Mutated Tao Chapter 148: Old knowledge


The swaying limbs, the trembling and stretching white fangs, these things writhed together with the beating etiquette and music.

The three people dancing the Nuo opera in the distance, at this moment, gave Li Huowang a feeling that they were no longer human beings, but trees.

Which is not the case? I'm not sure if I'll be able to stop it

With a cup of tea, some high-pitched lyrics came from behind their wooden masks.

"ㄨㄛˊㄕㄣˊㄑㄨㄍㄨ"

This is a singing style that Li Huowang and others cannot understand.

Li Huowang and others didn't understand, but the locals seemed to understand. Their eyes were slightly closed, their fingers were beating on their legs, and they were humming along.

"ㄓㄨㄢ~ㄨㄓㄧㄡˇ!ㄙㄢㄗㄧㄨㄤˊ,~!ㄨˊㄦˊㄨㄟˊ,ㄧˋ!!ㄍㄨㄟˇㄩˊㄕㄧˇㄧㄙㄨㄟ ˋ..."

After listening for a while, Li Huowang raised his foot and walked forward after he couldn't hear a word.

Whether he is weird or not, anyway, I am not a big showman, and it has nothing to do with me.

But after walking a few steps, Li Huowang saw Lu Zhuangyuan standing there without moving.

"I'm not busy, you go first, hum! I want to see the play here, what's the name of it."

Maybe it's because his colleagues are enemies, it sounds like he has a lot of hostility towards those dancing Nuo operas.

"Father, why don't you change the day, people here are not familiar with the place. It's not easy to live."

Lu Zhuangyuan's eyes widened immediately, and he raised the cigarette stick to his eldest son.

"Oh, you still care about your father? There are people coming and going in this street, what's the matter?"

Taking advantage of their noisy time, Li Huowang has already led the others to move forward.

After walking for half a stick of incense, they finally opened a guest room in an inn with the word "wine" hanging on the door.

In an old bedroom, Li Huowang put his belongings on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.

Two swords, "Daqianlu", stone tablet heavenly scriptures, and instruments of torture, these things add up to one piece, and the weight is not light.

Picking up the teapot and pouring out a glass of water, Li Huowang frowned immediately after taking a deep breath.

Bai Lingmiao, who was making the quilt, saw this scene and walked over. "What's wrong?"

"Try it, does the water have a strange smell?" Li Huowang handed over the tea in his hand.

Holding the drink in both hands, Bai Lingmiao nodded in surprise. "Really, it smells like earth."

"I thought I was too sensitive, but it seems that's not the case. The water quality in Houshu is not good."

Li Huowang went to the window and propped up the paper window with wooden strips. "Wait tomorrow, let everyone else disperse and inquire about the affairs of Houshu. It is best to find a detailed map so as not to go astray."

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you." Bai Lingmiao straightened the bed sheet, then reached out to untie the Taoist robe on Li Huowang's body.

"When I was leading the horse, I just saw a well next to it. Now that I have time, I will go to wash clothes."

"By the way, Senior Brother Li, I remember that there was a dead Taoist boy. His family seems to be in this town. Should we send the ashes there?"

Li Huowang's heart moved, and he remembered that he had indeed heard about this matter before.

"Who will keep the ashes? I will deliver them."

"Now? It's so late, why don't you take a rest first and go tomorrow."

In the end, Li Huowang still carried the ashes, steamed buns and child Yang out of the inn, he was too lazy to procrastinate on such a trivial matter.

The reason why he took Young Boy was because he had a good time with the dead Daotong, and he knew where that person lived.

Of course, he also has another tacit meaning, which is that he is afraid that Li Huowang will go crazy halfway and no one will take care of him.

Li Huowang can't get away from anyone now. With him around, he can come back in time to inform others.

Little Yang, holding the ashes jar, told Li Huowang the story of the dead Taoist boy.

"When we were in Qingfengguan, we called her Mao Huabao, because she likes to brag, saying that her house is bigger than the whole Qingfengguan, and there are more than 100 sheep at home."

"He also said that he is the only girl in the family, and the family loves her the most, and his father will kill her to eat as much mutton as he wants."

Li Huowang glanced at the urn in his hand in surprise. "Is this child a girl?"

"Yes, Brother Li, don't you remember?"

Li Huowang shook his head, these Taoist boys basically didn't occupy much place in his heart, and he didn't pay much attention to these hard-working children.

"Hey...you are also a poor person. They all escaped from the Qingfeng Temple and were drowned in the end." Li Huowang suddenly felt a burst of regret.

"Don't you feel disgusted when you say this? What qualifications do you have to say this? Do you know how many people were strangled to death by your own hands?"

Hearing Jiang Yingzi's words, Li Huowang felt extremely irritable, "Shut up!"

These words startled the child Yang beside him. He and others had seen Senior Brother Li talking to himself many times, but he was still not used to it.

Li Huowang, whose face became a little ugly, stopped talking and walked forward with his head buried.

Although Li Huowang tried his best to ignore these hallucinations, it was not an easy task.

The more they walked, the further they went, gradually walking towards the edge of this Gobi town.

The sky darkened a lot, and there were fewer people on the road, most of them were in a hurry.

Just when Li Huowang was about to ask if Child Yang was here, a shout of joy sounded from behind.

"Taoist! Taoist!! It's me!"

Li Huowang subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he saw the caller, he was overjoyed.

That person is the old monk who stayed in Zhengde Temple before.

Compared with the clean appearance in the temple before, now he has become the old dirty look again.

"Monk, why did you come here? Aren't you staying in Zhengde Temple?"

Hearing what I said, the monk couldn't help complaining immediately. "Don't mention it. In the temple, I was almost suffocating. I couldn't do good deeds, and they made me recite Buddhist scriptures."

"I can't bear this, so I just come out and forget it. By the way, where are you going?"

"Go... give me something. Let's just go together. When you come out of the temple, didn't the monks in Zhengde Temple make things difficult for you?"

"Why do they embarrass me? Not only do they not embarrass me, but they also give me a lot of money. Monks are good people, and there are no bad people."

"Heh." Li Huowang smiled and didn't bother to argue.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land made Li Huowang feel better. It is always so easy to get along with simple people. Li Huowang chatted with the monk very speculatively.

Li Huowang deliberately provoked some things in the past, and the other party could accept it.

Just when he was chatting excitedly, Child Yang's voice brought him back to his senses. "Brother Li...here we are."
