Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 384 You Call This Becoming an Immortal (Original)

However, Zhou Wenwei felt something was wrong at this time. Not to mention why this medicine lead named Goudan, who informed on Li Huowang, did this.

First of all, the statement that Li Huowang didn't go to the material room all day is ridiculous. Danyangzi asked Li Huowang to deliver a medicine lead there in the morning, and it is impossible that the disciples in the material room did not see it.

Even if Goudan wanted to report Li Huowang, he would not have knowingly made such a low-level mistake. Instead, he should have said that Li Huowang came to the material room once in the morning and then disappeared. This would be more reasonable.

Instead of... saying that Li Huowang did not appear in the material room today.

After all, Li Huowang appeared in the material room and took the medicine away. Everyone knew that it was definitely sent to Dan Yangzi to make the elixir. How could Dan Yangzi not know whether Li Huowang had been to the material room or not?

Sure enough, Dan Yangzi in the comic immediately saw through the loophole in Goudan's words and said viciously, "Bullshit! The medicine this morning was delivered by Xuan Yang himself! Where did he find the medicine if he didn't go to the material room? Are you looking for death?"

Goudan also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

At the same time, Dan Yangzi suddenly looked at Xuan Yin, who had inadvertently revealed a smug look on his face when Li Huowang was suspected by him, and said with a horrible face, "What were you laughing at just now? Are you happy that Xuan Yang was framed?"

In an instant, Xuanyin was frightened.

Because he did sneak into Danyangzi's room with Zhengkun, and his psychological quality was not as strong as Li Huowang as a modern man.

Under Dan Yangzi's pressure, he was scared to the point of peeing his pants, and immediately confessed that it was Zheng Kun who did it!
At this time, Zhengkun had no choice but to escape immediately after being forced to expose himself.

With a wave of his Taoist robe in his right hand, accompanied by the crisp sound of "linglingling", a copper coin with a verdigris color rolled to the ground and spun like a top.

Just as Zhengkun was about to escape from the cave, Danyangzi suddenly raised his right foot in cloth shoes and stepped on the ground, raising dust high into the air.

With a "crack", the entire copper coin instantly broke into pieces and splashed out. Not only the copper coin was broken into pieces, but also Zheng Kun in the distance.

In the comics, it can be seen that his limbs seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and were torn apart in mid-air, leaving only a broken body!
Although Zhengkun kept begging for mercy from Danyangzi with his broken body, he even brought up the time when they were escaping with Danyangzi and were chased by monks from a temple called Zhengde Temple. It was his two younger brothers who risked their lives to save Danyangzi's life.

However, Danyangzi did not think so. He felt that Zhengkun, like his two brothers, were ungrateful people who could never be tamed.

In fact, he had long suspected that it was Zhengkun who did it, because there was a restriction in his room, and among the many disciples in the Taoist temple, only Zhengkun could remove it.

"The protagonist is really smart. He first found out the restrictions in Danyangzi's room, and then lured Zhengkun and Xuanyin to go in and explore the way first."

Seeing this, Zhou Wenwei was very impressed with the protagonist Li Huowang and said, "A mentally ill person... is actually so smart. No, a mentally ill person just has a problem with his brain, not necessarily stupid."

He slapped his head and said, "Yes, geniuses like Nietzsche and John Forbes all had mental illness, so mental illness is different from stupidity."

In short, Li Huowang managed to get through the crisis safely thanks to his bold and careful style of action, and with the help of the medicine guide named Goudan.

Next, because his disciple Zhengkun and the vase girl died, Danyangzi, who was illiterate, chose to let Li Huowang, who had previously demonstrated his "talent", to read the words on the heavenly book.

Li Huowang was also very smart. Without knowing what method of cultivation the vase girl had told Dan Yangzi before, he chose to say that there was no method of becoming an immortal that Dan Yangzi had mentioned before.

Instead, he chose to start over. After all, the vase girl had indeed deceived Dan Yangzi before.

Dan Yangzi knew the truth immediately. After careful consideration, he easily realized that all his previous cultivation methods were tricked by the vase girl.

