Chapter 297: The Pure Demon Pavilion Incident
Zhou Tong believes that at present, it is necessary to maintain an objective stance to look at these insufficient clues, and making judgments in vain will only lead to preconceived ideas, which can easily deviate from the correct path of searching for the truth.
After Uncle Xiao Chixuan's warning, he vaguely felt that tomorrow's cultivation journey would not end in a short period of time, and he had to take advantage of this free time to solve some problems that he was worried about.
He had to go out and talk to that 'former' friend, but he didn't know how to find that person in the Taoist temple, and it seemed more practical to find Liu Wenyan, who had the name of 'know-it-all'.
"Hey, Wenyan, so you're here. Zhou Tong used ten paper cranes to search, and found Liu Wenyan in the practice room.
"Huh, have you broken the barrier, what kind of wind blew you here?" Liu Wenyan's face hung a bright smile.
Zhou Tong replied: "I need your help, this matter is a piece of cake for you, a 'jack of all trades'." ”
"Oh, let's hear it!" Liu Wenyan was a little curious about what Zhou Tong needed his help with. ”“
"I need to find a person in the Taoist temple, his name is Ouyang, this is what he looks like. Zhou Tong unfolded a painting scroll and gently swept it over the snow-white and clean picture with his right palm, and the lifelike portrait of the person jumped onto the paper.
Liu Wenyan took the scroll and looked at it carefully, and asked casually, "What are you looking for this person for?"
Zhou Tong replied calmly: "I have to find this person today, I have some personal grievances that need to be settled." ”
"Oh, but I haven't heard of anyone you've had a holiday with. After Liu Wenyan put away the scroll in his hand, his puzzled eyes fell on Zhou Tong's body.
Zhou Tong avoided answering this, "Wenyan, I hope you will help me find him within this day as soon as possible." ”
Liu Wenyan saw that he was reluctant to answer, so he replied: "Okay, I will find it for you as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you!" Zhou Tong was very grateful to Liu Wenyan for not continuing to ask, "Also, you sent that spirit into the Pure Demon Pavilion last time, can you tell me the specific location?"
His expression froze slightly, and Liu Wenyan asked solemnly, "Why are you asking this?" There was a hint of caution in his eyes.
"I ...... I'm just curious what will happen to this spirit after it is sent to the Pure Demon Pavilion?" Zhou Tong actually couldn't figure out why he was asking this, and it was estimated that he blurted out on a whim, what if he knew? Could it be that he was kind enough to save the other party? and it wasn't that his head was burned.
Liu Wenyan listened to his answer and did not relax, "Zhou Tong, you are very strange today. He looked at Zhou Tong as if he was looking at a stranger.
Zhou Tong was uncomfortable by his gaze, "Strange? How can it be strange? I just asked some questions, does this seem strange?"
"You seem to be particularly concerned about this spirit, Zhou Tong, what do you have to do with it?" But, no matter what your relationship is, I give you a piece of advice as a brother, this spirit is very angry, it is better for you not to have anything to do with him!" Liu Wenyan said solemnly.
Finding that the atmosphere between the two was too dull, Zhou Tong hurriedly let out a few laughs to divert the focus of the topic, he put his arm around Liu Wenyan, and said, "I understand, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart." With his right hand, he made a fist and gently struck the position of the heart.
"I hope so!" Liu Wenyan added with some unease, and instead, he added: "Of course, it would be okay if you just looked at him. ”
Zhou Tong replied with a look of joy on his face: "If you can do this, it would be great!"
Liu Wenyan took out two things from his waist, and after fiddling with them in his hand a few times, a bamboo dragonfly appeared in his palm, whispered a few words to it, and with a slight rubbing of his hands, the bamboo dragonfly flew in the southeast direction......
The two of them immediately set off to walk towards the Pure Demon Pavilion, and when the eight-sided Pure Demon Pavilion, which was quite grandiose, entered their sight, a team of pavilion guards hurriedly rushed out of the Pure Demon Pavilion, and they quickly divided into two columns, the first column strictly guarded the entire gate of the Pure Demon Pavilion, and the second column spread out in all directions step by step, and carried out a large-scale overlooking search.
Zhou Tong and Liu Wenyan rushed to the three meters in front of the gate of the Pure Demon Pavilion one after another, and before they could get any closer, the leader of the pavilion who was strictly guarding the gate immediately took a step forward to stop the two of them. "Stop now! you can't go in here!"
Zhou Tong and Liu Wenyan glanced at each other, and then, Liu Wenyan asked very respectfully, "Respected Pavilion Keeper, what happened?"
The Pavilion Keeper who raised his arm to stop them replied with a blank face, "You'd better return to your quarters obediently, as for what happened in the Demon Purification Pavilion, I can't say anything at the moment, but I'm sure you'll find out soon." ”
In view of the fact that the truth of this matter is still unclear, even if you want to get preliminary information in a short period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a way in. After all, the two of them didn't have any connections on hand. So, Zhou Tong and Liu Wenyan temporarily decided to go to Wu Yan to pass the time.
However, when they were halfway there, they happened to be informed about Ou Yang's whereabouts. Liu Wenyan took the bamboo dragonfly that flew back and listened to it for a while, stared at Zhou Tong and replied: "I already know where the person you are looking for is, go now?" or ......?"
Zhou Tong's face immediately flashed for a moment of distraction, nodded firmly, and replied: "Well, go now, some things will be more inappropriate the longer they drag on, so it's better to solve them as soon as possible." ”
Liu Wenyan felt that Zhou Tong's words sounded a little strange, especially the second half of the sentence, which seemed to be talking to himself. He was a little relieved and proposed, "Zhou Tong, let me accompany you all the way later, right?"
After being silent for half a minute, Zhou Tong took a few deep breaths before slowly speaking: "Okay, anyway, this is not an unsightly thing, it should be easier for you to let go of the obsession in my heart if you accompany me." ”
Along the way, Liu Wenyan found that Zhou Tong's brows were always furrowed, the speed of progress sometimes slowed down, sometimes accelerated, and the hands hanging down at his side unconsciously clenched into fists, he could see that his mood at the moment was both contradictory and hesitant, full of worries. Such an abnormal performance made him very curious about what kind of festival happened between this person named Ou Yang and Zhou Tong.
