Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 472: Super Evil Cultivation (Original)

By performing [Cang Xie Deng Jie], with the help of Baqi, Li Huowang finally broke through the dilemma of life and death.

The group escaped from the karma, but only Tuoba Danqing stayed there forever.

Ji Xiang and his friends all told Li Huowang the same story, that it was Tuoba Danqing who ran too slowly when he escaped and was eventually left behind.

Although he was a little confused as they were all fleeing together so why was he the only one to stay there, Li Huowang believed what they said.

What is the truth behind this, comic fans all know it.

However, after this battle, Ji Xiang looked at Li Huowang with new respect, a great master who could even break through the desperate situation created by the Life and Death Mind Turbidity.

Not only did they become respectful, but their respect was mixed with a hint of servility.

After all, he had said before that when life and death collided with each other, even Zhuge Yuan would not be able to resolve this fatal situation.

However, Li Huowang took direct action to resolve this dilemma. Doesn't that mean he is more powerful than Zhuge Yuan?

Besides, it was Li Huowang who saved his life, so of course he paid special attention to Li Huowang.

What if Li Huowang’s help is needed later?
Although he appears to be arrogant at first but respectful later, it makes people want to laugh.

But I have to say that this eunuch is really good at remembering faces.

On the way back, Li Huowang learned another setting about this world while interacting with Bai Lingmiao.

That is the ten emotions and eight sufferings. According to the immortals above Bai Lingmiao, all human beings are made up of the ten emotions and eight sufferings.

"If we must put it in words, humans are made up of ten emotions and eight sufferings. The ten emotions are joy, anger, sorrow, greed, hatred, delusion, fear, love, and hatred. The eight sufferings are birth, aging, sickness, death, meeting with those we hate, separation from our flesh, and failure to obtain what we desire. The five aggregates are abundant."

Bai Lingmiao leaned against Li Huowang's body and said, "Everyone has emotions and sufferings. Some people have more, some have less, but everyone has them. No matter who wants to do something, it is all caused by these things."

The reason why Bai Lingmiao and other shamans have two gods is because the immortals separated Bai Lingmiao's ten emotions. Originally, the immortals used Bai Lingmiao's hidden ten emotions and added some of their own scattered things to finally mix them into two gods.

But the so-called eight sufferings are shared by them all.

Seeing this in the comic, Feng Yiyuan finally became familiar with it and said, "This is the concept of the Ten Emotions and Eight Sufferings in Buddhism... But being able to use the Ten Emotions to create another person should be a magical power to refine an incarnation."

These Buddhist concepts are still more popular, and when Buddhism was introduced to the Republic, it was actually adapted for localization.

For example, the Zen Buddhism of later generations integrated some concepts of Taoism and Confucianism into Buddhism.

So in fact, some of the concepts and terms of Buddhism are originally part of the culture of the Republic.

Feng Yiyuan naturally knew the conclusion that Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism were converging towards the unity, so it didn't matter whether the Ten Emotions and Eight Sufferings were actually from Buddhism or Taoism.

The important thing is that in this comic, this should be a very important setting.

According to Lin Qingshan’s past creative ideas, this would definitely not be as simple as just mentioning it.

It's just that we don't know what its specific function is yet.

After returning to Yinling City, Li Huowang was promoted to the position of Geng Banner as he wished.

He then obtained more information about Zuowang Dao, such as there really was a Beifeng in Zuowang Dao who had the same heart as him!

It was precisely because he was Xinsu that he could use the confusion in his heart to dispel the obsession that increased with age. He eventually lived to be 194 years old!

Not only that, judging from the fact that Jiantiansi has been dealing with him for such a long time, Beifeng really does have a way to get rid of the illusion!

Li Huowang finally had hope, and it was not only him who had his hope rekindled.

The lives of the friends in Niuxin Village have also improved now. Lu Zhuangyuan even accepted a new apprentice to take over the troupe.

Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao embarked on a journey again. This time they were going to Shangjing, the capital of Daliang State.

If he wanted to obtain more records about Zuowang Dao, Beifeng and Xinsu, he had to go to the Tianjiansi in Shangjing.

After arriving at Jiantiansi safely, Li Huowang met Ji Xiang again.

Prime Minister Ji told him some of the rights he would have after becoming the Chief of the Heavenly Supervisory Bureau, and also left him an unexpected treasure.

That is the human tongue Ruyi made from the Xinsu tongue, which can make the other person confused by waving it.

They also witnessed a unique beheading ceremony of the "Emperor of Daliang" in the vegetable market.

The prisoner named "Ji Man" claims to be the Emperor of Daliang, like a big shot who lost in the power struggle.

But he was still beheaded, and after his death, the ignorant people still wanted to take advantage of his death.

Li Huowang just sighed a little bit. This world is so crazy, especially in the pursuit of immortality, people will really do anything.

Afterwards, he went to find a military disciple named Cao Baihu, who had a way to expel the evil spirit from Bai Lingmiao's body and restore her to normal.

