The wheels of the donkey cart kept turning, and the bearings kept making harsh and unpleasant sounds.
"Dog, put some sesame oil on the wheel."
Li Huowang, who was lying on the donkey cart, said with difficulty. At this time, his neck had just been sewn up with an embroidery needle by Bai Lingmiao and covered with gold sore medicine. Now he could not sit up.
After a while, the creaking subsided a lot, and Li Huowang looked at the sky blankly, thinking about what happened a few nights ago.
The previous troubles at Zhengde Temple have been solved, but the troubles on my own body have just begun.
In his own opinion, it was Danyangzi who became an immortal and killed those Buddhas.
But in the eyes of others, it was he who looked ferocious and terrifying, who pounced on him, got into the Buddha's body and ate them alive.
A world cannot have two perspectives, so one of the things you see and what they see must be false.
Li Huowang turned his head and looked aside. Bai Lingmiao, whose eyes were wrapped in cloth, held his hand tightly and refused to let go for a moment.
With his eyes retracted, Li Huowang looked again at the white clouds in the sky, with a wry smile on his face.
To be honest, because of his condition, even Li Huowang doesn't believe in himself now.
Coupled with his bulging belly and the blood on his face, everything showed that it was really him who did the trick, not Danyangzi.
"Is Danyangzi really dead? Is everything just a figment of my imagination?"
As soon as this idea appeared, Li Huowang quickly overturned it.
"It's impossible for me to get sick alone to easily deal with those huge Buddhas. In the final analysis, it's still Danyangzi."
"No matter what he has become now, the key is that he is still there, still staring at me." Li Huowang was very sure of this.
"It's just that I always thought that it was him who became an immortal and descended to earth in person. Now it seems that he is actually possessing my body and acting."
"I previously assumed that Danyangzi was protecting me, and this conjecture has been confirmed. However, based on my understanding of Danyangzi, it is absolutely impossible for a person like him to help me out of goodwill. He definitely helped me for other purposes."
Thinking of the strangeness he felt that night, Li Huowang had a vague guess in his mind. He stretched out his fingers and scratched the soft palm.
"Do you think my temper has gotten worse since I came out of Qingfeng Temple?"
"No, why would Senior Brother Li ask that?"
Li Huowang gently touched the back of her hand with his fingers, and did not explain anything. He just said silently in his heart: "Why do you ask, because I'm worried that Danyangzi is not holding back this shit!"
Although others didn't say it, Li Huowang himself felt that there had been a change in his behavior.
"Does that old guy Danyangzi want to be resurrected through my body? So he protects me because he is also protecting his own body?" This terrifying suspicion that made Li Huowang break out in a cold sweat exploded in his mind.
But he soon calmed down and realized that this was just a guess.
Danyangzi must be dealt with, but the goal is easy to set, and how to do it is the key.
Li Huowang felt very confused about this. Everything in this world would not be clearly marked like in the game. Everything was unfamiliar and he had to find it by himself.
After experiencing the turmoil in Zhengde Temple, Li Huowang no longer dared to have any contact with other sects here. After all, even the most benign monk temple has become so terrifying. God knows what has become of other places.
However, after thinking about it, Li Huowang realized that if he wanted to live in this ghost place, he still couldn't avoid them.
While Li Huowang was thinking about these things, the donkey cart stopped slowly, and the sound of running water came from the side.
"Senior Brother Li, let me wash your clothes for you." After Bai Lingmiao said that, he gently pulled out his hand, picked up the bloody clothes on the donkey cart and walked towards the creek beside him.
The others were not idle either, and tacitly began to go to the woods to find firewood and start making a fire for cooking.
Now Li Huowang couldn't sit up, so he could only rely on his voice to judge everything happening around him.
Not long after, the aroma of cooked food wafted over, and Li Huowang's stomach growled. His injured body was in desperate need of food.
"Brother, let me feed you." Li Huowang felt himself being lifted up and leaning on the furry arms.
Li Huowang already knew the name of this woman who was covered in black hair and looked like a chimpanzee. Her name was Chun Xiaoman.
This name is very easy to understand, because she was born on the same day as Xiaoman, so she was called Xiaoman. Farmers just choose names for girls so casually.
Xiaoman scooped up the horse meat soup with a wooden spoon and brought it to Li Huowang's mouth.
One person fed the other person silently. After what happened, Li Huowang found that others seemed to be more afraid of him.
Li Huowang could understand their fear. After all, staying with a man-eating monster would make anyone feel scared.
After they were almost done eating, Li Huowang whispered to Xiaoman: "Let Bai Lingmiao come back. If you really can't wash it clean, don't wash it."
"Okay." Xiao Man gently put Li Huowang down and put the Book of Heaven under his head as a pillow.
Not long after, Bai Lingmiao came back, and the blood-colored robe in her hand did not return to its original green color.
"Put it on the donkey's back to bask in the sun. Hurry up and eat. The food is getting cold."
"Yes." Bai Lingmiao responded softly, knelt down, and after carefully observing Li Huowang's wounds for a while, she walked towards the bonfire.
"Da da da da" the familiar sound of horse hooves sounded from a distance.
He arrived before anyone could make a sound. "Ouch! Little Dao Master! So you are here! I thought I would never see you again!"
When Lu Zhuangyuan's old wrinkled face appeared in front of him, Li Huowang knew that the Lu family class was coming.
"Oh, what are you, what are you..." He saw Li Huowang's miserable condition.
"It's nothing, I just encountered some minor troubles on the road. What can I do for you?"
"Little Taoist Master, why did you leave without leaving a word? Didn't we agree to leave together? Fortunately, you said you wanted to leave seclusion before, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to find you." Lu Zhuangyuan apologized.
Said with a smile.
After finally finding a free escort, you can't throw it away so easily.
"I'm sorry, Leader Lu. I'm injured, so I won't talk about old times. I can do it myself."
"Hey, hey, you lie down, you lie down." Lu Zhuangyuan didn't ask any questions. After traveling all over the country for so many years, he certainly understood that the more he knew, the more dangerous he was.
Seeing that the sky was about to set, the two groups of people did not intend to leave. After all, there was a small river next to them, which was very convenient for washing and drinking water.
Unable to sleep, Li Huowang silently looked at the stars in the sky and thought about the things that happened during the day.
Suddenly, there was some movement from the right side of his body.
Before Li Huowang could react, a soft and small body lay silently and shivering in his arms.
Smelling the familiar fragrance, Li Huowang stretched out his right hand and patted the back, "It's okay, leave everything to me, leave everything to me."
