Chapter 176: Carriage

Chapter 176 Carriage

"Senior Brother Li, what is wrong with you?"

Seeing such a strange reaction from the other party, Bai Lingmiao was clearly frightened by Li Huowang.

She hurriedly reached out to touch him, but was startled by Li Huowang's scalding skin, his flesh was hot to the touch.

"Senior Brother Li, stop thinking, I won't ask, I won't ask!" Bai Lingmiao, rushed to tears, hugged Li Huowang tightly with both hands.

Hearing Bai Lingmiao's words, Li Huowang closed his eyes, gritting his teeth and struggling desperately to think.

Struggling within his mind, those fragments that had been deliberately hidden began to piece themselves together continuously.

Assembling a scroll that merely thinking about it could suffocate a person, some things that should have been forgotten surfaced from the water once more.

That scroll was moving yet still, he intended to use words the other could understand as much as possible to try and speak it out.

"Behind that jade pendant, in that place possibly called Baiyu Jing, I saw some things, some things I cannot describe, they are huge, and also..... cold!!"

Li Huowang's words were hoarse and heavy, and his speech was intermittent, chaotic before and after.

Speaking to this point, even Li Huowang's body involuntarily began to tremble once again.

"That place is not meant for humans..... humans who go there will be taken, have what belongs to them taken by them, humans are pieced together by them! When nothing is left to take, just like Danyangzi! Completely disappear!"

"Later something, inside Baiyu Jing! Was.... attracting me! I went over! I saw the entire world! I felt it! I felt what it was thinking!!"

Besides Bai Lingmiao's hands, suddenly another pair of hands reached from behind, binding Li Huowang's forehead.

Those hands, like a constricting headband spell, squeezed tighter and tighter, this pressure let the headache-splitting Li Huowang feel a rare trace of ease.

At this moment Li Huowang had no time to think whose hands those were, he could only grit his teeth and continue speaking.

"I can understand it! Do you know? I can understand what it is thinking!! It cannot be others! It must be me! Only I can understand it! Because it is mad!"

Just as he said this, Li Huowang seemed to feel, that scroll within his mind began to gradually slip out of his control.

Some things on the scroll began to peek at him from within that scroll.

"I saw its past, its past was not.... not like this! It was originally good! It is crying!! It is screaming!!"

"Who is it?" A cold female voice came from behind Li Huowang.

The blood vessels on Li Huowang's head pumped, as if they were about to burst at any moment.

Li Huowang exerted all his strength to shout out the things inside his head. "Da Nuo! It is called Da Nuo!"

Once these words were out, the atmosphere inside the carriage began to turn eerie, the warm quilt seemed unable to block the cold air from outside.

Some extremely vague murmurs appeared in everyone's ears, outside the carriage came the neighing of horses, and Mantou's barking.

Li Huowang knew, that was not Da Nuo, Da Nuo was mad, it could not pay attention to him, what noticed him were some other things.

"Get lost!" With a low shout from Li Huowang, the surroundings suddenly cleared, gradually quieting down.

Li Huowang, drenched in sweat, lay on the ground, gasping heavily, Bai Lingmiao's voice choked with sobs sounded in his ear.

"Senior Brother Li, I was wrong, I was truly wrong, stop thinking, as long as you can stay by my side, I will never ask again!"

Inside the pitch-black carriage, first two hands lifted Li Huowang up, another hand wiped Li Huowang's forehead with a towel, and yet another hand brought a bowl of water, carefully pouring it into Li Huowang's mouth.

Under the soothing of four hands again and again, Li Huowang's breathing slowly leveled out. His buzzing mind, and that extremely piercing tinnitus also gradually disappeared.

Li Huowang looked weakly at the young girl before him. "Things...... are just like this......"

He knew not when, Li Huowang fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, outside the carriage it was already bright daylight, the underwear on his body had also been changed to a new set.

Looking at the carriage roof above his head, using his hand to touch the empty quilt beside him, Li Huowang sighed, using his hand to press his temples, pressing again and again.

Last night, some things he attempted to strive to remember had already dissipated mostly, some things that should have been in his brain became completely blurred.

But even if blurred, Li Huowang also understood some things from it.

Zhengde Temple worshipping the flesh-blood Great Buddha, the dirty, lazy, greedy Anci Convent, the people-and-god-playing Zuowang Dao, the life-exchanging Jumping Great God.

The supernatural powers used by everyone in this place carried strangeness.

Not to mention La Yue Shi Ba, You Laoye, Da Laolao and such evil spirits as Xi Shen.

Before he still thought it was, traversing into a world that should originally be this chaotic.

But now looking at it, it was not like this at all, the most fundamental reason was this world itself had a problem.

It was sick just like him, otherwise it should not be like this, it should originally...... be more normal.

"What exactly is going on with this world?" Li Huowang murmured to himself.

"It is called Da Nuo? Does it have relation to those performing Nuo Opera? According to previous Lu Zhuangyuan's saying, Nuo Opera is a very ancient opera, is the ancestor of other operas."

"Sounds like, those performing Nuo Opera seem to be worshipping Da Nuo, but....."

Li Huowang remembered, previously those people who attacked him after being deceived by Zuowang Dao, they did not have strength matching their powerful background, even not as powerful as those bandits.

"Sigh...." Li Huowang sighed, regarding these, he was already too lazy to understand.

No matter what happened to Da Nuo in the end, it had nothing to do with him.

He, a mere mortal, now ought rather consider one thing related to himself.

Why he could live, this was a new question Li Huowang just obtained.

He had already plunged into that extremely terrifying strange Baiyu Jing, that place where humans should not exist.

He not only did not dissipate like Danyangzi, but actually survived.

"Is this also the ability of Xin Su? Or did the Ba Hui I saw save me?"

Li Huowang speculated wildly, he wanted to find answers, but answers were not so easy to find.

Being able to live is of course a good thing, but Li Huowang feared trouble would follow behind this good thing.

While thinking Li Huowang sat up again, taking out his clothes from the box under the quilt and began to put them on.

When from inside the carriage, Li Huowang saw the distant riverbank, the morning wind gently brushed over Bai Lingmiao's white hair. As if raising ripples.

She focused on washing clothes, that side face illuminated by morning light, was so clear, elegant, and delicate.

Looking at that young girl in the distance who shared weal and woe with him, Li Huowang's heart suddenly stirred slightly.

"No matter how I live, since someone accompanies me, the days must go on, fortunately things have finally come to a close."
