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

"Help? What help?"

Li Daoxuan and Zhou Yaya looked at each other, becoming more and more confused. It was just that this person knew his identity, but he actually wanted to help.

Mr. Qi said with a smile: "No hurry, no rush, if you two are willing, you can come to me tomorrow morning and we will discuss it in detail face to face."

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay."

He also wanted to see who this person was, why he knew he was an outsider, and then also wanted to see what he wanted to do...

The two left quickly.

When they returned home, the two families looked at the things in their hands, and naturally they felt distressed and said that they were a waste of money.

After Li's mother learned that Zhou Yaya had paid for these things, she secretly pinched Li Daoxuan several times.

She knew that it must have been her son's idea to buy these.

After all, Li Daoxuan came to ask her a while ago.

After pinching Li Daoxuan, she still took out more than ten copper coins from home and stuffed them into Li Daoxuan.

There was no reason for these two families to spend Zhou Yaya's money.

His Li family is not that stingy.

Li Daoxuan was rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so he didn't care about it. He took the money, cooked some rice cereal with a smile, and once again posted the door god and blessing characters on his house.

Among them, I had some arguments with Father Li about whether the word "福" should be pasted upright or backwards.

After pasting the door god and the words "Fu", Li Daoxuan took the time to look at the Tower Ascension Order.

[Spring Festival: 5 completed, 4 unfinished. 】

Very good, it means that the two things you just did are useful.

As long as it’s useful, it’s not in vain!

Finally, more was completed than unfinished, and Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Because I don’t have much strength now, and I don’t know what the consequences will be if I don’t complete the custom, so...it’s better not to challenge the unknown as much as possible.

Well... at least we have to celebrate the Spring Festival first, find out the situation in this town, and then find a weapon that we can use.

After he finished all this, it was time for dinner at home.

The Li family tried their best to invite Zhou Yaya to stay with them, but she politely refused.

When the Li family's food was served, Li Daoxuan knew why his family could open a restaurant in this town, and the business was pretty good.

Because whether it is Father Li or Mother Li, their cooking skills are second to none.

Li Daoxuan couldn't remember when he had such delicious food. Maybe it was when he was in Wu City?
But there were so many things on my mind at the time that I didn’t have time to dwell on them.

Unlike now, if you act within the framework of reasonable rules, you will be safe and feel comfortable.

Li's father and mother, who originally wanted to talk about him, were reluctant to do so after seeing him devouring food.

Just keep adding vegetables to make him eat more.

So after lunch, eight or nine bowls of food basically went into Li Daoxuan's stomach. He stretched out after eating perfectly, which was a rare enjoyment.

"Dad, I want to ask you something." Li Daoxuan came to Li's father, who was smoking a cigarette, and asked.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Father Li glanced at him and said, "Let's talk about it first. If you want money, I won't give it to you even if you want your father's life."

Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched, but he still asked: "I want to ask about Mr. Qi... What does he do?"

"What did you call him?"

"Mr. Qi."

"Then what do you think he does? He teaches."

Li Daoxuan glanced at him speechlessly. If it weren't for the fact that he was his father in this third world, he would have really wanted to give him a big mouth.

You don’t have to speak if you don’t know how to speak. How can you be so teasing? !

Seeing his son's expression, Father Li realized that he might have something serious, so he knocked the pipe clean on the sole of his shoe and blew on the cigarette holder.

"Come on, let's come in and talk."

Li Daoxuan followed, and the father and son walked around the room full of tables and chairs to the backyard and into the kitchen. Father Li said:

"Mr. Qi in this town... does have some background. If you ask others, they may not know, but you are right to ask me."

Li Daoxuan gave him a thumbs up, "High, really high!"

"It's still in daddy's interest."

Father Li grinned, waved his hands modestly, and continued talking about business, "Mr. Qi came to our town probably more than 20 years ago. I was about your age at that time."

"You know it yourself. At your age, you have a lot of energy, especially at night."

"One night, your Uncle Huang, Uncle Zhou and the others and I went to the mountains to place traps. When we came back, we bumped into Mr. Qi."

"Oh? What is he going to do?"

Li Daoxuan asked cooperatively.

