Li Huowang looked at the 79 life essence beads in the blood water, unable to calm down for a long time. "What does he mean by giving me these Yangshou Dan?"

Perhaps he wanted Li Huowang to eat these Yangshou Dan, or perhaps he wanted to explain why he became like this.

This question was destined to have no answer because this person-shapeshifter was already dead, and he couldn't die anymore.

With a long sword in his hand pointing at the corpse in front of him, Li Huowang hesitated for a while before he raised his hand and cut off the body of the person-shapeshifter in one fell swoop to prevent it from moving again.

Then he bent down, put the 79 Yangshou Dan into the gourd, and turned his head to the frightened old people and said, "Don't stop! Keep going!"

The old people looked very tired, but Li Huowang had no intention of respecting the elderly and loving the young because of their disgusting actions before.

If he could carry so many children, he would have killed them all with one sword.

Under their slow movement, Li Huowang and the others gradually left the cave.

However, just after they came out of the cave, Li Huowang began to search in this dim world. He wanted to eliminate any future troubles.

Since the other party wanted to refine elixirs with babies before, he must have some elixir recipes or techniques.

Li Huowang was not at ease unless he destroyed those things. He was afraid that after he left, other person-shapeshifters would repeat the same trick.

As he searched, Li Huowang unexpectedly found a new harvest, such as a small alchemy furnace the size of a watermelon, which was placed next to a huge alchemy furnace.

There were many baby corpses beside the furnace. It seemed that this person-shapeshifter used this large alchemy furnace to refine elixirs.

The only difference between him and Danyang Zi was that he had to remove the bones before refining elixirs.

Looking at the small alchemy furnace, Li Huowang suddenly remembered a skill he learned from Danyang Zi, alchemy.

With these things, the already used-up elixirs could also be replenished.

Then, Li Huowang found some books written in strange characters in this cave.

Perhaps these were the characters used by person-shapeshifters. Li Huowang didn't know if there were any elixir recipes for refining babies among them, so he burned them all.

After various searches, when a gray-white stone tablet appeared in front of him, a strange expression appeared on Li Huowang's face.

"A heavenly book? Again?"

"Where did these things come from? Why are they everywhere?" Li Huowang held the heavy heavenly book in his hand and pondered this question.

"Could it be that the elixir recipe that person-shapeshifter used to refine babies came from this?"

Li Huowang looked carefully and found that this heavenly book was exactly the same as the one Danyang Zi had, without any difference in a single word. It was still a Buddhist scripture that encouraged people to do good.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Li Huowang asked Red, who was peeking over here.Red smiled mysteriously, shaking her head as she said, "Hehe, I don't know...hehe, I don't know."

Li Huowang threw the Tian Shu into the cold underground river.

Red became anxious at the sight.

"Hey! How could you be like this? This thing might be a treasure! Pick it up quickly."

"If it's a treasure, then you can pick it up yourself."

After saying this, Li Huowang picked up the crying child from the ground and boarded the small boat they had come in on.

The boat was small and they had to make several trips against the current before they could get everyone to shore.

When Li Huowang returned to Cangshui County with the group of elderly and young, the entire county was in an uproar.

Search "pawread dot com" for the original.

Li Huowang's appearance at this moment was extremely terrifying, but their attention was focused on the crying children.

The families who had lost their children were always the first to rush forward.

Those who found their children knelt and kowtowed to Li Huowang, while those who did not cried out in grief on the ground.

Lou Zhixian and the others were about to thank Li Huowang and offer him a gift when he interrupted them.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, the matter is not over yet." Li Huowang then told Lou Zhixian about the elderly people's involvement.

"What? So those elderly people were accomplices of the evil spirits?"

Lou Zhixian was shocked when he saw the elderly people and had previously thought that they had been saved by Li Huowang.

"If they are judged by the laws of Daliang, what will be their fate for what they have done?" Li Huowang asked the trembling elderly people.

"According to the law, they should be executed by dismemberment!" Lou Zhixian's eyes became extremely cold.

"Is that too harsh? Isn't it just a child's play? Besides, they are all so old, why not just behead them instead?"

Lou Zhixian rarely refuted, "What are you saying, sir? What does a criminal's age have to do with it? A crime is a crime, and if we let them off because of their age, won't the infants under the yellow springs be even more aggrieved?"

Li Huowang thought carefully and nodded at Lou Zhixian. "You're right, Lou Zhixian. You can handle it. I'm leaving."

Lou Zhixian quickly grabbed Li Huowang, "Why are you in such a hurry, sir? Please give me a chance to entertain you and wash away the dust."

Li Huowang looked at his ragged clothes and the bloodstains on them before nodding.

"Alright, I haven't slept in two days. I'll rest for a while. Lou Zhixian, please help me make some clothes."

When Li Huowang returned to the inn, he fell asleep almost immediately. The intense pain in his body could not suppress his exhaustion.

He didn't know how long it had been when he was awakened by his hunger. He rubbed his eyes and looked outside the window, still daytime, but he didn't know which day it was."Taoist, you've been sleeping for a day and a night. The official came to see you earlier, but when he saw you sleeping, he went back," the smiling monk said.

"You seem very happy," Li Huowang glanced at him.

"Of course, we did a good deed, a big one! Shouldn't we be happy for doing good things?" the monk replied.

"Should be, should be," Li Huowang replied nonchalantly. He endured the pain and sat up, taking off his smelly clothes and putting on the new ones that were made to fit him perfectly.

It was obvious that Lou Zhixian had put in effort. The new clothes were the same dark red color and style as the ones Li Huowang was wearing before. And he didn't just make one, but had the tailor make five identical ones.

"Ah, Lou Zhixian is thoughtful," Li Huowang said as he put on the clothes.

After changing, Li Huowang headed towards the backyard, preparing to leave in his carriage.

"Taoist, the official still wants to invite you to dinner. Are you not going?" the monk asked.

"No, it's a waste of time. Since the trouble is resolved, I'll hurry back to Yinling. It's not a short journey," Li Huowang replied. For him now, everything else was just trivial.

As Li Huowang arrived at the stable in the backyard, he froze.

His carriage was spotlessly clean, with no mud on the wheels, and the horse pulling the carriage was well-groomed. Various mountain goods and cured meats were piled around the carriage, and Mantou was lying in the middle of them, gnawing on a big bone.

"Woof woof!" Mantou saw his master come back and ran over excitedly, wagging his tail nonstop. After a few days, he looked much fatter.

Seeing this, the monk laughed again and said to Li Huowang, "Taoist, see, I told you. Good things come to good people."
