ninety thousand miles

Chapter 85
Li Chuan tried his best to study the picture in the book several times, trying to analyze its structure or find out its meaning, but there was no result except dizziness.

But now the pages are open.The mist was washed clean by the clear spring, and the implication of the pattern was directly evoked. The golden light scurried around in his mind, and finally settled down along the rhythm of the ripples.All the surges in the world are included in this pattern.

When Li Chuan looked at the puddle of water again, the layers of ripples in his eyes were three intertwined undulating ripples, and when he was about to take a closer look, his eyes suddenly went dark.

The sunset glow of spring has completely fallen.

Li Chuan put the "Book of Patterns" back into his clothes, and then said: "That is a pattern, composed of three kinds of ripples." He tried his best to express the meaning of the ripples with the knowledge he had just learned.

Wen Guying was obviously relieved, "It seems that this is indeed here."

Then, Wen Guying took Li Chuan back to the ground and joined Jin Rong.When I saw Jin Rong, I saw him fighting with a young monk in a blue Taoist robe.

Jin Rong didn't use any magic weapons, just relied on his fists to hit people, the fists seemed to be glowing, and his style of play was very sturdy.When Li Chuan and Wen Guying arrived, he happened to knock the monk unconscious with a punch. Seeing them coming, he took two steps to the side, straightened his robes, took out a fan, and slapped the wind a few times.

It turns out that the fan is not a magic weapon.

Jin Rong explained: "After I came out, I saw him sneaking around, so I went up and asked him what he was going to do, but he faltered and didn't say anything, but suddenly called me, and I had to knock him out .”

"Could it be related to Xialin Village?" Wen Guying flicked his sleeves at the man.

The man woke up, only to find that his body could not move.

Li Chuan walked over and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man asked, "Who are you?"

At this moment, Wen Guying recognized the pattern on the Taoist robe, and said, "You are from the Lingchuan sect? Why are you here?"

The man saw Wen Guying's sword, recognized the huge ruby, and said, "Are you Senior Brother Wen from Sishen Palace?"

After seeing Wen Guying nodded, the man said: "I am Mu Ling, a Fengzi disciple of the Lingchuan School. I have received the kindness of Senior Brother Guan. After knowing what happened to him, I was determined to clear up his grievances, so I came here. I Seeing that there are people from the government patrolling around Xialin Village and setting up restrictions, I want to wait until late at night before trying to find a way to go up the mountain."

He said happily again: "It turns out that you, Senior Brother Wen, set the restriction, no wonder I can't break it. With you here, Senior Brother Guan must be saved."

After a long time, he didn't hear Wen Guying's response, and sensed something was wrong, he said, "Senior Brother Wen?"

Wen Guying said: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, you can go back." He flicked his hand again, and Mu Ling was free.

Mu Ling asked: "Then can I go and see Senior Brother Guan?"

Wen Guying refused: "The case is still being investigated, and it won't be too late to wait for the results to come out." Then he said: "I happen to be short of someone here, so you can help me go to Sishen Palace tomorrow, to the library, Help me find some books."

It is not appropriate to spread the matter of the Other Ghost to the outside world for the time being, and he must be dismissed to avoid any side effects.

Mu Ling repeatedly agreed.

His face was still swollen, so he set off immediately.

After Mu Ling left, Wen Guying also bid farewell to Li Chuan and Jin Rong, saying, "I'll borrow some things and come back. I'll see you in three days."

Then, he too swished and flew away.

So Li Chuan, Jin Rong and the two demons went back to Xiushan County together and rested separately.

Close your eyes, maybe because you are too tired, you can't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

"Second brother, third brother, are you asleep?"

no respond.

So, he sat up, lit a candle, and by the candlelight, he saw Gong Er and Pang San nestled in the pot, sleeping soundly.

He took out the "Jing Jing" and turned to the "Yong" page, and read it again.

I got something in my heart.

The pattern on the book is not a picture, but a certain kind of thing, the appearance of a certain law.

After reading the book for a while, and recalling what I saw today, I finally felt a little sleepy, so I fell asleep again.

As soon as he woke up the next day, someone came looking for him. When he opened the door, it turned out that it was Liu Canjun.

Liu Canjun said: "I went through a lot of case files yesterday and found a few that might be useful. Would you like to go and have a look?"

"Okay." Li Chuan agreed at once.

Liu Canjun said again: "Should we ask those two ghosts again?"

Li Chuan was at a loss.

Liu Canjun said: "I know they are all different ghosts, but as long as they are willing to talk, I think they can always find some clues, right?"

"That's right," Li Chuan also agreed, and he said, "Then let's go and meet Brother Jin?"

Liu Canjun said: "I just asked Mr. Jin, and he said that he would visit several villages around Xialin Village and let me look for you."

Li Chuan could only agree and said, "That's fine, Brother Liu, wait a moment, I'll clean up and go with you."

Liu Canjun went to the lobby to wait for Li Chuan.

