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

Chapter 141 Something happened to Tian Cai, and there was no hope for him!

[You ask someone to ask for "juicy rice" from the head of the Cui family in Shanshui City, but he looks a little surprised. You realize that this trip may not be so smooth. Your survival points are +5 (green). 】

The text that popped up on the panel made Li Daoxuan's heart freeze.

"Has anyone else collected this thing?" Li Daoxuan asked.

"The ghost decorator came to collect it yesterday. Not only did he collect it from our Cui family, he also went to the Zhong family to collect it."

"If he accepts it, it will be sold out?"

Yan Kuan felt that he had not helped Li Daoxuan and glared.

Cui Lang said matter-of-factly: "I'm giving you twice the market price. If I put this thing in your hands, you won't sell it?"

"Sell!"

Yan Kuan blurted out, and then looked at Li Daoxuan with a bitter look on his face.

"Degenerate ghost decorator?"

Li Daoxuan placed his hope in Tian Cai. It would be okay if he took it away in advance.

"Correct."

Cui Lang nodded, making Li Daoxuan feel more at ease, "Is it Tian Cai, a short, fat man carrying an iron stove on his back?"

"This……"

Cui Lang shook his head, "The degenerate ghost decorator here in Shanshui City is a woman with a pockmarked face, named Luoying."

"what?!"

This news made Li Daoxuan unable to sit still.

This juice containing rice was not taken away by Tian Cai, but by this Luoying, and all of it ended up in his hands... Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice:

"Are there really none left? Are there any left in the hands of those idle grain eaters?"

"It's probably gone...our Cui family has records of such materials and filth, and even if there are, there are very few of them, so it's hard for us to find them."

Cui Lang told the truth, "Let's do this. I will light the paper money now and call Luoying over to ask if she still has the juice and rice in her hand."

He sincerely wanted to help Li Daoxuan.

Without him, Li Daoxuan, as the new city lord of Shouwu City, is definitely the most influential figure in Shouwu City.

And this is my first time coming to Shanshui City.

If this good relationship can be formed, it might be of great benefit to the Cui family in reunifying Shanshui City in the future.

After all, the city is so big and no one is in the habit of sharing it.

"also."

Li Daoxuan did not reject his kindness.

Cui Lang immediately took out a piece of blood-stained paper money from the sumeru, lit it on a nearby candle, and threw it on the ground.

The dark red wooden door emerged, and the deep path behind it was shadowy.

Not long after, there was the sound of dragging footsteps, but there was no sound of the collision of chains that Li Daoxuan was familiar with.

"Crunch——" a sound sounded.

The dark red wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and an old woman with silver hair walked out. She carried a bamboo basket covered with linen on her arm. She was bent and hunched over, as if she was about to die.

"Master Cui, hey, this is not the boy from the Yan family who went to Shenwu City, you are back too."

Luoying said slowly, and finally looked at Li Daoxuan.

He frowned and said, "You smell like another ghost decorator. You are not from Shanshui City."

Li Daoxuan ignored it, and Cui Lang said:

"Aunt Luo, do you still have the rice with juice you collected yesterday? My friend wants a portion."

"You want this too?"

Luoying was also a little surprised.

"Yes, are there any more?" Li Daoxuan said bluntly.

"No." Luoying shook her head, "This was originally arranged for me to collect it, and I handed it over after receiving it."

Li Daoxuan thought of the nine levels of supreme believers that Bai Jun had said.

Generally speaking, people like Tian Cai and Luo Ying are the lowest new believers in the system of ghostly costumed masters, and above them are the official disciples.

After Tian Cai gained so many benefits from Li Daoxuan, he was finally promoted to become a formal disciple.

"Did Tian Cai ask you to collect it?"

As soon as Li Daoxuan finished speaking, Luoying's expression changed drastically, "You are from Shouwu City, you are that Li Daoxuan!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the wooden door.

When the wooden door closed with a clang, two pieces of blood-stained paper money were thrown out.

"Master Cui, don't come to me about this matter again. I can't afford to provoke you."

After saying that, the wooden door and the deep path turned into clouds and disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Li Daoxuan's face looked a little ugly. Judging from the current situation, it was not difficult to guess.

There must be something wrong with Tian Cai.

Otherwise, Luoying wouldn't have reacted like this when she heard Tian Cai's name, and she would have also recognized Li Daoxuan's identity.

Could it be that he revealed the materials needed for "The Devouring Domain"?

No.

Both ghost decorators and fallen ghost decorators are the most trustworthy.

Therefore, even if there is a problem with Tian Cai, it is impossible to reveal the news, so it should be from other parties.

There should be something wrong with his promotion from a new believer to a formal disciple.

But Li Daoxuan has not solved his own affairs now, so naturally he can't care about him.

He turned to look at Cui Lang, "Could you please help me, Master Cui, to help me look around Shanshui City to see if anyone still has something like rice with juice? Don't worry, the price is not an issue."

"Don't worry, City Master Li, this matter will be taken care of by me, Cui Lang."

Yan Kuan looked at them and hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you have to say." Cui Lang looked at the door, wondering what he was thinking.

