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

Chapter 268 Return to the Ghost Inn

The dancer felt that the debt she owed City Master Li could never be repaid.

Because once you pay it back, you have to pay it back in two days!
And in the past two days, she couldn't remember how many unequal treaties she owed Li Daoxuan when she was still unconscious.

Anyway, she agreed to whatever Li Daoxuan said at that time.

Therefore, the dancer feels that she seems to be paying more and more for this debt.

As for Li Daoxuan himself... he only felt that he seemed to be a little invincible after his Qi and blood exceeded 100.

The dancers and maids fought together, not to mention they were not at a disadvantage, and they even had the upper hand.

This feeling made Li Daoxuan very comfortable.

Two days later, Li Daoxuan came out of the dancer's yard refreshed. He was going to go to the ghost inn and then return to Wu City.

So we still have to take care of things here first.

For example, fellow villager Huang Hu.

The day before, the dancer had promised to let him go. The price was that he would never be able to step into the dancer's city again.

When he left that day, he gave Li Daoxuan an address.

So when Li Daoxuan found him in a town near the sea, he had already disguised himself as a merchant.

The two of them were old acquaintances, so Li Daoxuan didn't care about being polite and went straight to the point: "Let's choose between the two."

"Okay, you tell me." Xu Shi has long been smoothed by life, and Huang Hu lives up to his former unruliness.

"The first is that we broke up. We are both fellow villagers, so it is normal for us to come to the rescue this time. You don't need to take it too seriously. From now on, you can go wherever you want, and you can go as long as you want. Pass."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, Huang Hu shook his head without saying anything and said: "I choose the second one."

"Are you sure?"

"You don't even have to listen to what the second one is?" Li Daoxuan smiled playfully.

"determine."

Huang Hu said firmly: "After experiencing so many things, I can finally see clearly that with my ability and talent, I can only do things for others wherever I go."

"So instead of following some people who want to use me as material, I will work hard for them."

"It's better to follow Daoxuan. At least...if I die for you, I don't think it's such a loss."

When Huang Hu said this, he showed a wry smile.

Li Daoxuan was not affected by his words, "Don't tell me, this second option may really require you to work hard."

Huang Hu put away his emotions and sat up slightly, looking serious and formal.

"It's okay, Daoxuan, just say it and I'll listen."

"Ah."

"You can't stay in the Dancer City any longer, so I want you to go to the Divine Witch City and help me collect some information... The more detailed the news about the new Lord of the Divine Witch City and the Moon Festival, the better. good."

This matter has also been carefully considered by Li Daoxuan.

Although there are people in Shouwu City doing the gathering of information, Fang Jie is still in charge.

So in terms of trust, Li Daoxuan naturally trusts him.

It's just that Xiyue is not stupid. The people over there in Hand Witch City have probably been targeted for a long time, so there must not be much core information that can be obtained.

But Huang Hu is different. He is now a person from the Dance Girl City.

As for means and strength, Li Daoxuan has also seen that he can survive such ups and downs and be promoted to the sixth level... so this ability is definitely not lacking.

"OK, no problem."

Huang Hu didn't hesitate after hearing this and agreed immediately.

"Then how do I contact you? Should I contact someone from Shouwu City after I get there?"

"No, no, no, don't look for them. It will be a waste of time to look for them. You can just live there by yourself. There is no need to pass on the information you have collected. When I need it, I will naturally come to you."

When Li Daoxuan actually goes to find Huang Hu, he will definitely... go north!
Cut and sacrifice the moon!
"Okay, it's up to you."

"Then I'll leave this to you."

Li Daoxuan nodded towards him.

"Well, I'll leave now, but..." Huang Hu glanced north.

Dancing Girl City is south of the Yiluo River. To go north to the Divine Witch City, you have to cross the Yiluo River. At this moment, the situation in the river... Huang Hu also told Li Daoxuan.

"It's okay, I'll just take you to Shanshui City."

For today's Li Daoxuan, this is just a piece of cake. He has a field and can basically use it without any restrictions.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

A black light rose from the town, heading straight to the north.

Not long after, after sending Huang Hu to Shanshui City, Li Daoxuan did not waste any more time, but took out a key from Sumeru.

The word "Guimao" is engraved on it.

And this is the key that Li Daoxuan first got at the Ghost Inn. It can be said that the reason why he and Bai Jun were "connected" was because of this key.

