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

Chapter 135: The familiar ghost of Red Lantern Square——Trouble and Lust [[-] words for monthly vote]

Li Daoxuan has always been a person who listens to advice.

Especially follow the panel’s advice.

After all, listen to others' advice and eat enough... So when this text appeared on the panel, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately returned to the original route.

The grass is empty.

When Li Daoxuan returned here along the original road, he did not see the figure of the Gu sect again, nor did he see a living person.

His right hand was naturally placed on the butcher's knife, his eyes wandering around, wary of his surroundings.

He has never dealt with people from the Gu sect, but he has always heard that the methods of these Gu god believers are very bizarre.

In other words, they themselves have no means, but the Gu insects they raise are extremely rare.

For example, if you can smell it, you can use it to lift up the sky.

There are also transsexual poisons that penetrate the body and turn men into women.

What's more, it is said that certain Gu insects in the Zhongjiu world can turn cats, foxes, dogs and other creatures into living people.

So, it’s okay for a person to turn into stone?

Li Daoxuan's butcher's knife was hanging on the strange-shaped stone at some point. He lowered his head slightly and asked, "Are you stupid or am I stupid?"

"If I am really stupid, you can't deceive me like a fool, right?"

As he spoke, he shouted loudly, "If you don't come out, you'll die!"

"Shitou", who was still a stone, shivered, the petrification on his body faded away, and he fell to the ground directly into a man.

"Ouch, haven't you already gone to kill Xie Sui and why are you still here to torment me?"

Zuo Xiaowen looked very embarrassed.

Li Dao

"It's not because there is nothing to eat. After turning into stone, I can no longer eat or drink."

Zuo Xiaowen sat on the grass with a sad look on his face.

"We agreed that I won't accompany you to kill Xie Sui. If you want to kill him, you can kill him yourself."

"Okay, if you don't go, you won't go."

Li Daoxuan didn't feel embarrassed, he just inserted the butcher's knife between his legs and sneered: "Tell me, what else do you know?"

Zuo Xiaowen quickly shrank back.

"This wild god is also polluted."

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"You...you didn't ask me either."

When Li Daoxuan heard this, he just stared at him without saying anything, but the butcher knife in his hand grew longer inch by inch.

Zuo Xiaowen was finally defeated and said: "My Gu found a ghost in his temple, and then he was still talking to the ghost. I don't know anything else."

"Is He still in His temple?"

"My Gu was still there when I left, but I don't know about it now."

Zuo Xiaowen gradually told the truth.

"Come on, let's go up and have a look."

Li Daoxuan said, and walked directly towards the mountain path up the mountain, but as soon as he lifted his legs, Zuo Xiaowen said:

"If there is a mountain with gods, you must first worship the mountain before you can climb it."

As he spoke, he took out three sticks of sacred incense from his shroud ghost, lit them, stood on the roadside and bowed seriously three times towards the nameless mountain.

Finally, these three sacred incense sticks were planted on the roadside.

Let it burn.

Li Daoxuan just watched silently, and text immediately appeared on the panel.

[People on the roadside light incense and worship the wild god. Before climbing the mountain, if you know that there is a god on the mountain, it is best to offer some incense first so that nothing will happen to you. 】

"What do you think I went up to do?"

Li Daoxuan looked at Zuo Xiaowen who was burning incense and was quite speechless.

"I'm going to go up and overthrow His temple, and you still expect me to burn incense and ask for offerings to Him?"

After saying that, he strode up the mountain road.

Zuo Xiaowen stayed where he was. After hesitating for a few seconds, he didn't dare to stay here anymore and chose to follow.

The mountain road is quiet and quiet, and the further you go up, the quieter it becomes.

The ground was also covered with moss, and it seemed that no one had set foot on it for a long time.

Vaguely, there were still bursts of bird calls coming from the mountain forest. Li Daoxuan discovered through the eyes of the dead that the ground, wherever the stone statue had stepped on, had indeed left scarlet marks.

He hesitated for a moment and was about to use the common technique of "Knowing Qi" to check it out first.

The panel will prompt again immediately.

[No matter how small the wild god is, he is still a god. You must not look directly at the god in the art of looking at the spirit. I hope that the reckless pig butcher will not be too reckless. 】

"Damn you."

Li Daoxuan had no choice but to speed up his pace and throw away Zuo Xiaowen behind him.

