After breakfast, they headed to Xialin Mountain again.
This time I also went to Guanzhongqiu Festival. He changed his clothes and tidied his hair, looking like a monk.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Wen Guying asked Li Chuan and Guan Zhongqiu to wait in the carriage while he and Jin Rong made arrangements first. Li Chuan knew that they were flying to the sky and escaping to the ground at extremely fast speeds, so he told them not to worry about him and go to work quickly. He stayed in the carriage and read a book, which was quite comfortable.
After Wen Guying and Jin Rong left, Li Chuan chatted with Gong Ersan for a few words, and tried to talk to Guan Zhongqiu, but he didn't care much after he didn't get much response.
After spending the past few days together, he also roughly knew Guan Zhongqiu's temperament. He was now focused on finding out the truth about the White Walkers and didn't care about anything else.
After being in a daze for a while, Li Chuan took out the "Classic of Patterns" to read it, turned to the pattern of the word "yong", and started studying it. The more I looked at it, the more mysterious it became. The waves in my mind were turbulent, and I vaguely felt that there was a force in my body that echoed the ups and downs of it.
"This is the "Classic of Patterns"?" Li Chuan heard Guan Zhongqiu ask.
"That's right." Li Chuan closed the book.
"I remember that after the death of the previous heir of the Classic of Patterns, it was stored in the library of the Four Gods Palace. Did Senior Brother Wen give it to you?" Guan Zhongqiu asked.
Li Chuan denied it and told the story of how the fox stole the book and sold the fur for money.
He noticed that Guan Zhongqiu seemed to be listening attentively, but he actually didn't pay attention to what he said.
Guan Zhongqiu's response verified his judgment.
Guan Zhongqiu said: "I have some attainments in soul cultivation. The ghost's soul cannot be extracted, but if I use the soul cultivation technique, I may be able to actively leave the body."
Li Chuan waited silently for him to continue.
"Since you can see the abnormalities in our souls, you may find something when you study my soul after it leaves the body." Guan Zhongqiu stared at Li Chuan with burning eyes.
Li Chuan believed what he said. After all, in his own confession, he taught many people how to practice soul cultivation, but...
"I can't see or touch the soul." Li Chuan said honestly.
"How can it be?"
Li Chuan was also helpless, "I also want to practice. Even if I can't become an immortal, I can just keep my body healthy." Then he asked Guan Zhongqiu for advice, "Do you know any techniques I can practice?"
Guan Zhongqiu fell silent again.
So Li Chuan changed the topic: "Why was Pan's mother unable to cultivate as an immortal at that time?"
Guan Zhongqiu replied: "Su Niang's understanding is very good, but the physical body can hardly absorb spiritual power, so if you want to cultivate as an immortal, you must either go directly to the soul to cultivate, or change to a physical body."
"Is the physical body so easy to change?" Li Chuan was a little confused.
"I know people from Qingzong. Qingzong... is also a rare immortal cultivating family in Xuanmen. In order to ensure the qualifications of their descendants, they have thought of many ways." Guan Zhongqiu said a few words briefly.
"Is it possible that the inability to absorb spiritual power is also related to the White Walkers?" Li Chuan raised another possibility.
"It's possible, but I didn't know anything about the White Walkers at that time." Guan Zhongqiu's eyes were empty, "Ten or twenty years is too short for a monk, and it might pass by just retreating and having an enlightenment... Maybe if we don't force it, we can each achieve perfection. However, it may take a long time before the White Walkers are discovered."
"That's not necessarily true." Li Chuan said.
"Do you think it will still be discovered?" Guan Zhongqiu asked.
"I just think there are very few things that happen in complete isolation," Li Chuan replied: "Maybe there are white ghosts in other places. They live and die like normal people, but no one knows about them now. And they As long as we are in this world, it will always be discovered, not by us but by others.”
"Is this your way?" Guan Zhongqiu asked.
Li Chuan was stunned. What he said was nothing more than cockroach theory, and it had nothing to do with Tao.
Guan Zhongqiu said: "The cultivation method of immortality is the understanding and application of power in appearance, but in essence it is the understanding and interpretation of Tao. When the understanding of Tao reaches a certain level, power will naturally follow. .”
"But different people and different schools have different understandings of Tao, and there may even be conflicts. The successors of "The Classic of Patterns" cannot cultivate immortality. I think it's just that they can't follow other people's Tao."
The meaning of these words was similar to what Gong Wuguang said, but it was more simple. Just when Li Chuan was about to continue asking for advice, Wen Guying's voice came from outside the car: "We have arranged everything, you can come out."
The two demons got out of the car.
Li Chuan looked up and found that the huge Xia Lin Mountain was gone.
Wen Guying explained the reason while leading them forward, "The overlapping of boundary zones is not big or small. If it is not handled well and causes a surge in the boundary zone, then we may become He is a sinner in the three realms. So I went to borrow two magic weapons."
"One of them is the Elephantless Ring, which can open up a space on its own. I used it to encircle Xialin Mountain. Now we are walking in Xialin Mountain, but we are actually in another space."
Sure enough, after walking a few steps, Li Chuan saw the familiar mountain scenery.
"With the Elephantless Ring, even if the worst happens, we will fall into the abyss together with the mountain." Then Wen Guying introduced another magic weapon: "The other one is the Tianyin Pot. Can distinguish different energies and make different sounds."
"Did you go to Tianyumen to borrow it?" Guan Zhongqiu asked.
"Yes, I originally wanted to borrow the Yuanhuo Mirror, but I couldn't." Wen Guying felt a little regretful.
Soon, they arrived at the two camphor trees with long remaining flowers growing there.
Jin Rong stood aside waiting for them, holding a jade-colored fairy pot in his hand. The body of the pot was round and the spout opened like a flower, which was very delicate.
"How do you feel?" Wen Guying asked Guan Zhongqiu.
Guan Zhongqiu closed his eyes and seemed to be comprehending it carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "There is no special feeling."
Wen Guying asked Gong Er and San: "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Gonger replied: "I feel like it's very empty here."
The third person said: "It's very empty and far away. I felt the same way last time."
"Have you been here before?" Wen Guying asked Guan Zhongqiu again.
Guan Zhongqiu shook his head, "But I have walked around many times and never found this place. There must be some kind of force that prevents me from noticing this place."
He asked, "What are you going to do?"
Wen Guying touched the gem on his sword and said, "The most direct and crude way is to attack the flower and see what reaction it will have."
"No." Guan Zhongqiu rejected him immediately, "If the boundaries really overlap, your cultivation and mine are not enough." He didn't even mention Jin Rong, let alone Li Chuan and Er Yao.
"I still have enough, at least the realm is enough," Wen Guying retorted, "But I still plan to be conservative first."
