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

The Lord of Divine Witch City, Qiu Wuming.

This was the first time Li Daoxuan had seen him. He had seen his appearance in the portraits left by the four masters of Wu City before.

He has a smiling face, but the expression in the corners of his eyes is very majestic.

Of course, in addition to the blessings brought by his identity, what really brings endless pressure to people's hearts is his strength.

The third-rate grain eater of the oil seller system——[Ya Chai].

[Mortals light fire and set fire to the world. You met a third-rate "yamen" in Huangjia Town. He is already the current pinnacle of the lower-nine-rate world. Your survival points are +10 (blue). 】

The panels have all been certified, so it seems that in the world of the lower-nine-rate, the only ones with the highest sequence are the third-rate?

There is no first-rate or second-rate existence.

Li Daoxuan thought about it and silently increased his energy and blood by a full point.

The qi and blood have returned to the position of 39.2 again, and the rich qi and blood are surging.

Qiu Wuming glanced at Li Daoxuan again, but didn't say anything, and then looked away again.

"I've met City Lord Qiu*18."

The identity, strength and status are all here, and everyone has to bend down and salute him.

"You don't need to be polite, there is a banquet prepared on the mountain top. Come with me." Qiu Wuming still looked like a smiling tiger with his hands folded up in his sleeves.

As soon as he turned around, a spacious staircase suddenly opened from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

It is beyond the reach of human beings, more like the power of gods.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned and shocked when they saw this situation.

Not to mention anything else, this method alone is enough to scare them away.

"This is……"

Although Li Daoxuan was surprised, he felt it clearly and knew how Qiu Wuming performed this miracle.

field!

Just now Qiu Wuming used his own domain to directly modify the appearance of this place and change the terrain.

Naturally, Li Daoxuan has already noticed this wonderful use of the field, and he knows how to do it.

But it cannot be used on such a large scale.

It leads directly to the top of the mountain. The straight-line distance alone is probably 40 to 50 feet long... So the radius of Qiu Wuming's domain can cover at least 40 to 50 feet?

And this is not all his strength.

For a moment, Li Daoxuan felt heavy pressure on his heart.

As expected of the Lord of Shenwu City, he still has a few tricks up his sleeve.

Even Li Daoxuan reacted like this, let alone others. For a moment, even the most arrogant Grain Eater had to bow his head in the face of this miracle.

Qiu Wuming took the lead and immediately walked towards the top of the mountain, followed by the others.

It was quiet, except for the click-click sound of hard-soled boots on the stone steps.

Li Daoxuan and the others neither walked rashly at the front, nor walked at the end too timidly, but walked in the middle.

As they walked further up the mountain, everyone found that the sky became brighter and brighter.

The originally dark sky and yellowish moonlight were fading at this moment.

There is quite a feeling of the clouds breaking through and the moon coming.

When the cold moonlight shone on the stone steps, the Taoist priest who was walking at the end had already reached the top of the mountain.

The huge top of the mountain was flattened directly to form an extremely flat open space, with pavilions, pavilions and square tables on it.

Qiu Wuming walked straight to the main seat one floor above and sat down. He turned around, finally stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, please."

"Please, Lord City Lord."

No one arranged the primary and secondary seats, but the more than ten grain eaters present all laid their eyes on Li Daoxuan.

It seems that if he doesn't sit down, others won't dare to sit down.

"Come on, Daoxuan, sit here."

Qiu Wuming, who was sitting in the main seat, took the initiative to speak out and stretched out his hand to guide the first seat on his left.

Li Daoxuan looked at him, nodded slightly, and without any politeness, went directly to the seat and sat down.

Bai Jun followed closely and took the second seat, followed by Zhou Xu and Fang Jie, who took the four seats in turn. No one had any objections.

Qiu Wuming smiled and nodded, then looked at the first position on the right.

He stroked his beard and smiled: "Originally, this seat...should have been reserved for Shi Ji, but he left first if he had something to do. So how about that, Taoist Tan...are you going to sit here?"

"I?"

Tanxiao, who was guarding the last position by the door, pointed at himself and immediately shook his head and waved his hands, "If you don't have to do it, Lord City Lord, just sit here on the trail."

"Ok?"

Qiu Wuming frowned, and the atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Tan Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled, then gave in immediately and walked towards that position with a haha, "City Master Qiu thinks too highly of Xiaodao."

As he spoke, he kept clasping his fists at the grain eaters on the left and right, "You're welcome."

"Ask, accept, accept."

Li Daoxuan was also looking at this mysterious Taoist priest. He had been to Shanshui City before, but he had never heard of this Taoist priest's identity.

