"What do you want to be called?" Li Huowang looked at the mud dog wagging its tail in front of him.

After a few days of taking care of it, it was still very thin, but at least all the ticks that had been sucking its blood had been removed from its ears.

Both ears were bitten and looked bloody, and even with Li Huowang's healing medicine, it would take some time to heal.

"Woo~" The mud dog sitting on the ground looked at Li Huowang with a puzzled expression.

After being cautious, it lowered its head and nuzzled its thin head into Li Huowang's hand, trying to get him to pet it.

Li Huowang gently patted its head, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

A few nights ago, he thought there was something wrong with the dog, but after his hallucinations, Li Huowang realized he was wrong.

If it really had ill intentions, it would have attacked him while he was in a hallucination.

For now, it seemed to be just a dog, a very ordinary dog, although he still didn't know where it came from.

Li Huowang took out a steamed bun from his package and threw it over, watching as the excited dog pounced on it to tear it apart.

"Since you like to eat steamed buns so much, I'll call you Mantou from now on." Li Huowang quickly decided on the dog's name.

"Woof woof!" Mantou jumped up excitedly, as if responding to Li Huowang's words.

He used his right hand, which had grown a little bit of nail root, to gently stroke the fur on its neck.

"Since you and I are both homeless, you can follow me. It's convenient to have a dog by my side. You can help me keep watch at night and keep me company during the day."

"When I have an episode, you may not be able to help much, but it's better than nothing."

"Of course, my main goal is to see if I will harm others while in a hallucination. You're my first test subject."

After Li Huowang finished speaking, Mantou had already finished eating. It kept licking its mouth and looking at Li Huowang expectantly.

"I guess you don't understand what I'm saying. Let's go, we're almost there." Li Huowang patted Mantou's head again and stood up, looking towards the distant mountains, his destination.

The brief and easy moment of contact with the dog disappeared, and Li Huowang's expression gradually became gloomy as he thought of the information about the Ao Jing religion that the nuns had mentioned.

The abbess said they might have a way to deal with Danyang Zi, but they were equally dangerous, as evidenced by the "Dachian Lu."

This very passive feeling was not good, but Li Huowang had no choice now but to either try to trust them or wait to die.

"Let's go." The Taoist in a red robe led a yellow dog towards the distant mountains.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain can exhaust a horse to death, and Li Huowang experienced it firsthand this time.

After two full days of walking with the dog, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.The last thing standing in front of him was a town, a town that had long been dead.

Collapsed houses, split corpses, and everything covered by spider webs. All the signs indicated that this town had experienced a fatal disaster.

Looking at a half corpse blocking a small skeleton on the roadside, Li Huowang's face showed strong disgust.

The person who could slaughter a town like this had no humanity left, and his temperament was probably worse than Danyang Zi's.

Slowly passing through the town, a thought popped into Li Huowang's mind, "Could it have been the people of the Ao Jing Sect who did this?"

Li Huowang's feelings towards the sect he had not yet met began to change.

After walking for a long time, no living person was found in the desolate town, and the only living creature on the ground was a rat gnawing on something in the corner.

Seeing Li Huowang approaching with a dog, these dusty big rats panicked and ran away.

Since everyone was dead, Li Huowang couldn't do anything. He couldn't even ensure his own safety. He started to speed up and quickly passed through the dead town.

Passing through this depressing town, a winding mountain road appeared in front of Li Huowang.

The mountain path twisted like a long snake and climbed up the mountain. This was the only way to enter the mountain nearby, where the Ao Jing Sect should be.

Looking down at the steamed bun sticking out its tongue at his feet, Li Huowang lightly kicked its belly and began to climb the mountain.

Looking at the sparse and withered trees on the mountain, Li Huowang gradually became alert. No one could guarantee how the other side would react after seeing his true intentions.

"Woof woof!" Suddenly, the steamed bun barked towards the right side of the woods.

At the first moment, Li Huowang pressed his hand on the "Daqian Record."

"A swoosh~" A lynx quickly ran across the mountain road to the other side.

Before Li Huowang could catch his breath, he vaguely saw something in the woods where the lynx ran into.

With caution, Li Huowang slowly walked in, and several collapsed temples appeared in front of him.

"Is this the Cross Temple of the Ao Jing Sect?" Li Huowang murmured as he looked at the mark on the temple.

It was not any kind of cross he had seen before. This cross was more like a skinny black lucky leaf, and it had to be in a state of thirst, withering and twisting.

Looking at the overgrown temple, Li Huowang suddenly had a strong feeling of foreboding.

If there was anything that was harder for Li Huowang to accept than being directly attacked by the Ao Jing Sect upon meeting, it was that they had already been wiped out.

"Could it be that so many people who died in the town were not killed by the Ao Jing Sect? Did they also suffer from the attack of that thing?"

With a very gloomy expression, Li Huowang continued to walk forward with his dog, concentrating more on checking the hidden places in the surrounding woods.As expected, Li Huowang soon discovered another stronghold of the Cross Temple, and this time he saw the god worshipped by the Nestorian Church.

On the altar, there was a large black cross, and sitting on top of it was a blackened sculpture wrapped in flames.

The sculpture was very detailed, with the swaying of the flames, the sticky flesh that had been roasted, and the curly hair that had been burned, all carved in stone to be lifelike.

However, Li Huowang did not see the head of the god, as everything above the neck was shattered.

"What did the Nestorian Church do to provoke something like this?" Li Huowang thought uneasily.

They dared to confront the nuns of An Ci An and still exist peacefully, which proved the strength of the Nestorian Church.

In addition, Li Huowang already knew the power of the "Da Qian Lu". It was really hard for him to imagine what kind of existence could destroy the Cross Temple of the Nestorian Church.

At this moment, Li Huowang suddenly discovered something and wiped away the spider webs under the altar with his hand. A line of words appeared in front of him.

"The Undying Bull God is called Xuan Pin. The Gate of Xuan Pin is the root of heaven and earth. When things are mixed together, heaven and earth are born."

Li Huowang raised his head again and looked at the headless statue sitting on the cross. "Is he the Bull God?"