Father Li smiled meaningfully, "You would never expect it."

"Ok?"

"When we met him, he was wearing a black warrior robe covered with mud, a waterproof oil bag slung across his back, and a shovel and chisel in his hand."

"What's going on?"

Li Daoxuan knew that what Li's father wanted to say was Mr. Qi's identity, but judging from his current description, Li Daoxuan really didn't know what other identities Mr. Qi had.

Li Daoxuan's ignorance further satisfied Li's father's desire for expression.

"Are you stupid? You don't know this yet? This Mr. Qi turned out to be a peasant!"

"At least he must have been a country man when he was young."

"what?"

Li Daoxuan understood now, but he was still a little stunned and unbelievable.

No way, this jump is just too big.

Mr. Qi, who looks serious on the surface and even perfectly fits Li Daoxuan's impression of a scholar and Confucian scholar, is actually a tomb robber behind his back? !
Who could have imagined this character and this contrast?
"Why, you can't think of it."

Father Li chuckled.

"This is really unexpected." Li Daoxuan shook his head honestly.

"Actually, it's not difficult to understand. Master, a native master can also be considered a master."

"Mr. Qi is a master no matter day or night."

Father Li also made a small joke.

Li Daoxuan tasted it and then said: "He said he wanted to ask Yaya and I to do a favor and let me go to his place tomorrow. I asked him at the time but he didn't say anything, so I wanted to ask you."

"Help?" Father Li was also a little surprised and thought for a moment, "You can go and have a look tomorrow. If he wants you to recognize him, step on the plate or something, you can't agree."

"I don't want you to be a dirt rat digging for food underground."

When Father Li is happy, he calls others Tufuzi. If he is not satisfied, Tufuzi becomes Tufuzi.

"it is good."

Li Daoxuan agreed in one breath, "Your son agreed."

Father Li left with satisfaction.

After he left, Li Daoxuan's eyes flickered.

Grave robbing?

This seems to be a bit interesting. If you don't delay the normal season and go to various tombs part-time, Li Daoxuan would still be very interested.

But the most important thing right now is to think about how to spend this Spring Festival.

After lunch, he and Zhou Yaya quickly got together and discussed for a while.

The remaining three were finally decided upon.

They are worshiping ancestors, eating glutinous rice balls and setting off firecrackers.

At least that's the custom in this town, but there's only one left, and the two of them can't discuss it.

During this period, I also asked their parents, but did not get a definite answer.

It is said that these are the customs and there are no more customs.

There is no other way, the two of them can only do what they have decided first.

Li Daoxuan used the money Li's mother gave him at noon to buy some firecrackers. It didn't take too much, as long as it made sense.

After clicking, the degree of completion really increases by one.

The rest of the ancestor worship is in the afternoon, so just go with Father Li.

Eating glutinous rice balls is dinner.

So there is no need to worry about these two, but the remaining one among the nine can't find a clue.

Seeing that the ancestor worship was completed, everyone ate glutinous rice balls when they came back.

I took out the Tower Ascension Order again, and the data above had indeed changed.

[Spring Festival: 8 completed, 1 unfinished. 】

But the two of them still had no clue about the remaining one.

Zhou Yaya guessed whether she might be putting up window grilles or eating rice cakes or something.

But after Li Daoxuan tried it, he found that there was no change in the tower-raising order.

That means it's not the case.

"How about we ask Mr. Qi again, he seems to know a lot." Zhou Yaya suggested.

"forget it."

Li Daoxuan shook his head and refused, "Sooner or later, I have to try what this weird thing is, so I might as well try it today."

"With our combined strength, if we can't survive the first weirdness, then this level will probably be completely wiped out."

"Too."

Zhou Yaya is still very confident in the strength of the two of them.

"Then don't care?"

"do not care!"

Zhou Yaya said and then mused: "If you can't solve it at night, come and call me outside my room... No, my parents will also find out in that case."

"How about I just go to your place to sleep? Anyway, the weirdness must be directed at me." When Li Daoxuan said this, his face was expressionless and his heart was not beating.

"hehe."

"No, our bodies are most likely fake anyway. Since they are fake, what are you afraid of?"

