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

Li Daoxuan has a brain, but is too lazy to use it.

Don't want to use it!

Not to mention that this ghost ship was moving very fast and was about to pass through the storm area.

And whether it’s judging from the crew members on the ghost ship or the prompts on the panel, the storm area we will experience next...

very dangerous.

No one even knows what will happen next.

Instead of analyzing bit by bit, peel off the cocoon.

It is better to cut through the mess with a sharp sword, or to capture the thief directly and capture the king first.

After destroying this captain, we can look at the others.

So after Li Daoxuan finished asking, everyone stared at the captain of the ghost ship in front of them.

The latter was also a little confused, and even couldn't believe it.

"What...are you talking about?" The captain was a little surprised.

Li Daoxuan was about to repeat something, but at this moment, a tall man suddenly walked in from behind and shouted angrily.

"You thieves are talking nonsense. If you want to die, just say so!"

After saying that, he hit Tanxiao on the head with a fist as big as a sandbag.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Tanxiao directly took out a piece of talisman paper from Sumeru. He had no doubt that if this punch hit his forehead, he, a Taoist priest, would die.

But it was about to be smashed down.

This fist was blocked by another hand.

Still stopped easily.

Li Daoxuan looked at the bearded man in front of him who looked 70% or 80% similar to the captain, and 50% or 60% similar to the old sailor he had seen on the ground floor, and said seriously:

"Speak well and don't get angry if you disagree, otherwise I will let you know why the flowers are so red!"

The bearded man struggled a few times, but Li Daoxuan squeezed his fist but there was no reaction at all.

"Everyone comes out to make a living. You have such good skin, that's why you can stand here and piss off us desperate sailors. Look who suffers!"

Although Li Daoxuan couldn't take direct action against these people on the ship, he could still do whatever he threatened.

Anyway, two shoulders carry one head, who is afraid of whom?

After saying that, he pushed hard and pushed the man directly to the corner, against the wall, and then stopped.

But being interrupted like this, the captain obviously no longer believed what Li Daoxuan just said.

"Captain, this should be... the first mate, right?"

Tanxiao took a step forward and said to the two people with a smile: "My brother doesn't mean any harm. The reason why he just said that is because we met an old sailor in the sailors' residential area. His appearance... can only be said Exactly the same as the two of you.”

"what?"

The captain who was still smiling warmly changed his face immediately after hearing this.

"What did you say? You saw an old sailor who looks like us?!"

The captain immediately glanced at the bearded man, the first mate, and said, "Second brother, that's... dad!"

There was a hint of shock in his eyes.

Li Daoxuan also guessed this possibility, but he never said it. Now when he heard Tanxiao say this... he glanced at this wise old man.

The latter nodded calmly, indicating that he could come.

Li Daoxuan just let him do it.

"It's unlikely. Is it possible that my father has been dead for so long and his soul is still on this ship?"

The first mate had an ugly face. When he passed by Li Daoxuan, he shook his collar, looking very unconvinced.

But the gray-haired captain had some...unexplainable meaning.

He looked at Tan and smiled and said, "Where did you meet? Take me to see you."

"Okay, let's take the captain there...but here..."

He was talking and laughing and looking around, as if to say that his mission was not yet completed.

"You don't have to worry about it here, someone will take care of it later."

After saying that, he walked out and walked directly to the sailors' living area downstairs. Li Daoxuan and others hurriedly followed.

Not long after.

Li Daoxuan and others stopped at the door of the room where they met the old sailor last night. The captain looked at the locked door.

He picked up the rusty lock and looked at it, then turned around and asked, "Are you sure this is the room you entered last night?"

Li Daoxuan looked at the door and was a little surprised, because no matter when he went in last night or when he came out this morning, he didn't remember that there was a lock on the door. Even from the lock, it seemed that the door had been locked for a long time. It has never been opened.

Could it be that... some of us were evil here last night?

Otherwise, why would you fall into such an illusion.

