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

Chapter 267 The dancer pays off the debt
Just as he shouted, Lu Wen realized something was wrong.

When he came here, he was kneeling, so naturally he didn't see clearly what was going on in the cave hall.

But when he finished shouting this sentence, he realized it.

One is the smell, a smell of dust and blood oozing out.

Second, from the corner of his eye, he saw that the temple in front of him seemed to have turned into... ruins? !

He raised his head suddenly and saw a huge snake head thrust directly in front of him. The snake letters spit out by this giant snake were as thick as his waist.

He made a hand gesture with both hands, as if he was trying to escape to the ground.

But the snake letter swallowed by the python wrapped around his waist and swung him to the side, throwing him in front of Li Daoxuan.

Lu Wen opened his eyes and didn't dare to make a move.

But when he saw the appearance of the person above him, he immediately understood.

"It's you!"

He sat up straight and looked at Li Daoxuan, who was looking down at him, with horror in his eyes.

"You are actually a low-class person!"

Li Daoxuan smiled and nodded, "I heard that the master wanted to eat fish, so I sent the fish here specially."

As he spoke, the butcher's knife in his hand was already placed on Lu Wen's shoulder.

As long as it moves slightly, it can be stabbed.

"I...you, I, I wronged this senior. I really didn't mean to offend you. Please spare this bitch's life!"

Seeing the followers of Shanhehuang City begging for mercy, Li Daoxuan sneered and was not surprised.

After all, it is normal for a person who can do such a thing to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Next, I'll ask, Q&A, can you understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

As long as he can survive, Lu Wen is willing to do anything now.

"Where did you find those four lanterns with crying faces?" Li Daoxuan asked.

"This... this was originally here." Lu Wen said miserably, "I grew up in the Xiu Temple up here since I was a child. Later, I went to travel to the Shogunate City and the Divine Witch City. Waiting for me When I came back, the temple was in ruins, and all my brothers and sisters were gone.”

"With all my despair, I plan to stay in this temple for one last night and then leave."

"I never thought that that night I suddenly heard a strange voice. It told me that there were secrets hidden underground, and told me how to get there."

"When I came underground, I saw this sealed temple."

When Lu Wen said this, he finished.

"So you're saying that this was already the case when you came here?"

Li Daoxuan didn't quite believe it. After all, he had just seen the appearance of this temple.

It's very new, as if it hasn't been repaired for a long time.

"It's really like this. It's been like this since I first came here."

Lu Wen said and pointed to the surroundings of the original temple, "When I first came here, the four lanterns were hung here."

"The sound that attracted me was that of the ancestor, but it was trapped by the four lanterns and couldn't get out. I knew it was evil and didn't dare to go in..."

"So you recognize it as your ancestor?"

After Li Daoxuan asked, Lu Wen spread his hands and said, "It does know a lot of secrets and helps me a lot, so I recognized this ancestor..."

"Tsk."

Li Daoxuan looked back at the corpse of the inner demon. Although he was evil, he would die after his head was chopped off with a knife...

It's just that Li Daoxuan naturally couldn't believe what this believer said casually.

Under the pollution of the field, the nightmare comes.

In the dream, Li Daoxuan got the same answer again, which at least meant that this person was fine and not weird.

As for wanting to steal one's own catch, it's simply due to temperament.

It's him who is so bad.

So after waking him up, Li Daoxuan didn't find a reason to let him live. After all... Li Daoxuan felt that he disgusted him.

"In order for me to understand my thoughts clearly, I can only feel sorry for you. You should be able to understand me, right?"

Li Daoxuan bent over and spoke very gently, but what he said made Lu Wen feel extremely cold.

He thought he was so honest and cooperative.

This person will let him go. After all, he has encountered such a thing before, because his greed offended people he shouldn't have offended.

But fortunately, I gave up and begged for mercy, so I have been lucky enough to survive until now.

But this time the situation... why is it a little different?
Lu Wen opened his mouth, but in the end he said no more words. After all... killing people can only be done with a nod.

After settling the matter, Li Daoxuan turned back and looked around. The body of the inner demon was already dead.

The originally intact temple was destroyed by the huge body of the python.

