When Li Chuan returned to Yunqiao Township, it had already snowed several times.
I left at the end of summer and came back at the end of winter. Time flew by.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the house, and a big white dog was lying next to the door, his eyelids drooped, and he was taking a nap. Under the winter sun, the fur was smooth and shiny. After hearing the movement, Dabai opened his eyes and stood up. He saw Li Chuan getting off the carriage, followed by Gong Er and Pang San, and then It’s Chang Xiao, and finally Jiang Mei.
Li Chuan also saw Dabai. He smiled and said, "Dabai, why are you here?"'
Dabai said: "The children and Brother Tong went into the mountains. When I was wandering around, I saw that the sun was good here, so I came over to take a nap."
"Going into the mountains? What are you doing in the mountains in such a cold weather?" Li Chuan was a little surprised.
Dabai replied: "A few foreigners came to the village a few days ago. I heard that when they came, they only had a pair of pants left and were purple with cold. They said there was a group of robbers on the mountain who robbed their things. Brother Tong I know it, so I plan to go and have a look.”
"That's it." Li Chuan nodded and said.
Dabai asked: "Do you want me to call Brother Tong back?"
Li Chuan said: "No, I'll wait for him to come back."
Then Li Chuan introduced each other to Dabai and Jiang Chang. Then he pushed the door open, and the snow in the yard was swept aside. The stone steps were shining brightly in the sun. A sparrow flew up from the eaves, and the remaining snow fell slightly.
Apparently someone was cleaning the place from time to time when he was away.
The room is also very refreshing.
Li Chuan asked Jiang Mei and Chang Xiao to sit down. The second son went to boil water on his own initiative. The third person said something to Li Chuan and then took the money and went out to buy food.
The deserted courtyard suddenly became lively.
Chang Xiao looked around and asked, "Mr. Li, do you live here?"
"Yeah, it's a bit small, right? I've thought about expanding the house before, or simply building a new house. Some people are willing to fund it, but firstly, I don't have the time, and secondly, I feel quite comfortable living by myself. I just want to I've been wronging you for a while." Li Chuan said, "If you don't get used to it..."
"No, no," Chang Xiao quickly explained: "I am a savage, living in a world covered by the sky, what can I not get used to? I just thought that Mr. Li's life is so hard, but his knowledge is so good, in "The Classic of Patterns" The attainments in this field are so profound...in fact, it really makes me feel ashamed!"
Li Chuan remembered the ancient books, calligraphy and paintings that the adopted son of the general had given him before, and felt that he had to treat his madness when he was free.
Anyone who knows him well can't tell that Li Chuan is a lazy person. Since he came here, he has never touched any other book except "The Classic of Patterns".
Jiang Mei was very satisfied. He said: "I will stay here for a while, just in time to sort out what Wochi and his party saw and heard this time, and bring it back to the sect. From now on, the Wochi forbidden area will not be so dangerous, and we can often visit it." Take your disciples in to practice, and then you can put what you have learned this time to use."
Hearing this, Li Chuan said: "I will repair the Yuanhuo Mirror as soon as possible."
Jiang Mei nodded and said: "If you can't repair it at the moment, don't force it... When you come to Tianyumen later, you can learn more about the Yuanhuo Mirror before you can repair it."
"I know." Li Chuan said.
After chatting for a while, the water boiled and the other three came back with some hot snacks.
After making tea and serving dishes and snacks, the three of them and the two demons chatted while eating.
Li Chuan just felt very peaceful in his heart. This time he walked back by himself, without any illness or injury, and was fully illuminated by the sky pillar. It seemed that the serious illnesses in his body were getting better.
After this winter, maybe it will be fine.
He said: "I don't know if Mr. Wen has reached the Four Gods Palace."
Jiang Mei said: "It should be a few days ago. Now that the old palace master has left seclusion, I hope I can talk to him well. This time... if the half-demon doesn't care about Feng Huanyi at all, or just pretends to care, he will I have to explain it at the bottom of the well."
Li Chuan was somewhat emotional after hearing this, and said, "I didn't expect that the relationship between the half-demon and the fish-demon would be so deep."
Chang Xiao still didn't know what happened on Yanqing Mountain. After Li Chuan told him about it, he was very surprised and said, "That half-demon is so insidious and cunning, how can she actually have friends?"
Jiang Mei said: "Twenty-one years ago, she was not like this."
"Have you seen her before?" Chang Xiao asked.
"I've seen it before. I happened to be there at the Xuantai Spiritual Light Society that year. There was something wrong with the formation in the secret realm at that time, and I was called over to fix it," Jiang Mei recalled, saying: "She looked like a A bright and lively little girl, with good strength and cheerful manner, she can chat with anyone, and the monks she defeated don't seem to hold any grudge against her."
Jiang Mei said: "After the incident, there were many monks who spoke for her. It was not until the immortal spoke that the subsequent results came about."
Chang Xiao really couldn't reconcile the gloomy half-demon he saw with the little girl Jiang Mei talked about.
Jiang Mei looked at him and said: "The world is changing, and people are always changing. In fact...if it hadn't been for the immortal's words, and what Brother Li had discovered about the strange ghosts, and what the Frost Leaf Sect had done, It’s really nothing.”
Jiang Mei then talked about several tragedies that had happened in Xuanmen, including those who used their disciples as food reserves and livestock, and those who lurked for thousands of years and finally became the head of an enemy family...
Li Chuan, Chang Xiao and Da Bai were all eye-opening.
Chang Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Has Xuanmen always been so chaotic?"
"There are always things that are not peaceful." Jiang Mei nodded.
"Can I still practice well?" Chang Xiao questioned.
Jiang Mei replied, "This is also a kind of spiritual practice."
The sky gradually became dark, and after several people had dinner, they went to rest.
It seems to be snowing outside again.
Li Chuan sat on the bed, unable to sleep for a while. He listened to the sound of falling snow for a while, then got out of bed, lit the lamp, and took out the Yuanhuo Mirror to look at it carefully.
The mirror is heavy. The crack on the mirror is in the lower left corner and is about two inches long.
Suddenly, he saw a little mouse in the mirror. Li Chuan looked away and saw the little mouse lying on the box nearby, staring at the Yuanhuo Mirror without blinking.
"How dare you come out now? Aren't you afraid that Director Jiang will find out?" Li Chuan asked.
The little mouse slithered up to the edge of the Yuanhuo Mirror and said, "I came out after observing it for a long time. There is no way he could have discovered it."
It asked: "Li Chuan, did he ask you to repair the Yuan Fire Mirror?"
"Let's take a look at it for now and make up for it later," Li Chuan said.
"It's fixed, can I make a copy?" the little mouse asked.
"What do you think?" Li Chuan asked.
"Let me make a copy. Anyway, I can grow it after raising it for a while. Don't I still have your pot? Just put it in and raise it." The little mouse tried his best and said: "I can teach you how to make up for it. I guarantee that it will be better than the rest. It was even better before it was replenished."