When he climbed to the top of the mountain, the sun was setting in the west, the sky and the earth were gradually getting dark, and the temple door in front of him was open, like a ghost with its huge mouth open, waiting for Li Daoxuan to enter.

Behind him, Zuo Xiaowen followed him panting.

Li Daoxuan looked back at him and guessed that he had used some other means, otherwise he would not have been so fast.

But when he looked back at the temple again, he discovered that at some point, someone had lit a candle in the originally dark temple.

"Go in?"

Zuo Xiaowen asked from behind.

Li Daoxuan ignored it and took out a candle directly from the sumeru on his waist.

A flawless white candle.

As soon as he took it out, a familiar smell of corpse oil spread out.

"You don't want to die!"

When Zuo Xiaowen saw this, he didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and jumped into the bushes on the side. Before he landed, he turned into a stone.

There was no trace of popularity or ghostliness about him.

Completely turned into a stone.

Looking at this scene, Li Daoxuan was also a little impressed. This method was completely the magic of survival, but he didn't know if he could keep pretending.

Hmm... I don't know if I can snatch his Gu insects and use them for my own use.

But now is obviously not the time to provoke this Gu sect member.

Li Daoxuan inserted the Yin Zhu into the ground with his backhand, and at the same time said to Zuo Xiaowen: "Although every ghost has its own rules of attack, all ghosts are equal in front of the Yin Zhu."

After that, a faint blue light emanated from the candle and spread all around.

It also shines into the temple.

In just an instant, the oil lamp in the temple was knocked over, and then there was a rustling sound, as if something ran down from the shrine.

A rat.

A very big rat.

It looks similar to the ghost Li Daoxuan saw in Bai Jun's tomb in Yinhundang, but this one is obviously much uglier.

The yellow-black hair on his body seemed to have been burned by fire.

At this moment, the mouse was squatting next to Yin Zhu, devouring the incense.

[Oil-eating rat: Any temple where a god is seated will raise an oil-eating rat. They were originally the assistants of the gods, but for some reason, this oil-eating rat turned into an evil spirit. 】

Li Daoxuan waited for a few breaths, but did not wait for other evil spirits to appear in the temple.

It means that there is indeed only one evil spirit here. Otherwise, if there were others, it would be impossible to resist the temptation of this dark candle... and we can't wait any longer.

If we wait any longer, let alone the evil spirit here that has not come out, other evil spirits in the forest will come.

He slashed with all his strength, directly chopped the rat's head into pieces, and also chopped off the Yin Candle.

The rat's head fell to the ground, and the body turned into an oil pan on an oil lamp, with some lamp oil on it.

Before Li Dao

"No."

Li Daoxuan put it away and put it in Sumeru.

"Huh? But there are no other evil spirits here." Zuo Xiaowen seemed completely unaware of Li Daoxuan's emotions, and still asked without understanding.

"This is just the lowest level C-level evil spirit. How can it be capable of bewitching gods?"

"At most, he's just a messenger."

Li Daoxuan said and stepped directly into the temple.

The dead man's eyes were mostly blood red, and it was obvious that many places had been contaminated, especially in the corner on the right side of the entrance, which was extremely scarlet.

Of course, there are also places that have not been contaminated. For example, the futon under the altar has no blood at all.

It's just that Li Daoxuan still dare not use his dead eyes to look directly at the statue. [Knowing Qi] is a common skill like looking at Qi.

To a certain extent, the same is true for Dead Eyes.

He first walked to the bright red corner, and before he even got close, he could smell a strong fishy smell coming to his nostrils.

In the dimness, you can still see some black stains on the corners of the wall.

It's like those chapped spots where people haven't showered for a long time and have been rubbed on them.

Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry. After a few glances, he returned to the statue and looked up at the stone statue he had seen not long ago.

He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Come out now, and we can still talk."

The stone statue remained motionless and showed no reaction at all.

Li Daoxuan didn't have a good temper, so he jumped up and kicked the stone statue to the ground.

With a "bang" sound, the stone statue bounced a little after falling to the ground.

Then the stone statue head broke directly and split into two.

[You rudely destroyed the statue of the Mountain Tiger God, and you incurred his wrath. Your survival points +10 (green). 】

Li Daoxuan added a point casually without being moved at all.

