt his body was back under control. He sat up, then felt something strange in his right hand. He raised his hand and spread his fingers, and saw the butterfly spirit lying in the palm of his hand.

After they felt better, they sat on the steps and chatted.

"What's going on?" Wen Guying asked.

Li Chuan recounted what happened last night, and then said: "I don't know, whether it was a dream or something else..." He rubbed his brows, "But I may know how to refine the 'Full Moon'."

"Let's talk about it when you feel better." Wen Guying said.

"It's all the same." Li Chuan said. Wen Guying did not persuade him any more, but said: "It is a happy thing that Mu Ling can step into the sword formation. Elder Mi, you can finally become an immortal with peace of mind."

"Elder Mi is going to ascend to heaven?" Li Chuan was surprised.

Wen Guying said, "It's probably been about one or two hundred years. He has many disciples, but none of them have talent in sword formation."

"He asked me to go to Sword Island to get a sword before leaving the Four Gods Palace," said Li Chuan.

"He actually gave you a sword?" Wen Guying was surprised and said, "I also gained enlightenment on Jiandao Island. At that time, there was a sword that was destined to be with me, so I asked Elder Mi for it. Do you know what he did?"

"What did you do?" Li Chuan asked.

"He hid the sword and didn't let me find it. Then he told me with a stern face that the sword and I were not destined to be together." Wen Guying said with a smile.

Li Chuan was speechless for a moment, then he asked about Wen Guying's injury: "Are you healed?"

Wen Gu should say: "It's all right."

"Master Chu wants to confront you face to face." Li Chuan said.

"I'm also waiting for him to give me an explanation." Wen Guying said.

Li Chuan paused and asked again: "Master Tinghai is dead?"

Wen Guying replied: "He is dead, but it was not me who did it."

"Who is it?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying then talked about his experience on this trip, "After Master Tinghai left the capital, I followed him, intending to wait for an opportunity to take action. But he did not return to Mount Xumi, but went to Jinhong County."

"Why did he go to Jinhong County? To look for Wukong?" Li Chuan asked.

"He went to Chongfu Temple, where the abbot received him and arranged for him to stay. At night, he quietly went out and went to the place where Wukong rescued the old monk." Wen Guying said.

"Did Wukong tell him all this?" Li Chuan was very puzzled.

"It shouldn't be Wukong who said it, but he guessed it based on the clues revealed in Wukong's words and some mysterious methods." Wen Guying answered, and then continued: "Master Tingdeng stayed by the river for three hours. When the sky began to brighten, he left again and walked into the depths of the nearby mountains and forests."

"I wanted to find out what he was trying to do, so I followed him. He walked for a long time in the woods, and finally he stopped by a fir tree and began to dig in the ground."

"What did he dig up?" Li Chuan asked.

"A box, and inside it is a relic." Wen Guying said.

"This... is the old monk's ashes?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying nodded and said, "When he opened the box and tried to take out the relic, a bright Buddha light suddenly shone from the box. When he was illuminated by it, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately ran away, but it was too late. All his Buddhist cultivation was gone."

"and then?"

"Maybe he sensed my presence before he died, and kept repeating a word in my direction?"

"What word?"

"Qinling."
