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

"explain."

Li Daoxuan's face was expressionless and he was mentally prepared.

Zhu Ye, who had inquired about the news in advance, seemed very anxious. He knew the strength of Li Daoxuan and others.

But even if he knew it, he still looked like this.

It shows that this matter... is not trivial.

It made him feel that he might even be a threat to Li Daoxuan and others.

"There is something evil happening in Huangjia Town!"

Li Daoxuan, who had just sat down, nodded. He had guessed this... he was probably very evil.

"Class A? Is there a field?"

Fang Jie asked.

Zhu Ye, who was standing in the field, nodded and swallowed, "According to the news from Shenwu City, in Huangjia Town, there was Tai Sui first, and many grain eaters swarmed in, and then a Grade A outbreak broke out. Evil incident."

"Now the Divine Witch City has sent witch envoys to seal off that area, but they want us to go there to hold meetings..."

"What are the plans of the Divine Witch City?"

Zhu Ye looked around, he was really anxious.

Fang Jie touched his chin and said: "For the discussion in Divine Witch City, not only the peak grain eaters from the five small towns around us will go there, but also the city lord of Divine Witch City will definitely come."

"This formation...what kind of Grade A evil spirits can't be eliminated?"

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem."

After completing the analysis, Fang Jie shook his head and continued: "As long as we go a little later, maybe by the time we get there, all the evil spirits will have been eliminated."

"That's true, and it makes some sense."

Zhou Xu then expressed his agreement.

"Is there any specific news about the Class A evil spirit?" Li Daoxuan looked at Zhu Ye and asked.

"Yes...but many of them, analyzed by my subordinates, are true and false. I can't be sure which one is true."

"It's okay, let's talk about it."

Zhu Ye nodded, reached out and pulled out three pieces of white paper from his sleeves, obviously he was well prepared.

He glanced at the first piece of white paper in his hand and said:

"The first theory is that the Class A evil spirit is a bell-ringing ghost. It is said to be the temple blessing of Huangjia Town. As long as he rings the bell, everyone who hears the bell will die immediately, and the domain can also make people fall into endless circles. depressed."

He pulled out the second piece of paper and pressed the first piece of paper under his hand.

"The second theory is that the ghost is still the temple blessing, but it is not the bell-ringing ghost, but a black dog crying at the grave... The temple blessing has a black dog in front of him.

Now that he has turned into an evil spirit after death, he wanders around Huangjia Town with his black dog. Anyone who encounters the supernatural black dog crying in the grave will also die. "

After speaking, Zhu Ye took out a third piece of paper and continued:

"The third theory is that the ghost is not the temple blessing at all, but another butcher, the butcher in Huangjia Town, who kills everyone he sees and is very vicious."

After finishing speaking on the three pieces of paper, Zhu Ye placed them in front of Li Daoxuan.

He glanced at it without looking further, "The news is quite mixed, but one thing is certain."

"There's more than one ghost?"

Fang Jie expressed his guess.

Li Dao

"The temple blessing and the butcher must both be ghosts. As for which one is the real Class A evil spirit, or which one is more sinister, you have to go and find out."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, Zhou Xu also looked at Zhu Ye and asked:

"Do you have any specific information about the supernatural phenomenon of black dogs crying in graves?"

Zhu Ye thought about it for a moment and said: "The rumor is that someone in Huangjia Town saw the temple priest and his black dog burning paper at a tomb on the roadside and crying... But it was actually the black dog who was crying... A dog is not a temple blessing."

"The person I bumped into died, and only a sixth-rate [watchman] escaped, so the news came out."

"Any precision?"

Li Daoxuan asked Zhou Xu.

The latter frowned slightly, "I don't know for the time being. I still have to go and see it to find out."

"Well, let's leave early. We have to go sooner or later anyway. It's just a Grade A evil spirit...he can't die."

Li Daoxuan rarely said something inspiring.

"Ah."

When Zhu Ye saw Li Daoxuan and the others, they stood up and said, "The horses and luggage are all ready. City Lord, please come with me."

Li Daoxuan nodded and took a step forward. Hu Yue was already guarding him.

"When we leave this time, the city will be left to you two."

"Yes."

"Don't worry, City Lord."

Looking at the two of them, Li Daoxuan can indeed rest assured that one is an expert in managing the city, the other can monitor the entire city, and has almost sixth-rate invincible strength.

As long as the river mother doesn't resurrect, or other Class A evil spirits suddenly attack.

In Shouwu City, it is indeed possible to temporarily bail out.

"Well, let's go."

Not long after, four fast horses left the city lord's mansion.

Zhu Ye and Hu Yue just stood guard at the door and watched them leave.

But to outsiders, they can only see Zhu Ye, but not Hu Yue, the city god.

Mortals are born with their heavenly eyes open and can see ghosts and gods. However, as age changes, the heavenly eyes close on their own. As long as ghosts and gods do not appear, it is difficult to see ghosts and gods.

Huyue closed his sleeves with both hands, still looking like the old god was there, with the fresh air and incense lingering in his sleeves.

