ninety thousand miles

Chapter 489 Discovery
"Let's give it a try." Wen Guying said.

Then Li Chuan saw the black shovel spinning in countless positions at a speed he couldn't recognize, as if dancing in the air with ever-changing shadows. Then, like a downpour, it poured down towards the stone platform.

Something was cut off.

Li Chuan thought so and regretted not concentrating on looking. As he thought so, he took the Tianyin Pot and the Butterfly Spirit in his hands.

The runes on the stone platform solidified when the black shovel fell, and then Li Chuan saw an extremely tall and majestic stone platform, standing tall in front of the four of them. He, Wukong, Wen Guying, and Yao Shuang stood in the shadow of the stone platform, looking up at the stone platform that towered into the sky, small and humble.

Li Chuan looked at Yao Shuang.

The black shovel quickly drew a series of runes on the stone platform, and the flickering light reflected in her pupils.

Dense runes covered the surface of the stone platform like lightning. A deafening explosion sounded, and the majestic stone platform cracked from the edge to the center.

The stone platform is sinking.

Li Chuan felt that he was also sinking.

Gravel fell from the stone platform like rain, and strange runes flickered between the rubble and the void. Li Chuan looked up, and in the flying dust, he seemed to see a pattern gradually coming together.

"Tianyin Pot."

It was the voice of Master Wen.

Li Chuan immediately wiped the Tianyin pot, and then, it seemed as if someone pulled him, and he felt that he was standing on the ground. Yes, he did not fall down again, but stood next to a short tree. The four of them were standing well, and the stone platform was lying quietly in front of them, just as they saw it for the first time.

Yao Shuang said, "It was the same last time. It was Senior Brother Jiang who pulled me out."

"You can stop now." Wen Gu responded to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan stopped the sound of the kettle and asked, "Was it another illusion just now?"

"No, it was a killing array." Yao Shuang replied, "We woke up in time this time and didn't get too deeply involved. If we were a little slower, we would definitely have been injured."

Li Chuan thought about it and said, "I think there might be a solution."

"How to solve it?" Wen Guying asked.

Li Chuan described the scene he saw and said, "I think I can use the sound of the pot to control the pattern and see if I can destroy it."

"You can give it a try..."

"That's a demon rune. It's impossible..."

Wen Guying's voice sounded at the same time as Yao Shuang's.

So Wen Gu responded to Yao Shuang and said, "You have already felt Brother Li's strength. The "Wen Jing" is different from the system we practiced in the past. You think you can't do it, but Brother Li may not be unable to do it."

Yao Shuang looked down at her toes for a while, then said, "Okay, I'll try again."

After saying that, the black shovel started dancing again.

"Wait a minute!" Li Chuan shouted.

Yao Shuang turned her head and looked at him.

Li Chuan said: "Let me make some preparations, and I want to see your movements clearly. Also, I want to take another look at the stone platform."

"Then I'll go slower. Tell me when you're better." Yao Shuang agreed immediately.

Li Chuan nodded, and the butterfly spirit between his fingers gradually lit up, and a full moon emerged from the butterfly's belly. He walked to the side of the stone platform, squatted down, and concentrated. As expected, the runes on the stone platform, and even the stone platform itself, all opened up layer by layer in his field of vision.

He felt a sense of heaviness. It was just a small stone platform, but the dots and horizontal lines were stacked up in his eyes. He thought of the towering stone platform he had seen before. Perhaps, that was its true appearance.

Li Chuan suppressed his thoughts and carefully sorted them out. Gradually, he was able to sort out several parts, but it was too thick. To figure it out bit by bit, he would have to stay here for ten days, half a month, or even a month.

One month... and another year will pass...

If you can figure it out, you have to figure it out. You can't keep it vague.

Li Chuan watched it bit by bit.

After Wen Guying watched Li Chuan's actions for a while, he asked Wu Kong: "How did you meet Yan Yunke?"

"I, I followed the method of the Monster Hunting Division, left a message, and planned to look for it in the direction indicated by the rune on the stone platform. I also thought that reciting the scripture would be useful, and maybe I could use it to find Brother Jiang and the others." Wukong said: "So, I didn't go to find those monster hunters, but explored along the direction indicated by the rune, and... from time to time, I would recite the scripture in a low voice to observe whether the surrounding scenery would change."

He reflected for a moment and said, "Actually, something was wrong with me at that time, but I didn't realize it."

"Are you still feeling irritated now?" Wen Guying asked.

Master Wukong said: "There is still a little bit."

"The monster hunter who traveled with you might have been influenced by you," Wen Guying said.

"Me?" Wukong asked.

"The energy overflowing from the stone platform affected you, and then you affected others. The closer you were to the stone platform, the greater the impact, which eventually led to them fighting each other nearby. Then, you recited scriptures to make the stone platform appear, which made Senior Yanyun notice you." Wen Guying said.

"Now that I think about it, it's very likely that this is the case," Wukong confirmed Wen Guying's speculation. He said, "After I walked alone for a while, I suddenly found traces of monsters. Now that I think about it, it was also arranged by him."

"I followed these 'clues' for a few days and found the place where the monsters gathered. I originally wanted to avoid it, but I heard a little monster talking about turning the monks into jerky to eat. I thought he might be talking about Brother Jiang and his friends, so I wanted to listen more, but I was exposed and started fighting with them."

Wukong said: "I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, I was right where you found me?"

Wen Guying nodded and said, "Brother Li seems to have discovered something."

They all looked towards Li Chuan's position again.

……

Maybe if we make it move, it will be easier to distinguish.

Li Chuan thought about this, stood up, took a few steps back, and said, "Senior Sister Yao, let's do it."

The black shovel flew into the air.

Everything in Li Chuan's vision became more chaotic, with dots and horizontal lines squeezed together and changing in disorder, as if two forces were fighting each other. After a while, he felt dizzy, and then the feeling of sinking appeared again.

He strained to look upward and caught a glimpse of the pattern gradually coming together.

The gentle and soft sound of the pot sounded again.

The sound of the pot spread out in ripples, and Li Chuan felt a cool breeze blowing on him. He calmed down, took a deep breath, focused his attention, and then used the ripples to get closer and control the pattern that was about to be pieced together.

The ripples spread.

Li Chuan finally saw the pattern clearly. It looked like some kind of formation, and there seemed to be many things superimposed in the formation.

As the ripples rose and fell, they gradually absorbed the patterns.

Li Chuan looked more and more intently.