This was also Li Daoxuan's guess after seeing Zhou Yaya. She was an evil spirit and a ghost, but the body in front of him was human. I'm pretty much the same.

In this case, there is only one possibility left.

This third level is indeed similar to a dream, but it is a very real dream.

"That's not OK."

Zhou Yaya rolled her eyes, it wasn't that she thought Li Daoxuan was bad... No, she just thought Li Daoxuan was bad.

She couldn't accept a sentimental person like Li Daoxuan.

Since they can't accept it, they break up and go back to their respective homes.

After his parents fell asleep, Li Daoxuan went to the kitchen to choose carefully for a long time, and finally chose a hatchet.

The kitchen knife was too short, so it was not that easy to chop after all.

After packing these things, he returned to his room with an oil lamp. Naturally, he was not sleepy. He was waiting for what the strange thing was.

I don’t know how long it has been, but it’s probably the same as the almanac world on the second floor.

The early morning has passed and the next day has arrived.

The text on the Tower Ascension Order has also changed.

[Season: 8]

This means that on the Spring Festival, Li Daoxuan only completed 8 tasks.

Then the remaining one... Li Daoxuan just thought about what was going on, but the next moment, he felt something abnormal.

He heard someone crying outside his window.

The cry was very sad, like a cat's meow, or like a baby's cry, appearing outside his window out of thin air.

This made Li Daoxuan, who was lying on the bed, wake up instantly. He picked up the hatchet next to him with his right hand and the fire seal with his left hand.

The bamboo cover was easily removed and the fire was lit.

The light filled the entire room, and Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, this body does not have the ability to see at night now. At most, the eyesight is slightly better.

He lit the oil lamp with a fire stick. As the light became brighter and brighter, the creepy crying sound outside the door gradually subsided.

Li Daoxuan sat on the edge of the bed and pondered whether he should go out and take a look.

But at this moment...

"Boom boom boom——"

Someone knocked on his door, and he subconsciously stood up with a hatchet in hand.

A voice came from outside the door, "Daoxuan, did you hear it? Someone seemed to be crying outside the door just now?"

Li Daoxuan casually stuffed the hatchet into the quilt and breathed a sigh of relief.

The door was pushed open and Father Li walked in.

"I heard it too, so I got ready to take a look." Li Daoxuan explained.

"If it's not you, that's fine. I'll go out and have a look."

"Wait a minute, Dad..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Li Daoxuan thought for a while and asked: "Have you ever heard of anything weird happening in our town?"

"A weird thing?" Father Li frowned, "How could this be weird? I think you are quite weird. It's so late and you haven't slept yet. Why don't you lie down quickly."

He must not be lying, so even in this three-layer world, there was no weirdness before. Everything will only become weird when we grain eaters come?

Li Daoxuan guessed, "Nothing's wrong. Dad, please go back to sleep. I'll go to the door to have a look."

He didn't want to send his father away on the first day. Although his father was cheap, he couldn't die so quickly, right?
"You go?"

Father Li originally wanted to say that you are such a bear, but after thinking about his performance today, he nodded, "Okay, remember to lock the door when you come back, don't let the wild cats outside run into the house."

"Well, don't worry."

After speaking, Father Li closed the door again and left.

Li Daoxuan also let out a long breath and was about to sit back on the bed.

But as soon as he turned around, he discovered that a human face was protruding from the window paper, as if someone had printed his entire face on the window paper outside the window.

It made the window paper, which was already a little overwhelmed, look a little cracked.

Li Daoxuan immediately lowered his head and dug his hand under the quilt, and took out the rusty hatchet.

When he turned around again, he found that the strange face on the window had disappeared.

'Talk about the old way, talk about the old way, I almost believed you, I thought there really were no ghosts in this third level world. '

Li Daoxuan thought to himself, but felt a little relieved.

Don't be afraid of ghosts, just be afraid of the absence of ghosts.

After all, if something new comes out, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

After weighing the hatchet in his hand, after much hesitation, Li Daoxuan was ready to go out and give it a try.

If you stay in the house and wait for the ghost to come to your door, you will be very passive. It is better to sit and wait for death. If you want to get rid of it as soon as possible, it is better to take the initiative.

He held the hatchet in his right hand and the oil lamp in his left hand.

