Wen Guying and Jin Rong immediately surrounded him.
Wen Guying took the toad and checked it carefully, "The stream is right next to Xialin Village. Every family comes here to get water. There are strange ghosts living in the water, and they slowly attach themselves to people... No, no, if this is the case, There shouldn’t be a twenty-year-old limit.”
Then, he used his spiritual mind to explore the stream and the surrounding area, and said, "Nothing unusual was found. Let's catch a few more toads, fish, shrimps, etc. first?"
As soon as he stretched out his hand, a fish jumped out of the stream and fell directly into his hand.
"Brother Li, come and take a look at this." Wen Guying said.
Li Chuan took it dumbly and looked at the sun with a mirror. He saw that it was a live fish jumping around.
He didn't dare to eat it, so he let it go.
"Do we have to pass through toads?" Wen Guying caught several more toads.
No problem.
It's too ugly, let it go.
Seeing this, Jin Rong was eager to give it a try and punched the water, stirring up fish and shrimp.
Feeling better than Wen Guying, he discovered that one of the shrimps was a White Walker.
After struggling for a long time, almost all the living creatures in the stream were finished, and a total of five ghosts, one mandarin fish, two shrimps, and two toads were picked out.
"Will the people in Xialin Village gradually become alienated from eating fish and shrimps in the stream?" Li Chuan asked.
"It's hard to say. This still can't explain the problem at the age of twenty," Wen Guying shook his head, "This is probably not the source yet. Let's go further along the stream."
Li Chuan and Jin Rong both agreed.
The stream gushes out from the ground. There is a piece of mud at the source with many weeds and wild flowers growing there. There are some camphor trees around. Some butterflies have emerged from their cocoons and are so densely attached to the tree trunks. When they sense that someone is approaching, All of a sudden they flew up.
Wen Guying and Jin Rong used their own methods to investigate.
Although Li Chuan still didn't quite understand it, after seeing more, he could see some differences. Reviewing the past should mainly use spiritual thoughts to search, while Jin Rong will use many mortal methods.
Li Chuan was responsible for looking around with the demon mirror, and the two men caught many animals for him, which made him deeply feel the richness of species in the forest.
But nothing was found.
The sun made him feel sleepy.
So he picked up the white ghost shrimp in the fish basket and observed it again.
These three ghosts are different from Pan Ma Guanzhongqiu.
Pan Maguan's Mid-Autumn Festival is a seemingly complete and normal soul with insects attached to it, while this little fish, shrimp, and toad has no soul, only insects.
Li Chuan put them back into the fish basket, closed it, and moved his body.
Two butterflies chased and flew before his eyes.
If there is no soul... Li Chuan's eyes moved in the direction of the butterfly, "If there is no soul, you will die."
Gong Er and San heard Li Chuan talking.
Gong Er asked: "Brother, what did you say?"
"Second brother, catch some butterflies and bring them here." Li Chuan said.
After hearing this, Gong Er became more energetic and threw himself towards the weeds. After a fuss, he grabbed a butterfly with each paw and flew to Li Chuan.
"Brother, here you go, do you want more?" Gonger asked.
"Let me take a look first." Li Chuan took out the demon mirror and looked carefully.
It's a normal butterfly.
Li Chuan asked Gong Er to catch a few more and bring them back.
Oh my god, I've stabbed the alien den! Three White Walkers at once, all with souls!
Li Chuan quickly told Wen Guying and Jin Rong about his discovery, and then he said: "I guess, just a guess, is there a possibility that the White Walker is very weak? This weakness means that his parasitic ability is limited. Or are the conditions very harsh?"
"How do you say it?" Wen Guying asked.
"For example, small fish and shrimps that are about to die, insects that are smaller than small fish and shrimps, such as butterflies in the pupa state, are all mushy inside?" Li Chuan said in an uncertain tone.
"That makes sense."
They checked the trees around them.
Finally, Wen Guying felt a strange feeling. Following this feeling, they searched forward bit by bit. They found two camphor trees with branches and leaves connected together to form a heart shape. In the heart-shaped recess, there is a pool of water with a white flower growing there.
