Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 425 Obtaining the Sword Monk and Slaying the Three Corpses (Original)

However, when Li Huowang returned to the vicinity of Anci Temple, he looked extremely miserable.

But it wasn't because he was attacked, but...

"Mom, I swallowed it, I really swallowed it. I'm not a child, are you afraid that I'm picky about food... hehe~"

When Bai Lingmiao and others found Li Huowang, he was covered in dust and looked like a beggar. He was sitting on the ground covered with dead leaves, smiling at a spider web on a tree.

"Crack, click, click..."

He was holding a long stone in his hand and chewing on it. His teeth collided violently with the stone, making a sound, and several teeth fell to the side, but he did not stop even when his mouth was full of blood.

The local dog named Mantou was standing nearby, looking at Li Huowang and seemed helpless.

There's even a sense of helplessness in its eyes, as if to say, "I'm just a dog, what can I do?"

It seemed that Li Huowang came back in the process of "falling ill" along the way, and fortunately, he received the blessing of "Baqi's Gaze" because of the previous two [Cangxie Ascends the Stairs].

Although the five senses have become more sensitive, he has gained the ability to accelerate the regeneration of the body.

All the injuries on his body could heal quickly, and even his knocked-out teeth could grow back.

However, due to the sensation caused by "Matou Ghoul", the original work of which was created by Lin Qingshan, many comic fans feel that the male protagonists of these two works are too similar.

They all have extremely powerful regenerative abilities in their bodies, and they are all... crazy.

It’s just that Li Huowang went crazy because of his special physique as a "heart element" that allowed him to travel to this strange world.

In the end, Kaneki was tortured crazy by the gecko and had hallucinations. After enduring tremendous mental pain, he embraced the fact that he was a ghoul. At the same time, he was not afraid of the pain and after turning three times stronger, he fought violence and killed the gecko.

Then, because both are works of Lin Qingshan, Lin Qingshan's fans have forced the conclusion that the two are somewhat similar.

At the same time, comic fans formally proposed the four most painful male protagonists in Lin Qingshan's works, namely - David in "Edgewalker", Agni in "Fist of Fire", Li Huowang in the currently serialized "Tao Weiyixian", and Kaneki in "Magical Ghoul".

Moreover, these four male protagonists are not only the four most painful male protagonists in Lin Qingshan’s current works, but also the four most painful male protagonists in all current comic works.

Even though there are actually many dark and cruel works in the comics industry of this parallel world, let’s be honest, none of them torture the male protagonists as badly as the four works copied by Lin Qingshan...

In the end, David lost all his companions and went crazy. He then used his death to ensure the survival of the heroine Lucy and the driver Falco.

Agni lost his younger sister and older sister. Because of his regenerative ability, his body is always burning with fire, but he is forced to survive again and again. In the process, he constantly faces the contradiction between his own sin and sense of justice, as well as the pain of having to live like this...

Li Huowang endures the pain of being able to travel between two worlds at any time and having to survive. He also has to endure discrimination from others who regard him as a mental patient. In addition, he also feels guilty towards his girlfriend Yang Na and his family, which makes him conflicted and painful to the extreme.

Kaneki lost both his parents when he was young. He was supposed to live as an ordinary person, but he became an inhuman monster in an accident. Later, he was captured by the gecko and tortured constantly. He even killed the people who helped him in front of him, and made him think that it was his fault for being too indecisive. His body and mind suffered inhuman torture...

Just thinking about it makes me feel that this kind of experience is too painful. Even if a person has a strong psychological endurance, he or she will suffer to the point of mental breakdown after experiencing this.

So once this statement came out, everyone quickly agreed with it.

Some people also sighed that it is not easy to become the protagonist in Qingshan Laozei's novel.

However, I wonder what would happen if the protagonist created by Aoyama Laozei knew that his tragic experience was made up by a cartoonist.

If Lin Qingshan knew about this he would only say - No, buddy, I'm just a plagiarist.

Back to the plot of "The Tao of Immortals", although Li Huowang returned to Anci Temple in a somewhat embarrassed manner, after meeting Master Jingxin and confirming that there was no Danyangzi in Li Huowang's body, Li Huowang finally felt relieved.

It seems that those guys from the Nestorian Church were not lying. The reason he could see Danyangzi and Yingzi was just because he was "Xinsu" and it was just an illusion. It was not real.

At the same time, Li Huowang planned to continue his journey and send Bai Lingmiao and other companions who escaped from Qingfeng Temple together and those who failed to escape back to their hometowns.

And after everything is over, his journey will continue, but the purpose of this journey will be...

To find a solution to the problem.

Although Master Jingxin said a few words after hearing this, she still hoped that Li Huowang could really find a way to solve Xinsu's problem.