In fact, the vase girl's words to deceive Danyangzi were full of loopholes. She said that the things written in the heavenly book would change, and she also said that it was impossible to memorize the words in the heavenly book.

So Danyangzi quickly believed Li Huowang and spat hard at the body of the girl with the vase.

Obviously, this behavior shows that the vase girl is definitely not Dan Yangzi's biological daughter.

Li Huowang once again fabricated a set of "internal energy exercises" recorded above, and then fabricated a recipe for a pill that could "attain enlightenment and become an immortal."

For example, it requires 2 liang 4 qian of cinnabar, 1 qian of white money seeds, and 1 liang 2 qian of arsenic. He also mentioned the folk legend monster "Master You" that Bai Lingmiao had mentioned before as an ingredient in the pill recipe.

"Good guy..."

Zhou Wenwei was immediately amused when he saw this, and said, "Cinnabar, arsenic, these highly toxic substances, and the evil spirits are used as medicine. They really want to kill Dan Yangzi."

That’s right, Li Huowang did not forget to kill Dan Yangzi.

Even now that Zhengkun and Xuanyin are both dead, and he has suddenly become Danyangzi's "eldest disciple", he still wants to kill this bald-headed man who is like a bandit and has harmed countless people, just to get rid of the harm for the people.

Therefore, after gaining Danyangzi's trust, and even after Danyangzi expressed his desire to become an immortal together with Li Huowang, Li Huowang first returned to the material room and told Bai Lingmiao and the others that they could go home soon.

And it turned out that Goudan, who had just reported Li Huowang, was helping Li Huowang and deliberately said such flawed words to deceive Dan Yangzi.

Li Huowang was also very grateful to these poor deformed people, but he also began to ask them about the strange evil spirits in this world like "Master You" that appeared in folk legends.

The purpose, of course, is to compile all these weird and evil spirits into medicinal ingredients for elixirs, so that the bald man Danyangzi can refine them and eat them to poison himself to death!
With everyone in the material room talking at once, Li Huowang also collected the recipe for the "immortality" elixir he wanted.

Two great grandmother hearts, extracting their essence, a grandma fish, taking its gills, soaking it in two ounces of arsenic, and a bunch of heavy metal medicinal materials such as cinnabar, arsenic, realgar, sulfur, red lead, etc.

This is indeed a recipe for the elixir of immortality. After taking it, one can directly ascend to heaven. Isn’t this what it means to be immortal?
But wouldn't Dan Yangzi become suspicious after seeing this kind of elixir recipe where the names of the medicinal ingredients clearly indicate that it can kill people?
Especially since Danyangzi had been deceived twice, by the vase girl and Zhengkun, the eldest disciple whom he regarded as his own son. Would he be so easy to trust Li Huowang, the new eldest disciple?
Unexpectedly... Danyangzi actually believed it.

When he saw the recipe, he analyzed it logically, "Yes, it's correct. Arsenic is cold, so it must be neutralized by something hot like the gongpo fish. Great! And they even use the great grandmother in the recipe. Why didn't I think of it before? Since humans can be used in the recipe, why can't these evil things be used in the recipe?"

Then he took out a copper bell with a missing corner in front of Li Huowang, summoned "Master You", and collected the herbs.

After that, we also had a New Year’s Eve dinner.

Whether they were living disciples or those killed by him personally, such as "Xuan Yang" who had tried to escape before, and Xuan Yin and Zheng Kun who had been killed not long ago, all set up their bowls and had a New Year's Eve dinner together.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Dan Yangzi smiled and took Li Huowang to the alchemy room to prepare to make the elixir, intending to become immortals together with his disciple!
Soon, after the strange alchemy process was over, two fist-sized red pills with a metallic luster, two flesh pills that squirmed like living things, and two black pills that looked rotten and had a very pungent smell appeared in the alchemy furnace in the comic.

Zhou Wenwei could smell the pungent smell of decay, as if he could even smell it through the comics.

In order to ensure that Danyangzi believed that the elixir was real, Li Huowang took the risk. After all, if he didn't eat these "elixirs", Danyangzi would be even less likely to eat them.

