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

Chapter 179 The Puzzle of the Human Skin Hand

The purpose of adding qi and blood to your survival points is to become stronger, but once you become stronger, you won't be willing to use your qi and blood points to perform common arts.

Then adding points will become meaningless.

So... Li Daoxuan finally raised his blood to more than 40 points, but it was reduced by more than 3 points again. He glanced at the panel, only 39.5 was left.

But for the sake of enlightenment, everything is worth it.

In this troubled world where ghosts and evil spirits are everywhere, if you have to cover up every thought you have, then what's the point of living?

As for why he wanted to kill the owner of this ghost inn, this can also be used to explain it.

This guy... made Li Daoxuan's thoughts confused.

This incident originally started because of him. If he hadn't tempted Li Daoxuan by saying that he wanted to help him solve some ghost thing and offered such a big price, Li Daoxuan wouldn't be tempted.

But the result?

Instead, he released the dreamer and created a dream for himself, but he almost killed Li Daoxuan in the dream.

Ah!

Li Daoxuan won't tell you that much. Since you don't want to live, I'll give you a ride.

"Brother-in-law..."

The molted ghost subconsciously said it.

Li Dao

"But...what happened, and what does it have to do with me?"

Li Daoxuan laughed and said.

The molted ghost thought for a moment and lowered his head, "It seems so."

Li Daoxuan looked at the headless bride standing motionless.

The latter did not move at all, had no head, and no face. For a moment, Li Daoxuan couldn't grasp what she was thinking.

But if there is no movement, there will be no movement.

Li Daoxuan looked at the smiling head that was nailed to the wall with a knife.

His eyes that had lost focus seemed to have regained some brilliance, but... so what?

If this were a human being, it would be a comeback at best.

He also felt his own death and discovered that it was Li Daoxuan who moved his hand, but he didn't even have a chance to speak.

"Clang-"

The smiling head fell to the ground and turned into material. Li Daoxuan caught his butcher's knife.

On the ground, the material made by the ghost inn owner turned out to be a... mask.

Dark red, face down.

Li Daoxuan couldn't see clearly until he picked it up and discovered that the mask was actually a smiling mask.

I was surprised at first, but after the surprise, I felt that it was natural?

Text pops up on the panel.

[The Control Mask of the Smiling Face Inn: Wearing it, no matter human or ghost, can become the innkeeper and take charge of one of the few ghost inns in this world. But remember, once you choose this path, you can never look back...

Note: The ghost innkeeper will have a certain degree of immunity. 】

Li Daoxuan can understand the first few lines. Being the owner of the Ghost Inn should mean that he can only do this job and cannot change his career to anything else.

But this last "note" made him a little confused.

What is a certain degree of immunity?

He also tried to ask in his mind and express his doubts, but the panel did not give an answer.

With no choice, he looked at the smiley mask in his hand and chose to put it away.

There was nothing else in the house. Li Daoxuan and the two ghosts walked straight out, then went around to the other side, only to find that the door that had disappeared had appeared again, and was even open.

He successfully found the owner of the Ghost Inn, the curse failed, and the door naturally appeared.

"Is there anything in the other guest rooms?"

"There shouldn't be one." The Sloughed Ghost added, "But that's not necessarily the case. I...I haven't opened it and looked at it."

Li Daoxuan recalled the situation when he opened the door. He felt it at that time, as if something was touching his hand.

A cold ghost hand.

Moreover, the skin is extremely delicate, so it is obviously not a molting ghost.

So Li Daoxuan's eyes slowly swept across these closed guest rooms and said: "If nothing else happens, there should be a ghost here."

"There is still one?"

The shed ghost looked surprised, "That's unlikely. I've been here for such a long time. If there really are other ghosts, I should be able to feel it."

Li Daoxuan ignored his words. There are endless ghosts in the world, and all kinds of things... are not surprising.

He came to the door of the room closest to the door and kicked it open without any scruples.

