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

Chapter 185: Promoted again, fifth-rate—promoted to master!

The ground that Mr. Tanxiao was staring at was empty and motionless.

"Ok?"

Li Daoxuan did not doubt the strength of Tanxiao Measuring, and his eyes glowed with a dim white light.

A long-lost common skill—knowing Qi!

The world in his eyes turned gray and white, but other than that, he saw no other abnormalities, and no red smoke showing evil spirits was seen.

Immediately, he used the dead eye again, but he saw no sign of being contaminated by evil spirits. The ground was all white.

Li Daoxuan did not give up, and a black mist poured out, directly covering the entire mountain.

But under his domain, he still found nothing.

Li Daoxuan then turned to look at Tanxiao.

The latter's eyes were still determined, "I'll give it a try."

Li Daoxuan also did not close up the domain, but opened the middle to cover the surrounding areas.

In this way, even if something is discovered, there is no way to escape.

Tanxiao swept the whisk away from his hand and placed it on his left hand. He immediately put away the playful expression on his face and turned it into solemnity.

He stepped on Gangstep, and Li Daoxuan couldn't understand the pattern of his footfalls, but he felt that every footfall carried a special charm.

He walked faster and faster, and when the last step fell, he stepped down hard.

This kick actually made a roar.

"Boom-"

After this step, he didn't move anymore, but every footprint he left before was filled with green light.

Footprints surrounded the spot where he had first seen them.

"out!"

Talking and laughing, he gave a soft drink and pointed at the whisk in his hand.

Then a... toad squatting on the ground gradually appeared.

The figure became clearer and clearer, and Li Daoxuan saw clearly that the toad was actually holding a human face.

But what does it matter?

Ghosts, ghosts, and sneaky things are all the same thing.

He appeared in a flash, holding out the butcher's knife in his hand.

"Show mercy!"

The talking and laughing Taoist priest opened his eyes wide and shouted hurriedly.

The butcher knife in Li Daoxuan's hand stopped in front of the monster, but he didn't let it go. The handle of the butcher knife stretched out and turned into a long stick, and hit the monster's head hard.

After a "pop" sound, a bloody stick mark appeared on the monster's head.

The monster immediately covered its head and screamed, and it jumped up as if it was about to escape.

The chatter behind him stamped his feet again, and the ground where the monster was immediately turned dark.

When it hit the ground, it made the sound of gold and stone colliding.

Tanxiao stepped forward and saw such a scene, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Daoxuan, be merciful, be merciful, this is a good thing."

"What good stuff?"

The fifth sister on the side also came over and looked at the monster with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"The human-faced toad is a natural eavesdropper. Judging from its concealment methods, you should know...if I hadn't encountered it before, I wouldn't have been able to detect it."

Tan Xiao walked forward, looked at the toad squatting on the ground, and rubbed his hands, but he didn't say anything.

Li Daoxuan glanced at it and said directly: "If you have a way to conquer it, just take it."

"Okay, thank you Brother Daoxuan!"

After talking and joking, he stepped forward and kept making seals on his hands. Finally, he took out a piece of talisman paper with his left hand and stuck it on the toad with a human face. He then patted a sumuru-like purse around his waist.

The human-faced toad made a "croak" sound and jumped in.

"With this thing, it will be easier for us to operate in the Evil Suppression Tower."

The Taoist priest smiled happily.

"Well, back to the previous question, tell me what you are good at?" Li Daoxuan's domain has not dispersed, obviously to prevent others from eavesdropping here.

Tan Xiao put away the smile on his face, held a fly whisk in his hand, and said: "The poor monk is good at calculations. It is no exaggeration to say that there are very few things in the lower world that can be hidden from me. Even if there are, I can calculate some clues."

"Secondly, Pindao is not good at fighting, so Brother Daoxuan needs to take care of him."

Li Daoxuan said "hmm". He had also seen the method of talking and laughing.

It can only be said that if this method is used well, it will definitely be a winning weapon. It is no wonder that Qiu Wuming called him here.