However, under Bai Lingmiao's pleading, Li Huowang couldn't bear it and did not expel the evil spirit from Bai Lingmiao's body.

Instead, he let her touch the Taia sword again, causing the evil spirit to re-enter her body, making her temperament even more arrogant.

Then, Li Huowang came to the Tianjian Division in Shangjing and came into contact with Sima Lan, a disciple of the Mohist school in this world.

But according to Sima Lan, the Mohist disciples in this world are divided into Qi Mo and Liang Mo.

Among them, Liang Mo is an evil sect that is despised and avoided by people.

Qi Mo is a normal disciple of the Mohist school.

Under the guidance of Sima Lan, Li Huowang found someone who helped to review the documents of the Jiantian Division, and found more documents and records about Zuowang Dao, Beifeng and Xinsu.

But Sima Lan's return at this time seemed to arouse his suspicion.

Fortunately, Li Huowang took out the human tongue Ruyi made from Xinsu's tongue and found an excuse to fool people.

At the same time, he also learned a lot of information about Xinsu from Sima Lan.

"According to what the master said, ordinary people have ten emotions and eight sufferings, but Xin Su is different. In addition to the ten emotions and eight sufferings, he also has an additional innate Qi."

"The Taishi changes and takes shape. The shape has substance, but it has not yet become a body. This is called the Heart Essence. The Heart Essence has the innate Qi, which is very amazing. The ten emotions and eight sufferings of the Heart Essence can be transformed into the Taishi and merged with the Heavenly Dao."

"If you were to be tough with Xin Su and push him to the most difficult time, if he used his innate Qi, even gods and immortals would be unable to save him."

"At that time, he can move mountains and seas, call the wind and rain, all with just a thought!"

These words contained too much information, making it difficult for Li Huowang to understand.

Comic fans thought of Xinzhuo, after all, Xinzhuo and Xinsu are both special physical conditions with the same name.

Xinzhuo has that strange karma-related supernatural power, so it is impossible for Xinsu to not have other supernatural powers that he can control freely.

However, at the beginning, many comic fans thought that Xinsu's ability was Li Huowang's ability to travel back and forth between the two worlds with his consciousness, as well as the ability to shift shape and change his appearance that he developed later.

After all, Master Jingxin's son is the same.

"It shouldn't be that simple. My memories say that Heart Element and Heart Turbidity are both difficult to deal with. It's impossible that Heart Turbidity is that difficult to deal with. Brother Huozi's Heart Element can only do simple things like consciousness shuttle and shape-shifting."

"It is said that Xinsu and Xinzhuo are the great disasters of the Xin generation. There is really no reason why Xinsu is so weak."

"According to Taoism, Xiantian Yiqi refers to the original Qi that gave birth to the heavens, the earth, and all things. It is the basic quality that constitutes the heavens, the earth, and all things, that is, the one that Tao gave birth to." "So, does this mean that you can change freely? As long as Brother Huozi masters this, he can change into anything he wants?"

"It's not just as simple as wanting to change into something. It's possible to move mountains and seas, call the wind and rain, all in a single thought. It should be more than just a magical power of transformation, but a magical power of one thought, one world."

"Could it be that this is the case? That's why Li Huowang said that people who left a deep impression on him would become his hallucinations after death. He even said that Dan Yangzi became an immortal in the beginning... It was also because of Brother Huozi's ability!"

"It's possible! Didn't Brother Huozi compile a set of small Zhoutian exercises for Danyangzi in order to gain his trust? Danyangzi didn't doubt it after practicing it, probably because of this ability..."

"Good fellow! What you practice makes it come true! And the immortality elixir recipe that follows also came true because of Brother Huozi's ability. Dan Yangzi became a semi-immortal by accident!"

"That finally makes sense, but... all of you who can guess what a mentally ill person is thinking are definitely mentally ill! Don't leave, I'll call and send you all in one by one!"

……

As the plot of "The Taoist Immortal" progresses, more circumstantial evidence of the plot and settings allows fans to gradually guess the answers to some of the settings.

After all, there are so many smart people in this world, and with more people, the possibility of guessing is greater.

The more people there are, the greater the probability of guessing it.

It's like Shakespeare's monkey theory. Given enough time, monkeys can also compose Shakespeare's plays.

Especially "Tao Wei Yi Xian" is actually still inseparable from the settings of the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Settings such as the ten emotions and eight sufferings and the innate qi also make it easier for comic fans to guess what Xinsu's abilities will be.

Li Huowang then went to the Tianjiansi to look for some information about Zhuge Yuan.

He wanted to know what kind of person Zhuge Yuan was, but Zhuge Yuan was issued an imperial decree by the Daliang Emperor: "Storyteller Zhuge Yuan, who spread rumors and misled the people, shall be exterminated along with his entire clan."

The Daliang Kingdom also wanted to kill Zhuge Yuan.

Apart from this, there is no more information about Zhuge Yuan.

But now, Li Huowang has come to believe that Zhuge Yuan is one of the few good people in this crazy world.