Originally, he could go directly with the control mask, but Li Daoxuan didn't dare to gamble.

He was afraid that he might accidentally become the owner of this ghost inn.

But with this key, he no longer had such worries. He activated the key with a thought, and a deep path emitting mist immediately appeared in front of him. The path was pitch black, with branches growing on both sides, like the hands of a ghost.

Familiar yet a little strange.

As soon as Li Daoxuan stepped on it, text popped up on the panel.

[The reckless pig butcher once again embarked on the path to the ghost inn. I wonder what he will experience this time? Your survival points +2 (blue). 】

Looking at the survival points given on the panel, Li Daoxuan felt a little more at ease.

The survival points are not many, so that means the trouble may not be big?

After passing through the dark corridor, a dim light gradually appeared in front of him. Before he left the corridor, Li Daoxuan already had a smile on his face.

The sign hanging next to the door still exists, with the word "Guimao" written on it.

Because Li Daoxuan did not imprison ghosts in this room, the door was still open, and everything seemed so natural.

So, nothing happened in this ghost inn?
Li Daoxuan walked smoothly to the second floor of the Ghost Inn. His footsteps made a creaking sound when he stepped on the wooden board.

Everything here is no different from the previous two times.

He turned around and looked around. What he saw was still old. There were also cobwebs in the corners. Apart from that, there were only two or three lanterns still emitting a faint light.

Most of the rooms on the second and third floors are still closed, with only a few open.

Li Daoxuan raised his head and looked towards the fourth floor, where he once dealt with the ghost innkeeper.

Up there, there was originally a black coffin-like room.

My uncle said at the time that the house was built only after inviting believers from Shanhehuang City.

The house still exists at this moment, but the door originally opened by Li Daoxuan is now closed again.

So...where is my uncle? !
Did he go in again?
Li Daoxuan was surprised when Zhou Yaya also came out of his domain. After all, compared to Li Daoxuan's body.

In fact, this is where she spent the longest time.

"There seems to be something different here..."

"How do you say it?" Li Daoxuan asked.

Zhou Yaya had no head, but Li Daoxuan still saw that she was raising her head, and she looked up towards the third floor.

"The room I once lived in has another ghost."

When Li Daoxuan heard this, he already let go of his territory, and then shouted in passing:

"Brother-in-law?!"

Li Daoxuan's voice echoed in the empty hall of the ghost inn, but there was no response.

Could it be that...my uncle has escaped? Did it leave the Ghost Inn?

But that's not necessarily the case. After all, what responded to Li Daoxuan were the smiling lanterns hanging outside the ghost inn.

At this moment, they heard Li Daoxuan's shouting, and they all turned around, facing the interior of the inn with smiling faces, and let out a burst of "hehehehaha" weird laughter.

Laughter echoed inside the inn, and Li Daoxuan had no choice but to start laughing.

Don’t laugh…there’s nothing I can do about it.

He even had the idea of ​​taking out some crying face lanterns of his own.

Li Daoxuan's domain quickly spread to every corner of this ghost inn. Except for those locked doors that couldn't be seen clearly, the rest of the place was covered by his domain.

But despite this, there is still no trace of my uncle.

Did it really run away?
After a little hesitation, Li Daoxuan had already arrived at the door. He was ready to go out and see where this ghost inn had wandered to.

Zhou Yaya came to the third floor and came to the door of the room where she had lived before.

at this time.

Inside this silent ghost inn, there was suddenly a "crunching" sound, as if... a door had been opened.

Li Daoxuan's domain has always enveloped the entire Ghost Inn, so he had already noticed the sound the moment it sounded.

My uncle...hasn't left!
It's still hiding in this ghost inn, and it's on the newly built fourth floor.

So Li Daoxuan didn't go out again, but came to the molted ghost immediately, and Zhou Yaya was also there.

"Brother-in-law?!"

"Why are you hiding up here?"

There was a hint of surprise in Li Daoxuan's voice. As for the Molted Ghost... it also had a hint of surprise when it closed the door.

"Hide? I'm not hiding. I just have nothing to do and take a nap."

The molted ghost was also smiling, "Brother-in-law, why do you have time to come to my ghost inn? I have heard of your name outside, City Lord Li!"

"That name is quite famous."

The molted ghost seems to be really happy, because the smile on his face is very bright.

