Wen Guying sighed and said no more.
Afterwards, Elder Wei and Master Chanhai said goodbye to them, and the investigation of Xialin Village fell on Li Chuan, Jin Rong, Wen Guying and the others.
Walk out of the toilet. The sun hangs obliquely on the eaves, and the red clouds bloom.
Liu Canjun was still standing outside. When he saw them coming out, he hurriedly walked over and said, "The county governor has ordered a banquet at Zuiyue Tower. He is touring the county and can't make it back for a while. Please forgive me."
They knew that these were all excuses. The Governor Wu of Chao Bing County probably didn't want to have anything to do with the Xuanmen monks, so after a quick appearance, he never showed up again, leaving only a judicial officer to follow them around.
Li Chuan was very happy when he heard that there was food to eat. At noon, he had something on his mind and only ate a bowl of rice without touching any vegetables.
Now that the plan was finalized, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zuiyue Tower is right on the edge of Qiongdao Lake.
During the dinner, Jin Rong and Wen Guying told a lot of anecdotes about the monks. Liu Canjun showed a look of yearning, and then he said: "I know that Pan Ma is a ghost without a doubt, but, I asked her before, Seeing how she acted, it was no different from ordinary people. I also checked some case files and found that there had not been a single vicious case in Xialin Village in the past thirty years. I visited some villages that had a lot of contacts with Xialin Village, and they all said that the people of Xialin Village More loyal."
"On the contrary, it was what happened at Xuanshui Mountain a while ago. The monsters that escaped there were so ferocious. There were eight or nine villages that were attacked by monsters." Liu Canjun asked, "Are there really such honest ghosts?"
"White ghosts don't necessarily do evil, and so do monsters." Wen Guying answered Liu Canjun's question, "White ghosts may just want to be human, and they can even be good people all their lives, but what if there are more white ghosts?"
"And it may not be a good thing that the little granddaughter hasn't been invaded by the White Walkers." Wen Guying's words were surprising.
Li Chuan and Liu Canjun were both stunned.
Li Chuan asked: "Why?"
"This means that they cannot reproduce on their own," Wen Guying's expression became serious. "When there are more of them and they cannot reproduce on their own, will they capture some people, raise them and produce containers for them?"
Li Chuan was horrified.
Liu Canjun also understood immediately. He said: "I understand. I had some sympathy for them before. I thought they were peaceful and did not make trouble..." Then he added: "I sorted out the recent events in Xialin Village. With years of population outflow records, I’m afraid there are still some White Walkers leaking out, do you want to catch them all?”
Wen Guying said: "It's hard work for Liu to join the army. After being caught, I'd better ask Brother Li to take a look before making a decision. It's not yet certain when they turned into White Walkers."
Liu Canjun claimed yes and added a lot of work for himself, "I will check the county records again. Maybe I can find some useful clues to find out the truth about the strange ghosts in Xialin County as soon as possible and eliminate the trouble."
After they had finished eating, Wen Guying invited the three of them to take a walk by Qiongdao Lake. Li Chuan and Jin Rong agreed. Liu Canjun said he was going to check the case files and took the first step.
The lake wind is very strong.
There are several painted boats in the lake, with lights on, reflecting in the lake water, swaying.
After walking half a circle along the lake and getting rid of his drunkenness, Li Chuan suddenly remembered the Frost Leaf Gate that Wen Guying had mentioned during the day.
He asked: "Is the Frost Leaf Sect incident also related to Xin Yuan?"
Wen Guying replied: "It is precisely because it is related to Xin Yuan that the immortal takes action. What did Junior Sister Zhu tell you?"
Li Chuan recalled what Zhu Qingyun said before and said it briefly.
"Junior Sister Zhu is right," Wen Guying replied: "The Palace Supervisor probably wouldn't mention the word Xinyuan to them.
Wen Guying stopped and looked at the painting boat swaying in the water in the distance, "The matter of the heart abyss is not a secret thing in the first place. Although it is easy to get lost in it when staring at the heart abyss, it is also easy to give birth to inner demons and go astray. It becomes weird, but once you have an epiphany and become an immortal, which monk can resist the temptation?"
"Cultivating immortals is a matter of narrow escape," Wen Guying concluded and then turned back to Shuangye Sect, "Immortals don't care much about Xuanmen matters, just like monks will gradually get further and further away from mortals. They will The reason for intervening in the Frost Leaf Sect is because they are connected to the Heart Abyss through burning incense. They look at the Heart Abyss, and their consciousness is projected in the Heart Abyss, gaining the sharing of power and realm. More and more consciousnesses are projected in the Heart Abyss, causing the world to District surge.”
"Aren't enlightenment and transcendence illusory?" Li Chuan asked.
"It's not completely false. What you realize in the abyss of your heart, when you return to the realm of the world, some are like flowers in the mirror, some are illusions of inner demons, and some are instant enlightenment and instant immortality." Wen Guying tried his best to explain in words that Li Chuan could understand, "But the surge in the boundary area is very dangerous. It is a crisis that can really threaten the immortals, such as Huan Shuo. So the immortals took action."
Li Chuan finally understood what Wen Guying meant.
Jin Rong also understood and said: "Are you worried that the incident in Xialin Village will cause a surge in the boundary?"
Wen Guying said: "It shouldn't be that serious, but I'm worried that the edge of the boundary is blurring, and that's why the White Walkers appear. Is it a problem with Xialin Village or something else? We need to investigate more to find out."
Then they discussed the arrangements for tomorrow, and after agreeing on the departure time, they went to rest.
When I returned to the inn, I opened the door and saw a man sitting inside. I was startled at first, and then I recognized him as Pang San. In a blink of an eye, I saw Gong Er standing in the pot practicing the golden rooster's independence.
Hearing the noise, Gong Er flapped his wings and flew over, saying, "Brother, you're back! We went to Qiongdao Lake to play around today, and even went to the boat to listen to a play."
Li Chuan immediately knew why Pang San turned into a human.
The third person said: "It cost 2 taels of silver to get on the boat."
Li Chuan only gave them a total of 2 taels of silver when he went out this time.
"Is the play good?" Li Chuan asked.
"It sounds good, it sounds good!" Gong Er replied, "I also learned a few lines, and I will sing them to my elder brother..."
"No, no, no... I also went to Qiongdao Lake and had dinner at Zuiyue Tower," Li Chuan also began to talk, "When things are over here, I will also take you to Zuiyue Tower. There are There are some famous dishes that you can’t get anywhere else, and the singing girl is also pretty.”
"What kind of food?"
"Is it tasty?"
Li Chuan suddenly felt that the food he had eaten tonight was particularly delicious. After boasting about it, he talked about the White Walkers with Gong Er Pang San.
"Brother, you go to Xialin Village tomorrow and take us with you." Pang San said.
Gong Er also said: "As long as we are here, if we encounter the White Walkers and cannot defeat them, it will be no problem to escape. Recently, my third brother and I have practiced several ways of escaping. In the future, even if we encounter a big monster like King Black Horn, , you can also escape!"
"Okay, let's go together." Li Chuan agreed.
