Character Introduction
Character Background
He is one of the “Three Great Elements” of the important organization “Zuo Wang Dao” in the novel “Dao Gui Yi Xian.”
Character Appearance
Li Huowang wears the iconic red Taoist robe, but his head has been replaced with a fleshy Mahjong tile, “Red Center” (红中).
Abilities and Powers
He can use cultivators to make others believe his lies, thereby obtaining Feijiang (Flying Zombies). Obtaining Feijiang can enhance the cultivator’s abilities.
He uses Pai Gow and playing cards to attack.
He uses Mahjong tiles to control others.
He is a rare Zuo Wang Dao Xin Su (Heart Element). Hong Zhong can use cultivation to turn what he wants into reality to a certain extent.
He uses spells to deceive Dou Mu (a Taoist goddess) into descending to assist him.
Life Experiences
He is the highly respected Boss Hong Zhong, who has existed for hundreds of years. Two hundred years ago, the Eighteen-Sided Dice (another character) used Hong Zhong’s identity to deceive the previous Dice, leading to the downfall of the Dong Xia Kingdom.
He once saved Zhao E (the Orchid of the Zuo Wang Dao in the story) in a certain village.
He once impersonated Lao Jun (Lord Lao, a Taoist deity) to issue the Heavenly Book to Yang Danzi (Danyangzi), which was later shattered in the Imperial City battle.
Later, Hong Zhong’s memories and cognition were covered by the memories of the modern Li Huowang, woven by Dou Mu, becoming the Li Huowang of Dao Gui Yi Xian, while Hong Zhong’s memories were hidden.
When Dou Mu’s avatar descended, his memories awakened, and he also regained his cultivation techniques, teaching Bei Feng, also a Xin Su, to cultivate together.
After the Gui Zai (Ghost Disaster) “stole” Dou Mu’s true and false Heavenly Dao, Li Huowang’s “Hong Zhong identity” disappeared. Hong Zhong exists as a memory in Fengdu under Qingqiu, with only one hour of lifespan, after which the memory will be reset.
In order to find the “cultivator” cultivation method to suppress the side effects of cultivation, Li Huowang came to Fengdu. Afterwards, Hong Zhong and Li Huowang merged into one.
