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

Chapter 181 The second tide finally arrived!

Not long after, Zhu Ye and Hu Yue also came to report to Li Daoxuan all the changes that had taken place in Shouwu City during this period.

and the problems that will be faced.

Among them, Zhu Ye also wrote a lot of eloquent words in black and white, just like a prelude.

Li Dao

And no matter how well it is handled, the cards will be shuffled when the second tide comes.

So he just said a word and asked Zhu Ye and Hu Yue to go back.

"In the remaining two days, you can do whatever you want and play whatever you want."

After Zhu Ye and Hu Yue left, Fang Jie couldn't help but ask, "What about Brother Li, where are we?"

"Same for you... If you have something to do, please leave first. Zhou Xu will stay."

Li Daoxuan had to ask to find out about the human face mask that ran the ghost inn.

"Then I won't leave either."

"I still don't know what exactly happened to you, Brother Li, in the Ghost Inn?"

"Not urgent."

The three of them waited here for about half an hour before Bai Jun led the headless bride back. At first glance, it seemed that there was not much difference from before, but Li Daoxuan discovered that Zhou Yaya was wearing a red skirt... or rather a white skirt. Up there, there isn't that much blood.

After Bai Jun entered the door, she nodded to Li Daoxuan first, indicating that she knew something about the situation, but she didn't say anything here. Obviously, she had to tell it in private.

"There's no problem with Miss Zhou. She's staying in the master's domain. She just wants to use the dream ghost's ability."

"And I also promised that she will listen to you, Master, when necessary."

Bai Jun is still very reliable in doing things.

Li Daoxuan nodded, "Isn't there a way to eliminate them? It's good to stay with us."

"This……"

Bai Jun also asked this question, "Her current state is almost symbiotic with the dream ghost. If you want to remove her from the master's domain, unless you, the master, find a way to remove the newly acquired domain ability." .”

"I don't think it's necessary. It's good for her to stay in the master's domain. When dealing with grain eaters or evil spirits, she can kill them off guard."

"That's true."

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly. He just felt that there was a female ghost living in him, and he felt uncomfortable no matter what he thought.

Especially when doing something private.

Well... what Li Daoxuan wanted to do was take a bath and go to the latrine.

After saying this, Bai Jun came and sat down next to Li Daoxuan. As for the headless bride, she stood behind Bai Jun.

Even though she didn't say anything, her bloody appearance always made people intimidated.

"That's right, the current Ghost Inn... was taken over by me."

Li Daoxuan's tone was calm, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

"What? Then Brother Li, are you the shopkeeper of the Ghost Inn now?" Fang Jie's eyes were shocked.

"Really? This..."

Zhou Xu didn't believe it.

Bai Jun was surprised with a hint of worry, "Master, the position of the owner of this ghost inn is not so easy to sit in. You..."

It seems that only Bai Jun knows something.

Li Daoxuan took out the smiling mask from the Sumeru and placed it on the table. "I just got this qualification, so I won't use it."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Bai Jun was obviously relieved.

"Why is this?" Zhou Xu looked at her and frowned, "This ghost innkeeper is not a good job?"

"No."

Bai Jun pursed her red lips, then looked at Li Daoxuan worriedly, and said: "Once you become the shopkeeper of this ghost inn, you will be bound. Not only will you be unable to do anything else for the rest of your life, but you will also be trapped in the ghost inn. "

No wonder the prompt on the panel is that once you choose this path, you can never look back... Li Daoxuan nodded, "Don't worry, you won't be overwhelmed."

"but……"

Bai Jun changed the subject, everyone looked at her, and then she continued to explain: "But this thing is not completely useless, not to mention that after becoming the owner of the Smiley Face Inn, being able to take charge of one of the few ghost inns, other Another important role is..."

"When it comes to a life and death situation, if you have this thing... once you are killed, you can choose to become the owner of the ghost inn and escape. Although you will be trapped in the ghost inn, it is better than death."

"That's not bad..." Fang Jie said, nodding to himself, "Brother Li, you can keep it, this is the real trump card among trump cards, a good thing to save your life."

"Ah."

Li Daoxuan looked at the smiling mask placed on the table and felt that its smile was getting weirder.

"Okay, I'll just keep it then."

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can have fun these two days as you want. We'll meet again on the evening of the 29th."