He didn't look back, but he seemed to be able to detect Zhu Ye's expression, "Zhu Family Master, why do you seem... not very worried?"

He had seen Zhu Ye's anxiety when Li Daoxuan and the others were still there.

But now it seems from his calm face...it's all just a show.

"Worried?" Zhu Ye didn't look away until Li Daoxuan and the others could no longer see their backs. "You can worry about the dangers the city lord will experience, but you don't have to worry about his safety."

"Oh?"

Hu Yue, who had always been calm, lost his composure and turned to look at him in surprise.

Thoughts flashed through Zhu Ye's mind one by one, and he thought of the experiences of the monsters from past generations that he had read in history books.

I also thought of what Li Daoxuan had experienced since he left Puliu Town.

The danger is indeed there.

But every danger is an opportunity for Li Daoxuan to become stronger and a springboard for him.

"I will tell you about the past of the city lord when I have time, and you will know."

Hu Yue still didn't believe it, "Are you really not worried?"

Zhu Ye waved his hand and turned around and started to walk away, "Don't worry...because he is Li Daoxuan."

……

Exit the city through the north gate, and then follow the official road directly to Cave City.

Further north from Fengxue City is the location of Huangjia Town.

There are still many people coming and going in Shouwu City, especially now that the City God is here and there are no more evil spirits in the city.

But after leaving the city, there were almost no people on the official road.

There are not many ghosts.

However, I saw a lot of corpses in the tombs.

Three long days later, Li Daoxuan and others stopped to rest by a river. This river was called "Yanbo River" and was one of the tributaries of the Yaoying River.

It originates from the north of Fengxue City, flows through Fengxue City, and then flows into the Yaoying River.

It was still noon, so the horses were left aside and allowed to graze.

Zhou Xu and the other three gathered around the stone and ate dry food, while Li Daoxuan was walking around with a piece of cake as usual.

He couldn't eat this food without walking.

"This place should be where people rest all year round. The ground is bald from being stepped on... It looks a bit like the top of Zhu Ye's head, which is almost bald."

Fang Jie complained while eating.

"I can't stop your mouth even if I eat." Bai Jun rolled his eyes, not taking a bite, but his eyes always fell on Li Daoxuan.

"I haven't seen any bones here, but I'm not used to it..."

Fang Jie's voice rang in Li Daoxuan's ears, but he was too lazy to answer. He swallowed the last bite of the pancake in his hand and squatted down by the Yanbo River.

It is winter, there is no heavy rain, and the river water is quite clear.

Li Daoxuan first looked at the other side. Although it was not as wide as the Yaoying River that could not be seen at a glance, according to a rough estimate, it was probably about forty or fifty meters wide.

There are no boulders in the river and the water flow is smooth.

Li Daoxuan was just about to say that he didn't know if there were any fish in the river, but when he lowered his head again, he stood up suddenly.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Bai Jun, who had been staring at him, ran over in two steps, came to his side, lowered his head and followed his gaze.

The river was quiet, and there was no sign of anything supernatural.

Fang Jie and the other two also ran over, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Because they didn't see anything strange, but Li Daoxuan's performance just now was definitely not like this.

"Brother Li, you just were..."

Li Daoxuan's expression remained normal, "I just saw my... corpse in the river."

"Corpse? How is this possible? Brother Li, are you mistaken?" Fang Jie didn't believe in evil and even kicked a stone down.

The pebbles broke the water and caused ripples, but nothing else supernatural happened.

"Maybe so."

Li Daoxuan remembered that when he first arrived in Wu City, he had seen a similar scene in the water of the inn.

At that time, the panel gave a text prompt, and this time... it also did.

[You walked away from the mountains and rivers, and you saw your future reflected in the water surface of the tributary of the Shadow River. You will drown in the endless Shadow River and sink forever. Your survival points +3 (blue). 】

Pretty much the same language.

Same picture.

It shows that I didn't make a mistake just now.

Li Daoxuan became more and more worried. If he said other things were fine, he had to take the text prompts on the panel to heart.

Died in the Yaoying River... All Li Daoxuan could think of was that the river mother would revive next time.

Otherwise, he would have had almost no contact with the river.

Could it be said that the next time Hemu revives, she will be very powerful and will kill herself directly?

Li Daoxuan let out a long breath, feeling increasingly depressed. It seemed that he had to find a way to own his own domain as soon as possible.

For example... this trip to Huangjia Town.

Wherever there are Class A evil spirits, there is a domain.

Now that the seed is there, the body is also there, only the Devouring Domain is left to devour a real domain.

"somebody is coming."

Bai Jun suddenly spoke up.

"Ok?"

Li Daoxuan, who was awakened, also cheered up, alerted his surroundings, and looked back at the same time.

On the road they came from, a middle-aged man wearing gray linen clothes was walking slowly, with a bag on his back and a relaxed look on his face.

"Is it a human...?" Fang Jie asked in an uncertain tone.

"should be."

Li Daoxuan didn't feel the ghost energy on the other party, and then text popped up on the panel again.