Even Xie Jia Yuan Rang did not mention the identity of this Taoist priest at that time.

When he was dealing with the temple blessing ghost at the foot of the mountain, the joking Taoist priest did not show any strength that was different from ordinary people.

It's just a calculation method, it seems very strong.

But now Qiu Wuming actually let him sit in this other top position, which shows that Qiu Wuming thinks highly of his strength... It seems that he is another old yinbi who hides deeply.

Li Daoxuan withdrew his gaze.

Taoist Tan, who had just sat down, stood up as if the chair was burning his buttocks, and slapped Li Daoxuan with a Taoist slut.

"Xiaodao has met my brother Daoxuan."

Li Daoxuan looked at him with narrowed eyes and replied, "Brother Daoxuan has seen the little Taoist priest."

Tan Daochang smiled and scratched his head, flicked the fly whisk, and sat back.

The pair of sisters with the fifth surname were sitting at the bottom of the conversation, and no one dared to say anything.

After Qiu Wuming determined the first person on the left and right, he stopped talking. The other grain eaters quickly found their seats and sat down.

Li Daoxuan also took a look and found that most of them were sixth-rate grain eaters, and only a few who looked younger were seventh-rate eaters.

After everyone sat down, Qiu Wuming didn't say anything, but two rows of ragged maids filed in from the door. They all held various delicacies in their hands and served them to everyone one by one.

After sixteen melon and fruit main dishes were served like a flowing banquet, Qiu Wuming clasped his hands together.

"eat!"

After saying that, he started using his chopsticks.

Li Daoxuan had been struggling in Huangjia Town for a long time and used his domains one after another. He was also very hungry at this moment.

He immediately picked up his chopsticks and ate happily.

As for whether it was poisonous or not...if Qiu Wuming really wanted to deal with them, there would be no need for such trouble, it could be solved with just one thought.

The Taoist priest opposite also moved his chopsticks and kept eating bite after bite.

The other grain eaters were originally watching their behavior, but seeing them all starting to eat, they naturally did not dare to move their chopsticks.

But for Qiu Wuming, eating was just like eating. He didn't say anything, he just simply ate.

After everyone had finished drinking and eating, and everyone had wiped their mouths, the maid came to clear away the dishes and chopsticks.

After doing this, the others became even more nervous.

Because the real thing...is finally here.

Li Daoxuan also pricked up his ears and cheered up, but his eyes glanced at Bai Jun sitting next to him.

During the meal just now, Qiu Wuming's eyes fell on Bai Jun three times.

Although he seemed to be scanning it casually, Li Daoxuan noticed the confusion and...surprise in his eyes?

Bai Jun shook his head slightly and pulled Li Daoxuan's hand to indicate that it was okay.

In front of Qiu Wuming, Li Daoxuan couldn't ask any questions and could only wait.

In the meantime, Li Daoxuan also noticed the other two people in this scene. No, he had already noticed them when they were climbing the mountain.

A little hostile to myself, but also a little afraid.

Every time Li Daoxuan looked at him, they would subconsciously avoid him.

I don't even have the courage to look directly.

Even if he didn't know each other, Li Daoxuan knew who the other party was.

The people of the Gu family and the Tian family in Fengxue City... are fine. They will settle the accounts one by one after the discussion is over. Li Daoxuan thought about it and stopped talking to them.

After having enough wine and food, the rising sun shone into the pavilion, immediately covering everyone's bodies with a layer of golden gauze.

Qiu Wuming coughed softly, attracting everyone's attention.

"I invite you all to come here this time. You must already know why."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and a picture scroll fell down in the middle of the pavilion, with only an empty line of words on it.

is the date.

【December 30th. 】

"This is the specific date of the second tide."

Qiu Wuming's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"what?"

"So soon? Isn't it already December 18th?"

"And this day is not just New Year's Eve, but also New Year's Eve. These two tides are really good at choosing the day."

As soon as the news came out, everyone present was talking about it.

Originally, I only knew that the second tide was coming soon, but I didn’t know the specific date, so I didn’t feel much about it.

But now that I know the specific day, the feeling is completely different.

An urgent pressure enveloped my heart.

Although Li Daoxuan didn't have much expression on his face, he was making calculations in his heart.

We arrived at Huangjia Town on December 15th, and now it is December 18th. It will take a few more days to rush back to Shouwu City from Huangjia Town.

The day... is very close.

I'm afraid I don't even have time to prepare.     “What about us?”

Zhou Xu leaned forward slightly, bypassed Bai Jun, and looked directly at Li Daoxuan, with inquiry in his eyes.