As long as there was a little bit of light, he could see clearly what was going on outside. If there wasn't a moon tonight, he wouldn't even need the oil lamp.

When he came to the living room and took away the wooden stick used to prop up the door, Li Daoxuan glanced at the almanac beads on his wrist.

【Good or bad luck】.

As he thought, a bright light appeared on a bead, but it went out in an instant, and soon the result appeared in Li Daoxuan's mind.

level.

Unlucky or unlucky.

This means that this ghost is not that easy to deal with, and you may be injured or killed if you are not careful, but if you are careful, you can still take down this ghost.

With the score, Li Daoxuan felt a little relieved.

When he came to the door, Li Daoxuan put the oil lamp on the ground next to him, and then walked to the door of his window.

It was empty, except that two dark handprints could be seen on the window edge, indicating that something had indeed been lying here just now.

"call."

Li Daoxuan's ears moved slightly, as if he heard someone blowing a gentle breath.

Then everything went dark, and the oil lamp he brought out...went out.

It’s clear how it was destroyed.

He turned around suddenly and saw a dark figure squatting at the door of his home, next to the chair where he placed the oil lamp.

He looked like a half-grown child, but he didn't realize it until Li Daoxuan got used to the dimness.

What kind of child was that? It was clearly a squatting old woman, with white hair but exposed fangs, a fierce look, and a sinister smile on her wrinkled face.

It seems that you can still vaguely see a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Die to me!"

Li Daoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and rushed over immediately.

The qi and blood of a normal adult is only 1. Although Li Daoxuan's qi and blood of more than 13 points at this moment is incomparable to the original, but placed here at this moment, he is still a superhuman level existence.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of this ghost. The hatchet he was holding was cutting straight down, and he was about to succeed.

But he suddenly discovered that the oil lamp was on, and the ghost in front of him also turned into a human at that moment.
Zhou Yaya.

She squatted next to the oil lamp and lit it with a fire stick.

This made Li Daoxuan's hatchet stop abruptly. If the oil lamp hadn't turned on quickly, Zhou Yaya's forehead would have blossomed with this cut.

"It's you?"

"I also want to ask you what's going on. I saw you coming to this door alone. When the oil lamp went out, I came here to light it for you. You want to kill me first?"

"No, I just saw a ghost squatting here."

"ghost?"

Zhou Yaya said, in Li Daoxuan's field of vision, she who was originally young and beautiful was aging rapidly.

But in the blink of an eye, she turned from human to ghost.

Li Daoxuan only felt a pain in his chest, and the ghost hand made of white bones penetrated directly into his heart.

He felt unbelievable, and with the little strength he had left, he chopped off the hatchet in his hand hard.

"You are really crazy!"

Zhou Yaya's voice came again, but it was already at Li Daoxuan's side.

Hearing this familiar voice, the pain in his chest gradually dissipated.

What the hell, Zhou Yaya's beautiful face was looking at him with worry.

Li Daoxuan looked down at his intact chest and felt something was wrong.

It's not right.

"You stay away from me first."

Li Daoxuan discovered for the first time that he couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost. There were no common tools and no common techniques.

Everything can only be judged based on your own experience.

"it is good."

Zhou Yaya held the oil lamp and took a few steps back to reach his window.

Li Daoxuan frowned slightly. He was a little anxious, but not much, because he knew that he was a cheater.

Sure enough, when he called up the panel, the text appeared.

[People light fire, ghosts enjoy the night, the greedy and reckless pig butcher seems to have underestimated the third level of terror. 】

[If you believe it, it’s fake. If you don’t believe it, that’s fine. It’s coming, and it’s by your side. 】

Don’t worry about the weirdness of the first sentence.

But when Li Daoxuan read the second sentence, he was suddenly frightened to death.

The next moment, he saw a bloody hand on Zhou Yaya's forehead. The source of the bloody hand was... his room!

ps: As a folklore novel, how can there be no tomb robbing? There are far more folklore methods here than you think!

I just don’t know if you like to watch it or not. If you do, you can comment here and I’ll add a little bit here first.

If you are satisfied, there is a large copy of Tomb Robbery at the back. (End of chapter)
