Chapter 221: Baolu
"Senior Brother Li? Is there anything wrong with me?" Sun Baolu asked with caution in his voice.
Li Huowang raised his chin outside, pressed his crutch against his armpit again, and limped towards the other side. "Let's go, let's talk two."
Sun Baolu stood there nervously with a look of discomfort and hesitated for a while, and finally started raising his heels.
As night falls, the street between the tents outside becomes very dark and the figures become very scarce.
The biting cold wind blew up Li Huowang's hem and Sun Baolu's sleeves behind him.
At this moment, Sun Baolu's face looked a little ugly at this time, thinking about how to answer Senior Brother Li's question. He didn't expect that the other party would find out so quickly that the lies he said casually.
"Stop moji, I'm going to rush to the road tomorrow. Why do you say that human bone is a horse bone? How many things do you have to hide from us?"
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Baolu sighed lightly. "Senior Brother Li, I don't want to deliberately hide it from you. Junior Brother just thinks that since you are just passing by, there is no need to explain some of Qingqiu's customs too much. If you tell you, I'm afraid you will think about it."
"Splitting the man and feeding it to vultures, then breaking the bones and decorating it on yourself. Is this really just a custom? I don't think so."
The scene I saw this morning had a great impact on Li Huowang.
Hearing the suspicion in Li Huowang's voice, Li Huowang quickly defended: "Maybe in the eyes of others, this is indeed a bit shocking, but this is indeed a custom in Qingqiu. In addition to dying of illness, people in Qingqiu will have a sacrifice to heaven after they die."
"It is also a rotten thing to bury people in the soil. It is better to let the creatures in the sky take them away. This way, we can feed some people. We have long been accustomed to it."
"After all, no matter what, it will be determined by the Heaven of Eternal Life, and the cycle of rebirth of all living beings."
Li Huowang looked at Sun Baolu calmly in front of him, "Changshengtian? Is this the god believed in by the Qingqiu people? Where is He usually?"
This is the second time he has heard of this name.
Sun Baolu pointed his hand at the moon in the sky, "It's there. The Heaven of Changsheng cannot touch us or find us, but he always has what we desire."
"Hmm?" Li Huowang looked up and looked at the full moon with him.
"That is the navel of Changshengtian. The entire big black sky is the shadow of Changshengtian. The shadow projected under the illumination of two candles!"
"The whole night is His shadow? What about the daytime?" Li Huowang continued to ask.
"The sun during the day is the two candles held by Changshengtian's hand! Changshengtian is watching us silently behind the candles. We can live well and rely on Changshengtian."
Sun Baolu said it firmly, as if the words he said were the truth.
Hearing this, Li Huowang looked thoughtful.
The so-called five Buddha realms mentioned by the monks in Zhengde Temple, the Danuo in the Nuo opera before, the Bai Yujing he saw with his own eyes, and the so-called immortality in the mouth of Sun Baolu now.
In this world, everyone's eyes have a different worldview, and some even violate it.
Li Huowang saw some things with his own eyes, and there was no immortality at all, no great Nuo, and no five Buddha realms.
In his eyes, there was only a completely crazy world, whether it was the human beings living below or the existences that he could not imagine above, they were all tortured with the whole world.
Li Huowang should be very firm in repelling other completely irrelevant worldviews. But he tried hard to control his thoughts.
"Maybe what I see is an illusion, and what they say is true. After all, no matter how you compare, those worlds are far better than yourself, and you see crazy worlds."
When he saw Li Huowang standing there indifferently, Sun Baolu said bitterly: "Senior Brother Li, you definitely don't believe it?"
After pondering for a while, Li Huowang slowly spoke: "I believe it, what you said is reasonable, then what happened to them decorate their bones on themselves?"
"This is also the rule passed down by the Qingqiu people since ancient times. It is said that human bones can store people's courage and strength. Bringing it on your body can increase your strength and courage and ward off evil spirits."
"Only those powerful people are qualified to be snatched by others, and those unknown people are only worthy of being buried underground."
"Are your Qingqiu customs so evil?"
"It's not evil. Isn't this a normal thing?" Sun Baolu took it for granted when he said this.
After Sun Baolu explained Qingqiu's customs and myths to Li Huowang, it seemed that the horror scene he had encountered before seemed to have become reasonable.
However, Li Huowang looked at Sun Baolu in front of him with a hint of suspicion.
Sun Baolu felt this suspicion, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his face.
"Senior Brother Li, we are all brothers who escaped from Qingfeng Temple together. You have paid so much to get me home. No one can lie to you."
"I really have bad intentions in everything. Wouldn't you do it before you woke up? You are so powerful, if you can touch a finger, I will never fight you."
Li Huowang nodded, "What you said is indeed the case. Since you trust me so much, can you tell me why your clothes are tightly surrounded?"
There must be some story about Sun Baolu, but Li Huowang has never been able to inquire in the past. He now wants to know what Sun Baolu is hiding.
Sun Baolu's face changed suddenly, and he hugged his clothes tightly with both hands, and quickly took a few steps back with caution.
He didn't know why the other party suddenly got involved in this while chatting.
"What are you taboo? So what's wrong with showing it? We have all kinds of defects. Do you really think we will laugh at you because of the defects? No matter how bad are you, I am now?"
Sun Baolu showed extreme humiliation on his face, and his eyes were red and trembling, saying, "Senior Brother Li! I am really different from you! I beg you, if you force me again, I really have to die!"
Seeing the other party's reaction so much, Li Huowang came to him with crutches.
"You are leaving soon. I guess everyone will never meet again. If you are like this, you will still hide it?"
Sun Baolu took a deep breath and said vigorously: "Okay! I will tell you again after I get home, you are the only one! You promise not to tell me! Otherwise, I will die in front of you now!"
Seeing Sun Baolu's serious look, Li Huowang came to his senses. After all, the other party was not his enemy, but his companion, so there was no need to be so stiff.
Since being deceived by the Forgetful Talk, Li Huowang found that he had become too suspicious.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, I'll just ask."
Li Huowang, who believed what Sun Baolu said for the time being, walked into the tent inn with crutches.
Sun Baolu wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, walked over and helped the other person walk inside.
When he was about to arrive, Li Huowang's right ear moved slightly, and his head looked towards the dim street on the right, where the light was moving towards this side.
Li Huowang's feet, who was about to step into the tent, shrank back and stood back. "Wait, the light seems to be a little wrong, it's too divergent."
Gradually, as the light from the distance approached her face, Li Huowang's eyes widened.
"Baolu, didn't you say that Qingqiu has no evil spirits? Then tell me what this is?"
