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

When Li Daoxuan opened his eyes again and saw the situation in front of him clearly, it was no longer the closed room before, but turned into a... ruined temple.

Yes, it is a ruined temple.

He glanced around and realized that the temple was almost as dilapidated as the mountain temple he had seen in his dream at the Ghost Inn.

There are weeds all over the place, the walls are dilapidated, and the roof is leaky.

Even at the moment he came over, the sound of birds flying from the beams could be heard.

It's just that... I didn't see a few other people. This was made clear last night by the chatters and dancers.

From the beginning of this second level, everyone is fighting alone and acting alone.

When we got to the back, it seemed like we could meet up, but there were different opinions, and everyone in each place had different opinions.

It’s not unified, so we’ll have to wait and see.

At this moment, text appeared again on the pop-up panel.

[The greedy pig killer has come to the second floor of the Evil Suppression Tower. Your survival points are +10 (blue). 】

Before Li Daoxuan could add more words, the second line of text appeared on the panel.

[You have become a worshiper of grain eaters at the Grain Food Temple in Hexi Village. While enjoying the offerings from Hexi Village, you must also protect their safety. Remember not to allow too many deaths among the people within your jurisdiction. 】

So, this second level is actually a business world?
He must serve as an offering to the people and drive away evil spirits for the people, and they must not suffer too many casualties.

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Daoxuan seemed to feel something and turned around suddenly.

I saw that the statue on the shrine... actually looked exactly like him.

What is enshrined here is actually him!

Statues for worship...Li Daoxuan suddenly thought of something and took out a small wooden block from Sumeru.

To be precise, it is a small sculpture.

A sculpture of Forde with his face carved on it.

After he didn't meet any ruthless people, he kept the sculpture hidden on his body. Except for the occasional visit, he never let it appear in the world.

Now that I have this opportunity...this may be an opportunity.

Another text pops up on the panel.

[The greedy pig butcher can actually realize this is an opportunity. It is really rare. Your survival points are +6 (blue). 】

[The space confined by the Evil Suppressing Tower is a place where rules are circumvented. Even the Nine Supreme Beings have a hard time getting involved... Maybe it was relegated to the Lower Ninth Level for this reason. Who knows?
All in all, the people here are still pure and have not been baptized by faith. Their offerings are a great supplement to you.

But if you want to enjoy this feast, you must need a medium.

It just so happens that the Fude sculpture in your hand is a medium that is unique to you! 】

The panel gave out a lot of information this time, making Li Daoxuan have to think carefully.

The first thing that can be concluded is that this evil-suppressing tower is very advanced, and it can even circumvent the nine supreme rules... I want to get it, I want to be the master of the evil-suppressing tower!
Well, the truth is revealed, he is indeed a greedy butcher.

Secondly, it means that the people in the Evil Suppressing Tower have not yet given their faith, and their first time is still there.

So whoever can get their first faith will gain great benefits.

If you want to successfully obtain faith, you need a medium, a medium that can connect faith and ontology.

Most grain eaters will not have this kind of medium, because it is strictly controlled by the Nine Supreme Beings.

But coincidentally, I have one!
And I got it from the God of Fortune from the Ninth University to the High School. Can it be said that I had such a coincidence and received the blessing of Fortune?
The more faith you gain, the more merit you will gain, and you will have more faith in due course.

Profits are compounding and profits are compounding... Then can I also become a god of merit in the future?
No.

I want to become the person above the God of Merit—the great earthly king!

For a moment, Li Daoxuan's mind was agitated, as if he had dreamed of the moment when he became the king of the earthly palace.

[The greedy butcher is starting to dream again... What's rare is that you finally confirmed your goal again, but it's of no use. 】

The cold water on the panel made Li Daoxuan wake up, but what really woke him up was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

He subconsciously wanted to open up the field, but... he actually opened it up!
At this second level, the realm is finally no longer allowed.

Li Daoxuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

With the domain around, his sense of security increased greatly, and in just a moment, he could clearly sense who was coming outside the door.

Not a ghost, but a human being.

A cunning and sneaky villager was enveloped by Li Daoxuan's domain as soon as he walked to the entrance of the Shigu Temple.

