The crazy Li Huowang waved the food in his hand and jumped onto the nearby car, bouncing along with the sound of the car alarm.
"I'm a madman!! I'm insane!!!" Li Huowang's voice echoed far and wide.
Li Huowang's strange behavior caught the attention of others. As the car owner rushed over with a broom and kept hitting Li Huowang, more and more people gathered around to watch.
As his laughter became more and more insane, Li Huowang saw a cute little girl. Her mother was walking her hand in hand, avoiding him from afar. The red cherry hairpin in her hair was extremely familiar.
At the sight of her, Li Huowang's extremely excited expression gradually disappeared, replaced by pain.
He then jumped off the car, ignoring the owner's beating, and left with the food in his hand.
In the bridge cave, Li Huowang refilled the milk tea with the somewhat murky river water and began to numbly drink it. The buns had a strange smell, probably spoiled, but he didn't care. He also didn't care what the person on the other side was eating.
Li Huowang ate the little thing very slowly, as if savoring the taste.
"Uncle?" Li Huowang turned his head and saw a girl in a small white dress standing at the entrance of the bridge cave.
In the dazzling sunlight, she looked like she was radiating light all over her body.
Looking at her cute face, Li Huowang blurted out, "Layue 18?"
The little girl said timidly and uneasily, "I...I'm not Layue 18, I...I'm Liu Yuhuan. My mom calls me Huanhuan."
When she saw Li Huowang stand up, Liu Yuhuan was so scared that she took off her backpack and put a piece of paper on the ground. Then she took out a bag of things from her backpack and put it on the paper.
After finishing this, she looked at Li Huowang nervously and hurriedly ran away.
Li Huowang walked over and looked down, only to find three buns in a white plastic bag that only elementary school students would buy.
Li Huowang smiled and picked it up, opened the plastic bag and started eating. The buns were warm and seemed to have just come out of the steamer. They weren't leftovers, but were bought specifically for him.
Li Huowang sat there, carefully eating one bite at a time. The buns were filled with meat and were really delicious.
As he ate, the environment around Li Huowang changed again. He found himself sitting on a muddy road, holding a mud ball and gnawing on it.
"Hehe." Li Huowang shook his head helplessly and continued to gnaw on the mud ball.
After finishing it, Li Huowang returned to the temple and, under the gaze of other illusions, resolutely picked up the sword on the ground.
Just then, Li Huowang heard footsteps and the sound of horse hooves. The footsteps were so familiar...
"Miao Miao!" Li Huowang rushed out with the sword, but saw an unexpected person - the big god with the red hat.
The rain outside had stopped, but the big god's red hat was wet, and two water marks slid down from the eye position.
Li Huowang stood in front of the temple with a complicated expression, looking at it beside a carriage in the distance. "What are you here for?"

"Woof woof!" Mantou, wagging its tail, emerged from behind the carriage. It shook off the rainwater on its body and excitedly rushed towards Li Huowang.
Twisting its body, Mantou jumped up and down, using its front paws to repeatedly stamp out plum blossom prints on Li Huowang's body with yellow mud.At this moment, the great deity opened the carriage beside him, and the Black Tai Sui, bound by tendons, appeared in front of Li Huowang.
She led the carriage over and pulled Li Huowang towards the broken temple with her cold, sharp black-nailed hand.
When they arrived at the only dry place in the temple, the great deity first took a towel to dry off the rain and mud from Li Huowang's body, and then took out a brand new set of clothes and shoes from the carriage.
She helped Li Huowang put on the clothes, and then put an old red Taoist robe on him.
As she lowered her head to tie Li Huowang's belt, Li Huowang reached out and lifted the great deity's red veil.
Suddenly, the great deity's face, like a man-eating flower, appeared in front of Li Huowang.
However, this flower's petals and buds were formed by snake scales, hedgehog spines, and other similar things.
In the center of the flower, half of Bai Lingmiao's face was crying, looking at Li Huowang with sadness, and the other side corresponded to a fox-like beast face.
And her facial organs were not constant, slowly moving and changing over time.
Sometimes there were more human faces, sometimes more animal faces, and the number of eyes varied.
The great deity in this appearance opened her arms and gently hugged Li Huowang, getting tighter and tighter, almost suffocating him. "My lord..."
The hand that reached behind her broke Li Huowang's fingers one by one, letting the Purple Spike Sword fall to the ground.
The white ribbon on her wrist was untied and gently covered Li Huowang's eyelidless eyes.
Then a forked, slippery tongue pried open Li Huowang's teeth.
"My lord... we'll wait for you, wait for the day you're cured."
Hearing this, Li Huowang hugged her back, looking at the huge and slender feline eyes getting tighter and tighter.
Although life was miserable and the world was extremely hopeless, even every inch of Li Huowang's life was cast in pain, there was no one who wanted to die. Sometimes, as long as someone pulled back a little, they could save a tragedy.
The great deity eventually left, but she left the steamed buns and the carriage with the Black Tai Sui.
Sitting on the ground, Li Huowang stared blankly at the hole in the sky for a long time before picking up the Purple Spike Sword again.
As he looked at the small part of himself on the blade, Li Huowang's expression suddenly twisted. He raised the sword and pointed it directly at a black pigeon on the rafters.
"A pigeon?"
Just as Li Huowang thought this, the pigeon flew down and landed on his shoulder. "Goo~ goo goo~ goo~"
It was then that Li Huowang noticed a small note tied to the pigeon's ankle.
There was an oracle bone script on it that looked like the character "tian" with an eye underneath.
After slowly opening the note, Li Huowang read the contents and was shocked. He led the carriage out of the broken temple.
It was Tuoba Danqing's carrier pigeon message, informing Li Huowang to go to Yinling City and meet at the old place.
This reminded Li Huowang of his plan, his plan to find Beifeng through the Jiantiansi.
Strong unwillingness surged in his heart, suppressing the pain and death in Li Huowang's eyes at this moment.
"Steamed buns, let's go! This place wants me dead, but it's not that easy!"
"I have nothing now, what am I afraid of! Even if I die, I will poke a hole in it!""I will one day be able to rid myself of this identity as Xin Su! One day...one day..."