The petals are very thin, like semi-wet tissue paper, hanging slightly.
Wen Guying breathed a sigh of relief, "I found it, right here."
"Is there something wrong with this flower?" Li Chuan asked.
"Don't look at its true appearance." Wen Guying warned Li Chuan first and then explained, "Your words reminded me that we have been trying to find places with abnormal spiritual power before, so we found nothing. The abyss of the heart is empty, and for As far as our world is concerned, the Heart Abyss is a virtual body, not an entity. If the White Walkers are related to the Heart Abyss, it is very likely that it is a virtual state, not an entity. Therefore, it can only parasitize people who are dying, or who are dying. In living things between life and death.”
"And what we are looking for is not a place with abnormal spiritual power, but a place where life and death overlap. Once you know what you are looking for, it will be easier to find it," Wen Guying praised Li Chuan again, "Thanks to your What a wonderful idea, otherwise I’m afraid we might not be able to find it if we stay here for half a month and search every inch of the land with our spiritual thoughts.”
Jin Rong looked at the white flower carefully and asked, "Senior Brother Wen, is this the Changyu flower?"
"That's right." Wen Guying replied, and then he introduced to Li Chuan: "Changyuhua is a flower that grows in the fairy world. If you take it, you can live forever. This seems to be the original place of ascension."
"Eternal life? Really?" Gong Er asked.
"Mortals can't bear the properties of the medicine; if a monk takes it, it can add a hundred years to his life." Wen Guying answered truthfully.
"What to do next?" Li Chuan asked.
Senior Brother Wen replied: "Go back first."
"Go back?" Li Chuan was a little confused. Seeing the truth right in front of you, did you go back?
Senior Brother Wen looked at the sky and said, "The sun is going down. When day and night alternate, reality and reality are most unstable. There will be all kinds of weirdness at night. There are still many mysteries here that remain unsolved. I am just a monk who has been here for two hundred years. I don’t want to become an immortal yet.”
Li Chuan understood and said, "Then let's come back during the day."
"I have marked this place and set a prohibition. I will borrow a magic weapon tonight and make some preparations, and everything will be safe." Wen Guying calculated the time, "We will explore again in three days."
So Li Chuan asked the other three to pack their things.
Suddenly I saw something flashing. Was it a butterfly's wings?
Li Chuan turned around and looked.
The setting sun spreads through the gaps in the leaves and condenses into golden water droplets, which fall drop by drop and fall on the tangled branches.
"Brother Li?"
Li Chuan came back to his senses and saw Wen Guying looking at him with concern, "What's wrong with you?"
He related the vision he had seen.
Wen Gu made a quick decision and said to Jin Rong, "Let's go!"
He grabbed the boy and shoved him into Li Chuan's arms, grabbed him by the back of his collar and flew up with his sword.
The wind blew violently on Li Chuan's face. He tried to open his eyes, but maybe he was too close to the sun, and his eyes were filled with golden light.
"It's okay. Let's run fast." Wen Guying said.
The sword seemed wider than expected, and the wind calmed down.
Standing very stable.
The two men crawled out of his hands, and one demon occupied one shoulder.
Li Chuan felt a little relieved. He looked around and didn't see Jin Rong. He asked, "Where is Brother Jin?"
Wen Guying replied: "Brother Jin is good at escaping from the earth. He ran down the mountain at this time."
So Li Chuan looked down and seemed to see a black dot running away.
Wen Guying added: "Brother Li, you can look down now. That's where we left just now." He pointed downwards with his hand, "Try to see if you can see its true appearance."
Hearing this, Li Chuan blinked hard, and then looked in the direction Wen Guying pointed. Perhaps it was because Wen Guying had flown too high. When he looked down, he could only see a dark forest submerged in the golden and crimson sunset. After looking carefully for a long time, I finally found the creek, saw the long remaining flowers, and saw the circles of ripples in the puddles.
The ripples opened and closed, as if they were constantly piecing together a pattern.
He felt a little hot in his chest.
It was the "Pattern Sutra" that he used as a protective mirror. After taking it out, the "Pattern Sutra" automatically turned the pages, clattering, and finally stopped on a pattern.