Li Daoxuan's eyes fell on the twin sisters again.

They both nodded. Finally, the woman on the left, Li Daoxuan, couldn't tell whether it was his elder sister or younger sister, let alone the fifth Yanran or the fifth Shuran.

Just listen to her say: "My sister and I are good at fighting, well... If we are one-on-one, we are both sure to take down a fifth-rate grain eater. If we join forces, we can bring out the fighting power of a fourth-rate grain eater... But this combination will It consumes life span and cannot be used more, and it can only be done after entering the Evil Suppressing Tower and being promoted."

"very good."

Li Daoxuan could certainly tell that the two people in front of him were also sixth-rate [matchmakers], but judging from what they said, they were probably just like him, as long as they entered the Evil Suppression Tower, they would be promoted.

"Are you two reincarnated as well?"

Li Daoxuan knew that Tanxiao was the reincarnation, but he didn't know about them.

"No."

The woman who spoke earlier continued: "We have received the favor of Taoist Talk and Laughter, so we can have the strength we have now."

"You two said such kind words again."

Tanxiao waved his hand, indicating that it was not worth mentioning.

Li Daoxuan ignored it and said, "There is one last question... How can I tell you two apart?"

They both looked at each other and smiled.

"I am my sister Wu Shuran, and she is my sister Wu Yanran." The woman who spoke before smiled and replied: "As for the distinction... I have a mole here. Captain, you will know if you spend more time with us. Now, basically I am the one who can talk.”

"My sister doesn't like to talk."

Wu Shuran shook her head as she spoke, and then touched her sister's head.

Wu Yanran smiled shyly and said hello.

Li Daoxuan heard the words and wrote them down, then immediately closed the field.

Suddenly a voice came from the side, "Li Daoxuan, why didn't you ask me! Do you look down on me?"

The three people turned around and saw that the stone table, which was originally a puddle of mud, had now regained its shape.

At least the human shape can be seen in the head, while the rest of the place is still a puddle of mud.

"Yes."

Li Daoxuan said unceremoniously.

Seeing that he still wanted to speak, Li Daoxuan said again: "If you have this intention, why don't you recover quickly? You don't see that all of us are waiting for you, which is holding you back."

"Good good."

"Li Daoxuan, how dare you insult me ​​over and over again, I, Shi Ji, swear that I will kill you!"

Li Daoxuan ignored the toughest guy in the whole body and sat down on the snow. "How much do you know about the first floor of this evil-suppressing tower?"

The fifth sister naturally set her sights on Tanxiao.

The latter did not disappoint Li Daoxuan. He held a whisk in his hand and said directly: "According to Pindao's understanding, the first level of the evil-suppressing tower is called - Ghost Ship."

"The ship is floating in an endless sea and is traveling normally, but everyone on the ship is dead... And if you want to successfully pass through this first world, you must find out the cause of death of these people."

"Do all people die from the same cause?"

"It can only be said that this is the case most of the time, but special circumstances are not excluded."

"Then those of us who go in are all together. As long as one of us is found, wouldn't we all be able to pass?"

Wu Yanran, who had been silent until now, spoke up, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she went straight to the core of the problem.

Taoist Tanxiao smiled, "Of course not, it's just that those who enter in the same batch will be sent to the same ship. For example, if we enter together, then we will be on the same ship. If the others enter alone, then One person on a boat.”

"There are countless ghost ships floating on this endless sea."

Shi Ji, who had recovered a little and could at least look like a human, said, but just after he finished speaking, he added, "In my opinion, just chop down all the ghost ships." Several people who were talking I automatically ignored his mindless remarks.

Tanxiao continued: "If we find the cause of death of all of them, we have to go to the captain's room and tell the captain the truth about this matter. Only then will the captain wake up and realize that we have passed the first level of the world."

"If it is a special situation and the cause of death is different for everyone, then you have to find out the cause of death for each person separately, and then tell them the cause of death."

"By the way, when we enter, we will automatically become a member of the ship and blend in."

