Chang Xiao showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said, "I don't know. I just woke up one morning and suddenly had an impulse. I must find someone, the successor of "The Classic of Patterns"."
"Didn't someone tell you?" Li Chuan asked.
Chang Xiao said with certainty, "No."
He said: "Although I was suffering from hysteria in the eyes of outsiders, I didn't think so myself. Instead, I felt that I was the only sober person, and the rest were deceived. I was trying hard to save them. .So I clearly remember every person I met and every word they said.”
After hearing this, Li Chuan was a little worried that Chang Xiao's madness had not yet been cured.
So he looked carefully and felt that after the savage cleaned up, he looked more gentle and scholarly than him.
At this time Jiang Bai spoke and asked: "Do you know where you contracted the disease?"
"I know." Chang Xiao replied.
"I caught it in Wochi," he said.
"When did you go to Wochi?" Zou Jingping couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
Chang Xiao said: "I went there after the New Year."
Li Chuan saw Zou Jingping open his mouth and then close it.
It was probably because outsiders like them were there, so I didn’t continue to ask.
Chang Xiao did not treat them as outsiders and said: "I want to find clues about my life experience. Regarding my life experience, rumors are spreading like this now, which has affected my father's reputation. So I want to find out the truth and return it to my father's reputation." My father is innocent."
Hearing this, both Li Chuan and Jiang Bai turned to look at Zhu Qingyun, who shook his head with confusion on his face.
Chang Xiao saw the interaction between the three of them and asked, "Don't you know yet?"
Before Li Chuan could speak, he answered his own question and said, "You are all monks, so naturally you don't care about mortal affairs."
Jiang Bai interrupted him and asked, "Can you tell me how you contracted the disease?"
"Of course." Chang Xiao was very happy and said it all at once.
"Before I was twelve years old, I lived alone in Wochi, company with wild beasts, until my father took me out. Now more than ten years have passed, but Wochi has not changed much. I follow the memory of The route goes deep into the fertile pond.”
"There is a very tall pillar there with many words engraved on it. Now that I am literate, maybe I can understand what is written on it. Maybe it records my life experience. I thought so and looked for it. .”
"The pillars are still there, and there are no changes from when I left. I looked at the words on the pillars, but found that I didn't recognize any of them. I searched around and found no other clues, so I copied the words on the pillars. I copied it and came back.”
"After I came back, it was okay at first, but I got tired easily. I didn't pay much attention to it. I just found many people to read the words I copied."
Hearing this, Zou Jingping remembered that Chang Xiao had also asked him for advice on some strange words. He said: "It turns out that those are the words on the Tianzhu of Wochi."
"That's right." Chang Xiao continued: "I looked for many people, but no one recognized me. After that, my body began to change. When I reached the age of 18, my whole body started to itch. But an hour later, All discomfort disappeared, and so did the scratches.”
"Has anyone seen it?" Li Chuan asked.
"Please." Chang Xiao replied: "All the famous doctors in the capital have seen you."
"What's behind?" Li Chuan asked.
"Then I started to have dreams, one after another, day and night, and many unexplainable images kept flipping through my mind. Later...then suddenly one day I got better, and they said I was crazy."
After saying that, Chang Xiao coughed twice, and Zou Jingping quickly handed over the water. Chang Xiao drank more than half of the glass before he suppressed his cough.

His voice became a little hoarse after that.
"After I got better, no, I thought I was better, but when I actually went crazy, I found that the people around me were different."
"What's the difference?" Li Chuan asked.
"They turned into monsters in my dream. I tried desperately to save them, but they didn't believe me. I wanted to find some normal people, but normal people would show their true colors as long as they stayed around me for a while. Come." After Chang Xiao finished speaking, he saw Li Chuan's expression and quickly explained: "I now know that I was indeed crazy at that time, I was just talking about how I felt at the time."
Li Chuan said: "I understand, please continue."
Chang Xiao said: "Then when I woke up one day, I suddenly knew that I had to find the heir of "The Classic of Patterns". In order not to forget this, I kept writing this sentence on my bed and on the wall. .Looking back now...maybe, maybe my dream foreshadowed this to me."
"Can you describe the scene in your dream?" Jiang Bai asked.
"Okay..." Then, Chang Xiao frowned and said, "I can't remember much now."
He tried hard to think about it and said very sorry: "I really can't remember it. When I don't think about it, I still have some vague memories. Once I think about it, my mind goes blank."
"Where are those words?" Jiang Bai continued to ask.
Chang Xiao replied: "In the capital, when I return to the capital, can I ask someone to bring me here?"
Jiang Bai refused and said, "I won't stay here for too long." He looked at Li Chuan and asked, "Brother Li, do you plan to..."
"Send it to Qintian Prison." Zhu Qingyun said.
Li Chuan thought Zhu Qingyun's idea was a good one. He said, "Just send it to Qintian Prison. The palace supervisor might be able to discover the mystery. It will be convenient for Brother Jiang and I to take a look."
Chang Xiao also thought it was great. He said, "When I return to the capital, I will send the things to Qintian Prison."
After chatting for a while, Li Chuan said goodbye to Chang Xiao when he couldn't get any more information out of him.
At night, Li Chuan suddenly woke up from his dream. Many butterfly-shaped light spots flew past his eyes, and he seemed to have seen many strange and bizarre scenes.
He got up, followed the light spot and walked out, and saw the full moon hanging on the branches.
The light spot disappeared.
He saw a jade box in his hand at some point, and the colorful cocoon was placed inside.
Li Chuan sat down by the door and put the jade box aside. After looking at the moon for a while, he silently chanted "Little Mouse" three times in his heart.
After a while, the little mouse rubbed his eyes and squatted on his knees.
"Do you recognize this thing?" Li Chuan pointed to the jade box.
"What is this?" asked the little mouse.
Li Chuan opened the jade box, and the colorful cocoon lay quietly in the jade box, without a trace of blood.
"Li Chuan! You, you..." The little mouse rushed to the jade box, closed it, then pressed the box with his body and said, "Why is this thing here with you?"
