A group of people sat there named
In the lobby on the second floor of "Laicai Inn", people were sitting together. In front of them was still a large pot of hot venison, which was specially cooked and served by shopkeeper Tang below.
It's just that this pot of venison was placed in front of everyone, but no one had the intention to eat it. Zuo Qiuxun has been silent since his return, seeming to be thinking about countermeasures. Xu Huaigu, whose identity was exposed, is also very anxious, for fear of causing trouble.
The man looked regretful and couldn't help but apologize to Xu Huaigu and said: "Brother Xu, I'm so sorry! This...you know me, I can't hide things in my heart. When I was provoked by the old storyteller, I suddenly became angry. Here you are, you accidentally revealed your cultivation level, it’s my fault, I should scold you!” Xu Huaigu, who was reading, still frowned and said nothing.
The man became increasingly anxious and sweating profusely. He wanted to continue explaining but didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth slightly and stopped talking, looking very aggrieved.
Xu Huaigu saw that the man was really uncomfortable, so he sent a message from his heart to Zuo Qiuxun: "We left in time. Only the old storyteller should have heard clearly. Besides, the old storyteller may not believe it. Otherwise, this matter would be like this." Have you exposed it?" Zuo Qiuxun was helpless and sent a message back: "No one who knows about this matter will be as serious as the old storyteller who knows about it."
"How do you say this? Are you afraid that the old storyteller will tell others?" Zuo Qiu His expression doesn't look like a normal storyteller." Xu Huaigu asked doubtfully: "Based on this? You must be too nervous, right? I think the old man is quite normal." Zuo Qiuxun still refused to let go and said : "Anyway, I always feel that the old man is a bit weird, and he should be new to the restaurant, which makes him even more suspicious." Xu Huaigu asked her, "Then what should we do?" Zuo Qiuxun looked gloomy and said, "What else can you do? The cultivation level has been revealed by Kong Xiong, and we will be in a passive position again. But fortunately, although you are in the third realm, your killing power is far better than that in the third realm, so we still have a little room for maneuver. Next, we The plan remains unchanged and should remain unchanged to cope with all changes. I still won't take action. You go check on the ghost tonight and make a new plan to catch the ghost tomorrow. If the old storyteller is really an insider, then I will I will help you stop him, so you only need to concentrate on dealing with that ghost." Xu Huaigu also thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, let's do it like this." Then Xu Huaigu finally spoke out and faced the anxious Kong Xiong, who was wandering around, said: "Brother Kong, you did something wrong indeed, and it will have a lot of impact on our plan." Kong Xiong said anxiously: "Then you don't want to quit catching ghosts, right?" The thing is that I was very wrong, I admit that, but the people of Lucheng can't afford to delay. If you really feel upset, I, Kong Xiong... can promise you all the heads on my neck, how about it? !" Xu Huaigu scolded: "Nonsense, what do I want with your head! Although this matter has been leaked a little, it is not impossible. I have just thought a lot, we still act according to the previous plan, and go to spy tonight Let’s take a look at the ghost’s strength and purpose of staying in Lucheng, and then make a detailed plan to close the net tomorrow night.” When the man heard that Xu Huaigu finally agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, “Okay, just as Brother Xu said. If there is anything I can do to help, little brother, just ask me. Although my realm is not good enough, I, Kong Xiong, am not afraid of death." Kong Xiong was still so heroic, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel a little sad, and said: "Brother Kong, you are so I'm afraid that this way of doing things will lead to catastrophe in the future." Kong Xiong said seriously: "I know what catastrophe you are talking about, little brother Xu, it's just the loss of my life. I, Kong Xiong, have nothing for a long time. My parents were young in their early years. Both of us were dead. My wife originally wanted to marry me, but because her family looked down on me and I couldn't afford the bride price, the matter was abandoned. At that time, I felt that there was no fun left in life. ? So I walked out of that small village with my sword in hand and started walking around the world. My shabby method was taught to me by another miserable wild cultivator. Although I have some cultivation, it is no different from before, so I feel that since there is always You have to die one day, why not make your death worthwhile?" He touched the corners of his eyes, his voice trembling slightly, and continued: "My biggest wish in this life, Kong Xiong, is that after I die, there will still be people thinking about me, even if there is only one person. That’s fine. So I thought that if I died because of the people of Lucheng, some people would still remember me, so I came without hesitation. "Zuoqiu Xun was speechless after listening, not knowing what to say.
This man is really an extremely flesh-and-blood little person. He has the simplest little dream and is willing to risk his life. This courage cannot help but be admired.
Xu Huaigu was also silenced by the man's words, just thinking about something carefully. In the end, Huang Shan sighed and said, "We are all wild cultivators like this. We don't seek survival, we only seek to be remembered." Then he turned to Xu Huaigu and said, "Then do you want to go investigate the situation tonight?" Can I help?" Xu Huaigu looked at Zuo Qiuxun, and Zuo Qiuxun sent him a message from his heart: "You don't have to ask me about everything, you should make your own decision." So Xu Huaigu lowered his head and frowned, thinking for a while, and then sent a message to him. He said, "Huang Shan, why don't you stay in the inn and let me and Brother Kong do this alone." Huang Shan nodded and said, "Okay, that's up to you." But he immediately He sent a message to Xu Huaigu through the heart lake and told him: "Although I won't take action on the surface, I still have to pay attention to one or two things. If Kong Xiong is in danger, I will save him." Xu Huaigu agreed: "Okay." Kong Xiong After saying the previous words, he kept his head down and said nothing, thinking about his own things.