"May I ask City Lord Qiu, what changes will happen after this second tide? Can you tell us?"

A sixth-rate [watchman] sitting in the middle of Li Daoxuan's row stood up, saluted, and asked.

Li Daoxuan looked him over and had the impression that he was a grain eater from Baozang City.

Qiu Wuming nodded, "Mr. Zhong, please sit down."

"Thank you City Lord Qiu."

"After these two tides... the biggest change is that the existing evil spirits will be strengthened, and more evil spirits will appear."

"At present, you must all feel that the C-level evil spirits can be easily destroyed, while the B-level evil spirits are a little more difficult to kill. Even the two A-level evil spirits in Huangjia Town have not put a big burden on you."

When Qiu Wuming said this, his eyes focused on Li Daoxuan.

"but."

His change of subject was also a reminder to everyone that what he said next was the key point.

"After the second tide, if you encounter a Class B evil spirit... I advise you to run away as soon as possible. If it is a Class A evil spirit, run as far as you can."

"Even if it is a Class C evil spirit, you may die if you are not careful."

"what?"

Some of the grain eaters in the crowd made a sound of surprise, with extremely unbelievable expressions on their faces.

"Then those ordinary grain eaters have no way to survive?"

Qiu Wuming shrugged, "Theoretically, that's the case. After all, the upgrade speed of my sequence cannot keep up with the recovery speed of the secular world. It is indeed a dead end."

"It's your own fault, you can't blame others."

"Okay, we are all sixth-rate grain eaters, let's not talk about these child-like questions." Qiu Wuming clasped his hands and said again: "But it is not completely impossible to survive. After this second tide, although the degree of danger has increased, But there will be more corresponding opportunities.”

"For example, after the second tide, some treasures may grow in the wild. These treasures can increase the vulgarity, body, or spirit of the grain eaters. All of these are possible, and there are even some special ones. Maybe if you swallow the earth treasure, you can directly control the field, which is not impossible."

There was a hint of madness in the eyes of all the grain eaters, and some even wished that the second tide was coming soon.

Li Daoxuan's expression did not change and he sat as firm as a mountain.

He also found that the face of the laughing Taoist priest sitting opposite did not feel relaxed at all, and even became heavier.

"But don't be too happy too early. Wherever earth treasures grow, they are probably protected by evil spirits."

Qiu Wuming poured cold water on those excited grain eaters.

"In short, the strong get stronger, and the weak will only perish." Wu Yanran, who remained silent, said softly.

Qiu Wuming glanced at her and nodded, "That's right."

"Are there any other changes?"

Li Daoxuan also asked.

"And the last one..." Qiu Wuming's deep murmur attracted the attention of the other grain eaters, "This second tide is not only favorable to evil spirits, but also to ordinary people."

"After the second tide, some ordinary people may gain special abilities. For example, some people may have a mouth in their belly that can swallow evil spirits in one mouthful."

"It is possible that some people will have other strange things growing on their bodies. These people are different from grain eaters, but mastering these abilities can also increase their chances of surviving in the secular world."

"They're called...the Lucky Ones."

After Qiu Wuming finished speaking, his body that was leaning forward also sat back.

Everyone below was quiet for a few seconds, and then they all whispered to each other.

Seeing that Qiu Wuming didn't say anything, Fang Jie and Zhou Xu also stood up and came to Li Daoxuan's side.

"Brother Li, when the second tide comes, it will be difficult. Then I, a poor grain eater, will become cannon fodder."

"I'm sure of being promoted to the seventh-rate grain eater, but no, why don't we go back and find Tian Cai again to see if he can give us some more foundations of a seventh-rate grain eater, and see if we can be promoted to a sixth-rate grain eater in one go. "

Fang Jie's eyes were eager.

Zhou Xu looked at Li Daoxuan, nodded directly and said: "I'm sure, during the second tide, I will be promoted to the sixth level."

"Well, as long as you have the foundation, it's fine. If you really don't have the foundation... we can find someone to borrow some."

Li Daoxuan's eyes roamed the scene, focusing on the Natian family and the Gu family for a moment.

In the main seat, when Qiu Wuming heard this, he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, finding it quite interesting.

"In addition, we have to notify Zhu Ye and the others after we go back, and let them keep an eye on them to see how many lucky ones they can find after the second tide. They are... uniquely endowed. If they can conquer some, it will be of some help to us."

Bai Jun took Li Daoxuan's hand and said softly.

"Well, go back and tell Zhu Ye and the others to take care of it."

"And one more thing."

Seeing that the discussion below was almost complete, Qiu Wuming spoke again.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone shut up and listened, and the pavilion became quiet again.

