Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 426 Stubbornness is the cause of the disease (original)

In the eyes of comic fans like Fan Siwei, the comic "Dao Weiyixian" is a bizarre work of cultivating immortals written by Lin Qingshan, in which they can immerse themselves in the perspective of a mentally ill person.

The various situations and "hallucinations" encountered by the male protagonist in the film truly explain why mentally ill people cannot distinguish between reality and illusion, and why everyone in the world of immortal cultivation is afraid of things like inner demons.

Judging from their almost immersed experience of Li Huowang's inner pain and confusion, if it were them, they would still not be able to distinguish between reality and illusion and would not be able to overcome their inner demons.

In the past, when they read comic books, they always thought that the male protagonist was so cowardly and why he couldn’t see that this was the enemy’s conspiracy.

They can easily overcome any inner demons.

But now I've watched "The Tao of Weird Immortals"...

They are really no good at it. In the script for the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, the character committed suicide on the spot and there was no follow-up at all.

When Fan Siwei saw what the old monk said to Li Huowang, he was also quite curious about whether what the old monk said was true or false.

What is the purpose of this old monk if he is telling lies?
At the beginning of the latest episode, Li Huowang was completely confused.

"I often talk to myself. What is true and what is false?"

Li Huowang's body was shaking, as if he was about to fall. An extremely bitter dry laugh appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he said.

Bai Lingmiao, Gou Wa, Sun Baolu, Chun Xiaoman, Yang Xiaohai, Gao Zhijian, Lu Zhuangyuan, Lu Juren, Lu Xiucai and so on and so forth, all the faces flashed before Li Huowang's eyes.

"Or maybe some of them are fake? Is this world real? Why is it so fake? Or is reality real? Or is this side fake?"

Such thoughts began to occur in his mind.

At this time, the monk pulled him up and continued to persuade him, "So you are the delusional Peng Zhi. Whatever happens to you is normal."

Then he proposed a method of proof, saying, "If you think he is real, then why don't you try to touch him and see for yourself? Where is the illusion monk? Come on! I'll go with you to touch him!"

Li Huowang now looked like he was completely confused. He then pointed his finger to the right, and the monk pulled him over.

This old monk was exactly the same as the old monk next to Li Huowang. There was nothing unusual about him at all, and he even cared about him for no apparent reason.

However, Li Huowang stretched out his right hand and passed through the old monk.

It was obvious that this old monk, like Danyangzi and Yingzi, was just an illusion, which also confirmed that what the other old monk said was true.

Fan Siwei suddenly realized that this was the case.

The so-called Xinsu is Peng Zhi in the Taoist method of beheading the three corpses to become an immortal, so Li Huowang keeps having hallucinations and cannot distinguish between reality and illusion.

But... Li Huowang is Peng Zhi in the immortal who killed three corpses, so who is that immortal? And where is he?
Just when he thought he finally understood what Li Huowang meant and began to guess where the so-called immortal was.

At this time, the old monk who claimed to be Peng Jiao, one of the three corpses, continued, "How is it? Did you get through? See, I am the real one, and what I said is also true! You are Peng Zhi! You are not Li Huowang, we must join forces to--"

However, the next moment, he looked at Li Huowang in disbelief, who seemed to be listening to him with his head down.

because……

In the comics, Li Huowang took out the Siqi Youjia Purple-Sui Sword at this moment, and the blade had already sunk into the old monk's stomach.

Blood began to stain his tattered monk's robes.

This also confused comic fans such as Fan Siwei.

what?
Why would someone kill someone just because of a disagreement?

Could it be that... there is something wrong with this old monk, and Li Huowang discovered it?

As a result, in the old monk's gradually weakening confusion, Li Huowang said like a madman with red eyes, "You are right in every point. He is indeed a fake, but I am not Peng Zhi, I am Li Huowang."

"I have no basis. I am Li Huowang and I don't need any reason! I don't need any logic either. I am Li Huowang!"

"So what if what you said is true! So what if you are Peng Jiao!"

"I don't care! I am Li Huowang! I am the Li Huowang they care about! No one else can take me away!!"

Li Huowang just... doesn't want to admit that he is not Li Huowang. He is Li Huowang, the Li Huowang of Yang Na and his mother Sun Xiaoqin in the real world, and the Li Huowang of Bai Lingmiao here.

He didn't want to admit anything more than that.

Actually... he killed the old monk just because of this. Li Huowang is really crazy...

Maybe before, he may have had cognitive impairment because of his so-called ability of the mind element to travel between the two worlds, which led to his display of "mental illness" symptoms and he was misdiagnosed as a mental patient.

but now……

He is already mentally ill.

After the experience where Qingfeng Temple personally delivered those medicinal leads to Danyangzi to make the elixir, every subsequent experience pushed him deeper into the abyss of madness.

This was even more true of the experience on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, which made him willing to indulge in the illusion even if he knew that it was all an illusion.

So what if it’s an illusion?

