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

How about I feed you some food?

This thought flashed through Li Daoxuan's mind, but he did not dare to say it out.

After finally stabilizing the situation a little, he was afraid that if he said these words again, it would collapse again.

"I am naturally fond of all kinds of small animals." Li Daoxuan said with a smile.

When Fang Jie heard this, he glanced at the black dog squatting on the roadside, chewing bones, and thought that this thing had nothing to do with small animals.

Miao Zhugui still didn't look back, and just said: "Originally, this is the first time we met, I was going to attack you, but because you fed Xiao Hei... I will let you go this time, but next time we meet, I won’t hold back.”

Temple blessing ghosts are very spiritual and almost no different from normal people.

So Li Daoxuan said "Huh?" after hearing this.

Expressed inner doubts.

"So far, the thirteen groups we have met are all still in Huangjia Town... I hope you can give me... relief."

Temple Zhu Gui said that his figure is getting weaker and weaker.

Along with him, the black dog on the roadside, and the grave.

All kinds of supernatural phenomena began to disappear.

But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared in front of them like dust blown by the wind, as if it had never appeared... No, the disappearing wall at the end of the alley announced that he had been here before.

"Everyone is still here in Huangjia Town, but this temple's blessing ghost wants us to give him relief... What kind of relief is it?"

"Maybe he's trapped here."

Zhou Xu expressed his guess.

Li Daoxuan nodded, "Who can trap two Class A evil spirits?"

As he glanced over, the answer was already obvious.

"Kill them and we can break through this Huangjia Town."

And as long as he kills them...Li Daoxuan can master the domain, the real domain!

"What should we do now? Go back and kill that butcher ghost?"

As soon as Zhou Xu finished asking, Li Daoxuan looked back in the direction he came from and said at the same time: "Someone is coming."

"Who?!"

Footsteps sounded on the street outside, and then a man and a woman appeared in Li Daoxuan's sight.

Looking at it, men should be sixth-rate grain eaters, and women should be seventh-rate grain eaters.

As soon as they met, the other party took out the common utensil and looked at Li Daoxuan and the others warily. There was a dark purple light flashing in the woman's eyes.

After the previous encounter, Li Daoxuan was much more cautious and directly used the dead eye.

Under the inspection of dead eyes, only their feet were slightly red, as if they were contaminated by some pollution, and the rest was clean.

"I wonder which city you are the master of?"

The man holding a bald pen and a wolf hair asked tentatively.

"Brother, I'm joking. I'm from Shouwu City." Li Daoxuan replied.

"Oh? But City Lord Li of Shouwu City is in person?" The man's eyes immediately showed a hint of joy, and he said again: "I am He Yilang from Huangquan Ghost Market, and this is Huang Cuicui, a lowly wife."

Underworld Ghost Market... Li Daoxuan recalled the information given by Yuan Rang in his mind.

This Huangquan Ghost Market is one of the four major ghost markets in Shenwu City, and its owner is He Yilang, a very powerful sixth-rate [Time Demon].

As for how strong he is... The theory given by Yuan Rang is that He Yilang also has three sixth-rate grain eaters under his command, and they all obey his words.

I didn't expect to meet him so soon, and judging from his attitude... I'm afraid he's not a smiling person.

Li Daoxuan raised his sword and cupped his hands with a smile, "I have met Master He and Mrs. He."

The other people also expressed their respects, put away their common utensils, and got a little closer to each other.

But they still maintained a safe distance from each other.

"Brother He came here first. I wonder if he knows anything about Huangjia Town?" Li Daoxuan wondered if he could get some useful information.

He Yilang sighed, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared, "I knew Cheng Li wanted to ask this... This Huangjia Town is a bit difficult to handle."

"What? Even Master Hefang finds it difficult for you?"

Fang Jie looked surprised.

He Yilang smiled at him, "According to my speculation, this place should be a test for us by Shenwu City... to test our strength. As for why we do this, I don't know."

Li Daoxuan and Zhou Xu looked at each other, and then asked: "Then what Brother He said is difficult...is this evil spirit difficult to deal with?"

"Yeah." He Yilang nodded and said, "No one who has come into Huangjia Town has ever left."

"The butcher ghost is extremely powerful, and no one can be his opponent in a head-to-head confrontation. Temple blessing ghosts and gods come and go, and his methods are extremely cunning, making it difficult for people to guard against him... He has killed several sixth-rate grain eaters."

"That's really difficult."

Li Daoxuan had dealt with these two Class-A evil spirits, and he could feel that what He Yilang said was indeed the truth.

While the two were talking, Mrs. He had already taken out a chair from Xumi and sat down.

Perhaps she noticed the surprise in Li Daoxuan's eyes. The beautiful woman in a blue dress explained: "You can't avoid it... Even if you can avoid the butcher ghost, you can't avoid the temple blessing ghost."

