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

Chapter 187 You and I are both sailors, but he is the first mate! 【Ask for monthly ticket】

Li Daoxuan showed no abnormality at all, and the same was true for Wu Yanran.

When he reached the door of his room, Li Daoxuan opened the door and walked in. Taoist Tanxiao followed closely behind him, and the last one who came in was Wu Yanran.

Although the other sailors were a little surprised, they didn't say anything.

Chatting among sailors is a common thing.

After the three people came in one after another, Taoist Tanxiao took a long breath and said, "Brother Daoxuan, our luck is not very good."

"The cause of death is different for each crew member, isn't it?"

"As expected of me, Brother Daoxuan." He smiled and gave a thumbs up to Li Daoxuan, and then said: "But it's not entirely a bad thing."

"How to say?"

The cabin where the sailors lived was already small, and after the three people came in, they were even more crowded together, but fortunately, neither of them cared about these details.

Tanxiao continued: "Out of 100%, as long as we can ensure an accuracy rate of 90%, we will pass the first level of the world."

"Secondly, compared to other ghost ships, the reward for our final passage will be more generous."

"The prerequisite still needs to be passed."

Li Daoxuan said and put the butcher's knife into Xumi, "Where are Shi Ji and Wu Shuran, have you met them?"

"No, I brought them here together when we met, but Pindao can figure it out."

Talking and laughing, he took out three rusty bronze coins from Sumeru, "As soon as I came in, Pindao was first thinking about finding Brother Daoxuan. Now let me see where they are."

As he spoke, he tossed the three bronze coins upwards, and then lightly tapped the three coins with his free right hand, causing the coins to rise again.

The last clasped palm was held in his hand.

His face, which was originally ordinary, suddenly lit up.

"what happened?"

Wu Yanran was worried that something might happen to her sister, so she hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, your sister is a sailor like us. She will be cleaning the deck and will probably be back soon. On the contrary, Shi Ji..."

"What's up with him?"

"Isn't it just that he died once?" Li Daoxuan was very unsure of him.

"That's not true..." Tanxiao shook his head, "You two have absolutely no idea what his identity is now. He actually reincarnated as the second officer of this ship!"

"What?"

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but be a little surprised by these words, so are there really some people who are being chased and fed by God?

Not to mention having an undead ghost who is completely in control, if you enter a ghost ship, you can be reincarnated as the second officer...

It's so annoying to compare people to each other!

Not only Li Daoxuan, but also Tanxiao and Wu Yanran had complicated expressions after learning the news.

"I just found something wrong in the bottom cabin with Wu Yanran."

Immediately afterwards, Li Daoxuan told them all about their previous encounters, focusing on the matter of human blood.

After listening carefully to the conversation, he immediately grasped Li Daoxuan's meaning, "Brother Daoxuan, you mean... do you suspect that is where the crew was killed?"

"Ah."

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly, and at the same time he felt that talking to smart people was indeed a lot easier.

Tan Xiao frowned, rubbed the copper coins he had just taken out, and said: "I can only say that it is possible, but it is not very likely...Based on Pindao's calculations on the way here just now, except for a few of us, there are no more people on this ship." There are no living people, and the crew members have probably been dead for ten days."

"Judging from this situation, it is unlikely that there will be any new blood."

"But no matter what, there is definitely something weird in that place."

"This is also..." Li Daoxuan also agreed with what Tanxiao said, "In this case, I will keep an eye on it first."

After he finished speaking, he took out a small paper figure from Sumeru and threw it on the ground. The latter immediately came to life.

A paper figure no bigger than a finger was running around on the ground.

Tanxiao's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Brother Daoxuan, you actually have such a good thing."

"It's just luck."

Li Daoxuan urged the paper man to get out from under the door. Following the route he had just taken, he soon arrived at the stairs.

But this time... he discovered that the staircase that could still go down was missing.

At the entrance of the stairs, there is only one staircase going up.

Li Daoxuan didn't believe in evil, so he urged the paper man to go over again, and checked there carefully, but he didn't find the stairs going down.