So he decisively swallowed the fist-sized red pill, and continued to pretend to be excited about his upcoming "immortality". After swallowing the remaining two pills, he closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and placed them on his knees.

Sweat flowed down his face, and Li Huowang's body began to tremble while meditating, but an expression of irrepressible ecstasy gradually appeared on his face.

"I have so much innate spiritual energy! This... these are... so that's it, I understand, I understand!! I will become an immortal!"

This acting...it's like he's really going to become an immortal.

As for Dan Yangzi standing aside, it turned out that this bald guy hadn't taken the elixir yet. It seemed that he was still wary of Li Huowang.

Seeing that Li Huowang seemed to be about to become an immortal, he decisively swallowed all the pills, closed his eyes, and began to practice the set of small and large Zhoutian exercises that Li Huowang had mentioned before.

At this time, Li Huowang beside him opened his eyes and looked at Dan Yangzi who had taken the pill and was practicing the "kung fu", and smiled a little crazy.

That crazy smile seemed to be strangely infectious, and even Zhou Wenwei felt a little scared.

"Hahaha, bald head! Bald head!! You can't become an immortal! You can only become a ghost. Let's go together on the Naihe Bridge, hahaha!"

White smoke came out of Li Huowang's head, and black stuff was crawling all over his body along his blood vessels. His expression looked like he was in pain and happy at the same time, and that crazy smile had a weird feeling.

Zhou Wenwei was horrified as he watched this scene... "Ghost, was that old thief Qingshan also crazy when he painted this?!"

His eyes widened, and he thought with a tingling sensation on his scalp, "And this smile... looks like the smile of the old thief at the book signing event before."

Dan Yangzi in the comics also heard Li Huowang's mocking laughter, but he still kept his eyes closed. Even when Li Huowang took some recovery pills to regain his strength and beat up Dan Yangzi who was trying hard to "become an immortal", he still ignored it.

He even stubbornly shouted, "Get lost! You inner demons, don't even think about hindering me from becoming an immortal! I'm about to become an immortal! The Grandmaster is coming to pick me up soon!"

"Good fellow... this heart is indeed firm..."

Zhou Wenwei has also read a lot of comics about cultivation. Looking at Dan Yangzi, who has such a firm "heart of seeking the truth", he muttered, "If he wasn't born a bandit, he might have become an immortal if he had practiced the right way."

"Crazy... This guy has been driven completely crazy by his obsession with becoming an immortal..."

Li Huowang in the comics also looked at Dan Yangzi like this and felt a little emotional, but at this moment, the poison in his body also took effect. He said in a cold sweat, "Ouch, my stomach really hurts."

Under the severe pain, the scenes in front of Li Huowang became confused and kept changing.

The scene changes here, and Lin Qingshan uses the first-person perspective of "Edgewalker" when Mann and David Cyber ​​had a mental illness attack.

The only difference is that the image disorder in the comic "Edgewalker" is similar to the image disorder of code, while the image disorder of "Tao Weird Immortal" is that of white smoke.

In the cartoon picture from Li Huowang's first perspective, Yang Na's face originally appeared, but then it quickly melted and re-joined into the face of his attending physician.

"Bed No. 14 is unconscious, preliminary diagnosis is food poisoning! Quick! Bring the electric suction device over and perform gastric lavage!"

"Wash your uncle's stomach... Don't forget... This is a mental hospital... There is no... stomach washing machine... Can your hallucinations... be more logical..."

At this time, Li Huowang complained.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Zhou Wenwei was amused by this and said, "This is definitely not an illusion, otherwise you would definitely be dead. Li Huowang and Dan Yangzi are equally persistent, both think it is an illusion. Who says there are no gastric lavage machines in mental hospitals... What if those mentally ill patients with pica eat something they shouldn't?"

In his opinion, this was definitely not an illusion, but the protagonist's ability.

Otherwise, the protagonist would definitely be poisoned to death after taking the poison pill.

