Chapter 70 The Murderous Intention Arrives on a Rainy Night
Chapter 70 The murderous intention is coming in the rainy night
Qiu Buping glanced at the waiter coldly and said, "It's going to rain today. If we walk twenty miles, it will start to rain heavily. The mountain road is difficult to navigate. The store should let us in."
Without waiting for the waiter to say anything, the people in front of Qiu Buping pushed open the door of the inn, pushed the waiter to the ground, and a group of people broke into the courtyard gate, and all eight horses and carriages were pulled into the courtyard one by one.
The waiter who was pushed aside stood up and said anxiously: "Everyone, we really can't stay here. This inn is haunted!"
"Boom~"
A bolt of lightning struck across the sky, illuminating the dilapidated compound as bright as day. After a moment, he fell into sleep again, and the waiter's pale face looked half human and half ghost.
"Xiaojiu, what are you talking about?" A hoarse voice came from the main room. A stooped old woman walked with a cane and trembled slightly: "All the customers have entered the store, what's the matter?
Not working?”
Everyone in the yard was a little frightened. This situation looked stranger than a ruined temple sleeping in the open air.
"Haha~ Dear guests, please come in. Xiaojiu has been hit in the head and is a little abnormal. Don't be careful. Are you working as a top or staying in a hotel?" the old woman said again.
"You still need to ask? Of course I'm staying in an inn." Zhao Mo was startled by this weird inn at first, but now that there are more than 20 people standing behind him, he is not afraid anymore.
"It's a good time to stay in a hotel. There are many guest rooms upstairs, but none of them are occupied. It's just enough to accommodate all our guests. Please follow me to settle them."
Qiu Buping, who has traveled around the world for many years, was naturally not frightened by this small scene. He was the heart of everyone and could not show his timidity. He walked into the inn first.
Lu Changan was carried upstairs by two people on a wooden frame. Bai Jun looked over and nodded to him with a friendly smile.
Bai Jun watched everyone enter the store, and he was the only one left standing in the courtyard.
Xiaojiu led the horses and set up a few horses. Someone on the second floor of the inn opened the window, coughed a few times and cursed: "How long has it been since this damn place has been inhabited? It smells like dust."
"Stop shouting, we will stay vigil tonight and watch the goods on the carriage. The master of the house must ask us to be careful not to capsize in the gutter!"
"I know, isn't there Zhao Wu and Xu Liu? With them watching, we can just take a look."
Downstairs, Bai Yan relied on his superhuman hearing to identify the conversation between the two. This group of people are still experienced in the world of martial arts. I hope they will not be deceived.
Bai Jun turned around and walked into the inn. He saw that the old woman had not yet come downstairs and was sitting at the table in the hall. He smelled the scent of incense.
Turning his head, he saw a hidden incense candle in the counter. In front of the incense, there was an invisible statue that was blocked by the cabinet door, but it was vaguely visible as a snake's tail.
Above the head, a python swam silently on the beam of the house, passing by Bai Jun and spitting out a snake message above his head.
At this time, the old woman finally assigned everyone to their rooms and slowly went downstairs. It happened that at this time she heard the young man say with a slight smile: "Interesting."
"What's so interesting about this guest?" The old woman's old voice suddenly appeared behind Bai Jun.
"Oh, I mean there is a group of chicken monsters raised in the courtyard where guests are received, which is interesting. I wonder if there is chicken in the Longshan Inn that I can try?"
"Oh~ Your Majesty said this." The old woman was stunned for a while before reacting, "It's a pity that I am the only woman here, and there is also a chef. It can't be Xiaojiu. But if you like it, Your Majesty
It’s not like he… can’t do it.”
Bai Jun was embarrassed. He said casually, but he didn't expect that this old woman would come up with a crooked idea.
"Shopkeeper, please serve the food. We brothers have been tired for a long day. If you have any good wine or food, please feel free to serve it."
A big man in the caravan shouted and interrupted the two people who were not chatting on the same topic.
"Hey~ Okay! Let's go prepare the food. Dear guests, are you eating in your room or downstairs?" Although the old woman looked old, she was not sluggish in energy. She became energetic when she heard about the business.
"Our master said that we are all eating downstairs. You should hurry up and prepare the food."
"Don't worry, sir! I just killed a fat pig a few days ago, and I still have this. I'll ask someone to prepare the food right away."
As the old woman spoke, she walked towards the kitchen. Through the long attic passage, she could see a big man in the kitchen with a butcher knife, chopping unknown raw meat vigorously, splattering a lot of blood.