He also thought that it might be a message from the agency that blocked the door.

But no matter how strict the agency's information is, it will leave a trace on the ground.

But...no, not at all. Li Daoxuan had no choice but to urge the paper man to look around to see if there was a switch to open the secret door.

nor.

He had no choice but to let the paper man come back.

After he told the situation, Tanxiao analyzed: "It should be agency news, but the control switch is not here."

"In this case, there is only one way left. Where is Shi Ji? Find him."

Shi Ji is now the second officer, so he should know more information. Even if he really doesn't know, his status can make things easier.

"Ah."

They nodded in agreement and took the initiative to lead the way.

But we just came to the stairs. After we went up to the first floor, facing the corridors extending in all directions, we could only ask for directions.

"Do you know where the second officer is now?"

Li Daoxuan asked a boatswain.

The latter was a little displeased and was about to get angry, but when he saw Li Daoxuan's knife handle that was exposed inadvertently and there was no one around him, he became much more honest.

"What are you looking for the second mate for? He just got a lesson from the first mate. If he hadn't been pulled by someone, he would have started fighting with the first mate. He is currently being held in solitary confinement."

"Oh? Why?"

Li Daoxuan was just a little confused, but not surprised, because as the second mate, he ended up having sex with the first mate... It was indeed Shi Ji's temperament.

"I don't know the specifics. I just heard that the second mate seemed to be calling the first mate a dead man..."

After the boatswain finished speaking, he got rid of Li Daoxuan and took his arm, "I have something to do here, so I'll leave first."

Li Daoxuan pulled too hard. As soon as he let go, the boatswain's entire left hand fell off.

But he didn't seem to feel anything at all and just left.

Li Daoxuan and the others looked at each other in shock, and finally kicked the severed hand casually in the corner.

"Calculate where the solitary room is."

Taoist priest Tanxiao was very good at using it, and Li Daoxuan was too lazy to think of a solution on his own.

"Ah."

Tanxiao took out his three copper coins again and tossed them around gracefully, but the coins rose and fell again.

His expression also changed slightly.

Just when Wu Yanran wanted to ask what was wrong, Jian Tanxiao took out another bronze coin from Sumeru.

This time it was even more direct, throwing four pieces in a row.

With this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I figured it out, the place where I was imprisoned..."

As he said that, he looked at Li Daoxuan and said, "It's at the bottom, the place we can't go to."

When Li Daoxuan heard this statement, he clicked his tongue and said, "I have to say that he has a good way to make things happen."

"Now what?"

Wu Yanran cast her eyes on Li Daoxuan, and the meaning in her eyes was already self-evident.

She wanted to go find her sister.

Fortunately, Li Daoxuan's choice did not disappoint her hopes.

"Let's find Wu Shuran first, and then we can meet up first."

"That's easy to handle, she's right near where we just lived."

After saying that, the group returned to the original route and came to the room where Wu Yanran had been.

"Boom boom boom——"

Wu Yanran knocked on the door and immediately revealed a face that was exactly like hers. The scene was like she was looking in the mirror.

Wu Shuran was also very happy to see them.

But after entering the house...it was very crowded, so crowded that the two sisters could only sit together, and then they all reluctantly entered the house.

Wu Yanran quickly recounted what they had just experienced, and Wu Shuran was not surprised after listening.

"I also discovered that everyone's cause of death is different, and... I have found the cause of death of a sailor and sent him to reincarnation."

"Ok?"

Li Daoxuan looked at her doubtfully, and Wu Shuran continued to explain: "When I was cleaning the deck just now, I discovered that a sailor was actually hanged by the winch on the deck. After I told him the truth of the matter, he It just disappeared into ashes.”

"By the way, he left this thing for me after he died."

Wu Shuran said as he took out a small fish-shaped coin from her waist and handed it to Li Daoxuan.

He reached out and took it. He couldn't see it, so he could only wait for the panel to prompt him.

Fortunately, the panel lived up to his expectations, and text appeared soon.

