What spreads quickly in the Xuanmen is nothing more than where there is a secret realm or a treasure of heaven and earth, which sect has a feud with which sect, which monk defeated which monk, etc., and occasionally there will be some gossip about the blood of the heavenly thunder and dogs as embellishments.

After listening a lot, Li Chuan consciously had a deeper understanding of Xuanmen.

After the sermon, many of the monks felt that they were not having enough fun, so they met together to drink tea at a nearby tea stall.

Li Chuan also followed.

The tea stall was opened by a demon, and the main body is said to be a 10,000-year-old tea tree.

Li Chuan took a sip of tea and felt that the taste was somewhat familiar. I suddenly remembered the tea that I brought back for the third Chinese New Year last year, maybe I bought it from here.

"I heard that the senior brother is out of the customs." A monk dressed in blue said.

"So fast? Didn't you say that he was badly injured? Another monk dressed in white asked.

"No," said another monk, "I met him at the gate when he returned, and I asked him a few questions, and he answered them all." ”

“……”

After arguing for a while, they mentioned Liu Yanglai of Xuanyue Gate again, saying that he had discovered a demon ruin. Then they discussed the Great Tribulation of Gods and Demons 30,000 years ago.

Li Chuan quietly listened to the conversation around him, the fragrance of tea echoed in his mouth, and a sense of steadfastness arose in his heart.

"Li Chuan? Brother Li, are you here too? ”

Li Chuan heard someone calling him, raised his head, and saw a monk with short hair and half of his face wrapped in a white cloth walking towards him.

"Brother Tian? Why do you ......" Li Chuan struggled to recognize the person who came as Tian Wanghai, and after he sat down in front of him, he asked the second half of the sentence in a low voice, "How did you become like this?" ”

Tian Wanghai touched his hair and said, "Don't mention it, it's already a blessing to be able to escape with your life." Now 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, at first I was deceived by him, underestimated the enemy, but fell into a trap, and all the magic weapons were smashed inside, so I escaped." ”

After the hot tea was poured, Tian Wanghai held it with both hands, took a sip, and then talked about the experience of Jiangban County after parting.

He said: "After you left, I stayed in Jiangban County, followed the people of Qin Tianjian and some demon hunters, did some finishing touches, and made a lot of friends. After the matter was over, they invited me to come along, and I thought that I would not be able to grow the spiritual rice anyway, and it would be better to travel in the world, so I agreed. ”

"We traveled together for about half a year, killed a lot of evil demons, saved a lot of people, and then we had a little disagreement, and I left alone." Tian Wanghai took a sip of tea and said: "Now that I think about it, it's not a disagreement, the demon hunter has to rely on catching demons and ghosts to support himself, and although I am only an outer disciple, and I have lost a lot of spiritual rice, there will be a sect to rely on in the end." ”

So after that, I traveled alone in the world. I don't know why, but suddenly there are more youkai. Tian Wanghai said.

Hearing him say this, Li Chuan suddenly raised his spirits and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Tian Wanghai said: "When I was with the demon hunters, we went to hunt demons, and we encountered one or two things a month. After I separated from them, although my cultivation was much higher than theirs, I really didn't know how I found the monster hidden in the courtyard of the deep house. ”

"Isn't it possible to see the demonic spirit?" Li Chuan asked.

Tian Wanghai replied: "I can't see it anyway." ”

Then he said, "At that time, in one month, I encountered five monster rebellions, all in different villages. At that time, I thought it was an accident, but the next month, there were eight incidents. Those monsters hiding in the deep mountains and old forests seem to have made an appointment and ran to the world. ”

"And...... Not only some little demons, but also many people with good cultivation have also run out. The fire beast I met was, at that time, the villager only said that the food suddenly disappeared, I thought it was a rat demon or something, all the way to investigate, found that it was indeed a rat demon, until I was led to his lair, I noticed that something was wrong and wanted to escape, he revealed his true body, it turned out to be a fire beast! ”

Tian Wanghai was a little unwilling to say: "This kind of cultivated monster doesn'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, and one of the demon cultivators broke the silence and said, "Is it possible that the mountains and forests they originally lived in are no longer suitable for them to survive?" ”

There is another old man, who came out from behind the tea stall, he is the doppelganger of the 10,000-year-old tea tree, he said: "Not only these little demons, I heard that many demon cultivators, defecting to the big demons, all suddenly have a sense of danger, want to huddle together for warmth." ”

After discussing it for a while, the conversation shifted elsewhere.

Li Chuan heard Tian Wanghai ask him: "I heard that in fact, the Lingyu King went to the capital, is it true?" ”

"Yes, she is here to save Prince Su." Li Chuan said.

"Lord Su? The Dragon King? Tian Wanghai asked.

"That's him." Li Chuan said.

"The place where I was injured by the Fire Light Beast is in the fiefdom of Prince Su, Qingtan County in Yashan County." Tian Wanghai said.

Li Chuan immediately asked, "How is it over there now?" ”

Tian Wanghai said: "Except for the fact that there are more demon troubles, there is no difference between others and other places. The local people said that when the dragon king was there, the wind and rain were smooth here, and there was a good harvest every year, and there was no evil trouble. They said that the Dragon King was the destiny of heaven, and the current emperor stole the luck of the Dragon King to sit on the throne. So, they all thought that the Dragon King would come back. ”

He thought for a while, and then said, "Could it be that because it is the fiefdom of the Dragon King, there are so many monsters?" ”

"I can't tell." Li Chuan said.

Tian Wanghai asked curiously: "You are an official in Qintianjian, then, have you seen the current emperor?" ”

"I've seen it once, and Prince Su has also seen it." Li Chuan described the process of meeting the empress, and said: "The empress is indeed extremely imposing, if you only look at his people, I really can't imagine that he will do something to collude with the big demon." ”

After chatting for a while, Li Chuan asked Tian Wanghai about his future plans.

Tian Wanghai said: "I am not healed from my injuries now, I have no magic weapons, and I dare not leave the Four Divine Palace. Fortunately, I have a lot of experience in cultivating spirit plants, and when I recover from my injury, I will go to the medicine garden to work for a while before thinking about anything else. What about you? ”

Li Chuan said: "I am also recuperating from my injuries. After raising, I will go to Tianyu Gate first. ”

"Where are you hurt?" Tian Wanghai asked.

Li Chuan said: "It's just that the mind is overwhelmed, and it's almost better." ”

After chatting for a while, the two patients both told each other to recuperate, and then went back to rest.

……

After a while, after Li Chuan was well, Wen Guying prepared a luxurious immortal boat and took them to Tianyu Gate.