Qiu Wuming seemed to be quite enjoying this moment, with a look of satisfaction on his face as he looked down.

"Doxuan."

"Ok?"

Li Daoxuan, who was thinking about other things, suddenly raised his head, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Talking to the Taoist priest, there is also the fifth sister."

"All of you come with me."

After that, Qiu Wuming didn't care whether they agreed or not, he stood up and left his position, and went to the hall behind the screen.

Li Daoxuan glanced at Tanxiao opposite him subconsciously.

He happened to meet the latter's gaze and nodded.

Li Daoxuan also stood up, "I'll go take a look."

"Be careful." Zhou Xu said softly.

Bai Jun squeezed his hand and gave him a reassuring expression.

"Ah."

They stood up, and the pair of sisters across from them also stood up, and walked around the hall behind the screen from the other side with Tanxiao.

Li Daoxuan looked back, and most of the eyes of the grain eaters present fell on him.

In fact, Li Daoxuan already had a suspicion about Qiu Wuming's sudden summons.

As he had said in a joke before when facing the temple blessing ghost, Qiu Wuming wanted to find someone to... Suppress the Evil Tower.

In front of so many people, Qiu Wuming did not mention this matter, but at this moment he was alone with himself.

It means that he does not need others to go, but needs to go alone with Tanxiao and others.

Perhaps, this was the reason why he called everyone to Huangjia Town, rather than for some discussion before the second tide.

After thinking about it, Li Daoxuan had already bypassed the screen and found the main hall behind the door.

When he entered, the three people who were talking and laughing had already sat down. Qiu Wuming was still sitting in the main seat. Compared with outside, the smile on his face was much more sincere.

"Daoxuan is here, sit down, you can just find a seat wherever you want."

The fifth sisters sat in the two seats on the right, and Li Daoxuan naturally came to sit next to Tanxiao on the other side.

When Qiu Wuming saw everyone arriving, he raised his hand and the door that was originally opened closed instantly.

The room... darkened.

"I came to see you this time because I need your help with something." Qiu Wuming spoke very slowly. When he finished speaking, his eyes happened to fall on Tanxiao.

The latter waved his whisk and said, "If you have anything to do, Lord City Lord, just ask me. Why can I help you?"

He talked and laughed very well and did not make Qiu Wu embarrassed at all.

"That's right, I want you to go to the Evil Suppression Tower and help me get something out."

Qiu Wuming expressed his thoughts directly.

"Go to the Evil Suppression Tower? Go to that place..."

Li Daoxuan didn't know whether it was the fifth Yanran or the fifth Shuran, but it was one of the sisters whose expression changed immediately.

"That would be too dangerous."

The relaxation and playfulness on Tanxiao's face also disappeared, and turned into a bit calm, even the left hand holding the whisk was tightly squeezed.

The smile on Qiu Wuming's face did not diminish, "Don't worry, I won't let you run away in vain."

"By the way, there will be Shi Ji in your team by then. He has already promised that he will go."

After saying that, Qiu Wuming stood up and said, "Master Tan, could you please come in and talk about it."

Qiu Wuming went to the back hall of this hall again, like a matryoshka doll.

Tanxiao stood up in a hurry, rushing to follow.

Suddenly, only Li Daoxuan and the fifth sister were left in the room.

Li Daoxuan looked at them, and they naturally looked at Li Daoxuan.

"City Lord Li, what do you think?" Wu Shuran asked in a low voice.

Li Daoxuan's expression remained normal, "Don't worry, we'll find out later."

After waiting for less than half a stick of incense, he walked out after chatting and laughing. The expression on his face was... very strange, as if there was a hint of sadness in the joy.

Seeing the looks of Li Daoxuan and others, he hurriedly said: "Pindao promised City Master Qiu that he would voluntarily go to this evil-suppressing tower."

It seems that the reward given by Qiu Wuming... is probably not low.

"Fifth girl, the Lord of the City invites you two to come in."

"Yeah." The two of them were mentally prepared, and then walked into the back hall.

"Talking to the Taoist priest?"

There was a hint of inquiry in Li Daoxuan's tone.

Tan Xiao pursed his lips and said, "City Master Li will find out later when he goes in."

Li Daoxuan stopped asking. After waiting for only a moment, the beautiful sisters also came out, with a hint of joy in their eyes.

They looked at Li Daoxuan and whispered: "We will go too."

"City Lord Li, it's your turn."

Li Daoxuan stood up immediately. He wanted to see what benefits Qiu Wuming could offer to convince everyone. (End of chapter)
