ninety thousand miles

Chapter 483 Fishing
The next morning, they set off for Qinling Mountains.

Not long after they set out, it began to rain with snowflakes in the rain. After leaving the city, Yao Shuang cast a spell on the carriage, saying that it could hide their traces and aura. After that, the carriage passed through Sanghu County, circled a few times, and then headed straight for Qinling Mountains.

The rain lasted for a long time, and it didn't stop until they reached Qinling Mountains.

After entering the Qinling Mountains, the light became increasingly dimmer.

"Senior Sister Yao, have you found anything?" Wen Guying asked.

Yao Shuang had been sitting with her eyes closed. After hearing Wen Guying's question, she opened her eyes and said, "No. I feel that my spiritual consciousness is here, but it is blocked by something. Although I can still see far away, I can't see clearly. How about you?"

"Me too." Wen Guying said.

"We have already had a direct confrontation with the demons. They must know that we will track them to Qinling, right?" Li Chuan looked out the window. He thought about the information he knew several times in his mind. The more he thought about it, the heavier his heart became. He said, "I wonder how Master Wukong is doing. And Jiang and Liu, I wonder how they will treat them."

He said, "Besides the demon spirit, the people we know about there are Elder Xiao, Yan Yunke, and an elder from Qing Sect..." Li Chuan counted the people, "There are probably some cultivators and monsters, as well as some of Prince Su's old subordinates..."

At this time, Wen Guying stopped the car and said, "We are at Songlin. Let's get off here and walk over."

After Yao Shuang performed the spell again, they got off the carriage.

Wen Guying looked into the distance through the pine forest and said, "That Qing Sect elder should be Jiang Lei. He...he was exiled by the Qing Sect because he used Qing Sect's forbidden techniques many times, causing serious consequences and refused to change his ways despite repeated admonitions."

"Can you still be an elder?" Li Chuan asked.

"Well, more than 800 years ago, after the Qing Sect changed its leader, he seemed to go back once and eased the relationship. You have to ask the people in the Qing Sect about the details." Wen Guying said.

"So that's it." Li Chuan said.

Then he continued, "These people know we are coming, Master Wen, do you think they will defend Qinling Mountains to the death, or will they move to other places?"

Without waiting for Wen Guying to answer, he said, "If it were me, knowing that I was being watched by the Xuanmen, I would definitely think of escaping first and hiding for a while."

The ground was wet. When he stepped on the dead leaves, he could hear the sound of water. Fortunately, his cloak protected his shoes from getting wet. But compared to Wen Yao and the others, his footsteps were still particularly harsh.

Wen Guying walked in front and said, "They didn't escape."

"Really?" Li Chuan asked.

Wen Guying said, "Senior Sister Yao and I went back to the Four Gods Palace to see if they would take the initiative to leave Yashan County. If they did, that would be great."

Li Chuan asked: "Why?"

Wen Guying replied: "Because Gong Wuguang... I also want to do my best to protect the fortune of the Great Jiang Dynasty. If the three on the opposite side really fight to the death, the entire Yashan County will be affected, and even... the damage will be greater than the collapse of the ruins of Huaian Mountain."

Huai'an Mountain. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

"Can we create a barrier to encircle the Qinling Mountains?" Li Chuan asked immediately.

"It's hard to do," Wen Guying said, "The last time with the demon spirit, it was because she had revealed her true form in front of you and you had occupied almost all of her mind, that Senior Sister Yao and I had a chance."

"How will they deal with us? How can we deal with them?" Li Chuan asked. Wen Guying stopped and looked ahead and said, "They haven't left, which means there is something here that they can't give up. We just need to find that thing and that's it."

"How to find it?" Li Chuan asked.

"What do you think?" Wen Guying asked back.

Li Chuan thought about it seriously and said, "We still have to find the stone platform first. Master Wukong is not a conservative person. He must have discovered something before he chose to continue investigating. If he can find it, I think there is no reason why we can't find it. If it is too difficult, Wukong may give us a hint, unless... unless they noticed it and did something with it."

Then he said, "Although they knew we would come and had made arrangements, they could not confirm when we would come or where we would come from. So, wait, you just used your divine sense to detect, wouldn't they have discovered you?"

Yao Shuang answered him, "No. The atmosphere in Qinling Mountains is mixed, and we have all disguised ourselves."

Li Chuan asked: "So they don't control Qinling either?"

"No, they just occupied a place in Qinling. It's impossible to occupy the entire Qinling." Wen Guying said, "Besides, if they wantonly cover the entire Qinling with their divine consciousness, we will be able to find them. So they are currently just using some means to restrict all people and cultivators from entering Qinling."

Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and stepped heavier. He asked, "Is there any metaphysical method to find out where Jiang Mei and Liu Yang are? Didn't the old palace master and his team try it?"

"Ordinary means are useless." Wen Guying said.

"Then we can only take it one step at a time." Li Chuan sighed, and then speculated, "They must be constantly investigating the situation in Qinling Mountains. Should we think of a way to lure them out? Maybe if we rescue them one by one, we can catch a bunch of them?"

"It's not impossible." Wen Guying said.

"Should we disguise ourselves before coming here? For example, disguise ourselves as monster catchers? There should be some monster catchers here now, right? Is it too late for us now?" Li Chuan was a little annoyed.

"It won't work, let's go." Wen Guying said.

Then they continued walking forward, and after more than an hour they finally walked out of the pine forest.

The ground became increasingly muddy.

Li Chuan saw the stream that Wukong mentioned.

The light was too dim and it was raining. Li Chuan could only make out there was a stream ahead. He followed Wen Guying and walked forward a few quick steps. Then he looked around for the stone platform.

"Be careful." Yao Shuang suddenly spoke.

Li Chuan immediately retracted his steps, and then he saw Wen Guying's sword flying into the stream, splashing water high in the rain, and there seemed to be a flash of silver light, and then it was caught in Wen Guying's hand.

Fish demon? Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying's hand. At this time, Wen Guying turned around and saw a silver fish flapping in his hand.

"Brother Li, we finally found something edible. Take out your pot and make a pot of fish soup." Wen Guying said to Li Chuan.

"Ah," Li Chuan didn't know for a moment whether Wen Guying was joking or really wanted to drink the fish soup, but he still took out the pot, walked to Wen Guying, looked at the fish monster and said, "One is not enough, right?"