Li Daoxuan just looked at it, and his intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with his uncle.

The most obvious feeling is that when it faces itself, it no longer feels awkward and uneasy as before.

It turned out to be very indifferent and normal.

Li Daoxuan, his uncle, naturally knows what kind of temper he is.

To describe it as timid and afraid of death, that is more appropriate and more appropriate.

So its current state is very strange, as if it has found something to rely on.

The second thing is what it just said... Come to my ghost inn when you have time.

My ghost inn?
Does it regard this ghost inn as its own? But doesn’t the mask that controls the ghost inn belong to him?
interesting.

Li Daoxuan looked at his uncle in front of him with a half-smile, and the molted ghost was not afraid at all. He laughed and said, "It's been a long time, brother-in-law, why don't we go down and have a few drinks?"

"No need, I just came to see you this time." Li Daoxuan shook his head, "As long as you are fine."

When the molted ghost heard this, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, but he didn't know how true it was.

When Zhou Yaya saw the two of them finished speaking, she also asked directly: "Is there a ghost living in the room I lived in before?"

"The one you lived in..." The Sloughed Ghost seemed to be remembering, and after waiting for a while, he said, "The one on the third floor, right? I sold the key when I saw no one was there."

The molted ghost spoke as if this ghost inn was his territory.

If there is a vacant room in the inn, rent it out, which is very casual.

Now Li Daoxuan is basically sure that this guy is a bit particular... Tsk, tsk, I don't know whether to say that this ghost inn is too ghostly, or should I say that my uncle is too crotch-stretching?
Zhou Yaya said again: "I saw that most of the other empty rooms seem to have locked doors now...are they all occupied by ghosts?"

"More or less, many rooms are empty."

The shed ghost smiled and said: "Of course, some keys are in the hands of grain eaters. There are still relatively few ghosts who can actually live in them directly."

"I naturally have to take care of my brother-in-law's room."

Li Daoxuan remembered that the shopkeeper had said before that most of the keys in the inn were gone and could not be found.

But now... he looked at the molted ghost up and down, and even used the common skill [Four Square Eyes].

Hey, you don’t know this by looking at it, but at first glance, he really saw some signs and weirdness.

I saw that on the belly of this molting ghost, there was actually a... smiling face, which seemed to be drawn with a cinnabar pen.

But the eyes of the smiling face were closed tightly and did not open.

All you can see is that its mouth is smiling.

"Didn't you lose a lot of keys to this inn? Where did you get them back?" Li Daoxuan asked this question.

The smile on the molted ghost's face faded a lot.

He looked up at Li Daoxuan, "Brother-in-law, whether it's you or me... I think we all have to keep our own secrets, what do you think?"

Li Daoxuan smiled.

"Yes, uncle, you are right."

For a moment, Li Daoxuan really had the feeling that he had cultivated a boss. He thought that by putting this uncle here, he could help him keep an eye on him.

Now it seems promising.

Consider this ghost inn to be its own.

So although Li Daoxuan was smiling, his eyes were getting colder.

The long-lost memory of the molted ghost seemed to be awakened, and its original arrogant posture was slightly restrained, but not much.

His eyes hesitated for a moment, but he finally said: "Brother-in-law, you are one of our own, it doesn't hurt to reveal a little bit...but it has to be kept secret."

"Brother, you can rest assured that I have the strictest mouth."

Li Daoxuan came a little closer.

The shed ghost said slowly: "Actually, I didn't find these keys myself, someone helped me."

"Oh? Who?"

Li Daoxuan asked subconsciously.

He was curious about who could have this ability.

The expression on the molted ghost's face changed, "This is really unspeakable."

"Okay, okay." Li Daoxuan smiled and walked to the gate of the ghost inn. He wanted to see where the ghost inn had drifted to.

But when he went out with a smile, he saw black mist floating in the darkness outside the door. In front of him was a flat wasteland, and in the distance he could see a majestic and towering city.

He stepped back.

"How come the Ghost Inn is near this magical city?"

But at this moment, the door of the room on the second floor facing the stairs suddenly opened, and a figure walked out.

That room... Li Daoxuan remembered that it was the place where the ghost innkeeper lived before.

But now, the person who walked out turned out to be an acquaintance.

He smiled and said, "Why? Of course I asked it to be moved here."
