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

Chapter 47: The failed black candlestick [seeking for further reading]

"I have a black candle. If you are willing to reimburse me, I will try to light it. If it doesn't work, just give up."

This is Li Daoxuan's choice.

Just as Zhu Jinglun was about to agree, Fang Jie on the side poured cold water on him.

"The Hanged Ghost has indeed entered the Smiley Face Inn, but are you sure that after lighting the Yin Candle, it will be the only ghost that comes out?"

"This……"

Zhu Jinglun was also confused. He looked at Li Daoxuan.

The latter also nodded, which meant this.

The huge Smiley Face Inn can store a Class B calamity like the Hanged Ghost, but there's no guarantee that there might be something else inside.

But if you don’t try this, it won’t be solved.

Wait until the ancestor comes out...

Zhu Jinglun looked at Li Daoxuan and said directly: "Daoxuan, are you afraid that you still have the red candle? If another ghost comes out later, you will light the red candle and I will reimburse you for all expenses."

"Reimbursement is one thing. It's not easy to meet the degenerate ghost decorator."

In short, Li Daoxuan didn't want to waste the red candle in a place like this.

After all, it is a real life-saving thing. As long as it is lit, no one dares to get close even if it is dirty.

"Add money!"

"As long as the red candle is used, it will be ten pieces of incense. If it is burned out, it will be fifteen pieces of incense."

Zhu Jinglun gritted his teeth and said, if it really comes to the point of using the red candle, then it will probably be a matter of life and death. At that time, it will be good if you can save your life, let alone the incense and incense.

"Row."

Li Daoxuan is not worried that Zhu Jinglun will not admit his fault.

Since he said so, even if he doesn't admit it, Li Daoxuan can still make him pay.

"Let's go, stay away."

After saying that, the three of them arrived at the middle of Huanghu Street. In this way, even if a large number of ghosts poured out of the Smiley Face Inn, they would still have a chance to react.

Li Daoxuan took out a white candle from the shroud ghost. As soon as he took it out, the surrounding area seemed to become colder.

"One last time, are you sure?"

"confirm."

Zhu Jinglun gritted his teeth and said.

For him, he had no regrets about taking this medicine.

After repeated confirmations, Li Daoxuan didn't ask any more questions. He placed the Yin candle firmly on the ground, then rubbed it with flint and ignited it.

The faint blue fire light lit up, and suddenly the surrounding sunlight seemed to recede.

The flames were beating, and Li Daoxuan took a step back and looked up at the Smiley Face Inn at the end of the street.

There is no wind, but the smiling head is still shaking.

The three-story-high sculpture is also smiling, as if it has thought of something happy.

Both of them have not changed at all.

The scene that Li Daoxuan imagined of a large number of ghosts rushing out did not appear. Everything seemed like...the Yin Candle had not been lit.

"Do you still have the incense I just gave you? Try lighting it."

Li Daoxuan's face was not relaxed at all, but became more and more serious.

"Have."

Fang Jie immediately took out the road-finding incense from the shroud ghost on his waist and lit it.

The incense burns brighter and the smoke curls up.

In the blink of an eye, after Wen Luxiang got used to it, the smoke drifted straight ahead without any branching.

There is a ghost, still inside the Smiley Face Inn.

But outside the Smiling Face Inn, there were no other ghosts.

Even the Hanged Ghost who just entered didn't come out again.

"okay."

Li Daoxuan blew out the Yin Candle, put it away and put it inside the Shroud Ghost. Otherwise, even if it was not lit, this thing would be as bright as a lantern at night in the eyes of the ghost.

"Either this inn can block Yin Zhu's breath, or the ghost can't come out casually after entering. But as of now... we can only know the answer by going inside the inn."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Jinglun.

A trace of confusion flashed in the latter's eyes, but he finally made up his mind, "Forget it, it's too dangerous to go in." "Yeah."

Li Dao

He even practiced some folk skills by the way.

But as soon as he turned around and saw the scene in front of him, he stopped. The other two were already there.

Because the Smiling Face Inn, which was still at the end of the street, suddenly appeared behind them!

Li Daoxuan reached for the knife and turned around again.

The Smiling Face Inn is still in front of me.

The three of them all realized something was wrong and went back to back, so... the Smiley Face Inn appeared in all directions, surrounding them.

"Brother Li, what's going on?"

Fang Jie had already taken out a rusty copper nail, a coffin nail, from his arms. At this moment, he didn't dare to hold on to it anymore.

"Don't worry."

[You lit the Yin Candle and alerted the shopkeeper of the Smiling Face Inn. It woke up from its nap and cast a gaze on you. Your survival points are +12 (green). 】

The panel gave information, but not much. There was a shopkeeper in the inn, and he was staring at him now.

While Li Daoxuan was hesitating, behind the door of the inn in front of him.

There was a strange noise, not only that, but also from the rest of the inn. It was like... a mirror.

Just when Li Daoxuan was about to put on the fragment of glasses that had been passed down from the middle-class world, the text on the panel appeared.

[Ignorant pig butchers sometimes see too clearly, which may not be a good thing. 】

The words scared Li Daoxuan to stop his movements again.

The noise was getting closer.

people, appeared.

An old man sitting in a wooden wheelchair appeared. He was wearing old cloth clothes, which should have been blue, but were now scrubbed gray.

His eyes were blurred, as if he were blind.

Is he the innkeeper?

As soon as Li Daoxuan's thoughts came up, the old man spoke.

"My master is here to invite you."

As soon as he spoke, the old people surrounding him all spoke up, and the scene was extremely strange.

Fang Jie had already grasped the nail in the coffin, and Zhu Jinglun asked tentatively: "May I ask who you are?"

"I'm just the master's old servant, and the master is the innkeeper." The old man could still talk.

Fang Jie took the opportunity to say: "Brother Li, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave... Lao Zhu, why don't you ask us what will happen if we don't accept the invitation?"

"Ha ha."

Zhu Jinglun sneered back at him.

Li Daoxuan asked: "Thank you for your kindness, master. It's just that we are a little tired and want to rest here for a while before going. How about it?"

Fang Jie knew what Li Daoxuan meant as soon as he heard it, nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, yes, we just... we ran for a long time to get here, let's take a rest, how about it?"

The old man frowned.

Just as Li Daoxuan had placed his last [goods pawn] on top of the old man's head... No, it couldn't be selected at all. Is this an illusion?
Li Daoxuan wanted to use his consciousness more and more to see what was happening in front of him.

"Okay, just remember not to keep the owner waiting for too long, otherwise he will be very angry."

After the old man finished speaking, he turned the wheelchair and returned to the Smiley Face Inn with a "crunching" sound.

As his figure disappeared, most of the phantoms of the inn that had been surrounding the circle also disappeared, leaving only the two in front and back, blocking their direction.

"You two, what should we do?"

Zhu Jinglun's face was extremely ugly.

"You can't escape by running. That's what the other party said. If you run again, I'm afraid things will be more serious."

Li Daoxuan nodded and sat down.

“Whether it’s going in or running, we need to recover first.”
