"Clang~" The collision between the long sword and the heavenly book made an extremely harsh friction sound, causing the others in the room to subconsciously cover their ears and take two steps back.
"It didn't even leave a mark. Changming's sword is not good. Isn't he a sword cultivator? This sword should not be an ordinary item." Li Huowang held the sword and thought for a few seconds, then grabbed the hilt with both hands and swung it in a circle and chopped it down again.
After gritting his teeth and chopping several times in a row, the situation finally changed, but this change did not come from the so-called heavenly book, but from the long sword in Li Huowang's hand.
With a "clang~" sound, the blade split into two from the collision point, and the good long sword became a broken sword.
Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Li Huowang was a little confused. The weapon he just got was gone.
Looking around, Li Huowang took a few quick steps and snatched his sword from the dead Changren. "Fortunately, there is a spare one."
"Shua--" The long sword was sheathed, and Li Huowang was thinking about what to do next around the heavenly book.
He originally planned to destroy this so-called heavenly book, but now it seems that this heavenly book is really something, and it is hard to say that it is not a treasure.
Since he has made up his mind not to give up on himself, it is naturally impossible to throw away such a valuable thing casually. "No matter what, take it first, and if it doesn't work, you can take it to the pawnshop to exchange for some money."
As for the unrealistic idea of becoming an immortal with this thing, Li Huowang completely abandoned it. He has seen the fate of those who tried before, and he doesn't want to be the next one.
Li Huowang picked it up with difficulty and weighed it. The weight of the stone slab is much heavier than he imagined, but it is within the tolerable range.
After wrapping the slab with cloth and carrying it on his back, he said to the others waiting on the side: "Let's go, let's leave here."
The lamp oil was thrown into the stinking cave of Danyangzi, and the flames spread along the lamp oil on the ground, igniting everything in the house that could be ignited, including Changming, Changren and Xuanyuan on the ground.
The fire was very strong. Li Huowang realized after seeing the scene in front of him that human corpses were natural combustibles.
As they walked back along the original path, they gradually ignited all the rooms. The hot flames swayed and began to gradually unite, burning everything that could be burned in Qingfeng Temple, and blackening everything that could not be burned here.
"Cough cough~" The thick smoke began to make others cough, and everyone began to speed up their pace.
After three incense sticks, everyone stood in the sun, silently looking at the Qingfeng Temple cave entrance that was emitting thick smoke.
The thick smoke rolled and swayed straight up, wrapping all the darkness and evil in Qingfeng Temple, and disappeared in the bright sky.
Li Huowang, looking up, laughed again, carrying his long sword and stone slab, and turned to walk towards the forest path in the distance. "Let's go."
The others carrying food followed one after another, and before they knew it, Li Huowang had become their leader.
Looking at the forest path approaching in the distance, Li Huowang's mood was no longer depressed at this moment.
"Ah, this place looks very strange. I don't know what kind of people and things I will meet in the future. I'm so looking forward to it all of a sudden."
The sun shone on his face, and then he breathed in the fresh air, and his mood began to change for the better.
"Brother Li, go slower, my eyes hurt."
Li Huowang turned his head and looked, and then he found that Bai Lingmiao was covering her eyes in the sun.
He walked over, held her face and observed carefully, and was surprised to find that he could see the blood vessels behind her eyeballs from the center of her pupils. Pink is the color of the dark red blood vessels illuminated by light.
"This... should be some kind of defect?" Li Huowang guessed in his heart. He was not a doctor who did not understand these things, but he could guess some of them, because Li Huowang remembered that most of the elderly albinos who told fortunes and did massage were blind.
It seemed that Bai Lingmiao's disease would cause defects in his eyes, which were much more fragile than those of ordinary people.
This was not okay. Li Huowang cut a strip of cloth from the hem of his blue Taoist robe and gently covered Bai Lingmiao's eyes. "In the future, you should cover your eyes whenever the sun comes out."
"But... I can't see like this."
"It's okay, I'll hold you." Li Huowang grabbed Bai Lingmiao's soft right hand and led the others to rush into the woods.
After Bai Lingmiao stumbled a few times, he followed Li Huowang and trotted.

"Duoduoduo~" The wrinkled Lv Zhuangyuan took his pipe and knocked it hard on the opera box.
After knocking out all the black tobacco stuck inside, he took out new tobacco from the pipe and put it in, and lit it with a tinderbox.
After taking a nice puff, he shouted to the forest in the direction of the horse's head: "Little boy, are you done?"
"Almost!" A young man responded from the other side.
"A lazy donkey pulls a lot of shit and urine, and it's so slow to poop. People who don't know would think I'm mistreating you and making you eat Guanyin soil." While smoking a dry pipe, Lu Zhuangyuan complained about his youngest son.
He moved his eyes behind the car and looked at his entire troupe on the forest path. In addition to a carriage with costumes and instrument boxes
There were also his eldest son's family of three, and two distant nephews brought from the village. Although the troupe was small, it was all his belongings that he had saved up over the years.
It was with this small troupe that he could have enough food for his family in this bad year.
"Dad, drink water and eat steamed buns." Lu Juren handed the food and water gourd to his father.
"What are you eating? Why are you eating before dinner time? Do you think you picked up food for free? Do you know what the price of food is now? Your daughter is two years old, and you still think you are a little kid! How can you be so ignorant!"
Even after being scolded, Mr. Lu was not angry. He smiled and stepped back, letting his wife put away the things in his hand.
"What's the matter? You got scolded again? You are a cheap bone, looking for scolding." Luo Juanhua put the food back in the car and teased her baby daughter sitting on the box with her fingers.
"It won't hurt to scold a few times, so scold me if you want to. Dad has been like this since mom died."
"Hey, head of the family, did you tell Dad what I said to you last night?"
"Let's talk about it later. I haven't been there recently, and Dad is short of money." When talking about this topic, Mr. Lu's face turned bitter.
"Tsk! You don't even have money to buy clothes for your granddaughter? She's wearing costumes now."
"Costumes... can actually..."
"Ahhh! Ghosts!!!" A terrified scream interrupted the couple's conversation, and the atmosphere of the entire troupe suddenly became tense.
Soon, the others saw a naked young man crying out of the woods and throwing himself into Lv Zhuangyuan's arms.
"What ghosts! Where did ghosts come from in broad daylight! Put on your pants quickly!"
Although Lv Zhuangyuan scolded his youngest son, he still blocked Lv Xiucai behind him, holding the pipe in his hand tightly, and looked towards the woods vigilantly.
There was a swaying figure inside, and it seemed that someone was coming.
