ninety thousand miles

Chapter 523 Weng Xian
In the Four Gods Palace, the scenery remains the same.

After relaxing, Li Chuan's body became weaker and weaker. When he first arrived, he could still walk outside the mountain gate to drink tea. After lying down for a few days, he would gasp after taking a few steps and would fall asleep while talking.

The three masters had come to see him. They all said that if he could release all the symptoms, he would get better, and advised him not to think too much and just lie down more.

Li Chuan just lay down.

After he lay in bed for a few days, no one had time to visit him.

"You're awake?" Li Chuan looked at Wukong weakly, "How are you? Are your injuries healed?"

Wukong said: "It's all right, at least better than you."

"That's good," Li Chuan felt relieved and said, "I'll try to get better soon so I can go back to Yunqiao Township for the New Year."

"You are in this state now, you should rest in the Four Gods Palace." Wukong said.

"No, I don't think I can rest well here. I must go back to Yunqiao Township," Li Chuan said with determination, "This place is full of monks and there is no human touch. I can't get better."

"This..." Wukong was speechless.

"Yes, that must be the case," Li Chuan said confidently, "There are so many wonders and forbidden areas here, so there are also countless enchantment seals. Even the flowers, plants and trees here are unusual. These unusual auras are intertwined together. I can't feel them at ordinary times, but they are constantly corroding and oppressing my body. As a mortal, I still have to stay in the mortal world, eat and drink, and then I can get better."

Wukong understood and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll go down the mountain and buy it for you."

"Do you dislike the Four Gods Palace so much? Does Senior Brother Wen know?"

Who is speaking? This is not the voice of Master Wukong.

Then Li Chuan saw a hand on Wukong's shoulder making a "two" gesture to him.

Li Chuan felt that he had been frightened enough, so he still shrank back.

"It's me, Brother Jiang." said the hand.

"You, it's you..." Li Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, "You look pretty energetic, it seems I don't need to sew your body up."

“No, I want it!” The hand jumped up and landed on Li Chuan, saying, “Master Wang said that I am lucky to have only this hand, so he let my soul stay here temporarily. But if I don’t have a complete body, I will completely disappear one day.”

"Doesn't your brother have a..." Li Chuan somehow thought of the body prepared for Su Niang.

"No," Jiang Bai refused, saying, "We are brothers, you can't just ignore me."

"Why is the physical body no longer useful? Isn't it very precious?" Li Chuan asked.

Then he saw an expression of disgust on one of his hands.

Jiang Bai said: "If ordinary cultivators lose their physical bodies, they can only go through reincarnation or soul cultivation. How do you think that physical body was created?"

"This..." Li Chuan didn't know how to respond.

Jiang Bai jumped a few more times on the quilt and said, "Replenish your body and move around. Maybe you'll get better. Then we can go back to Yunqiao Township together and have a drink with Blacksmith Cen and Brother Tong."

Li Chuan was a little excited and said, "Then let's go outside and let me try. Where are the rest of your parts?"

"I'll get it." Jiang Bai then jumped back onto Wukong's shoulder and said, "Wukong, go get the body bag."

Body bag... "I'll go get it." Wukong said.

Then each of them took a hand and walked out of Li Chuan's room.

The room became quiet again.

Li Chuan touched his forehead and smiled.

Gong Er Pang San is still in seclusion. If they were here, he might be better off. I don't know how their sword training is going.

He got out of bed and walked out slowly. The warm sun fell on his body, which was very comfortable.

He walked around the yard twice, sweating a little, and then found a rock to sit on. He still had no strength. Today, I guess I can only see what the situation is, but I can't make up for it. I have to find two medical practitioners to ask for advice, and then go to the library to find some books to read.

It certainly can’t be made up before the New Year.

It's not that easy to repair a magic weapon, let alone a person. And judging from his spirit, he will not die for a while, and he will definitely last until the end of the New Year.

Just as I was thinking about it, another person walked in from the main gate, "Brother Chuan, can we go out for a walk today?"

As soon as Li Chuan heard the name, he knew it was Liu Yang.

Although he didn't know how old Liu Yang was, he was definitely at least a few hundred years old. Being called "brother" by someone so much older than him would shorten his lifespan, and he couldn't do that.

So Li Chuan said very seriously: "Brother Liu, you can call me Li Chuan, or... I have an official position in the Imperial Observatory, so you can call me Doctor Li."

Liu Yang didn't know why Li Chuan suddenly got so hung up on this today, but he didn't ask further. Instead, he called out, "Dr. Li."

Li Chuan nodded, feeling more energetic. He asked, "How is the discussion going over there? Have the rules been released?"

Liu Yang shook his head and said, "I am not qualified to go in and listen. Uncle Yao came out after listening for a while. I heard Uncle Yao say that the three masters have different ideas, but they all make sense."

"What should we do?" Li Chuan was very worried and said, "I think we should start this matter as soon as possible, so as not to waste all our time on scripture debate."

"It has already started." Liu Yang said.

"Start what?" Li Chuan asked.

"Exploring the remains of the demon clan, hunting down Yanyunke, and other odds and ends, as well as some preparatory work," Liu Yang sat down not far from Li Chuan and said, "Uncle Yao said that the three heads of the sect all have the same goal, which is to deal with it with all their strength, and then try their best to leave some seeds for Xuanmen."

"It may not necessarily be this bad," Li Chuan did not expect the three leaders to be so pessimistic.

Liu Yang said with a bitter face, "Brother Chuan, no, Dr. Li, that is Weng Xian. More than 20 years ago, an immortal named Yun Yi turned the entire Xuanmen upside down. A true immortal Weng Xian, that is something that we dare not even think about, and it involves the gods and demons."

As he spoke, he felt sympathetic. "If it's like 30,000 years ago, then... maybe the entire Xuanmen will be gone. If that's the case, what's the point of our hard work every day?"

"Don't say discouraging words, the battle hasn't even started yet," Li Chuan then asked, "Do you know about the deeds of Weng Xian?"

"I know a little bit," Liu Yang recalled, and said, "Wengxian is also known as Yunwengxianke. It is unknown when he became an immortal. Some say he is the fifth immortal to achieve the status of a true immortal."

"It is said that he was the leader of a tribe in ancient times. Under his leadership, the tribe became very powerful and annexed all the small tribes around it. Later, when he was fighting with another equally powerful tribe, he had just cut off the head of the leader of the other tribe when a strange wind suddenly blew up, and then he saw a group of huge strange birds flying in the sky."
