Chapter 179: December 28
Li Daoxuan felt more and more that he was becoming more and more like a real [thief].
Possessing stealth, squinting, stealing and other basic common skills for the time being, after using thousands of miles, you can steal an unlimited number of times.
And that's before!
What now?
I saw Li Daoxuan put his left hand on the door of the room and gestured slightly, and then tentatively stretched out his left hand...... And his left hand passed through the door.
Then there was a "click", and the door that was originally locked was opened by him from the inside.
Vulgar art - wall piercing hands.
Looking at the retracted left hand, Li Daoxuan shook his head secretly, stealing is not my wish, it is really too cool.
"So sometimes, the key is not everything...... But you can't do without a key! ”
Li Daoxuan, who had just walked into the house, took down a bunch of keys from the wall next to the door, and the "jingle bell" sounded.
He took a cursory look and saw that there were at least eleven or twelve keys here!
And these keys are the same as the keys to the house he owns, and they are the keys to the guest rooms of this ghost inn.
If these rooms are empty...... That's the big money.
A decoon room with a face and a ghost has already benefited Li Daoxuan a lot.
If there are so many ghosts again, Li Daoxuan feels that as long as he doesn't go to Divine Witch City, other places will be enough for him to go sideways!
"Let's see if there's anything else."
Li Daoxuan admonished, and he also looked at everything around him.
This room is a little different from the other rooms on the second floor, there is no other structure, just a separate room.
There was no bed in the room, but there was a table on the side of the door, and on the other side of the door...... There was a wood stove.
The difference between the coffin-like stove in the kitchen on the first floor is that this stove seems to be really just an ordinary firewood stove in people's homes.
Even the iron pot is on top.
Li Daoxuan walked over to take a look and found that there was no ash in the stove.
It's as clean as if a fire had never been lit.
"Do you know what this does?"
Li Daoxuan asked the molting ghost.
"I don't know ......," the molting ghost finally didn't say that he wouldn't cook and eat in his room.
"Did it already exist before, or did you build it together when you asked the believers of Shanhehuang City to build the fourth floor?"
"This should have been there for a long time, I didn't see him say that he wanted to make a stove in the room."
The molt knows this.
"Hmm."
Li Daoxuan carefully checked again, but did not find any other filth or clues related to the stove in this room, so he had no choice but to retreat.
The second and third floors of this ghost inn combined, I am afraid that there are dozens of rooms.
But the shopkeeper of this ghost inn only has twelve keys on him, which is also normal, after all, he has already said it.
These keys are scattered all over the place, and they are not in order.
Fortunately, these keys are also marked on them, corresponding to their respective rooms, and Li Daoxuan first found the key corresponding to the room of the shopkeeper of the ghost inn.
The house number is [壬辰].
After locking the door, he took the set of keys and went to the door.
It turned out that seven of the remaining eleven rooms had locked doors, which meant that there were ghosts in the area.
There are only four empty rooms, which means that Li Daoxuan can only control four more ghosts left.
But that's pretty good.
After all, the original ghost innkeeper only offered three keys, which made Li Daoxuan forget to die to fight for him.
"Sure enough, it's better to kill ghosts and set fire to the gold belt than to work for others yourself."
Li Daoxuan was already thinking about how to distribute these four keys, first of all, the molting ghost...... Too weak, not too good.
The headless bride Zhou Yaya is okay, but now she doesn't even know what is going on with her, let alone sending her into the room.
The rest of ...... I can only look at it again, and if I find the right one, I will send it in.
And the most important thing now is to go back to Hand Witch City as soon as possible.
I've been dreaming here for so long, and I've been delayed for so long after waking up, if I don't feel it...... Li Daoxuan even thought that the second tide was almost over.
Exited from the room.
Li Daoxuan looked at the molten ghost who was following him.
"Uncle, do you have any arrangements next?"
As soon as the molting ghost heard this, he naturally understood that his brother-in-law had probably arranged it for him, so he immediately shook his head and said:
"There's nothing to do, it's dangerous in the wilderness, I don't even know where to go...... Brother-in-law, do you have any suggestions? ”
Li Daoxuan said bluntly: "I want to watch this ghost inn for me for a while, and now I can't be separated, and there are so many weird and ...... here."