But Tanxiao obviously knew something, and he said confidently: "That's true. The layout inside is...and the old sailor we saw..."

Immediately, Tanxiao recounted everything they experienced and saw last night.

Only some words of the old sailor were hidden.

The more the captain listened, the brighter his eyes became.

By the time the conversation was over, he no longer had any doubts, so he took a key from his waist, picked out one of the keys, and opened it.

He and the first mate walked in, looked inside and out, and then called in to talk and laugh, and asked many questions.

Li Daoxuan and the fifth sister stayed outside the door, waiting quietly. Unlike in the main control room upstairs, the captain was traveling at the moment, and there were many more crew members wearing armor around him.

They are all dead, and one of them is almost ready to see his skeleton.

Li Daoxuan had no intention of taking action, but suddenly, he seemed to hear something.

He looked at the fifth sister.

Wu Yanran nodded calmly, indicating that she heard it too.

Wu Shuran wanted to ask, but the next second, she heard it too.

Someone... is fighting, and it's under the cabin.

Further down is the bottom of the cabin.

Everything was packed with ballast cargo, and even Shi Ji and the second mate were locked up underneath.

But why is there the sound of fighting down there? Could someone be having sex with Shi Ji?

While Li Daoxuan was wondering, the captain and first mate also walked out, leading the conversation and laughing.

Just as he was about to speak, the whole ship swung violently, and they almost fell down without being able to hold it steady.

Then a soldier who had just come down from the deck upstairs approached the captain and whispered a few words in a low voice.

The captain's expression changed slightly after hearing this, "I'll go back right now."

After saying that, he looked at Tanxiao and the others, and thought for a moment, "You guys wait here for me, don't move around casually, I will call you after I finish my work."

"Yes, Captain."

After saying that, he led the first mate and many soldiers away.

But when passing by Li Daoxuan, no one noticed that an extremely small paper man fell on the ground, hid behind a soldier, and followed him.

When they reached the stairs, the captain seemed to suddenly think of something and said: "The second officer is still in confinement, right? It's an emergency. Call him up first."

When he mentioned the second officer, he seemed to think of something again and looked back at Li Daoxuan.

But in the end he didn’t say anything.

After he left, Li Daoxuan and others looked at each other, and they all saw the joy in each other's eyes.

The wooden door leading to the lowest level of the agency is finally about to be opened!

"be prepared."

Li Dao

Li Daoxuan said this more to make them mentally prepared.

Then they came to the previous stairs and waited quietly.

After less than a cup of tea, there was a sudden sound on the originally flat ground. Then, the wooden board was pulled aside, and a dark hole appeared in front of them.

Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate at all. The moment the cave entrance appeared, he jumped in.

Immediately afterwards came the talk and laugh expert, and at the end he even made a fortune.

"Xiao Xi, please be careful."

Wait until the end, the fifth sister.

But before they could stand firm, Wu Yanran, who was walking at the end, said quickly: "Be careful, someone is following."

Li Daoxuan also heard the footsteps coming from above, and immediately stopped without leaving.

Then I saw two soldiers coming down the stairs, and they immediately said: "What are you doing down here? Didn't the captain ask you to wait for him upstairs?"

One soldier had no wounds on his body, and the other had a dagger stuck in his neck.

Without saying a word, Li Daoxuan directly tied up the killed soldier with the dog leash around his waist.

The sudden attack, still in this small space, made the two soldiers unable to react at all.

"And you, didn't you realize that you were already dead?"

Li Daoxuan spoke very quickly, directly exposing the existence of another soldier.

Just for a moment, he still wanted to speak, and thick hair suddenly emerged from his mouth and nose. Li Daoxuan let go of his hand, and the butcher's knife was held in his hand.

At the same time, the hot oil on the waist is also ready.

Everything is just waiting for this ball of hair to come out, and then a one-hit kill.

In just two or three breaths, the hair was almost completely out, and the corpse behind it turned into ashes.