But is this possible?
It’s only the seventh chapter and the protagonist is going to die?
Even the old thief Qingshan couldn't do such a thing, right?
So it is true that the mental hospital performed gastric lavage, and Li Huowang was saved by gastric lavage.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary person like him withstand the poisonous pill that could kill even Dan Yangzi, who had achieved a small level of success in Taoism.

And sure enough, the screen went black, as if to show that Li Huowang had fainted.

Then, after three consecutive black comic pages passed by...

The picture changed from pure black to a little light in the middle, as if Li Huowang finally woke up and opened his eyes after being unconscious for a long time.

Sure enough, Li Huowang woke up and opened his eyes, then he suddenly supported himself on the ground with his hands and began to vomit violently.

He vomited out a mass of deformed flesh and blood mixed with black water, a few hairs, dumpling crumbs, and a few pieces of internal organs.

Then he looked at the flesh and blood in the black water, and it stopped moving after a few seconds.

He couldn't help but panic, and said, "I... am still alive? How can I still be alive? If I am still alive, then that bald guy must be..."

Then, a sentence suddenly popped up from outside the screen next to him.

"So that's how it is. Master Dao, I finally understand! Hahahaha!"

This conversation was displayed in a bubble box, indicating that it was unknown who was speaking, but Zhou Wenwei knew very well that it was definitely Dan Yangzi who was speaking.

Danyangzi wasn't poisoned to death?

The protagonist has modern medical gastric lavage, Danyangzi... on what basis?

Could it be that Danyangzi has really achieved success in practicing Taoism?

And what does he mean by enlightenment?
Zhou Wenwei was a little confused. He hadn't seen Dan Yangzi's appearance yet. Suddenly, he moved his fingers, and the next shocking cartoon picture that occupied the entire screen of the mobile phone appeared in front of him.

In the picture, there was a figure still wearing a Taoist robe sitting there. It was obviously Dan Yangzi.

But... now, his originally ugly head has split open, and three ferocious big mouths have grown out of his head, but they are full of disgusting yellow teeth that are crisscrossed and entangled with each other and climbing upwards.

At the same time, in addition to Danyangzi's deformed head, sharp thorns that seemed to be stuck to asphalt and looked like feathers also emerged from his back, drilling out of his flesh and blood, carrying scarlet blood.

This impactful scene, coupled with Lin Qingshan's superb painting skills that have now reached the realm of painting, has a unique magic of ugliness and beauty intertwined with each other, which makes people feel creepy and fanatical at the same time.

It seems that this is...

"What is this? Three flowers gather at the top of the head...to ascend to heaven?"

Li Huowang, who was standing by, said in surprise.

Three...three flowers gathered at the top of the head?
Ascend to heaven? !
If Zhou Wenwei hadn’t seen Li Huowang in the cartoon say these two idioms, he would never have imagined that this scene depicted the immortality in mythology.

only……

"ah????"

Zhou Wenwei opened his mouth and eyes wide, and shouted, "You call this the gathering of three flowers at the top of the head? You call this the ascension to heaven??? Qingshan old thief, are you okay?"

Then he subconsciously swiped the screen, and in the next picture, the three cracked mouths of the deformed Danyangzi's head shouted at the same time -

"Hahaha! I've become a Taoist priest!"①
But in the end, Dan Yangzi's entire deformed body exploded instantly, and blood and flesh splattered all over the alchemy room.

"This is the end of this story."

However, after reading this episode, Zhou Wenwei had a look of “???” on his face.

He suddenly remembered the title of this episode - "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head to Become a Semi-Immortal"...

It was really the gathering of the three flowers at the top of his head. He had not thought about becoming a semi-immortal for the time being, so he did not care about it.

"No... Old thief Qingshan... is he really crazy?"

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch at this time, and he said, "Ah?! This mental state... Qingshan old thief is not just a relapse of his illness, right? This is... the illness is more serious than before, right? Right? Huh? "

At this moment, Zhou Wenwei was not the only one. All the fans of Lin Qingshan had similar thoughts in their minds after reading the episode "Dao Wei Yi Xian" -

"This episode... let alone drawing it, anyone who could come up with such a plot should be thrown into the best ward in a mental hospital!"
