Looking at the hanging man so close at hand, Li Huowang almost subconsciously drew his sword.
The moment he was about to exert his strength, he stopped abruptly.
Because Li Huowang realized that this thing was not looking at him. It was a dead thing! The rope son was not it!
Li Huowang's eyes moved upward slightly, looking at the very blurry pool above his head, with only a rough outline of something.
Thinking back to the previous trembling sound, he thought to himself: "The hanging ghost is just a part of it! Maybe just one of its fingers! That big guy in the darkness is the son of the rope!"
Judging from the fact that it didn't attack them immediately, it was obvious that the Taoist's spell had an effect.
After he figured it out, Li Huowang held his breath and looked at the female corpse in front of him again.
The clothes on the female corpse in front of him were red, and in this dark environment, they turned into a strange black-red color.
Judging from the wrinkles that almost cover her facial features and gray hair, she is an old man.
The old woman just hung in mid-air, staring motionlessly at Li Huowang with her yellow and dry eyes.
Soon half the stick of incense passed, and Li Huowang guessed correctly. When he didn't move, the female corpse didn't make any move, hanging there like a puppet.
In the darkness, everyone present froze on the spot. If it weren't for the slight white air that proved that they were all alive, everyone at this time would be no different from a stone sculpture.
At this moment, Li Huowang experienced for the first time what it was like to live like a year. His limbs were sore and numb.
In this state, I don't know how long passed. Accompanied by the creaking sound of the rope sinking into the flesh, the hanged ghost slowly rose up and gradually left Li Huowang's sight.
Li Huowang's eyes slowly followed it away, watching as it finally merged with the extremely blurry giant thing in the darkness.
Li Huowang still doesn't know what this female corpse means to Shengzi, whether it is a part of her body or a decoration. "Shengzi? Why can this thing be called Shengzi?"
The trembling voice before moved again, but this time it was no longer approaching but gradually moving away.
Time passed little by little, and as the trembling voice gradually faded away, the depressing feeling finally disappeared.
"Coax~" The firelight illuminated the pale faces of Li Huowang and others. It was a yellow talisman ignited by the flames, and the lower end of the talisman was sandwiched between the two hands of the previous Taoist.
He first glanced at the exposed ribs on Li Huowang's chest, and then said with a smile: "This monk, let your son go, we are safe."
When the bright light of the fluorescent stone illuminated other people's faces, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The others looked at the Taoist priest, and their expressions seemed a little gentler than before. The shared adversity just now made their relationship much closer.
When he saw that the other party was surprised by their weird appearance, Li Huowang had to explain.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Han Fu, a disciple of Luo Jiao, has seen the monk." The thin Taoist priest saluted Li Huowang and showed his rotten teeth again.
Yellow and black rotten teeth were spread out in all directions, and the roots of the teeth were tightly wrapped with yellow tartar. The strong bad breath that spread from the gaps between the teeth made others quietly take a few steps back.
This man's mouth smells very bad, not just ordinary, it smells worse than a latrine.
Although it seems that this person's hygiene is not good enough, after passing Anci'an before, Li Huowang did not have any objection to this person's rotten teeth.
As for whether his teeth smell bad or smell good, Li Huowang is more concerned about the identity of his family that he just announced.
"Luo Jiao? What kind of religion is this? Is it a branch of Taoism?"
Li Huowang did not ask this question directly, which was easy to miss, but also saluted the man. "Qingfeng Guan Xuanyang, nice to meet you."
Since the other party can communicate and seems to have no ill intentions, you may be able to find a way out from him.
"Oh? Are you also a Taoist disciple? That's rare. Seeing how skinny you are, I thought you were a Nestorian monk." Prisoner Han seemed particularly talkative.
"I was indeed a disciple of the Nestorian Cult in the past, but I recently left for some reason." After making up a random reason, Li Huowang thought to himself as he looked at Han Fu in front of him.
"Where is the person he just talked to? He was hung up by a rope? But why is he not sad at all? No, I can't ask him directly, otherwise he will definitely know that I was eavesdropping on their conversation just now."
p>
Li Huowang didn't bother to worry about another stranger. He pointed with his finger at Hei Taisui who was wrapped in his own skin behind him.
"Master asked us brothers to come here to look for medicine, but we happened to get lost and happened to meet a fellow Taoist. It's also a blessing for us. I hope that Brother Han will take the trouble to take us out of this world."
Li Huowang's words not only confessed his purpose, but also implicitly stated that there was someone behind him, so that the other party should not mess with their ideas.
When Li Huowang looked at Han Fu, Han Fu also looked at Li Huowang, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.
Finally, after the copper coin mask on Li Huowang's face paused for a moment, he said with a smile: "Okay, no need to be polite, you are all practicing Taoism, so let's go, I will take you out. You can't walk around here, be careful not to walk too far,
The physical body is gone."
Li Huowang raised his feet and followed Han Fu into the darkness. After thinking for a moment, Li Huowang asked: "Fellow Daoist Han, what kind of evil spirit was that thing just now? I have never seen it before."
It's hard to find someone who knows the business, so Li Huowang must seize the opportunity and learn as much as possible. Without a master to teach him, he can only rely on this method.
Han Fu seemed very carefree. When Li Huowang asked, he immediately started to answer.
"That's a rope son. Some people are old and have no children to take care of them, or if their children are unfilial, they can come to it and let it help you take care of you until you die."
Hearing this, Li Huowang immediately thought of the female corpse from before, and said with some surprise: "Is that thing really going to help people care for themselves until they die?"
"Hey, do you think other people are stupid? This is all self-deception. Anyone who is not blind can see it. That kind of thing cannot help people provide for themselves in old age."
"But old man~ I have no use anyway, I can't do anything, I can't plow the fields, I just waste food, so the time is almost up, so the neighbors will pick an auspicious day, beat the gongs and drums, carry the sedan, and
The old man gave the rope to his son."
"As for the house and property left behind by the old man~ Haha, of course everyone should divide the matter together."
At this time, Gouwa next to him interrupted, "I know this. In our village, this is called eating out households."
"Yes, yes, yes! This means being exterminated, but it sounds awful to be exterminated. Wouldn't it be much nicer to give it to my son to take care of him until he is old and die?"
Hearing Han Fu's sarcastic words made Li Huowang feel angry, and he felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He wanted to vent it but didn't know how.