Xiaojiu walked into the hall at this time. When he saw Bai Jun sitting on the table, he took out a pot of warm herbal tea from the small room and said: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
"Yes, I have a look." Bai Jun took the teapot and threw a piece of broken silver.
Xiaojiu took the broken silver and forced a smile, "Thank you, sir."
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he came closer and whispered: "Master, if it's too late to leave now, there really is a ghost in this inn!"
Bai Jun drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "The tea is good, we have guests. Why don't you go and greet the guests?"
"Ah?" Xiao Jiu was startled, and there was another hurried knock on the door. "Open the door quickly! Is there anyone? Open the door quickly!"
Xiaojiu could only run over and open the courtyard door again. A man took the opportunity to run into the courtyard in panic, and was still shouting: "Help! Help! Someone is going to kill someone, and a bandit is coming!"
The room suddenly became chaotic, everyone in the caravan ran out, and Qiu Buping also walked out of the room, standing in the guest room on the second floor of the hall and watching the situation below.
A group of more than a dozen men armed with machetes barged in fiercely. The leader was a fat man who looked extremely powerful. He shouted angrily: "Put down your swords, otherwise don't blame the sword for having no eyes."
No one answered, they all looked at the fat man.
"I'm robbing! Didn't you see it?" The big man glanced at everyone coldly, waved his hand and said: "Come on, kill these people!"
A group of bandits swarmed up one after another.
At this time, Qiu Buping, who was on the second floor, let out a cold snort, and fired out several bursts of internal force with his hands as fast as lightning. He actually shot eight or nine people who were rushing towards him from the air, sending them flying to the ground and screaming in agony.
"this……"
The fat man was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the knife. "Hero, please spare my life. I didn't know that I met a martial arts master. Please spare my life, heroes!"
…”
"Get out of here!" Qiu Buping said calmly.
"Yes! Yes, the hero is right, let's leave quickly!"
A group of bandits left Longshan Inn screaming.
The old woman said happily: "Thank you so much for helping my Longshan Inn avoid a robbery!"
Qiu Buping nodded calmly and turned back to the room, as if he had just done a small thing.
The scholar who broke in was still in shock and was still thanking everyone.
There was a hint of mischief in Bai Jun's eyes. Looking at the scholar who broke in, panicked and narrowly escaped death, this man at least had first-class internal strength in his body!
Although he used some method to block the perception of mortals, he could never hide it from Bai Jun.
Qiu Buping's internal strength is only top-notch, and he is only a somewhat famous person in the world. The people in the martial arts world who are truly famous in the Jin Dynasty are at least peerless masters. Although these first-class masters are famous in the county and government, they can't even be found in a state.
The reputation of the place cannot be spread.
After all, this is a world where the vitality of heaven and earth exists. Mortals who practice martial arts at the peak may not be comparable to ascetics.
This small inn unexpectedly welcomed many human beings with stories in one day.
"Boom~"
The weather that had been brewing for a long time finally rained, and the rain pattered amid the thunder. Water had accumulated on the ground in the yard, and there were earth dragons in the soil taking advantage of the rain to spring, but there were no toads around to eat it.
Eat this delicious food!
Platefuls of meat were brought to the table by Xiaojiu, and the fragrant smell aroused everyone's stomach.
Qiu Buping and others have already sat at the table, and after checking that the meat and vegetables are non-toxic, they are about to have a big meal.
But Qiu Buping sat at the table, looked at the meat, and said calmly: "The store won't give us white meat, right?"
As soon as these words came out, all the big men present were shocked. They could no longer look directly at the pots of meat on the table. Instead, they felt their stomachs were churning.
"Ouch!" the old woman exclaimed, "How can the guest officer slander us like this? We are good people here, how can we do such an outrageous thing?"
"Really?" Qiu Buping picked up a pair of chopsticks from his side and swept through everyone. There were nearly twenty people who didn't dare to put down the inn chopsticks they were holding and picked up their own chopsticks from his side.
.
"I hope the store will allow us to enjoy a delicious meal instead of making us feel dizzy after finishing the meal."
"Haha~ What the guest said is natural." The old woman responded without a smile.
"Yuxi, bring some food for your young master upstairs." Qiu Buping ordered to the stunned book boy.
"Yes! Yes! Master!" the book boy Yuxi hurriedly answered, filling the bowl with food and carrying it upstairs.
Lu Changan, who was lying down on the bed in the room, smelled the food carefully and said, "Fortunately, it's not white meat."