At this moment, it received Li Daoxuan's order and did not leave. It just circled there, crushing the temple and house that had already been crushed into pieces.

There was probably nothing inside the temple. Li Daoxuan scanned the area several times and found nothing unusual.

The only thing that was abnormal was the four lanterns.

Four lanterns from the Weeping Soul Temple, what are these things for?

He came to the nearest lantern. The lantern was still rolling on the ground. Maybe it noticed Li Daoxuan coming to it. It turned over and pointed the crying face human skin at Li Daoxuan.

Just in an instant, the feeling of being deprived of his soul came to Li Daoxuan again.

But this time he didn't cry anymore, but kicked the lantern over with his feet. As long as the face was not facing him, this feeling no longer existed.

[Weeping Soul Lantern: A companion item of the Weeping Soul Inn. A small number can be used for sealing and suppression. Once the number exceeds ten, they can be gathered to form a soul mourning field. Once entering it, human nature will be extremely sad and the soul will be mourned in it. 】

Prompts are given on the panel.

Looking at this thing, Li Daoxuan estimated that it was quite useful.

Only four of them can suppress an inner demon, and once the number exceeds ten, they can form a domain... Looking at the remaining three, Li Daoxuan gathered them together and wrapped them with a ghost shroud each.

I have to say that the shroud ghost... although it is low-level, its rules are really effective.

As long as it is held by it, no matter what material or filth it is, it will be honest.

After putting away the four lanterns, Li Daoxuan thought of the Smiley Face Inn again for no reason.

You have to smile all the time when you enter there. Now that I have this "crying face lantern", if I bring this crying face lantern into the smiling face inn.

What will happen when we cry and laugh?
After waiting for a moment, text popped up on the panel again.

[The reckless pig-killer always doesn't care about anything. If the lanterns from the Wailing Soul Temple are sent to the Smiley Face Inn, they will form a regular rejection of each other, and the entire inn will turn into a regular battlefield. At that time, no one will survive. , even including the pig butcher...himself. 】

When he saw this text, Li Daoxuan admitted that he was a little surprised, but then he thought about it.

As long as you throw the lantern in but don't go in, wouldn't you be able to destroy the Smiling Face Inn?

But it is not a reliable thing, just in case there is something about this Smiling Face Inn. If you catch yourself before it is destroyed, then the game is over.

Just as he was thinking about it, another paragraph popped up on the panel.

[Pig-killer who owns the "Mask of Control of the Ghost Inn", you don't know that something seems to be happening in the Ghost Inn now. Your survival points are +9 (blue). 】

Is there really something going on at the Ghost Inn?
As soon as the second tide ended, Li Daoxuan was sent to the Evil Suppressing Tower. After he came out, he was busy with Hemu's affairs, until now.

It’s really been a long time since I’ve been to the Evil Suppressing Tower.

In that place...even the mask of control is in his own hands.

Basically, it has been dealt with, and when he left last time, Li Daoxuan handed the place over to his uncle, the shed ghost.

From this point of view, there is only one possibility... Something happened to my uncle.

It seems that after this matter is over, it's time to take a look. Whether it can be solved is left aside, the point is to take a look.

With a move of his hand, the python shrank again and wrapped around his hand.

Li Daoxuan looked at the corpse of the inner demon, kicked it into the ruins of the temple, and then used the [Oil Burning] technique to pour a lot of hot oil on the ruins.

The last fire burned everything.

By the way, the corpse of the believer was also burned. After doing this, for the sake of safety, Li Daoxuan used his domain to directly shake the mountain.

He didn't leave until the cave inside the mountain completely collapsed and was buried.

Li Daoxuan, who returned to the ground again, felt the still warm sunshine and breathed a sigh of relief.

He himself didn't expect that what he thought was a simple killing of someone would actually cause so much trouble.

"But at least...the harvest is okay."

He weighed the Sumeru in his hand and saw that there were still a lot of good things in it. This greedy believer still got a lot of good things.

After confirming that there was nothing else missing, Li Daoxuan took a moment to identify the direction, and then the domain turned into a rainbow and went straight to the Dancing Girl City.

And not long after he left, some ashes suddenly flowed out from the pile of rubble in the underground ruins.

