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

Chapter 5 The Foundation
That night.

In a side room in the backyard of Li's house, four candles as tall as a person were lit at the four corners of the house, illuminating the room brightly.

There were three things placed in the middle of the room, a burning earthly stove, scattered pork and a pile of chopped pig skins.

The latter still seems to be squirming.

And in front of these three things, sitting... Li Peishan, who had already bathed and changed clothes.

At this moment, his expression was solemn, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be unable to stop curling up.

Everything is strange, but still understandable.

After all, he had sent his own sons out as bait just for this moment, and he was so sincere about it.

Sitting cross-legged outside the earthly world, one of the nine supreme ghosts, ghosts, and snake gods, is the ghostly costumed craftsman.

There should always be some gifts.

After all, they are the most just.

Li Peishan sat for a while before calming down. He first took out a relatively complete piece of pork and put it on the stove.

The stove immediately opened its mouth and devoured the meat.

Li Peishan was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately stood up, picked up the basket of pork and poured it into the stove. The stove's mouth opened wide and he ate everything clean without leaving any trace behind.

After doing this, Li Peishan fell to the ground and recited devoutly: "The five turbidities have descended, and the world is stained with blood. The descendants of the grain eaters ask the great 'Ghost Craftsman' to give...the foundation."

There was only the crackling sound of candle flames burning in the room.

That was when the candle was being made, and dirt got into it.

After all, not every working citizen likes to be clean... After waiting for a few breaths, the stove seemed to burp, spitting out a dark... seed.

Li Peishan suddenly raised his head. There was already a strange fragrance in the room. He quickly brought over the long box made of mahogany that he had prepared in advance, opened the lid of the coffin, and put the seed inside.

After doing this, he looked at the pile of chopped pig skins.

He followed the same pattern and waited longer this time, but fortunately, the stove finally spit out a seed.

But compared with before, this piece is obviously smaller.

Li Peishan didn't dislike it either. After all, his son was young and he should eat small food.

After spitting out the two seeds, the flames in the furnace gradually extinguished, leaving only a few sparks.

Li Peishan then carefully picked up the stove, put it into the iron box and locked it together with the two wooden boxes containing seeds.

He straightened his clothes, blew out the candles, and walked into the night.

He has no regrets and thinks that his son will thank him.

Father and son ascended to immortality together.

That is what many people in this world have dreamed of, and now it has been made by me.

"Hey, I, Li Peishan, still have some abilities, but...why does Daoxuan seem to be different?"

That night.

There seemed to be whispers in Liu Tiejiang's house.

"The son who kills pigs and the father who sells meat will eventually have a god in Puliu Town."

……

"Boiled!"

Li Daoxuan suddenly sat up from the bed, beads of sweat the size of peas appeared on his forehead, and his face was pale.

The candlelight in the room was dancing, and he realized that it was already late at night.

He looked around and found that he was sleeping in the wing.

I didn't just get married... Li Daoxuan thought about what happened during the day, and his stomach was about to churn again, but he suppressed it.

He opened the quilt and looked at his legs, only to find that the bloody calf that had been eaten by the Painted Skin Ghost was almost fully recovered at this moment.

So, this is the benefit of strong Qi and blood?
"anyone there?"

Li Daoxuan tried to shout and looked at the panel.

[Name: Li Daoxuan] [Sequence: Pig Butcher]

[Vulgar weapon: pig-killing knife (common weapon·not popular)]

[Vigor and blood: 6.3]

[Combat Strength: 32]

[Survival points: 7 (white)]

Judging from the panel, I should have no problems now. If this is the case, does it mean that I can really deal with the lowest level of the five turbid evil spirits?

Li Daoxuan thought about what happened during the day, but the more he thought about it, a more terrifying answer was waiting for him.

"The shopkeeper of the meat shop and blood shop."

That's how the panel has always described Li Peishan.

The panel called Bai Jiao the ghost bride and Liu Kai the ghost decorator. Now it seems that they are both correct, that is their true identity.

This forced Li Daoxuan to doubt Li Peishan.

Once he had doubts, Li Daoxuan felt that there was really something wrong with Li Peishan's behavior, starting from Bai Jiao's entrance, including going to see Liu Tiejiang, and his behavior at the ancestral hall.

If Li Peishan's description is correct, what about the descriptions of other people in the town?

Am I really living in a town full of evil spirits?Actually, am I the only living person in this town?
Li Daoxuan didn't have time to think so much.

Because...the door is open.

The person who walked in was Li Peishan, followed by a maid carrying various dishes in her hands.

[The shopkeeper of the meat shop and blood shop has taken away your spoils. He looks like he is here to apologize, but if the apology is effective, there will be no grain eater in the world. Pig butcher, stab him to death!Your survival points +2 (white). 】

Li Daoxuan said nothing and looked at the maid again.

[The woman in the mirror brings you a dish, which looks normal. Your survival points are +1 (white). 】

Everything is exactly as usual.

But after experiencing these things, Li Daoxuan felt that everything was different.

The maid placed food in front of the bed, and Li Peishan asked her to get down.

He came to the bed and sat down. Although his face was a little tired, his eyes were full of joy and pride.

The first thing he said was, "Son, you will thank your father for me."

Li Daoxuan looked at him calmly, "What is the meat shop and blood shop?"

"What? How do you know?"

Li Peishan, who had just sat down, stood up suddenly, his eyes were shocked, but he quickly reacted, "Have you read the books left by your grandfather? But those books were not all locked up by me, where did you get them? key?"

Li Daoxuan had no expression on his face and answered the question incorrectly.

"So, our family has the same heritage as Liu Tiejiang's family?"

Seeing that his son seemed unwilling to hear him share his joy, Li Peishan couldn't help frowning and asked:
"You've read those books and you still don't know?"

After what happened today, Li Daoxuan didn't dare to believe this cheap dad anymore. He thought about it for a while and directly chose to open the door in person.

The window paper between father and son was torn apart.

"You should have known that Bai Jiao is a painted ghost for a long time, right? Did you deliberately catch Liu Kai and let him in?"

Li Peishan's face turned ugly and he scolded: "What do you mean by this? Are you doubting your father and me?"

"Isn't this a fact? There is no need to doubt it."

Li Daoxuan sneered.

That was the truth, and Li Peishan couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.

He looked at his son's cold eyes and finally sighed, "Daoxuan, if you knew why dad did all this, you wouldn't blame me."

Thoughts flashed through Li Daoxuan's mind one after another.

"For what? For the foundation?"