"So instead of running around like headless flies, it's better to wait for them to come to you."

Li Daoxuan followed their wishes and continued.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

They also understood what each other didn't say.

Instead of solving the evil spirits yourself, it is better to stay here and wait for others to solve them, and then you can just muddle through.

Good idea and very true.

After all, they were here to discuss matters, not to accept temptations from others.

The same is true for Li Daoxuan... The premise is that he does not have [Defying Domain], but unfortunately, he does, and it happens that these two Class A evil spirits both have domains.

For him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After thinking for a moment, he looked back at Zhou Xu, Fangjie and the three of them, with hesitation in his eyes.

"We're following you."

Fang Jie immediately expressed his stance.

Li Daoxuan shook his head slowly, "I mean, it's not as convenient for me to take you with me by myself."

He Yilang, who had just sat down next to him, felt moved when he heard this.

‘What does Li Daoxuan mean that he is going to deal with those two Class A evil spirits? ’

He Yilang and his wife looked at each other without saying a word, but several years of married life had already given them a tacit understanding, and they could tell what the other was thinking with just one glance.

"Let's do this. Just wait here. I'll call you when I need your help."

Li Daoxuan made a judgment after thinking for a while. He wanted to check the situation before talking... He wanted to see if he could make mistakes.

If someone deals with these two evil spirits, he will see if he can make the final cut and capture the evil spirits' territory.

If it doesn't work, let's talk about it again.

Therefore, for this kind of fishing in troubled waters, of course, the fewer people, the better. If it doesn't work, then consider taking Bai Jun and the others to kill them by force.

"Okay, let's listen to the master."

It was rare for Bai Jun to take the initiative and say not to follow, which made Li Daoxuan look at her in surprise.

"Okay." Zhou Xu nodded without insisting.

After Li Daoxuan finished his instructions, he smiled at He Yilang again.

"Staying here is just waiting. I'll go take a look first. Brother He can just sit here."

He Yilang stood up and replied: "Chengdu Li is young, I won't go out and torment my old bones."

"careful!"

After saying that, he even clasped his fists.

They were all mere words. Li Daoxuan looked back at Bai Jun, who nodded, indicating that he could rest assured that she was there.

Li Daoxuan then left.

On the secluded street, you could only hear his footsteps getting farther and farther until there was no sound anymore.

He Yilang had taken out a heater at some point. While warming his hands, he was also silently sizing up the two people and one ghost in front of him.

With his strength, it is not difficult to see that Li Daoxuan is only a seventh-rate grain eater, and the two people in front of him are only eighth-rate grain eaters.

But despite this, he still maintained enough respect for Li Daoxuan.

Even more respect than facing a sixth-rate Li Daoxuan.

Sensing He Yilang's gaze, Bai Jun, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and looked over.

He Yilang immediately showed a friendly smile.

Before he could speak, Mrs. He held his ear and said, "Why, you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman, right? Not even a beautiful female ghost!"

"Hey, it hurts. Madam, please be gentle."

He Yilang immediately withdrew his gaze.

Bai Jun frowned, not sure what these two people meant, and immediately looked away.

But at this moment, she felt someone touch her thigh and looked down.

Zhou Xu's right hand was spread out, and two words were written on the white palm of his hand.

"Don't believe it."

……

"Tick-tock-"

"Tick-tock-"

On the secluded street, there was a constant sound of water droplets falling from a man's hanging arm.

He has a middle-aged face and an ordinary build, but his right hand under his gray robe is empty. The wind blows all over his sleeve, and water drops drip from his right sleeve.

Next to him was a slightly younger man, who didn't look much alike.

"This is it."

The young man pointed to the chopping board at the street corner and sniffed again. He smelled a hint of something else.

The middle-aged man Song Jixing just glanced at him and said, "He's dead."

"Ok?"

Song Yi was surprised, "Dead...dead? Did the butcher ghost kill him? I came back to take a look after I left. At that time, the butcher ghost came here, and I didn't dare to get close."

"Probably not."

Song Jixing squatted down and looked at the shiny black filth at his feet.

"The butcher ghost kills people... so they don't burn the corpses and wipe out the traces."

As he spoke, he twisted it a little more, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, "It does smell like Wu Zu."

After speaking, he casually wiped the dirt on his hands on his body and stood up, "You said he provoked a few grain eaters? Please tell me the information about those grain eaters."

Song Yi nodded, "I only heard what Wu Zu said. I didn't see those people. There were three people in the group and one ghost. Among the three people, there were two men and one woman. They were not very strong. The strongest one That man is still a seventh-rate grain eater."

After Song Yi finished speaking one by one, he looked at his second uncle again.

"Are we going to avenge Wu Zu?"