Yan Kuan took a deep breath, as if suppressing his inner emotions, and then said: "If nothing else happens, Ling'er's body should have turned into an evil spirit, otherwise they wouldn't call me back."

"If that's the case, then the juice will be settled." "That's right..."

Cui Lang turned to look at Li Daoxuan, "What Yan Kuan said may be the way to go."

Li Daoxuan also learned about Yan Kuan's situation on the way here. Now when he heard what he said...

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

"If it's in the city, please ask Master Cui to help keep an eye on it."

"Don't worry, City Master Li, I will send someone to inform you as soon as there is news."

"Row."

Li Daoxuan said as he picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, "The matter is a bit urgent, so I won't disturb the Cui family leader."

"It doesn't matter. After City Master Li is finished with this matter, he must come to our Cui family to sit down."

"Good to say."

"Brother Li, go this way."

Yan widened the road, and the two of them said goodbye and left in a hurry.

But when they came to the door, they found that Cui Lang had prepared a carriage for them, with food, food and a change of clothes all available.

"This Cui Lang is really thoughtful."

After Li Daoxuan noted this friendship, the two got on the carriage. After a while, they left the city through the south gate again and the carriage turned to the southwest.

"Tell me, what's going on with you?"

Li Daoxuan put his hands on the carriage and felt the ups and downs of the wheels as they pressed against the ground.

Yan Kuan looked at the incense burner placed in the corner of the carriage. The sandalwood scent emitted from it could prevent the carriage from being targeted by ghosts wandering around.

"Her name is Liu Ling. She also lives in our Yanjiawan, but she lives in another village, the same village as my grandmother. I only met her when I went to my grandmother's house."

As Yan Kuan spoke, his tone became softer and softer, as if he was lost in memories.

"She likes water very much. She said that the water she sees is all light green, so she likes to wear light green clothes."

"She likes to walk alone by the Yiluo River in the evening, watching the setting sun fall on the river, raising golden mist, and finally sinking to the bottom of the river, leaving only a long line."

"It's just that after meeting me later, she was not the only one walking by the river in the evening."

Seeing that he wanted to continue talking.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand to knock on the carriage and said speechlessly: "Tell the important point."

Only then did Yan Kuan react. He was quite embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly: "Later, she was buried in the Barren Grave Mountain by the elders of their village... That place was a mass grave. , I couldn’t resist it at home, so I went to Shenwu City.”

"Now it seems that there is probably something wrong with Huangfen Mountain."

"We'll just go there in a while... City Lord Li, don't worry. Basically, those who are soaked in pig cages here in Yanjiawan will be taken to Huangfen Mountain to be buried, so the juice with rice is basically from That was unearthed.”

"If you go there, you can find it everywhere."

Li Daoxuan nodded and leaned his head on the carriage, feeling the vibration and thinking at the same time.

After planting the seeds of "Devouring Domain" in the body, how can we deal with the evil spirits in Nanshan Village.

About half an hour later, Yan Kuan went out and pointed the way to the coachman.

When he came back, he took out a small knife from the shroud ghost and started shaving the beard on his face.

Li Daoxuan looked at him, a little confused.

Yan Kuan smiled "hehe" and said, "I may see her later. She never likes my beard. I have to clean it up before I go to see her."

There was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Li Daoxuan only discovered it after he shaved his face cleanly.

When Yan Kuan was young, he must have been a handsome boy from all over the country.

Then the two of them had something to eat, and before it was time for tea, the coachman said, "You two... Your Excellencies, have arrived."

The coachman's voice was trembling, probably because he saw something bad.

"Walk."

Li Daoxuan's right hand was habitually placed on the handle of the butcher's knife, and he and Yan Kuan got off the carriage one after another.

The secluded path is winding, the ground is muddy, and the hills ahead are shadowy in the mist.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Li Daoxuan discovered something that made the coachman feel afraid and timid, "You should go back first, and just leave this place to us."

The groom nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Grain Eater."

Immediately, he turned the horse's head and gave the horse a few whips without saying a word. The horse quickly disappeared in the direction from which it came.

Li Daoxuan then looked forward seriously.

Beside this mist-shrouded path, there was a female ghost standing, wearing a long white dress, with long hair spread out covering both sides, and the eyes revealed from the gaps in her hair... were full of hatred.

"I'm afraid there are a lot of ghosts here."

Li Daoxuan's eyes slowly scanned the entire hill.

This mass grave, not to mention in the troubled times when the five turbidities come, is a good place to be haunted even in normal times.

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he did not wait for Yan Kuan's response.

"Ok?"

He turned around and saw that Yan Kuan was looking at the female ghost on the roadside in front of him with trembling lips and a look of nostalgia and pain on his face in disbelief.

"Isn't it, so coincidental?"

Li Daoxuan didn't believe it.

"She...she is Ling'er." Yan Kuan said with a trembling voice.

Li Daoxuan blinked again, and the female ghost on the foggy road ahead disappeared, as if she had merged into the fog.

At the same time, when he looked at Yan Kuan again, he said what he often said.

"I suspect you are contaminated."
