Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

Chapter 134 [Gu God] Believers from Ninth University to High School

"If I'm not going the right way, I'm probably going astray."

Li Daoxuan stopped under a red maple tree and took out the Kan map given by Zhu Ye again.

Up to now, it has been two days since he entered the Ghost Mountain Range. At first, he could still move forward little by little along the road marked on the map.

But after walking for less than half a day, after crossing a small river, something changed.

The place where the road was clearly marked on the map turned into a high mountain.

Li Daoxuan naturally suspected that there was something wrong with this map at first. In fact, it was true. This map had no geographical standards at all.

Where there is obviously a small river, it can draw a big river for you on the map.

As for the Ghost Mountain Range, which was difficult to get out of for several days, only a few small triangles were drawn on this map, marking this place as the Ghost Mountain Range.

There is simply no order at all.

It wasn't until later when Li Daoxuan was about to go to the top of the mountain to take a look that he realized that the mountain in front of him seemed to be somewhat disconnected from the two hills next to it, so he used his dead eye to take a look.

In front of the dead man's eyes, the mountain in front of him was... blood-red.

It was obviously contaminated by evil spirits and that was why it was like this.

This mountain was not originally from here.

Li Daoxuan estimated that the only person who could move such a big mountain here was a Class A evil spirit.

Only Class A evil spirits with domain can have such strength.

Based on the idea that the road was right here, he climbed to the top of the mountain to take a look, and found that the mountains behind the mountain all turned bright red.

Although he didn't know why the Class A evil spirit was waging such a huge battle here, Li Daoxuan had no idea of ​​leaving here.

You can strike hard against Class B evil spirits, but when facing Class A evil spirits, you have to be submissive when it's time to be submissive.

So... a detour led to the current situation.

[In this mortal world, the butcher who just became the Lord of Hand Witch City set out again in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, but unexpectedly he got lost in the Ghost Mountains. I hope you will not contribute to the ghosts in the Ghost Mountains. You +11 survival points (green). 】

Li Daoxuan looked at the words on the panel, then at the almost useless Kanyu map in his hand, and finally turned to look at the endless hills around him.

If the shroud ghost hadn't been replaced by Sumeru and sealed a bunch of food in a box inside Sumeru, he might have starved to death in the Ghost Mountains before leaving this time.

Just when he put away the Kanyu map and was about to climb the mountain again to see if there was any way out, he heard footsteps coming from the direction he was walking.

very light.

Only when stepping on dry branches, there is a little sound.

Li Daoxuan put his hand on the handle of the butcher's knife. He didn't smell the smell of corpses getting stronger, which meant that the person who came was not a grain eater.

Then you have to be careful.

"Ahem...brother, don't panic, I'm not evil."

Before the person appears, the voice arrives first.

Li Daoxuan took a step back, and from the bushes ahead, a man wearing a green robe and a pale face finally walked out.

As he walked, he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed.

Li Daoxuan glanced at it and realized that this was indeed a person.

But since he learned that there are dirty things that can disguise people as ghosts, he has become more cautious, "I have seen it, brother."

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly, and at the same time, he subconsciously began to look at the man.

See if there is anything valuable.

There is a small bamboo cage hanging on the man's waist. It is very small and exquisite. It seems that the bamboo craftsman who made this thing put a lot of thought into it.

Of course, Li Daoxuan couldn't keep staring at other people's things as his eyes only glanced at them.

"Have you seen me?"

The man in green robe sat far away under a tree and asked with a frown.

"never seen it."

"Then you said you've seen me..."

Li Daoxuan re-examined the man in green robe... This man seemed to have a straight head.

"I haven't seen it before, but I have seen it now."

"Oh..." The man in green robe nodded, "You're a strange person to talk to. My surname is Zuo, and my name is Zuo Xiaowen. What's your surname, brother?"

"Excuse me, my surname is Fang, and my name is Fang Jie."

When Li Daoxuan said this, he remembered that he had done such things many times in his previous life when he was in school.

