97. House in power
The Du family has a great business and specially arranged a reception dinner in the evening.
There are no exquisite dishes in the countryside, but the food is rich in meat and wine.
Braised pork elbow, roasted suckling pig, whole roasted chicken, stewed goose, Xu DaZhang had diarrhea.
The next day Wang Qilin got up early as usual, with the Demon Sword in hand and a set of Taiyin Soul-Severing Swords in succession.
Du Meng was surprised when he saw it: "Master Wang, such a fast sword, what kind of sword technique is this?"
Although he lives in a small rural area, he also traveled around the world when he was young. His sharp eyesight is beyond ordinary people, and he can see the extraordinary power of the Taiyin Soul-Severing Sword at a glance.
There are two types of martial arts in the world. One is fist and kick kung fu and weapon routines, which ordinary people can practice. After practicing, you can strengthen your body and be able to deal with ordinary people, as well as lonely ghosts and little monsters.
The other type is mystical skills, which cannot be practiced by those who are not talented.
These mystical skills are extremely powerful. They do not leave the Five Elements or the Three Realms. Their behavior cannot escape the reincarnation of heaven. They are specially used to deal with evil spirits and ghosts.
At the beginning, Du Cao gave him the Bagua Soul-Returning Sword Technique as the first type, and the Taiyin Soul-Destroying Sword Technique as the second type.
Wang Qilin was polite and said that he was practicing blindly.
Du Meng is a veteran of the martial arts world and knows the dangers of being too curious.
Seeing that Wang Qilin didn't want to talk in depth, he simply said: "Master Wang's sword skills are extraordinary, but it seems that he doesn't have the corresponding internal strength to match it? If there are suitable internal skills to assist this sword skill, then Master Wang's strength will be unfathomable!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qilin became excited.
Internal strength is even rarer than sword skills. He wanted to ask more about it, but Du Meng smiled and ran away.
Are you willing to have a deep conversation now? Sorry, I don't want to. I am a family head after all, and I also have a bad temper.
After breakfast, Wang Qilin wanted to leave early, but Du Meng persuaded them to stay for lunch and said: "You took a long way yesterday. I will show you a short way. You can return to Jixiang County in half a day by taking this short way."
Wang Qilin was surprised: "Is there a shortcut? Why didn't I find out?"
Du Meng said: "This is a hilly path and it is not stable. Ordinary people dare not walk on it, but Mr. Wang has an unparalleled cultivation, so there is obviously no need to be afraid."
"But there is a ghost shop on the road called 'Don't Enter the Restaurant'. There are a few ghosts in the village who are nostalgic for the world of the sun. They have never harmed anyone, so if you encounter them, please show your respect and don't kill them. They are not evil.
ghost."
After eating again at noon, they took the map given by Du Meng and left the country road to enter a small road.
Xu Da ate too much and the yellow gelding suffered, so they could only walk for a while and rest.
After walking for almost two hours, the weather suddenly turned bad, the sun disappeared and the clouds hung in the sky.
Soon the clouds turned into black clouds.
Dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city!
Wang Qilin rode up a hill and looked around from a high position. Then he came back and said, "There are no villages or shops around, so let's go back. There was an inn at the intersection just now. Why don't we go to that inn tonight?"
Xie Toad said: "There is an inn in a barren mountain. Sir, I think that inn may be weird."
Wang Qilin said: "I think it's weird too, but it's probably the Do Not Disturb Restaurant. There are at most a few harmless little ghosts inside. Let's go and take shelter from the rain, so there won't be any conflicts."
Xu Da puffed up his chest and said, "It doesn't matter if it's weird or not, what are we afraid of? If there are ghosts, we'll kill them. If there are demons, we'll capture them. We'll listen to the Heavenly Prison when traveling. There are no taboos!"
A drizzle began to fall in the sky, and they could not hurry, so they had to hurry back to the inn at the intersection.
The name of the inn is interesting, it's called 'Dangdao House'. There are dozens of thatched houses nearby, it should be a small village.
Xu laughed and said: "The innkeeper is uneducated. What he wants to write about is the house that blocks the road, right?"
