ninety thousand miles

Chapter 609 Clear
"They are flying to Qifeng Gorge." said Li Chuan.

"Yes, they will be there, waiting for the sun to rise." Wen Guying said.

"Wait..." Li Chuan felt something flash through his mind. He thought for a while, but didn't catch the inspiration. He sighed, stopped thinking about it, and said, "Finally, I've accomplished something. I can take a break for two or three days, and then go to Youxi Valley."

"Not necessarily." Wen Guying said.

"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.

"If the evil spirit didn't come, then where was she? Where did she go?" Wen Guying asked.

"This..." Li Chuan became nervous again and asked, "Does she have any other tricks?"

"No, I just think she might go to Tianyu Gate." Wen Guying put the Tianqi Sword back into the scabbard, turned around and said to Jiang Mei: "Where is Qingye Zhou?"

Jiang Mei took out the Qingye Boat.

Wen Guying said, "Let's go to Qifeng Gorge."

"What are you going there for?" Li Chuan was a little confused.

Wen Guying looked up at the endless stream of birds and said, "Such a rare spectacle, of course I have to go and see it."

"You guys go ahead, I'll finish here," said Jiang Mei.

"Okay." Wen Guying said.

"Me too..." Li Chuan hesitated.

"Let's go and take a look over there, there may be some unexpected changes." Wen Guying said.

"That's right." said Li Chuan.

"I'm going too." Lao Xiaokai appeared from the side, and Gong Er still followed closely behind him.

"I'll go too. Qifeng Gorge is in the territory of the Feather Clan." Yu Chen said.

"Okay, let's go." Wen Guying said, and then stepped into the Qingye Boat.

Spiritual Master Jiang Mei and the others watched as the Green Leaf Boat flew into the tide of birds, passed the crescent moon, and finally disappeared into the night.

……

Accompanied by a flock of birds, Li Chuan and his companions arrived at Qifeng Gorge. Qifeng Gorge at night was completely different from that at daytime. Different birds were perched on it, chirping and flying.

Li Chuan walked cautiously to an open space, and a brave bird hit his shoulder and then flew towards the crescent moon. He rubbed his shoulder and smiled helplessly.

"It's really spectacular." Lao Xiao looked around and walked to Li Chuan, saying, "I wanted to come here before, but I didn't make it. This time I finally saw it."

“There aren’t usually so many birds,” said Yu Chen.

"They are also waiting for the night." Wen Guying said.

"Where are they during the White Night?" Li Chuan asked. He said, "That's right. When the White Night lasts, I can see birds flying by from time to time during the day, but during the White Night, there seem to be no birds." "Rest in the shadows," Yu Chen replied, "They also go to underground caves and rock crevices."

"I see." Li Chuan nodded. He felt very sore, so he sat on the ground and asked, "How long will it take until dawn?"

"Almost, maybe half an hour." Wen Guying said.

Li Chuan looked up at the night sky. Sure enough, the night sky had become much lighter and the crescent moon was setting in the west.

"I..." Li Chuan suddenly caught the thought that flashed through his mind before, and said: "The rotation of the sun and the moon, that's it, Taoist Master Wen, Bai Ye interfered with the rotation of the sun and the moon."

"Didn't Master Wen say that the night is always there?" Lao asked with a smile.

"That's not what I meant. It's that... in the records of the Half-Demon Clan, Youxi Valley is the place where the sun and the moon rotate. We don't care whether this is a myth or a legend, it's recorded like this. What I think is that we now have a lot of clues, but these clues don't connect. There are so many things that could be explained in any way. In that case, we have to find something that can be confirmed."

"Indeed." Wen Guying also sat down next to Li Chuan, took out a yellow wine pot and several wine glasses and put them on the ground. He said, "Go on."

After seeing the wine, Li Chuan felt thirsty. He picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup. After taking a sip, he said, "What is certain is the record of the Half-Demon Tribe. Youxi Valley is the place where the sun and the moon rotate. The appearance of Bai Ye destroyed this law. What impact will be brought about by destroying this law? This can be discussed later. But this destruction is certain."

Li Chuan licked his lips.

This time the wine is very mellow.

He said, "Who wants to disrupt this rule? From what the spiritual master said, we can know that one is that god. After he cast the curse, there were long white nights for a hundred years. But the other is Chi Lin. After Chi Lin fell asleep in Youxi Valley, white nights appeared frequently again, and in the past few years, they have lasted longer and longer. These two things are also certain."

As he spoke, another thought popped up in Li Chuan's mind, so he asked Wen Guying: "Could that divine being be the Immortal Qingzi?"

"I don't think so." Wen Guying said, "If it were Immortal Qingzi, it wouldn't be so strenuous. But I can't say for sure."

"Whether it's true or not, he definitely hates the ancient monsters and can't bear to see them prosper. This is certain." Li Chuan continued to reason along the way, and he looked at Wen Guying again: "The spiritual master mentioned that after three great disasters, the monsters have a chance to revive. How many times has it been now?"

"Now is the third time." Wen Guying said.

"Can this kind of slander be changed?" Li Chuan asked.

“It’s hard to say.” Wen Guying said, “Sometimes changing can make things worse.”

"That means it can't change." Li Chuan made a conclusion. He said, "So this white night must be very unfavorable to the ancient monster beasts, and may affect the chances of the monster beasts' revival. How the long white night ended, no one knows. But Chi Lin's actions, the white night reappeared, not all at once, but after a long time, 20,000 years, and then came out again, and starting from five or six hundred years ago, it became more and more frequent."

"Could it be that Bai Ye was sealed by someone or something before, and then during the 20,000 years that Chi Lin was sleeping, he finally unlocked the seal, and he unlocked it gradually, so Bai Ye slowly appeared again."

"Moss, black moss underground," Li Chuan recalled, and said, "I don't have any evidence, but I have a hunch that it is related to Chi Lin, and then there is the ghost light."

"The Phantom Light and the White Night are clearly related. When we take away some of the Phantom Light, the White Night falls. Although we don't know exactly what the mechanism is, it is clear that there is a connection."

"At the same time, it is also clear that the ghost light can stimulate the memories hidden in the blood of the half-demon."

"So..." Li Chuan paused and said, "We have collected a lot of ghost lights, and we have also caught a ray of Bai Ye. I think we can do some experiments to figure out its connection with Bai Ye. And confirm what Bai Ye is."

"I have some guesses." Wen Guying said.