But even those ghosts in the guest room, Li Daoxuan didn't know what to do.
Those doors are locked, and it is obvious that the keys are already in possession, but in this long era, who knows where these keys have gone?
I don't even know which era these ghosts are from.
It's just trapped in this ghost inn.
Now that the ghost inn has no owner, Li Daoxuan is even worried that they will escape.
"That's fine, it's just me...... My strength brother-in-law, you also know, it's okay to stay here, but you have to take care of ......"
The molt is a little embarrassed, or more straightforward.
He was afraid of death.
"You don't have to worry about this, I often come over to take a look, and if you really meet something you can't solve, you just run, there's no need to die here." Lee Do-hyun didn't have the idea of embarrassing the molting ghost.
"Okay, that's fine."
The molt nodded, as if breathing a sigh of relief.
"Then it's going to be a trouble for my uncle here."
After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he took out the key to the [癸卯] room he had at the beginning, and urged, and a void path appeared in front of him.
He walked into it until he disappeared.
After he left, the molting ghost, who had been smiling all the time, also put away the smile on his face, but after a while, he looked at the huge ghost inn and the many guest rooms.
But he laughed again.
Immediately, the ghosts living in the guest room seemed to notice Li Daoxuan's departure, and began to be restless again.
……
It's a clear day.
The entire Hand Witch City was filled with joy, as soon as there was a Li City Lord in the city, and since then, the people have never seen evil spirits in the city.
Although the outside of the city is still extremely dangerous, they finally have a place to take refuge.
After the news came out, the people who were lucky enough to survive outside the city also moved into the city.
And after the incident in Hand Witch City, the people suffered heavy casualties, and now in the past few months, there is finally a hint of recovery.
The second is ...... The end of the year is approaching.
The people who have experienced a troubled era have also been open to spending money, anyway, this thing is not brought to life or death, and now they are not saving it anymore.
Therefore, this Chinese New Year's Eve in Hand Witch City is far more lively than in the previous ten years.
People came and went on the streets, red lanterns were hung high, and all the people also took out their handiwork.
In front of every house, there are joyful couplets.
The faces of the people were all smiles.
But at the same time, in the City Lord's Mansion of Hand Witch City, the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"It's already December twenty-eight, Brother Li is going...... Fang Jie scratched his hair irritably, "I should have gone together if I knew it!" ”
"It's too late to say anything."
Zhou Su's face was also a little heavy, "Zhu Ye has already sent people to look around, and at present, news has come back from Treasure Dirty City and Ghost Cave City, and there has been no smiling inn in the territory." ”
"I'm afraid that this ghost inn will be transferred to the Dancing Girl City or the Shogunate City, and that will be troublesome."
Bai Jun lay on the side and stuffed the osmanthus cake into his mouth.
"I said you two are in a hurry, I am all fine, it means that the master is not dead, just a little trouble."
"We just have to do what we have to do."
Zhou Xu glanced at her and raised his head slightly, "I have already arranged all the worldly prohibitions in the city, and now even if there is a Class A evil cult outside the city attacking the city, it will take a lot of effort to break it." ”
Bai Jun gave a thumbs up.
"Miss Zhou is mighty."
"It's really good." A familiar voice sounded out of thin air, followed by a pitch-black corridor.
The three of them quickly stood up.
"Brother Li."
"Master."
"Lee Do-hyun!"
A tall figure in a black robe stepped out of the dark path, with an irrepressible smile and joy on his face.
The line of the Smiley Inn is dangerous, and it is not small.
There are also many accidents.
But fortunately, the harvest is also very rewarding.
Whether it's the smiling mask in charge of the ghost inn, or the ghost hand after fusion, and the keys to the four empty rooms.
Even the extra headless bride in the realm can be counted as part of the harvest.
Li Daoxuan walked out of it, and the path behind him disappeared on its own.
"Brother Li, what have you experienced at the Smiling Face Inn, why have you been delayed for so long." Fang Jie was really a little frightened.