The most memorable time was when I was late for class in high school and was stopped at the school gate and had to take my name.

Li Daoxuan casually reported the name of his injured friend, but at a glance, he found that his name was already hanging on it...

"Fang Jie? It's a good name."

Zuo Xiaowen nodded gracefully.

Li Dao

"No."

Zuo Xiaowen raised his head slightly and said, "I am from the Gu sect."

"Gu Sect?"

Li Daoxuan cheered up instantly. He had seen this Gu sect in books.

The Gu sect's whereabouts are all over the three worlds of the upper, middle and lower realms, but there are very few people and their whereabouts are extremely mysterious.

And what they believe in is also the Gu god among the nine supreme cow, ghost and snake gods.

But they never thought that their Gu God would be one of the nine supremes.

Even if someone said in front of them that the Gu God was one of the nine supreme beings, it would cause them to fall out.

It's very strange, and no one knows the reason.

"It turns out he is a brother from the Gu sect, I admire him."

Li Daoxuan raised his hands and clasped his fists.

Everyone in the Gu Sect refines Gu Insects, and each Gu Insect has its own ability. In addition to the Gu Insects that he carries with him, every person in the Gu Sect also has a natal Gu.

The people in the Gu sect also went from rank nine Gu to rank one Gu.

Among them, nine turns are the lowest and one turn is the highest.

The people in Gu sects distributed in the Lower Nine Streams are all at Rank [-] or Rank [-].

When you reach the sixth rank, you can go to the middle-nine-level world.

Zuo Xiaowen did not respond to Li Daoxuan's politeness, but went straight to the point and asked directly: "Are you lost?"

Li Daoxuan was silent for a while and then said:
  "I'm looking for where the end of every road is."

"Oh, aren't you just lost? And you said it so politely."

Zuo Xiaowen said it very calmly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he started coughing again.

Li Daoxuan's hand never left the handle of the butcher's knife. When he heard what he said, he also asked: "Are you not lost?"

"I'm lost too."

What Zuo Xiaowen said was very natural.

Li Daoxuan became more and more silent. He was basically certain that the person in the Gu sect in front of him was definitely not very bright.

[In the chaotic world of the five turbidities, the pig butcher lost in the depths of the Ghost Mountains met a Gu sect member who was not very bright. Your survival points are +6 (green). 】

While the panel confirmed that he was a member of the Gu sect, it also confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with his brain.

"How long have you been walking around here?"

Li Daoxuan asked.

"Five days."

Zuo Xiaowen looked a little ugly, "Do you still have food? Can you give me some? I haven't eaten for two days."

"When we first meet, do you dare to eat what I give you?"

"I can let my voodoo eat it first, and then I'll eat it if it's no problem."

Your poison can attack you, but you don't know how many lifetimes of bad luck you will suffer... Li Daoxuan somewhat admires his uprightness.

"So you have?"

"No."

Li Daoxuan is not a kind person, and he does not have the temperament to do good things.

In the mountains, under the maple trees, there was sudden silence.

Obviously, Li Daoxuan's uprightness also left Zuo Xiaowen speechless.

"Cuckoo-"

Zuo Xiaowen's stomach let out an unwilling wailing. An insect suddenly flew in front of him, but he suddenly stretched out his hand to catch it.

Then he swallowed it in one gulp.

Li Daoxuan, who was sitting opposite him, saw this scene with his own eyes and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

You can't do this, or at least you shouldn't...

After Zuo Xiaowen finished eating, he frowned and immediately looked up at Li Daoxuan.

After noticing the other party's surprise, Zuo Xiaowen also thought of something and explained: "What I just swallowed was my natal Gu."

"Oh……"

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuo Xiaowen muttered: "My Gu worm got some information and knows why we got lost here."

"Oh why?"

Li Daoxuan doesn't have this ability. If he knew, he probably wouldn't be trapped here.

"We entered a worldly restriction set by a wild god. Normally, he would let us out after we entered by mistake, but that wild god is dying now, so that's why it's like this."

