"Huh? What's all this nonsense?" Li Huowang frowned as he walked into the forest where the idiot was staying.
As soon as he entered the forest, Li Huowang's pupils shrank. He saw the idiot squatting in front of a small earthen mound with the old beggar just now, eating food with a grumble.
There were a few yellow papers on the top of the small earthen mound, firmly pressed down by a stone.
Li Huowang suppressed his anger and rushed over to kick the idiot down, "Get up! You dare to eat the things for tomb sacrifice! Are you tired of living? Didn't I tell you not to talk to this beggar!"
The idiot climbed up aggrievedly. "I didn't... didn't... didn't talk to him."
"Kneel down! Kowtow and apologize!" Li Huowang ordered sternly.
After seeing the idiot kowtow several times in front of the tomb, Li Huowang stretched out his hand and pulled him up.
There are all kinds of things in this ghost place. He dare not gamble. If he fails to handle it well, he will be in trouble immediately.
With a "clang", Li Huowang pulled out the long sword behind him and pointed it directly at the nose of the old beggar. He said coldly: "I don't care what your purpose is, stay away from my people! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, without waiting for the man to reply, Li Huowang pulled the fool and turned away.
"I'm not a beggar, I'm a monk." The man muttered in a low voice and continued to squat there to eat the offerings of the dead.
Back on the road, the group continued to set off. Li Huowang's expression was a little solemn, and he began to instruct others. "Don't sleep so deeply in the last few nights, something might happen."
Although the fool had kowtowed and admitted his mistake, God knew what the temper of the things in the tomb was, so he didn't dare to gamble.
Hearing what Li Huowang said, the others immediately understood something and nodded gently.
As the sun set in the west, night fell, and people on the road walked into the roadside woods to collect firewood for fire.
Li Huowang lit a bonfire around the two donkey carts and asked others to chop enough firewood in the woods.
There was no moon today, and it was pitch black. The branches around swayed in the breeze, as if there were countless things hidden inside, spying on the people around the fire.
As time went by, the surroundings gradually became quiet, and everyone else fell asleep.
But Li Huowang did not sleep, and was quiet as if waiting for something.
In addition to the surrounding woods, his heart also had to be divided half on the old beggar.
If that thing came to the door, it would definitely come to him first.
If it came, it would be better, and it would just be a chance to see what this guy was about.
After a long wait, the first half of the night passed and came to the second half of the night, the time when people are most likely to fall asleep.
"Brother Li..., was there a face there just now?" Gou Wa, who was keeping watch with him, said with a trembling voice.
Li Huowang looked quickly, but saw nothing in the darkness.
"Are you sure?" He asked in a very low voice.
Gou Wa swallowed hard. "Not sure, maybe... maybe I am dazzled."
"Don't talk, be quiet." Li Huowang pretended to stare at the bonfire in front of him and glanced at it with his peripheral vision.
After waiting quietly for a while, under the weak light of the fire, he saw an ugly face slowly emerging from the darkness with a cruel smile on his face.
But what made Li Huowang feel numb was that more heads slowly emerged behind this head. Strips of white light appeared and disappeared under the head.
"Wait, white light?" Li Huowang stood up suddenly, grabbed a piece of firewood lit in the bonfire and threw it over. "Stop! Who are you! "
Li Huowang's loud shout was like a thunder in the quiet environment, waking up the others who were sleeping.
When the rolling firewood was thrown under those heads, and he saw that those heads had feet and shadows, Li Huowang immediately realized that these people were alive.
Not only Li Huowang saw them, but others also saw them, and saw the machetes in their hands. "The bandits are coming! ! Run! ! "
This panicked shout instantly made the crowd explode. Everyone carried their belongings and scattered like birds and beasts.
"Damn it! We've been discovered! Hurry up and bring the horses over! ! " Soon the sound of horse hooves sounded, and these robbers chased the pedestrians on the road with knives.
"Run to the woods! Their horses can't run in the woods! ! "
Hearing the old beggar shouting, the others ran away from the main road and rushed into the surrounding woods.
They ran away, but people like Li Huowang who had a donkey cart could not run away, because a donkey could not outrun a horse.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves from behind, Li Huowang quickly stopped and looked back, and found a tall horse carrying a bearded robber slashing at an old woman.
"I can't hide! "Li Huowang quickly took out a pill and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and a heat instantly surged through his body.
Just as Li Huowang stepped on his feet and rushed towards the bandit.
The old beggar suddenly rushed out from the side and pushed the fallen old woman away.
Gao Deqiu on the horse looked at the old beggar in front of him with a trace of disdain in his eyes. He didn't even raise his knife, but pulled the reins in his hand, raised the horse's hoof high, and stepped directly at the man.
He had a cruel smile on his face, looking forward to the next bloody scene. He was usually a bandit, and this was his only hobby besides playing with women.
However, the next moment, he saw a figure rushing out from the front and hitting the horse's head heavily with a fist.
"Bang! "Accompanied by the neighing of the horse, the charging horse was abruptly changed direction and fell to the right.
Gao Deqiu, who was falling to the ground, could do nothing but stare at the sunken horse head with his eyes getting bigger and bigger.
The next moment, with a muffled sound, his head and his horse fell to the same fate.
Seeing their accomplices encountering the enemy, the other bandits put their fingers in their mouths and whistled to help.
However, Li Huowang, who had eaten the elixir refined by Dan Yangzi, made these people immediately realize that they had provoked someone they dared not to provoke.
Muffled sounds continued to sound on the dark dirt road. After losing several people, these bandits hurriedly left in a panic.
"Retreat quickly! The point is hard! Maybe it's someone from the Jiantian Division! "
Li Huowang, with his fists covered in blood, stood there, breathing heavily.
He turned around and looked at the old beggar behind him. After what happened just now, he could conclude that this guy was either a tiger or a pig.
Under Li Huowang's gaze, the old beggar stood up, walked to a man who was hacked to death by bandits, knelt down with his hands clasped together, and whispered something.
As Li Huowang approached, he heard clearly what the man was chanting.
"Ah Amitabha, Ah Amitabha, Ah Amitabha..."
An Amitabha with a not very standard pronunciation was chanted over and over again.
After chanting dozens of times, the old beggar walked to the woods nearby and began to dig the ground with his hands.
