After Xiao Lingxi and Yu Wenxuan carefully looked at the teahouse owner, they really saw something slightly different.
Maybe it can't be said that it was seen, but felt by the two of them.
The teahouse owner was surrounded by a faint spiritual power, and under the influence of this spiritual power, his entire body was almost surrounded by a layer of water mist invisible to the naked eye.
Xiao Lingxi and Yu Wenxuan looked at each other, and they finally reacted. The water mixed with the Jingxin Pill that disappeared from the teacup was gathered into Huangfuchen's hands. He only waited for the owner of the teahouse to approach, and then took the water mixed with the Jingxin Pill.
The water turned into an invisible mist, surrounding the teahouse owner.
Even Xiao Yifeng and Yu Wenxuan didn't notice Huangfuchen's little move, let alone the owner of the teahouse.
The water mist mixed with the Jingxin Pill will enter the teahouse owner's body with his breath. Although it cannot completely eliminate the influence of the evil spell on him, it is enough to dispel part of his fear.
The water mist continued to surround the teahouse owner. The longer the teahouse owner stood in front of them, the more relaxed his attitude became.
The teahouse owner was standing in front of the table, engaged in a battle between heaven and man. Ling Xuewei did not rush her, but quietly waited for the teahouse owner to inhale more water mist mixed with the Jingxin Pill.
"Boss, we don't have any other intentions, and we don't want to embarrass you. We are just curious about that place, so we want to ask you a few things." Ling Xuewei smiled and took out another bag that had been waiting for you for a long time.
The prepared spirit stones were then placed together with the bag on the table.
One bag of spirit stones is almost ten pieces of middle-grade spirit stones, and the two bags add up to a total of twenty pieces of middle-grade spirit stones.
The teahouse owner could no longer maintain his composure. His eyes suddenly opened as big as copper bells. He looked at the spiritual stone on the table eagerly and swallowed.
Although he is not a cultivator, with so many spiritual stones, he can definitely exchange them for a lot of money.
"Boss, I hope you can satisfy our curiosity." Ling Xuewei continued slowly.
The teahouse owner finally couldn't bear it any longer and put the two bags of spiritual stones on the table into his arms.
Under the influence of the Jingxin Pill, the teahouse owner's fear hidden deep in his heart was dissipated. Although he was still afraid of mentioning the matter of Guixu City, facing the temptation of money, this powerful temptation was far away.
Far greater than the fear deep in his heart.
Twenty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones was the income of his small teahouse for half a year. It was just to satisfy the curiosity of a few young ladies. If he did not earn this money, he would feel sorry for himself.
"You don't know something!" After accepting the spirit stone, the teahouse owner looked around the private room warily, as if he was already under some kind of surveillance. To mention this matter, you need to take a big risk.
Risk, "The Guixu City you are asking about has been cursed and has now become a dead city with no return!"
The teahouse owner lowered his voice and spoke carefully to Ling Xuewei and the others.
Ling Xuewei was not frightened by the teahouse owner's words. She looked as usual and asked calmly, "Can you tell me specifically what happened?"
The teahouse owner took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally before slowly talking to Ling Xuewei and his party, "The incident probably happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Guixu City was already far away.
Without its previous prosperity and looking at its decline, we can only feel sorry for it, but there is nothing we can do about it."
Ling Xuewei and others listened very carefully.
"I also forgot when the news that Guixu City was cursed began to circulate. I only remember that there was a caravan in Akabane City that went to Guixu City to deliver goods, but never came back. You must know that the caravan had cultivators.
protected."
The teahouse owner seemed to be stuck in a memory that frightened him, but he insisted on telling Ling Xuewei the whole story.
"Originally we thought that the curse was someone's joke, but with the disappearance of the caravan, no one dared to regard it as a joke anymore."
"If the caravan disappeared inexplicably, no one would care about it?" Ling Xuewei asked.
"The leader of the Red Feather Sect immediately sent the elders of the sect to Guixu City to investigate, but no news came back from the elders sent out." The teahouse owner said, "The leader of the Red Feather Sect sent several waves of people, and finally
There was no news from them all, so the sect leader had no choice but to give up the investigation of Guixu City completely."
"None of the elders of the Red Feather Sect have come back from Guixu City?" Ling Xuewei asked in disbelief.
"Isn't that right! You must know that the elder of the Red Feather Sect is the Martial Emperor!"
"The Red Feather Sect even involved elders at the level of Emperor Wu, but the sect leader didn't investigate the matter thoroughly?" Ling Xuewei didn't believe it.
