Learn one small skill every day

This instance is different from Abyss Street. Bai Miao can feel tired and hungry. If these feelings are not met for a long time, his mental and physical limits will be temporarily reduced.

It's worth noting that the reduction in mental strength caused by not sleeping is a reduction on top of Bai Miao's already doubled mental strength, so Bai Miao's original mental strength was not affected.

In other words, even if he goes without sleep for ten days, he will only lose 10 points of his maximum mental energy, and if he takes a break in between, it will be fully replenished.

For most people, going five days without sleep would drive them insane.

However, Bai Miao still had to face the problem of eating.

After a simple dinner, Bai Miao began discussing the purchase of dry food and water with the shopkeeper.

The money all came from the palace, so Bai Miao didn't care. Besides, the gold and silver weren't considered items by the system, so he couldn't take them out.

Finally, we purchased enough dry rations for twenty people for half a month.

It was 10 p.m., and after Ji Shaoqing went to sleep, Bai Miao and the others decided to take turns keeping watch.

There were four guest rooms on the second floor. Bai Miao shared a room with Eunuch Ding, Ji Shaoqing had a room by himself, and the other two men and two women each had a room.

The eunuchs and palace maids all slept in the hall on the first floor. The manager casually found some dry grass, and the eight of them lay down on it in a haphazard manner.

Congratulations on acquiring the skill: Lion Dance!

[Lion Dance LV1: You have mastered the skills of lion dancing and some taboos.]

At exactly midnight, Bai Miao drew the new skill.

It is also related to traditional customs.

The more Bai Miao saw that he had drawn this skill, the more worried he became about the road ahead.

Bai Miao is not afraid of monsters like those in the Abyss Street, nor is he afraid of ghosts and spirits.

What I fear most are those underworld things that are related to tradition.

That's why Chinese-style horror can instill a sense of dread in the Chinese people.

At this moment, it seems unavoidable?

Around one o'clock in the morning, the wind outside the post station seemed to be blowing even more fiercely.

"Bang bang... bang bang..."

The door rings rattled in the wind, as if someone was standing outside knocking.

"Hee hee hee……"

A clear, childlike laugh flashed past the door, but was clearly heard by Bai Miao, whose ears were sharp.

Bai Miao jolted awake and leaned against the railing on the second floor, a spot from which he could clearly see the lobby on the first floor and the corridor of the guest rooms on the second floor.

"Hee hee hee……"

Laughter erupted once again!

What the hell is that noise?!

Bai Miao put on the Moon's Splendor to ensure his mental energy was always at full strength, and also took out a fire talisman.

The 24-hour cooldown of Abyss Howl means its skill cannot be used recklessly at crucial moments; the only option is to use the talisman drawn by the King's Altar to deal with it first.

"Dengdengdeng..."

The sound of tiles rattling came from the rooftop, and the laughter was right above my head!

"Hehehe, do I look more like a human or a god?"

Seeking an official title?!

Bai Miao never expected that the first demon he encountered would be someone who came to ask for a title.

If a weasel that has been asked to be enfeoffed comes to you, and you say that he is like a god, you will suffer a strong karmic backlash. But if you say that he is like a human, then nothing will happen.

And it would also make this weasel owe him a favor.

Isn't this a coincidence?

"You look like a 143cm tall, blonde, flat-chested, arrogant, nine-tailed fox loli with beast ears."

Bai Miao felt refreshed after saying those words.

I never imagined I'd be able to recreate an online meme one day.

I just don't know if it will be effective.

"Boom!"

I heard a sound above my head indicating that something was changing.

"Pat-pat-pat-pat-pat..."

Then came the sound of bare feet stomping on the tiles.

Bai Miao waited quietly for the weasel's reaction, but all he received was a notification from the system.

[When in instances such as the Qingqiu Rebellion, the White Lotus Sentient Beings, and Raising Strange Immortals, you will receive support from the Yellow Immortal and will not be attacked by shamanic spirits.]

This……

So, I've succeeded?

Why didn't the person above react at all?

Just left like this?

Bai Miao felt it was a pity that he hadn't seen the weasel's transformed appearance with his own eyes.

However, the kindness I received was quite useful.

The term "Chuma Xian" likely refers to the five animals—fox, weasel, white fox, willow, and gray fox—that have cultivated themselves into immortals. In this world setting, it's indeed possible that someone might choose to borrow the power of these five immortals.

After the brief incident, around 2 PM, Bai Miao and Zhao Mengsheng switched shifts.

"Is everything alright? It's the first night, isn't it?"

Zhao Mengsheng looked like he hadn't slept well, and asked with concern.

"Just call me if you have any problems, I don't sleep very well."

"well."

Zhao Mengsheng sat on a small stool on the second floor, his eyes fixed intently on the people sleeping in the lobby of the post station.

Regarding the matter of requesting an official title, Bai Miao plans to inform them all of it tomorrow.

Hmm... except for Lin Yu.

Heaven knows if she'll be too talkative and tell Ji Shaoqing directly.

Bai Miao had already seen through her intention to curry favor with Ji Shaoqing.

The next day, as they set off, Bai Miao privately told the others about what had happened the previous night.

However, he modified his statement, only saying that he said she looked like a human.

Wang Tan clicked his tongue in amazement: "I never imagined that there really are people who seek titles in this world. It seems we have to be even more careful."

"Who among you is most knowledgeable about folk customs?"

Bai Miao has mastered a related skill in the real world: Funeral LV1.

Bai Miao, who can handle the entire process of "One Dragon" alone, is naturally very clear about the taboos that need to be observed.

The only problem is that his knowledge is too narrow; he doesn't know anything about other aspects of folklore.

Zhang Peng and Zhao Mengsheng both shook their heads, indicating that they had no knowledge of these things at all, and they had only just heard about the demand for a title.

Wang Tan said he knew a little bit.

However, his opinion remains that things in reality can only be used as a reference and should not be taken as absolute truth.

"Xiaolong, where are we going to stay today?"

Chen Dalong pointed to the road ahead and said, "Go about fifty miles ahead, there's a Buddhist temple. We'll stay there."

Buddhist temple?

Bai Miao prayed that this Buddhist temple was a normal place.

The further away from the capital, the muddier the roads became, and the more scattered villages appeared.

The village was unusually quiet, with only occasional people opening their windows to cast wary glances at Bai Miao's convoy.

"Lin Yu talks too much, and there's a lot of what he says that I don't understand..."

Zhao Mengsheng seemed to be overwhelmed by the disturbance, and under the pretense of not sleeping well the night before, he secretly came to chat with Bai Miao.

"What did she say this time?"

She said you're very submissive and have a strong fatherly vibe, but what do those words mean...? I don't understand.

"Have you not gone to college yet?"

Bai Miao wondered if Zhao Mengsheng was some naive young lady who couldn't understand such a classic statement?

Or are we talking about the primitive people of the internet?

"How...how did you know?"

Do you usually go online?

"No, my family wouldn't let me use a smartphone. They only bought me one after I got into university... Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"It's okay... Just ignore her. We'll deal with any strange behavior she does later."

"Oh……"

At 3:20 p.m., Bai Miao saw a magnificent Buddhist temple appear in the distance ahead of the road.

However, upon seeing the Buddhist temple, Chen Dalong shouted and hurriedly got out of the car, running towards the temple entrance.

Bai Miao quickly instructed Wang Tan to follow and protect Chen Dalong's safety.

"what's the situation?"

"Chen Dalong said the Buddha has disappeared, so we have to spend the night outside..."
