When the doll in the jar saw Li Huowang, who was as big as a mountain in front of her, her face covered in white powder showed a surprised and fearful expression.
"So, you guys still know how to be afraid!"
A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.
"Clang!" With a sound, the long sword was unsheathed, and with a soaring killing intent, it was swung down.
With the sound of ceramic cracking, the two dolls instantly disappeared.
What splashed out from their pale bodies was not blood, but a kind of gray-brown powder.
Mixed in it were also white fragments of bone, which were bone ash. These two dolls were made of bone ash!
"Something's not right. This doesn't seem like a wild evil spirit."
Li Huowang looked at the obvious fingerprints on the ceramic jar and thought to himself.
"Shh..." The sound of bamboo leaves brushing against paper made Li Huowang quickly stand up.
Suddenly, his face became extremely ugly, and this time it wasn't just two pairs of eyes.
Countless pairs of eyes shot towards him from all directions, surrounding him.
Soon, Li Huowang saw those things, those things wearing paper-made shrouds.
They had no faces, but all of them had a white porcelain jar on their heads.
On the pale jar, there was also a long strip of red paper with words written on it, staring at Li Huowang like eyes.
Their figures were faintly visible in the bamboo forest shrouded in darkness.
They were moving, although Li Huowang didn't see them move.
But they were indeed approaching him in some way that couldn't be seen.
"Clatter!" "The Great Thousand Record" quickly spread out on the ground, and Li Huowang took out the pliers, ready to put them into his mouth at any time.
Just then, something red swayed in front of Li Huowang, blocking his view.
This red thing was like the yellow talisman in a zombie movie, stuck to Li Huowang's forehead.
Li Huowang quickly reached out to remove it and was shocked to find that it was a wide strip of red paper with a line of words written on it. "The position of Li Huowang's deceased husband."
After seeing the words on this paper, Li Huowang's mind was instantly occupied by all kinds of chaotic information.
"Are they assimilating me? Am I turning into them? Who are they! Wait! I seem to have heard of them at Qingfeng Temple in the past."
In a flash of lightning, a name appeared in his mind, "Grandma Lai! They are Grandma Lai!"
Almost at that moment, Li Huowang raised the pliers again, but this time, he didn't aim at his teeth, but at his left eye.
With a "pop," as the eyeball was crushed, a strange light enveloped the surroundings, and a sticky and hazy halo covered the Grandma Lais around him.
All the surrounding sights disappeared at this moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Huowang quickly rushed forward and returned to the roadside.
Obviously, the other people on the roadside had not yet understood what had happened, and stood there bored, panting.
"Quickly, leave this bamboo forest, this place is dangerous!"
Perhaps it was the deterrent power of Li Huowang's bloody and constantly dripping left eye, but no one questioned it, and they dragged their tired bodies and ran away one after another.
They didn't stop running until they passed through the bamboo forest and reached a grassland behind it.Everyone was running for their lives on the grassland until they reached the distant horizon, where they finally stopped.
Jinshan, who was soaked in sweat, stumbled and threw the bamboo basket on his back to the ground before lying down and panting heavily.
He picked up some tender grass from the ground with his right hand, looked at it, and then put it down weakly. Gasping for breath, he said, "Ha...ha...Qing, we're almost there...ha...ha...we're almost at Qingqiu...ha..."
At this moment, Li Huowang once again stood on the roof of the ox cart.
The open environment gave Li Huowang extremely far vision. With a furrowed brow, he surveyed everything around him with his one eye.
If it continued like this, those unknown Da Laolao would still be able to catch up. Li Huowang could only try to outwit them.
Fortunately, with the gradual rise of the sun, the warm sunlight dispelled the coldness on Li Huowang's body, and no more eyes were cast his way.
And in the bamboo forest before, there was no sign of Da Laolao anymore. A stone spoke up.
"What should we do? This kid doesn't look easy to deal with. Even Da Laolao we lured here couldn't stop him. Should we go back and call for help from Peng Longteng?"
As soon as the stone finished speaking, the bamboo shoot replied, "Why bother? Peng Longteng is looking for this kid anyway. Just tell her, and we'll save ourselves the trouble."
"Good point. If there's a mistake, we'll blame it on her. If there's success, we'll all share the credit."
After saying this, the stone and bamboo shoot didn't speak again.
That day, Li Huowang and the others rested in that place for a whole day.
Rest was necessary, after all, people weren't made of iron.
Fortunately, during this time, except for a few passing by, nothing unexpected happened.
Li Bai Lingmiao sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Li Huowang who was sleeping with concern.
Even when he was asleep, he couldn't rest easy. Li Huowang turned his head slightly, muttering something under his breath.
She raised her fair fingers and touched the terrifying blood hole on Li Huowang's face. "This must hurt so much..."
With a loud bang, Li Huowang, who was sleeping, suddenly exploded. His hands had already grabbed Bai Lingmiao's slender neck and were tightening.
Everyone was scared out of their wits, including Li Huowang himself.
He quickly let go of his hands and carefully checked Bai Lingmiao. He realized that he hadn't choked her to death and hugged her tightly, kissing and hugging her.
"Li Shixiong...everyone is watching..."
Li Huowang stopped and said with lingering fear, "From now on...when I'm sleeping, stay away from me."
"But...we always sleep together."
"Be obedient, my nerves are a bit tense during this time. We'll talk about it after this period."
"Well, okay. By the way, Li Shixiong, your...eyes."
"It's okay. This way is better. It changes more than before and is easier to hide."
Li Huowang and the others walked on this vast grassland for three days and finally saw the checkpoint at noon on the third day.
It couldn't even be called a checkpoint. This broken place was only surrounded by a low wall, and there were only a few border soldiers leaning against the wall, looking particularly lazy."This is natural. Qingqiu and Houshu have always been allied countries, and they don't guard against each other that much."
Seeing the confusion in Li Huowang's eyes, Jinshan explained kindly.
"Allied countries? Then the thief army won't attack Qingqiu?" Li Huowang asked while looking at the lively street in front of him.
"There is absolutely no such possibility. If the Houshu army enters Qingqiu, it is almost equivalent to a bilateral war. This is much more serious than killing thousands of people."
Upon hearing this, Li Huowang's heart was slightly relieved.
He suddenly thought of something and looked at the old man in front of him again. "Are you going back home now?"
Jinshan smiled and bowed to Li Huowang. "Sir, we will meet again. I will never forget your lifesaving grace."
"If one day I become an official, I will definitely repay you."
Li Huowang smiled. "Can you do it? Don't bother yourself if you have nothing to do. Find a place to retire."
At this point, Jinshan's expression became serious.
"A gentleman should cultivate oneself, manage one's family, and help govern the world! I have been studying the art of numerology for decades, how can I not use it?"
"I must fulfill my ambition and eliminate all disputes between countries! Let the world be as clear as day and night!"
As he spoke, there seemed to be a light in Jinshan's somewhat turbid eyes.
Li Huowang was somewhat shocked by Jinshan's words.
This seemingly timid old man actually had such great ideals in his heart.
Moreover, he didn't seem to be just casually talking.
Li Huowang gave a formal salute to Jinshan. "Then I wish you success and the realization of your grand plan."
Jinshan smiled and returned the salute. "Thank you, sir. Let's part ways here."
"Whoosh..." A whistling sound suddenly rang out.
"Swish..." Jinshan's smiling figure was cut in half by a flying giant halberd.
In front of Li Huowang, Jinshan was split in two, still alive.