The door "clanged" with a loud bang, and the wooden door even bounced a few times against the wall.

Li Daoxuan did not walk in, but used his dead eye directly at the door.

There was not even a trace of blood red in the room, indicating that no ghosts had entered the room since it was repaired.

Li Daoxuan looked back at the door again. There was a bloody handprint on the door chain.

It means that there was indeed a ghost hand touching it just now.

But it is limited to this, that is to say, only that location has bloody fingerprints and is contaminated, while other places are clean.

Normally, if there is really a ghost, there should be traces on the side. If that doesn't work, there should be traces on the ground as well.

But there was only a bloody handprint left on the door.

This situation made Li Daoxuan think of another ghost in him...the human skin hand.

He raised his hands, which were strangely pale. He had never taken them off since he put them on in Wu City. After so long, he felt that the human leather hands were almost integrated with his own hands. .

Remember, how did this ghost formed by human skin hands appear?

It seems that if you say the word "ghost", the ghost with human hands will appear.

But just now Li Daoxuan and the others had said the word "ghost" countless times, but the third ghost never appeared.

This means that...the ghost's triggering rules are not like that.

Li Daoxuan looked at the door again, wondering how the ghost appeared before.

The molted ghost on the side also knew that his brother-in-law was deep in thought, so he did not disturb him.

In just a moment, Li Daoxuan came to the door, holding one of the doors with one hand, and then said to the headless bride: "The ghost may appear later, you use the domain to capture it."

After saying that, regardless of whether she agreed or not, he went directly to the door, and then used the common technique - wall penetrating hand.

It was because of performing this common technique before that the ghost hand appeared after passing the hand through the door. Now let's do it again.

I don’t believe that the ghost will come out.

As Li Daoxuan's left hand passed through the wooden door, the next moment, the familiar smooth feeling came again.

The ghost hand was caressing his left hand.

The surprised voice of the molted ghost came from behind the door, and then the feeling disappeared.

Li Daoxuan took his hand back, but this time he found that there were mottled blood stains on the back of his hand.

He pushed the door open, and behind him, the headless bride really used her domain to restrain a ghost.

No.

To be precise, it's a ghost hand.

A skinned left hand, just after seeing it, Li Daoxuan felt that the human skin hand on his left hand seemed to be struggling.

It's like meeting an old acquaintance and eager to say hello.

Seeing this situation, Li Daoxuan immediately understood what was going on.

Meet Jigsaw.

I met the puzzle piece of the human skin hand. The human skin on my left hand should have been peeled off from this ghost hand.

The two are essentially one.

That's why I feel this way.

This opportunity was rare, so he directly said to the headless bride: "Take this thing!"

The latter is still very obedient, maybe this is not difficult for her.

The rich purple light enveloped the bloody hand floating in the air. Li Daoxuan felt nothing, but the shed ghost was frightened and hurriedly retreated.

In front of a Class A evil spirit with a domain, there is not much difference between a Class B evil spirit and a Class C evil spirit.

They are all lambs to be slaughtered.

During the purple light, the headless bride was stained with a little blood from her neck, dripping on the bloody hand.

Just in an instant, the bloody hand that was still struggling stopped moving in an instant.

After another breathing time, the purple light retreated, and the bloody hand was still the same as before. The difference was that now this bloody hand had become material.

Li Daoxuan tried to take off the human skin hand on his left hand again, and found that the material actually grew on his own skin.

He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the upper human skin with his right hand, took a deep breath, and then tore it off with all his strength.

"Hi!"

As the blood spurted out, the human skin on his left hand was torn off by him. His left hand suddenly became the same as the material the headless bride was imprisoned into, with the human skin torn off.

Li Daoxuan was also shivering from the huge pain. While clenching his teeth, he could see that the injury on his left hand was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is the benefit of strong Qi and blood.

In just a few breaths, the unbearable pain subsided a lot. He threw the human skin hand over. As soon as the two came into contact, they quickly became one. The human skin hand was directly wrapped around it. In just a moment, the human skin returned to the bloody hand.