"Then how can we get out? Can we find the wild god and stab him to death before we can get out?" Li Daoxuan habitually chose the simplest method.

"Uh……"

Zuo Xiaowen obviously did not expect him to be so direct. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded and said: "If the wild god is gone, the worldly restrictions will naturally disappear."

"Then where is He?"

"But we don't have to kill him. Oh no, how can a mountain spirit who can become a god be killed by us?"

"What strength does he probably have?" Li Daoxuan asked again.

"It wasn't clear at first, but now it should be at the seventh or sixth level... But I can't deal with this either."

Li Daoxuan frowned impatiently, "Hey, why don't we just go and find Him wherever He is?"

Zuo Xiaowen then stood up and said, "You are so reckless."

As he said that, he started to lead the way, although he didn't know why he was leading the way.

"you're good."

"What am I so good at?"

Zuo Xiaowen turned around and said doubtfully.

"You are amazing because no one has ever been able to grasp my character so quickly."

Li Daoxuan had already pulled out the butcher's knife with his backhand, and the dark tip of the knife was facing Zuo Xiaowen in front, which made him tremble with fear and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

But not long after walking, Zuo Xiaowen spoke again: "Brother Fang, to be honest with you, my natal Gu is a Pathfinder Gu, so I may not be suitable for fighting. Later... what will happen to that wild god later? , please bear more responsibility."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Li Daoxuan finished speaking very boldly, and added silently in his heart... We can't win anyway, I will definitely run faster than you.

After receiving Li Daoxuan's affirmative answer, Zuo Xiaowen relaxed a little.

Speeding up their pace, the two climbed over the mountains and ridges, and finally came to the foot of a mountain.

"The temple of this wild god is on the top of this mountain."

Li Daoxuan nodded, and just as he was about to go up the mountain, Zuo Xiaowen suddenly spoke, with a hint of excitement and expectation in his voice.

"I think maybe we can stab this wild god and steal his golden body fragments!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Li Daoxuan could reply, he reacted first.

A Gu insect flew out from the bamboo cage around his waist and bit him, causing him to wake up instantly. “No, why have I become so greedy! Be careful!”

Is the butcher's greed contagious?

This was Li Daoxuan's first reaction, but he quickly denied it.

If it was Fang Jie, they could still make sense. After all, they were getting along day and night, and they often stayed together. Maybe it was indeed affected by their own temperament.

But the person in front of me... I had only known him for a short time.

How could he be affected by himself so quickly?

"I suspect you are contaminated."

Li Daoxuan said seriously.

"I also think it might be."

Zuo Xiaowen not only did not deny it, but also nodded, "I am cautious and steady by nature, and I am not greedy. Otherwise, I would not be sent... Ahem, I heard that the golden body fragments are valuable."

His eyes gradually brightened, and the bug lying on his arm bit him again.

He immediately woke up again and exclaimed: "Polluted, I am polluted!"

Li Daoxuan was unmoved. Just as he was about to use his dead eyes to observe, he looked at the panel.

[You are walking in the chaotic world of the five turbidities, and you encounter the long-awaited troubled turbidity in the Ghost Mountains. Its pollution ability is "greed", which complements you, the greedy pig butcher. Your survival points +20 ( green). 】

The polluting power of trouble and turbidity seems to be really compatible with me... Li Daoxuan cheered up.

While adding some energy and blood, he had another question.

"Since it is the pollution caused by worries, why am I fine?"

As soon as I thought about it, the answer was already given on the panel.

[The greed caused by the turbidity and pollution of worries is nothing compared to the greed of your butcher. 】

From this point of view, my greed is not without merit... Li Daoxuan glanced at Zuo Xiaowen in front of him and said:
  "Are you okay? If not, I'll go by myself."

Just when Li Daoxuan thought he would say "men can't say no", Zuo Xiaowen shook his head honestly.

"I can't, you go ahead."

Li Daoxuan gave him a thumbs up and said helplessly: "Where's your natal Gu? Fly up and see what's going on."

