ninety thousand miles

Chapter 546: Impatient
Xuanshui Mountain.

Li Chuan felt that he had grasped something.

After he came to this world, the first time he heard the little mouse's cry was the night after he repaired the pot. The little mouse appeared in the secret realm of Xuanshui Mountain after the ancient mirror was broken. The patterns on the ancient mirror were very similar to the patterns in the "Pattern Sutra".

Of all the magic weapons, formations, tangible and intangible objects he had seen, the only one he could tell at a glance was related to the "Pattern Sutra" was the ancient mirror.

So the destination is Xuanshui Mountain?

No, Li Chuan shook his head, it’s not Xuanshui Mountain, but the "Wen Jing".

He took out the "Wen Jing" from his chest.

It is the "Wen Jing".

This is when the legend of Tian Su creating the "Wen Jing" appeared.

The rain curtain was getting thicker and thicker. When would that be? Was it in the ancient times, when Tiansu was born? Could the Temple of the Heroes have traveled so far back?

Li Chuan intuitively felt that this was unlikely.

In the murals of the Temple of the Gods, he saw the White Walkers coming and causing the main peak to break. Under the lake, he also saw thousands of roads infested by White Walkers.

Therefore, the retreat of the Temple of the Gods and Tiansu’s move must be related to the White Walkers.

The further back you go, the more power is required.

If he had gone back to ancient times, why didn't Tiansu stop the White Walkers from coming?

So... a thought came to his mind. Tiansu did not create the "Wen Jing". He was very sure of this. This was one of the few things that the little mouse remembered. So it was Tiansu who tampered with the "Wen Jing". He changed the memory of everyone after that. That time point was the end of the Shenxia Temple, and also the end of Tiansu in this life.

Tiansu has fallen.

When Tiansu of this life met Tiansu of that life, more than a thousand years ago, no, before Tao Gong awakened his spiritual wisdom, it was the moment when the cave began to decline.

Then… what did the seventeen descendants of the "Wen Jing" before him do? Did they also participate in this magnificent retrograde movement?

Or is it just him?

I want to go to Xuanshui Mountain again.

Thinking that there was one more place to go, Li Chuan sighed slightly. He stretched out his hand and was about to close the window when he heard some noises. He stuck his head out a little and saw Liu Yang standing in the yard, looking like he had just returned.

Liu Yang also saw Li Chuan and asked, "Dr. Li, why are you still awake so late?"

"Well, I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep well." Li Chuan said. He asked: "Where did you go? And where is Master Jiang?"

Liu Yang said: "We went to Ziyun Cave..."

"Let's talk inside, it's raining heavily outside." Li Chuan said. Although he knew Liu Yang was not afraid of wind and rain, he still felt uncomfortable seeing him standing in the rain.

When Liu Yang walked into the main room, Li Chuan also came out.

Liu Yang continued his previous words and said, "Brother Jiang found a hidden cave inside. He is observing the operation of the formation. I estimate that it will take a few days. I can't do anything, so I came back first."

"Is it a very complicated formation?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's not very complicated. It's not difficult to break it open, but Jiang..." Liu Yang saw Li Chuan found the tea set, and he said, "No need to bother..."

"I want to drink some tea, can you boil some water?" Li Chuan said.

"Okay, I'll make tea." As he said that, Liu Yang took out a stove and a clay pot. After setting them up, he thought for a while, then took out some fruits and put them on the stove.

The two of them sat down around the stove, and soon the room was filled with the aroma of fruit and tea.

After drinking the tea, Li Chuan asked again: "What happened to that formation?"

Liu Yang said: "Brother Jiang felt that the formation was quite ingenious and suspected that it was transformed from an ancient formation that had been lost, so he wanted to observe it for a few more days."

"So that's how it is. Are there any monsters in Ziyun Cave?" Li Chuan asked.

"No, we didn't see it anyway." Liu Yang replied.

"What about the surrounding villages?" Li Chuan asked.

"I didn't pay much attention. There are soldiers guarding the several entrances to Ziyun Cave. The surrounding villages should be safe." Liu Yang said.

Li Chuan nodded.

"Are you worried that monsters will attack the village?" Liu Yang asked.

"A little bit." Li Chuan glanced at Liu Yang and asked, "Are you going to the sky tomorrow?"

"It's empty." Liu Yang said.

"I want to go out for a walk, go around the county, and then go to Xuanshui Mountain. If there's still time, I'll go to Xialin Village." Li Chuan said, "Will you come with me?"

"Don't you want to rest for a few days?" Liu Yang was very surprised, and then he advised: "Dr. Li, don't worry, rest for a few more days, and go after the New Year. By then, Brother Jiang will be back, and you can save a lot of time on the road by taking his boat."

"That's fine." Li Chuan also realized that he was a little anxious, "I just thought of something and wanted to confirm it."

"Then let's wait a few more days." Li Chuan made a decision, and he also took this opportunity to think more about Xuanshui Mountain, the Temple of the Heroes, and what he had experienced along the way.

There can be no rush.

After figuring it out, Li Chuan felt sleepy. After chatting with Liu Yang for a while, he took some medicine and went to bed.

In his dream, he seemed to hear the squeaking sound of mice again. He seemed to call the little mouse a few times. He seemed to talk a lot to the little mouse. Finally, he walked into the ancient mirror and walked a long way.

But when he woke up, he could not remember anything, but his body felt obviously relaxed, and his ears and eyes were sharp, and everything around him seemed vivid and lovely.

The news of Li Chuan's return to Yunqiao Township spread quickly. It was also the New Year, so people came to visit almost every day. The house was always bustling, and every meal was filled with delicious fish and meat.

Finally, Li Chuan felt a little bored. He planned to hide at Blacksmith Cen's house for a day, but when he was about to go out, he heard a knock on the door.

"Is Dr. Li here?"

Li Chuan opened the door and was startled when he recognized the person. He said, "Xu County Magistrate, why are you here?" Then he stepped aside and said, "Come in quickly. This house is too messy. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Magistrate Xu said, "I wanted to visit you before, but you were not at home."

"I will stay longer this time." Li Chuan said, and took County Magistrate Xu to sit down in the main hall.

"Did Taoist Master Wen come back with you this time?" asked County Magistrate Xu.

"No, he's in the Four Gods Palace." Li Chuan said, and then he realized that the person County Magistrate Xu was looking for was Wen Guying, so he asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen in the county? Are there monsters?"

"No," Magistrate Xu denied, saying, "We haven't heard of any monsters causing trouble in Jinhong County for a long time."

Li Chuan thought of Ziyun Cave. He asked, "Is everything going well over there?"

"Half a month ago, when I was having dinner with the county magistrate over there, I also asked him about this," County Magistrate Xu paused and said, "I came here because of the Ziyun Cave incident. After the death of the Scorpion Spirit in Ziyun Cave, the nearby villages still held sacrificial activities as they did in previous years."