The second tide on December 30th is the day after tomorrow.

So it would be appropriate to meet tomorrow night.

After finishing speaking, Li Daoxuan got up and walked to the backyard. After working outside for so long, he finally came back, so naturally he had to change his clothes.

But not long after he soaked in the tub, Bai Jun came in.

Before Li Daoxuan could take action, she spoke very quickly: "I have recorded everything about Zhou Mengjiao here. She won't let me tell you, Master, so when she returns to Master's domain, I will definitely not It’s convenient, Master, please take a look now.”

After saying that, she threw a sheepskin with scrawls and writings in front of Li Daoxuan.

"I told her I would go out for a walk later, but she was still waiting for me. Master, I will go first."

After Bai Jun finished speaking, he withdrew again.

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand to fetch the sheepskin. He originally thought about how many words could be written on such a small sheepskin.

But when he got the sheepskin in hand, he found a stream of information hitting his mind directly.

He was stunned for a while before he realized, "This method... is quite novel."

But soon he remembered where he had come into contact with this method. Traditional folk arts also used this technique.

Zhou Yaya's real name is Zhou Mengjiao, she is the legitimate daughter of Zhou Xianling, a marriage official in Chu State in the ninth-rate world.

He has been well-behaved, cute, and smart since he was a child. He is quite famous in Yuhu City, the capital of Chu State.

When Bai Jun left, she was only eleven or twelve years old, so she didn't know anything about what happened to her when she grew up, so what happened next was narrated by Zhou Mengjiao herself.

Zhou Mengjiao got engaged at the age of sixteen, and the other party was the legitimate son of the governor of Chu State.

This is a well-matched marriage, and I heard that the son of the official family is also quite talented and extremely decent.

But I never thought that it would be when Zhou Mengjiao turned eighteen.

She met another man, a scholar from a poor family.

It was a coincidence that the two met each other. They accidentally met in a temple when Zhou Mengjiao sneaked out of the house to play.

What happened next was extremely cliche.

It was nothing more than a drama between a scholar from a poor family and a rich lady. In the end, the matter became so big that Zhou Mengjiao even broke off relations with her family because of this person.

The two eloped.

And if she and the poor scholar could really live happily together, that would be fine, but the problem was...she was deceived by the poor scholar.

The person who really looked at Zhou Mengjiao was not the scholar, but the evil grain eater behind the scholar.

This scholar was just a servant of his, who voluntarily abducted Zhou Mengjiao for this grain eater.

But afterwards, the scholar did not get the gift from the Grain Eater as he wished, but was directly... killed by the Grain Eater.

Later, when Zhou Mengjiao learned about this, she knew she could not escape. Just when she was about to commit suicide... the enemies of this grain eater came to seek revenge.

Unexpectedly, the grain eater was killed, and Zhou Mengjiao was saved by the grain eater who came to save people.

So another drama of a hero saving a beauty was staged.

Zhou Mengjiao knew that she had no face to go home, so she followed the grain eater around the world.

And that grain eater was also very nice to her, and even led her to become a grain eater. If that was the case, that would be okay.

But the problem is...this grain eater also has a problem.

Zhou Mengjiao secretly discovered that behind this seemingly glamorous grain eater was a famous flower-picking thief.

The reason why he saved her and took her with him was also for his own... cultivation desire.

After learning the truth, Zhou Mengjiao poisoned him to death.

Afterwards, she did not practice any more, but used a blunt knife to chop off her head.

Because she felt that the reason why she was going through all this was because of her own head.

First of all, she was born too beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't have attracted so many people.

Secondly, they are too stupid to distinguish right from wrong.

So...after her death, while drifting to the lower world, she accidentally bumped into a dreamer.

Since then, she has been living in the dreamland of the dreamer.

As for the wedding dress she was wearing, it was also because she wanted to be a bride before she died.

After Li Daoxuan read these extra memories in his head, he could only say... The world is so big that no one has it.

And this experience was indeed a bit bumpy. Basically, everything that Li Daoxuan could or could not imagine has been experienced by her.

But after knowing this, I finally understand a little bit, and with Bai Jun as a middleman, she will still be of some use if she follows him in the future.

Hmm... The main reason is that Li Daoxuan can't deal with her. If he really wants to eliminate the "nightmare" ability, it would be a bit of a waste.

