Chapter 25 The Path in the Woods

"Qiang~" The long sword collided with the heavenly book and made an extremely harsh friction sound, causing other people in the room to subconsciously cover their ears and take two steps back.

"It didn't even make a mark. Chang Ming's sword won't work. Isn't he a swordsman? This sword shouldn't be of ordinary quality." Li Huowang held up the sword and thought for a few seconds before grabbing it with both hands.

The handle was rounded and chopped down again.

Gritting his teeth and slashing several times, the situation finally changed, but this change did not come from the so-called heavenly book, but from the long sword in Li Huowang's hand.

With a "clang~" sound, the sword blade split into two from the impact point, and the good long sword turned into a broken sword.

Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Li Huowang was a little confused. The weapon he had just obtained was gone.

Looking around, Li Huowang took a few steps quickly and snatched the sword from the dead Chang Ren. "Fortunately, I have a spare one."

"Sa—" The long sword was sheathed, and Li Huowang was thinking about what to do next around Tianshu.

He originally planned to destroy this so-called Heavenly Book, but now it seems that this Heavenly Book really has something to offer, and it is hard to say that it is not a treasure.

Now that I have made up my mind not to give up on myself, it is natural that such a valuable thing cannot be thrown away casually. "No matter what, just take it first. If it doesn't work, you can take it to a pawn shop to exchange for some money."

As for the unrealistic idea of ​​becoming an immortal by relying on this thing, Li Huowang completely gave up. He had seen the fate of those who tried before, and he didn't want to be the next one.

Li Huowang struggled to pick it up and weigh it. The weight of the stone slab was much heavier than he imagined, but it was within the bearable range.

After wrapping the stone slab with cloth and carrying it on his back, he said to the others waiting aside: "Let's get out of here."

The lamp oil was thrown into the smelly cave of Danyangzi, and the flames spread along the ground, igniting everything in the house that could be ignited, including Changming Changren and Xuanyuan on the ground.

The fire was so strong that Li Huowang realized that human corpses are natural burning materials when he saw the scene in front of him.

As they walked back along the original path, they gradually lit all the rooms on fire. The hot flames swayed and gradually began to unite, burning everything that could be burned in Qingfeng Temple and blackening everything that could not be burned.

"Cough cough~" The thick smoke began to make others cough, and everyone began to walk faster.

After the three pillars of incense were burned, everyone stood in the sun and silently looked at the entrance of Qingfeng View Cave where thick smoke was blowing out.

Thick smoke billowed and swayed upwards, wrapping all the darkness and evil in Qingfeng Temple and disappearing into the bright sky.

Li Huowang raised his head and smiled again. Carrying the long sword and the stone slab on his back, he turned and walked towards the forest path in the distance. "Let's go."

Others carrying food on their backs followed one after another, and before they knew it, Li Huowang had become their leader.

Looking at the approaching forest path in the distance, Li Huowang's mood was no longer depressed.

"Ah, this place looks very strange. I don't know what kind of people or things I will meet in the future. I am suddenly very excited."

The sun shone on his face and he breathed in the fresh air, and his mood began to change for the better.

"Senior Brother Li, please slow down, my eyes hurt."

Li Huowang turned his head and looked around, only to realize that Bai Lingmiao was covering his eyes in the sunshine.

He walked over, held her face and observed it carefully. He was surprised to find that he could see the blood vessels behind the eyeballs from the center of the pupils of her eyes. The pink color was the color of the dark red blood vessels illuminated by light.

"This...should be some kind of flaw, right?" Li Huowang guessed in his mind.

He is not a medical practitioner and does not understand these things, but he can guess a little, because Li Huowang remembers that most of the elderly albinos who receive fortune telling massages are blind.

It seems that Bai Lingmiao's disease will cause defects in the eyes, which are much more fragile than ordinary people's eyes.

This was not going to work. Li Huowang cut a strip of cloth from the hem of his green Taoist robe and gently covered Bai Lingmiao's eyes. "From now on, whenever the sun rises, you will cover it."

"But... I won't be able to see it this way."

"It's okay, I'll hold you." Li Huowang grabbed Bai Lingmiao's soft right hand and led the others towards the forest.

After Bai Lingmiao staggered a few times, she started to trot along with Li Huowang.

"Duoduoduo~" Lu Zhuangyuan, who had a wrinkled face, took his dry tobacco pipe and banged it hard on the theater box.

After knocking out all the black tobacco stuck inside, he took out new tobacco from the tobacco bag, put it in, and lit it with a fire box.

After taking a nice puff, he shouted to the forest in the direction of the horse's head: "Xiwazi, are you feeling better?"

"Come on, come on!" came a young boy's response from the other side.

"A lazy donkey poops and urinates a lot. He takes so long to poop. Those who don't know think I'm treating you badly by letting you eat Guanyin soil." Lu Zhuangyuan was smoking a dry cigarette while arranging for his youngest son with dissatisfaction.

His eyes moved to the back of the car and looked at his entire troupe on the forest path. Except for a carriage pulling boxes with costumes and musical instruments,

There are also his eldest son's family of three, and two distant nephews he brought from the village. Although the team is small, these are all the assets he has managed to save over the years.

It is only by relying on this small troupe that my family can have enough to eat during this difficult time.

"Dad, drink water and eat steamed buns." Lu Juren handed the food and water hyacinth to his father.

"You can eat what you want, and what you can eat before dinner time! Are you picking up food for free? Do you know what the price of food is now? Your daughter is already two years old, and she still thinks you are a little baby! Why are you so ignorant!"

Even though he was scolded, Lu Juren was not angry. He smiled and stepped back, asking his wife to put away the things in his hands.

"What's going on? Are you getting scolded again? You're such a mean person, so you're looking for scolding." Luo Juanhua put the food back in the car and teased her precious daughter sitting on the box with her fingers.

"If you scold me twice, you won't lose a piece of meat. Just scold me. Ever since my mother died, my father's temper has been like this."

"Hey, boss, have you told dad what I told you last night?"

"Let's talk about it after some time. I haven't been there recently, and dad is on a tight budget." When this topic was brought up, Lu Juren's face turned bitter.

"Tsk! You are so tight that you don't even have the money to buy cloth for your granddaughter to make clothes? All she wears now are costumes."

"Costumes...actually can..."

"Ahhh! Ghost!!!" A frightened scream interrupted the conversation between the two couples, and the atmosphere in the entire troupe suddenly became tense.

Not long after, others saw a naked young man rushing out of the forest, crying for his father and mother, and threw himself into Lu Zhuangyuan's arms.

"What the hell! Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight! Put your pants on quickly!"

Although Lu Zhuangyuan reprimanded his youngest son, he still blocked Lu Xiucai behind him, clenched the cigarette rod in his hand, and looked warily in the direction of Lin Zi.

The figures inside were shaking, and it looked like someone was coming.
