Chapter 22: Exit
Inside the Qingfeng Guan's alchemy room, Li Huowang, whose body was covered in his master's blood, froze in place, obviously not reacting. "Are these three pills so powerful? Is what he and Danyangzi have refined an elixir or a dynamite."
He slumped to the ground for a while before climbing up, running his hands over his face and bending over to pick and choose from the ground.
When after picking for half a day, he did not pick out a piece of flesh that could move, and even Danyangzi's copper bell was blown flat, Li Huowang was relieved that Danyangzi was really completely screwed up by himself.
"But he's dead, but what do I do next?" Li Huo Wang stood in place, not knowing which way to go for a while.
Li Huo Wang had thought that he would be very happy after taking revenge, but when this moment actually came, he found himself in a daze.
All of his plans these days were centered around getting Danyangzi killed. There was no thought that he would survive.
Now that Danyangzi was dead, Bai Lingmiao was safe, and he had done everything he had promised. What should he do next?
Just as he was thinking about this, the door to the alchemy room was suddenly pushed open, and Changren and Changming walked in with their long swords raised in one hand vigilantly.
After looking around and realizing that they didn't find Danyangzi, they turned their vigilant gazes on the bloodied Li Huowang, "Tie! Where is the demon! Speak! Where is our master?"
"Master? That's the one you're stepping on, besides I'm Xuan Yang, ah, the two senior brothers."
These words made Chang Ren and Chang Ming subconsciously look down and lift their feet, some internal organs were presented in front of them, the pupils of the two instantly shrunk to a very small size.
Li Huo Wang looked around and picked up half of Danyangzi's face from the ground, "Look, he's really dead."
"It was screwed over by me." Li Huo Wang spoke to himself to them.
"In theory, he had killed people all his life and deserved to die a long time ago, but I didn't kill him because of that. I killed him as a personal favor."
Just as Li Huowang was about to explain his reasons for doing so to the two people in front of him, without saying a word after looking at each other, the two Changming Changren quickly inserted their long swords into their scabbards and quickly turned around and rushed towards the door.
"Hey, you guys wait for me to finish before you leave." Li Huo Wang helplessly shouted at them.
After shouting for half a day without any response, the bitterly smiling Li Huowang covered, his still vaguely aching stomach and walked towards the door.
"Laizi head is dead! He's dead! All come out, you can go home now!!!" Li Huowang he held the deflated copper bell in his hand and shook it vigorously, shouting loudly to the surroundings.
Today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the ear-piercing bell didn't attract any Old Master You, but rather the children and the medicine guides.
When they saw the half-face in Li Huowang's hand, they were ecstatic and fell to the ground and bowed to the four directions.
Li HuoWang walked slowly down the tunnel of the cave, he wanted to deliver the news to the ears of everyone in Qingfeng Guan.
More and more people joined him and began to shout along with him, "Laizi Tou is dead! He's dead! We can go home!"
Just then, Li Huowang felt someone beside him reach over to assist him, and he turned his head to see that it was Bai Lingmiao, who was in tears of joy.
Li Huowang smiled at her and raised the half of Danyangzi's face and waved it vigorously. "Laizi head is dead, you can all go home for the New Year! You can all go home!"
"Uh-huh! Senior Li! You can go home too! We can all go home!"
Li Huowang's expression froze, and then he continued to dance the copper bell in his hand with his greatest strength, roaring loudly with all his might, "Danyangzi is dead! All of you will come out! You can all go home!!!"
However, not everyone within the entire Qingfeng Guan was so happy, just as Li Huowang walked near Danyangzi's residence, he heard the sound of gold and stone coming out in the distance.
Li Huo Wang led the crowd to walk over, in Danyang Zi's dirty residence, saw Xuan Yuan was confronting Chang Ming Chang Ren, both sides took out weapons, the atmosphere was very tense.
Li Huowang looked at the so-called Heavenly Book that was entangled in black threads of copper, naturally he understood what they were fighting over.