"no problem."

As long as Zuo Xiaowen doesn't have to do it himself, he can do anything.

Soon, the flying Gu insect that Li Daoxuan had seen before flew out of his body, shuttled through the jungle, and disappeared.

The two of them were waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Li Daoxuan asked casually: "Do you know what the gods' methods are?"

Regarding the gods, Li Daoxuan had also heard them mention it. Most of the mountain gods were transformed from mountain spirits.

Therefore, these gods mainly rely on their own roots.

Then came the abilities evolved from the mountain spirits eating incense and making offerings.

Zuo Xiaowen replied seriously: "I just took a look at my natal Gu. The root of this wild god should be a demon, so the beast should have more methods."

"In addition, this wild god can control such a wide range of worldly restrictions, and there are probably many methods... You have to be careful."

When Li Daoxuan heard this, he suddenly looked up and then asked: "You said he can hear us talking here?"

"Of course I can, I'm just dying, not dead."

Before Zuo Xiaowen opened his mouth, a majestic voice came from behind him, making him tremble and almost fall to his knees.

Li Daoxuan put his hand on the butcher's knife and looked cautiously at the wild god who suddenly appeared but was not in a hurry to take action.

He should be attached to his idol.

It has the body of a tiger and holds a big knife in its hand. The tiger's head is ferocious and lifelike, but what Li Daoxuan noticed is that the tiger's head is missing a left ear.

Only the right ear remains.

But the wild god suddenly appeared behind Zuo Xiaowen, but he didn't rush to take action.

"You two, don't even think about plotting against me. As long as I don't show up, you won't be able to find me!"

The tiger statue did not open its mouth, but it made a majestic sound.

Zuo Xiaowen took the opportunity to crawl to Li Daoxuan's side. This time he didn't care about safety.

Anyway, no matter how unsafe Li Daoxuan is, he is not as dangerous as this wild god.

"Oh?"

Li Daoxuan is interested, so is this going to be hide and seek?
  The tiger statue continued: "You two mistakenly entered my restriction. As long as I don't let you out, you will be trapped here forever!"

"Of course, it's not impossible for me to let you go... As long as you deal with those evil spirits for me, I will let you go."

After hearing this, Li Daoxuan finally spoke.

"So...are you negotiating terms with us?"

Before he finished speaking, the butcher knife in his hand suddenly lengthened and pierced the arm of the tiger statue.

He exerted more force, and the right hand of the tiger statue holding the stone knife was broken.

Kill decisively, and do it if you don't accept it.

The reckless butcher will not tell you so many great truths. What can be said with a knife will never be told with your mouth.

In fact, this was indeed the case. His sword scared Zuo Xiaowen.

It even made this wild god feel his strength.

"You... are strong."

Ye Shen lost his arrogance at the beginning, and his voice became more serious when he turned around, "Although you are still far behind me when I was at my peak, but looking at it now, you have the qualifications to be friends with my peers."

With a thought in his mind, Li Daoxuan retracted his butcher's knife. He still said nothing, but looked lazily at the stone statue in front of him.

"I would like to ask you to eliminate these evil spirits for me, is that okay?"

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Li Daoxuan's face.

Sure enough, some people, some ghosts, and even some gods are hard-edged rather than soft-hearted.

He stretched out his left hand and pinched it with his thumb, index and middle fingers.

Ye Shen didn't understand what he meant and made a confused sound.

"Make an offer."

Li Daoxuan said angrily.

"Oh, this, how about five merits?"

Hearing this price, Li Daoxuan thought of himself before going to Red Lantern Square. At that time, he had to fight for a single merit, and he might not even be able to earn it.

But after the Red Lantern Workshop is over...well, you still have to be strong!
  If you have strength, you will be confident in whatever you say. For example, now...

"not enough."

"Is that less?"

The person who spoke was not Ye Shen, but Zuo Xiaowen, who was not very bright at the side. When he heard about merit, he was already a little surprised.

The result is still five!

