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

The ghosts had been removed, and the entire tomb was considered safe for the time being, so the two naturally separated and searched for clues in the tomb.

If you want to talk about other things, you can also use Taoism to help you talk and laugh, but at the moment, you can search for clues.

It's really hard to resist.

It's better to rely on luck.

Holding the candle in his hand, he began to search bit by bit on these walls. Generally speaking, if there is no special monument for the past in an ancient tomb, then every bit of the life of the tomb owner will be recorded in the tomb. On the stone wall.

But he searched around bit by bit, but couldn't find any clues.

On the other hand, on the way here, Shi Ji's shouts were heard.

"Taoist, Taoist!"

"Come here quickly!"

What clues did he find?

Tanxiao held the candle with his hand and quickly left the main tomb chamber and returned to the ear chamber where the sarcophagus was previously. The stone was not here, and his voice came from the first burial chamber.

There are many stone doors there.

When Tanxiao arrived here, Shi Ji was crouching behind the first stone door, not knowing what he was looking at.

Seeing the sound of talking and laughing, he hurriedly said: "Taoist Priest, come and take a look. There are also murals here."

Talking and laughing, Shi Ji took the initiative to get out of the way.

Under the candlelight, Tan Daozhang leaned down and found a pattern carved on the back of the door. He glanced at it a few times, and suddenly there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Lou Guguo?"

……

"Yes, we were under the rule of Lou Gu Kingdom at that time." Mr. Qi took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Li Daoxuan asked: "Then why is it not happening now?"

"It's a long story. At that time, our Lougu Kingdom was at its peak, and we defeated the surrounding Xixia Kingdom, Yuezhi Kingdom, and Xiulan Kingdom."

"But who knew that there would be unforeseen circumstances, and our ancient country had a leader who was dedicated to cultivating immortality."

"A huge and powerful country was handed over to him. In just ten years, it was divided into twelve countries, large and small."

Mr. Qi shook his head and sighed, feeling very sorry.

"Nowadays, the ancient Lilou Kingdom has passed away for almost a thousand years, and many people don't know this history."

Li Daoxuan spread his hands, and what he held in his palm was a small double-open golden door with a very delicate shape.

This was something he, Zhou Yaya, and Mr. Qi dug out from a tomb they dug two days ago.

At that time, there was nothing in the sarcophagus in the tomb, only this double-open golden door.

He didn't recognize it, and Mr. Qi just said it looked familiar. He came back and looked through ancient books for two days before finding clues.

"I think this ancient country should be the core of the third floor, what do you think?"

Li Daoxuan didn't care about Mr. Qi's existence and spoke to Zhou Yaya directly in front of him.

"I listen to you."

Zhou Yaya's eyes were shining, her tomb robbing career these past few days had really captured her thoughts.

Nothing else, thrilling and exciting.

There are still benefits to be gained, so how can she, a ghost, resist?

Seemingly seeing that Li Daoxuan had made up his mind, Mr. Qi said with a smile: "I do know one of the tombs in this ancient country. Daoxuan, if you want to go, we can set off after a few days."

"Okay, okay."

Li Daoxuan was fine. Any tomb he robbed was a tomb robber anyway, so he might as well explore the secrets of this ancient country.

Seeing that he agreed, Mr. Qi also had some expectations in his heart.

Without him, he has been in the tomb robbing world for decades and has never seen a ruthless character like Li Daoxuan.

So where is tomb robbing?
It's obviously as simple as going underground to get your own things.

Others are building roads across mountains and building bridges across rivers.

He was good at climbing mountains and wading into rivers, and he looked like he had no inhibitions, even the ghost in the tomb.

The existence that frightened all the native masters the most could not withstand a single blow in his eyes.

"Okay, this is how we divide the harvest from this trip to the tomb. Could you please Mr. Qi to prepare a more complete set of things for me and Zhou Yaya..."

As Li Daoxuan spoke, he reached into the box of gold and silver jewelry and took out two blackened silver ingots and a gold ingot.

"Is the rest of this enough?"

"Enough is enough."

Mr. Qi nodded repeatedly and smiled almost from ear to ear.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan no longer saw the aura of a serious master in him. He was just a local master who couldn't be more rustic.

After coming out of his place, Li Daoxuan and the two walked on the path home.