From the moment he decided to climb the mountain to come to this temple, he had been prepared to become the enemy of the mountain tiger god.

"Grain Eater, you have no credibility and you destroyed my idol. You will face the wrath of this god!"

A majestic voice sounded within the temple. It was unknown where it came from, but the sound echoed in an extremely dull tone.

Zuo Xiaowen, who had just wanted to come in, backed out again.

Li Daoxuan glanced around and found no abnormalities, then used the lengthened butcher knife to take out the uncontaminated futon from the bottom of the shrine.

Before he could check it, the panel had already given the answer.

[The futon Zhike Monk sat on: Sitting on it can calm the mind, calm the breath, and speed up recovery. 】

Li Daoxuan looked at the broken stone statue again.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he just saw that the stone statue seemed to move, but when he looked again, there was no reaction at all.

Like an illusion.

After picking up a good thing, Li Daoxuan's mood naturally improved a lot. While putting away the futon, he came to the pile of dirt in the corner again.

He scraped a little black putty with a butcher's knife, and then took out a paper crane from Sumeru.

Ghost hunting origami cranes.

He scraped the black putty into the body of the paper crane, and then lit the tail of the paper crane on the candlelight of the shrine.

Li Daoxuan removed his hand, and the ghost-seeking paper crane hovered in the air.

The next moment, Zhihe opened his eyes.

He flapped his wings and flew away from the temple.

Ghost hunting origami cranes.

Ghost hunt!

The ghost staying in the corner of the temple is probably there all the time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left such a clear and obvious mark on this corner. Unfortunately, Li Daoxuan's ghost-hunting paper crane is specifically designed for ghosts who don't clean their tails.

He followed the paper crane out of the temple.

Then we went straight to the back of the mountain.

The south of the mountain is yang, and the north of the mountain is yin.

The Yin side, where Yin energy gathers, is often a place where ghosts and ghosts hide.

Zuo Xiaowen asked hurriedly: "Where are you going?"

Li Daoxuan did not answer and disappeared into the increasingly dense night.

Zuo Xiaowen looked at Li Daoxuan's disappearing back, then looked at the temple, but ultimately did not choose to follow him.

Instead, he chose to return to this mountain forest and attempted to turn into a stone.

But the moment he turned around, he saw a face, a pale and bloodless woman's face, with bulging eyes and tongue hanging out.

Zuo Xiaowen just wanted to shout.

But this female ghost directly blocked Zuo Xiaowen's mouth with her mouth.

Within a moment, Zuo Xiaowen was dragged deep into the forest.

Not even the slightest struggle.

……

When Li Daoxuan came to the back of the mountain, he could already see dots of will-o'-the-wisps on the mountainside.

If he were in his previous life, he would definitely believe in science and think this is some kind of phosphorus fire.

But unfortunately, this world doesn't care about science now... So when he appeared here, the will-o'-the-wisps scattered in all directions.

You can still vaguely hear their "squeaking" noises.

As if he was about to be bullied.

Finally they all hid among the trees and disappeared.

After the paper crane arrived, it still didn't stop, but flew straight down the mountain.

There was no road in the mountains, so Li Daoxuan had no choice but to hold a knife with one hand, cut a path through the mountains, and cut off the obstructing branches with one knife. Later, he had to jump between the branches.

Perhaps it was the vitality exposed when he swung the sword that actually made those little ghost-like ghosts dare not approach.

He didn't have time to see what was inside the will-o'-the-wisp, so he chased the paper crane straight down the mountain.

In this dim and blurry night, Li Daoxuan finally saw clearly what the scene was like at the foot of the mountain.

a village.

A village crawling in the night, at the foot of the sacred mountain, silent, without a trace of insects or dogs barking, no sound, and no night fire.

It's like a dead village.

After the ghost-hunting paper crane arrived here, it circled around the same place, and finally burned itself and turned into a handful of ashes blown away by the night wind.

Ghost, right here.

But for some reason, the ghost-seeking paper crane did not go any further into the village, but chose to spontaneously combust.

Logically speaking, the paper crane will burn spontaneously only when the ghost you are looking for is actually seen, but why is this happening now...

Could it be that the ghost is actually here?

Li Daoxuan's thoughts flashed across his mind, and he subconsciously used his dead eyes. Everything he looked at was covered in blood.

