"What can't be forgotten?" Li Chuan asked.
"I don't remember." Chang Xiao said.
It would be better to forget it all, Li Chuan complained in his heart, and heard Chang Xiao say: "But when I woke up, I had an urge to seek treatment from the successor of "The Pattern Classic"."
Chang Xiao had mentioned this before when he woke up, but now he went into more detail.
He said: "Moreover, the word "Pattern Sutra" is densely engraved on the wall above my bed, on the desk, and on my arms. I am sure that I carved it myself. Maybe this is something I can't forget."
"Are those words still there?" Jin Rong asked.
"The ones on the arms are gone long ago, but the ones on the wall and on the desk are still there. If sir, you want to see them, you have to go to Zhuangzi." Chang Xiao said.
Li Chuan had a headache when Chang Xiao shouted at him, so he said, "We are about the same age, just call me Li Chuan."
"Okay." Chang Xiao obeyed.
Li Chuan thought for a while and said: "Mr. Chang, please take us to Zhuangzi. It is not a secret that I am the inheritor of "The Classic of Patterns", but as you said, you usually interact with Qin Tianjian, who has almost no connection with Xuanmen, suddenly wants to find me, and also pointed out that I can cure your disease...I am not sure I can cure it myself. So I want to find out about this matter."
Chang Xiao said: "Of course, when do you want to go? Are you leaving now?"
"Wait, wait until Director Wen comes back...and we still have questions to ask you." Li Chuan said.
Chang Xiao was very straightforward and said: "If you ask directly, there is nothing I can't say."
…
At this time, Wen Guying and Gong Wuguang were standing in the clouds, looking in the direction of the palace.
Gong Wuguang asked Wen Guying: "How many years of luck do you think Da Jiang Dynasty has left?"
"Don't you know best?" Wen Guying asked.
Gong Wuguang said: "If Prince Su succeeds to the throne, the Jiang Dynasty will still have more than a hundred years of luck, but now I can't see clearly what this person is saying."
Wen Guying said: "There are still eight years."
"No more, just watch again." Gong Wuguang said.
Wen Guying looked again, but his brows furrowed as he looked at it. He said, "How could it be that... it seems to be broken but not broken, actually..."
"It seems like there is a thousand-year destiny, right?" Gong Wuguang continued what Wen Guying said: "There has never been a thousand-year dynasty in this world."
"When did you find out?" Wen Guying asked.
"The third year after His Majesty succeeded to the throne." Gong Wuguang said.
"What happened that year?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know?" Wen Guying asked in doubt.
Gong Wuguang said: "Although I had entered the court at that time, I spent most of my time in seclusion, meditating and wandering around. It was not until I felt the change in my luck that I returned to my original position. Unexpectedly, the late emperor passed away and the empress succeeded to the throne. Da Jiang was full of energy. You only have eight years left."
"It is true that every move of a mortal cannot escape my divine thoughts. What happened at that moment to change the fate of Da Jiang Dynasty is no longer known. Afterwards, I investigated with great concentration, but gradually discovered that, It’s not just eight years left, but there is a vague possibility that it will last for thousands of years.”
Then, Gong Wuguang said: "Friend Daoist Wen, since you have entered the world, there are some things that you cannot avoid just by ignoring them."
Wen Gu should keep silent.
Gong Wuguang said calmly: "You should have figured it out when you agreed to stay with Li Chuan."
Wen Guying said: "It is one thing to join the world, but it is another thing to get involved in court affairs."
"What if Your Majesty is a variable in this catastrophe?" Gong Wuguang asked.
Wen Guying was silent for a moment, and then said, "What do you want me to do?"
"You don't have to do anything. When you are in the capital, come to Qin Tianjian more often. It would be better if you can give a few sermons at the Demon Control Department and give them some guidance." Gong Wuguang said.
"The catastrophe is approaching, and the immortals have no time to take care of themselves. No matter how much Qin Tianjian does, it is just in vain." Wen Guying said.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Gong Wuguang insisted, "If the Jiang Dynasty really has a thousand years of luck?"
"It's up to you." Wen Guying said noncommittally. Then he turned around and said, "Chang Xiao is here. I'm going back. Mr. Gong, please help yourself."
After saying that, Wen Guying flew towards Sanyi Hutong with his sword, and his figure quickly disappeared into the layered clouds.
Gong Wuguang looked toward the palace for a while, shook his head, and left.
…
Wen Guying put away his sword, opened the door of the house, walked forward into the main hall, and asked with a smile: "Where are you going?"
Li Chuan Jinrong and Chang Xiao both turned their heads when they heard the sound.
Li Chuan said: "We just mentioned you."
After introducing Wen Guying and Chang Xiao to each other, Li Chuan told Chang Xiao's dream and Wen Guying's, and then said: "So we plan to go to Zhuangzi to take a look, maybe we can find some clues."
Wen Guying said: "Then go now, leave early and come back early."
Several people agreed.
When it was almost noon, they arrived at Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. Chang Xiao ordered the steward to prepare lunch while leading them towards the place where he lived.
Zhuangzi is very quiet.
After walking into the inner room, Chang Xiao pointed to the book table and said, "It's right here, and on the wall beside the bed."
Li Chuan and three others gathered around.
The two words "文经" are indeed engraved on the desk and wall. But unlike Li Chuan's imagination, these words were not intertwined, but rather neat.
And there are many small characters surrounding two large characters. The big characters are in a position that can be seen at a glance, while the small characters seem to play a role in emphasis.
Reading so many words, not only does it not make you feel crazy, but it makes you feel that the person who carved these words is quite rational and well-planned.
So Li Chuan turned to look at Chang Xiao and felt that this was not his style.
"Brother Li, what did you see?" Wen Guying asked.
Li Chuan replied: "I think Mr. Chang might have been possessed by something at that time."
If no outsiders really come in, possession is the most likely possibility.
Wen Guying nodded and said to Chang Xiao: "Mr. Chang, can you let me check your body?"
Chang Xiao naturally agreed and said, "Of course."
Then, Wen Guying reached out and patted Chang Xiao on the shoulder, and then grabbed his hand. After studying it carefully, Wen Guying let go of his hand and said, "There are no traces of being possessed, but it may be because of time." Because it took too long.”
Then Wen Guying asked again: "When you were a child, were you any different from others?"
Chang Xiao thought for a while, then apologized and said: "I grew up in Wochi when I was a child, and was brought back by my father when I was more than ten years old, so I don't know if there is any difference."
Then he asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?"
Wen Guying also said bluntly: "I suspect that your bloodline is different."
"Bloodline?" Chang Xiao was a little surprised.
Wen Guying said: "Yes, after all...it is difficult for ordinary people to live in Wochi."
