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

Chapter 8 Incomplete Hope Qi

"Oh? Something weird?"

Li Daoxuan asked while opening the letter in his hand.

"I heard from Lao Huangtou, who was buying food from the kitchen, that more than a dozen people died in our town in one day yesterday, and the deaths were... very strange."

When the maid said this, she shrank her head, her eyes full of fear.

"Oh?"

Li Daoxuan stopped what he was doing and looked at her, "Tell me."

"Ah."

The maid gritted her teeth and nodded slightly, "It seems to say that everyone who dies begins to decay in a very short period of time. An hour after death is the same as someone who has been dead for a few days, and...and... When every dead person is found, there is a bowl of rice sitting next to them."

"Put a bowl of rice?"

When Li Daoxuan heard this, he was already sure in his heart that this was probably caused by the evil spirits of the Five Turbidities. In the chaotic world of the Five Turbidities, the dusty world is polluted, and all kinds of evil spirits and monsters will come out.

"Well, at first they said it was someone who killed him, but when more people died like this, everyone said it was... it was..."

"They say it's a ghost, right?"

"exactly."

The maid nodded quickly, almost crying from fear.

"There hasn't been such a dead person in our house, right?"

"No, not yet."

"Okay, you go down first. If such a dead person appears in our house, remember to tell me in time."

Once such a dead person appears in the mansion, it means that the evil spirit may already be in Li's mansion.

After the maid left, Li Daoxuan looked at the letter.

The handwriting is familiar, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by Li Peishan.

"Son, when you read this letter, my father and I are already on the way to the meat shop and blood shop, and your mother and I will also take it with me, so you don't have to worry.

As for why I didn’t take you with me, it’s not because of anything else, it’s because dad can’t worry about you.

The ghost market is full of grain eaters. They are not as easy to talk to as ordinary people. Moreover, in the ghost market, we have no foundation and everything has to start over.

So dad goes to explore the road first, and then comes back to pick you up after dad settles down.

You don’t have to come looking for it.

The house will be left to you. When the five turbidities come, there is actually nothing left in the house. The maid and servant may not be able to pay their dues next month. See if you can think of a way.

If there is no other way, just dismiss them.

Live well and wait until dad comes back to pick you up! "

Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows after reading the letter, so Li Peishan left in such a hurry at that time, was it because he was on his way?

Are you afraid of being discovered by yourself and want to keep up?

As for the reason for not bringing him, Li Daoxuan naturally would not believe the lies in his letter.

It's not that he didn't know his methods. The reason why he ran so fast was probably because he was afraid that if he followed him, he would steal his inheritance.

But it's better for him to leave, so as not to have someone behind him who is neither an enemy nor a friend. While dealing with evil spirits, he also has to worry about him firing a black gun.

After all, a ruthless man who could push his biological son out as bait just so that he could embark on the path of a grain eater.

Li Daoxuan had reason to doubt everything about him.

"I wonder if he took away those ancient books left by his ancestors."

Li Daoxuan thought about it and walked all the way to the study. He first lit a candle and burned the letter, and then groped around on the bookshelf for a while. He found the hidden compartment and pressed it lightly.

After a slight sound, the bookshelf on the first floor opened, and there were only...two pieces of white paper inside.

Ok?
Li Daoxuan took it out and saw that one of the white papers was another letter left by Li Peishan. “Son, you must not be a rat, right? You’ve actually been discovered here.

Don't worry, dad is not scolding you. You can find this place, which means that you should indeed follow the path of a grain eater.

This is just a small test from dad.

What is recorded on another piece of paper in the secret grid is a common technique, which is the technique of looking at Qi.

What you got from Liu Kai can be considered as some compensation to our family. You should study it carefully and try to learn it within half a year.

There's only so much dad can help you with. "

After reading this letter, Li Daoxuan just wanted to scold his mother.

"This Li Peishan really doesn't do anything for human affairs. I am his biological son, so he doesn't know how to treat me better?"

"It's obviously a trophy obtained from Liu Kai, but it's still hidden so deep. If I can't find it, doesn't it mean that it's not going to be left to me?"

"Damn it! Blanch it!"

After venting, Li Daoxuan also calmed down... He seemed to be afraid that I would improve my strength, but he also had a tangled mentality of hoping that I would become stronger.

Li Daoxuan couldn't figure out what this cheap dad was thinking, so he looked at another blank piece of paper.

[You found an incomplete folk art from a piece of handwritten paper. You were very happy. After studying it carefully, you found that what was recorded on it turned out to be the practice method of an ancient folk art "Consciousness Qi". Your survival Points +10 (white). 】

[Although the contents on this handwritten paper are not complete, you have still mastered some of the methods of practicing common arts through the incomplete contents. 】

[You have learned the incomplete common art: Awareness of Qi (incomplete)]

[Consciousness Qi (disabled): The miasma of the world is charming to the eyes. If you half-close your eyes and become still, it seems like you are looking but not seeing. If you focus your eyes and reach your heart, you can break through the miasma of the world.But remember, awareness is a rebellion against the rules of the world and should not be used too much. 】

A series of text popped up on the panel. Before Li Daoxuan could finish reading it, a method of using a common technique appeared in his mind.

"This……"

"This panel actually has a one-click learning function?"

Judging from the description on the panel, using this common technique has side effects.

Li Daoxuan looked at the extra memories in his mind. Just when he was about to find someone to try, there were footsteps outside the door.

He closed the secret compartment, burned the paper, and then the figure appeared at the door.

The person who came was the steward of the Li Mansion, with the same surname as Li.

Before the other party could speak, a flash of white flashed in Li Daoxuan's eyes. In the haze, he saw a line of blood-red smoke hovering above Manager Li's head.

According to the description of "Knowing Qi", does this mean that Manager Li has suffered a bloody disaster recently?
Manager Li bent down slightly and said:

"Sir, the mayor is here."

"The mayor is here?"

Li Daoxuan put away his distracting thoughts and remembered what Li Peishan said that the mayor's family was also inherited by grain eaters.

Since he is here now, it is probably because of the troubled times of the five turbidities.

"Walk."

Li Daoxuan walked towards the main hall where guests were waiting, but as soon as he reached the door, he felt the strong smell of death filling the air.

He couldn't help but slow down... The mayor Huang Shiyuan was indeed promoted to a grain eater.

If one could judge the opponent's strength by the intensity of this dead aura, then his strength would probably be much higher than Li Peishan's.

As for Li Daoxuan himself...he couldn't figure it out, because the smell of death on him was very weak, but he should be stronger than Li Peishan.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a brocade gown sitting on the main seat with a golden sword.

[The five turbidities are coming, and a grain eater comes to your home. He seems to be contaminated with evil breath. Your survival points +5 (white). 】