Wu Shuran fished it out and took the dead man's money in his hand.

Li Daoxuan just wanted to pour out a pot of hot oil.

While talking and laughing, I saw something and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Daoxuan, be careful!"

Li Daoxuan also felt the killing intent coming from behind him. He raised his hand incidentally, and the hot oil in his hand was poured directly behind him.

"Tsk--" a sound came out. In such a delay, the young sea woman who had just crawled out disappeared at the end of the corridor with a few jumps.

From the corner of his eye, Li Daoxuan saw that this time, this sea woman had a humanoid body under her thick hair.

Although it is very unequal and incongruous, it can indeed be seen.

But he didn't care to take a closer look.

He swung the butcher's knife behind him with his right hand. The moment it suddenly became longer, he felt as if he had hit something. Then he jumped to the side and left the place directly.

Behind his back, Wu Shuran raised his hand, and there was an illusory pulp bucket in his hand. It could be vaguely seen that the bucket was filled with various dyes.

And this is also a common technique in the [Tailor] sequence - dyeing.

If this color is poured on the enemy, it will have a powerful attack effect, but if it is poured on one's own body, it will have a powerful gain effect.

After Li Daoxuan learned about it, he only felt that this custom was very similar to the Dongchun official's "Pray for Rain".

Just like this moment, after Li Daoxuan avoided it.

Wu Shuran's [dyeing] technique was directly used on the hair that curled out from the gap. As soon as it came into contact, all the hair melted instantly.

Along with this, there was a roar coming from a direction that seemed to be very far away from behind the wooden plank.

The rest of the slightly intact hair also retreated instantly.

After standing firm, Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice: "Be careful, there is an adult sea woman here."

Because at the moment he just landed, he saw a figure flashing away at the corner of the corridor not far away.

The figure looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and the exposed skin was unusually white.

But what really made Li Daoxuan notice her at a glance was the hair that was almost ten feet long trailing behind her back.

Her hair was hanging on the ground, being dragged away by the sea woman.

There was a long trail of water stains on the ground where she passed.

On the other side, Tanxiao and the fifth sister also walked over, with a hint of caution on their faces.

Especially talking and laughing, but as a seventh-rate grain eater, he was still a little panicked when facing such a scene.

But fortunately, the fifth sister always protects him.

"Walk."

Li Daoxuan waved his hand, and the handle of the pig-killing knife, which was originally a short knife, instantly lengthened and turned into a long knife.

Tanxiao, who was walking in the middle, held a few talismans in each hand. Obviously, he did not believe in the vulgar skills of a seventh-rate [Suona Master] like himself.

He believed even more in the conventional skills he brought with him when he was reincarnated.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The methods of the middle and ninth-level people must be far better than those of the lower and ninth-level people.

Li Daoxuan had already felt this from Zhou Xu.

After walking through this corridor, there is a corridor crossing from left to right. The cabin No. 3 where Li Daoxuan and others went before is on the right.

But what these people are looking for now is a stone table.

Li Daoxuan didn't know where Shi Ji was imprisoned. He had just stopped and the chatter and laughter behind him had already begun to guide him.

"Go this way."

Tanxiao was pointing to...the left side.

Looking at the dark corridor, there were many boxes placed as far as the eye could see, and there were even closed wooden doors.

Li Daoxuan really wanted to be able to spread out in an area and directly have a panoramic view of all the situations.

But unfortunately, no matter how he urged it, the domain seeds in his body were indifferent.

It can't be moved at all.

"I have an idea that I want to try..."

Li Daoxuan stopped after taking only a few steps.

His words immediately made the people talking and laughing behind him feel a chill in their backs.

He felt that every thought that Brother Daoxuan had would make him more stressed.

"What...what do you think?"

The voices of talking and laughing were stuttering.

Li Daoxuan didn't pay attention and said, "Isn't this sea woman also evil?"

"So..."

