Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 394: Rising Popularity (Original)
The serialization of "Daoguiyixian" is still going on, but this new comic work of Lin Qingshan has been called "Lin Qingshan's masterpiece on mental illness" by comic fans.

It can be said that it integrates the characteristics of many of Lin Qingshan's works. "Chainsaw Man", "Vortex", "Parasyte"... and other previous comic works of Lin Qingshan seem to have their shadows in the comic "Tao Weird Immortal".

But on the contrary, because of this, the popularity of "Ao Wei Yi Xian" has been rising. As the plot progresses, the crazy and unique bizarre world of cultivating immortals in "Ao Wei Yi Xian" is unfolding in front of many comic fans.

The popularity of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" is also rising, and it is gradually becoming stable in the top three. On the contrary, the popularity of "Shen Zu" is beginning to become unstable...

And the plot of "The Taoist Immortal" continues.

Ever since his disciple Li Zhi helped a woman who had been possessed by an evil spirit to exorcise the evil spirit and restore her to normal, Li Huowang sensed something was wrong from his "daughter-in-law".

The strange "Second God" actually used his long and black nails to cut his fingers, used blood instead of ink, and used the red veil on his head as paper to write this line of words:

"Be careful you are Xinsuxian."

Be careful, are you Xin Suxian?

The word "Xinsu" appeared again, making people more certain that Li Huowang was Xinsu.

But what is the Heart Essence? Is it a special constitution? Like the so-called Immortal Saint Body, does it have special abilities?
Is it related to Li Huowang's ability to travel between two worlds?
However, before Li Zhi's Ershen "wife" could continue to say anything to Li Huowang, and before Li Huowang could even ask his own questions, Li Zhi appeared and took the Ershen away with a grim look on his face.

He seemed to be jealous, and he lifted the red veil of the two gods slightly, put his head in, and declared his sovereignty in front of Li Huowang in a passionate manner.

only……

In the comics, the moment Li Zhi slightly lifted the veil, everyone saw some fine green scales on the lower half of the "Second God"'s face?

It is also accompanied by some mucous liquid.

It's so creepy to watch.

After Li Zhi declared his sovereignty, some yellow-green mucus was still hanging from the corners of his mouth, making him look even more weird.

Li Zhi's hobbies and aesthetics... are really unique.

With a "wife" like this, are you still afraid that someone will kidnap her?

Anyway, apart from him, no one would think of marrying someone with such a "strange" face, right?

However, Li Huowang still did not give up. He planned to ask Li Zhi again the next day what the "Second God" had just said about Xin Suxian.

But Li Zhi seemed to be jealous, and his attitude towards Li Huowang took a sharp turn for the worse, not giving him a chance to ask questions.

Li Huowang had no choice until...

That night, the familiar pair of red embroidered shoes appeared in front of him again.

She is Li Zhi’s “Second God” daughter-in-law!
It seemed that she took advantage of Li Zhi's inattention and came directly to Li Huowang again at night, as if she wanted to continue talking about something she had not finished before.

Li Huowang also completely believed in the "Second God" and stepped forward and asked carefully, "Miss Second God, do you have anything to tell me?"

The Second God once again scratched his finger with his long, black nails, using blood instead of ink, and continued writing using the red veil on his head as paper.

"You have to be careful..."

The comic is told from the first perspective by Li Huowang. The "Two Gods" in front of him seem a little far away, and the four big characters seem a little blurry in the darkness.

The comic fans are a little confused.

Li Huowang involuntarily stepped forward and tried to get closer, but at this moment...

The "Second God" suddenly raised up the hand that was still writing and the other hand!

The dark and slender nails, like ink knives, were like the claws of a wild beast hunting prey, and the front end was inserted into Li Huowang's neck.

Li Huowang reacted instantly and kicked the "Second God" in the stomach! He kicked the Second God several meters away.

However, his neck, which had just healed, now had four large bloody holes, which looked a little scary.

Fortunately, he still had a lot of hemostatic pills that he had looted from Qingfeng Temple. After swallowing them, he recovered almost immediately.

At this moment, the "Second God" who attacked him, after being kicked by Li Huowang, had his red veil completely lifted, revealing his true appearance.

The fans finally saw the true appearance of the "Second God", which was a picture...

The face has several beast features, fine snake scales, hedgehog's dorsal thorns, yellow-brown hair that looks like a weasel, and even gray whiskers on the cheeks like mouse whiskers.

