ninety thousand miles

Chapter 450 Dao Heart
Seeing Li Chuan's worried expression, Tang Su comforted him and said, "I have arranged several demon hunters who have worked with us many times over in Qinling. There is no news coming, which means everything is normal for now."

"Yeah, I understand." Li Chuan said.

Tang Su said: "The current situation is temporarily under control, just as Mr. Zou said. But with so many demon catchers here, and more on their way, it is always a hidden danger."

"Moreover, from the news leaked by those monsters, we can know that some of the monsters that gathered under Prince Su have dispersed, but some are still hiding in Yashan County."

He asked: "Dr. Li, what do you think we should do next?"

Li Chuan thought for a while and asked, "Brother Tang, what do you think?"

Tang Su really had a plan in mind. He said, "My idea is, since we are going to find the monster that killed Prince Su, let's just make it happen."

"What do you mean?" Li Chuan asked.

Tang Su said, "There are still a few demons in the jail. I want to try them again and see if I can get anything out of them."

"Can the prison here hold them all?" Li Chuan asked.

"The prison instruments were all brought from Beijing," Tang Su replied.

Li Chuan was relieved. He said, "Brother Tang, please continue."

Tang Su said, "If we can find out something, that would be great. If not... the place where the demon plague first appeared, the distribution of the cases, and the order of events have almost been sorted out. I guess at least some of them live in the Four Disease Cave, where the great demon Liu Yu is the king of the mountain."

He looked at Zou Jingping and asked, "Mr. Zou, are you familiar with the Four Disease Cave?"

Zou Jingping shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with him. I hadn't entered the General's Mansion at that time."

Tang Su said: "There are only some brief records in the Monster Hunting Department. Then we should send people to investigate first. If those monsters are indeed gathered there, we can find a way to defeat them."

"Rely on these people now?" Zou Jingping frowned and said, "Not appropriate."

"Dr. Li, can you help?" Tang Su asked Li Chuan.

"Me? I..." Li Chuan thought for a moment and said honestly, "It's not that I can't do it, but I just can't tell friend from foe."

Tang Su was silent for a while. He looked at Wen Guying and Yao Shuang and asked, "Master Wen, Master Yao, can you help?"

Wen Guying did not refuse and said, "I can. But we have to go to the nunnery first. Let's discuss it after we leave the nunnery."

Tang Su said: "Well, I just told you my thoughts. There is no rush to make a decision now."

Zou Jingping also said, "Dr. Li, the place to live has been cleaned up. It's on the back street of the county government office. You can rest for a while. I have booked a banquet at Chongyanlou tonight. Just have a simple meal."

Li Chuan also wanted to discuss the affairs of Yashan County with Wen Guying and Yao Shuang, so he said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Zou and Brother Tang for your hard work."

After Zou Jingping and Tang Su sent Li Chuan and the other two to their residence, they left.

When Li Chuan was about to go into the house, Yao Shuang said, "I think we should go to the Four Disease Caves first."

Li Chuan turned around in surprise. He didn't expect that the first person to speak would be Yao Shuang, who had been silent the whole time.

Yao Shuang lowered his head and said, "The hunter has been missing for half a month. He is in great danger. Even if we set out now, we can't save his life. And I don't agree to go deep into the secret passage without any exploration."

"As for the Four Disease Caves... I still think that Senior Brother Jiang and Junior Brother Liu are likely to be there. After we find them, Senior Brother Jiang is not to be mentioned, and Junior Brother Liu is also quite capable. With the two of them joining us, we can continue to explore..."

Li Chuan was a little shaken.

Wen Guying said, "To the nunnery. This trip was delayed for half a month because of me. If I don't save the hunter, it will affect my Taoism."

Yao Shuang said: "No matter when you come back, we will not arrive in Qingtan County earlier than today. You are waiting for the old palace master's conclusion, and since the old palace master has cast a glance at Yashan County, he must have chosen the most appropriate time for you." Wen Guying said: "But I can't get over it."

"Okay." Yao Shuang said.

Then, Yao Shuang asked, "Then let's go explore the surroundings of the nunnery without further delay."

Now?

Li Chuan was about to agree when he heard Wen Guying say, "Okay, I'll go with you, but I still have a few words to say to Brother Li."

Yao Shuang said: "I'll wait for you outside."

After the door closed, Wen Guying said to Li Chuan: "We will try to come back before dinner. If we can't make it back in time, please tell them."

Li Chuan said, "Okay, go ahead and don't worry."

"As for the matter of Prince Su's letter, I saw it from Xiaoxiang's memory before. At that time, I thought it was a trap, so I didn't tell you." Wen Guying said.

"I understand." Li Chuan said.

"I always feel that the hunter knows something." Wen Guying pondered for a while and said, "In any case, you should have a good rest and try not to go out. Qingtan County is not safe."

"Okay, I...I'll just read here and sleep. I won't go out."

"Then I'll leave." After Wen Guying said this, he turned around and walked out.

Li Chuan looked at the empty courtyard and suddenly realized something. After standing for a while, he shook his head and walked into the house. After a round, he chose a room with better lighting and sat down.

He thought carefully about what Zou Jingping and Tang Su had said several times in his mind, and suddenly remembered that Zou Jingping had said that the secret passage under the nunnery was something that had been unearthed in recent years.

If so, where did the demon runes on it come from? Could it be that the demon spirits really set a trap there?

Li Chuan thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what to do next, so he simply gave up thinking about it and took out the butterfly spirit to take a closer look.

After refining it, he never had time to study it.

Just as he was concentrating and entering a mysterious state, he heard a knock on the door.

"Dr. Li, are Taoist Master Wen and Taoist Master Yao here? I am Tang Su."

Li Chuan quickly came out of his state, calmed himself down, walked out, and saw Tang Su standing in the courtyard.

"Brother Tang, is there anything wrong?" Li Chuan asked.

Tang Su looked behind him and found that only Li Chuan was there, so he asked, "Are you alone?"

"Yes, they are out investigating. Come in and talk." Li Chuan invited Tang Su to come in, and after he sat down, he asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Tang Su said, "Well, the warden asked me to bring something to you."

"What is it?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's Mingheng's notes." Tang Su said, handing a book to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan thought it looked familiar. After he opened it, he found that this time, he could see the words and patterns on it.
