I don't know if it's because Li Daoxuan is in this ghost inn, the ghosts who were originally noisy and struggling to get out of the guest room are all moving at the moment.

He just stood in the middle of the first floor, looking up at the abrupt guest room on the fourth floor.

He thought for a moment and looked at the headless bride in front of him.

"You, go up to the fourth floor and have a look!"

There is free path-finding labor, and there is no need to use it in vain.

The headless bride didn't move, just got a little blood on her neck and began to write in the void.

Li Daoxuan originally wanted to see what kind of flowers she could write, but he didn't think about it......

Headless Bride: "Huh. ”

Seeing these two words, Li Daoxuan immediately stabbed him with a pig-killing knife, but before his knife could stab into the body of the headless bride.

The latter has already dissipated into the realm.

Born from dreams, live with dreams.

The other party is obviously in his own field, but he can't do anything about her, which really makes Li Daoxuan a little powerless.

Since the headless bride is reluctant to go, she can only go and see it herself.

The field spreads upwards and converges into a straight line.

In an instant, Li Daoxuan arrived on the fourth floor...... Well?

At that moment, Li Daoxuan had already seen the door of the guest room on the fourth floor, but when he reacted, he found that he was at the staircase leading from the third floor to the fourth floor.

So here's ......

He looked back at the fourth floor, he was a little unconvinced, and once again he took a step out of the realm, seeing that he had already reached the door of the fourth floor, but in a blink of an eye he returned to the staircase.

In this way, even if he doesn't use the panel prompt, he knows what's going on.

It's not that the fourth floor is alone in another space, but that the fourth floor is surrounded by a ...... The prohibitions of the world are wrapped.

Looking at the mysterious staircase leading to the fourth floor, Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry to go up.

Instead, he took out a paper figure from Sumeru and explored the paper figure.

It was the one who was suppressed in the Red Lantern Workshop before, and it was later made by Tian Cai.

Li Daoxuan threw it on the ground, and the paper figure suddenly came to life, and he had a corresponding line of sight.

He manipulated the paper figure and jumped up the stairs one by one.

At first, it looked the same as the rest of the stairs, but when I finished jumping this section and turned around to another staircase.

The connection between him and the paper man was severed with a "snap".

Interesting...... This time, Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate any longer, and directly stepped over this section of stairs and came to the corner.

He could also clearly feel as if he had passed through a film, and with his nod, the paper figure was at his feet.

It's just urging but can't be urging, obviously the secular prohibition here has a suppressive effect.

Li Daoxuan put it away and immediately stretched out the field.

The black mist spread out from his body, and in the blink of an eye, Li Daoxuan felt a feeling of hunger.

He read the book "The Complete Solution of the Domain" given by Qiu Wuming, and knew that this was because the domain was used too many times in a short period of time, and the domain was facing a recovery, so if it was forcibly used, it would be used again...... The consequence may be that you are going to be gone.

Li Daoxuan just wanted to put the field away, but found that the headless bride actually walked out by herself.

And in turn, it opened up her field.

A dense purple light emanated from his body, enveloping the surrounding area of three or four meters, and also enveloping Li Daoxuan.

But he didn't feel anything unusual, that is, the headless bride didn't use the realm to pollute him.

Compared with being downstairs before, Li Daoxuan felt the effect of her domain this time...... I can even feel that there is some kind of special connection between each other.

The field effect of the headless bride is...... Hunger!

Once polluted by her realm, the whole person will become extremely hungry, and will only eat like crazy until he ...... Hold on!

The headless bride's realm is covered, and she walked in front of Li Daoxuan without giving up, one person and one ghost, one after the other, and came to the fourth floor.

It's empty, there is a walkway on the left and right, there are no guardrails, and if you are not careful, you will risk falling from here.

On the left side of the hallway is where the guest room is located, and on the right side is the darkness that leads to nothingness, and I don't know exactly where I went.

Without feeling the danger, the headless bride disappeared on her own.

Li Daoxuan felt it a little and found that she had returned to her own seed.

You don't even need to agree to it yourself!

