Chapter 180 Asking the Rice

"Five Elements... Missing Five Elements?"

Upon hearing these words, Li Huowang reached his hand toward his abdomen, toward the place where his internal organs should have been.

Subconsciously, he recalled what he had done that day, how he had sought revenge against the Seat of Forgetting Dao and deliberately sought death.

He had used the Leapfrog Five Elements from the "Great Thousand Record" to sacrifice his internal organs to Ba Hui.

If the so-called Five Elements on his person had vanished, it must have been at that time.

But as for whether lacking the Five Elements held any special significance, Li Huowang felt nothing unusual.

Li Huowang thrust his hand inside his blood-red Daoist robe, feeling for the hideous scar that had once sliced open his abdomen.

Yet what surprised him greatly was that the skin on his chest was smooth, without even a single scar.

Li Huowang struggled to recall what had happened back then, but he had not the slightest impression. "What exactly is wrong with my body? How did it heal?"

Filled with doubt, he raised his head to look at the blind old woman before him. "Immortal Auntie Cui, if a person lacks internal organs and the Five Elements, can they still live?"

Hearing Li Huowang's words, the blind old woman immediately exclaimed dramatically: "No internal organs or Five Elements? Then how are you still human? You are simply a dead man."

The moment he heard this, Li Huowang suddenly felt as if something in his mind had snapped. A pain gradually spread from his chest, growing worse and worse, and he began to struggle for breath!

"What is happening? Did she do this! A divine power of words becoming law? Did she see I am a Heart Plain? Does she want to murder me for profit??"

Li Huowang endured the excruciating pain and looked at the Immortal Auntie dressed like a country old woman before him.

Just as Li Huowang, whose face had turned ashen, staggered and was about to fall, Immortal Auntie Cui spoke again.

"However, you lack the Five Elements yet still live quite well, one cannot speak so absolutely."

As soon as these words were spoken, the pain in Li Huowang's body vanished immediately, he covered his chest, looking at the old woman before him with an expression shifting between shadow and light.

At this moment, he was somewhat unable to figure out this Immortal Auntie's purpose, if the excruciating pain just now was caused by her, then how did it suddenly disappear?

"If this was not done by her, then what exactly is wrong with my body?" Li Huowang thought silently in his heart.

The excruciating pain just now was absolutely not simple, truly feeling as if he was about to die immediately.

"However, I advise you, you should find the Five Elements back as soon as possible, if you don't find them back, sooner or later something big will happen."

Li Huowang reached out to block Bai Lingmiao behind him, then asked with a mix of doubt and probing: "Immortal Auntie Cui, for someone like me, do you have a way to solve it?"

"I have no way, but others do, if you want to ask, I can help you ask. Indeed this is the truth, your Five Elements must be found back as soon as possible, otherwise, even if you can live, nothing will go smoothly."

"Ask who?"

"I am the Rice Granny, so who else to ask, of course ask the rice."

"Ask the rice? Is this some new thing again?"

Soon, this so-called Immortal Auntie Cui was taken back to their lodging by Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao.

After asking the host family for a few jin of rice, Immortal Auntie Cui began the so-called Asking the Rice.

First, she took out the things inside the basket one by one.

A small bronze mirror, placed in the center of the table.

In front of the mirror was placed a clay censer the size of a palm, inside the censer were lit thirteen small yellow incense sticks the length of a finger.

Subsequently, the borrowed rice was put into the basket, and on top of the rice surface were placed thirteen raw eggs.

Facing the rice and eggs in this basket, she poured a cup of wine, a lamp of tea, a bowl of rice.

Immortal Auntie Cui closed her eyes, covered both hands over the eggs, and the Asking the Rice began.

"Great Lord Guan Yue protect the home, Master Granny please come up Ai. East south west north gods spirits monsters ah, Great Lords all together must protect ah....."

While singing something in some obscure and incomprehensible local dialect, Immortal Auntie Cui grabbed the rice in the basket with her hand and sprinkled it toward Li Huowang's head.

"What kind of trick is this again?" Looking at the superstitious Immortal Auntie, Li Huowang secretly heightened his vigilance in his heart.

Having experienced so many things, he was now somewhat like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, looking at everything with a trace of suspicion.

After singing for a while, the Immortal Auntie suddenly stopped, she extended her right hand toward Li Huowang, trembling as she opened it.

Looking at that old hand like a chicken claw, Li Huowang obviously did not understand the meaning, but fortunately Bai Lingmiao beside him understood.

She took out some broken silver from her bosom and placed it on the other party's hand.

Immortal Auntie Cui with eyes closed grabbed the silver, stuffed it into her mouth and bit it, then her face immediately revealed a satisfied expression.

"Young man, don't be stunned, speak out your birth date and time."

"What? Birth date and time? None."

Immortal Auntie Cui sighed, used her fingers to pinch and calculate Li Huowang's finger joints, then continued to sing, this time the lyrics Li Huowang still could not understand, but different from last time.

Not long after, Li Huowang's body tightened, with his keen perception he subconsciously looked toward the pitch-black doorway, then immediately looked toward the empty roof beam.

Something was coming.

"Burp~" The burping sound made Li Huowang's gaze instantly return to the front, at the Rice Granny who began shaking her head and body.

He could already clearly feel that the feeling of Immortal Auntie Cui before him was completely different, something had occupied her body.

"Why does it feel almost like the trick of Jumping Great God? Jumping Great God summons immortal families, what does this Asking Rice summon?" Vigilant Li Huowang moved slightly further away.

"Who is below the stage~ What is asked~ What matter ah~~ burp."

An old man's voice came out from Immortal Auntie Cui's mouth, the voice carrying an obvious operatic tone.

Originally Li Huowang wanted to ask about the missing internal organs, thinking about it he still did not ask, if the internal organs were truly gone, then he would have already died long ago.

Although he did not know what method Dan Yangzi used to help him find back his internal organs, but that was something to consider later, now the urgent task is to find back his missing Five Elements.

"Is there any way to replenish my missing Five Elements?"

"Hmm~? Who~~ below the stage? Burp, report~ name~ come!"

Immortal Auntie Cui took a fierce breath, the white smoke rising from the incense beside her, was just like that sucked into her nose.

"Li Huowang. Who are you? Or rather.... what thing?" Vigilant Li Huowang just finished speaking, subconsciously gripped the sword hilt, "Hmph~! I am~ Golden Palace~ Nine Heavens Governing History~ Containing True Dome High Pardoning Sin Great Heavenly Lord~ Tiny~ Heart Plain~ Ridiculous~ Ridiculous ah~ burp"

Li Huowang's pupils contracted slightly, the other party saw through him being a Heart Plain!!

"Fear not~ Fear not~ Wu hahaha~~ burp" The other party's laughter made the entire room sweep with gusts of eerie wind.

"Clang!" The long sword left its sheath, dense killing intent spread within the room, quickly dispersing the eerie wind inside the room.

Those incense sticks in the black censer were also instantly extinguished, (End of Chapter)