There is nothing wrong with the world of illusion. No matter how real the cruel reality is, Li Huowang does not want the so-called real world.

That's why he was in such a mess on his way back from the Nestorian Church.

Fan Siwei immediately thought of many classic characters played by Lin Qingshan, including David and Mann in "Edgewalker", Agni in "Fist of Fire", Denji in "Chainsaw Man", and even Yutai in "Goodbye Eri"... they were all like this.

David and Mann, knowing that they are about to become cyberpsychopaths, are unwilling to give up. Even if they become cyberpsychopaths, they will continue to carry powerful prostheses to protect others in the team.

Agni in "The Fire Fist" was willing to deceive himself and believe it even though he knew that his sister "Luna" was Yoda in disguise. He also gave up his identity as the "Fire Fist" and became the "brother".

Although Denji looks optimistic and does not appear to be as miserable as the other protagonists, when Makima finally reveals the deepest secret in his heart, people know that he is actually the real murderer who killed his alcoholic and domestically violent father.

At the same time he kept it all hidden, and when Makima revealed the secret, he always took it as true.

Yutai in "Goodbye Eri" used an almost deceptive method to film the best sides of his mother and Eri for his own obsession.

Fan Siwei seemed to suddenly understand that the biggest cause of mental illness was not hallucinations or so-called tragic experiences, but because...

Stubborn.

The most seriously ill mental patient is not the one who has all kinds of hallucinations in front of his eyes, but the one who stubbornly believes that he is right.

The former will take medicine and accept treatment obediently, while the latter will ignore it and be stubborn to the end, and then the condition will worsen further.

Finally, there are people like Li Huowang, who kill people "for no reason" because of his obsession.

"Old Thief Qingshan... This feels like the most realistic portrayal of a mentally ill person."

Fan Siwei even began to doubt Lin Qingshan, muttering to himself, "Could he have really been in a mental hospital...otherwise why would he be so skilled?"

There have been rumors online that Qingshan Laozei had been to a mental hospital, but most people were just joking.

After all, although everyone knows Lin Qingshan’s past experiences, it is not an exaggeration to think that Lin Qingshan has become a mental patient because of this.

But it is possible that he has never been admitted to a mental hospital in the past.

After all, the timing doesn't match.

But now...

"Could it be that the mysterious scene that Qingshan Laozi used to be a Taoist priest is actually a mental hospital hidden in the deep mountains and forests?"

Suddenly, Fan Siwei had this thought and said, "Otherwise it doesn't make sense. This old thief Qingshan must have been in a mental hospital! He must have been!"

He was very curious and even decided to find some time to visit the so-called mysterious scene.

He continued reading the comics. Li Huowang's condition was getting worse and there was no turning back.

"If the Li Huowang that Yang Na and the others care about really exists, then I just need to find him and kill him! As long as I kill him, Li Huowang's identity will be mine!"

Li Huowang said this even more crazily.

Is this something that the protagonist could say? Doesn't this make him an evil villain?

And he killed the old monk for no reason because of his stubbornness.

Fan Siwei still thinks the old monk is a bit miserable...

However, after the old monk breathed his last inexplicably, he looked like he was already dead.

but……

"Hey... you crazy idiot, why are you like this? I was clearly deceiving you, why didn't you follow the routine? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

The dead monk suddenly spoke, and his round head quickly shrank a few times to become a square, and the facial features and wrinkles quickly turned into two swirling circles hanging on the square head.

This weird face that looks like a bloody mahjong...

The style of painting is almost identical to that of the six elders of the Nestorian Church. Could it be that...

"Hahaha!! I knew I guessed right, you are a liar! You are a liar - No! You are not a liar! You are Zuowang Dao! You are Erbing!"

Li Huowang suddenly understood and said happily.

Since the old monk was pretending to be a Zuowang Taoist and deceiving him, then he was definitely right. He was not Peng Zhi, but the real Li Huowang!

Suddenly, Li Huowang and his companions began to fight with the Nuo opera actors and bandits led by Zuowangdao Erbing.

"Da Qian Lu...Ji Ya Da Zhan!"

Li Huowang began to attack with Daqianlu.

Here Lin Qingshan made a little tweak and gave a more straightforward name to the attack method that did not have a move name in the original Daqianlu.

After all, the actions alone in the comics are incomprehensible, so they must be accompanied by move names to allow fans to understand more clearly what is happening.

The magical powers that Lin Qingshan modified in the current Daqianlu are named as follows: ①
Sacrifice your front teeth and use them as bullets. The bullets will flash red and fly like meteors, and can cut the enemy's "sacrificial tooth bullets".

After sacrificing the posterior molar, the large tooth will roll and explode into large pieces of broken bones, which can cut the enemy with a more powerful "Sacrificial Tooth Chop".

Sacrifice the nail, peel off the flesh, and shoot the "sacrificial nail bullet" towards the enemy with blood.

Sacrifice the little finger and turn it into a long blood-red cone to stab the enemy with the "Sacrificial Finger Blood Cone".

