Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 408: Hot discussion on Cang Xie's ascent to the top and his return to the top (original)
When Fan Siwei went back to read the episode "The Tao of Immortals", Li Huowang was still unable to get over the hurdle in his heart.

Even if he was trapped in an illusion and killed by Dan Yangzi, it would be better than making his mother suffer so much at this moment.

Fan Siwei was even more silent. He suddenly understood why in many comics, especially those in the cultivation comics, those cultivators who obviously had very strong wills would be so afraid of things like inner demons.

If the so-called inner demons are like what Li Huowang is facing now, who can get through it?
Just like the joke on the Internet, you think the most effective beauty trap is that the other party sends a beautiful woman you have never seen to flirt with you and call you husband.

In fact, the most effective beauty trap is -

Your innocent first love or someone who looks very much like her appears in front of you one day, smiles and says “Why are you still so stupid, idiot?”

You probably thought on the spot, “You all say she is a beauty trap, but she is clearly a good omen.”

Li Huowang's situation is the same. Even if it is really an illusion, you can only admit defeat. You really can't get through this level...

This is what happened to Li Huowang in the comics. After he apologized to his mother Sun Xiaoqin in extreme pain, he finally chose to let go of the girl.

At the same time, because of such great pain, desperate thoughts arose in his heart.

"If I die... everything will be better. Mother won't have to bear the burden anymore, and Dan Yangzi won't be able to use my body to revive..."

Li Huowang suddenly calmed down and thought this in his heart.

Yes, no matter which world is real and which world is illusory, as long as he dies...

Then all problems will be solved.

Just as this idea continued to expand in his mind, a senior police officer appeared among those surrounding him.

"Well, young man, look, as the saying goes--"

This man seemed to want to negotiate with Li Huowang, but when Li Huowang looked at him...

The other party inexplicably bent his right index finger slightly...it was a gesture.

The next cartoon showed a long sniper rifle, and a policeman was hiding in the dark with the gun and pulling the trigger.

Suddenly, in the picture, a high-speed rotating sniper bullet shot out of the barrel from a half-open window in the distance and flew straight towards Li Huowang's brain stem.

Li Huowang also fell down.

but……

He is not dead.

It turns out that in the comics, he returned to that strange world again because of this.

"Old bone, as the saying goes, at seventy-three or eighty-four, the King of Hell won't call you to go. You are eighty-four this year, why haven't you gone yet?"

The little girl who appeared on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the people in the Wu family compound, and even the strange Kitchen God, all appeared in front of Li Huowang like phantoms.

But Li Huowang was now alone, surrounded by bamboo, with his lower body stuck in a pool of muddy, rotten bamboo leaves.

From outside the bamboo forest came voices that seemed to be Bai Lingmiao and the others' calls. It seemed as if he and Bai Lingmiao were deliberately separated on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

but……

"You know what? It looks like you've already won..."

Li Huowang was now filled with pain. He looked at Layue Shiba and said, "But you should never, ever, kill me just now. Do you know that my heart is really hurting right now!!!"

After all, after seeing the previous comic plot, even Fan Siwei could personally feel the pain that Li Huowang's soul was suffering from, which was being tormented and burned.

It's like being in the copper pillar hell and suffering the pain of branding.

Even Li Huowang had just been shot. Although the physical pain was not as great as the mental torment, it was also very intense.

"It hurts so much that I even want to die!!"

At this moment, he took out... the red bamboo slips he carried with him, the Daqianlu!

The pain in his heart resonated with the bamboo slips, and the pain in his heart that had just gradually weakened due to his return began to slowly intensify.

Then the red bamboo slip underwent a miraculous change. It began to take root, and those roots drilled out from the bamboo leaves below, dyeing everything blood red.

Then Li Huowang used the "secret method" in the Daqianlu to hurt his own body and used the forbidden techniques above!

As his lifelike and rolling intestines were pulled out alive by the barbs, one end of the intestines was connected to Li Huowang's abdomen and the other end was hanging on the barbs, while the "bridge" in the middle was swaying in the air and emitting hot steam.

