"Senior Brother Li, who is Wang Wei?" Hearing Li Huowang talking to himself, Bai Lingmiao couldn't help but ask.
Li Huowang shook his head indifferently. "He's no one, doesn't exist."
With Bai Lingmiao's help, Li Huowang led the others back gradually.
Compared to coming in, the way back seemed less torturous.
After all, no one died, and they even found the Black Tai Sui. Everyone was walking with light steps.
"Senior Brother Li, can we take a rest at Lao Sun's place instead of rushing back? I want to eat some lamb again. We came all the way here, and at least we deserve half a year of longevity," said Gou Wa, looking at Li Huowang with a bitter melon face.
Li Huowang nodded. "Sure, thank you all for your help on this trip. It's only natural to take a break."
After all, people are not made of iron, and he should consider the others' endurance.
Upon hearing this, Gou Wa clenched his fists excitedly, and the thought of delicious lamb made his mouth water.
"Hey, Gou Wa, what are you holding?" Li Huowang saw some white hair fragments swaying with Gou Wa's fist.
Gou Wa raised his fist to Li Huowang and opened it. "Oh, these are the white hair fragments from those lions. I cut off a lot of them. Since it turned Sun Baolu into that, it must be something extraordinary."
"Maybe we can sell it for a good price in a big city. It can also cover our expenses. We spent a lot on this trip," Gou Wa suggested.
Li Huowang shook his head. "Since the lion dance is dead, this thing may not be useful. Why did you bring it back?"
Gou Wa heard this and nervously extended his little finger, gently scratching the white hair fragments.
Then he watched his fingernail flip to the fingertip position as he twisted it. The fingertip with the screw thread turned to the position of the fingernail.
"This... this... this..." Gou Wa looked at his reversed little finger, helpless, and looked at Li Huowang. "Senior Brother Li, it's reversed, it's reversed."
"What's the rush? It works the same way whether it's reversed or not. Don't sell this thing in a hurry. Instead, think about how to use it to kill enemies, like wrapping it around a needle and blowing it out with a thin tube," Li Huowang reminded.
Gou Wa's eyes lit up at Li Huowang's suggestion. "Ah! Yes! Senior Brother Li is indeed literate, much smarter than me."
At this point, he became excited. He had a supernatural power that could change people's bodies. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he could show off in front of that woman, and they would rush to marry him.
And he wouldn't have to be a sidekick anymore. He could help Li Huowang too.
Thinking of this, Gou Wa didn't care about his reversed little finger anymore. He quickly took off his shirt and carefully wrapped the white hair fragments in it.
While Gou Wa was thinking about his little plan, the others slowly stopped walking.
"Wait a minute, something's wrong. Why have we been walking for so long and still haven't reached the bronze tripod we saw before?" Li Huowang's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's hearts, extinguishing their joy and making some of the more timid ones shudder.Everyone looked around in confusion, trying to find any similarities to where they came from.
But what made them desperate was that the darkness around them was exactly the same.
"This place is not right! It can make us lost!" The previous ease was gone, replaced by anxiety and tension on everyone's faces.
"Don't panic! Look at the footprints! We follow the footprints!" Li Huowang's words made everyone immediately aim their glowing stones at the ground.
Seeing the clear footprints on the ground, everyone's panicked mood stabilized a bit.
"Let's go! We retreat and follow the footprints back."
Then everyone began to move according to Li Huowang's instructions, even if some of the footprints were not very clear.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".
The blood dripping from Li Huowang's body guided them back.
A quarter of an hour, half an hour passed, even though they didn't walk that long before.
But the lion dancing corpse still hadn't appeared, and the blood on the ground kept spreading into the darkness.
Sun Baolu, with a look of despair, looked at Li Huowang. "Senior Brother Li, we can't get out. This cave will eat us up."
In such a desperate situation, Li Huowang's face also became very ugly, but suddenly he looked puzzled.
"Hush~!" Li Huowang quickly lowered his body, closed his eyes, and listened carefully with a frown.
He began to move in this strange posture, slowly walking towards the east. "Put away the stones, there's someone... speaking."
The others followed suit. When darkness enveloped everyone, their hearts couldn't help but panic. They held onto each other to avoid getting lost.
"Where is the voice? Why can't I hear anything?" Gouwa said, but Li Huowang covered his mouth.
They walked side by side for almost the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Li Huowang suddenly stopped, and the others listened carefully but couldn't hear any voices.
However, a sharp old man's voice entered Li Huowang's ears. "Let me test you. What does it mean to be human?"
Then a childish girl's voice replied, "Humans are made of flesh, so flesh is human."
Li Huowang's brow gradually furrowed as he stopped and listened to the two beings in the darkness.
"Wrong! The physical body is just a skin."
"But Master said not to think too much, humans are made of flesh,"
"Don't believe our Master, the old man's words are all made up! It's all fake."
"Can you stop beating around the bush? If you're not going to say it, then don't say it. I'm annoyed!" The girl's voice became irritable.
The old man's voice became proud. "One is human, and human is one. Because everyone has this one, they can give birth to two, transform into the two aspects of life and death, then two becomes three, and extends to the later three corpses and seven emotions."
"Cultivation is to cultivate that one, so we must abandon the seven emotions, cut off the three corpses, and finally become that one!"
