Chapter 479 Good News
After Li Chuan watched Wen Yao and the others leave, he went back to catch up on his sleep.

After returning to the room, he found that the utensils and items in the room were placed as before, even the pillows and bedding were exactly the same as before. Li Chuan has seen many incredible things now, but after touching the bed, he was still amazed, and felt that the Xuanmen method was convenient and practical. He really wanted to ask Yao Shuang to go with him to Yunqiao Township to help him repair the house, or simply tear it down and rebuild it. He has many friends, and the current one is too small to accommodate them.

It's not that difficult to think about.

After lying down, he closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and then lost consciousness.

This time he did not dream.

Li Chuan thought he would sleep for several days again this time, but he woke up in the evening. After waking up, he was in a trance for a while, and then the recent events emerged in his mind one by one. Finally, he seemed to have found a fixed point and knew where he was and what he had to do.

What a comfortable sleep.

Just as he was about to lie down for a while, someone knocked on the door again.

So he put on his clothes and went out. The cold wind made his nose itchy and he sneezed several times.

After opening the door, he saw Zou Jingping and Yang Shan standing outside.

"Mr. Zou, Brother Yang, come in quickly," Li Chuan was very happy to see them and said, "Come in and sit down, it's too cold outside."

After entering the house, Mr. Zou said, "I just received news that Lanshan Pavilion has been taken down."

"Really? We finally got it?" Li Chuan was even happier after hearing this. He said, "Tell me, how did you get it?"

Mr. Zou said: "We will have to wait a few more days to find out the specific situation. Mr. Chang has done a great job this time."

"Then we have to celebrate," Li Chuan said, "Well, I'll be the host today. Let's go to Chongyan Tower for dinner. If we go now, there should be seats available, right?" He said with some regret, "It's a pity that Taoist Master Wen and Senior Sister Yao are not here, and Brother Tang is not here either."

"Let's go. There will definitely be room for us." Zou Jingping said, "Let's celebrate today first, and then celebrate together when they arrive."

This suited Li Chuan's idea very well. He said, "Okay, let's go now. Wait, I'll change my clothes."

After Li Chuan changed his clothes, they got on the carriage and headed towards Chongyan Tower.

While sitting in the carriage, Zou Jingping asked Li Chuan: "Did something happen to you before? I heard loud noises coming out at Chou time. I saw traces of fighting on your clothes just now."

"Well, the two Taoist priests were there at that time. After they beat back the enemy, they went to the Four Gods Palace. After that, it is estimated that a large number of Xuanmen monks will enter Yashan County, and it may not be limited to Yashan County." Li Chuan briefly mentioned it and said, "For the details, I'll tell you after the two Taoist priests come back."

Zou Jingping also knew that this was not the time to elaborate, so he said, "Well, the enemy has revealed their whereabouts, which is a good thing."

After hearing this, Yang Shan asked, "Is that man the murderer of my sister?"

Li Chuan said: "Yes."

When Yang Shan was about to ask again, Zou Jingping said to him, "Brother Yang, don't worry. Lord Li will definitely see this matter through to the end. Just wait patiently."

"Okay." Yang Shan came to his senses.

When we arrived at Chongyan Tower, there was indeed one private room left.

Sit down and let the shopkeeper serve good food and good wine.

Then Zou Jingping carefully repeated the news he had received. After a few rounds of drinking, the three of them relaxed.

Li Chuan finished the wine in his glass and said, "When I return to the capital, I will definitely go and have a drink with Brother Chang and Miss Zhu."

After listening to Li Chuan's words, Yang Shan asked, "We have been peaceful for so many years, why does the emperor suddenly want to exterminate the monsters?"

Zou Jingping explained, "It was the Baoxing King of Lanshan Pavilion who died unexpectedly. In order to prevent the monster disaster from spreading, the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of War joined forces to send people to suppress the monster." Yang Shan said, "So that's how it is. Is the Young Master Chang you mentioned just now the general's child?"

"Yes, he is the adopted son of the general. The general did not marry, so he is the general's only child." Zou Jingping said.

Yang Shan said, "The news I heard about the general before was that he was tyrannical and extravagant." He glanced at Zou Jingping and said, "Now I know that these were deliberately spread by Prince Su, but... Mr. Zou, what kind of person is the general?"

Zou Jingping replied: "Most of what you heard should be true."

"Ah?" Yang Shan was surprised.

Zou Jingping said: "As for the general, it is difficult to describe what kind of person he is in a few words, and it is not enough to just listen to others. You can only judge for yourself."

Yang Shan murmured "hmm".

Li Chuan said: "In the future, when you go to the capital, come to the Imperial Observatory to find me, and I will take you to have a drink with Brother Chang."

"Is this okay?" Yang Shan asked.

"Why not?" Li Chuan always felt that Yang Shan was a person worth getting along with. He said, "Brother Chang is a straightforward person. You two will definitely get along well."

Yang Shan said: "Well, I will follow Mr. Zou back to the capital."

"That's fine." Li Chuan said.

Yang Shan asked curiously, "What is the Imperial Observatory like? Are there all demon hunters in it?"

"No, the Monster Hunting Bureau is just one department of the Imperial Observatory. There are many other departments. Everyone should do their own job." Li Chuan said and gave a brief introduction.

"I have too little knowledge. I thought you were specifically responsible for observing the celestial phenomena." Yang Shan said.

"I... I am responsible for replenishing things and occasionally curing illnesses and saving lives." Li Chuan said.

"That's amazing." Yang Shan admired.

The three of them chatted happily. After leaving Chongyan Tower, Li Chuan still felt a little unsatisfied, so he pulled the two to his place to sit for a while and even cooked noodles for them in a broken pot.

When it was late at night and Zou Yang and the others had left, Li Chuan still couldn't sleep, so he called the little mouse out. As soon as the little mouse showed up, he asked, "Why didn't you answer me when I called you before?"

The little mouse felt very aggrieved and said, "If I hadn't tried to warn you, would you still be yelling at me here?"

"Come on, eat some noodles to calm down. This is specially reserved for you." Li Chuan scooped a small bowl of soy sauce noodles from the pot and gave it to the little mouse.

The little mouse then started eating by grabbing the edge of the bowl.

"You said the demon spirit, what on earth is she?" Li Chuan asked, "When you were listening to Tian Su's sermon, did you hear any news about her?"

"If I knew, I would have told you before," said the little mouse.

"Think about it again? Maybe you can remember something." Li Chuan did not give up.

The little mouse really thought about it, shook his head and said, "I really don't know. But..."

"But what?" Li Chuan asked.

"Everything will eventually return to the Heart Abyss, but she has been able to stay in the Heart Abyss for such a long time... It may be because of the Dark River, which is the Woquan, and... she has always maintained some kind of connection with the world."