Song Jixing burst into laughter, as if he had heard some big joke, "The person's surname is Wu, what does my surname Song have to do with him?"

Song Yi quickly smiled in cooperation.

Although the deceased person's surname was not Song, he was your nephew! !

But Song Yi was no longer surprised. Everyone in Baozang City knew how indifferent his second uncle was.

While the two were talking, a huge noise suddenly came from the hillside on the left side of Huangjia Town, and both of them glanced at it. “It should be the butcher ghost, let’s go!”

After saying that, he immediately left.

Not long after they left, a figure slowly appeared in the darkness at the corner of the intersection.

He also came to the dead Wu Zu, but he did not look at the pile of burned corpses.

It was originally burned by him, so there was nothing worth paying attention to.

What he was looking at was the pool of liquid dripping from Song Jixing's arm just now.

If he was still a little uncertain from a distance before, now he is almost certain.

The liquid dripping from Song Jixing's body was none other than... corpse water!

"So, he is already dead?"

"Or is it just his arm that died?"

Li Daoxuan murmured in his heart and glanced in the direction where the noise had just come from. After thinking about it for a moment, he also followed.

But as soon as he crossed two streets and reached the stone steps going up the mountain, he slowed down.

For no reason, after arriving here, he became extremely depressed.

A feeling of world-weariness arises spontaneously.

I just feel that living this life is a bit too painful and tiring. It would be great if I died, without any consciousness and no need to bear any suffering.

Li Daoxuan involuntarily slowed down his steps, appeared on the street, and began to sigh.

"Pollution...this is the pollution of temple blessing ghosts."

No matter how depressed Li Daoxuan felt, his most basic consciousness was still there.

The realm of the Miao Zhu ghost is different from the realm of the Butcher ghost. The realm of the Butcher ghost makes people so superior that they don't care about anything and only want to fight.

But the temple blessing ghosts are different. Although it makes people depressed, they still stay awake.

So the temple blessing ghost is nearby?

What is he doing here? Is there anyone else here?

In a daze, Li Daoxuan heard the sound of bells in his ears.

"Boom-"

The dull bell rang, making him feel even more tired.

In a room at the corner ahead, he saw fire coming from inside. He looked through the gap in the door and window and saw what was going on inside.

The black dog cries in the grave... No!

That's a black dog eating people!

There was a corpse lying on the ground, and the mangy black dog that Li Daoxuan had seen was squatting next to the corpse, devouring... the internal organs.

Li Daoxuan frowned subconsciously. Under the darkness, he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

I don’t know who died.

But he was even more thinking...where did the temple blessing ghost go?

The black dog is here, but the temple blessing ghost is not. This shouldn't be the case.

"咚咚-"

Two bells rang in succession, and Li Daoxuan groaned, feeling as if his chest had been hit hard twice.

His throat felt so sweet that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

The attack was so strange that Li Daoxuan didn't even have a chance to react. He quickly took a few steps back and left his original position.

But despite this, the feeling of being watched still lingers with him.

In front of him, under the eaves where the black dog was, a hunched figure slowly appeared. He coughed, and a hoarse voice sounded from his throat.

"I told you, I have to send him to my door... looking for death."

Li Daoxuan didn't say anything more. He turned over on the spot, broke the window on the side, fell in, and made no sound again.

The figure coughed again and waved to the black dog inside the room.

"Xiao Hei, come out."

"How many times have I told you, just one bite is enough. Eat so much... only dogs can eat so much."

The mangy black dog shrugged his ears and gave the old man a very human look.

It seems to be complaining that it is a dog.

One ghost and one dog stepped out and arrived at the door of the house where Li Daoxuan was.

This was the first time that Li Daoxuan saw the face of the temple blessing ghost clearly. The dead man's face was ashen, covered with corpse spots, and his cloudy eyes were bulging as if they would fall off at any time.

Of course, what caught Li Daoxuan's attention the most was the temple blessing ghost's head... it was very bald, with only a ring of gray hair around it.

It looks a little funny...if you didn't know it was a Class A evil spirit.

So when the temple blessing ghost appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes, he had already handed out the butcher's knife in his hand.

At the same time, a misty smoke was already floating on the windowsill.

Temple Zhugui smelled the smell and glanced subconsciously.

I saw the two incense sticks inserted on the windowsill at some point.

"The reaction is very quick. He is indeed a famous [thief] in the secular world."

Li Daoxuan saw that the butcher's knife had pierced the forehead of the temple blessing ghost in front of him, but despite this, he was still dodged by the temple blessing ghost.

"Xiao Hei, come on!"

The voice of the temple blessing ghost came from somewhere, but the black dog did not move.

The black dog was already standing outside the door, shaking his head and falling asleep.

"waste."