He had no choice but to walk to the left-hand side, towards the only guest room.

It was only when he climbed to the fourth floor that Li Daoxuan found that what he stepped on was no longer a wooden floor, but a solid dirt floor.

The rooms are pitch black, without the slightest door or window.

It was only when he arrived here that Li Daoxuan finally saw what the fourth floor looked like.

All of this construction is a huge ...... Coffin!

The four corners above are the coffin lids, and the four walls in front of you are the coffin itself.

No, it doesn't seem to be a wall either.

He reached out and touched it, as if it was a hardwood, and as soon as his hand touched it, he touched a layer of slippery and greasy substance.

When he closed his hand, there was already an extra layer of slimy black paint on his hand, but fortunately, there was still a layer of human skin on his hand to block pollution, and he didn't care.

I just know that this wall can't be touched casually.

Immediately, he walked a few more steps, and finally came to the front of the door, and the seal on the door was clearly visible, and it was not the two white strips that Li Daoxuan had seen downstairs before.

On the top of the white bar, there are runes outlined in cinnabar or blood.

Li Daoxuan stared at it for a while, and finally saw the words from these runes, which were all variations of the word "death".

What are you doing with this thing, scaring kids...... Li Daoxuan reached out and pushed the wooden door without any scruples.

"Bang-" sounded.

The wooden door was not fully opened, but only a slit was opened.

Li Daoxuan also took this opportunity to see that this door was locked from the inside.

Is this store committing suicide by locking itself in?

Seeing this, he had to open a trace of the field again, and the black mist poured in from the middle of the gap, but the result was like a mud cow into the sea.

Behind this door, it seems to be another world.

After entering the realm, they didn't have the slightest perception at all.

Li Daoxuan had no choice but to put it away, and then took a step back, ready to break the door violently, but suddenly, he thought of something.

He remembered that he seemed to have a common art...... Piercing the wall?

With the attitude of giving it a try, he came to this door, directly performed a secular technique, and immediately touched this gate with his hand, and found that he could really pass through it smoothly and unimpeded.

Can it really be?

After groping behind the door for a while, he found the chain that bolted the door, and with a little force up, he pulled it open.

But at this moment, Li Daoxuan felt that his hand was cold, as if a cold ghost hand was caressing the back of his hand.

He was so frightened that he instantly shrank back.

But as the chains of the bolt door were removed, the closed black door finally opened.

The two white seals attached to it were immediately torn, and Li Daoxuan stood at the door and watched the situation inside.

It's dark, it's deep, and you can't see anything else.

This door is like a huge mouth of a powerful ghost, waiting for Li Daoxuan to enter.

But it's all here, if you don't go in to see what is going on, Li Daoxuan really can't swallow this breath.

Not only that, but he could even feel the headless bride in the seeds in his body, and there was also a touch, she wanted to come out?

She wants to go in here too?

Heh, I didn't come out when I asked you to come out before, but now I want to come out? Dream your dreams and go.

Li Daoxuan immediately stepped over the threshold and came to the guest room that looked like a coffin.

But what caught his eye immediately was a row of guest rooms, no, it should be two rows!

The outer frame and the inner rooms are arranged in a hollow shape, and in the middle is a circular corridor.

So...... What about the shopkeeper of the Ghost Inn?

Is it possible to make it happen in these rooms, and you have to find them one by one?

After a little hesitation, just as Li Daoxuan was about to shout a few words, he suddenly heard footsteps.

It's light, right on his diagonal position.

Blocked by these guest rooms, Li Daoxuan thought of the cold ghost hand that touched him when he opened the door just now.

Li Daoxuan strode over, and the main thing was a recklessness.

But when he reached the opposite corner on the other side, he heard the footsteps go in the other direction.

This ghost is deliberately hiding from himself, hiding from cats?

Li Daoxuan tried to return to his original position again, but the ghost also returned to his original position.

The headless bride in her body was touched again, she wanted to come out, but Li Daoxuan ignored it.

He didn't go to the ghost on the other side again, since the other party was timid, it was probably not a Class A evil spirit.

