Deviant Immortal of Uncanny Dao

Swinging limbs, trembling and retracting white pointed teeth, these things were moving in coordination with the knocking of music.

In the distance, three people were performing Nuo opera.
At this moment, Li Huowang felt as if they were no longer human, but trees.

After twisting a pot of tea, a certain high-pitched singing came from behind their wooden masks.

”ㄨㄛˊㄕㄣˊㄑㄨㄍㄨ~~ ”

This was a singing style that Li Huowang and the others couldn ’t understand.
The tone followed the sound of the instruments, sometimes high and sometimes low, with a special flavor.

Li Huowang and the others didn ’t understand, but the locals seemed to understand.
They closed their eyes, tapped their fingers on their legs, and hummed along.

”ㄓㄨㄢ~ㄨㄓ1ㄡˇ！ㄙㄢㄗ1ㄨㄤˊ,~！ㄨˊㄦˊㄨㄟˊ,1ˋ！！ㄍㄨㄟˇㄩˊㄕ1ˋ1ˇㄙㄨㄟˋ…… ”

After listening for a while and not understanding anything, Li Huowang took a step forward.

Whether it was weird or not, it had nothing to do with him since he wasn ’t an opera singer.

But just as he took a few steps, he saw Lv Zhuangyuan standing still.

”No rush, you guys go ahead.
Hmph! I want to see what kind of tricks they have here. ”

Perhaps because they were colleagues and enemies, he seemed to have a lot of hostility towards those who performed Nuo opera.

”Dad, maybe we should come back another day.
We ’re not familiar with this place.
It ’s not safe. ”

Lv Zhuangyuan suddenly widened his eyes and raised his cigarette at his eldest son.

”Oh my, now you ’re telling me what to do? This street is bustling with people.
What ’s not safe about it? ”

Taking advantage of their argument, Li Huowang had already led the others forward.

After walking for half an incense stick ’s worth of time, they finally arrived at an inn with the word ”alcohol ” hanging at the entrance.

In an old bedroom, Li Huowang put the things he had on the table and let out a sigh of relief.

Two swords, ”Dachenglu, ” the stone tablet of the Heavenly Book, and even instruments of torture, these things added up to quite a weight.

He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of water.
But as he drank, his brow furrowed.

Bai Lingmiao, who was tidying the bed, saw this and walked over.
”What ’s wrong? ”

”Try it.
Does the water taste strange? ” Li Huowang handed her the cup.

Holding the cup with both hands, Bai Lingmiao took a sip and nodded in surprise.
”It really does have an earthy smell. ”

”I thought I was just being too sensitive, but it seems like it ’s not just me.
The water quality in Houshu is not good. ”

Li Huowang walked to the window and propped up the paper window with a wooden stick.
”Tomorrow, have everyone scatter and ask about the situation in Houshu.
It would be best to find a detailed map so we don ’t get lost. ”

”Okay, I ’ll listen to you. ” Bai Lingmiao finished tidying the sheets and reached out to remove Li Huowang ’s Daoist robe.

”When we were leading the horse, I saw a well nearby.
Since we have time now, I ’ll go wash our clothes. ”

”Oh, right, Li senior, I remember there was a deceased Daoist disciple whose family is in this town.
Should we deliver the ashes? ”

Li Huowang ’s heart skipped a beat.
He had indeed heard about this before.

”Who ’s keeping the ashes? I ’ll go deliver them. ”

”Now? It ’s so late, why don ’t we rest and go tomorrow? ”

In the end, Li Huowang carried the ashes, along with mantou and Yang Xiaohai, out of the inn.
He didn ’t want to drag this small matter out any longer.The reason why he brought Yang Xiaohai with him was because he played well with the deceased Taoist, and he knew where the person ’s family lived.

Of course, there was also an unspoken meaning behind it, which was to prevent Li Huowang from going crazy on the way and having no one to take care of him.

Li Huowang needed someone by his side now, and with Yang Xiaohai there, he could come back and inform others in time.

Yang Xiaohai, holding the urn, told Li Huowang the story of the deceased Taoist.

”When we were at Qingfeng Temple, we called her Mao Chuiniu because she liked to brag.
She said her family was bigger than the entire Qingfeng Temple, and they had over a hundred sheep at home. ”

”She also said that she was the only daughter in her family and her parents loved her the most.
Her father would kill as many sheep as she wanted to eat. ”

Li Huowang looked at the urn in surprise.
”The Taoist was a girl? ”

”Yes, Senior Li, don ’t you remember? ”

Li Huowang shook his head.
These Taoists didn ’t occupy much space in his heart, and he didn ’t pay much attention to these hardworking children.

”Hey…
it ’s also pitiful.
She escaped from Qingfeng Temple, but ended up drowning. ” Li Huowang suddenly felt a wave of regret.

”This kind of thing coming from your mouth, don ’t you feel sick? What right do you have to say that? Do you know how many people you have killed with your own hands? ”

Jiang Yingzi ’s words made Li Huowang extremely annoyed.
”Shut up! ”

This frightened Yang Xiaohai, who was not used to Li Huowang ’s occasional self-talk, although others had seen it many times before.

Li Huowang ’s face became ugly, and he stopped talking, burying his head and walking forward.

Although Li Huowang tried to ignore these illusions as much as possible, it was not an easy thing to do.

They walked farther and farther away, gradually heading towards the edge of this desert town.

The sky had become much darker, and there were fewer people on the road.
Most of them were hurrying on their way.

Just as Li Huowang was about to ask whether Yang Xiaohai was from here, a joyful shout came from behind.

”Taoist! Taoist!! It ’s me! ”

Li Huowang instinctively turned his head and was pleasantly surprised when he saw the person calling out.

It was the old monk who had stayed at Zhengde Temple before.

Compared to his clean appearance in the temple before, he now looked like a messy old man.

”Monk, what are you doing here? Aren ’t you supposed to be at Zhengde Temple? ”

As soon as he heard this, the monk couldn ’t help but complain.
”Don ’t mention it.
I ’m almost suffocating in the temple.
Not only can I not do good deeds, but they also make me carry Buddhist scriptures. ”

”I can ’t stand it anymore, so I just came out.
By the way, where are you going? ”

”To…
deliver something.
Let ’s go together.
Did the monks at Zhengde Temple give you a hard time when you left? ”

”Why would they give me a hard time? Not only did they not give me a hard time, they even gave me some money.
The monks are all good people, there are no bad people. ”

”Heh. ” Li Huowang smiled and didn ’t bother to argue.

Encountering an old acquaintance in a foreign land made Li Huowang ’s mood unusually good.
It was always so simple to get along with innocent people, and Li Huowang chatted with the monk all the way.
He deliberately brought up some past experiences, and the other party was able to respond to them.Just as he was getting excited about the conversation, Yang Xiaohai ’s voice brought him back to reality.
”Senior Brother Li…
we ’ve arrived. ”
