When Wen Guying asked Li Chuan to stay vigil with him, Li Chuan realized that the Taoist priest must have seen something in him.
I don't know if he saw that he was not the original Li Chuan, or if he just noticed that he had dealt with the Chicken Demon Gonger.
Li Chuan was very calm.
Time travel was not what he wanted.
It was not his initiative to be kidnapped by a monster.
Even if you find out that he is not who you are, if you can, change him back and send him back to modern times. When he returned to the construction site, he immediately built a golden body for the Taoist priest and provided him with a flame-melted ruby every month.
If only he had seen that he had dealt with monsters.
That would be easier to do. Just ask the Taoist priest to help eliminate the evil power. It would be better if he could give you some medicine to strengthen your body.
After the meal, Zhang Yuanwai took his family to live somewhere else. Only Li Chuan and Wen Guying were left in the huge house.
The two of them stayed in the side hall.
It was completely dark, and everything inside and outside the house was eerily quiet.
Only the ruby on the hilt reflected the light of the candle and shone particularly brightly in the dark night.
Li Chuan saw his own face reflected on the gemstone. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes and a wide face. It was a little familiar, but also a little strange. Compared with his face in memory, he was younger and thinner.
It turns out he looks like this now.
Li Chuan looked away and said, "Will the chicken demon really come tonight?"
Wen Guying smiled, "Brother Li, doesn't he know this best?"
Li Chuan smiled and said, "A few days ago, I did meet a chicken demon and a crab demon. They tied me up and wanted to feed me to the Black-Horned King in Xuanshui Mountain."
Wen Guying had a look of surprise on his face and said, "That day I saw Brother Li riding on a crab and the chicken demon was cutting off the queen for you. I thought these two little demons were Brother Li's demon servants. Actually, Brother Li was the one being raped. Kidnapped?"
After hearing Wen Guying's words, Li Chuan understood that he had only seen himself and Gong Er Pang San together a few days ago, rather than noticing that this body had changed its core.
Li Chuan was a little disappointed.
He briefly recounted the process of being kidnapped, meeting the fox demon, and finally escaping. Finally, he said: "When I saw the Taoist priest's sword just now, I understood that it was the Taoist priest who saved Xiao Ke's life that day, but he was After all, it’s hard to tell outsiders about the kidnapping by monsters, so I didn’t acknowledge the Taoist priest at the dinner table just now.”
Wen Guying was a little surprised when he heard this, "I didn't expect that Brother Li, looking at Wen Wenwei, managed to escape from the monsters by outsmarting him. It's amazing, it's amazing!"
Li Chuan said: "Those two little demons must have just opened their spiritual wisdom, so they were able to be fooled by me."
Wen Guying said: "Brother Li, there is no need to be humble. When ordinary people see monsters, when they panic, even if they have a lot of strength, they only have three points left. Brother Li is so calm, which shows that he will do a lot in the future."
Li Chuan was silent for a moment.
The scholar Li Chuan was frightened to death.
He said: "When I'm scared, I think about what else I can do in this situation. After focusing on what I can do, I'm not afraid anymore."
Hearing what Li Chuan said, Wen Guying was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you just say that you saw the fox holding the book upside down?"
Li Chuan nodded, "Yes."
"So you can see the title?"
Li Chuan admitted honestly and said, "Yes."
Wen Guying asked: "Then what is the title of the book you saw?"
Li Chuan replied: "The title of the book is "The Classic of Patterns"."
Then, he saw Wen Guying nodding, with the same expression on his face, and said, "So the book chose you!"
Seeing Li Chuan's confusion, Wen Guying explained to him: "That red-haired beast pretended to come to Sishen Palace to listen to lectures, but took advantage of the shift change in the library to sneak in and steal the books. I am I chased all the way here for this book.”
It turned out to be the collection of books in the Four Gods Palace.
Li Chuan was very kind and said: "I changed my clothes before I came out today and put the books at home. I will go back to get the books early tomorrow morning and return them to the Taoist priest."
He had no idea about the book.
First, he was a scumbag.
Secondly, there must be many people coveting the collection of books in the Four Gods Palace. He really doesn’t want to deal with monsters and ghosts anymore.
Unexpectedly, Wen Guying said: "If you have no destiny, if you get this book, it will just be a wordless heavenly book. If you can see the title of the book, it means that you are the destined person of this book, and you should get it." "
Then, he explained the origin of this book to Li Chuan, "The book "The Classic of Patterns" is said to have been written by the ancient immortal Tiansu. He believed that pattern is the original image of all things in the world. If you master the pattern, you can borrow it." The power of all things.”
Li Chuan sounded even more frightened.
He quickly put his identity as a scholar to use: "I am a scholar, and I aspire to study and become an official. This book is like a pearl covered in dust here. Please take the book back to Daoist Wen and wait for the next person who is destined." .”
Wen Guying looked at Li Chuan quietly for a while and asked, "Brother Li, what are you worried about?"
Li Chuan remained calm, "Taoist Master, I'm afraid of death."
The moonless night was very dark, and the wind was blowing inside.
The shadow of the candle flickered on Wen Guying's face.
Li Chuan laughed when he saw him and said: "Brother Li, don't worry, although the book "The Classic of Patterns" is precious, it will not invite others to rob it."
Li Chuan looked at Wen Guying suspiciously.
Wen Guying stood up, moved the food prepared by Zhang Yuanwai to the table, divided the glasses, poured the wine, and said, "Come on, have something to eat, and let's talk slowly."
While eating and drinking, Wen Guying explained: "Currently, there are 17 recorded descendants of the Pattern Sutra. These 17 people all had a life span of over 80, and they all died a good death."
Wen Guying said: "There are very few people who can read the words in the "Classic of Patterns". It is said that because the words are obscure and difficult to understand, even if they can see the words, there are even fewer people who can understand the meaning and use them. .
Only a few of the 17 recorded descendants have learned the work part, that is, they have learned how to repair damaged 'patterns', and the sutra part, the part that draws on the power of all things, has not been learned by anyone so far. "
Li Chuan nodded as he listened. The part he had read before was about how to repair patterns, and there were indeed many words on it that he did not recognize.
Wen Guying continued, "What we cultivators seek is to ascend to immortality and attain the Tao. However, although the heirs of the "Wen Jing" have a respected status, they have no chance of immortality in the Tao. That red-haired beast, if he knew that what he stole was like this A book might have been thrown aside long ago and fled for its life.”
Wen Guying said it truthfully, and Li Chuan felt at ease listening to it.
After relaxing, Li Chuan asked, "Where is the fox now?"
Wen Guying said: "I stabbed him to death with my sword. I packed the skin and sold it in the market for ten taels of silver."
"..."
Wen Guying patted Li Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, should you feel at ease now?"