"Senior Brother Xuanyang! Quickly come! Let's get these two accomplices of Danyangzi killed together! We'll share this Heavenly Book of Immortality together!" Xuan Yuan, whose face was no longer easygoing, urged Li Huowang.
On the side, Chang Ming stepped forward with his right foot and slashed, directly aiming his longsword at Li Huo Wang in the doorway. "If you don't want to die get away! Master taught you to practice the dan dao! On this occasion, do you really think you can deal with the two of us who practiced the Sword Dao?"
Li Huo Wang sighed softly and looked at the scene in front of him somewhat helplessly. "That's not even a Heavenly Book of Immortality at all, okay, it's just ancient scriptures on it, and what I said before was just made up to fool Laizi Tou."
"You guys don't believe too much in Laizi Tou's bullshit, this guy is full of bullshit, what Laojun master personally sent, according to his character, maybe it's just snatched from somewhere by killing and looting. Three senior brothers, let's go."
Changming Changren's left hand fingers clamped together, two black talismans wiped against his own long sword, the entire room was suddenly gusting with a gloomy wind.
"Senior brother Xuan Yang, since you don't want to get involved, then cut the crap and go."
"Senior brother Xuan Yang, since you don't want to get involved, then cut the crap, you go."
Changming Changren lifted his long sword and said in unison.
Feeling Bai Lingmiao timidly tugging at his daoist robe with his fingers, Li Huowang arched his hand toward both sides before leading everyone toward the cave entrance of Qingfeng Guan. "Then, three senior brothers, you continue then, we'll see you later."
The moment Li Huowang thoughtfully shut the door, it began to ring inside.
In the dark tunnel, a group of people returning home walked exuberantly and excitedly, each person's hand carrying an oil lamp trembled.
The tunnel was unfamiliar and rugged, and every now and then it had to be climbed with a rope; Li Huowang had never been here before in his memory.
Yet he knew unequivocally that this was the exit from Qingfeng Guan, for he saw the hands of the others around him trembling more and more.
After walking for almost two columns of incense, light began to appear on the far side of the cave tunnel. The moment they saw the light, everyone's pace began to mess up. It began to change from walking to running.
As they ran, that distant light grew larger and larger, eventually encompassing everyone's vision.
The moment they exited the cave, almost everyone squinted their eyes, after living inside the cave for such a long time, the outside was just too bright for them.
As their eyes gradually adjusted to the light, the scenery outside of Qingfeng Guan was presented to everyone.
The sky in the distance had just revealed the white color of the fish belly, the distant mountains and the distant forests, everything was pure and refreshing, as if it was a light ink painting.
Also at this time, the first ray of morning light on the first day of the Lunar New Year shot through the mist and hit everyone's face.
Li Huowang squinted his eyes at the sunrise in the sky and muttered, ''Did I stay in the alchemy room with Laizi Tou all night? This is all out of the sun, today's weather is really nice."
Suddenly someone moved next to him, it was a child, tears streaming down his face, his feet swung hastily burying his head and rushing towards a path next to him that didn't go into the forest.
This run of his had a herd effect, more and more people began to run that way, they wanted to run far away from this sad place.
Before long, only the seven or eight people from the material room were left at the entrance of the cave, and their gazes at that moment all looked towards Li Huowang.
"Senior Brother Li, let's go too." Bai Lingmiao, who had tearstains on her face, was smiling happily at this moment.
"Wait first." Li Huowang said, pulling out some notes from his pocket. It was stuffed into Bai Lingmiao's arms. "These are the last words and addresses left behind by those dead pill guides, you guys wait until you go out and find a dart house on the way to bring them there."
Bai Lingmiao held those notes in both hands and froze in place for a moment.
Li HuoWang smiled at the remaining people once again, turned around with the oil lamp in his hand, and walked in alone towards the darkened Qingfeng Guan.