Greed, lust and nightmares all worked on him at the same time.

With no females around, he greedily entered...sleep state.

Knowing that Li Daoxuan came out, he gently gave him a big dick, and then woke him up. He didn't dare to use force. If Li Daoxuan used force... he would see his brains.

"You, are you the new Grain Eater?"

After Du Zhuang came to his senses, he quickly covered his face and knelt down to worship.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Li Daoxuan has a feeling of pretending to be a ghost. How can I put it, it's quite strange.

Du Zhuang immediately kowtowed, "Lord Grain Eater, please save our Hexi Village. Our village... has a jealous ghost coming!"

"I know."

"Ah? As expected of a grain eater, you can calculate all this." Du Zhuang immediately flattered him.

Li Daoxuan said: "Otherwise, do you have anything else to do with me?"

"Uh……"

Du Zhuang was speechless. He didn't expect Li Daoxuan to say that, so he had to use laughter to cover up his embarrassment.

Li Daoxuan pointed to the sky again and asked solemnly: "Did you go out and read the almanac today?"

"We took a look." Du Zhuang nodded repeatedly and said, "We may forget to eat and sleep, but we will never forget to read the almanac."

"Then since you saw it, you still don't know what day today is?"

"I know... I know." Only then did Du Zhuang react, with a look of panic on his face.

Unlucky day.

Everything is inappropriate.

In other words, even traveling is out of the question!

In other words, Du Zhuang came to look for Li Daoxuan on this trip. Even if it was a trip, if he violated a taboo, he would attract taboos!

Du Zhuang's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. He quickly said: "Master Grain Eater, I, I am the village leader of Hexi Village. I came here for the safety of the villagers. You, you have to save me." ah!"

He was talking, but Li Daoxuan stopped listening.

Because as early as the moment the villager came over, he did feel a strange aura following him.

This villager's taboo behavior has attracted jealous ghosts.

"You go into my temple first, and I will protect you." Li Daoxuan didn't even look back, and glanced at the path that the villager had passed in front of him.

There is no pollution in the eyes of a dead person.

In other words, this dead man can't see the evil spirit?

Similarly, Li Daoxuan used [Consciousness Qi] again, but the answer he got was the same, there was no blood and blood.

[Consciousness of Qi] Conventional art also means that ghosts cannot be seen.

This was a bit difficult to deal with. When it failed one after another, Li Daoxuan had no choice but to use the last resort.

field!

The dark mist surged out from his body, covering several feet of the surrounding area in just an instant.

It covers the origin of the villagers and also covers the entire Temple of the Grain Eaters.

Only this time, he did not pollute the villager, but made him feel and perceive the whole process. After all, no matter how good the show is, it must be appreciated by the audience.

"Ok?"

While thinking about it, Li Daoxuan felt doubtful again.

Because even though he had used his domain, he still didn't notice the presence of the taboo ghost. The villagers had a clear path to their origin.

Including the Shigu Temple, there was no movement at all.

This is unreasonable, this is very unreasonable.

Li Daoxuan frowned slightly. Could it be that the jealous ghost did not enter his domain?
But this shouldn't be the case. Without being close to a certain distance, it would have been impossible for Li Daoxuan to feel that gaze just now.

In this case, there is only one possibility left.

No matter it is the dead eye, [consciousness energy], or the realm, one cannot intuitively see the existence of the jealous ghost!
"That broomstick on the back wall of your Shigu Temple is that ghost."

A slightly unfamiliar voice sounded in Li Daoxuan's ears, and he was stunned for a moment before he remembered.

There is a real ghost living in his domain!
There is also a Class A evil spirit with the same domain, the headless bride, Zhou Yaya.

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Daoxuan immediately noticed the broom stick. He also took a step forward and teleported directly within the field, arriving next to the broom stick.

The headless bride Zhou Mengjiao, dressed in blood, also appeared, one person and one ghost, one behind the other, surrounding the broomstick.

The jealous ghost immediately sensed something was wrong. It wanted to run away... could it run away?

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand directly, and the moment the broom stick moved, it was already in his hand.