The book boy wondered: "Master, did you hear what Master Qiu said about white meat just now? What does that mean? And why did they use the chopsticks they brought with them? Do they think the inn is not clean enough?"
Chang'an sighed, "Silly boy, that white meat is not pork, but the human flesh that the black shop is referring to! The black shop often uses the corpses of the customers in the shop as pigs and sheep to cook for new customers to save costs.
Eating with the inn's chopsticks is called Shitongtian, implying that after finishing the meal, you will be sent to heaven. And using your own chopsticks, which is common sense on the road, means that you are also a person in the world, which is called a fresh move. Usually black shops will restrain themselves when they see it.
I won’t offend such a person in the world easily.”
"What? There is such a terrifying statement?" The book boy was stunned and said in shock.
"In this world, people's hearts are sinister and more terrifying than monsters. A book boy like you is so naive and naive that he is afraid that he will be eaten to pieces as soon as he goes out."
"Master, don't scare me. You are also young, so how do you know so many rules in the world?" the book boy complained.
"Of course I know. My family has been practicing both civil and martial arts since the 13th generation patriarch. Legend has it that I, Lu Lingfeng, the 13th generation patriarch of the Lu family in Xiahe, received enlightenment from the immortals and reached the realm of enlightenment, reaching the level of the legendary peerless master.
The martial arts realm of the Qinan Prefecture has also led to the rise of the Lu family's martial arts style. To this day, our Lu family's villa is the best in the Qinan Prefecture martial arts community.
Many senior members of the clan have recorded their experiences in traveling around the world. How can you, a kid like you, know this if you don't want to study?" Lu Changan stood up, picked up his rice bowl and started eating.
Downstairs, Bai Jun ate some vegetarian dishes, but did not touch the meat dishes, because except for the table of normal meat eaten by Qiu Buping, the rest of the dozen or so people ate white meat!
Lu Changan's food was also served from Qiu Buping's table, so it wasn't white meat either.
What was placed in front of Bai Jin was also a plate of white meat.
It's just that the chef is so skilled that even these people in the world didn't notice anything was wrong, and the food tasted delicious.
The scholar who escaped for his life did not eat meat at all, he was just a vegetarian like Bai Jun.
The old woman in charge of the counter silently lit a stick of incense and added another stick of incense to the statue in the hidden corner.
After eating, Bai Jin led Xiaojiu down to a spacious guest room, which was relatively new.
"Sir, this is a very safe house. Once you close the door at night, never open it again. No matter what sound you hear, don't go out of the room. I wish you good luck!"
Xiaojiu suddenly said these words at the last moment before exiting the room and closing the door. In conjunction with his pale and deep voice in the rainy night, the dim candlelight in the room flickered a few times, which really created a bit of terror.
atmosphere.
Bai Jun sat on the bed. The bedding was old and not new, but it was quite neat.
He stood up and opened the window. There was a rustling sound of rain hitting the leaves in the yard outside the house. The cold wind of spring night hit the leaves in the darkness, shaking like a demon that only chooses people to devour.
It was too strange here. He clearly sensed the existence of monsters, and was even sure that they were monsters of the same clan. However, except for some ordinary pythons and small snakes, there was no demonic snake found in the entire inn.
Could it be that it is a great demon that has transformed?
However, looking at the aura and luck here, it doesn't look like that of a great demon in disguise. It seems that this fellow member has some magical powers.
Bai Jun blew out the candles on the table and lay down on the bed, fully clothed, to sleep. However, as soon as he lifted the quilt, he saw that there were already several little ones in the quilt to warm him up.
He didn't drive these little guys away cruelly. He just waved his hand and the snakes fell asleep on the bed to prevent them from running around on him at night.
"Hoo~"
The night gradually became quieter, and the lights in the guest rooms were extinguished one by one, leaving the Longshan Inn in complete darkness.
"Hiss, hiss~"
There were one or two unnoticeable neighing sounds in the rainy night. A large green python coiled around the beam and quietly slipped into a snoring guest room, using its soft and tough snake body to wrap around the sleepers.
The big man in the middle was so tightly wrapped around his throat that he couldn't even scream.
In the inn, a ghost-like figure wandered outside each guest room. He stuffed fragrant pills into the cracks in the door, and a faint fragrance spread in each inn.
At the counter in the lobby on the first floor, the extinguished incense stick suddenly lit up without fire, and a statue of an adder was illuminated by a faint red light. Its shape was like a king cobra!
