When he walked out of the guest room No. 11, Jin An glanced at the old man Pasha with cold eyes.
At this time, the old man Pasha fell weakly to the floor of the corridor, lifeless.
All the life essence in his body had been absorbed by tenant No. 15 just now and used to heal his own injuries.
Although it was a pity that he hadn't had time to ask for more information, the map that led them to the Yin Tower of the Chen Family Ancestral Hall was already the biggest gain.
How can everything in life go as planned?
For him, sacrificing an old man Pasha, not only obtaining the map, but also allowing Shi Fifteen to recover from his injuries, was the biggest gain.
People.
You must keep a cool head at all times and don't be greedy for everything.
Didn't our ancestors have a saying: "Be content with what you have". People who worry about gains and losses will rarely achieve great things.
Fifteen is the name Jin An gave to tenant No. 15.
Holding a spiritual tablet in his hand, he was like Jin An mourning someone. When he appeared in the dark corridor, he decisively released Fifteen, letting the thick-skinned Fifteen stand at the front. Then, a group of four people began to walk towards the end of the deepest part of the corridor.
Go to a guest room.
Fifteen's huge and fat body crowded the entire corridor.
The size of this team has expanded again. From the initial team of three people and one mouse, it has expanded to four people and one mouse.
Next door to Room No. 11 with the word "Cheng" and Room 12 with the word "Sui" are guest rooms No. 13 with the word "Lü" and Room 14 with the word "LV". Both of these rooms have been sealed.
die.
Later, those who rebuilt the inn divided all the rooms in the inn into two types of rooms.
One is the evil room that is open to the public.
The other type is the kind-hearted guest rooms that still stick to their conscience. Although they were burned to death by the fire, they have not yet fallen. However, in the eyes of Xinlai Inn, these kind-minded guest rooms are sick guest rooms and must be sealed.
No outsiders are allowed to enter.
When the surroundings are filled with darkness and turbidity, light and clear currents become sins.
This is another layer of human heart that the ghost mother allows them to see.
"I have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of ghosts and gods living in my heart, nor am I afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night! Fifteen, they have persisted in opening these sealed guest rooms for so long. Today, let us bring their obsession with them.
Together with them, we will find the kind-hearted little girl back then!"
After Jin An finished speaking, Fifteen, who was bloated and thick-skinned, smashed the rooms No. 13 and No. 14 with an axe.
Surprisingly, the guest room was very peaceful, and no ghost was seen. The room was dark, cold, and pitch black.
Then, Jin An walked into the guest room with a clear conscience.
In his hand, he held lamp oil refined from the tenant's corpse oil to illuminate the room.
Because the inn had been renovated, there were no traces of the fire, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust. Apparently it had been sealed for a long time.
Holding lamp oil, Jin An looked around the dark and cold empty guest room. The next moment, he came to the table and lit a dusty candle, letting the candlelight shine on this place again, dispelling the desolation and bringing it back to the world.
temperature.
"I have experienced your suffering, and I know your suffering well. If you believe me, you will leave with us today." After finishing speaking, Jin An walked out of the guest room, then walked to another guest room and also lit a candle for these people.
The suffering victims bring light so that they will no longer see the light of day, and tell them that they have not been abandoned by justice in the world.
Perhaps because of his feelings, after walking out of the guest room, Jin An solemnly said to A Ping and the girl in red umbrella who had been following him unconditionally: "Let's go and release the other people who are imprisoned.
There will be a fierce battle down here, we can't beat the tenants in room 16, now we can save every one more."
Aping nodded heavily.
The red umbrella girl looked at Jin An and nodded lightly.
"Fifteen, you neither nodded nor made a sound, so I'll take it as your tacit agreement. Let's go, let's get everyone else out first, and then let us settle down with tenant No. 16 for the last time without any distractions!
"Although the real tenant No. 15 has been killed and Fifteen is now unconscious, Jin An still respectfully asked Fifteen.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the team's morale was high and they broke open the sealed guest rooms one by one.
boom!
boom!
boom!