The words on the inn's plaque are twisted and twisted, like a dog crawling, so there may indeed be a typo.
Ba Meow looked out and started chanting Buddha's name again.
But Xu Dahan put on the ice beads and tried it. There was no yin energy and everything was normal.
At this time, a waiter came out to pick them up holding an oil-paper umbrella: "Please come in, sir. Please come in. Sit inside. It's raining hard. Be careful of getting wet."
The inn is not big but there are quite a lot of people, and the six tables inside are already half full.
The three of them sat down, and Xu shouted: "Second servant, bring me a pot of old wine and a fat chicken."
The waiter came over waving a towel and said: "Uncle, we have plenty of old wine. The fat chicken is not ready now. After all, it's not dinner time yet. How about a plate of cold dishes first? There are dried fragrant beans, salted edamame, and plain grilled beans.
Goose, pickled dieffenbachia..."
Just leave the meal to Xu Da, and Wang Qilin will only pay the bill.
He drank tea and asked Xie Toad: "Taoist Master, the hexagram you calculated at the beginning was really right. The Qin-Jin tribulation this time is related to the General's Mansion. We thought it was with the help of the General's Mansion's connections, but it was not. Do you still remember Wuji?"
Does the dragon in the pagoda have its hair hanging down?"
Xie Toad said: "Can the dragon sun and its young hair be able to withstand the catastrophe of Qin and Jin? Not necessarily."
Wang Qilin was surprised: "Can't you? I heard from Du Cao that Zhou Zhongsheng escaped by hiding in the general's mansion. Isn't there a dragon in the general's mansion who can be used?"
Xie Toad pondered for a while and said: "I guess he not only used Long Ri Chui Gong at that time, but also tried to find a way to make the Yin Hun confront the Qin and Jin tribulations. I am afraid that Long Ri Chui Gong alone would not be able to stop the Qin and Jin tribulations. Cause and effect
Zed is not that easy to deal with."
Wang Qilin nodded and said: "It makes sense. No wonder Zhou Zhongsheng still suffered heavy losses even though he escaped the disaster. He may have suffered a big loss at the hands of General Yinhun."
The wine and food were served. Xie Toad tried it and found that everything was normal. There was nothing wrong with the inn.
The three of them drank light wine and chatted. Later, the rain became heavier, and a few more passers-by came in. Slowly, all six tables were filled.
Wang Qilin had nothing to do, so he recited the dharma secrets silently and made hand seals to practice the Linzi mantra.
Later, Xu Da pushed him and winked upstairs. Wang Qilin turned around and saw a beautiful and charming young woman appearing on the stairs of the second floor.
The young woman has an oval face, rosy eyebrows and red lips, and is charming in every gesture. However, her brows are furrowed and her face is frightened, as if she is in trouble.
A waiter came up and pointed at the three of them, and the young woman hurried over with a look of joy on her face.
Xu Da suddenly sat upright and Xie Toad rolled his eyes: "When I was young, a wolf passed by and a dog sat in front of him."
The young woman came closer and saluted, and introduced herself: "Mr. Chai of the slave family has met three adults. Are these three adults on duty in the Tianjian?"
Xu Dadao: "Not bad, what can I do?"
Mrs. Chai bit her plump and bright red lips in embarrassment, and Xu Day changed from straightening his back to bending down.
"The three adults know clearly that this inn is owned by the slave family. It has been open on this road for some time and can barely make a living by relying on the merchants and travelers. But starting from the past two days, something strange happened to my inn.
well."
At this point she sighed, with a look of fear on her face.
Xu Da asked: "What strange thing happened? Tell me."
Mrs. Chai sat down with a sad face and said: "About four or five days ago, a guest got up at night and saw a few people sitting in the hall. He felt strange and wanted to say hello, but no one responded to him, and he could not even see these people.
man’s face, because everyone’s back is turned to him.”
"This guest traveled all over the country and had a lot of experience. He felt something was wrong, so he told me the next day. So I arranged for the clerk to go out for inspection at night. As a result, the clerk also bumped into these things. He couldn't see his face. They always turned their backs to people."