But the next moment, Li Daoxuan felt a pain in his hand holding the broom stick.

The pain was so severe that even he couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to let go.

But as soon as he let go, Ji Gui wanted to run away again... It was impossible to run away, especially when he was still in Li Daoxuan's territory.

Direct field detention.

No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't move at all.

Li Daoxuan also raised his hand, and saw a row of dense wounds on the palm of his right hand that looked like needle holes.

[Personalized Evil Suppression Tower, the ignorant pig butcher actually uses the same method to deal with evil spirits to deal with jealous ghosts. Sooner or later, the boat will capsize. Your survival point +1 (blue). 】【Desire leads to evil spirits, and violating taboos creates jealous ghosts. The two may seem similar, but they are not. Don't be careless. 】

After the panel looked weird, it also gave a hint, which was considered comforting.

Fortunately, the survival points just given are still there, and with the current blue survival point... Li Daoxuan directly chose to add points.

Qi and blood surged and boiled, filling him with strength. At the same time, the wounds on his hands healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But just when he wanted to stop, he found that a few drops of white viscous liquid were forced out of the wound.

"poisonous!"

He threw the liquid on the ground with his backhand. Suddenly, the patches of weeds on the ground fell over and then rotted.

Not only is it poisonous, it’s also highly toxic!
It seems that you really have to be careful when dealing with the jealous ghost.

Li Daoxuan then looked at the imprisoned taboo in front of him. From the outside, it looked like a broom stick, but when it struggled, you could see that it was covered in mouths.

From this point of view, the way it bit its own hand just now makes sense.

"Do you know about Jigui?"

Li Daoxuan asked.

Zhou Yaya shook... She had no head, so she could only shake her body, "I've never seen it before."

"Try to see if you can make it into materials."

As Li Daoxuan spoke, he first moved the villager over. The black fog in front of his eyes dissipated, and he only saw the scene in front of him.

He was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Ghost... be afraid of ghost!"

"Master Grain Eater, please kill it quickly. This is a taboo ghost!"

Li Daoxuan didn't speak, but he answered him directly with actions.

Taking action is a big move.

The exclusive customary technique used by fifth-rate grain eaters to improve their hands - [Wearing a Weighing Weight]!
The huge weight appeared out of thin air and hit it, and it followed the broom stick, causing it to directly bear all the damage.

Especially when in custody, it is impossible to escape.

It was originally a long stick, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a puddle... not meat paste, but a puddle of something unknown.

But in the next moment, a yellow brilliance flashed, and the jealous ghost turned into a yellow crystal.

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand and grasped it, and the crystal fell into his palm. It was cold in his hand and he felt nothing else.

[Ghost crystal: a thing that is fatally attractive to evil spirits, and is also extremely helpful to them... In other words, this is something that can be used as nourishment for evil spirits. 】

"Can... can you give me this?"

This was the first time Zhou Yaya asked for something, and it also proved that the panel was not lying.

This thing is indeed very attractive to their evil spirits.

"It's okay to give it to you, I just have a question..."

"What questions?"

"Why should I give it to you? Is it just because you said it that I should give it to you?"

Li Daoxuan's question caused the headless bride to fall into silence. After a while, she said: "I can listen to you."

"A word from Zhou Yaya?"

"no sooner said than done!"

There was a slight fluctuation in the tone and voice of these words, and finally there was a hint of girlish excitement.

Li Daoxuan was satisfied, and he also wanted to see how this thing would feel after being absorbed by the evil spirits.

The crystal fell into Zhou Yaya's hands and disappeared in an instant.

Just when Li Daoxuan was thinking about asking, she actually let out a...moan?
It was just like the sound that the dancer had been making that night, which made people think and reverie.

After a while, she calmed down, and her body even trembled a little. She couldn't help but said: "Shall we go kill the evil ghost?!"

"Going right now."

"No, I want to know what effect this thing has on you?"

"Comfortable..." the headless female ghost said.

"How comfortable is it?"

"It's more comfortable than in my dreams. In short, it's very comfortable. I've never experienced this feeling in my life."

When the headless female ghost said this, her voice changed slightly.