This scene... is really terrifying!

Along with Li Huowang's extremely bloody and chilling act of self-mutilation, the source of the power of the Daqianlu that he once glimpsed - Baqi, appeared in the comics.

It looked like a giant snake with a black body and a green head, but this snake's body was covered with raised scales like armor, and its upper body was covered with eyeballs of different sizes.

Since the original work describes the appearance of Baqi as just an indescribable giant snake, Lin Qingshan must come up with his own creations when drawing comics.

The character of Bahui itself is derived from the mythology of the Ke system, and is similar to the name of the legendary beast Bashe in "Classic of Mountains and Seas", so Lin Qingshan took the "black body and green head" and some characteristics of the Ke system gods to draw the image of Bahui.

However, when the image of this Baqi appeared in the comics, Fan Siwei suddenly felt that this big snake... was domineering enough.

At this time, Baqi was staring at Li Huowang, and there seemed to be a human-like...joy in the strange eyes on the snake's head?
And with the appearance of Baqi...

Li Huowang, who was enduring… no, it should be said that he was enjoying the pain of having his internal organs stripped away, shouted, “Cang Xie… climb the stairs!!”

Lin Qingshan made some changes here. The combat method in comics mainly relies on shouting out the names of moves so that fans can feel refreshed instead of feeling confused.

So here he let Li Huowang climb the stairs for the first time and called out the name of the move.

The next moment, Li Huowang seemed to have gained the power to do whatever he wanted after Cang Xie climbed the stairs. He could tear the space apart as if he were tearing his own intestines.

Even Layue 18th felt pain and... fear. No, not only Layue 18th, but the bamboos and stones around seemed to have self-awareness and began to tremble.

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

They began to grow more and more twisted and deformed, more and more terrifying, and they even let out extremely desperate screams because of the pain.

"It hurts!"

Layue Shiba was overwhelmed by the extremely intense pain and screamed.

Then...it actually rushed towards the sharp bamboo in front of it and ended its own life!
The 18th day of the twelfth lunar month was already dead.

However, in the cartoon, Li Huowang’s intestines were torn and all his internal organs were about to fall out, and he seemed to be dying.

But he didn't care. After experiencing that kind of mental torment, it seemed like a good thing for him to die now.

"It would be better to die! I won't feel pain anymore after I die. I'm really tired...but why did it have to be me...Actually...I don't want to die...I want to feel...happiness like everyone else..."

Li Huowang sat on the ground, as if facing death calmly.

The picture seemed to be cut to his first-person perspective. He looked drowsy and his eyelids seemed to be opening and closing.

"I'm finally going to die..."

Li Huowang's frank words appeared in the comics, but he subconsciously looked at the big snake in the air - Baqi.

But the last picture was that Baqi turned his head and looked at him, as if he was thinking about something.

"This is the end of this story."

Fan Siwei finally finished reading this episode, and then he felt...

"This one... is really explosive."

He muttered to himself, even now he was a little immersed in the plot.

I felt the inner torment and pain that Li Huowang was experiencing.

And I can feel it personally, as if I were completely immersed in it.

After all...what he didn't know was that Lin Qingshan had the ability of [Finishing Points (Master)].

[Painting the Finishing Touch (Master)], improves the ability holder's painting skills by 100%, and when the emotion is poured into the painting, anyone who sees this painting with emotion will be infected by the emotion. (The degree of infection will not be reduced by the printing method.)
So just like when watching "Flame Fist" before, comic fans can clearly empathize with Li Huowang's inner pain.

It’s very contagious!

Then there was the shocking scene when Li Huowang used Cang Xie from Da Qian Lu to climb the stairs, tearing his flesh and summoning Baqi, showing his powerful fighting power.

These are so wonderful!
After all, this was the first time that Li Huowang showed his extraordinary attacking methods. The previous summoning of Master You and Dan Yangzi felt like they were not his own abilities.