"Since it is an evil spirit, it should be attracted by Yin Candle, right?"

As Li Daoxuan spoke, he took out a white candle directly from Xumi.

His behavior made Tanxiao and the fifth sister who were following him take a step back.

His expression changed drastically.

Seeing their expressions, Li Daoxuan knew that they had met by chance and joined forces for the first time.

If it were Fang Jie and the others, they would already be plotting how to act.

Hmm...if Shi Ji were here, he would probably agree.

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan immediately turned back and shouted towards this matching corridor: "Shi Ji, you idiot, why don't you come out yet!"

Li Daoxuan had no scruples and shouted loudly.

The huge sound echoed and sounded here, but there was no response.

But similarly, Hai Po Nu was not disturbed either.

"Ok?"

Li Daoxuan looked back at Tanxiao and frowned slightly. If Shi Ji was really here, he would still be so abusive when he heard Li Daoxuan's voice.

With Shi Ji's mediocre temperament, it was impossible not to reply.

But now that there is no response, there is only one possibility left... He is dead!

He died on the bottom floor of the ghost ship. He is probably still in the state of a corpse, so he cannot respond.

"Did he be killed by Hai Po Nu?"

The fifth Shuran said in surprise.

Because Shi Ji was imprisoned down here, and there is a sea woman on the bottom floor... it is indeed very possible.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I'll do the math first..."

Tan Xiao raised his hand and shook it, and at the same time took out his four bronze coins.

This time he was even more formal. He just pulled it sideways, and the four coins floated in the air. He reached out and bounced them one by one, and finally caught them.

Just for a moment, his eyes lit up.

"The solitary room is over here...but the current location of Shi Ji is not over here..." Tanxiao said and looked back in another direction.

"He's out, over there."

When Li Daoxuan heard this, he was about to take out his paper man, but then he remembered that the paper man had followed the soldiers.

He felt it for a moment, and immediately saw a scene that looked like the end of the world through the paper man's perspective.

Over the vast sea, the sky was covered with dark clouds, heavy rain poured down, and there were even lightnings one after another.

The ghost ship is traveling through the storm zone.

The sound was so loud that it was impossible to hear clearly.

Li Daoxuan could only vaguely see that the captain and first mate seemed to be arguing loudly.

'I didn't expect that the scene outside was already like this, but the boat was still so stable inside...' Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

"Pindao, let's go take a look."

While talking and laughing, he took out the treasure he got halfway...the human-faced toad.

Li Daoxuan and the others only vaguely saw the toad landing, but after it touched the ground, they could no longer see anything.

No sound either.

"Don't be anxious...don't be anxious..."

While talking and laughing, he was wary of his surroundings.

Even though Li Daoxuan didn't look back, he could feel something crawling behind him, and he poured a pot of hot oil on his back.

At the same time, he put away the black candle and lit an improved version of the direct red candle.

In an instant, the candlelight shone brightly, and there was a "rustling" sound from all around, as if a mouse was slithering away to avoid it.

Tanxiao let out a long sigh of relief, "Brother Daoxuan didn't take out this good thing earlier."

Li Daoxuan looked at the burning speed of the red candle to judge how many sea women there were around.

The moment I took it out, the red candle lost half of its size almost instantly, but after that, the burning speed returned to normal.

It means that all the sea women nearby are gone...

But suddenly, Tanxiao's expression changed drastically.

"Shi Ji died... turned into flesh."

"What? What's so surprising about his death?" Li Daoxuan was surprised by the performance of talking and laughing.

"No, the point is...he was killed by other grain eaters."

After talking and joking, he said seriously: "Besides us, there are other grain eaters on this ship..."

"Didn't it mean that only the group of people who entered before and after will be assigned to the same ghost ship? Could it be that someone else came in after us?"

Wu Yanran also felt that this was a bit unlikely.

"Just go and take a look and you will know."

Li Daoxuan blew out the red candle and strode towards the opposite direction. (End of chapter)