In the inn, there were constant explosions and rumbling sounds.
Naturally, this kind of explosive and physical work is best suited to be left to the fifteen-year-old who is incredibly powerful and tireless.
It's just that these guest rooms all look the same, empty, old, and deserted, with not a single tenant showing up.
Jin An didn't care about this. Every time Shi Fifteen broke into a sealed guest room, he would light a candle in the room to bring warmth to the world, so that the victims in the inn back then still believed that there was true love and love in the world.
The warmth is there, telling them that they have not been abandoned in the dark corner forever, and that there are still four people and one mouse who care about them.
When they opened all the sealed guest rooms on the second floor, still no former tenants came out to see them.
Looking at the corridor that had been torn apart by the 15th Five-Year Plan, with big holes in the walls, and there was no one in the corridor, A Ping frowned and said: "Taoist Master Jin'an, we don't seem to have gained their trust. No one came out to see us.
?”
Jin An shook his head slightly: "Aping, even you have always been wary and resentful of outsiders, and no longer trust outsiders easily. These tenants have also suffered a lot of suffering, so we don't force too much, as long as we have a clear conscience,
Just do what you can.”
A Ping looked at Jin An gratefully: "If our family had not been lucky enough to meet Taoist Jin An, and if Taoist Jin An had not reached out to help us when we were most desperate, perhaps our family would have lived in despair forever.
Unable to extricate ourselves...We also want to thank the girl in red and the Gray Fairy for helping us."
A Ping looked gratefully at the red umbrella girl Zhizhao and the gray immortal squatting on Jin An's shoulders.
The little Gray Fairy squeaked arrogantly, making the corners of Jin An's mouth curl up slightly.
Jin An: "In life, we are all trying to overcome ourselves; everything is suffering, and we can only overcome it by ourselves. People have a long way to go in this life. They must experience birth, old age, illness and death, joys and sorrows, and some obstacles and knots. Others will never be able to help you. Only
Only when you learn to overcome yourself, to escape from the sea of ​​suffering, to escape from the shackles, and to escape from the shackles, can you keep looking forward. There is not much we can help you with. The main reason why you can get out of it so quickly is because you have overcome it yourself.
, you have tied the most difficult knot on your own."
…
…
The third floor of the inn.
Room No. 16 with the character "Yang".
When the four people and one mouse from Jin'an came back here again, their moods had changed slightly, and they felt relaxed and free from worries.
Everything they can do has been done.
There is no need to rescue everyone who falls into the water, as long as they have a clear conscience.
"Fifteen, open the door for me and let me see what kind of dragon and tiger's den are waiting for us in guest room No. 16!"
Roar! After Jin An finished speaking, a fierce corpse roar came from the corridor on the third floor. An iron ax smashed open the door, sawdust flew everywhere, and the door frame and masonry exploded.
There was no evil wind blowing as imagined.
There was no corpse odor as expected.
There is no gloomy and dark picture as imagined.
In the room, the candlelight is warm and bright. A kind-hearted old man is busy placing bowls and chopsticks on the table. There are several pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the square table. It seems that guests will arrive today and he has made a big table of sumptuous dishes.
The food is steaming hot and fragrant.
This scene made the four people and one mouse who had broken through the door and were about to exorcise the demon with murderous intent freeze at the door. The high-spirited fighting spirit that had been brewing for a long time outside the door was stagnated, and they were a little at a loss for a moment.
Jin An had already recognized the old man. He was the real innkeeper, the one who kindly took in the frail little girl in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.
This scene was so unexpected that he was stunned and couldn't react for a while.
The old man greeted him kindly and warmly outside the door: "Children are here. Why are you standing outside the door so uninvited? Come in and eat quickly. The food will be cold by the time."
The old man could see Jin An and the others, and this sumptuous meal was specially prepared by the old man for Jin An and the others.
The guests that the old man is waiting for are none other than Jin An and the others.
To be continued...