After talking and laughing about the news he knew, he became a Taoist priest and sat down again.

Li Daoxuan rubbed the handle of the butcher's knife, and after careful consideration, he said: "I have an idea, that is, if we kill all the crew members on the ship, can we pass the test?"

"Li Daoxuan is right!"

"Why are there so many twists and turns? Just defeat them!" Shi Ji agreed with Li Daoxuan's idea.

Even the fifth sister was a little moved.

Tanxiao hurriedly persuaded: "You can't do it, you can't do it, you must not do anything with them."

"They are already dead. If anyone kills them again, it will be considered as breaking the rules of the ghost ship, and they will be kept inside forever."

"So don't do anything."

While talking and laughing, he focused on Shi Ji, who was already able to help him sit up. "Although you can't die, the ghost ship can trap you forever. If you don't want to live in that small place all your life, On the ghost ship, you can also choose to take action."

Shi Ji's face, which had just fully recovered his head, turned ugly, and you could even see the veins popping up on his forehead.

"If you really want to go on a killing spree, you'd better wait for the second level."

"Let's go." Li Daoxuan patted his butt and stood up. "No matter how much you say, it's just talk on paper. Why don't you go over and take a look and see the real deal under your hands."

"indeed."

He stood up while talking and laughing, but he was thinking in his heart... Talking on paper?

This word is a bit interesting. I never thought that my seemingly reckless brother Daoxuan was actually a well-educated person.

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he didn't care about Shi Ji, whose hands had not yet recovered, and directly rolled up the field with his domain, enveloping everyone, and came to the Evil Suppression Tower again.

What was different from when he first came to take action was that when Li Daoxuan came here this time, he arrived directly at the front of the Evil Suppression Tower.

Looking up, I can't see the top, I can only see a dark... big stick sticking straight into the sky?

Anyway, that was Li Daoxuan's first feeling.

And just after a while, text finally popped up on the panel.

[The first quarter moon is approaching, and the pig-killer who has made a small breakthrough feels more and more that he can gain a foothold in this world and begins to travel around the world. 】

[You are walking in the desolate northern territory, and you will see one of the three true towers in the world - Zhenxie. Your survival points +16 (blue). 】

Li Daoxuan immediately added this survival point to his energy and blood, and then realized what he was doing.

This evil-suppressing tower has so many survival points after checking in... and the prompt on the panel is that it is one of the three true towers in the world.

What is the origin of this evil-suppressing tower?

"Have you ever heard of a tower with the same name as the Evil Suppression Tower?" Li Daoxuan asked casually.

Shi Ji snorted and turned away, as if he was disdainful.

But in fact no one wanted to pay attention to him.

The fifth sister was shocked by the majesty of the black tower and shook her head.

Only the well-informed Tanxiao explained: "There is another building in the Zhongjiu world... It can also be called a tower, which is as famous as the evil-suppressing tower."

"Oh?"

"The name of that building is... the Red Tower, also called the Red Tower. It is also a famous existence. It can be considered as famous as the unpredictable evil-suppressing tower."

"Red Tower? Is there anything strange about that place?" Wu Shuran frowned, his eyes full of curiosity.

There was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes as he talked and laughed.

"The Red Mansion... is just a dream."

After saying that, he looked a little lonely.

Li Daoxuan vaguely guessed something.

The talkative Fifth Yanran asked tentatively: "You mean, after entering this red building, you will have a dream?"

Taoist priest Tanxiao nodded, then shook his head, "Yes or no, after entering, you will seem to be reincarnated again, and you will live your life again as a mortal, a mortal who has never stepped into the path of a grain eater. "

"Death is the awakening from a dream... The Red Mansion is a place that must be experienced by the top grain eaters in the middle and ninth-level world."

After chatting and laughing, Zi Gu shook his head and said, "It's too far. Let's finish walking through the Evil Suppression Tower first."

After listening to Tanxiao's explanation, Li Daoxuan had only one thought in his mind... the dreamer!

Isn't this exactly the same as a dreamer?