Zhou Yaya played with a small and exquisite jade pendant she picked up from the tomb and muttered: "It's not half as good as what I used to have."

"By the way, Li Daoxuan, why did you give Mr. Qi so much treasure? Buy some things. How can you use so much?"

Zhou Yaya felt that this was not like Li Daoxuan's temperament.

"It's okay. If he wants to be sensible, I will keep it with him. If he is not sensible, I will take his share back as well."

After hearing these words and this tone, Zhou Yaya felt relieved.

"I was shocked. I thought you were in a tomb and the owner of the tomb took away your body."

"I think so."

The two of them returned to their respective homes talking and laughing. Well... they were talking and laughing on the way back, but it was no longer the case after they returned.

Li Daoxuan was able to escape after explaining the truth to his family for a long time and giving him a piece of gold.

As for Zhou Yaya, Li Daoxuan went to Zhou's house and was almost beaten out by Zhou's father with a broom.

The day they came back was the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Tomorrow is the seventh day of the first lunar month, which is Human Day.

Before coming to this third world, Li Daoxuan admitted that he didn't know what human day was, but he couldn't resist the needs of this seasonal world.

So early on, he asked Mr. Qi about the customs of the day.

Compared with Li's father and Li's mother, Mr. Qi has traveled extensively and is a wife, so he naturally knows more.

Dang even popularized the origin of this day and several customs to Li Daoxuan.

There is an old saying: "Eight days after the age of the year, one day is chicken, the second day is dog, the third day is pig, the fourth day is sheep, the fifth day is ox, the sixth day is horse, the seventh day is human beings, and the eighth day is grain. If the day is clear and bright, then the child will be born. The desire for material things brings disaster.”

Over time, this custom has become a common practice.

One of the names is "Eating Seven Soupes", which roughly means that on this day, seven kinds of vegetables should be cooked and made into vegetable soup to symbolize the number of seven days.

If it had been before, Li Daoxuan would have been criticized again after he said this.

But yesterday I gave my family an ingot of gold, so I can make any requests.

Next is Dai Huasheng. This is easy to solve. Li Daoxuan has also made an agreement with Zhou Yaya, and the two of them can give each other gifts.

It's a square hair accessory, as long as it makes sense.

Taipingtuan is a kind of pastry made from fried rice.

After telling Mother Li about this, she agreed.

Therefore, the three customs mentioned by Mr. Qi all have solutions.

Li Daoxuan thinks that this Human Day is a small festival, so it is normal to have only these three customs.

That night, he didn't go to bed early. He waited until the sun and moon changed and the next day came.

Only then did he take out his tower-ascension order from under his pillow.

There is no need to light a lamp, the light above will light up and the words will appear.

[Season: 8]

[Shouyuan Tongbao: 2]

[Person-day: 0 completed, 5 unfinished]

"Ok??"

Five?

Li Daoxuan, who was lying on the bed, looked a little stunned, which was really beyond his expectation.

If nothing else, the three Mr. Qi told him are definitely there, and there are still two left.

It seems that I can only find someone to ask after I wake up tomorrow.

As for just ignoring it, waiting for the ghost to come, and then killing the ghost, Li Daoxuan has also thought about this.

It's a way, but it doesn't quite work.

Kill ghosts to get the Shouyuan Tongbao, but if you really want to get this thing, it's the same as going to the tomb to kill ghosts.

But this festival is different, it can only be obtained by completing festival customs.

Moreover, this third level was originally called the World of Seasons, not the world of tomb robbers. Therefore, if you want to redeem the token that Qiu Wuming needs when passing through this third level, you most likely rely on Seasons.

Not this Shouyuan Tongbao.

This thing probably has other uses. Li Daoxuan initially speculated that it can increase people's longevity, but he doesn't know if it is another conspiracy of the evil-suppressing tower weapon spirit.

So in the final analysis, obtaining this season is still extremely important.

[In the fourth season of seasonal inspections, the greedy pig butcher realizes the importance of the matter, but it seems to be of no use. You have little talent and learning, and you don’t like to learn. You can’t grasp the customs of each season. You can only watch the opportunities coming from you. Slip away in front of me. 】

[The greedy pig butcher realized that it seemed that all the problems could not be solved by just relying on the knife in his hand. 】

The panel is still weird, but I have to admit that what the panel says is indeed true.

