After a long time, the cotton in Li Huowang's ears was pulled out with a buzzing sound, and various sounds occupied his ears.

The voices from the adjacent room, the shouting outside the window, and even his own heartbeat were incredibly clear and huge.

Li Huowang closed his eyes painfully and tried to distinguish the sounds. Finally, after spending the time it took to burn a stick of incense, he managed to hear the unique intermittent voice of the Black Tai Sui amidst the mixed sounds.

"I'm talking to you! Can you hear me?!" In the noisy sounds, Li Huowang shouted loudly.

Soon, the Black Tai Sui responded, not with terrifying whispers or various dark and unfamiliar languages, but with some simple and unrelated words.

"口....天……吴....."

"What are you saying?! Can you understand me?! You can't live without me even if I die! Let's talk!"

This thing could crawl out of his nose and throat at will, and it couldn't be left alone. It had to be dealt with.

He had originally planned to negotiate with this thing, no matter what its purpose was, they could discuss it.

But reality didn't follow Li Huowang's routine. Faced with his questions, the Black Tai Sui still responded with those simple words.

Hearing these overly simple words, Li Huowang felt like he was talking to a child who was just learning to speak.

"A child? A child?!" Suddenly, something came to Li Huowang's mind. He got up, holding his head, and asked the shopkeeper to bring him the four treasures of the study, and began to record the Black Tai Sui's words while enduring the increasingly noisy sounds in his ears.

"口......木......水.......火.......田......文......"

One stroke at a time, simple characters were written on the paper. Looking at the order and the familiar characters, Li Huowang's eyes showed some understanding.

"I said why these words in its mouth are so familiar. It turns out that all the words it says were taught to Lv Xiucai by me before!"

The truth was revealed. This was also why the Black Tai Sui only spoke these simple words, because it only knew these.

It just happened to learn some while he was teaching Xiucai.

The Black Tai Sui didn't understand the meaning of these characters at all. It just kept repeating them.

"How can I communicate with it if it can't even speak?" Li Huowang put the cotton back into his ears and wandered around the room with his hands behind his back for a long time. He thought of various ways, but eventually rejected them all.

It was now in his stomach, and it couldn't be driven away in order to suppress the hallucinations. He had to think of other ways to solve this problem.

Finally, after thinking about it, Li Huowang realized that he could only use a stupid method. That was to teach the Black Tai Sui how to read and speak.

After learning to speak, he could communicate with it. In the last battle with the Taoist sects that deceive beings, it played an unexpected role.

As long as they could communicate well, maybe this thing could also be used as a hidden weapon.

Li Huowang didn't know how long it would take to teach a pile of tentacles how to speak, but he was sure it wouldn't be short, so it was a stupid method.

"Okay, if I have to teach it, then I will. It's better than having no solution." Li Huowang struggled to sit down and picked up a piece of wax-yellow rice paper.Wanting to teach Black Tai Sui to speak, Li Huowang understood that this was not something that could be done overnight, so he could take his time.

Compared to that, he had other more important things to do, which was to go to Da Tou Wa Wa to collect his reward. This was the first job he had taken on from the Monitoring Bureau.

Feeling that his injuries were mostly healed, Li Huowang had the others pack up and start on their way. This time, no matter who tried to persuade him, it was of no use.

After arguing with Bai Lingmiao for a while, Li Huowang took a step back and bought a carriage. During his journey, he only lay on the carriage.

After a long journey on the road, when Li Huowang returned to the bustling city of Yinling, his chest wounds had already healed completely.

However, the lost eye and the two broken ribs in his waist had not healed.

For some reason, bones, eyeballs, and nails healed much slower than flesh.

"Senior Li, according to the map, we don't necessarily have to enter the city. Taking this small road would be faster. Master Lü walks and sings along the way. We might even be faster than him." Gou Wa, who was standing at the gate of Yinling City, offered his suggestion to Li Huowang.

"Stop talking nonsense, we're going into the city, to the same inn as before, to reserve a room."

Of course, Li Huowang wouldn't tell this big mouth that he was here to collect his reward from the Monitoring Bureau.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

He had gone through so much trouble before, all for this purpose.

Li Huowang had originally thought that if the other party didn't show up, he would stay a few more nights. But it was obvious that his eyes were all over Yinling City.

At two in the morning, when Li Huowang arrived at the stable, Da Tou Wa Wa was already sitting on the feed with a yellow cloth bag in his hand, waiting for him.

Before Li Huowang could say anything, Da Tou Wa Wa flipped off the feed and jumped down, coming to him. His tone was obviously much gentler than before.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect you to have some skills, you did a great job in Gan Yuan Village, not a single person died."

Hearing this, Li Huowang's hanging heart finally fell. He had passed the test and had officially joined the Monitoring Bureau.

"Where, where, I was just lucky."

"Hey, luck is also a kind of skill. Don't underestimate yourself. By the way, are you injured? If you are, whether it's internal or external injuries, there are people in the bureau who can help you heal."

Seeing Li Huowang shake his head, Da Tou Wa Wa grabbed his head covering and took it off directly.

Li Huowang found that underneath Da Tou Wa Wa's head covering was an exceptionally kind and rich-looking face, with big green eyes that blinked and blinked, very cute.

This smiling middle-aged fat man clasped his hands together and bowed to Li Huowang, his face full of smiles.

"I'm really sorry. I haven't tested your skills or figured out your bottom line yet, so I didn't dare to bring you into the bureau."

He reached into his sleeve and pulled out five Yang Shou Dan pills wrapped in yellow talismans. "Here, these are the ones you gave me before. I'm giving them back to you now."

"Senior, what are you doing? Since the things have been given away, there's no reason to take them back." Li Huowang reached out to push them back."You take it first, and then listen to me." The man forcefully stuffed the Yangshou Dan into Li Huowang's hand, and then slowly said, "You know, you were brought in by me. So, in case something happens to you in the future, I'll be in trouble. This is like an insurance policy."

"But if you really want to join the Monitoring Bureau, you don't need this insurance policy. Do you agree?" The fat man said with a smile that made it hard for people to refuse.

"I am a few years older than you, with the surname Tuoba, and the name Danqing. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Tuoba." This was the first time the other party had told Li Huowang his surname, which obviously represented something.

Li Huowang bowed to him. "Thank you, Brother Tuoba."

"Hey, this is my gift to you. From now on, we are a family. I wish you a bright future, Brother Ear Jiu!"

Looking at the Yangshou Dan in his hand, Li Huowang suddenly felt warm in his heart. He didn't care about this Yangshou Dan, but he cared about the other's attitude.

Since he crawled out of Qingfeng Temple, except for the dead senior sister, everyone else either wanted to beat or kill him. There was never a moment of peace.

Li Huowang was not a naive kid. He naturally knew that the other party was probably faking it, but for such a long time, he hadn't even enjoyed the goodwill that was faked.

Tuoba Danqing reached out and pulled Li Huowang, walking towards the stable. "Come on, little brother, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a more comfortable place."