From the outside, it looks like these two pieces of the puzzle have been completed.

Seeing this, the headless bride turned around and "looked" at Li Daoxuan with her non-existent eyes, and then wrote with blood: "This is not enough."

"I know."

Li Daoxuan looked at his left hand and said, "Wait a little longer."

Because the hand has not recovered yet.

After another half of the incense burning time, Li Daoxuan's originally bloody left hand finally grew new skin again, but the new skin was equally white, as if the human skin hand was still attached to it.

He stretched out his hand to summon the brand new severed hand, and flicked his right hand on the Xumi around his waist. Immediately, there was a... wooden box full of historical traces in his hand.

The wooden box was small, no more than the size of a palm, and was shiny, old, and damaged.

And this was exactly the filth he bought from Tian Cai at that time.

It’s called [Needle and Thread Used by the Sewer].

It has only one function, it can be used to repair evil spirits of the same origin.

That is to say, the puzzle pieces that were originally separated can be put back together again.

Li Daoxuan opened the sewing box. The needles inside looked ordinary, but the thread... looked like human hair.

And once the sewing box was opened, the hair inside started to move.

It looked extremely weird.

Li Daoxuan twisted the embroidery needle from it. This needlework... seemed to have been done by his grandma in the countryside when he was a child in his previous life.

So if this is sewn up... Li Daoxuan looked at the headless bride beside him.

This evil spirit comes from the ninth-rate world, and look at the figure and dress of this headless bride.

Hmm...even though I can't see my face.

But judging from Li Daoxuan's experience, this week Yaya should be considered a lady in the world of the middle and ninth-level.

"Can you be a female celebrity?" Li Daoxuan asked.

The headless bride pointed at herself. This was the first time Li Daoxuan had seen her make such an action.

Looks a little surprised?

Li Daoxuan nodded, "I am an old man and I don't know how to do this job."

The headless bride did not write, but just reached out and took the sewing box from Li Daoxuan's hand.

Seeing her skillful way of threading the needle, Li Daoxuan knew that this matter...

That's it!

I just don’t know what effect this ghost hand formed by fusing two evil materials will have?

The headless bride threaded the hair into an embroidery needle, then sat down with the ghost hand on her knees, and then her hands circled around the ghost hand like a butterfly piercing flowers.

Li Dao

The shed ghost also squatted aside and watched silently, not daring to say anything.

After half a cup of tea, the headless bride twirled her hair and put the embroidery needle back into her sewing box.

With a push of both hands, the ghost hand and the sewing box used by the corpse stitcher came to Li Daoxuan.

He first put away the sewing box with a flick of his hand. This thing can probably be used twice, so it is a good thing.

Then he looked at Ghost Hand.

After staring for a moment, text popped up on the panel.

[Repaired Ghost Hand: If you fuse it into your hand, you will have the ability to suppress and absorb within a certain range. 】

There are no side effects on the panel, so it seems like a good thing.

Li Daoxuan held the repaired ghost hand in his left hand. There was no response. He tried to interlace his fingers with the ghost hand and hold it tightly together.

In an instant, he turned his left hand over as if he had a tacit understanding.

The ghost hand...disappeared.

What changed next was Li Daoxuan's left hand. The originally white left hand now turned as bright red as blood, and it could be vaguely seen that there seemed to be a scarlet ghost hand hidden under his hand.

Li Daoxuan also understood how to use it. He looked around, and his eyes finally fell on the shed ghost.

The latter also noticed the abnormality and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Brother-in-law, what do you want to do to me..." Before she could finish her words, she suddenly became motionless.

Only his eyes were still moving. He seemed to be trying his best to look above his head, but he couldn't do anything.

Then a severed hand crawled from the back of his head to the top of his head.

With his five fingers slightly bent, he directly pinched the molted ghost's forehead, threatening to crush his head if he disagreed.