It does not appear in the temple, but the color deepens, representing the place where ghosts often live.

But this is normal... The turbidity of troubles pollutes everywhere, and everything you see is polluted.

If it were something as uncontaminated as that futon, that would be abnormal.

Li Daoxuan didn't notice anything unusual, which only meant that the ghost was in the village.

He looked to the right and saw a dead old locust tree at the entrance of the village.

Under the old locust tree, there is a stone tablet.

Nanshan Village.

This village is called Nanshan Village. Could it be that the mountain where the temple is located is called Nanshan?
  And this ghost is a ghost in the village... Li Daoxuan took a deep breath, took a step forward, and crossed the place where the paper cranes were burned.

The panel appears.

[Walking in this worldly wilderness, you who have just come out of Hand Witch City seem to have met an old friend you met at Red Lantern Square. Remember, control your lower body, your survival points +6 (green). 】

Judging from the meaning of the panel... is this the troublesome one from the red lantern shop, the one that can inspire people's lust?
  Li Daoxuan remembered what the panel and Bai Jun said at that time. The worry itself was not something in the Red Lantern Square, but was imprisoned by Gu Yu or the ancestor of the Gu family who turned into a ghost mother-in-law at that time.

Later, Bai Jun killed Gu Yu, the realm dissipated, and the worry Zhuo left.

So, after that troublemaker left Red Lantern Square, he came here?
  In other words, it itself is here, and now, there are actually two defilements here, superimposed into one? !

Li Daoxuan was a little lucky. Fortunately, he was the one who came this time.

If Zhou Xu or Bai Jun were there, in addition to resisting ghosts, they would also have to devote their attention to resisting troubles and turbidity, which would be troublesome.

While thinking about it, he had already entered the village.

The turbidity of calamity is here, and the turbidity of affliction is also here.

So as long as we clean up the weird things in this village, it will probably be fine.

The village was silent except for the sound of Li Daoxuan's footsteps on the sand. He did not leave in a hurry, but came to a nearby house.

The wooden door was closed tightly. Li Daoxuan tried to push it open, but it was locked and there was a bolt.

But this didn't stop him. He pulled out the butcher's knife and poked it directly into the crack of the door. A "clang" broke the silence of Nanshan Village and removed the door bolt.

The door opened.

There was a soft "bang" sound inside, like the sound of something being dropped. Li Daoxuan entered the room and looked around.

An ordinary layout, with two rooms connected to the left of the living room and the kitchen to the right.

The sound just now came from the kitchen.

Li Daoxuan did not rush in, but first came to the square table in the living room and poured a cup of tea.

I touched a little on my hand and it was warm. It was still burned this morning. Does this mean that even if it is a ghost, it has only just arrived?
  Li Daoxuan just came to the kitchen. It was quiet all around and he didn't move. After listening for a while, he noticed it.

There are still people in this room, and there are living people.

As for the specific location, he quickly found and confirmed it.

Under the rice vat in this kitchen.

"I am a human being, a grain eater from outside... I am going to open the rice vat now. Don't shout. If you shout, you will attract the ghosts. Do you understand me?"

Since he met a living person, Li Daoxuan naturally wanted to ask about the situation in the village.

"I understand...I understand."

A man's trembling voice came from under the rice vat.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Daoxuan directly took away the rice vat, which was clean enough to slip against a mouse.

What was exposed underneath was a dark hole with two human heads squeezed together.

It was obvious that this was a group of couples, clinging to each other and breathing very heavily. This was partly due to fear, but also due to being polluted by troubles and stimulating lust.

Li Daoxuan didn't say any more nonsense and directly stretched out his hand to lift the man out.

"Do you know what a grain eater is?"

"I know."

The men were so frightened that they nodded repeatedly. After all, the Mountain Tiger God had told them that when they went out, they should be wary of ghosts, thefts, and grain eaters.

Li Daoxuan then casually threw the man aside and put the rice vat back.

He didn't want the woman to come out.

"What is the situation in your Nanshan Village?" Li Daoxuan sat down at the door.

The man seemed to be sensible and did not make a fuss to seek death. Instead, he crawled to Li Daoxuan and lowered his voice and said:

"There are also ghosts in our Nanshan Village..."

"You've never had a ghost before?"

When Li Daoxuan discovered that there were still living people in the village, he felt very strange. In this wild place, in a village in the Ghost Mountains, there were actually living people.

