Weird fairy

Chapter 223 Baolu
"Senior Brother Li? Can you help me?" Sun Baolu asked cautiously in his voice.

Li Huowang raised his chin towards the outside, put the crutch under his armpit again, and limped towards that side. "Let's go, let's chat."

Sun Baolu stood on the spot with a nervous expression, hesitated for a while, and finally began to lift his heels up.

As night fell, the street between the tents outside became very dark, and there were very few people.

Some biting cold wind slightly blew Li Huowang's hem and Sun Baolu's sleeves behind him.

At this time, Sun Baolu's face was a little ugly, thinking about how to answer Senior Brother Li's question, he didn't expect that the other party would find out so quickly a lie he said casually.

"Don't smudge, you have to go on your way tomorrow. Why do you say that human bone is a horse bone? How many things are you hiding from us?"

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Baolu sighed softly. "Senior Brother Li, I don't want to deliberately hide this from you guys. I just think that since you are just passing by, there is no need to explain some customs of Qingqiu too much. If I tell you, I'm afraid you will think wildly."

"Chop up people and feed them to vultures, and then smash the bones to decorate yourself. Is this really just a custom? I don't think so."

What I saw this morning had a great impact on Li Huowang.

Hearing the suspicion in Li Huowang's voice, Li Huowang quickly argued: "Maybe in the eyes of others, this is indeed a bit shocking, but it is indeed Qingqiu's custom. Except for dying of illness, people in Qingqiu have to sacrifice to heaven after death. "

"Burying people in the soil is also rotten. It's better to let the creatures in the sky take them away, so that some people can be fed. We have long been used to it."

"After all, no matter what, it is ultimately up to Changshengtian to determine the reincarnation of all living beings."

Li Huowang calmly looked at Sun Baolu who said this in front of him, "Longevity Heaven? This is the god that Qingqiu people believe in? Where is He usually?"

This was the second time he had heard the name.

Sun Baolu pointed to the moon in the sky, "It's there. Changshengtian can't touch us, can't find us, but he will always have what we long for."

"Huh?" Li Huowang raised his head and followed him to look at the full moon.

"That's Changshengtian's belly button. The entire Daheitian is the shadow of Changshengtian. The shadow cast by the two candles!"

"The whole night is His shadow? What about during the day?" Li Huowang continued to ask.

"The sun during the day is the two candles held by Changshengtian! Changshengtian is watching us silently from behind the candles. We all depend on Changshengtian for our survival."

Sun Baolu said it firmly, as if what he said was the truth.

Hearing this, Li Huowang looked thoughtful.

The monks in Zhengde Temple talked about the so-called five great Buddha circles, the Nuo opera mentioned before, Bai Yujing that I saw with my own eyes, and the so-called Changshengtian that Sun Baolu said now.

In this world, everyone has a different view of the world, and some of them even violate it.

Li Huowang has seen some things with his own eyes. There is no Changshengtian at all, there is no Nuo, and there are no five great Buddha realms.

In his eyes, there is only one completely crazy world, whether it is the human beings living below, or the existences that he can't imagine living above.All suffer together with the whole world.

Li Huowang should firmly reject other completely irrelevant worldviews.But he tried to control himself from thinking so.

"Maybe what I see is an illusion, and what they say may be true. After all, no matter how you compare, those worlds are far better than the crazy world I see."

Seeing Li Huowang standing there indifferently, Sun Baolu said bitterly: "Senior brother Li, you must not believe it, right?"

After pondering for a while, Li Huowang slowly said: "I believe it, and what you said is reasonable, so what's the matter with them decorating themselves with dead people's bones?"

"This is also a rule passed down from ancient times by the people of Qingqiu. It is said that human bones can store human courage and strength, and carrying them on the body can increase strength and courage. It can also ward off evil spirits."

"And only those who are powerful are eligible to be snapped up by others, and those who are unknown are only worthy of being buried in the ground."

"Are all your customs in Qingqiu so evil??"

"Not evil, isn't this a normal thing?" When Sun Baolu said this, it was very natural.

After Sun Baolu explained the customs and myths of Qingqiu to Li Huowang, it seemed that the horror scenes he encountered before seemed to become reasonable.

But Li Huowang looked at Sun Baolu in front of him with a trace of suspicion.

Sun Baolu felt this trace of suspicion, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his face.

"Senior Brother Li, we are all senior brothers who escaped from Qingfeng Temple together. You have paid so much to let me go home. I can't lie to you if I lie to anyone."

"I really have bad intentions in everything. Didn't you use your hands before you woke up? You are so powerful. As long as you can move a finger, I can't beat you."

Li Huowang nodded, "You're right. Since you trust me so much, can you tell me why your clothes are so tight?"

There must be some story about Sun Baolu, but Li Huowang has never been able to inquire about it in the past, and now he wants to know what Sun Baolu is hiding.

Sun Baolu's expression changed suddenly, he hugged his clothes tightly with both hands, and stepped back a few steps in a defensive manner.

He didn't know why the other party suddenly brought this up while chatting.

"What are you tabooing? What's the matter if you show it? We have all kinds of flaws in this group of people. Do you really think that we will laugh at you because of our flaws? You are worse than me now?"

Sun Baolu showed extreme humiliation on his face, his eyes were red and his voice tremblingly said: "Senior Brother Li! I am really different from you! I beg you, if you force me again, I really have no choice but to die!"

Seeing such a big reaction from the other party, Li Huowang came to him on crutches.

"You're leaving soon, I guess we'll never see each other again in the future, so why hide?"

Sun Baolu took a deep breath, and said vigorously, "Okay! I'll tell you when I get home, and you're the only one! You promise not to say anything! Otherwise, I'll die on your shoulders right now." before!"

Seeing Sun Baolu's serious expression, Li Huowang came to his senses. After all, the other party was not his enemy, but his companion, so there was no need to be so stiff.

Ever since he was deceived by Zuo Wangdao, Li Huowang found that he had become too suspicious.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, I just ask casually."

For the time being, Li Huowang, who believed in Sun Baolu's words, walked towards the tent hotel on crutches.

Sun Baolu wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and walked over to help the other party go inside.

When he was about to walk there, Li Huowang's right ear moved slightly, and he looked towards the dark street on the right, where the bright light was moving towards him.

Just as Li Huowang was about to step into the tent, he withdrew his feet and stood still again. "Wait, there seems to be something wrong with the light, it's too diffuse."

Gradually, as the distant light approached, Li Huowang's eyes opened wider and wider.

"Baolu, didn't you say that Qingqiu is not evil? Then tell me what it is?"

"This isn't evil, it's a lion dance, Brother Li, don't you have a lion dance?" Sun Baolu said in amazement.
