Luo Xueli's arrival saved Li Chuan and Wen Gu from having to make a special trip back to the capital.
This gave him at least ten extra days. Li Chuan felt relieved and asked Luo Xueli to go back to his residence to talk.
After stepping into the courtyard, they saw Gong Er flying on a branch, rapidly switching forms.
Li Chuan resisted touching his forehead and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Gong Er said confidently: "Master Goose asked me to practice more transformations. I decided to change at least a thousand times a day. Today I only changed three hundred times. Brother, please don't disturb me."
"Okay, you can continue." After Li Chuan finished speaking, he led Luo Xueli into the house, only to see Chang Xiao sitting and chatting with four monks wearing the costumes of the Four Gods Palace.
Seeing Li Chuan and Luo Xueli come in, Chang Xiao stood up and said, "Mr. Li, you are back, and Mr. Luo, you are here too." He introduced the four monks in the room to Li Chuan and said, "They They were the monks who accompanied me in Qingzong before, and I happened to meet them at the martial arts field today. They wanted to meet Mr., so I brought them back."
The four monks all looked at Li Chuan with curiosity.
One of the long-faced ones seemed familiar to Li Chuan, and sure enough, he was the first to speak: "Mr. Li, I was also in Yanqing Mountain during the last Xuantai Spiritual Light Meeting. Thanks to your rescue, I can continue to practice."
Li Chuan said humbly: "This is only possible because everyone believes in me."
After chatting for a few words, they all realized that Li Chuan and Luo Xueli had something to talk about, so they found an excuse to leave.
It finally quieted down.
Li Chuan brought Luo Xueli to the study. After sitting down, Luo Xueli asked Li Chuan, "Where is Director Wen?"
Li Chuan said: "He and the old palace master set up a formation at Jinyang Peak. Jiang Song from Qingzong is also there. Are you looking for him?"
"Don't worry, since he is in the Four Gods Palace, we can always meet him sooner or later. It's just me telling him what I said again." Luo Xueli said. He sat up straight, with a flat face. There is no emotion at all.
So Li Chuan went straight to the point and asked: "What clues were found over there in Qinshuitan?"
Luo Xueli said: "There are only a few people worshiping Shenxia around Qinshuitan, the incense is very deserted, and only ten or twenty people participate in the annual sacrificial day of Shenxia Temple."
"So few?" Li Chuan was surprised, "What about those who worship Ancient Immortal Tiansu?"
"Not many people know about Ancient Immortal Tiansu. They usually worship the gods created by Haotian and Song Fengzi. After all, they are in charge of things, and Shenxia... no, Shenxia is also in charge of things." Luo Xueli said : "Shenxia Sect, in charge."
"Shenxia Sect? Is there really a Shenxia Sect?" Li Chuan asked.
"Yes. They were originally a group of folk craftsmen." Luo Xueli said, "Their inheritance lasts longer than the emergence of Shenxia."
"What craft?" Li Chuan asked.
"Many. Fortune telling, medical treatment, playing tricks, etc." There was also a slight fluctuation in Luo Xueli's tone. He said: "They are a branch of the Chunmen. They were active in the southwest a thousand years ago, about three hundred years ago. , disappeared. Maybe they discovered the secret of Shenxia Temple at that time."
"Then how do they manage things?" Li Chuan asked.
"We found a man. Seven years ago, his wife was seriously ill. He asked for help from doctors and gods to no avail. Finally, he accidentally worshiped the magic hero. Not long after, a doctor came to the door, claiming that he had received a dream from the magic hero to help his wife. Cure.”
Luo Xueli said, with a strange look on his face. He said: "Qintian Prison was able to find this person because this person reported to the official that the doctor was cheating money and sex. But not long after, That person went to the government again and said that he had made a mistake."
"Through that person, we learned the identities of the other worshipers of the Divine Heroes. After searching, we found that they all had similar experiences." Luo Xueli's face became serious again and said: "But...it seems that the Divine Heroes Sect is not It’s everyone’s business. If you can perform a miracle once a year, that’s a lot. Twenty years ago, it was more, but in recent years it’s become less and less.”
"Did they tell you what the charlatan looked like?" Li Chuan asked
Luo Xueli shook his head and said, "They all said they didn't remember. But one of them was also from the Chunmen. He heard a few words occasionally whispered by the doctor and recognized it. Based on this, we searched again. I found many people in many places and used magic to trace their origins, and then I found out their origins."
"Have you found out how they got in touch with the half-demon woman?" Li Chuan asked.
"Not yet." Luo Xueli said.
"I see." Li Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Before going to the Shenxia Temple, we will first go to Tianyu Gate to see Lao smile and see if he can speak."
"Okay." Luo Xueli nodded and said, "Before I came, I went to the secret realm of Xuanshui Mountain to confirm some of the master's guesses."
"What guess?" Li Chuan asked.
"Ancient Immortal Tiansu has fallen." Luo Xueri said. He saw Li Chuan's expression and said, "Sure enough, you think so too."
Li Chuan said: "Yes."
"Tian Su created the Classic of Patterns, and you are the successor of the Scripture of Patterns. Therefore, the master feels that your trip to the Shenxia Temple will not be easy." Luo Xueli said, "The Shenxia Temple is in the mortal world, People often go to Qinshuitan to play, I will follow you, if anything happens, I can handle it."
Li Chuan was moved after hearing this and said, "Thank you very much."
Luo Xueli nodded.
After finishing the business, Li Chuan asked about the situation of Zhu Qingyun, Jin Rong and others.
Luo Xueli said: "At present, monsters are everywhere, and many big monsters are recruiting troops and are ready to take action. Junior sister and second junior brother have traveled to several places in half a month, and third junior brother is even more busy."
"That……"
Luo Xueli shook her head at Li Chuan and said: "The relationship is very important, and Qin Tianjian cannot be alone. We must find out. If you are willing, just help us share more of the burden after you return to Beijing."
"Brother Li, can I come in?" Jiang Song's voice came in at this time.
"Wait a minute." Li Chuan said, walked to the door and opened it, and Jiang Song stood outside the door.
He seemed to be in much better spirits, and his face was still a little pale.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, you are here too," Jiang Song said hello to Luo Xueli, then found a chair and sat down.
"Is the formation ready?" Li Chuan asked him.
"It's almost done, but the two of them are still discussing how to transmit the surge outside the formation." Jiang Song also showed a helpless expression similar to Yang Jiu's, and said, "I can't help it. If you talk, you’ll be back.”
Then he said seriously: "I have been studying the White Walkers these days. Although there is no progress yet,... Li Chuan, have you ever thought about it, they seem to have no thinking, they just follow instinct, or follow a simple instruction. , copying it desperately. Could that instruction be a law established by some great power between heaven and earth? "
