ninety thousand miles

Chapter 452 Guess
Zou Jingping also said: "I will try to collect more information about the nunnery."

"By the way, what's the name of that hunter and what does he look like?" Li Chuan asked.

Zou Jingping replied: "His name is Yang Shan. He is of medium height, with a long face, a black mole on his left eyebrow, and his right little finger is slightly turned outward."

Li Chuan wrote it down.

Tang Su asked: "Should we arrange for someone to meet you near the nunnery? If you don't come out after two hours, what can we do?"

"No need." Wen Guying replied, "If we still haven't come out in ten days, then you can pass the news back to the Imperial Observatory and let the Palace Supervisor know. He will know what to do."

Tang Su and Zou Jingping both agreed.

Seeing their serious expressions, Wen Guying comforted them, "Don't worry too much, even if there is a demon relic below, it's nothing. Senior Sister Yao has been to almost all the known demon relic in the world. Thirty thousand years ago, the gods and demons almost killed all the Xuanmen monks, but they were still defeated in the end. Now, thirty thousand years have passed. Even if there are still remnants of the demons alive, they have been lingering until now, and they are no longer a threat."

"The only thing we should be concerned about is the demon spirits and the backup plan they left behind when the gods and demons retreated 30,000 years ago. The catastrophe has already begun, and they are just trying to take advantage of the surge of catastrophe energy to gain a little chance."

"Not necessarily." Yao Shuang suddenly spoke.

Wen Guying remained calm and asked, "Senior Sister Yao, do you have any other discoveries?"

"No," Yao Shuang denied. She said, "I think there is a connection between the demon ruins."

She paused for a moment, then said, "From the existing records, we know that the gods and demons came here at almost the same time. But there are only two known ruins of the gods, and I have been to both. They are severely damaged and there is almost nothing valuable to be found. The demon ruins are different. Except for Yanqing Mountain, I have been to three of the other five. They are damaged to varying degrees, but I feel that some of them are still alive."

"Alive?" Li Chuan asked doubtfully.

"Well, that's how I feel." Yao Shuang said.

"Brother Li, let Senior Sister Yao finish speaking first." Wen Guying said.

So Li Chuan said, "Senior Sister Yao, you speak first."

Yao Shuang continued, "After exploring some ruins, I felt that the demons started a plan after they came here. They built these ruins for this plan. Maybe... they haven't given up this plan yet."

She suddenly frowned, lowered her eyes, and began to stare at the cup in front of her.

No one else in the room said anything, waiting quietly for Yao Shuang to finish thinking.

After a cup of tea, Yao Shuang spoke again and said, "There is also the Nine Peaks Immortal. Junior Brother Wen, you told me that after the Nine Peaks Immortal ascended to heaven, he set down a rule that prevented the world from touching his past, thus erasing everything he did during the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons. I don't think that's the case."

Yao Shuang quickly glanced at Wen Guying, then lowered her head and continued, "Since the gods and demons can stir up trouble in this world, it means that the way of heaven allows them to exist in this world. Therefore, after the great catastrophe of gods and demons, there will definitely be people from the two races who survive."

"You mean, the law of the Nine Peaks Immortal is aimed at the gods and demons?" Wen Guying asked.

"He wants them to forget their origins and past. He can't establish such a law, but he can erase all traces of his existence in the world. I, this..." Yao Shuang's voice also lowered, "This is my guess, there is no solid evidence to support it, but..."

"It is very likely that the evil spirit sank into the abyss of the heart, perhaps she also wanted to preserve everything she knew. Now that the catastrophe has begun, the calamity is surging, and all the laws of the world are also shaken. In addition, the evil spirit has appeared in the world, and the remnants of the demon clan are very likely to restart their plans from the past. There is just one thing..." Wen Guying's tone also became hesitant, "The evil spirit was born last year, and although the secret passage was dug in recent years, this recent years is at least five or six years ago. Therefore, there must be other remnants of the demon clan active. However, the ones who sealed the secret realm are the remnants of the demon clan, and the ones who dug the secret passage are also the remnants of the demon clan..."

"Maybe the remnants of the demon clan have also split into many factions." Li Chuan said. He took a sip of water and swallowed the food in his throat. He said, "Thirty thousand years? Let's not talk about the members of the two races of gods and demons who are still alive today. Even if they are the first ones, it would be difficult for them to maintain their original ambitions after such a long time, right?" "That's right." Wen Guying said.

"You said that the Immortal Jiufeng taught the sword skills to the general in a dream. Is it also related to the remnants of the demons?" Li Chuan suddenly thought of this.

"Maybe, but it's hard for mortals to guess the thoughts of immortals, let alone the Nine Peaks True Immortal." Wen Guying said.

Li Chuan felt that Wen Guying seemed reluctant to talk about this topic, so he agreed, "That's right."

After they had almost finished eating, Wen Guying said, "We will go explore the nunnery tomorrow. We still have some preparations to make. Let's stop here today."

"You should have a good rest. If there is anything Mr. Zou and I can do for you, please be sure to tell us. Don't be shy," said Tang Su.

"Of course." Li Chuan said.

Then, they returned to their respective residences.

After Li Chuan returned to the house, he originally wanted to go to bed directly so that he would have the energy to explore the secret passage tomorrow. However, after lying in bed for a while, he felt his stomach was bloated, probably because he had eaten too much. After all, he had eaten the most seriously in the evening meal. So he got up and prepared to walk around the courtyard twice before going back to sleep.

When he walked into the courtyard, he found Wen Guying was also in the courtyard, with his back to him, his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

This habit of lowering the head seems to be contagious.

When Li Chuan was about to call Wen Guying, Wen Guying turned around and said, "What's wrong? Are you too nervous to sleep?"

"I'm full." Li Chuan said honestly. He asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Wen Guying said: "I was thinking about the Nine Peaks Immortal."

"Have you figured it out?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying shook his head and said, "No. I originally thought that he taught the Great General's Sword Skills in his dream because he wanted to find another way to become an immortal. But now that you mentioned it, I think his intentions may be deeper, but what exactly... I can't figure it out now."

"Tang Su gave me Mingheng's notes today. The supervisor asked him to give them to me." Li Chuan said.

"Can you see the words above?" Wen Guying asked.

"I can see it, and I feel that I can find a way to control the butterfly spirits. But," Li Chuan was a little worried, "I don't think I have time to experiment right now, and the location is not suitable."

"Let me see it." Wen Guying said.

Li Chuan took out his notes and handed them to Wen Guying.

After reviewing the old text, one should flip through it and say, "Look at it first, if you can understand a little, then that's a little."