The finger is sacrificed, and its severed finger rapidly swells and the bone pierces the flesh, spinning like a long dart and flying towards the enemy as a "sacrificial finger dart".

The "Marrow-breaking Curse" can cause the enemy's front limbs to be broken simultaneously by sacrificing the bone marrow of one side of the forearm.

After sacrificing the arm, the broken arm can then be used like a flying sword to burrow underground, fly, grab the enemy, or transform into a tentacle to restrain the enemy.

After sacrificing flesh and blood, the flesh and blood will cover the enemy like a big net, which is a means of control called "Renmu Xinzhai".

After sacrificing the eyeballs, strange lights will radiate, and it will have the effect of immobilizing and seeing through evil spirits, illusions, mental attacks, etc. It also has the "clairvoyance" that can select targets with a slow range.

Sacrifice the skin of the whole body, ignite the skin and the whole body is on fire, spread the flames to burn the opponent to death, and control the fire to create the "Jewish Fire House".

Sacrifice the five internal organs to gain a short period of invincibility. The gaps in the body will be filled by worms, and the injured parts can be repaired by worms. Worms can also be used as a means of attack, which is called "intercalary five elements".

And the most powerful one, the "Cang Xie Deng Ladder", which can summon Baqi. ①
In the comics, when Li Huowang faced the two cakes of Zuwang Dao, he did not hesitate to use the magical power of Daqianlu.

However, Erbing was really difficult to deal with. There were also the bandits and Nuo opera actors who had been deceived by her, who all blocked him as if they had a deep hatred for Li Huowang.

Then, Li Huowang saw Erbing in the crowd laughing strangely.

"It's really interesting... Hehe, that's it. How can it be fun if a few people don't die~"

Erbing laughed and took out two decks of black Pai Gow from his sleeves.

Holding the cards in one hand, he began to chant with the other hand, "Seven and eight, don't play nine~ Nine is a poisonous hand~ Four gold and five silver, a small stool, put heaven and earth together, four, five, six when meeting water~"

The two decks of cards began to soften and stretch, and fell to the ground through the cracks between his fingernails like mud, and burrowed into the soil.

However, just when he was halfway through playing Pai Gow, a scene that Erbing could never have imagined occurred.

An arm with only three fingers suddenly broke out of the ground, carrying two soft Pai Gow coins, and with a "puff", it went straight into Erbing's abdomen.

"Da Qian Lu... Arm Control Technique."

Li Huowang, who was in the distance, hugged his empty left shoulder and looked at her.

He sacrificed his arm and controlled the broken arm like a flying sword, then when Erbing was about to use his magical powers, he escaped underground and killed Erbing with one blow!

I have to say... this method of attack is really unexpected and makes my scalp tingle.

Just like that, Erbing was captured by Li Huowang and seriously injured.

At the same time, with the joint efforts of Bai Lingmiao and Chun Xiaoman, all the Nuo opera actors and bandits who followed Erbing to attack them were killed.

Li Huowang began to interrogate Erbing and even used torture to extract a confession.

But his methods of punishment seemed nothing to Erbing.

On the contrary, the more he tortured her, the happier she became. Li Huowang suddenly became angry and even tore off her bloody face.

However, under the bloody skin, there was still a mahjong face.

"Zuwang Dao... I want to see how many faces you have!"

Li Huowang became furious and continued to torture Erbing.

But Erbing laughed even louder, and as several faces quickly switched, Erbing turned into a new face again.

This is her real face.

at this time……

Yingzi's illusion beside Li Huowang came out. She looked at Erbing's constantly changing face, and suddenly her mind flashed with the face of the elder Jianxi she had seen when she was in the Nestorian Church...

It turns out that the face of the elder Jianxi in Yingzi's memory is exactly the same as a certain face in Erbing's transformation...

So, she said to Li Huowang, "Li Huowang, wait a minute, can you help me ask her a question?"

Li Huowang looked at Jiang Yingzi, who was his hallucination, in surprise. He stopped torturing Erbing and said, "You..."

"This is the end of this story."

Fan Siwei was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion, "Ah? Is this the end?"

After reading this chapter, he resolved his previous doubts about what the old monk said, but now... he had new doubts.

What is the purpose of these two cakes? And what is the connection with the six elders of the Nestorian Church who should also be the Zuowang Dao...

Also, what did Yingzi discover, and what is Yingzi herself like?
Seeing as she can still recall what's going on, it shouldn't be an illusion.

But if Yingzi is not hallucinating, then Danyangzi is definitely not hallucinating either, so Li Huowang is still very dangerous.

The result... is this the end?

"Damn it... the plot is interrupted here. I feel so uncomfortable."

Fan Siwei couldn't help but complain.

Then he clicked on another comic in his collection - "Jujutsu Kaisen".

"Forget it, go read other comics."

He was a little depressed, but soon started watching "Jujutsu Kaisen" with great interest.
