Chapter 216: Rabbit

Chapter 216 Rabbit

Hearing this, a trace of bewilderment surfaced on Sun Baolu's face, but it quickly returned to normal, "I don't know if those Luo Sect lamas count or not, anyway, both my father and my grandfather respected them greatly, saying they could communicate with gods and bind ghosts."

"I've only heard of them like this, but never really seen them, I've only seen them twice in my life, they came begging for alms, and my father treated them very well."

Based on Sun Baolu's explanation, Li Huowang learned the basic appearance of those so-called Luo Sect lamas.

From his description, all weddings and funerals in Qingqiu required their officiation, and they were very secular, eating meat and drinking alcohol without any taboos.

Furthermore, these lamas claimed that it was precisely because of the protection of their Eternal Heaven that there were no evil spirits in all of Qingqiu.

"No evil spirits? Truly nothing at all?" Li Huowang asked in surprise, scanning the area once more, this place was actually so different from elsewhere.

"Mm.... at least I haven't seen any, and others haven't really seen any either." Sun Baolu was not as decisive as Li Huowang had imagined.

"No evil spirits... Should I try to contact those lamas? Perhaps I could ask about the Heart Element."

However, after thinking carefully for a moment, Li Huowang ultimately dispelled this notion, contacting other forces rashly now was too dangerous, although he had a copper coin mask on his face, if they recognized him as a Heart Element it would be huge trouble.

Having experienced so many things, except for the Anci Temple, there was not a single good person among the other forces.

Beyond Qingqiu lies the Liang Kingdom, reaching the Liang Kingdom safely now was more important than anything else.

"I cannot bring this group of people, after delivering them, perhaps I can go look myself." Li Huowang quickly made this decision.

"Come, continue speaking, tell me everything about these so-called Luo Sect lamas, how is their reputation here among you people?"

"It's alright, at least the few times I saw them were okay."

Immediately after, Li Huowang carefully asked out all the scarce information about the Luo Sect lamas stored in Sun Baolu's head.

"Senior Brother Li, here, time to eat."

A bowl of clear soup noodles was placed before Li Huowang, floating on the soup were some white round roots the size of a small finger.

"What is this?" Li Huowang picked one up with his chopsticks, "I don't know, Senior Brother Sun said this wild vegetable is edible, he said he often dug them out of the grass when he was young, ate them as snacks, called them Wild Crystal Heads."

Li Huowang stuffed the Wild Crystal Head into his mouth, gently crushed it, found it a bit like bitter potato, the taste was acceptable.

Mantou, lying on Li Huowang, suddenly pricked up his ears, and dashed off towards the distant grassland in a flash.

"Why did Mantou run off? Should we follow and see?"

"Let him play properly, usually we are always on the road, rarely such leisure, Mantou understands human nature, he knows when to leave, he will run back on his own."

After speaking, Li Huowang began to eat, while Bai Lingmiao squatted nearby, watching silently.

A bowl of Wild Crystal Head noodles quickly entered Li Huowang's stomach, immediately after he asked Bai Lingmiao to serve another bowl.

Not knowing if it was because the skin on his body was growing back, Li Huowang's appetite now was not inferior to Gao Zhijian or Bai Lingmiao in the slightest.

Extending her right hand to gently pat the dust off Li Huowang's body, Bai Lingmiao said with some expectation, "Senior Brother Li, once we pass Qingqiu, we will soon reach the Liang Kingdom."

"Once we reach the foot of Ox Head Mountain, return to our village, then we can settle down."

"We can use silver to buy a few acres of land, you use the ox that pulls the cart to plow the fields, I will buy silkworms at home to weave cloth, once we save enough money to build a house, we can separate from my father and mother."

"Men plow and women weave? You want to live like this for a lifetime?" Li Huowang slurped the noodles in his mouth into his stomach.

Hearing the other ask this, Bai Lingmiao's voice carried a trace of caution, "Senior Brother Li, you don't want to plow the fields? It's okay, if you don't want to plow fields it's fine, we have an ox."

"I can do anything, but there is one premise, I want to cure my illness."

Li Huowang had just finished speaking when Bai Lingmiao grabbed his hand tightly. "Senior Brother Li, it's okay, like this is quite good, I don't care, usually when you have an episode, I can take care of you by your side."

Li Huowang recalled Bai Lingmiao's face previously swollen from his beating, he shook his head firmly, "No, it must be cured."

Otherwise he simply dared not let himself stay by Bai Lingmiao's side, such a version of himself was completely a ticking time bomb, at any time possibly doing anything he would regret for a lifetime.

Although there was Yang Na and Mom on the hallucination side, but fake is always fake, cannot become real, he should have given up long ago, "Senior Brother Li, I beg you, like this is quite good, don't go looking for anything, didn't you tell me, even such a powerful Abbess couldn't find it?"

Li Huowang put down the noodle bowl, looking at Bai Lingmiao with some surprise, "How will we know if we don't try? Do you not hope I cure this illness?"

Bai Lingmiao hesitated, ultimately her eyelashes lowered and she stayed silently by Li Huowang's side.

Worrying about Li Huowang's danger was one aspect, on another aspect, she actually worried more that in case one day, Li Huowang really cured his illness, no longer needed her and abandoned her.

A Li Huowang without illness was too good, so good that someone like her simply did not deserve him.

Li Huowang continued eating the noodles in the bowl, eyes looking at the Peng Longteng, the monk, and that half-section of Jin Shanzhao before him.

Recalling again his initial conjectures about the Seat of Forgetting Dao, his gaze became even more resolute.

"No, I must thoroughly resolve the trouble of the Heart Element. If the North Wind of the Seat of Forgetting Dao is truly a Heart Element, then there must be a way."

"Even if there isn't, I must go search, otherwise I simply will not be reconciled!"

At this time, Mantou from the distance returned carrying something in his mouth, when he walked closer and looked, discovered it was a dead rabbit in his mouth.

Mantou placed the rabbit before Li Huowang, sticking out his tongue, his tail wagging excitedly without stopping.

Mantou's arrival broke the deadlock between the two, Bai Lingmiao reached out and stroked his head, "So obedient, knowing Senior Brother Li's body needs nourishment now."

Speaking, she held the rabbit with both hands, walking towards the pot side.

Li Huowang glanced at Bai Lingmiao's back, speaking to Mantou who was sticking out his tongue, "I know she is doing this for my own good, but I truly dare not live a lifetime with her like this, to speak honestly, I truly fear someday unintentionally killing her."

"Woof woof!!" Mantou barked at Li Huowang who was speaking to him, pressing his nose to the ground constantly sniffing.

Li Huowang reached out and picked another piece of dead skin from inside his clothes, throwing it towards the distant Peng Longteng, Mantou instantly charged towards Peng Longteng's crotch.

The rabbit was roasted by Sun Baolu, he seemed very skilled at it, the taste was very good.
