Mutated Tao Chapter 40: After midnight

“Huh? What’s the mess?” Li Huowang frowned slightly and walked into the forest where the fool was staying.

As soon as he walked into the woods, Li Huowang’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw that the fool was squatting in front of a small dirt bag with the old beggar just now, eating something.

A few pieces of yellow paper were placed on the top of the small soil bag, which was pressed firmly with a stone.

Suppressing his anger, Li Huowang rushed over and kicked the idiot down, “Get up! You dare to eat the things that are sacrificed to the grave! Are you tired of living? Didn’t you tell me not to talk to this beggar!”

The idiot got up aggrieved. “I didn’t…no…didn’t talk to him.”

“Kneel down! Quickly kowtow and apologize!” Li Huowang ordered sternly.

After seeing the fool smacking his head heavily at the grave bag a few times, Li Huowang stretched out his hand and pulled him up by force.

There is everything in this ghost place, he dare not bet, if it is not handled well, he will be in trouble immediately.

With a sound of “clang”, Li Huowang pulled out the long sword behind him and pointed it at the old beggar’s nose. He said coldly: “I don’t care what your purpose is, stay away from my people! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Without waiting for the man to reply, Li Huowang pulled the fool around and left.

“I’m not a beggar, I’m a monk.” The man muttered in a low voice, and continued to squat there to eat the tribute of the dead.

Back on the road again, the group continued to set off. Li Huowang’s expression was a little dignified, and he began to give orders to others. “Don’t sleep so hard the last few nights, something might happen.”

Although the fool has kowtowed to admit his mistake, but God knows what kind of temper the thing in the tomb is, he dare not bet.

Hearing what Li Huowang said, the others immediately understood what was happening and nodded slightly.

As the sun set and the night fell, people on the road went into the woods by the roadside to collect firewood and make a fire.

Surrounding the two donkey carts, Li Huowang built a bonfire and asked others to cut enough firewood in the woods.

There is no moon today, the surroundings are pitch black, and the surrounding branches sway with the breeze, as if there are countless things hidden inside, spying on the people around the fire.

As time passed, the surroundings gradually became quiet, and everyone else fell asleep.

But Li Huowang didn’t sleep, he seemed to be waiting for something quietly.

Besides the surrounding forest, most of his heart was devoted to the old beggar.

If that thing came to the door, it would definitely come to him first.

It would be even better if he came, and he could just take this opportunity to see what’s going on with this guy.

After a long wait, the first half of the night just passed, and it came to the second half of the night, the time when sleepiness is most likely to occur.

“Brother Li, there…was there a face just now? Gouwa, who was watching the night together, 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 a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. “I’m not sure, maybe… Maybe it’s my eyesight.”

“Don’t talk, be quiet.” Li Huowang pretended to stare at the bonfire in front of him, and glanced there from the corner of his eye.

After waiting quietly for a while, under the faint light of the fire, he saw an ugly face slowly emerging from the darkness, with a cruel smile on it.

What made Li Huowang feel his scalp tingling was that more heads slowly appeared behind this head. Strips of white light appeared and disappeared under the head.

“Wait, White Light?” Li Huowang stood up abruptly, grabbed a piece of firewood lit in the campfire and threw it over. “Stop! Who are you!”

Li Huowang’s yell was like a thunder in the quiet environment, waking up everyone else in their sleep.

When the tumbling firewood was thrown under those heads, and seeing that the heads had feet and shadows, Li Huowang immediately understood that these people were alive.

Not only did Li Huowang see them, but the others also saw the machetes in their water. “The thieves are coming!! Run!!”

The terrified shout caused the crowd to explode in an instant. Everyone picked up their soft bags one after another and scattered like birds and beasts.

“Damn it! We’ve been discovered! Bring your horse over here!!” Soon the sound of horseshoes sounded, and the robbers chased the passers-by with their knives in hand.

“Run into the woods! Their horses can’t run in the woods!!”

Hearing the old beggar’s shout, the others left the road and rushed into the surrounding woods.

They ran away, but those with donkey carts like Li Huowang couldn’t. It is impossible for a donkey to outrun a horse.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes from behind, Li Huowang quickly stood still and turned his head, only to find a robber with a beard on his back was slashing at an old woman on his back.

“I can’t escape!” Li Huowang quickly took out a pill and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and a wave of heat rushed to his whole body in an instant.

Just as Li Huowang stepped on his feet, he 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, without raising his knife, he pulled the rein in his hand, raised the horse’s hoof under his body, and stepped on the man.

There was a cruel smile on his face, looking forward to the next **** scene, he was usually a thieves, and besides playing with women, that was his only hobby.

However, at the next moment, he saw a figure rushing out from the front, and slammed his fist heavily on the horse’s head.

“Touch!” Accompanied by the neighing of the horse, the forward horse was abruptly changed direction and fell to the right.

Gao Deqiu, who was falling to the ground, couldn’t do anything, he could only look at the deflated horse head and his eyes widened.

The next moment, with a muffled sound, his head and his horse fell to the same fate.

Seeing his accomplice encountering the enemy, other bandits put their fingers in their mouths and whistled to help.

However, Li Huowang, who ate the elixir refined by Danyangzi, made them understand immediately that he had offended people who were afraid to offend.

The muffled sound continued to ring out on the dim dirt road. After killing several people, the bandits left in a hurry.

“Quick retreat! The idea is hard! Maybe it’s someone who supervises Tiansi!”

Li Huowang stood there with his fists full of blood, panting heavily.

He turned around and looked at the old beggar behind him. After what happened just now, he can conclude that this guy is not a tiger, but a pig.

Under Li Huowang’s watchful eyes, the old beggar stood up, went to a man who had been hacked to death by the bandits, knelt down and folded his hands together, muttering something in a low voice.

As Li Huowang leaned closer, he could clearly hear what the man was reading.

“Ah Amitabha, ah Amitabha, ah Amitabha…”

An Amitabha, whose pronunciation is not very standard, just recited it over and over again.

After reading it dozens of times, the old beggar walked into a nearby forest and started digging the ground with his hands.