[Dead man's money on the ghost ship: The dead on the special ghost ship will leave their dead man's money after they know that they are dead. The dead man's money can be used by the grain eaters to exchange for things after passing through the ghost ship world.

But it is said that the dead man's money has another purpose, and it is on this ghost ship. ] "This is dead money. After we get it, after we pass the first level, this dead money can be used to exchange for things."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he handed it to Tanxiao. There was a use for the latter. Maybe there were too few clues and the panel was vague, so he didn't say anything.

"That's indeed what Brother Daoxuan said."

After Tanxiao looked at it for a few times, he returned it to Wu Shuran.

"Now..." The three of them turned their attention to Li Daoxuan again. At this time, only he, the captain, could make the decision.

"Ignore Shi Ji for now. Wait until he comes out. Let's find the cause of death of other sailors first. If we can solve some of them, we can get the dead man's money first."

Li Daoxuan made a decision in just a few words.

"okay!"

As they were preparing to go out, Li Daoxuan asked Tanxiao again, "Is it possible if we directly drill through the door to the downstairs?"

Since there is no door, open a door yourself.

There was nothing to brag about in Tanxiao, but he mused: "Actually, since the interior of this ghost ship can isolate the field, I think with our strength, it is very likely that we will not be able to cause any harm to the hull. If we can... I don't recommend Brother Daoxuan to do this. Do."

"Okay, got it."

Li Daoxuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's just stay here and separate."

After going out, the four of them dispersed. Li Daoxuan came to a closed door and pushed it open.

Sitting inside was a man with obvious rope marks on his neck.

He was lying on the bed, as if polishing something, when he heard a sudden movement behind him, and he was startled.

When he turned around, he was about to curse a few words, but after seeing the butcher knife in Li Daoxuan's hand, he was afraid again.

"What...what do you want to do?"

I want to do you... Li Daoxuan tied the butcher's knife back to his waist, came to him, and sat down cross-legged, "No, I'm new here. I live next to you. I thought I'd come over and acknowledge the door, and talk to him by the way. You make a friend.”

"Do you want to hand it over?"

Li Daoxuan asked as he touched the butcher knife on his waist.

The sailor swallowed and said, "Hon... you are my friend."

"Well, let me ask you, do you have any enemies? There should be a sailor on this ship. If so, I will help you teach him a lesson... Who makes you my friend?"

Li Daoxuan said it seriously, which made the sailor hesitate.

To be precise, it was fear... He didn't know what Li Daoxuan wanted to do.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Daoxuan frowned, "You know, I never like friends who are coy. If you continue to be so coy..."

"I have, I have... This guy who lives across from me used to be from the same village as me. I didn't deal with him since we were kids. After we got on the boat, he told me more than once that he would kill me sooner or later. "

The sailor swallowed as he spoke, but what was more noticeable was the anger in his eyes.

"Great, by the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Ge Erzhuang."

Li Daoxuan patted his shoulder with a butcher's knife, turned around and left for the room opposite, and the first thing he said when he opened the door was.

"Who asked you to kill Ge Erzhuang!"

His voice was stern, with a tone that could not be questioned.

The sailor was obviously a little stunned, and the first thing he said was, "How did you know?"

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan closed the door again and turned back to Ge Erzhuang's room.

Seeing Li Daoxuan come in, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, "Did you really teach him a lesson? I also wanted to teach him a lesson, but I couldn't win. Now I just want to go back and see my son."

He said, turning his head to look at the lens he had been polishing on the bed, and sighed.

Li Daoxuan ignored his sensational words, but came directly to him, looked at the deep marks on his neck, and said softly:

"You are already dead."

"I...died?" Ge Erzhuang seemed to have thought of something and murmured, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Impossible, I'm alive and well! How could I die!"

"You must be lying to me."

Li Daoxuan continued: "You were killed by the man opposite you. Have you forgotten? On that day, he strangled you from behind with a rope. He used all his strength and said he wanted to kill you. Please He said goodbye and begged him for mercy, but he refused to let go until his death. He was so strong that you gradually lost your reaction..."

The more Li Daoxuan spoke, the more confused Ge Erzhuang's eyes became, until finally only his stunned eyes remained.