Even because "Daoguiyixian" has not yet developed a cultivation system like traditional cultivation comics, comic fans feel that Li Huowang seems to have not yet embarked on the path of cultivation.

For this reason, everyone began to doubt whether Qingshan Laozei's "Tao Guiyixian" lacked a traditional cultivation system.

What everyone likes more is to pull the chainsaw like Denci and start killing by himself!

But everyone thought about it and let it go. After all, it seemed that since "Edge Walker", Lin Qingshan had never come up with a combat power system.

Not to mention the combat system, there isn't even any moves.

There are only cybernetic modifications in "Edgewalker", but the cybernetic modifications are not divided into A-class, B-class, and S-class. Edgewalkers like Mann and Dolio do not have the so-called S-class and A-class classification system.

Therefore, the combat power is really a mystery. Maybe the characters in Night City are just divided into "Legends" and those below "Legends".

Although the blessing ability users of "Flame Fist" have abilities, there is still no level division of abilities and no moves.

This is even more true in "Chainsaw Man", where there are all kinds of demons, each with different abilities, and there is also a concept that "the more terrifying the concept, the stronger the power."

However, there is still no specific classification of demons.

The demon hunters who have made a contract with the devil don't have any special moves to speak of.

Anyway, there has never been a combat power system in Lin Qingshan's place, and everyone doesn't seem to care much about the issue of the combat power system.

What everyone cares more about is the plot.

In fact, the lack of a combat power system is a good thing, because there will be no such thing as a combat power collapse.

Like Li Huowang defeated Li Zhi before, if there was a combat power system here.

For example, Li Zhi is in the foundation-building stage, and Li Huowang is in the Qi training stage.

When Li Huowang defeated Li Zhi, even though his companions had taken his "magic weapon" to help him, his fighting power seemed to have collapsed.

Therefore, without a combat power system, there is no such thing as combat power collapse!
But this would result in the work not being intuitive enough in terms of excitement. However, in the second half of the episode "Daoguiyixian", when Li Huowang used the Cangchen to climb the stairs, the fans felt an intuitive sense of excitement in terms of combat power.

Fan Siwei feels the same way, and now he is even more looking forward to the later plot of "The Tao of Immortals".

……

And with the update of the episode "Daoguiyixian", countless comic fans had the same feeling as Fan Siwei after reading it.

That is...pain and happiness.

The scene in the beginning where Li Huowang yelled to his mother "Mom, I can't tell the difference" was so shocking and painful that it made people feel empathy.

So this week, the topic of "Daoguiyixian" became a hot topic in all major comics and ACG forums!

"As expected of you! Old thief Qingshan! You are really crazy!"

"Stop talking about the well-known fact that Qingshan the old thief is a psychopath. Can you come up with something useful? Tell the mental hospital to put him back there!"

"Awesome! I'm starting to understand everything!"

"You're wrong. This old thief Qingshan is not just a psychopath. You can't draw such a plot without being a psychopath for ten years."

"It hurts so much! This is the first time I've been so immersed in a comic. When I thought about my mom becoming so haggard because of me, and even kneeling down in the street, I almost wanted to commit suicide..."

"I was numb from watching it... Maybe this is the true perspective of a mentally ill person. In their eyes, they did nothing wrong, but they brought great pain to their family."

"I was reminded of a video on Station C, where an elderly person with Alzheimer's disease felt that he had done nothing wrong. For example, he wet his pants, and he didn't know why a foul-smelling liquid appeared where he was sitting. He also didn't know why his son and daughter, who were once children, had all become strangers."

"I really can't stand watching this kind of plot. It's too uncomfortable. Now I suddenly understand why those inner demons, mental barriers, and illusions mentioned in the comics before were so scary. If this is the inner demon, I'm afraid I would give in on the spot."

"Yes, I used to think that inner demons were nothing, but now after watching this scene, I feel so bad. If this is an inner demon, I really want to commit suicide."

"But pain can be transformed into strength... To be honest, the setting of this Daqianlu reminds me of the symbol of corruption in Western mythology. Believers who believe in Satan and the devil will regard pain as pleasure."