This is no less than finding a living person in a red lantern shop.

The man shook his head, "No, our village has always been protected by the Mountain Tiger God. There were no ghosts and no evil spirits came here, but today... no, I heard that there were ghosts a few days ago."

The man thought of something, shuddered, and shrank his head again.

It seems that the mountain tiger god was relatively well at first... Li Daoxuan asked again: "Tell me what happened to the ghosts in your village?"

The man took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and then said: "The ghost in our village is a female ghost, Liu Laosan's wife... She has almost sucked Liu Laosan dry, and she went there again this morning Suck Zhou Hei.”

"I didn't expect to be bumped into by Liu Laosan. She...she took off the heads of Liu Laosan and Zhou Hei."

As he spoke, the man also made a gesture of moving something.

"That's it, I just removed the person's head."

"Then how did you know?" Li Daoxuan was not very panicked after hearing this man's explanation.

Because from his description, this is just an ordinary Class C evil spirit.

Of course, we don’t rule out the possibility that these ordinary people don’t know much.

"At that time, some villagers were passing by and saw... that woman's body is really good, no, no, she's just a ghost..."

I don't know what this man was thinking, but his eyes gradually widened.

His mind was controlled by lust, and the pollution became more and more serious.

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and gave him a loud slap in the face.

With a "pop--", the man came to his senses, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and nodded repeatedly.

"I don't think about it anymore, I can't bear it anymore."

As he said that, he turned to look at the rice vat again, wanting to satisfy his lust.

But Li Daoxuan felt that he could only be solved by lust, but it was impossible to solve lust.

"Are there any other ghosts?"

"One ghost can kill us all. If there are other ghosts...then do we still have a way to survive?"

The man looked extremely frightened after hearing Li Daoxuan's question.

But at this moment, there was a strange noise outside the door.

"Den-"

"Den-"

It looked like someone was jumping and walking.

Li Daoxuan didn't speak, and the man was stunned for a moment. Then he pointed to the door and said silently: "Ghost, the ghost is here."

Of course Li Daoxuan knew that a ghost was coming.

He stood up with the butcher's knife and said directly: "This is not the female ghost you mentioned. There are other ghosts in this village."

The man opened his mouth in surprise.

"Go in and hide."

Li Daoxuan had no intention of embarrassing ordinary people, and even kindly reminded him.

"Remember to control your lower body."

The man had already moved the rice vat away, but he didn't know if he listened to Li Daoxuan's words.

The reason why Li Daoxuan was sure that this was not the head-moving female ghost that the man said was...the ghost on the road outside the door was jumping on its feet.

Still hopping on one foot.

Just when Li Daoxuan was about to go out to see what was going on, he heard another voice before he could even lift his foot.

"Damn, there's a ghost here, fuck it!"

This tone... is so reckless!
  At the same time that this thought came to Li Daoxuan's mind, he had already walked out of the room.

Coincidentally, at the moment when he came out, he saw one leg, and only one leg, suddenly jumped up from the street, jumped dozens of feet, fell to the end of the village, and disappeared into the endless darkness. middle.

The shape of this ghost is a human leg.

That's why that person was so surprised.

Yes, besides the ghost who just jumped away, there are two more people on this street.

The two people standing under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village were very strange. They were not the Gu sect member Zuo Xiaowen that Li Daoxuan had met before.

And these two are grain eaters.

Li Daoxuan saw their identities, and they naturally saw that Li Daoxuan was a grain eater.

The bearded man who spoke earlier took a step forward, raised his head towards Li Daoxuan, and said, "That handsome brother, are you trapped here too and unable to get out?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a little fond of him, and there was a smile on his face.

Without him.

Just looking at this big man, Li Daoxuan felt that he was a talent, "Yes, this old man too?"

Li Daoxuan walked down the steps and spoke condescendingly to others, which was impolite.

"Yes, yes, my name is Yan Kuan. This is also the brother I just met. His name is Wei Xiaowei. Now the three of us are dogs in distress."

Yan Kuan laughed.

Li Daoxuan has a black line on his head.

Wei Xiaowei awkwardly patted the man on the shoulder and said, "That's a tiger in distress, not a dog in distress."

"It's a tiger, it's a tiger. Look at my brain. I just haven't read many books."

