Chapter 920: Tracing the Source, Finding Li Xundao
Liu Mazi traveled a long way to Pa La City to exorcise evil spirits for the city's high officials. Li Changxiao had nothing to do and didn't understand the current situation, so he followed him.
The mansion of the great official, with its lacquered door and black plaque, looked like a coffin at first glance. But its specifications were not low, even more majestic than the city gate. Many strange people had gathered in the mansion.
When Liu Mazi entered the mansion, he was greeted by a child. Although he was called a child, he was actually over 30 years old. His face was not tender and tender at all. He looked more like an old man. His voice was like that of a child.
Because it was getting late, the official had invited many talented people who were far away and still on their way. So he arranged a wing room for Liu Mazi and Li Changxiao to stay.
Liu Mazi said, "That little boy is so cute. I'll have one to play with someday." At that time, the world was strange. People like this, who were short and had a childish voice, were quite popular among the powerful. He just stood at the gate. When the passers-by saw the "boy" guarding the gate, they thought that the owner of this house must be a person with an immortal temperament.
Li Changxiao did not comment, but observed the decoration of the mansion. The materials were not bad, and the wardrobe, bed, table and chairs were quite sturdy. But the style was very strange. The patterns carved on them were not flowers, birds, fish, turtles and longevity patterns. Instead, they were some "immortals offering peaches", "monkeys drinking", "Pozi dancing with swords" and other patterns that were incomprehensible and had no deep meaning.
Liu Mazi took off his boots. A foul smell wafted in. He didn't even wash his feet, just lay down on the boat and fell asleep. Normally, Liu Mazi worshipped Li Changxiao like a god. He should have taken his feelings into consideration. There was only one bed in the room, so it was not Liu Mazi's turn to sleep on it. But he still smiled and took the initiative. After occupying the bed, he pretended to snore. It seemed that he had fallen asleep.
In fact, he squinted his eyes and secretly observed Li Changxiao. Li Changxiao walked around the house. Seeing that the beam was quite good, he jumped onto it and prepared to sleep.
When Liu Mazi saw Li Changxiao jump more than ten feet high, he was surprised and said in his heart: "Oh, God, oh, God, I'm so lucky!" But even in this situation, he didn't even plan to give up his bed to please Li Changxiao.
Li Changxiao was about to fall asleep when he suddenly saw a pair of eyes on the beam, secretly spying on him. He yawned and looked over lazily. On another beam, there was a person lying on his stomach.
The man had very long, coarse hair, and a face that looked like both a man and a woman. His skin was pale because he had not seen the sun for a long time. But when I looked down, I saw that he had no limbs. His hands and feet were nowhere to be found. His body was like a snake without scales.
Li Changxiao was well-informed, had great magical powers, and was highly skilled, so he would not be frightened by this. However, the strange fog looked at Li Changxiao for half a second, then it panicked and fell down.
With a click, it happened to fall on the bed, pressing down Liu Mazi. Liu Mazi cried out "Ouch", in great pain, as if something heavy had fallen from a height, pressing out all his internal organs.
He was angry and pushed hard. The monster fell to the ground with a heavy "thump". He was also in great pain and cursed: "You bastard, have you no manners!" Liu Mazi looked over and saw that the man had no hands or feet, only a face. He was not afraid, but cursed arrogantly: "Okay, you woke me up from my sweet dream, I will beat you to death!" He rolled up his sleeves and punched the thing in the face.
The thing begged for mercy again and again: "Ouch, ouch, stop hitting me, my face is bruised!" "Please, please, I didn't offend you, please forgive me, just let me go..." "I am so old, and you still beat me like this, do you have any conscience?"
Li Changxiao pulled Liu Mazi away. Liu Mazi was still not satisfied and kicked twice more. Li Changxiao asked: "Do you know what this is? Aren't you afraid of him?" Liu Mazi said: "It's just a peek at Liang Man, what's so scary about it." Li Changxiao asked: "Peek at Liang Man?"
Liu Mazi said, "It's the little guy who lives on the beam of the house. He was born without hands and feet and helps the master to spy on the guests." The man who peeked at the beam said, "Yes, yes, I specialize in this kind of work. The master asked me to see how many people came to the house and what they looked like. And whether they were asleep or not."
Liu Mazi said, "Bah! Don't think I don't know. You are the most lustful and the most thieving. Hehe, I saw you. If you don't pay some blood, I won't let you go!" The man who was peeping at the beam said, "Well, I have a gold cake in my pocket, you two can take it!" Liu Mazi fumbled around and took out a thin gold cake. He laughed and ignored the man who was peeping at the beam.
The man peeping from the beams secretly glanced at Li Changxiao, climbed up the beams again, climbed onto the eaves, and left quickly. Liu Mazi put the gold cake in his arms. He had no intention of sharing it equally. He thought: "If I hadn't beaten up the man peeping from the beams, how could he be afraid and how could he give me the gold cake. This thing is obtained by my own ability. It has nothing to do with you." He felt at ease and was secretly happy.
After this episode, it was harmless. Liu Mazi went back to bed. Li Changxiao jumped onto the beam. He took some random things and made divinations. He calculated the current year and month, and Li Xundao's whereabouts. It would have been fine if he didn't calculate it, but he was really shocked when he calculated it. He had already spent more than two hundred years in this breakthrough. This was too long. He himself could not have expected it.
Li Xundao's cultivation was very high, so Li Changxiao couldn't predict his exact whereabouts. But Li Changxiao took a different approach and only calculated "whether Li Xundao was at Wanxian Peak". The result was ambiguous, but after careful analysis, he found that he was probably not there.
Li Changxiao thought, he used to use "Seeking Change" as the reign title, and he had been seeking change for more than 700 years. But now... using "Seeking Change" as the reign title is a big misnomer. In this world today, how can there be a desire for change? Those who seek change have all died.
After much thought, Li Changxiao came up with a name for the year, and he decided to call it "Peace". It didn't have any special meaning, it just felt auspicious and reassuring. So the year that Li Changxiao woke up was naturally a "Peaceful Year".
In this world, we just hope that it can return to normal as soon as possible. Li Changxiao suddenly thought: "I don't know what happened during the hundreds of years when the disease was rampant and Li Xundao disappeared. Although there are many patients with strange diseases in the world today, they are all derived from the disease of longevity. I only need to find a patient and trace the source step by step. Naturally, I can find Li Xundao."