"Using pain as the main source of power, or even enjoying pain... is indeed a symbol of spiritual depravity over there, which is why SM has always been seen as a deviant way."

"The Pain Cult is indeed weird, but I think the even weirder one is the old thief Qingshan!"

"It's so painful... I would like to call Brother Huo the most miserable protagonist in all comics after Agni!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much! That old thief Qingshan is really sick, and the protagonists are really suffering more than each other."

"Stop talking about it. I'm reminded of the extreme psychological pain I felt when I watched 'Flame Fist'."

"It feels exactly the same as in "Flame Fist", the same tragic feeling that it would be better to die than to live."

"Oh no! It won't be the same as in 'Flame Fist', where the protagonist can't die even after doing this. He can even be like Agni, whose body can regenerate continuously and he can't die even after using the Great Thousand Records repeatedly."

"Damn it, after hearing what you said, I'm also scared. Brother Huozi is going to follow Agni's old path!"

"Oh no, Brother Huozi is going to catch fire too?"

"Agni's kind of burning, right?"

"Just tell me if it will burn or not!"

"By the way...what is this 'Flame Fist' you're talking about?"

"Ah... "Flame Fist" is a very good-looking comic book, also drawn by Aoyama. It is very good-looking. It is an immature work drawn by Aoyama when he first started drawing comics. It is just because this is the comic book that Aoyama just started drawing, so it is not as cruel as the later comics. Instead, it is very... enjoyable to read!"

"Okay, okay, that's what you said, right?"

"I just want to ask you whether "Flame Fist" is good or not!"

"Oh yes, yes, it looks good! Very good! Highly recommended!"

"Is that so... Then I'll go take a look..."

Needless to say, the deceived comic fan immediately found it after reading the comic and said angrily, "You call this cool?!"

……

This episode of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" was a real hit, and its popularity rose rapidly...

Then this week's popularity directly surpassed "Protoss" and "Dragon's Chosen", and topped the list!
After all, the plot of this episode is really explosive, and the powerful strength displayed by Cang Xie when he climbed the stairs in the second half is also refreshing enough.

This made many people exclaim...

The old thief Qingshan is back!
After the popularity of "Parasyte" which was well received but not commercially successful, Lin Qingshan is back with his new comic "Tao Wei Yi Xian".

Even though "Purple Air from the East" has just finished, but the popularity of "The Divine Race" and "The True Dragon God's Selection" has not dropped much, it has surpassed the two most popular masterpieces to top the list...

The first person who was most happy to hear the news was not Lin Qingshan, but...

Yang Dahai, the editor-in-chief of Manjie Comics.

"Mr. Aoyama... As expected, as long as Mr. Aoyama doesn't do those fancy things and paints freely, he is invincible!"

Yang Dahai said happily.

He said that Mr. Aoyama was too restrained when making "Parasyte".

Genius does not need to be restrained. As long as Mr. Aoyama can give full play to his "neurotic" talent, all comic fans will be fascinated by him!
This is the situation now. The plot of "The Legend of Immortal" has suddenly become popular on the Internet. There are even some fans praising and making fun of its "indistinguishable" famous scenes, which makes "The Legend of Immortal" have the potential to become a new super popular comic.

As a result, Manjie Software’s revenue this week has increased significantly.

Just like after the famous scene of "not being able to tell the difference" in the previous life became popular, countless fans recommended "Taoism of Immortals" to the audience, making "Taoism of Immortals" a phenomenal and super popular work.

The same is true for "The Taoist Immortals" in this world at this stage. Countless fans act as tap water to recommend "The Taoist Immortals", and then attract more curious passers-by to join in.

Now the subscription volume of "Daoguiyixian" is rising sharply.

This is exactly what Yang Dahai would like to see.

"As long as Mr. Aoyama keeps up this momentum..."

Sitting in the office, Yang Dahai was full of satisfaction and imagined the future. He said, "Then I can rest assured..."