Li Daoxuan came to the guest room closest to him, and the door also had a door number on it.

"A one."

"Knock knock—"

Li Daoxuan tried to knock on the door, but there was no response inside, and he was about to push it open, when text appeared on the panel.

[When you enter the door, the greedy pig killer has already provoked the curse, you only have one chance to open the door, if you can't find the ghost innkeeper once, you will face death, please choose carefully.] 】

Li Daoxuan: "??? ”

So the seal on the door is a curse?

Damn it!

I didn't even say it on this panel for a long time, but I didn't say it until I came in...... Li Daoxuan silently withdrew his right hand that had been stretched out.

He thought of something again, and immediately stretched out a trace of the field, and released the headless bride.

As soon as the latter appeared, he wrote in the air: "This door cannot be entered." ”

The corners of Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched, "I know now." ”

With that, he looked to the door...... Where's the door?!

I saw that the gate, which had been sealed with chains, was now nowhere to be seen, and it was completely integrated with the surrounding walls.

Li Daoxuan stepped forward, touched it, and then used his wall piercing hand to touch it outside, but he didn't find the switch.

The headless bride wrote in blood, "This door cannot be entered." ”

"I know ...... too"

Li Daoxuan already had a trace of regret, regretting that he had come to say everything...... As a result, it's really coming, so don't go?

"You go over there, I'll go over here, and get that ghost out there!"

Lee quickly changed his mind.

This time, the headless bride listened to him and walked directly to that side, while Li Daoxuan went around to the other side.

One person and one ghost, each on their own side, so that the cowards hiding on the opposite side have nowhere to escape.

Before Li Daoxuan even reached this corner, he heard a ghost cry from the other side.

"Ouch, ouch."

How can there be a hint of familiarity in this voice?

Li Daoxuan was a little surprised, and then he heard a shout.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, isn't it you?"

"It's me, it's me, your uncle, ouch, stop this ghost."

Uncle?

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he remembered a long-lost voice, the molting ghost he met in the red lantern workshop!

"Stop, he's my brother-in-law."

The molting ghost's voice was already a little weak.

Li Daoxuan ran across the aisle in a few steps, and came directly to the opposite corner, and really saw the headless bride pinching a thin ghost with one hand.

Its body was clumsy, its eyes were sunken, and it was wrapped in a tattered linen cloth, which was as miserable as it could be.

And his face is the eldest brother that Li Daoxuan recognized before.

"Let him go."

Li Daoxuan said to the headless female ghost.

With his opening, the headless female ghost finally let go of her hand, and the molting ghost fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, she regained her strength.

Li Daoxuan stepped forward to help him up, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and said with concern: "Brother, aren't you leaving?" How did you get into this ghost inn, and you came to the fourth floor. ”

"That's a long story."

The molt got up and leaned against the wall, sighing.

"Then you'll make a long story short."

"Uh...... Anyway, I was walking outside, and suddenly I was caught in this ghost inn, and then I followed the shopkeeper again. ”

After the molting ghost finished speaking, he said: "Strictly speaking, this fourth floor is no longer in the ghost inn, so you don't have to smile all the time." ”

"Oh."

Li Daoxuan then put away and rubbed his face, which was a little stiff because he kept smiling, "When were you caught by him?" ”

"I'm afraid it's been more than a month, and I can't remember the specifics, I don't know how long I've been here."

The molting ghost looked around, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

"He told you to stay here?"

"Well, he told me to wait here for him to come out."

"So...... What room is he in? Lee asked the most important question.

"He told me before he went in, no matter who it was, no matter what happened, he must not tell him where he was, he said he would wait for him to come out himself. ”

"Huh?"

Li Daoxuan looked at him, with a hint of caution in his eyes, if this is the case, he has to reconsider his relationship with this eldest brother.

"I also know the curse outside the door, so brother-in-law, don't panic, I'll definitely tell you which room he is."

The molting ghost said very heartily.

He understands Li Daoxuan's personality, and if the answer is a little bad at this time, I'm afraid he doesn't have to wait for the shopkeeper to come out.