What I didn't expect was that there were not enough people around me!

Li Daoxuan glanced at him coldly. This man was not a good teammate.

If Fang Jie were here, he would definitely say, "You only have five merits, but you still want to win over me, Brother Li? It's almost like a dog!"

"Then how much do you want?" The stone statue said human words.

"Ten merits, if one is missing, we won't have to talk about it."

What Li Daoxuan admires is not those few merits, but the trouble hidden in the mountain that can inspire people's greed!

That's what suits him best.

Although the seeds have not been planted in the body yet and the troubles cannot be conquered, it is good to know where they are in advance and to determine the scope.

When I return from Shanshui City, I can pick it up directly on the way.

"Expensive."

Ye Shen told the truth.

Li Daoxuan asked again: "Have you ever seen people bargaining for prices when buying medicine?"

"make a deal."

Ye Shen clearly understood the situation. No matter how important the merit was, it was not as important as its life.

[You have reached a deal with the Mountain Tiger God in the Ghost Mountains. You will eradicate the evil spirits in his territory for him. But remember, while controlling your lower body, you must also remember that if a fly does not bite a seamless egg, your survival points will be +6 (green). 】

"This is the deposit, half of it will be given to you in advance."

As he said this, a budding grass suddenly grew out of the ground, right in front of Li Daoxuan.

The bud is opened, and five golden merits are placed inside.

Li Daoxuan conveniently put it back into his purse, and the budding grass returned to the ground.

"It's a good way."

"I am leaving."

After the Mountain Tiger God finished speaking, the stone statue jumped up the mountain as if it had horns.

Li Daoxuan looked back at Zuo Xiaowen, who was still a little shocked, and asked: "How did you join the Gu sect?"

People with such a character should be accepted by the Gu sect?

Could it be that he took a fancy to his innocent heart?

Zuo Xiaowen's face seemed a little depressed, "I was born to be a member of the Gu sect, and I don't want to."

So this is a "second generation Gu"?
  Li Daoxuan shook his head, "Did your Gu insect see anything?"

"No... that stone statue is not his true body, and I can't find where his true body is... He seems to be very powerful."

Zuo Xiaowen coughed again as he spoke.

"I'm going to help this wild god get rid of those evil spirits now. Do you want to go...I might use the Yin Candle to attract those evil spirits."

Li Daoxuan didn't want to take him with him.

"If you don't want to go, I'll just wait for you here... When you deal with the evil spirits, this god will probably let me out."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he turned around and left with great determination.

As for the direction, the Mountain Tiger God had just told him where the evil spirit was now.

Looking at Li Daoxuan's back, Zuo Xiaowen seemed to be saying something, but in an extremely low voice.

The surroundings were quiet, and you could vaguely hear him saying, "Gu Chong said that this wild god has also been contaminated..."

"The wild gods are also tainted."

It's a pity that Zuo Xiaowen said it too quietly, as if he was telling the wind, but the wind didn't send the news to Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan left.

Zuo Xiaowen's natal Gu flew back and was swallowed by him. He sat down on the spot and leaned forward, and then his legs began to turn to stone.

In the end, there were no people on the roadside, except for a strange-shaped stone.

In the temple on the top of the mountain, the statue jumped out of the door and returned to the shrine.

At this point, in addition to the missing ear, He is also missing a hand and a knife.

A dark figure emerged from the corner of the temple, muttering, "It's cold, but you still have to eat a living person to keep yourself warm and warm."

Then the black shadow got back into the statue.

The sound of conversation suddenly sounded inside the statue, like two little people whispering.

"He, he is from Twitch City, I have seen him..."

Li Daoxuan walked slowly on the mountain road, his pace was not fast because he was reading the words on the panel.

[Walking in this chaotic world of five turbidities, you have not discovered that this mountain tiger god is actually polluted. 】

[The man in Gu Sect has reservations about you. If you go back now, you might be able to learn some truth from him. Your survival points will be +4 (green). 】

　Thanks to Mr. Chuan for the 100-point reward