Xu Huaigu stood up and walked over, patted his shoulder lightly, and said comfortingly: "Brother Kong, I know it's not easy for you, so I respect you even more. Tonight, as you wish, we will take action together to kill that man." Ghosts, give the people of Lucheng their innocence!" The man finally came to his senses, held Xu Huaigu's hand that was tipping his shoulder, and said excitedly: "Okay, tonight, let's kill ghosts together!" The pot of venison and The unopened wine jar began to smell of meat and wine again, and everyone at the table burst into laughter.
...That night, after having a full meal, Xu Huaigu and the man Kong Xiong returned to the room. When Shopkeeper Tang came to clean up the dishes, he also reminded the group not to go out at night to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Xu Huaigu was grateful to Shopkeeper Tang for his kindness, but there were some things that had to be done by someone. When he returned to his room, he took out the two swords from the sword case. One was tied around his waist and the other was slung behind his back for easy access.
In addition, what he also carries is the Zixia Zong Thunder Talisman given to him by Princess Cangyang, which is used as the final trump card.
However, Xu Huaigu did not intend to use this thunder talisman unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, it was an extremely powerful killing talisman. All the monks in the three realms could be killed with one strike. This killing power was not bad.
You know, Xu Huaigu only has three realms in his heart, and since traveling around the world, he has become more aware that monks in the three realms are very rare.
For example, when he just walked out of Qingling and walked with the Taoist priests, all he met all day long were gods from the nine realms and ten realms. But that was just a dispute between the great monks caused by Molong's escape. In fact, the three Realm monks are already very advanced for ordinary people, and the highest combat power in the entire Lu City is only four third-level warriors.
Xu Huaigu changed into black clothes and quietly walked down the stairs. He found that the lights on the first floor had been extinguished. Shopkeeper Tang must have fallen asleep, so he went downstairs with the man Kong Xiong.
With the help of spiritual power, he walked without making any sound. Until he approached the door of the inn, he gently opened the wooden door, then turned back to remind the man, "Let's go." The man nodded and took the lead. After walking out, Xu Huaigu turned around and planned to close the door.
The moment he closed the door, a black figure suddenly seemed to move around the corner of the stairs, startling him.
But when he looked intently, he found nothing. Ominous clouds hung over Xu Huaigu's mind, but when he thought that Zuo Qiuxun was still holding the battle in this inn, he felt a little relieved.
He gently closed the door of the inn and walked onto the street. Suddenly, a cold night wind hit his face, making him shiver involuntarily.
He complained softly: "It's so cold." The man replied: "The weather is cold and cold, which is the most suitable for ghosts to come out and move around. It is very likely that we will meet that ghost tonight." Xu Huaigu reminded him worriedly: "We are here today It's just a test. It's best not to be discovered, so don't make any noise. If a fight really breaks out, just wait for the opportunity and I will hold the ghost." Kong Xiong nodded and agreed: "Okay, this For all important matters, I will obey Brother Xu's arrangements!" Xu Huaigu nodded, and then took Kong Xiong into the winding small streets of Lucheng.
Tonight, Lucheng is still desolate and lifeless. The moon lay lazily on the horizon, looking at the desolate world, shedding its cold light, adding a bit of deathly silence to the world.
Compared with the first time he entered Lucheng, Xu Huaigu's mood at this time was far less confused and less fearful of the unknown.
No matter how weird and terrifying the haunting is, there are still traces to follow. With a target, Xu Huaigu can draw the sword freely. The worst thing is that he knows there is something wrong, but he doesn't know how or where to draw the sword.
Xu Huaigu tensed his nerves and carefully felt the movement and spiritual energy fluctuations around him. The man followed him nervously and could only watch Xu Huaigu investigate. He could not help because his level was too low.
The two walked on the street for a long time, and the moon was already over their heads, but they couldn't see anything. Kong Xiong couldn't help but anxiously stepped forward to ask Xu Huaigu: "Brother Xu, we have been walking for so long, but have we found any problems?" Xu Huaigu was about to answer. He suddenly felt a cold wind on his back, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He pulled Kong Xiong and quickly got into the nearest alley, and then hid in the darkness in the corner.
Kong Xiong held his breath nervously, swallowed his saliva, put his ear to Xu Huaigu's ear and asked, "Coming?" Xu Huaigu slowly stretched out a finger to his mouth to signal him not to speak.
It was quiet all around, and Kong Xiong looked around blankly. Suddenly, a bright red coat burst into his field of vision.
The man was startled and couldn't help but want to scream, but Xu Huaigu covered his mouth and shook his head nervously.