Li Chuan closed the door, took a sip of cold tea, and after feeling a little more sober, he gave a few words to Gong Er and left.

Along the way, Liu Canjun talked about his discovery: "I found that people in Xialin Village had more exchanges with the outside world a hundred years ago, and some people were elected and came out to be officials. And they seldom marry outsiders. , due to the lack of records, it is currently known that Pan's mother is the only one who has married outside in recent years."

"Where is Mama Pan's husband's family?"

"It's from Yi County, a wealthy family, and Pan's mother is a continuation. After her husband died, she and her children were kicked out by the son of the original spouse, and then they have been running around with the caravan." Liu Canjun said.

After arriving at the yamen, Li Chuan looked at the case files compiled by Liu Canjun, and felt that Xialin Village was indeed full of weirdness, but he couldn't figure out where the weirdness was.

At this time, Liu Canjun asked about Li Chuan's actions yesterday.

Li Chuan replied: "I found a lot of clues, but they haven't been connected yet. Daoist Wen went to borrow a magic weapon. After borrowing it, we might be able to figure it out."

He told Liu Canjun the clues he found. Liu Canjun thought for a long time and put forward several ideas, but none of them could withstand scrutiny.So they decided to talk to Pan Maguan Zhongqiu.

So after lunch, they found an empty room and interrogated Pan Ma and Guan Zhongqiu.

After Li Chuan calmed down his thoughts, he began to ask.

"What year did you meet?"

"Tianfu 11 years." Pan's mother replied.

"How old were you then?"

"Seventeen."

"When did he draw your soul?"

"I don't remember the matter of drawing the soul. Two years after we met, he said he had found a way for me to cultivate immortality. I was very happy at the time, but he left the next day."

"Were you twenty by then?"

"It's still three months away."

"Does Xialin Village pay special attention to the 20th birthday?"

"No."

"Think about it," Guan Zhongqiu, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said, "How did your parents organize it for you on your 20th birthday?"

"A bowl of plain noodles, what else can we do? We ordinary people work day and night, and we still have to be hungry from time to time. It's good to think of cooking a bowl of plain noodles. Unlike you monks, who have been fancy here and there..." Pan Mama Resented back.

"It's a clue to make you think about your becoming a different ghost. What do you think?"

"Aren't you also a ghost, why don't you think about clues?"

"I think I was sneaked in by the strange ghost when I was attacked by Xiaohu and the others." Guan Zhongqiu actually thought seriously, "The time Elder Wei said was about that time. At that time, I was on the verge of Dead, I may have been in a coma for more than ten days...but the damage to my soul has not changed..."

dying.

Li Chuan captured this key word.

"It's your turn." After Guan Zhongqiu finished speaking, he began to urge Pan's mother again.

"Really, you left suddenly. I lay on the bed for a month in grief before I had the strength to get out of bed and work. Many people in the village knew about you. When you left, all kinds of bad words spread to my parents. In their ears, they worry all day long, and they can still remember my birthday, and specially made me a bowl of plain noodles..."

Li Chuan and Liu Canjun looked at each other and understood the reason why Pan's mother married far away.

And Guan Zhongqiu stopped Pan's mother's nagging again and said, "Think about it, what else happened that day?"

Pan's mother didn't seem to hear what he said, she poured out her bitterness, "Three years later, after finally talking about the marriage, you showed up again, snatched me away, and talked to me lewdly." Yue, let me cooperate to do this and that, and then throw me back when it's over, the marriage is so dirty."

"You are a different ghost now, what's the point of saying these things?" Guan Zhongqiu said with a gloomy face.

"You are also a different ghost, you don't care what I say."

"Xialin Village's ancestors have lived here for generations, and they have never heard of any other ghosts. It can't be said that it is because of you, a strange ghost, that brought such a disaster to the village." Pan's mother obviously thought a lot, and she turned to Li Chuan and Liu Joining the army, "My lords, the old man is a strange ghost, and death is not a pity. I just hope that the lords will treat him equally and don't let him go."

She may admit that she is a White Walker, or she may regard this as a crime to be forced on her head.

What she wanted was for Laguan Zhongqiu to die together.

Did the hatred continue after becoming a White Walker?

Li Chuan said: "Okay, but you have to answer the questions later."

"My lord, please ask me."

Liu Canjun first asked some questions, such as what other people in Xialin Village married out and made a living outside.

Pan's mother answered one by one, but she hasn't returned to Xialin Village for decades, so she doesn't know much.

After Liu Canjun finished asking, Li Chuan began to ask.

"Are there any special products in Xialin Village?"

"Are there any wild fruits that are particularly delicious?"

"..."

Every time Pan's mother said no, Guan Zhongqiu would intervene to ask her to think about it, and based on memory, listed some possible problems.

Under the mutual hatred of the two ghosts, they actually told the daily life, customs, local recipes and festival customs of Xialin Village.