So she sold Li Huowang a sword. In the cartoon, there was a long sword standing diagonally in a filthy corner. The whole sword was three feet and two long like a rice ear, half a finger wide, and the whole sword was dark in color. On the purple-black hilt, there was a dark purple silk more than an inch long.

There is a ferocious beast on the hilt of the sword with its fangs bared. When you touch it with your hand, it feels like your fingers are cut.

This has appeared in the plot before. In order to requisition An Ci'an's cart of gold, silver and jewelry, the general You Zixiong of the Four Qi states pledged his sword to An Ci'an as collateral.

And this long sword is really a great treasure. It is a military weapon that can cut through iron like mud and kill evil spirits. However, military weapons carry "evil spirit" with them. Ordinary people will be affected by the evil spirit of Khorne and their personalities will change drastically just by drawing the sword.

But just because Li Huowang is a person of heart, he is not affected by the negative effects of this powerful military weapon.

At the same time, when Li Huowang asked what forces and monks he should be wary of in this world, Master Jingxin originally said nothing.

But when the conversation was about to end, she remembered that there was another group of people that Li Huowang really needed to be careful of.

That is……

The guy named Zuowangdao.

Li Huowang suddenly became very curious. Why didn't Master Jingxin mention the Zuowang Dao when other sects didn't mention it? So he continued to ask.

So, Master Jingxin answered:

"When other people do something, whether it's robbing you or killing you, there are always reasons for it, but the Way of Forgetting is completely different."

"This group of Zuowang Dao is a bunch of scammers who like to play with money."

"Zuowang Dao is not a bandit who occupies the mountain and rules as king, nor is it a cultivation sect. No one knows what that group of people are. The only thing that is certain is that they like to play, and for the sake of playing, they have no taboos."

"Besides playing with money, these scammers love playing with people the most."

"For example, they once pretended to be the emperor's eunuchs and tricked a whole city of men into castrating themselves. They did this just to amuse themselves out of boredom."

"And they are not just a bunch of gamblers. I don't know where they got some of their magical powers from. They are very strange and difficult to deal with."

"Besides that, their most skilled trick is so powerful that it can even fool me."

"Last time, a monk from Zuowang Taoism sneaked into Anci Temple and tried to trick us into breaking our vows. Fortunately, we found him and he finally came to his senses and converted to Buddhism."

"Remember, the people in Zuowang Dao are not afraid of death. Don't get stuck with them, or else there will be more and more of them."

"They even dare to deceive you?"

“Well~! Not only do they dare to deceive me, they even want to deceive God! I heard that a hundred years ago, there was a group of people who practiced the Way of Zuowang. They devoted themselves to studying the Way for more than thirty years and actually deceived the God of Joy.” When Master Jingxin talked about the “Waiting for the Future”, it reminded the fans of the six elders of the Nestorian Church in the previous plot who had said the three words “Waiting for the Future”.

And when Li Huowang said goodbye to them at the end, they laughed happily and said a few words, "He believed it, he really believed it."

Suddenly, the fans understood.

It seems that the six flesh-and-blood mahjong-faced elders of the Ao Jingjiao are the so-called Zuowang Dao, and Li Huowang was really deceived by them.

However, at the beginning, comic fans thought that they lied to Li Huowang that Danyangzi had been solved, but in fact, the illusion of Danyangzi was real and had not been removed yet.

But after returning to Anci Temple, Master Jingxin confirmed that Danyangzi had really been dealt with.

This is indeed true. Master Jingxin said that Danyangzi was killed by the Nestorianists.

This time, people are very confused again.

What exactly did these Zuowang Taoists, who were warned by Master Jingxin to be careful about, deceive Li Huowang about?

But no matter what, the problem must be the hallucination of Danyangzi and Yingzi that Li Huowang saw later.

And for some reason, Li Huowang didn't think of the six elders of the Nestorian Sect from the words that Master Jingxin reminded him about the "Zuowang Dao" group.

At the same time, Li Huowang learned from Master Jingxin about the concepts of immortals, Buddhas, the so-called five realms of Buddhism, and the Penglai fairyland.

In this world, the Three Pure Ones of Qingfeng Temple, the Five Wisdom Tathagatas of Zhengde Temple, the Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, etc. enshrined in Anci Temple, as well as the God of Happiness mentioned by Master Jingxin, are all within the five realms of Buddhism.

Or it could be said to be in the Penglai fairyland.

Danyangzi's hallucination was making trouble, talking about Taoist terms like "immortal world" and "Nantianmen".

It seems that this is only because of the difference between cultivating immortals and cultivating Buddhas, so the statements are also slightly different. In fact, the immortal world and the Buddhist world are the same.