Yan Kuan slapped his forehead in frustration.

Li Daoxuan came closer and said with a smile: "I met two brothers in the lower section."

Yan Kuan laughed again, looking extremely heroic...and brainless, "You can see that my brother is a scholar."

"I have read a few miscellaneous books in my free time."

Wei Xiaowei took the opportunity to say: "Brother Fang, how long have you been here? Have you discovered anything?"

"I just came here. It's... pretty good here. There are still living people. The ghosts only appeared recently, and they were only exposed this morning."

"A female ghost who can remove heads directly, and then there is another one, the one we just saw."

Li Daoxuan said and cast an inquiring look at them again.

Yan Kuan waved his hand, "We were wandering around in the mountains earlier. Brother Wei used dirt to find out there was a ghost here, so we came to take a look. Then before we even entered the village, we saw the one-legged ghost just now. .”

From this point of view, it seems that they have never seen the mountain tiger god, or that the mountain tiger god has not taken the initiative to see them... Li Daoxuan thought again of the ghost-hunting paper cranes burned at the entrance of the village.

The ghost in the temple is also in this village.

There are only two ghosts found in this village so far. So is the ghost in the temple one of these two, or...is there a third ghost in this village?

"The strength of that one-legged ghost looks pretty good. This is a good piece of material. Let's go, let's go and get it!"

Wei Xiaowei's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Haha, how can a one-legged ghost do this? Brother Fang just said that there is another female ghost here...hehehehehe."

Yan Kuan showed a smile that every man knows, and it was also very... wretched.

When Wei Xiaowei saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yan, what you said before... you have slept with ghosts, are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm telling you, as long as you have a swim bladder, you don't have to worry about a ghost contaminating you... provided you can subdue the ghost."

"This ghost is really different from a human. It's so tight!"

The more Yan Kuan thought about it, the harder he breathed.

This is a ruthless man... Li Daoxuan actually had a little admiration for him in his heart.

This Yan Kuan is a ruthless character like Ning Caichen, even surpassing Ning Caichen.

Others are riding a tiger and can't get off, but this person is riding a ghost and can't get off.

Seeing that Li Daoxuan remained silent, Yan Kuan became interested, "Brother Fang, doesn't he have the same view? You should have tried this ghost, right?"

"No, I didn't. Don't accuse me wrongly."

Li Daoxuan said seriously.

Seeing his reaction, Wei Xiaowei murmured in his heart... This man's reaction seemed a bit violent. Could it be that he really had slept with a ghost?

"Brothers, be careful. In addition to the tribulation ghosts, there are also two troubles here. One can inspire people's greed, and the other can inspire people's lust. Especially the latter...be sure to be careful. .”

While Li Daoxuan changed the topic, he also gave them a heads up.

"Mom, are you worried?"

"Snapped--"

Yan Kuan quickly gave himself a big mouth to wake up, "I said why the reaction was so big, it turns out there is this ghost thing."

Li Daoxuan also took advantage of this moment to observe the details of the two of them.

This carefree and startled Yan Kuan is a [barber].

Wei Xiaowei, who was gloomy and silent, was just like him, a seventh-rate [thief].

"Come on, let's go in and have a look together?"

Li Daoxuan looked back at Nanshan Village.

"Walk."

Yan Kuan rubbed his hands, "Killing ghosts and getting materials is really a great blessing in the world!"

Wei Xiaowei nodded and said nothing. He just took a step back and used the common technique [Stepping on Early Clearance] to hide his body and said at the same time: "Okay."

"You guys, what are you doing to make this awesome?"

Yan Kuan was dissatisfied with his pretense.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the void. He could see Wei Xiaowei's figure in front of the dead man.

But he thought of something else.

Wei Xiaowei has already become invisible before he sees the ghost.

This shows that he has been on the early morning journey for a long time, and he has eaten the foundation of a thief.

Li Daoxuan and Yan Kuan walked side by side on the street, while Wei Xiaowei hung far behind them.

The appearance of a dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist made Li Daoxuan feel a little unhappy.

Yan Kuan was even more direct, cursing: "If you are timid, you are timid. I am embarrassed to admit it."

Just after passing a few houses, a scream came from the side, someone was killed!
  There was no need for Li Daoxuan to say anything. The moment he turned around, Yan Kuan also followed him with his legs raised.