Not to mention the upcoming second tide or the upcoming trip to the Evil Suppression Tower. Maybe taking her with me can be of some use.

That night.

Li Daoxuan, who was lying on the bed, finally had time to check the panel. The personal panel did not change much, except that his health returned to more than 39 points, and his combat effectiveness also dropped by a few points.

In addition, it was the series of words that appeared on the panel when Li Daoxuan was in his dream.

After waking up from the dream, I have been busy dealing with various things and have no time to look at it.

Until now...

What Li Daoxuan was most curious about was his master in the dream, who was the pig butcher Wu Fahui. He had just woken up from the second level of the dream.

When he came to this first level of dreamland, Li Daoxuan wondered if he might be the shopkeeper of the Smiling Face Inn.

But when he later discovered that he was still in a dream, he knew that it couldn't be the innkeeper.

Then the most likely thing left is the panel.

Li Daoxuan flipped through the text on the panel and went straight to the top, only to find that he had been tricked when he first entered the Ghost Inn, and the panel had also done some weird damage to him at that time.

It's a pity that I couldn't see it at that time.

[The ignorant pig butcher is still unaware that he is already in the second-level dreamland. It seems that if he does not realize his identity, he may really sleep here... How can the future ruler of the earthly world die in the middle of the road? , if the world doesn’t save you, someone will save you. 】

So who does the panel say "someone will eventually save you" refer to?

Isn't it a panel?

Li Daoxuan thought it was impossible. He didn't know anyone else who could save him at this time, except the panel.

Moreover, the panel originally spoke strangely.

The ones below were all nonsense, and Li Daoxuan didn't read them carefully. When he woke up from the dream on the second floor and came to the dream on the first floor, the panel said another more useful sentence.

[The ignorant pig butcher will probably never understand the power of the consciousness ghost. If this dream ghost appears in the Shenwu City, it will become an inexplicable existence, because it can create dreams and walk in other people's dreams at will. middle. 】

Dream ghosts can walk in dreams... Li Daoxuan thought thoughtfully.

What he was thinking was that since the dream-creating ghost was so powerful, what about the other conscious ghosts?

The reason why this dreamer was able to be solved so quickly this time was because the innkeeper was prepared in advance and moved the Smiling Face Inn to a remote mountainous forest where there was no one around, thus cutting off its greatest ability.

But these are all things behind the scenes.

After reading the text on the panel, Li Daoxuan had a good sleep again.

Without Bai Jun's late-night interruption, he slept until noon the next day. If it weren't for the children setting off firecrackers behind his alley, Li Daoxuan probably could have slept a little longer.

But he woke up. When he finished washing and came to the front yard, he found that only Fang Jie was waiting for him.

"Where are they?"

After the headless bride returned to Li Daoxuan's seed, she didn't go out again, so naturally the people he asked about were Bai Jun and Zhou Xu.

"I heard that there is a circus coming to the east of the city, and there are actually grain eaters performing in it. It's quite strange. Sister Zhou and she both went to see it."

"Okay, let's go take a look too."

Although he said he was going to take a look, when Li Daoxuan came out of the city lord's palace and walked not far, he found a food street and he couldn't walk.

It has been a long time since I came to this Witch City, but Li Daoxuan has never tasted any of the delicacies in this Witch City.

Today, I really enjoyed it. I ate directly from the street to the end of the street, eating in every shop.

If his stomach couldn't hold it anymore, he would really want to continue eating.

In the end, the two of them were walking lazily on the street with a bunch of roasted golden wings in their hands.

"Brother Li, have you noticed that there are many more people in this city recently, all coming from outside."

"Actually, I didn't expect that I would be able to protect so many people one day..."

Fang Jie smiled bitterly. In fact, he had always had a heavy burden in his heart, because the last resuscitation of Hemu could technically be attributed to him.

Those people who died can also be counted on his head.

Li Daoxuan ate the whole wing in one bite, leaving only two bones on the fork. He didn't know what kind of spices were put in the world. The taste was simply more fragrant than cumin.

"You are overthinking. The ones who really protect this Witch City are me, Zhou Xu Baijun, and Hu Yue. Who do you think you are?"

Li Daoxuan's sudden insults immediately devastated Fang Jie, and he cursed angrily.

But at the same time, the depression in his heart was much less.