Now the entire team, including Zhu Ye and Hu Yue, is based on Li Daoxuan.
If he says how to do it, then do it.
So Fang Jie didn't dare to imagine what he would do after Li Daoxuan was lost in the team...... But fortunately, Li Daoxuan came back safely.
Zhou Su's frowning brows were also unconsciously stretched, but she didn't say anything, she looked at Bai Jun on the side with a relaxed expression.
But it turned out that Bai Jun had already come to Li Daoxuan's side, and sniffed the tip of his nose.
"Master, you have other ghosts on you, are you raising other female ghosts outside?" Bai Jun frowned and said, as if he didn't like it.
Fang Jie, who was still beside Li Daoxuan, instantly took a step back, and he looked at Zhou Xu again.
He wondered if he should go, because the content of the conversation seemed to have changed from business to ...... Housekeeping?
"...... on you"
Zhou Xu also seemed to see a little problem, and the brows that had just been stretched out were wrinkled again.
"It's not that I raised other female ghosts outside, it's that I raised other female ghosts."
Li Daoxuan's expression was determined, and the words he said made Bai Jun a little surprised.
Li Daoxuan didn't explain too much, but immediately stretched out the field, and black mist poured out from his body, permeating the room.
"Your field seems to have an extra layer of effect."
This was said by Zhou Xu.
"Master, you're in this realm...... There's something, you come out for me! ”
Bai Jun said and pushed it out with a palm, and then the headless bride was pushed out of Li Daoxuan's domain by her.
Since Zhou Yaya has come out, Li Daoxuan has also put away the field.
Unexpectedly, as his realm was retracted, an unfamiliar voice sounded in this room.
"Is that you? Winter and Spring Official ...... White-sama! ”
A crisp voice rang out in the room.
Li Daoxuan immediately looked at the headless bride in front of him, because she was the only one who was present to speak.
So she's talking?
And do you know Bai Jun?
Li Daoxuan was surprised and turned his gaze to Bai Jun, only to find that she was also surprised.
But Rao was like this, she still glanced at Li Daoxuan first, and then asked tentatively: "Are you ...... Married official Zhou's family, Miss Zhou? ”
"It's me, it's me."
The headless bride's voice sounded a little excited, "Why are you here, I heard my father say that you have been feathered." ”
"It's a long story, but it's about the same as feathering, it's just that you're here in this ninth-rate world, what about you? I remember when I saw you, you were still a little girl, what do you think of you now......"
What Bai Jun didn't say was that she felt that the Miss Zhou in front of her had a story at first glance.
Especially her head.
Judging from the wound on the neck, it was not cut with one knife, but it was divided into many knives, and one by one chopped, which was successfully cut off.
When Zhou Yaya heard this, her neck, which was originally a blurred of flesh and blood, was pouring out a pile of blood at this moment.
Fang Jie and Zhou Su subconsciously took a few steps back.
Blood flowed down her body, staining the white dress red with blood a little red, and a few drops of blood fell to the ground.
In just an instant, a large piece of the surrounding floor tiles were corroded and melted by this blood.
The smell of blood wafted in this living room, and Li Daoxuan just smelled a little blood, and he felt that the qi and blood in his body were boiling, and there was a trace of violence in his heart.
This blood is weird!
And the problem is not small.
Zhou Yaya naturally knew that her realm swept over, and the smell of blood in the house was swept away in an instant.
"I later disowned my family." Zhou Yaya said that it was very painful, and she saw that there was blood gushing out of her neck.
Bai Jun immediately said: "Then don't talk about this matter first, don't talk about it first." ”
Zhou Yaya suppressed her emotions at this time.
She slowly turned her body and looked at the few people around her, even if she had no head or eyes, Li Daoxuan and the others could feel her inquiring gaze.
Bai Jun glanced at Li Daoxuan again.
The latter nodded slightly.
After getting Li Daoxuan's approval, she opened her mouth and introduced: "This is my current master, Li Daoxuan, who is also the reincarnation of the Middle Ninth Stream World. ”
"This is Zhou Su, who is also a reincarnated person, but it is from the Wei State."
