The commotion caused by Li Huowang instantly woke up Cui Xian Gu.

"What happened? Didn't you just ask about the rice? Why are you getting so agitated?" She sounded flustered, as if she really didn't know what was going on.

Li Huowang, who was about to strike, stopped and looked at Cui Mipo with uncertainty.

He didn't know if she was pretending or if she was really confused. If they were truly interested in him, they shouldn't be behaving like this.

"If you're not going to ask, I'm leaving." Cui Mipo was about to leave with her basket.

Seeing this, Li Huowang didn't want her to leave. He dragged a wooden stool over and sat down with his sword and saber. "I want to continue asking. Call the Heavenly Lord here."

After hesitating for a moment, Cui Mipo put down her basket and lit some incense.

The same procedure as before repeated, and the man's voice appeared again.

When he found out that Li Huowang was missing one of the five elements, he gave a very strange solution. "Change your name and surname to add the missing element!"

After saying this, he grabbed a handful of rice from the basket and scattered it on the ground in front of Li Huowang.

Jin Zao Mu. These three characters appeared in front of him.

Change his name? Li Huowang looked at his new name on the ground and was a little confused. Did he really need to add the missing element to his name? Could this guy be tricking him?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Huowang decided to test the ability of this thing.

He asked Cui Mipo, who was drinking and having tea in front of him, "Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I still have one more question. Can you answer it?"

"Ask away!"

"Why aren't all things in the world rotting these days?" If this thing, which he didn't know the origin of, could really answer, Li Huowang would immediately change his name.

The disappearance of decay must be related to the death of his master. Li Huowang was deeply concerned about his master's death and wanted to know what had happened.

"The Buddha is compassionate and empathizes with all living beings in the heavens who suffer from decay."

"You liar! You've been exposed! There's no Buddha or Bodhisattva at all! Above the heavens, there are only those... those..."

Li Huowang gradually showed fear in his eyes, but he couldn't continue. He didn't know how to describe those things.

Those things that he had been deliberately avoiding thinking about since he woke up.

He thought that as long as he didn't think about them, he could pretend that those things didn't exist. Those beings that were much stronger than ordinary people and could easily kill everyone if they wanted to!

When he thought of them again, Li Huowang could no longer ignore them. His expression became painful, his breathing became more and more rapid, and some indescribable sounds began to appear in his ears.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"Senior Brother! Don't think about it! Stop thinking about it!!" Bai Lingmiao's anxious voice brought Li Huowang's consciousness back.Looking at the worried delicate face, Li Huowang took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes, I won't think about it, I won't think about it..."

"That's right, no matter what that thing is, no matter if what she said is true or false, this world has gone crazy. I can't do anything about it. I just need to live my life in peace."

After Bai Lingmiao's constant comfort, Li Huowang gradually calmed down and put those things he shouldn't think about out of his mind.

Once again calm, Li Huowang looked at Cui Mipo in front of him, and the level of trust he had for her had decreased.

"I have another question for you. What exactly is Heart Essence?"

Li Huowang's words made Cui Mipo stop her movements and look at him with her white eyes. Li Huowang could feel eight pairs of eyes staring at him from her blind eyes.

"I naturally know, but if I tell you, I will die on the spot." This scared Bai Lingmiao, who grabbed Li Huowang's sleeve and kept pulling him.

"Hmph!" Li Huowang sneered, and there was no trust in his eyes when he looked at Cui Mipo.

"You're just playing games with me, right? The Taoist sects that deceive beings taught me a lesson, which is not to follow the path of others."

The sharp, constantly emitting killing intent of the long sword was raised, and the tip of the sword was aimed directly at Cui Mipo's head. "Get out! No matter what you are or what your purpose is, get out, do you hear me?"

"Little Heart Essence, it's laughable. Since it's like this, this deity will tell you what Heart Essence is..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, there was a "crack" sound, and the black cauldron, the basket of rice, and the bronze mirror were all cut in half. The sword blade was already against Cui Mipo's neck.

"Oh my, what are you doing!" Cui Mipo's voice returned to normal.

"You're back to your old tricks? Not bad. I'll say it again! Get out!!"

Cui Mipo was obviously frightened by Li Huowang's killing intent all over her body. She picked up the things on the ground and ran outside in a panic.

The sword was sheathed, and the room gradually returned to calm.

"Let's go, let's go to bed. Take advantage of having a bed and rest well." Li Huowang said cleanly and walked into the room, putting the copper coin mask on his face.

Feeling the heavy texture, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief. "I still need to carry this thing with me. My identity as a Heart Essence is too tempting."

"Wife...what if...what she said is true?"

"It's precisely because of this 'what if' that I didn't strike her just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her leave this place. Also, don't call me 'wife'!"

That night, Li Huowang didn't sleep much, afraid that the other party would attack him at night. Even though nothing happened that night, Li Huowang hurriedly had everyone pack their bags and leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.Until they arrived at the small town of Guanguo in Sizhi, and stepped onto the lively main street, Li Huowang finally breathed a sigh of relief, as nothing had happened.

Compared to before, it was obvious that things had loosened up here, and it seemed like there really was no war going on.

After resting for a while in this town, Li Huowang and the others were ready to enter Houshu again, but before that, they needed to do one thing.

At the headquarters of the Tiger Head Escort Agency, the burly head of the agency looked at the recommendation letter in his hand and scrutinized the strange Taoist dressed in red with a copper coin mask on his face and carrying two swords on his back.

After thinking for a while, he put the letter back and said, "Alright, since Zhao Escort made the guarantee, I trust you! But I have to make it clear beforehand, if you escort goods, we take a twenty percent cut for each delivery. After all, the guarantee contract was signed by us. Do you agree with this?"

"Sure." Li Huowang agreed, as this escort was just a way to earn some extra money on the way.

"If the goods are lost, I won't hold you responsible. The guarantor will compensate for the loss. Since you said that Zhao Escort is your friend, I hope you won't let him down."