The two of them were walking around, and the people around them were beaming with joy. Li Daoxuan was also quite happy to see them.

There was another child in front who wanted to eat candied haws. Seeing that his reluctant parents were about to pay for it, Li Daoxuan walked up and persuaded him: "Don't eat too much of this, as it will cause tooth decay."

The woman who had just made up her mind to buy it immediately put the money back and said firmly: "Yes, this big brother is right. You can't eat it. If you eat too much, it will cause tooth decay."

The little boy cried angrily. If his father hadn't been carrying him, he would have probably walked up and punched Li Daoxuan.

Turning around another street, I saw a rich lady meeting a scholar at the back door.

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan naturally thought of Zhou Yaya... So he glanced at the high-gate courtyard and shouted inside: "Where is your lady at the back door?"

The voice was loud, but the scholar didn't leave after hearing it. Instead, he held the girl's hand tightly, with a sincere look on his face.

Preliminary conclusion is that these two people should really love each other.

After doing bad things, Li Daoxuan didn't have time to eat. After a while, he bought a box in front of a shop selling pineapple cakes.

There is a little boy squatting next to him, also eating.

Li Daoxuan looked at what was in his box, then looked at what was in his own box, and then asked him: "Child, do you want pineapple cake?"

The little boy looked at the food in his box and hesitated. He wanted it but didn't dare to take it, but in the end he still didn't dare. He shook his head and said, "Big brother, you can eat it. I don't want it anymore."

"Oh, forget it if you don't want to."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he took away the whole box from the little boy. When he reacted, the "big brother" in front of him had already walked far away.

The little boy cried loudly. When he finished talking to his father, his father was also furious and clamored to show Li Daoxuan some color.

But when he was about to take action, he found that he had an extra ingot of silver in his hand.

He was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what he was doing, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Brother Li, why didn't I notice it before? Why are you so... so and so?" Fang Jie looked shocked.

"You want to know why I'm so mean, right?"

After eating two boxes of pineapple cakes, Li Daoxuan felt comfortable all over. There is nothing better than bullying children. If so, then bully a few more.

"Heaven and earth can tell, I never have this intention."

Li Daoxuan waved his hand casually, not bothering to answer, and for the next whole day, the two of them wandered around the city.

Li Daoxuan also changed his methods and bullied many children he met.

Until the sky becomes dark and the moon hangs high in the sky.

Amidst the joy of many people, Li Daoxuan and the others returned to the city lord's palace from all corners of the city.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that Zhu Ye was already waiting here, and there seemed to be some worry in his eyes.

"City Lord, do you really not inform the people first and ask them to stay at home?"

Hearing this question, Li Daoxuan was suddenly stunned and looked around at the busy and happy people on the street.

"This earthly world is already very miserable. If you can be happy for a while, just be happy for a while."

"Instead of living in fear, it is better to live happily and lively."

After speaking, Li Daoxuan looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him and said: "There are less than two hours left, so you should go back early and get ready... This time, you have to promote me to the sixth level no matter what. "

"Yes."

Li Daoxuan issued the order, and Zhu Ye left naturally.

Not long after, three people and one ghost brought chairs and sat in the garden between the front and back yards.

Li Daoxuan finally confirmed: "Are you ready for the foundation? In the next time, you have to open up and eat!"

"Everything is ready!" Fang Jie and Zhou Xu both said in unison.

Bai Jun was sitting behind Li Daoxuan, his eyes slightly lowered, slightly worried.

For the next time, a few people chatted with each other, their eyes often falling on the new moon in the sky.

I don’t know when.

Zhou Xu, who glanced up again, suddenly raised his voice, "Look, the moon is... getting rounder!"

Li Daoxuan hurriedly looked up and saw that the moon, which was originally a crescent moon, was slowly becoming round at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was like someone was blowing up a balloon from behind, inflating it.

Then, an unspeakable menace enveloped the land.

Li Daoxuan felt his heart sink, and words appeared on the panel.

[Reckless pig-killer, the second tide has finally arrived. Are you... ready? 】

　Don’t worry, I’ll try to do a big one tomorrow and I’ll definitely be able to finish the plot!

　　Then I will open a new volume the day after tomorrow - "First Quarter Moon"

　　Then please give me some monthly tickets for rewards. Woohoo, you will be more motivated if you have monthly tickets for rewards~