"It's not that the leader of the Red Feather Sect doesn't want to investigate, but it's just that he really has no way to investigate. He sent out so many people, but none of them were heard from. He can't lose the entire Red Feather Sect." The innkeeper continued, "During that time
Strange things happened one after another in the Scarlet Feather Sect, and the sect leader really had no choice, so he issued a gag order to everyone, and no one in the Scarlet Feather Sect was allowed to mention the words Guixu City again."
"The leader of the Red Feather Sect issued a ban on speaking in the Red Feather Sect. Why are the residents of Red Feather City silent about Guixu City?"
"The Akabane Sect sent so many people to Guixu City, but there was no news from them. It was only then that everyone completely panicked. Later, there were several sudden deaths of residents in Akabane City, and they fell on the street without warning.
Above, everyone quickly discovered what those people who died suddenly had in common. They have been constantly mentioning Guixu City in recent days..."
The innkeeper continued.
"Fear quickly swept through the entire town. Everyone discovered that Guixu City was not only cursed, but anyone who mentioned it would not have a good ending. No one dared to joke with their own lives. Most people in Guixu City would be cursed in this life.
Having never been there, it was very simple not to mention the words Guixu City again. Everyone felt that this was a punishment from God to Guixu City. No one dared to go against God, so Guixu City soon fell into disrepair.
It has become a taboo in Akabane City, and Guixu City has become a place where no one dares to set foot."
"Of course, after so many years, there are always people who are not afraid of death and want to try the curse of Guixu City, and none of those who set out to Guixu City have ever come back. Now all of us here
People have no doubts about the curse of Guixu City, and they are only deeply afraid of Guixu City. In the end, Guixu City became an existence that no one dares to talk about even if it does not need to be reminded."
The teahouse owner told everything he knew in one breath. He was afraid that once he stopped midway, he would never have the courage to continue talking.
"Guixu City once caused such a great panic, and no one dares to set foot there yet, but why haven't the surrounding towns received any news about this matter?" Huangfu Chen asked his doubts.
Although the shopkeeper of the teahouse temporarily suppressed the fear deep in his heart under the influence of the Jingxin Pill, this fear had long been ingrained. Even after the story was told, he could not get out of the fear.
At this time, the teahouse owner was like a frightened rabbit. He told the story about Guixu City back then, and it felt like he was gambling with his own life.
He stood in fear, fearing that the curse of Guixu City would fall on him.
"Young master, you don't know something." The teahouse owner waited for a while, and after finding that his body was not strange, he continued to answer Huangfu Chen's question, "Guixu City has been in the state for a long time since more than ten years ago.
Every year is not as good as the previous year. Apart from having some history and being an ancient city, the location is not important at all. Everyone knows that Guixu City will disappear completely sooner or later. As for the strange things that happened in such an ancient city, what happened in other places
Even if people knew about it, they would only hear it as an anecdote."
"That's true!" Yu Wenxuan nodded with deep sympathy.
If he hadn't experienced this personally today, if someone had told him that a town was cursed, Yu Wenxuan would have listened to it as a story.
"Also, the accident more than ten years ago happened so suddenly. Everyone who spread the word about Guixu City died suddenly and bizarrely. It was precisely because there were more than a dozen people who died in the first place, and each one
He suddenly died while talking about Guixu City. How dare other people continue to gossip." The teahouse owner sighed.
He was also running this teahouse back then. People came and went in the teahouse every day. He didn't know what was going on in Akabane City. From the initial curse spread, to the disappearance of the caravan, and then to Guixu City, no one dared to mention it.
.
The teahouse owner dared to say that no one knew the whole incident better than him. Ling Xuewei came to him to inquire. She really found the right person.
Although the risk he took was a little bigger, it was still worth it to make such a large sum of money.
"Boss, it seems that you know a lot about Guixu City, so you must also know how to get over?" Ling Xuewei then asked.
The teahouse owner took a breath of air, "Everyone... that place is too dangerous, so you must not go there!"
The teahouse owner looked at everyone eagerly. He thought that these rich young ladies were just asking about Guixu City out of curiosity. Who knew that after they heard about the horror of Guixu City, not only were they not frightened
, on the contrary, I am excited and definitely want to go to Guixu City.
If these people really went and lost their lives in Guixu City, wouldn't it mean that he had killed these rich young men and young ladies? He would never do such a thing.
"Everyone, take this spirit stone back!" The teahouse owner put the spirit stone he just got on the table and suddenly became serious.