At this time, force alone cannot solve the problem...but not necessarily!

Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and thought of some countermeasures.

But everything had to be done at dawn. In the gloomy darkness, Li Daoxuan stuffed the Tower Ascension Order back under his pillow. This feeling made him feel like he was playing with his mobile phone at night in his previous life.

The next day.

It was still breakfast, and Li's mother prepared "seven soups" for him. This feeling made Li Daoxuan a little uncomfortable.

Although he knew that this was just a dream, in game terms, Li's father and Li's mother were just NPCs, but despite this, they still gave him the impression of parents.

And this was because he knew he was in a dream. But what if you lose your previous memories and completely start a new life, a life without evil or weirdness?
In a daze, Li Daoxuan seemed to understand why this top-notch Red Mansion could attract so many people.

But soon, his distracting thoughts were broken by Zhou Yaya.

She jumped in from the outside with a smile and a garland. Li Daoxuan also took out the one he had prepared in advance. Well... Zhou Yaya's face dropped when she saw the garland. It couldn't even be considered a garland. .

It was a headband that Li Daoxuan randomly woven from bamboo. It was quite big. Zhou Yaya put a set on her head and hung it directly around her neck, which was enough to serve as a collar.

This made her even more embarrassed. If it weren't for the custom, she would have wanted to take back the wreath given to Li Daoxuan.

"It's not that simple. There are two other customs that we don't know yet."

Li Daoxuan forcibly changed the topic.

"Ok?"

"There are two more? What are those?" When it came to business, Zhou Yaya had no choice but to put down the previous matters.

"I don't know. I'm going to ask Mr. Qi again...if he is at home."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The two hit it off immediately and went out immediately.

I came to the door of Mr. Qi's house and came to the bamboo forest.

The door was closed tightly.

Mr. Qi, who took a large sum of money yesterday, obviously went to replace his equipment today to prepare for his next trip to the fields.

"Then I can only ask other people in the town. Do you know who else is older in the town?"

Zhou Yaya babbled and suggested ways to Li Daoxuan.

He also took out his Tower Ascension Order from his arms.

As soon as he took it out, he said "hmm".

"what happened?"

Zhou Yaya also poked her head over, with a trace of doubt and surprise in her eyes.

"This custom of this day... I actually completed one myself."

[Person-day: 4 completed, 1 unfinished]

"Hey, really? What did you do?"

"I don't know."

Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed as he recalled what he had experienced since he left home... He only felt that it was ordinary and he did not recall anything special that he had done.

Zhou Yaya was open-minded and said bluntly: "Then don't worry, as long as it's done, let's go find someone and ask what this other custom is."

"Well, let's go."

……

at the same time.

Qingshan Town.

Shi Ji spread his hands and said helplessly: "Custom? Can this be done without hands?"

Tanxiao sat next to him, playing with a wild boar tooth. This thing was also a useful thing in the underworld tomb.

Hearing Shi Ji's words, Tan Daochang chuckled and said: "Okay, next time it will be the Beginning of Spring. According to folklore, the Beginning of Spring is as big a festival as the Spring Festival. Not to mention that this year's Beginning of Spring coincides with it. Lantern Festival.”

"Pindao won't tell you anymore. It depends on how good your hands are."

Old Shi Ji, who was sitting on the recliner with his legs crossed and swaying constantly, had a dark face.

He couldn't do that kind of behavior of licking his face and begging for mercy, so he held it in for a long time and just choked out a sentence.

"Custom? Isn't it enough for Taoist Tan to have some skills?"

"Okay, let's pack up and get ready. We'll leave in a moment." Tanxiao put away the boar teeth, patted his butt and stood up.

"It's so urgent that you can't stay even a day?"

Shi Ji was a little stunned.

"Well, we want to find out the secret of this ancient country as soon as possible. We can only go to the ancient tomb in Youzidang according to what the old master said."

"Okay, then I'll go pack up and we'll set off later."

Now that we have talked about it and have the basis of going to the tomb last time, Shi Ji naturally knows that he is better prepared.

"Well, remember to tell your family that we will meet up at the same place after lunch."

"okay."

The two of them separated. After lunch, Tanxiao, who had changed into brand new equipment, came to the foot of the back mountain in the north of the town.

Shi Ji had already been waiting here this time.