It's like water flowing out from those gaps and finally gathering into a ball.

It was mixed and twisted, and when it finally stood up, it turned into a human shape. It twisted its neck and soon transformed into a human face.

His appearance... was exactly the same as that of Lu Wen who was killed by Li Daoxuan before.

After his body was fully formed, he looked at his hands again and moved them, as if he was adapting.

"How many years have passed, and I finally have my own body again."

"It's just that this time, you have to be more careful. You can't act so recklessly and lose your life."

He was muttering, but suddenly, he felt as if he was facing a powerful enemy. He bumped forward, as if he was trying to escape from the mountain.

But at this moment, black mist surged behind him, and a hand reached out and placed directly on his shoulder.

"It's so hard to see the light of day again, and you just run away like this?"

"How does this work?"

Coming out of the black mist was naturally Li Daoxuan's figure. After all, he didn't expect that such a figure would come again.

Originally, he had gone far away, but text suddenly popped up on the panel. While feeling strange, he also told him that the demon in his heart was not dead.

Ordinary fire cannot burn away the inner demons.

So Li Daoxuan hurried back and happened to see this scene.

"Don't... Sir, Xiao Mo really has no intention of becoming your enemy. What happened before was just an accident."

"Please let me go."

Seeing his groveling look, Li Daoxuan sneered: "It seems that the virtues and feelings of the previous believers in Shanhehuang City were all learned from your ancestor."

"Yes, yes, the little devil is such a bully and afraid of the strong. Sir, you are very powerful, but the little devil only has... you!"

He lowered his head with difficulty and saw that a black butcher knife had been stabbed out of his chest.

"It turns out that you who have a physical body...are so weak."

Li Daoxuan was also a little surprised. He didn't even expect that he thought this inner demon would be very terrifying after it had a physical body.

He even thought about whether this knife should directly burn the blood and use the common technique of [dismemberment].

But now it seems that is not the case at all.

Just one [disembowelment] had already taken away his entire life.

"You...are unethical."

After this inner demon transformed, except for his superb ability to escape, the rest was really pitifully weak.

When Li Daoxuan heard this, he replied seriously: "But the problem is, you don't even have the qualifications for me to talk about [morality] with you..."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he twisted the butcher's knife violently and rushed away with great force. In one stroke, he separated the newly formed corpse.

There was no blood seeping out. After the corpse was separated, it turned into ashes on the ground, which even prevented Li Daoxuan from losing his mind again.

[The reckless butcher finally succeeded in killing an inner demon, your survival points +2 (blue). 】

The panel had confirmed the death of this inner demon, and Li Daoxuan finally felt relieved.

"You can still survive after killing this inner demon. Although it's not much, it still has energy and blood."

Li Daoxuan left here again with random thoughts in his mind.

On the way to the Dancing Girl City, he did not forget to ask Zhou Yaya: "Where did this inner demon come from? Compared with evil spirits, it seems a bit special."

"This thing is not evil. As for the source...it is said to be generated from the human heart. It is extremely difficult to deal with."

"I don't know how there is one hidden here."

Li Daoxuan agreed with this. After all, if he hadn't been reminded by the panel just now and had Zhou Yaya's help, he might have fallen into the trap of this inner demon.

But fortunately, things have been resolved.

Not long after, the tall city wall of Dancing Girl City appeared in front of Li Daoxuan. He fell from the sky and came straight to the dancing girl's yard.

The previous troubles caused by the disciples of Ksitigarbha Lord seemed to have been resolved. The dancer who had been promoted was also sitting leisurely on the first floor of the two-story building in the south, chatting with the maid there.

Li Daoxuan didn't hear clearly what they were talking about, but he was very happy to see them.

The dancer's eyes lit up when she saw the visitor, but soon she became playful.

"I just owe City Master Li such a debt, and City Master Li is pressing hard."

Li Daoxuan was not ashamed and replied directly: "I can't help it. I was born in a small family and have a small business. I can't get credit."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the maid.

Li Daoxuan has picked the dancing girl flower several times, but the maid... Li Daoxuan has never known her depth.

"This day is worse than hitting the sun."

"Let's settle the account first today."
