The things that spread quickly in Xuanmen are nothing more than where a secret realm or heavenly material or earthly treasure has been born, which sect has enmity with which sect, which monk defeated which monk, etc. Occasionally, there will be some thunderous gossip to embellished it. .
After listening more, Li Chuan felt that he had a deeper understanding of Xuanmen.
After the sermon ended, many monks felt that they were not satisfied yet, so they met to drink tea at a nearby tea stall.
Li Chuan also followed.
The tea stall was opened by a demon cultivator, and the tea stall is said to be a thousand-year-old tea tree.
Li Chuan took a sip of tea and felt that the taste was familiar. Suddenly I remembered the tea that Mr. Er Pang San brought back for the Chinese New Year last year. Maybe he bought it from here.
"I heard that Senior Brother has been released from confinement." A monk in blue said.
"So fast? Doesn't it mean he was seriously injured?" asked another monk in white.
"No," another monk joined the discussion and said, "When he came back, I met him at the mountain gate. I asked him a few questions, and he answered them all."
"..."
After arguing for a while, they brought up Liu Yang from Xuanyue Sect and said that he had discovered a demon relic. Then they discussed the great catastrophe of gods and demons 30,000 years ago.
Li Chuan listened quietly to the conversations around him, the fragrance of tea lingering in his mouth, and he felt a sense of security in his heart.
"Li Chuan? Brother Li, are you here too?"
When Li Chuan heard someone calling him, he raised his head and saw a monk with short hair and half his face wrapped in white cloth walking towards him.
"Brother Tian? How did you..." Li Chuan struggled to recognize the person who was Tian Wanghai. After he sat down in front of him, he whispered the second half of the question, "How did you become like this?" appearance?"
Tian Wanghai touched his hair and said, "Don't mention it. I'm lucky to have escaped with my life. These injuries will be healed in a few months."
"Who hurt you?" Li Chuan continued to ask in a low voice
Tian Wanghai didn't seem to mind. He said: "It's a fire beast, very cunning. I was deceived by him at first and underestimated the enemy. In the end, I fell into a trap and all the magic weapons were thrown into it before I escaped."
After the hot tea was poured, Tian Wanghai held it with both hands, took a sip, and then talked about his experience after farewell in Jiangpan County.
He said: "After you left, I stayed in Jiangpan County. I followed the people from Qintian Prison and some demon hunters to do some finishing work and made many friends. After what happened there, they invited I went with him, and I thought that my spiritual rice wouldn’t be able to be grown anyway, so I might as well travel around in the secular world, so I agreed.”
"We traveled together for about half a year, killing many evil spirits and saving many people. Later, we had some differences, so I left alone." Tian Wanghai took a sip of tea and said, "Now that I think about it, It’s not really a disagreement, a demon catcher has to support himself by catching demons and ghosts, and although I’m just an outer disciple and I’ve made a huge loss in cultivating spiritual rice, I will eventually have a sect that I can rely on.”
"After that, I traveled alone in the secular world. I don't know what happened, but suddenly there were more monsters." Tian Wanghai said.
Hearing what he said, Li Chuan immediately perked up and asked, "How do you say it?"
Tian Wanghai said: "When I was with the monster catching masters, we went to catch monsters, and we only encountered one or two things a month. After I separated from them, although my cultivation level was much higher than theirs, But I really don’t know how to find the monster hiding in the deep house compound.”
"Can't you see the demonic energy rising into the sky?" Li Chuan asked.
Tian Wanghai replied: "I can't see it anyway."
Then he said: "At that time, I encountered five monsters in one month, all in different villages. At that time, I thought it was an accident, but in the second month, there were eight. Those monsters hiding in the mountains and old forests The monster seems to have made an appointment and has come to the human world."
"And... not only some little demons, but many people with good cultivation also ran out. The fire beast I met was this. At that time, the villager only said that the food suddenly disappeared, so I thought it was a rat demon. I traced it all the way and found out that it was indeed a rat demon. It wasn’t until I was led to his lair and I realized something was wrong and I wanted to run away that he revealed his true identity and turned out to be a fire beast!"
Tian Wanghai said with some reluctance: "Monsters with this level of cultivation don't need to eat whole grains?"
As soon as these words came out, the entire tea stall fell silent.
There were many demon cultivators drinking tea and chatting in the tea stall. One of the demon cultivators broke the silence and said, "Is it possible that the mountains and forests where they originally lived are no longer suitable for them to survive?"
Another old man came out from behind the tea stall. He was the clone of the thousand-year-old tea tree. He said: "It's not just these little demons. I heard that many demon cultivators who defected to the big demon suddenly had something." I have a premonition of danger and just want to hug each other for warmth."
After discussing it for a while, the topic turned elsewhere.
Li Chuan heard Tian Wanghai ask him: "I heard that the real King of Spirit Fish went to the capital. Is it true?"
"Yes, she is trying to save Prince Su." Li Chuan said.
"Prince Su? King Gunlong?" Tian Wanghai asked.
"That's him." Li Chuan said.
"The place where I was injured by the fire beast is in Qingtan County, Yashan County, the fiefdom of Prince Su." Tian Wanghai said.
Li Chuan immediately asked: "What's going on over there now?"
Tian Wanghai said: "Apart from the fact that there are more monsters, everything else is no different from other places. The local people say that when the Dragon King was here, the weather here was smooth, the harvest was good every year, and there were no monsters. They said that the Dragon King was the one here. It is destiny, and the current emperor stole the luck of King Gun Dragon to sit on the throne. Therefore, they all think that King Gun Dragon will come back."
He thought for a while and then said: "Is it because it is the fiefdom of King Gunlong that there are so many monsters?"
"I can't tell for sure." Li Chuan said.
Tian Wanghai asked curiously: "You were an official in Qintian Prison. Then, have you met the current emperor?"
"I've only met him once, and Prince Su has also met him." Li Chuan described the process of meeting the empress, and said: "The empress is indeed very powerful. As for Prince Su, just looking at his people, I really can't think of what he can do. There is something about colluding with the big demon."
After chatting for a while, Li Chuan asked Tian Wanghai about his future plans.
Tian Wanghai said: "My injury has not healed yet, I have no magic weapons, and I dare not leave the Four Gods Palace. Fortunately, I have a lot of experience in growing spiritual plants. When I recover from my injury, I will go to the medicine garden to work for a while. Think of nothing else. What about you?"
Li Chuan said: "I am also recovering from my injuries. After I recover, I will go to Tianyumen first."
"Where are you injured?" Tian Wanghai asked.
Li Chuan said: "It's just that my mind has been exhausted, and I'll be fine soon."
After the two patients chatted for a while, they both told each other to take a good rest, and then went back to rest.
…
After a while, after Li Chuan recovered, Wen Guying prepared a luxurious fairy boat and took them to Tianyumen.