And instantly, comic fans from the black soil of Northeast China recognized it.

"Wow, this guy is really a spirit medium. Hu Huang Bai Liu Hui, the fox Hu Daxian, the weasel Huang Daxian, the hedgehog Bai Daxian, the snake Liu Daxian, and the mouse Hui Daxian!"

But the most bizarre thing is not this. Because the concept of Chu Ma Xian has been mentioned before, comic fans also have some understanding of the specific concepts of Chu Ma Xian and the five major immortals.

The most mysterious thing about Li Zhi, a disciple who is sent out to perform rituals, is his wife, the "Second God", so everyone has probably guessed that the "Second God" will have some relationship with the five major immortals.

So seeing such a weird face that is a combination of the five immortals doesn’t seem strange at all.

But… the weirdest thing is not only this, but also this face of Li Zhi’s “wife” that combines the characteristics of the five immortals, but when put together in the comics, it turns out to be…

Li Zhi's face!

It looked like Li Zhi, dressed like a woman, was wearing rouge and powder, and had facial features that combined the characteristics of the Five Immortals, but they were the facial features of an old man like Li Zhi, which made people feel both disgusted and strange.

At this time, Li Zhi's voice came from the woods in the distance, "After testing for a long time, I found out that your Xin Su is just a show-off. You are lucky that no one has snatched her away in advance."

Obviously, this was a trap set up by Li Zhi and the "Two Gods". It seemed that the "Two Gods" had their own consciousness and wanted to remind Li Huowang something.

In fact, it was Li Zhi who manipulated the puppet "Er Shen" from beginning to end, performing such a drama, intending to take down Li Huowang, the "Xin Su".

Just like the group of monks in Zhengde Temple.

Soon, Li Zhi planned to use some magic to catch Li Huowang.

But... he soon realized something was wrong and suddenly stopped.

Just when the fans didn't know what was going on.

The scene turned to Li Huowang, who still looked relaxed and contented at this moment.

"You came here to test me, and I am testing you, too."

Li Huowang covered his neck and said with a smile, "I have been deceived by the monk once. Every failure makes me wiser. I have to be on guard against something."

The wound on his neck was just a minor one, so how could he be completely defenseless against the strange practitioners in this world?

For this, comic fans couldn't help but give Li Huowang a thumbs up.

Wow... this protagonist is really cautious. He is on guard to this extent even when facing a passerby like Li Zhi who seems to have no ill intentions.

But think about it carefully, just came out of the Zhengde Temple, no matter who you are, you will be suspicious, and you will kick any dog ​​you see to see if there is anything wrong. The drum that Li Zhi used to dance the gods during the day was stolen by Xiaoman and others under the instruction of Li Huowang, and it was pierced in front of Li Zhi.

Without the drum, Li Zhi had no way of being caught by Li Huowang.

Li Huowang took this opportunity to use his sword to force Li Zhi to tell him what "Xinsu" is.
Although Li Zhi seemed to be caught, he did not sit still and wait for death. The next moment, under the nose of Li Huowang, he "transformed" into the Second God.

In fact, his original body and the two gods have switched places. The two gods are his clones, and they can interchange the positions of their original body and clones at any time.

At the same time, although he no longer had the drum for the ritual, he could actually lift up his own belly and use it as a drum to perform the ritual again.

Next, Li Zhi and Li Huowang fought each other in a strange contest between You Lao Ye and the dancing god. Although Li Zhi could use his belly as a drum for the dancing god, it was obvious that the damage to his body had caused him to suffer heavy losses.

Li Huowang was not much better. After all, he had just started practicing for a short time. At this moment, he could only summon Master You and...

Summon cheap master "Half-Immortal" Dan Yangzi.

The two of them suffered serious injuries in the competition.

But at this moment...

The world in front of Li Huowang changed suddenly. This was...

The scene that appeared when I traveled back to the modern world after a long time.

The next moment, when he came to his senses, he found himself wearing a blue and white hospital gown, being supported by someone, walking in the yard of the mental hospital.

"This is all fake! It's all an illusion!"

Li Huowang suddenly raised his head and looked around, and instantly saw Old Liu in the distance being supported by his daughter and walking out of the yard. The distance between him and Li Zhi was exactly the same as the distance between him and Li Zhi just now.

"Huo Wang, what's wrong?"