As for the relationship between the eldest brother.

How much is it worth?

Li Daoxuan was also relieved when he heard this, "It's still my eldest brother who is good to me." ”

After saying that, he patted the molten ghost on the shoulder, and looked back at the rooms, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

"How can the shopkeeper of this ghost inn be so good, he built a coffin and packed himself up."

The molting ghost sighed, "That's a long story...... Uh, I said, I said. ”

The headless bride was not in a hurry to go back this time, but stopped where she was, obviously curious about it.

"It was about five or six days after I came, and for the first five or six days, I had been following the shopkeeper, and I was also cleaning the inn on weekdays, and then I was responsible for reinforcing the door locks until that day......

"I didn't see the shopkeeper that morning, and when I saw him again in the afternoon, he seemed to have changed into a ghost, and he asked me to go out and find him a believer from Shanhehuang City, and it was best to find a disciple-level believer."

"I asked him what was wrong, and he said he was going to build a fourth floor on top of the inn."

"When I asked again, he gave me a slap in the face."

Saying that, the molting ghost also touched his face, "I found someone for him, and I don't know what they discussed, I only heard the believer refuse several times, and then the shopkeeper increased the price, and the other party agreed." ”

"Then in the eleventh or twelfth day, the believers of this Shanhehuang City built the fourth floor, and the shopkeeper was in charge all the time, and he didn't even let me get close."

"It wasn't until the day the fortification was completed that he suddenly came to me and told me to accompany him to the fourth floor, and I naturally couldn't resist, but I didn't know until I came here...... There is also a ghost. ”

"Dream Maker?" Li Daoxuan asked.

The molting ghost nodded, and immediately reacted again, "Brother-in-law, what are you ...... Are you? ”

"It's okay, the dream ghost has been taken down by me, you go on."

The Molting Ghost became more and more glad for his choice, "I learned from here that the shopkeeper built this fourth floor because the Dream Ghost wanted to create a dream for him. ”

"What dream?"

"I don't know, but it didn't take long for the dreamer to enter that room, and the shopkeeper asked me to keep watch at the door until he came out, and no one or ghost could reveal his location when he came in."

"I'll be here until you, brother-in-law, come."

Li Daoxuan frowned after hearing this, "Why did he let the dream ghost create this dream for him?" ”

"This ...... I don't know. The molting ghost told the truth, and his expression became a little ugly, and he was worried that if he couldn't answer Li Daoxuan's question, there would be a disaster.

But Li Daoxuan got up and looked back at the labeled guest rooms.

The molting ghost knew that the opportunity to perform had come, so he immediately followed, led Li Daoxuan to the [B 3] room on the other side, and said firmly:

"Brother-in-law, the shopkeeper is here!"

Li Daoxuan squinted at him and didn't speak.

The molting ghost continued: "Brother-in-law, you have to believe me, we are our own people. ”

"You saw him go into this room?" Li Daoxuan asked.

The Molting Ghost nodded earnestly.

Li Daoxuan said expressionlessly: "Uncle, why do you think that the innkeeper will trust you so much?" ”

"And you don't want to think about why he asked you to come here if he really wanted you to keep it a secret? Just don't tell you about it. ”

Or ...... Only the dead can keep secrets. ”

When the molting ghost heard this, he subconsciously took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, only to stop.

Li Daoxuan no longer looked at him, but instead looked at these house numbers.

The headless bride followed, blood streaming from her severed neck, and suddenly, she raised her hand and pointed at the one in front of her.

Signaling that the shopkeeper of the ghost inn was inside.

And that room, which happens to be next door to the room that the molt is referring to, is labeled [B4].

Li Daoxuan looked at her suspiciously.

The latter did not explain, but kicked the wooden door open.

Behind the door.

A human face with an eerie smile was hanging from the wall, looking at the doorway.

He...... Sure enough, his eyes were out of focus, staring blankly ahead, apparently still immersed in his dreams.

Li Daoxuan walked up to him.

A knife.
