Chapter 62 Night Talk

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "Is there anyone there?" Li Huowang's shouts continued to echo in the extremely empty environment.

Very confused, he looked around and found that he was standing on a wooden bridge, with nothing but darkness in front, back, left and right.

Li Huowang took a deep breath, raised his feet and continued walking forward. The wooden bridge beneath him creaked under his feet.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he felt something moving in the distance. Li Huowang was shocked and rushed towards that direction.

But when he got closer and finally saw clearly what that thing looked like, his body suddenly stopped with a shock. It was Li Zhi's Baojiaxian.

The previously palm-sized clay sculpture became three times larger than Li Huowang's body. With the sound of stones rubbing against each other, it slowly turned its head to look at Li Huowang. Its pupils were not black at all, but were white and scary.

"This is not a wooden bridge! I am standing on someone else's roof beam!" Li Huowang reacted immediately.

There was a creaking sound, and the several layers of red-headed rope on Baojiaxian's body split open, and the densely packed clay palms stretched out from the inside, grabbing at Li Huowang while dripping dust.

Li Huowang turned around and was about to retreat when a huge red hijab instantly covered his body, completely covering his body.

"Don't look..." An extremely thin and ethereal female voice sounded.

"Hoo!" Li Huowang suddenly woke up in a cold sweat. He quickly looked around and found that there was no Baojiaxian or any red hijab. It was just a dream of his.

Looking down at Bai Lingmiao beside him, Li Huowang pulled the quilt to cover her shoulders, turned around and got out of bed, opened the window and looked outside.

The moon is still hanging in the sky, and it seems that I haven't slept for too long.

Looking at the black tiles outside, Li Huowang recalled what happened yesterday.

The second god wearing a red hijab obviously seemed to want to say something to himself, but was inadvertently interrupted by Li Zhi.

"What on earth did she want to say? Why didn't you let me see Baojiaxian?" Li Huowang, frowning, was thinking about this question.

This second god has always been silent, neither eating nor drinking. Compared with the unusually easy-going Li Zhi, she seems very mysterious.

If a person like this suddenly speaks to me, it must have some special meaning.

"What could she have that she needs to tell me secretly, and not let Li Zhi know about it? Li Zhi wants to harm me?"

He originally planned to ask Li Zhi to try the dance master, but something like this suddenly happened, and Li Huowang was a little hesitant. Speaking of which, they didn't know each other well.

He thought about finding other dancing masters, but even if he found other dancing masters, there was no guarantee that other dancing masters would be more trustworthy.

Since you are looking for it, it is better to find someone familiar.

"I'll ask the two gods alone what's going on." Li Huowang secretly made up his mind.

Li Huowang glanced at the dark sky again, turned around, put on his blood-red robe and walked outside the house. The bungalows of Li Zhi's fellow villagers were not far apart, and Li Zhi and the others lived nearby.

In the dark room, Li Huowang walked silently towards Li Zhi's residence.

"Creak~" The door next to Daofu was slowly opened, and a small fluorescent stone flicked in.

Dim fluorescent light illuminated the room, and the great god Li Zhi was seen lying on the bed with his back stretched out and snoring, while the two gods with their red headscarves were standing upright beside the bed like a piece of clothing.

Hearing the movement, the two gods quietly turned their red headscarves to Li Huowang. They stood there as if waiting for something.

Seeing this scene in front of me at night, it’s really shocking to be honest.

"Do I really want to go out and be alone with this thing now?" Li Huowang was a little hesitant at this moment.

But when he thought of what she said to him, Li Huowang finally made up his mind and moved gently with his hand.

The two gods actually moved, and she slowly floated toward the door like a ghost.

As she walked out, Li Huowang stepped back, advancing and retreating, and finally stopped outside the yard.

The hazy moonlight cast by the half-moon in the sky slightly soothed Li Huowang's extremely nervous mood.

The two gods, covered with red hijabs, slowly came closer again, very close. So close that Li Huowang's words could make the red hijab shake slightly. "What did you want to say yesterday?"

The extremely long black nails slowly lifted up, and in Li Huowang's surprised eyes, he gently scratched the fingertip of his other hand.

Then, she used the dark red blood flowing out of it to slowly write on her red hijab.

"When...Xin...you...are...Xin...Su...xian..."

"What are you doing!" There was a loud scolding, and the black blood on the red hijab was quickly absorbed.

Just as Li Huowang took two steps back, he saw Li Zhi, who had a gloomy expression, walking to Ershen with his bare feet and hugged her tightly around the waist. "What do you want to do? This is my wife!!



Li Huowang heard the noise coming from the other side of the house, thought quickly and said, "I didn't do anything, I was just curious about my sister-in-law's face."

Li Zhi, who looked wary, looked Li Huowang up and down, and as if to declare his sovereignty, he opened the corner of the red hijab with his hand, put his head in and kissed him.

As the red hijab swayed, Li Huowang vaguely saw something under the moonlight.

"Those are...scales?"

Then Li Zhi ducked his head back from under the red hijab and licked the yellow and green mucus at the corner of his mouth.

"Remember! This is my wife. Who can you blame for being a bachelor? It's not your own fault. Who asked you to become a Taoist priest! If you have the ability, you can return to the world!"

After saying that, without waiting for Li Huowang to defend himself, he took Er Shen's pale hand with long black nails, turned around and walked towards the house.

Scales and yellow-green mucus, these two images kept flashing through his mind. What on earth are these two gods?

When Li Huowang, who was puzzled, returned to the house, he found that Bai Lingmiao had been woken up, kneeling on the bed and rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Huowang said nothing and blew out the lighted oil lamp again, "It's nothing, go to sleep."

"Be careful? I am Xin Suxian?"

Li Huowang, who was lying on the bed, began to think about what the two gods had just said. "What is Xin Suxian? What should people be careful about about her?"

The next day, when Li Huowang woke up and came to the lobby, he saw Li Zhi drinking porridge.

He held Ershen firmly with his right hand and was talking to his fellow countryman.

"Fellow, thank you for taking care of me. Why don't I hire a guardian for you? It'll be cheaper for you. How about thirty coppers?"

Li Zhi stopped talking at this point because he saw Li Huowang, and his expression was no longer as easy-going as before.