Very urgent.

Obviously, this thing is really addictive to her.

"What about your strength? Has it changed?"

These words calmed her down a little, but not much. After just a moment, she replied: "Yes, but compared to strength, I...I want that more."

This was also the first time Li Daoxuan saw her talk so much and have so many emotions.

"Row."

Li Daoxuan agreed and immediately closed the field.

"You go back first. I will call you when necessary."

"it is good."

As long as she agrees to take her to kill Jigui, she will agree to anything.

The realm disappeared and light returned to the surroundings. For Du Zhuang, everything that had just happened was nothing short of a miracle.

A person who can control darkness and day, and can also make him come out of the temple instantly... If this is not a god, what is it?
Seeing that he was about to bow before bowing his head again, Li Daoxuan quickly helped him up and said seriously: "Don't pray here, go in and pray."

Because at the moment when he just used the field, Li Daoxuan had already sent the sculpture of merit into the interior of the statue.

At that time, villagers will pay homage to the statue and naturally also pay homage to his sculpture of merit.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Lord Grain Eater."

Du Zhuang quickly stood up straight and squeezed in through the gap in the wall.

Seeing this scene, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. It seemed that after a while, it would be necessary for these villagers to rebuild his temple.

Otherwise, what kind of dignity would it have if it was always so dilapidated?
Before Li Daoxuan could return to the temple, the villager had already knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

Text popped up on the panel immediately.

[You have obtained your first believer, your merit has increased, and your survival points +10 (blue). 】

The panel is generous, and Li Daoxuan is not stingy, he just adds all the energy and blood.

While feeling the energy and blood in his body filling up, he also thought that it would be great if his merit could be transformed into energy.

I can't quantify it... I can't feel it.

No, it would also be quantified to another level, such as going out every day to collect merit.

While dreaming about a better life, Li Daoxuan also returned to the temple.

"Tell me what's going on."

"okay."

The villager nodded, organized his speech, and then said: "The younger one is called Duzhuang, and he is the village leader of Hexi Village. I got up early this morning. After reading the almanac and knowing that today was an unlucky day, I I’m not going anywhere, I’m going to have a good sleep at home.”

"About an hour later, I suddenly heard the Zhu family next door calling me in the yard... I was thinking that I couldn't go out, so I asked him what was going on, and he said that there was a ghost in our village, and the ghost had a family in Xiong. "

"This jealous ghost is a big deal. I was so anxious that I came to see you, Lord Grain Eater, but I never thought that I would also attract a jealous ghost."

Du Zhuang lowered his head.

"So, you don't know what happened to the jealous ghost?" Li Daoxuan frowned. Now it seems that Muramasa is also an unreliable person.

"This...I don't dare to look at it."

"Are there any rules for avoiding ghosts? Will you kill everyone in your village in just a short time?"

This is what Li Daoxuan is more worried about.

Du Zhuang quickly replied: "That's not the case. The jealous ghost has its own rules. For example, today, it will only be active in Xiong Youcheng's family. Even...even if everyone in their family is killed, the jealous ghost will not Will run around."

"You have to wait until after twelve o'clock in the evening. Tomorrow, the jealous ghost will lose its restraint and move around in the village."

"Then there's no rush."

Li Daoxuan looked up at the almanac hanging in the sky.

It's not that he is cold-blooded, but that he is a fierce person... He has taboos on everything he does. As a result, Li Daoxuan will attract taboos whenever he goes out. When the time comes to deal with taboos in the village, he will definitely continue to offend taboos.

Although Li Daoxuan has plans to challenge the strength of the jealous ghosts he has attracted, it is definitely not now.

If an evil day attracts evil spirits, you are indeed seeking death!

Fortunately, Du Zhuang also understood this and nodded without forcing it.

Time passed like this little by little. Seeing that he was idle, Li Daoxuan asked him to clean up the temple first.

For example, pull out those weeds first and wipe away the dust first.

Until late at night and early in the morning.

The almanac in the sky suddenly turned its page, and the Jiayin Day had passed.

Today is...Yimao Day!

【Jiachen year, Bingyin month, Yimao day. 】