"See you later, Erjiu. I am Zhuge Yuan. If you encounter any troubles that you cannot solve, please remember to come to Xingdao in the West Sea to find me. Although my ability is limited, I will try my best to help me."

This was Zhuge Yuan's original words. Li Huowang knew that he couldn't completely trust others, but what if? What if he could really help him?
So he embarked on a journey to Xingdao Island in the West Sea to visit Zhuge Yuan.

But before that, Li Huowang made up his mind...

Since Xinsu's body organs can be used to refine magic weapons, he can also regenerate his body.

Then why didn't he use his own body organs to refine the weapon?
It can only be said that Li Huowang's idea really dumbfounded the comic fans.

It was the first time that comic fans had seen such a crazy protagonist. Not only did he cut open his own stomach, but he also used his own body organs to refine weapons.

It's really outrageous.

"It's still the same sentence. You are worthy of being me, old thief Qingshan!"

"Thinking about it carefully, this is really the style of Qingshan Laozi. In Edgewalker, he casually played with mechanical transformation and cybernetics, in Flame Fist, he imitated Buddha's behavior to save people, in Chainsaw Man, he also sacrificed his body in exchange for power, and in Tao Weiyixian, I used my own weapon to refine..."

"I can only say that, in comparison, Parasyte seems much more normal?"

"Parasyte is normal, right? Oh, that's true. Compared to these comics, how could it not be normal?"

“The Dao of Strange Immortals can be said to be the culmination of Qingshan Laozei’s work. It not only plays with blood and flesh sacrifice, but also plays with schizophrenia, cognitive impairment, and mental hallucinations. It can be said to be a culmination of mental illness.”

"This is too weird. Brother Huozi is not a normal person. I feel like he is even more evil than evil spirits."

"That's right. In other cultivation comics, Brother Huozi's style of drawing is definitely that of an evil cultivator! Even the evil cultivator leaders are not that evil! Even more evil than evil spirits!"

"As we all know, in general cultivation comics, evil spirits can be used to refine weapons, so Brother Huozi uses himself to refine weapons, which means he is also an evil spirit!"

"Brother Huozi: I am... a super evil spirit!"

"I feel like the greatest evil is the old thief Qingshan... Is this a plot that a normal person could come up with?!"

"The evil of this world is the old thief Qingshan. That's right, the old thief Qingshan is the evilest in this world!"

……

The weird and bloody plot in "The Taoist Immortal" always makes comic fans feel absurd.

It seems that the protagonist Li Huowang is no longer the protagonist, but a villain who will be killed by the real protagonist who suddenly appears sooner or later.

So, after a painful refining process that made people feel ache, Li Huowang used his own skin to refine the magic weapon [Xinsu Human Skin].

This magic weapon can save his life at the critical moment.

After everything was ready, Li Huowang came to Xingdao. Although many accidents happened along the way, he still found Zhuge Yuan safely.

The two sides had a conversation.

Zhuge Yuan first denied Li Huowang's belief that he was also Xinsu, and said, "No, although we are both from the Xin generation, I am not Xinsu, I am Xinpan."

"This word 'Pan' means that I am destined to be together with San Shen Jiu Shang in this life, regardless of life or death."

But as for what is “above the three old bodies”.

Zhuge Yuan refused to answer, but Li Huowang understood that this "three old bodies above" was a certain existence in Baiyujing.

Like Baqi, it is an indescribable immortal god from this world.

Then, Zhuge Yuan told Li Huowang a method to control his own mental abilities.

"The hallucinations in your mind are ultimately caused by your inability to control the extra innate Qi in your body. If the cultivation method described in the book can really control this innate Qi, then the hallucinations might disappear."

But he had only read it once in a book and didn't remember it.

After all, he is not Xinsu, but Xinpan.

However, he concluded that this technique was real.

"Why?"

Li Huowang asked in confusion.

"Because of Zuowang Dao's abnormality, I always wondered why Zuowang Dao always likes to torture and play with Xinsu. Playing with Xinsu is always higher than other things. They never do this to Xinpan and Xinzhuo."

"I was wondering before, could it be that the Zuowang Dao has a grudge against every Xinsu? Later I realized that if the exercises in the book are true, then they just happen to be the cultivation methods that restrain the Zuowang Dao, which also explains why they play tricks on and hate Xinsu so much."

"A cultivation method that can restrain the Zuowang Dao? Does the Zuowang Dao have a cultivation method?"

"Of course. The absurd things they did were all attempts to replace the real with the fake. All things in the world change but remain essentially the same. There are those who cultivate ghosts, Taoism, evil, and oneness. To put it bluntly, the Way of Forgetting is cultivating the fake."

"Wait, they are practicing fake, and Xinsu's skills restrain them, then what is Xinsu practicing?"

"Cultivation?!"

In the conversation between Zhuge Yuan and Li Huowang, it was revealed that Xinsu's cultivation method was called...

"Cultivation of truth".
