Chapter 239 Ending

Seeing the hanging man so close at hand, Li Huowang almost subconsciously drew his sword.

The moment he was about to exert his strength, he stopped abruptly.

Because Li Huowang realized that this thing was not looking at him, it was a dead thing! The rope son is not it!

Li Huowang's eyes moved upward slightly, looking at the very blurry pool above his head, with only a rough outline of something.

Thinking back to the previous trembling sound, he thought to himself: "The hanging ghost is just a part of it! Maybe it's just one of its fingers! That big guy in the darkness is the son of the rope!"

Judging from the fact that it didn't attack them immediately, it was obvious that the Taoist's spell had an effect.

After he figured it out, Li Huowang held his breath and looked at the female corpse in front of him again.

The clothes on the female corpse in front of him were red, and in this dark environment, they turned into a strange black-red color.

Judging from the wrinkles that almost covered her facial features and gray hair, she was an old man.

The old woman just hung in mid-air, staring at Li Huowang motionlessly with her yellow and dry eyes.

Soon half the stick of incense passed, and Li Huowang guessed correctly. When he didn't move, the female corpse didn't make any move, hanging there like a puppet.

In the darkness, everyone present froze on the spot. If it weren't for the slight white air that proved that they were all alive, everyone at this time would be no different from a stone sculpture.

At this moment, Li Huowang experienced for the first time what it felt like to live like a year. My limbs are sore and numb.

In this state, I don't know how long has passed. Accompanied by the squeaking sound of the rope sinking into his flesh, the hanged ghost slowly rose up and gradually left Li Huowang's sight.

Li Huowang's eyes slowly followed it away, watching as it finally merged with the extremely blurry giant thing in the darkness.

Li Huowang still didn't know what this female corpse meant to Shengzi, whether it was part of her body or a decoration. "Rope Son? Why is this thing called Rope Son?"

The trembling voice before moved again, but this time it was no longer approaching but gradually moving away.

Time passed little by little, and as the trembling voice gradually faded away, the depressing feeling finally disappeared.

"Coax~" The firelight illuminated the pale faces of Li Huowang and others. It was a yellow talisman lit by flames, and the lower end of the talisman was sandwiched between the two hands of the previous Taoist.

He first glanced at the exposed ribs on Li Huowang's chest, and then said with a smile: "This monk, let your son go, we are safe."

When the bright light of the fluorescent stone illuminated other people's faces, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

The others looked at the Taoist priest, their expressions seemed a little gentler than before. The shared adversity just now made their relationship much closer.

When he saw that the other party was surprised by their weird appearance, Li Huowang wanted to explain.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Han Fu, a disciple of Luo Jiao, has met the monk." The thin Taoist priest saluted Li Huowang and showed his rotten teeth again.

The yellow and black rotten teeth were spread out in all directions, and the roots of the teeth were tightly wrapped with yellow tartar. The strong bad breath that spread from the gaps between the teeth made the others quietly take a few steps back.

This man's mouth stinks, not just any ordinary stench, it's even stinkers than a latrine.

Although it seems that this person's hygiene is not good enough, after passing Anci'an before, Li Huowang did not have any objection to this person's rotten teeth.

As for whether his teeth smell bad or smell good, Li Huowang is now more concerned about the identity of his family that he just announced.

"Luo Jiao? What kind of religion is this? Is it a branch of Taoism?"

Li Huowang did not ask this question directly, which was easily missed, but also bowed to the man. "Looking at Xuanyang in the clear breeze, it's a pleasure to meet you"

Since the other party can communicate and seems to have no ill intentions, he may be able to find a way out from him.

"Oh? Are you also a disciple of Xuanmen? That's rare. Looking at you, I thought you were a Nestorian monk." The Han prisoner seemed particularly talkative.

"I was indeed a disciple of the Nestorian Cult in the past, but I recently left for some reason." After making up a random reason, Li Huowang thought to himself as he looked at Han Fu in front of him.

"Where is the person he was talking to just now? He was hung up by a rope? But why is he not sad at all? No, I can't ask him directly, otherwise he will definitely know that I was eavesdropping on their conversation just now."

Li Huowang didn't bother to worry about another stranger. He pointed with his finger at Hei Taisui who was wrapped in his own skin behind him.

"Master asked us brothers to come here to look for medicine, but we happened to get lost and happened to meet fellow Taoists. It's also a blessing for us. I hope that Brother Han will take the trouble to take us out of this world."

Li Huowang's words not only confessed his purpose, but also implicitly stated that there was someone behind him, telling the other party not to mess with their ideas.

When Li Huowang looked at Han Fu, Han Fu also looked at Li Huowang, from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top.

Finally, after the copper coin mask on Li Huowang's face paused for a moment, he said with a smile: "Okay, no need to be polite, you are all practicing Taoism, so let's go, I will take you out. You can't walk around here, be careful not to walk too far, The physical body is gone.”

Li Huowang raised his feet and followed Han Fu into the darkness. After thinking for a moment, Li Huowang asked: "Fellow Daoist Han, what kind of evil spirit was that thing just now? I have never seen it before."

After finally meeting someone who knew something, Li Huowang must seize the opportunity and learn as much as possible. Without a master to teach me, I can only rely on this method.

Han Fu looked very carefree. When Li Huowang asked, he immediately started to answer.

"That's a rope son. Some people are old and have no children to take care of them, or if their children are unfilial, they can ask it to help them take care of them until they die."

Hearing this, Li Huowang immediately thought of the female corpse from before, and said with some surprise: "Is that thing really going to help people take care of themselves until they die?"

"Hey, do you think other people are stupid? This is all self-deception. As long as you are not blind, you can see it. It is impossible for people to take care of themselves in old age."

"But old man~ It's useless anyway. I can't do anything, and I can't plow the fields. It's just a waste of food. So the time is almost up. The neighbors will pick an auspicious day, beat gongs and drums, and carry the sedan. The old man gave the rope to his son."

"As for the house and property left behind by the old man~ Haha, of course everyone should divide the matter together."

At this time, Gouwa next to him interrupted, "I know this. In our village, this is called eating out households."

"Yes, yes, yes! This means being exterminated, but it sounds awful to be exterminated. Wouldn't it sound much nicer to give the rope to my son to take care of him until the end of his life?"

Han Fu's sarcastic words made Li Huowang feel angry, and he was filled with a sigh of relief. He wanted to vent his anger but didn't know how.