Then Li Huowang and his friends bid farewell to Master Jingxin and Anci Temple.

Afterwards, while going down the mountain to look for the escort agency, he met the wife of the escort agency's head who was possessed by evil spirits.

But after Li Huowang found out that it was a psychological problem and cured it, he got a guarantee letter from the escort agency and became an escort, which enabled him to earn extra income while on the road.

Then Li Huowang and Chun Xiaoman learned the Duan swordsmanship of the escort agency together.

He also learned about the current situation of the world and a special existence called Tianshi from the conversation with the escort.

Then Li Huowang set off again, preparing to go to another country in this world - Hou Shu.

At the same time, during a casual conversation with Lu Zhuangyuan, I learned that there was a very strange drama in the native land of Hou Shu, called Nuo Opera.

But Li Huowang didn't care at that time. After all, he was just an opera singer, not a shaman like Li Zhi who had extraordinary powers.

Then, after they entered Hou Shu, they actually saw people performing Nuo opera, and then... Li Huowang unexpectedly met an old acquaintance again.

The old monk who had once had a friendship with him in Zhengde Temple, who looked quite clean before, now looked sloppy and like a beggar.

This old monk was not one of the happy monks in Zhengde Temple, so Li Huowang was not on guard.

Then, after delivering the ashes of a Taoist boy to his relatives, he parted ways with the old monk, and they stayed in a local inn that night.

Just late at night...

With the reminder from the two gods Bai Lingmiao, Li Huowang discovered that someone was coming to attack.

The man wore a copper coin mask, but his method of attack was very strange. He pasted a shadow puppet used in shadow play on the wallpaper. The whole thing looked like a spider, with a face like an old man's New Year picture, six arms with barbs, and solid tentacles with complex patterns like window grilles that retracted in and out from the inside.

Li Huowang immediately pulled out the military sword that Master Jingxin had sold to him. The strange enemy was immediately scared away and told Li Huowang that this was the sword of the Siqi You family.

However, Li Huowang did not relax his vigilance at all in the next few days. After meeting the old monk again, he no longer believed in the old monk, but warned the old monk not to follow him again.

Then, Li Huowang met again the man who was wearing the copper coin mask and wanted to attack him that night.

This time he directly used the attack method of Daqianlu, and with the reminder from the old monk who appeared again, he defeated the enemy.

At this time, the old monk next to him took off the copper coin mask on his face and put it in his pocket.

But... when Li Huowang questioned the old monk about his true identity, he got an answer that shocked him.

"Actually, I'm not a monk, and you're not Li Huowang. These are other people's identities, and we just temporarily replaced them."

The old monk said with certainty, "Actually, your name is Peng Zhi, and mine is Peng Jiao. We are not real people. Our true identities are the three corpses of others!"

He then helped Li Huowang dodge a crossbow arrow and continued, "Do you know the Three Corpses of Taoism? Anyone who wants to become an immortal must cut off his own Three Corpses. We are the Three Corpses that are cut off!"

"The upper corpse of Peng Hou is Dan Yangzi, the middle corpse of Peng Zhi is you, and the lower corpse of Peng Jiao is me!"

"Dan Yangzi has been killed, and next will be the two of us! So we must join forces to have a chance of survival!"

Li Huowang was still half-believing and half-doubting, but at this time, the old monk continued to let Li Huowang look at him with a sincere look and said -

"The upper corpse worm is called Penghou. It lives inside people's heads and makes them stupid and foolish, without wisdom."

"The corpse worm is called Pengzhi. It lives in the human chest and makes people feel troubled and delusional, unable to be at peace."

"The corpse worm is called Peng Jiao. It lives in the human stomach and makes people indulge in extravagance, evil deeds and obscenity."

"Each of us has our own nature, but you see, I have completely gotten rid of my nature. My nature wants me to do evil, but I want to do good!"

"My nature wants me to be extravagant and lewd, but I want to be a poor monk! My fate is in my own hands!"

"I know that Peng Zhi is suspicious and delusional by nature, but Taoist priest, this is your nature. You must get rid of your nature like me! Only in this way can we defeat the man who intends to become an immortal and gain freedom!"

What the old monk said seemed to be true. Later, the old monk "proved" that he was the only monk, and Bai Lingmiao and Chun Xiaoman also proved it. Li Huowang really began to doubt whether it was really as the old monk said...

……

Last week’s plot ended here. Even comic fans like Fan Siwei were confused. Was what the old monk said true or false?
Why is it that what he said is so serious and it seems to be true? And I really can't figure out what is going on with the protagonist now...

Finally, the weekly update of "Daoguiyixian" was released, and Fan Siwei immediately clicked on the latest episode to read it.