It's just that people can't die in the Red Mansion, but people can die in the dream ghost... It's just that the effect is similar, but the specifics will definitely be different.

"gone."

Li Daoxuan said, taking a step forward, stepping into the black curtain in front of him, and then disappeared.

As soon as he entered, the chattering and laughing people naturally hurriedly followed him. Finally, Shi Ji, who was limping, hesitated for a moment, as if he was struggling, but in the end he thought of something, turned pale, and chose to follow him.

Several people disappeared.

Immediately, only the howling wind and snow were left in the Jiuling Mountains, and there was no more human habitation. After waiting for a moment, a blue light suddenly appeared on a mountain in the distance, falling like a meteor in front of the Evil Suppression Tower, and turned into a head. A man with one horn.

He stepped into this evil-suppressing tower alone.

……

Li Daoxuan felt his eyes go dark at first.

When he could see clearly again, he found that he was already in a small room. The sound of rushing water could be heard in his ears, and his body was swaying slightly.

When he lowered his head again, he found that the black robe he was wearing had turned into a sailor uniform made of coarse cloth.

So this is...already on the ghost ship?

As if answering Li Daoxuan's question, text appeared on the panel.

[You step into the Evil Suppression Tower and come to the first floor. You are on a ghost ship. Please find a way to leave this world as soon as possible. Remember, be careful of other grain eaters. Your survival points are +6 (blue). 】

While adding some points, Li Daoxuan also noticed the text on the panel.

Watch out for other grain eaters?

But aren’t all ghost ships separate?

Could it be that we should be careful about Taoist Tanxiao and the Fifth Sister? Li Daoxuan didn't have time to think about it. The most urgent task at the moment was to take this last foundation first.

Take out the mermaid bone box containing the foundation of the Six-Level [Time Demon] from the Sumeru and open it. Only the last foundation that is still beating is left inside.

Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate at all, just picked it up, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Before, when I was outside, I had to worry about whether I could enter the Evil Suppression Tower after being promoted, but now that I have already entered, there is no need to worry.

The foundation entered his belly, and he was immediately attracted to Li Daoxuan's foundation, and then was swallowed up, and the two merged into one again.

[The greedy butcher once again swallowed the foundation of a "Time Demon". Unexpectedly, you, who had just been promoted, would once again reach the end of the "Time Demon" system. Your survival points are +3 (blue). 】

The words appeared on the panel, but Li Daoxuan's attention was on his foundation.

In his clear perception, his foundation had reached its peak, and then like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, a gap opened in the middle.

Immediately afterwards, his foundation was... shedding little by little!

[Time demons are an alternative in the wilderness of the secular world. You are disgusted and feared by many creatures in the secular world. 】

[Gradually, you yourselves are a little tired of living in the wilderness. You cannot see the light, you can only hide in the darkness, and you gradually yearn for life in a big secular city. 】

[But you greedy and sinful Time Demons are unwilling to give up your own luxurious life. After all, you have attracted the group of dirty thieves in the world to join you... Time Demons. 】

[By chance, you came into contact with a group in the city - Shengshou! 】

[They hold fair authority within a certain range. 】

[You want to join, but everyone in the secular world is greedy, and the Shengshou has offered you a huge price. 】

[The yearning for the city forced you to agree. From then on... after that period of time, your bad reputation spread throughout the wilderness of the world. 】

[In order to make up for the price of promotion, you did all kinds of evil, but fortunately, you finally got what you needed to get promotion. 】

[It is fair for promotion in the secular world. He sees your yearning for the city, he sees your piety... Of course, he also sees the money in your hand. 】

[You handed over your price, he gave you the ladder to go up, and you completed a "fair" transaction. 】

[The wilderness of the secular world is rampant. 】

[In the end, you handed over most of your wealth. The time demon who used to do all kinds of evil in the world was cleansed and transformed into a person who holds fair authority in the city - Shengshou! 】

[Greedy Pig Butcher, congratulations, you have been promoted to a fifth-rate grain eater—promoted to a master! 】