"And this is Fang Jie, an apprentice I accepted in the Lower Ninth Rank World."
Zhou Yaya finished "looking" at a few people, and finally turned to Li Daoxuan, as if she was looking at him.
If there was a head, she should have just glanced at it, and then looked at Bai Jun again.
"Lord Bai, you are an existence like you...... I didn't even dare to think that I recognized the master. ”
"Uh-huh."
Bai Jun didn't explain much, and the more he explained, the more confused it became.
Then Zhou Yaya looked at Zhou Su again, "Your Wei State and our Chu State are old rivals...... But in this ninth-rate world, there are so many scruples. ”
As for Fang Jie, she ignored it.
But it's okay, she ignores Fang Jie, Fang Jie will talk to herself.
"The State of Wei, the State of Chu...... What is that? ”
This is a title that Fang Jie has never heard before, "Could it be the same as our lower ninth-rate world, the name of the city?" ”
Zhou Xu explained coldly: "That's a country, you can understand that dozens or hundreds of cities are ruled by a country, and the one who rules these cities is the country, and Wei and Chu are the country names." ”
"Oh, it's the same as Witch City."
Knowledge is limited, and Fang Jie can only be exchanged for something he can understand.
Zhou did not explain the gap between the two.
"This ...... Then Brother Li, what country are you from? Fang Jie has always been curious about Li Daoxuan's identity.
And the information revealed by Zhou Su and Bai Jun today also shocked Li Daoxuan's heart.
He always thought that there was no such thing as a country in this world, but he didn't expect it to exist in the middle and ninth-rate world.
The lower ninth-rate world is a separate city, while the middle ninth-rate world has a state-like structure.
So can it be understood that the middle and ninth-rate world has developed into a feudal society?
And what about the more distant Upper Ninth-rate world?
Li Daoxuan felt that he would only know if he went up to see it himself.
It's just that there are Chu and Wei in this ninth-rate world, and are there any other countries...... Li Daoxuan didn't know either.
So he could only say: "I am also from the Wei State." ”
Anyway, I don't know or know for sure, just report the country casually.
"What? You are also from our Wei country? ”
Zhou Xu, who has always been plain and indifferent, exclaimed like a girl at this moment, and her eyes when she looked at Li Daoxuan were also much warmer and kinder.
"Hmm."
Li Daoxuan sighed in his heart, but on the surface, he was plain as usual.
"Which city are you from Wei State, I am from Weiyang City of Wei State, not far from the Imperial City."
After getting Li Daoxuan's confirmation, Zhou Xu had a feeling of meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country.
"Let's talk about this when we're free."
Li Daoxuan didn't get any more information, so he could only drag this question and not answer it first.
Bai Jun took the opportunity to say to Li Daoxuan: "Master, then I'll take her to the next door to talk first?" ”
"Okay."
Zhou Yaya didn't want to say something in front of everyone, but in the face of Bai Jun, she should be able to say it.
And Li Daoxuan also wants to know what her situation is and why she can always exist in her own field.
Bai Junxuan led the headless bride to the living room next door.
Li Daoxuan finally sat down and asked, "Okay, you two tell me what the situation is in Hand Witch City now." ”
"Also, what day is it?"
In the past, it was Fang Jie who answered Li Daoxuan's questions, but today Zhou Su was unusual, and replied:
"I have already arranged a secular prohibition for our Hand Witch City, the kind that can stop the first-class evil spirits, and envelop the whole city, plus there is Huyue in charge, so the current Hand Witch City can be said to be as stable as a mountain."
"Today is December 28th."
"What? So fast? Then the day when the second tide arrives...... Isn't it the day after tomorrow? ”
Li Daoxuan said, touching the stubble on his chin, "I've been at the ghost inn for so long." ”
Fang Jie looked at Zhou Su beside him in astonishment.
He only felt that today's Sister Zhou made him feel.
It's very unfamiliar.
Spoiler the chapter name of the next chapter: "The Second Tide That Finally Arrived"
Almost 600,000 words are written to the second tide, and the setting on the outline is exactly the same!
The control is still very stable~