The temple blessing ghost cursed.

Li Daoxuan had already broken into the kitchen of this house, broke through the back door and ran out, reaching the door.

A head-on confrontation is impossible.

He had no idea of ​​dealing with this Grade-A evil spirit alone, not before, nor since.

And as soon as his figure hit the ground, he had already disappeared, and even the temple blessing ghost didn't follow him.

The sky above the stone steps going up the mountain was empty. Temple Zhugui stood on the bottom stone step, looking up with difficulty.

At his feet, the mangy black dog shook his head, swung his body and followed him.

Miao Zhugui kicked it in disgust.

"What a useless dog."

After saying that, the dim moonlight shone, the wind blew the weeds on the roadside low, and the willow trees next to the house swayed like skinny ghosts, and the ghosts and dogs disappeared on the stone steps.

But at the same time, there was also a handful of soil under the willow tree beside the road.

It is the grave of the dead.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, behind the tomb and under the willow tree, a figure slowly appeared.

Li Daoxuan looked at the powder of eyeless corpses at his feet and breathed a sigh of relief.

From this point of view, this thing can still deal with the temple blessing ghost, at least it can hide it.

After looking left and right, Li Daoxuan came to the miniature tomb and squatted down.

There is nothing strange about the tomb from the outside, and the dead person can only see that the soil in the tomb is contaminated.

He hesitated for a moment and then made his choice.

dig!

Black dogs cry at graves. Black dogs cry at graves. I want to see what you are crying about!

But before digging, he took several steps back and returned to the willow tree. The butcher knife in his hand stretched out and penetrated into the mound of soil.

Pulling it from left to right, he dug out a small hole in the mound.

He continued to exert force, and in just a few breaths, he dug up the miniature tomb, revealing a small coffin underneath.

Palm-sized and bright red in color.

"There is really something..."

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment, and words appeared on the panel.

[The words of Black Dog Crying Grave are desolate. You met a powerful evil spirit. You were so reckless that you overturned the grave of Black Dog Crying Grave. You met... a blood coffin. 】

[The blood coffin is also a very dangerous thing. 】

Li Daoxuan looked at the words on the panel, frowned, and then looked at the blood coffin that he dug out, which was no more than the size of a palm.

Something sinister and supernatural?

Something dangerous?

Damn it, I'm going to chop down a very dangerous thing!

Li Daoxuan raised the butcher's knife and struck it heavily on the blood coffin.

There was a soft sound, and the extremely sharp butcher knife split the blood coffin into two halves. There was... something inside.

The long butcher's knife was retracted instantly, and the contents of the blood coffin were brought back with the blade.

It's like a small golden stone, only about the size of a finger.

Not gold.

Li Daoxuan looked at the panel. Whatever he didn't know, the panel should be able to give an answer. Even if there was no exact result, there would still be a hint.

This time is no exception.

[The reckless pig butcher split open the blood coffin, and you got a finger bone from it. It exudes a strange aura, which seems to mean that the owner of the finger bone is unknown when he was alive. If you can collect more skeletal remains, maybe you can find something. Other discoveries. 】

[Current collection progress: 1/207]

"This is...a finger bone?"

Li Daoxuan looked at the small golden thing dragged back by the blade. Without the prompts on the panel, he really wouldn't have been able to tell that it was a phalange.

The main reason is that the finger bones are still golden... which makes people less likely to think about it.

He looked at the text on the panel again, "Weird aura, the owner of the finger bone is unknown... more remains need to be collected."

It seems like you are not sure about the panel?

This immediately aroused Li Daoxuan's curiosity, and he looked at the remaining line of text.

Normal people should have 206 bones, but judging from the panel, the owner of this phalange should have 207 bones.

This is not surprising, after all, it is a supernatural world, let alone a person with 207 bones.

Even people without bones are nothing to be surprised about.

Li Daoxuan thought about it, took out a shroud ghost from Sumeru and wrapped the finger bone.

This thing has supernatural powers, so naturally it is better to wrap it in a ghost shroud to isolate it from everything and avoid other accidents.

After putting it away, he looked at the mound that he dug up. This finger bone was dug out from under the mound of the black dog's crying grave.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a blood coffin containing the remains under each such mound tomb.

After thinking about it, Li Daoxuan took a step forward and disappeared under the dim moonlight.

He decided not to go looking for those two Grade-A evil spirits. Anyway, no matter whether he went or not, they would definitely not die so quickly.

He was going to find more grave mounds and try digging them.

Not far from the foot of the mountain, Li Daoxuan once again saw a pile of tomb-like loess beside a dry well.

It is announced that the temple blessing ghost has also appeared here.

Li Daoxuan came to the edge of the mound, and his butcher knife stretched out and turned into a shovel.

Say nothing.

Excavate!