Li Huowang suddenly sneered with a ferocious expression. This guy still wanted to confuse himself with hallucinations. He was quite bad. He might not be able to do other things, but hallucinations were of no use to him at all.

He shook off the hand that was supporting him, stepped on the garden steps with his right foot, and rushed towards Old Liu in the distance.

He simply mistook Old Liu for Li Zhi and punched him. The next moment, the "illusion" quickly disappeared, and Li Huowang saw that Li Zhi in front of him had been hit by him and had his head tilted back with blood flowing from his nose.

But comic fans know very well that it is not an illusion.

This is the unique ability of the protagonist Li Huowang. That old Liu...really suffered an unexpected disaster.

But after Li Huowang's ability, which comic fans consider to be "heart element", showed off, Li Zhi was defeated directly.

Li Huowang, holding a long sword, once again forced Li Zhi to ask what was going on.

However, Li Zhi said apologetically, "Haha, Master Li, I'm sorry..."

"I have no choice. I really have no choice. They forced me to do this. You can run, but I really can't escape. Since the day I left, I can no longer run away."

"Haha... If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. From the day I became a horse, I became a puppet in their hands. I resisted, but it was useless. A human can't defeat the immortals."

"Actually... this isn't bad. Finally, there's nothing else going on in my head."

……

From Li Zhi’s sad and helpless last words, comic fans also learned that the spirit-relief disciples in this world are slaves of the so-called “immortals” and puppets of the “immortals”.

As for who the "immortals" were, Li Zhi didn't say and Li Huowang didn't ask.

Li Huowang only cares about...the monks from Zhengde Temple and Li Zhi who have coveted him again and again, and what is the "Xinsuxian" that Li Zhi mentioned.

In response to Li Huowang's questions, Li Zhi, before he died, directly told him what the so-called "immortals" had told him and what he knew.

"The heart element is the beginning of the transformation and formation of the Tai Shi. The formation has substance but has not yet formed a body. This is called the heart element. The heart element is the beginning of substance but has not yet formed a body."

But no matter how many more things there are, Li Zhi is not very clear about them.

This passage just makes people feel that Xinsu should be very powerful, but they don’t know what exactly it is.

After Li Zhi suggested that Li Huowang and others burn some paper money for him on Qingming Festival, and then sadly advised Li Huowang not to perform shaman dance in the future.

With his last breath, he said to Li Huowang, "Also, you asked me to exorcise the evil spirits that day. Is there something wrong? Remember to go south. Go there and find a group of nuns wearing black clothes. They... barely... can be considered... kind people. They should be able to... help you."

Then he died.

Li Huowang finally fulfilled his promise and buried the bodies of Li Zhi and the "Two Gods" properly.

After all, Li Zhi is just a poor man. There must be something pitiful about a hateful person, especially since Li Zhi was kind enough to tell Li Huowang something in the end. Li Huowang certainly would not regard Li Zhi as a pure villain.

After returning, Li Huowang tried his best to analyze what Li Zhi said about "Xinsu".

"The heart element is the beginning of the transformation and formation of the Tai Shi. The formation has substance but has not yet formed a body. This is called the heart element. The heart element is the beginning of substance but has not yet formed a body."

In other words, Li Huowang has a very rare character in the eyes of people in this world.

"According to this theory, the Taishi is a substance that formed all matter, while the Xinsu is something that existed before the Taishi was born."

Li Huowang muttered to himself and translated the meaning of this classical Chinese text.

Fortunately, he was a senior high school student before he was admitted to the mental hospital. If it were a college student or a corporate slave, he might not even be able to translate this passage into vernacular.

But the translation was completed, but the content made Li Huowang even more confused.

"I am obviously a human being, an ordinary person with flesh and blood. How can I be a being that is just the beginning of something but has not yet formed a body? This is not even close."

This kind of thing, which sounds mysterious, has nothing to do with living people.

"It's probably similar to the holy body physique in other immortal cultivation comics."

After Fan Siwei finished reading the last part of this plot, he speculated with some divergent thoughts.

But no matter how much he guessed, he still couldn't get the answer. It seems that the plot will not reveal what "Xinsu" is until later in the story.

"Siwei! Come here and help put away the New Year's goods!"

Just then, Fan's mother's voice came from the kitchen.

"Hey! I'm coming!"

Fan Siwei responded loudly and walked out.

Another New Year is coming soon.