"Isn't this the ability of the human skin hand at the beginning... With the addition of suppression, it is estimated that once entangled by the ghost hand, all Class B evil spirits will be suppressed until they cannot move. Unfortunately, only one can be suppressed at a time. If it can No limit to the number.”

Li Daoxuan murmured in his heart, and he didn't know if this ghost hand could still control the Class B evil spirits after the second tide.

While thinking about it, he used his left hand to remove the effect of the ghost hand.

The ghost hand on top of the molted ghost also disappeared, and he fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

At that moment, he really thought Li Daoxuan was going to kill him.

"Hey, uncle, I'm sorry, I just got a new thing, I can't wait to try it, I'm sorry."

Li Daoxuan helped him up.

The molted ghost quickly replied: "It's okay, it's okay, we are all a family, as long as you can help my brother-in-law."

As long as the molted ghost is awake, it will never say the wrong thing.

Li Daoxuan patted him on the shoulder and looked at the remaining rooms... Even after all this, he didn't let go. He immediately opened the remaining doors one by one, but found nothing.

Only then did one person and two ghosts emerge from the coffin-like fourth floor.

The numerous ghosts that had been noisy and trying to come out of these guest rooms sounded with the footsteps of Li Daoxuan.

The entire Smiley Face Inn became quiet again.

Li Daoxuan also had a stiff smile on his face.

"Brother, do you know where all his things are?"

Li Daoxuan didn't believe that he killed the owner of the ghost inn but didn't even find a guest room key.

"I know, I know, they should all be in his room."

"His room is on the second floor. I'll take you there."

The molted ghost said and immediately ran towards the stairs, extremely attentive.

Li Daoxuan took one step forward, only to find that the headless bride behind him had returned to the seed in his body.

It's like you can come in and out at will but there's nothing you can do about it... which is actually the case.

When Li Daoxuan came to the stairs, he found that the molted ghost that should have run downstairs suddenly returned to him, just like when he wanted to use a paper man to come up from downstairs.

"Ok?"

The molted ghost was also a little surprised. He had never left the guest room on the fourth floor, so naturally he didn't know about this worldly forbidden matter.

Li Daoxuan guessed at a glance that this staircase should only be ascended but not descended.

The domain was opened, but it could not spread, and it was blocked by this worldly restriction.

This is a bit troublesome... Do we still need to be trapped here?

He looked at the other end of the corridor, which led to darkness.

"Where can we go from here?"

"No... I don't know." The molted ghost's eyes looked quite guilty, as if he was a little distressed for not being able to help his brother-in-law.

Li Daoxuan took out the paper man inside Xumi and threw it out.

The latter landed and immediately ran forward. Li Daoxuan just watched it enter the darkness. His vision was blurred for a while, but he recovered in an instant.

When he saw it again, he found that the paper man was actually lying in a coffin!

A real coffin, and the right hand side of the coffin is still empty.

This is... the living coffin in the kitchen on the first floor of the inn? !

He immediately controlled the paper man to jump down from the coffin. Looking back, he found that it was indeed the case.

"Let's go, we can go down here."

With the paper man exploring the way, Li Daoxuan felt much more relieved.

Not long after.

When he and the molted ghost came out of the living coffin and looked at the coffin that was still being roasted on the fire... Li Daoxuan had an idea in his mind, should he move this thing too?

But after thinking about it again, I gave up the idea. It would be the same if I kept it here. Now that I don't have the innkeeper, I can come over at any time. So there is not much difference between leaving it here and leaving it at my own home.

Coming out of the kitchen, Li Daoxuan's first reaction was to look up.

The fourth floor still exists.

The shed ghost led the way, and Li Daoxuan followed to the door of the room on the second floor near the stairs.

"Brother-in-law, this is Zhang..., that damn ghost's room."

After the molted ghost said this, he shrank his head again. Li Daoxuan knew it without further explanation.

This guy doesn't have a key and can't open the door.
