When Li Chuan took Feng Zhang back home, Jiang Mei and Wukong had not yet returned, but Chang Xiao and Tong were at home.

"Mr. Li, are you back? What about Master Wukong and Jiang Daochang? Chang Xiao asked after seeing Li Chuan.

"They have something to do, and they are expected to be there soon." Li Chuan estimated that the two were going to investigate the origin of the old monk, but he didn't say much, but just introduced Feng Zhang to Chang Xiao and Tong Luo.

Li Chuan said: "This is the archer I mentioned to you, you can call him Uncle Tong, and this Chang Gongzi, his sword skills are very powerful, and they can learn from each other." ”

Feng Zhang heard this and immediately asked them for advice.

Chang Xiao and Tong Luo, seeing that Feng Zhang was smart and knowledgeable, were also willing to teach him.

Li Chuan saw that they had a good chat, so he walked to the backyard and found Gongji under the re-erected grape trellis. He asked, "What about the third brother?" Where did he go? ”

Gonger said, "The third brother went fishing in the river. ”

"Why didn't you go with you?" Li Chuan asked.

Gongji replied: "I'm thinking at home if I can get older, otherwise if I go out with my third brother, others will think I'm his son." ”

Then, he said, "Big brother, I want to go to the Four Gods Palace to find Master Goose and see what he can do." ”

"After waiting for the New Year, I ate Brother Tong's wedding wine, and then we will go together." Li Chuan persuaded him, "Daochang Wen is not here, and there is no immortal boat, even if you take a carriage, it will take ten days and a half to arrive." It's better to wait for the wedding wine and ask Jiang Daochang to send us over. I also want to spend some time meditating in the Four Shrines. ”

"Did the eldest brother come back in a carriage today?" Gong Er asked.

"Well, my mind moved today, so I gave it a try, and I could barely drive it." Li Chuan replied: "I plan to try to change Ming Xianpei again in a few days, this time I should be able to be a little sure." ”

After Li Chuan chatted with Gonger for a while, Pan San came back with a fish basket.

Even though it was winter and the river was frozen, Punsan's harvest was still abundant.

He poured the fish into the fish bowl and said, "Big brother, do you want to eat grilled fish at noon?" Or make fish soup? ”

"Fish soup, lighter, nourishment." Li Chuan said.

"In the morning, I saw steamed mutton sold in the market, so I bought some and came back, but I didn't know if my eldest brother would come back today, so I didn't buy much." Pan San said.

"Well, there are guests coming to the door today, so let's go buy some food and drink later." Li Chuan commanded.

"Okay, I'll go after I've cooked the fish." Pan San said.

After chatting with Gong Er and San, Li Chuan suddenly felt something, he turned his head to look back, and saw Jiang Mei walking out of the house.

"Daoist Jiang, are you back? Empty? Li Chuan asked.

Jiang Mei said: "He is in front, teaching that kid how to stick a stick." ”

He glanced at the second and third side of the gong and said, "Brother Li, let's go outside for a walk, shall we?" ”

"Okay." Li Chuan responded.

Then they went out through the back door, and went straight on, into the ridge.

The snow on the ridges has not yet melted, reflecting the thin sunlight.

Li Chuan was the first to ask: "Daoist Jiang, did you and Wukong discover something?" ”

"Last night, I didn't have time to take me to the place where he saved the old monk, and a few places where he scattered his ashes. I suspect that the old monk is a descendant of the demon race. "Jiang Mei told Li Chuan about the results of his investigation with Wukong for one night." But...... I guess I'll still have to use the Yuanhuo Mirror to deduce it before I can determine his origin. ”

"I'll make it up as soon as possible." Li Chuan said.

"Don't worry, I have another way. But...... He has the secret art of the demon race, but he doesn't have much cultivation, if he is targeted by someone with a heart, it will be very dangerous. Jiang Mei said, "Now that the catastrophe has started, demons and ghosts frequently appear in the world, and he is determined to subdue demons and eliminate demons, it is only a matter of time before he is noticed." ”

Li Chuan knew that Jiang Mei was not an alarmist person, so he asked, "What does he think about Wukong?" ”

"I told him and he didn't care." Jiang Mei replied.

"What is Chief Jiang going to do?" Li Chuan asked.

Jiang Mei replied, "It's best to be sheltered by Mount Meru." I offered to introduce him, but he refused, saying that the old monk gave him the scriptures, and he collected the body of the old monk, and the matter was over. ”

Jiang Mei sighed slightly and said, "He also said that he shouldn't have revealed the old monk's burial place, but this matter involved the demon clan, so he could only betray his promise to the old monk." ”

Li Chuan said: "Since he said so, it is not easy to persuade him. ”

When Jiang Mei heard this, she stared at Li Chuan for a while and said, "I thought you would persuade him." Relying on a volume of scriptures, he can understand a set of corresponding stick methods, and with his understanding, after entering Mount Meru, he will be able to achieve something. ”

Li Chuan smiled and didn't speak.

"There's another thing." Jiang Mei continued to walk forward, and Li Chuan also followed.

Jiang Mei said: "A few days ago, I went to Guyue Gate. ”

"Did you find anything?" Li Chuan asked.

"The Four Divine Palaces have taken the inheritance of the Gu Yue Gate, and they will select the right people from among the disciples to practice the exercises of the Gu Yue Gate, so that this gate will not disappear completely." Jiang Mei said.

"That's good, too." Li Chuan commented.

"Thanks to Tong Luo. These days, I have observed his personality, although his qualifications are average, but his heart is very good, and he is a material that can be made. Therefore, I plan to teach him the introductory part of the ancient Yue Gate's beast control method. Jiang Mei said.

"That's great, Brother Tong is already good at archery, and after learning how to control beasts, it will be easier for him to hunt and catch demons on weekdays," Li Chuan was happy for Tong Luo, and said in confusion: "Didn't you say that the method of controlling beasts was lost?" ”

"The introductory part has been recompleted." Jiang Mei answered Li Chuan's question.

"Daoist Jiang, are you leaving?" Li Chuan suddenly realized something.

"I'm going to investigate something." After Jiang Mei saw Li Chuan's expression, she said, "There is still a month or two to go, when I finish teaching Tong Luo." After that, I'll send you to the Four Divine Palaces, or do you want to go to Tianyu Gate, Xuanyue Gate? ”

"Four Shrines." Li Chuan said that he remembered the method of ascending and said, "Chief Jiang Dao, can you also teach the method of ascending to Tong Luo and Wuwu? ”

Jiang Mei agreed and said, "This is simple, I'll teach them when I go back." ”

"By the way, Prince Su may be related to the demon clan, we have asked the general to send someone to his fief to investigate, if you find any news, I will send you a message?" Li Chuan asked.

"I'm bothered, I can't help but go over there." Jiang Mei said.

After the two chatted for a while, they walked back, and Li Chuan saw the smoke rising from a distance, and when he got closer, he smelled the fragrance of fish soup.

After walking home, Li Chuan saw Chang Xiao dancing with a knife in the backyard, and the white knife light fell like snowflakes. Feng Zhang was fascinated by it on the side, and he couldn't wait to worship Chang Xiao as a teacher immediately.