"I seem... really dead."

As his voice fell, his whole body turned into flying ashes and dissipated as Wu Shuran said. What appeared on the ground instead was a dead man's money that looked like a silver fish.

Li Dao Just be honest.

But what he said was still the same.

"I really don't have any enemies. I am the unscrupulous type on this ship. My bosun and I are buddies, and the other two bosuns nearby are also willing to give me a favor."

"I, Ge Liu, really enjoy myself on this ship."

He looked like he was on the verge of crying, and he really couldn't understand why this river-crossing dragon that appeared halfway had to ask who his enemy was.

Listening to his words, Li Daoxuan didn't seem to be lying, but looking at the knife on his chest, it was clear that he had been stabbed to death.

Could it be that when he killed Ge Erzhuang, Ge Erzhuang stabbed him to death with his backhand?

It's unlikely. Ge Erzhuang shouldn't have such strength, and if Ge Erzhuang really did it, he should have been able to think of it just now.

"Just stay here and don't go out."

After Li Daoxuan said viciously, he turned and left the room.

When he just went out, he saw that the door next to him was also opened, and Wu Yanran walked out.

Although they didn't get along much, Li Daoxuan was able to distinguish the two of them quickly.

The sister was basically expressionless and gentle in her actions. Seeing her frowning, Li Daoxuan asked, "Isn't it solved?"

"No, I tried two places in a row but couldn't find any clues."

After saying that, the door to the room opposite her was also opened, and the fifth Shuran walked out. Her face was also a little ugly.

"I finally knew that I was indeed lucky to be able to find out the cause of that person's death in the first place."

She shook her head as she said, "I can't find any clues here."

"We can only wait until Tan Dao Zhang comes out and ask him." As soon as Wu Yanran finished speaking, the door next to Li Daoxuan opened, and Tan Xiao, who was also frowning, walked out.

Seeing his expression, Li Daoxuan knew that things seemed to be a little difficult.

"The time of death of everyone should be similar. Even if there is a deviation, it should be on the same day."

Tanxiao walked over while talking.

"Well, that's true."

"But Pindao walked into the rooms of several sailors. Although he also figured out the reasons for their deaths, he found something very strange."

Before Li Daoxuan and the others could ask their own questions, Tanxiao explained: "Although they were all killed by other sailors, there is no hatred between them and the sailors who killed them."

"One of them I didn't even know...but ended up getting killed."

After he finished speaking, the fifth sister looked at each other.

Li Daoxuan also understood what Tanxiao wanted to express.

"There are evil spirits! They are contaminated!" Wu Shuran said firmly.

"I think so too."

Wu Yanran agreed softly.

"Can you find any clues about the evil spirit?" Li Daoxuan asked directly.

"You can try it."

While talking and laughing, he was about to take out his bronze coins and try it, but at this moment, there were urgent footsteps at the end of the corridor.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"I wonder if it's dark now! If you stay outside the room even when it's dark, you're looking for death!"

It was a boatswain who came over.

Tanxiao said hurriedly: "Forgot, forget, we will go back right now."

"It seems like you can't go out at night..." Tanxiao finished speaking quickly and walked towards Li Daoxuan's room.

Fortunately, after the boatswain finished speaking, he passed by them, obviously going to see other places.

"Something may happen tonight, so please stay at my place for the night."

After saying that, the four of them entered his room one after another. The outside had already quieted down, and they could only hear the sound of waves lapping against the hull of the ship.

"No, Brother Daoxuan, please listen carefully."

The Taoist priest who was about to sit down suddenly spoke up, and the fifth sister also stopped and froze in place.

Li Daoxuan also pricked up his ears.

Outside the door, there was... laughter.

It's still a woman's laughter.

"Giggle, it seems like some new... toys have arrived."

ps: It’s the end of the month, and the monthly tickets are all out. I’m still a little short of reaching one thousand, so please fulfill my little wish.

　I tried it and then continued writing. It was so scary that I got goosebumps as I wrote it. I will write this paragraph again during the day. Wow.