In just a few breaths, the two of them stopped in front of a residential house. The doors and windows were locked, but there were several meatballs growing on the door.

If you look closely, you can see a bloody handprint on the door panel.

No ghosts were seen.

"I gonna go see."

Yan Kuan's face was calm, and his words were very able to give people a sense of security.

He took out a glove from the shroud ghost and put it on his hand. He punched the door open and punched it open.

"Bang -" After a dull sound, his voice came out.

"No ghost, but something weird!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Daoxuan had already entered the room.

On the ground inside the house, two corpses were lying, a group of couples. Their bodies were shriveled, like mummies formed after a long period of death.

Yan Kuan glanced at Li Daoxuan in surprise and muttered: "Brother Fang is so fast."

Li Daoxuan ignored them, but squatted on the ground and reached out to touch the two mummies.

"Not long after he died, he was sucked dry by that ghost."

Compared to the little energy and blood he had sucked away by Painted Skin Ghost at that time, this was actually being sucked dry.

He was sucked and fucked directly.

"But the ghost didn't come in. Instead, he sucked them dry right at the door."

Yan Kuan said and looked back at the door, but did not see Wei Xiaowei's figure. He frowned displeased, "Old Wei."

"I'll stand guard at the door for you two."

The man's voice came from the door.

Li Daoxuan ignored him, stood up and said, "Let's go, that ghost is no longer here."

He had a vague intuition that the evil spirit that bewitched and polluted the Mountain Tiger God was the ghost in front of him that was sucking people dry through the wall.

The two came out of the house, Wei Xiaowei was still invisible.

Li Daoxuan looked at the meat balls on the door again.

He was wondering if this thing could belong to the ghost. He wondered if he could use this to find the ghost.

And the most important thing is, why did the ghost only kill people in this family?

Or just kill the person and run away.

Are you worried that some of you will catch it and kill it?
  "I'll try to see if I can find it."

As he spoke, Yan Kuan once again took out a short pipe from the shroud ghost. He stuffed some black stuff into the pipe, lit it, took a puff and exhaled the smoke.

The smoke that was exhaled did not dissipate, but turned into a circle, and then floated straight ahead.

"There is a ghost ahead, but I don't know which one it is. Follow it and take a look first."

Yan Kuan said, putting away his cigarette and retching.

"Can't get used to smoking?"

Li Daoxuan asked as he followed him.

Yan Kuan retched again, "Do you know what the frontier fortress here is?"

"Not tobacco?"

"It's the undigested stuff left in the stomach after the body dies. It's called [the dead man's stomach meal]."

Li Daoxuan's stomach was churning, and he quickly quickened his pace.

But Wei Xiaowei walked faster... Li Daoxuan squinted at the man's back through his dead eyes.

A feeling arose in his heart.

He seems to know how this person improves his strength. It is simply that the ability of the [thief] profession has been maximized.

And this kind of person can be described by a sentence that Li Daoxuan met in his previous life.

"There is a way to die!"

But he didn't say anything. The three of them followed the smoke ring to a house on the edge of the village, where clothes were hanging to dry at the door.

There was also a strange sound coming from the room.

A woman was being beaten, screaming miserably.

When Li Daoxuan heard this movement, he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, when he turned to look at Yan Kuan...

But he found that this man was already blushing, so he rushed forward and broke down the door.

The sounds in the house were even stranger.

Wei Xiaowei followed closely behind.

He also wanted to go, but he remembered the prompts on the panel and the encounter in the Red Lantern Shop.

He quickly went through all the disgusting scenes he had experienced since Painted Skin in his mind, and then he lowered his head forcefully.

But the next moment, a ragged woman stumbled out of the house, holding a few pieces of clothing in her arms.

When she saw Li Daoxuan standing at the door, she was a little surprised, and then showed a charming expression.

"Three big men bullying a weak woman, what kind of skills do they have~"

ps: I mentioned in the group a few days ago that there will be more updates, and here they are! Let’s start with a brief update of a [-]-word chapter. Don’t worry, there will be more during the day~
  For the sake of my hard work, it’s not too much to ask for a monthly ticket.

　I just took a look, and a few hundred words were deleted... You should be able to tell which parts were deleted.

　　That's the end.

　　I asked why the 9000-word update has become more than [-]. Don’t panic, it’s still available during the day!