And compared with last time, he also carried a bag and replaced the old simple knife he picked up from nowhere with a brand-new spear.

The barrel of the gun is split in the middle and can be used as a short gun if it cannot be used in a narrow tomb.

If possible, connect the front and back and wield it like a spear.

"Hey, Taoist Priest is also wearing a rope..."

Before Shi Ji finished speaking, he threw the heavy hemp rope over and said, "Carry it on your back."

"okay."

Shi Ji has no other advantages, except that he has a lot of strength, so carrying something on his back is not a problem.

"The journey is quite far this time. It may take two days to walk there. You'd better be prepared."

Before talking and laughing, I asked the old master for a map of Kanyu nearby, and naturally he also knew the route to Youzidang.

He led the way, wading through mountains and rivers, and finally came to a valley in the evening of the next day.

There is a gentle slope on the left side of the valley, and a cliff on the right side, with only a narrow path passing through it.

When they got here, Shi Ji leaned on his spear and looked around.

"It must be the right side, right?"

"Ah."

After walking for two days, his body was still that of an ordinary person, and he felt a little tired from talking and laughing. He looked at the map of Kanyu in his hand, and finally pointed to a small hole on the cliff on the right.

"The entrance is right there."

"what?!"

Shi Ji looked at the position, stretched out his hand and gestured up and down, and immediately knew what the hemp rope he was carrying was for.

"Then let's go to the top of the mountain now and then go down to the cave early tomorrow morning?"

"That's what Pindao planned."

While chatting and laughing, he raised his head and glanced at the sky, "Remember to take a look on the way and find a pine tree to make a torch. I'll probably need it after entering the cave."

"Row."

As he spoke, Shi Ji disassembled the long gun into two short guns, put them in the gun bag behind him, and took out a very sharp hatchet from it.

It's okay to enter the mountain from here, but when it's time to go up the mountain, he will be needed to open the way.

The two men repaired for a while and then set off again. Soon, they came to a line of sky in the middle of the cliff.

Originally, there were still bushes outside, but after entering, the situation was completely opposite.

The ground was covered with gravel and no grass could grow.

Shi Ji only walked a few steps and then stopped. It was already getting close to dusk, and there were high mountains and cliffs blocking both sides, so it was already very dark inside the mountain road.

"Taoist Master, there is someone in front!"

Shi Ji put away the hatchet and took out the long gun that he had just placed on his back.

Tanxiao walked up to him and squinted his eyes, "Let's go, don't worry, that's not a human being."

"not human?"

Following the conversation and laughter, Shi Ji soon walked not far away from the "person" he saw. As he got closer, he finally saw it clearly.

It's really not a human being.

It was a stone statue, a stone statue of a soldier kneeling on one knee.

"Why are there stone statues here?" Shi Ji held a spear and walked around in a circle, then looked around, "Could it be the Taoist priest from the tomb?"

Tanxiao looked at the armored stone statue with squinted eyes, then took a few steps to the left and looked up.

In the dim sky, halfway up the cliff, a dark cave entrance was extremely eye-catching.

"Maybe we don't have to go to the top of the mountain."

Shi Ji also noticed his movements, looked up and saw the entrance of the cave.

"What the Taoist priest means is that it is a tomb?"

"pretty close."

Although it is a cliff from here to the entrance of the cave, there are still many rock protrusions along the way. With their skills, it is not difficult to climb up.

"Let's make a fire here and get something to eat first, and then go up."

After chatting and laughing, Shi Ji immediately took off his bag and took out two pieces of dry food and a piece of fresh wild boar meat.

Don't ask, asking means relying on the mountain.

Tanxiao found some dry firewood that had fallen from the mountain nearby, and hit the stone table with flint several times, but the sparks just ignited and then went out again.

The topography of the sky is extremely windy.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to move the fire to the stone statue and then light it.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, there was no moonlight, only the howling wind.

The cold hard dry food is roasted, and the wild boar meat is cut into thick slices and grilled on the fire. The aroma is immediately fragrant.

It was a rare comfort for the two of them in this dark night.

Tanxiao stretched out his hands to warm the fire, while the stone table turned the pork to prevent it from being burned.

The two of them just waited, but suddenly, in the darkness, another pair of hands reached out.

It was also accompanied by a sinister voice.

"It's really cold today." (End of chapter)
