They walked to an inn, which seemed to be the largest inn in the city.
There was some dim light coming from the cracks in the wooden boards of the door, indicating that the people inside were not asleep yet.
Bai Yu walked forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, I heard some rustling sounds coming from the door, and the person inside the door quietly came to the back of the door.
A trembling male voice came out, "Who, who?"
Bai Yu frowned slightly, "I'm staying in a hotel."
The man's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself, "The person staying in the hotel..."
After waiting for a while, the person inside raised his voice: "Here we are, open the door."
The door opened a crack from the inside. The man looked out from the crack and saw three people, so he opened the door boldly.
As soon as the person entered the house, he immediately closed the door.
The man was wearing coarse linen clothes, with a thin and yellow face. He smiled sheepishly at the three of them:
"Don't be offended by the guests. There's some unrest in our city at night, so... hehe."
After a little explanation, he asked again:
"How many rooms do you want?"
"Two for the house."
The man went to the counter to get the key and walked towards the stairs:
"Okay, okay, come with me."
The wooden stairs creaked, and the man asked casually:
"I think some of them are very extraordinary, but are they cultivators?"
Bai Yu: "Not bad."
The man nodded, led him to the door of the room, and warned: "It's best not to open the window or go out at night. It's really not peaceful here."
There were a few Taoist monks who came here before. They took advantage of their abilities and ran around at night, but never came back.
He couldn't tell which cultivators were more powerful, but it was better to give him a few words of advice.
After saying that, he went downstairs.
-
The room was not big and the things inside were very old. There was a smell of inferior incense left in the room.
This time, Mo Qin did not fall asleep again, but practiced all night until dawn.
It wasn't until daybreak that there were gradually voices of people outside.
The originally warm sunshine shining on this small town seemed to be covered with a layer of cold gauze, and even the voices shouting and hawking were weak.
There was an atmosphere of malaise in the whole town.
Yi Mengqi didn't eat anymore, probably because the food here was not to her liking.
"Are these guests really not going to eat anything?"
The waiter in the shop held a towel in his hand, bent down and said to the three of them.
Bai Yu took out some broken silver and said to the waiter:
"You don't need it to eat, but we need to ask you something."
When he saw Yinzi, the waiter immediately burst into laughter, his eyes fixed on Yinzi.
"You ask, you ask, there is nothing in this city that I don't know about."
Yi Mengqi looked at the waiter's flattering look and snorted disdainfully.
The waiter glanced at Yi Mengqi, his eyes almost glued to his eyes, but when he thought of Yinzi, he looked away again.
Bai Yu took the waiter's behavior seriously, but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked:
"Why can't you go out at night in this town?"
When the waiter heard this and looked at the three people's clothes, he understood.
Although this matter is horrifying, it is not a secret that cannot be told.
"Hey, this is..."
The waiter spilled the beans like beans.
One night a year ago, a disappearance occurred.
Three men and two women disappeared once.
In this small place, it is considered a big deal. Everyone is concerned about this matter, but they are not too afraid.
Until a few days later, four more people disappeared.
But the government's investigation has no clue.
Only then did everyone start to feel insecure, and gradually at night no one came out.
Within two months, two Taoist monks passed by this place. When they heard about this incident, they thought it was a monster causing trouble and decided to strangle the monster.
That night, the man went out but never came back.
Later, several waves of Taoist cultivators came one after another to kill the monsters, but in the end they all disappeared.
"Guests, please listen to my advice. This is not something ordinary people can do. If you don't have the ability, it's better not to take the risk."
"As long as you stay calm, everything will be fine."
Bai Yu threw the broken silver into the waiter's arms. The waiter weighed the silver and left happily.
After the waiter left, Bai Yu thought for two seconds and said to Mo Qin:
"I plan to meet this monster for a while. What do you think of it, friends?"
He seemed to be afraid that Mo Qin wouldn't go, so he tried to persuade her.
"Since we are here for training, we naturally have to face the difficulties. If we can save a group of people, it will be considered a meritorious deed."
Mo Qin realized clearly that he wanted to explore her.
No longer afraid at all.
She has also learned many other martial arts and swordsmanship, and she is not afraid of exposing anything in real fights.
Mo Qin agreed immediately, "That's exactly what I meant."
-
at night.
Mo Qin came out of the window and came to the street, and Bai Yu appeared alone.
He explained to Mo Qin, "Junior sister Yi is not as good as you and me. I don't know how powerful this monster is. Just the two of us will go."
"If this monster is really powerful, we can escape better."
Mo Qin didn't care whether Yi Mengqi went or not. If she did, she might be a drag.
"Fellow Daoist Yu is thoughtful."
"Then let's go find the monster now."
As soon as he came out, Mo Qin noticed the faint evil spirit in the air, like a huge veil, covering the whole town, making it impossible to find the source.
Although Bai Yu wants to test herself, there is no need for her to be so anxious to express herself.
She asked Bai Yu:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, is there any good way to find the hiding place of this monster?"
Bai Yu shook his head, "I'm ashamed to say that I'm just passionate and haven't thought of any good methods yet."
"However, didn't all the people who went to look for the monster disappear that night?"
"If we wander around the streets, we might be able to lure the monster out."
Mo Qin teased:
"This method, Fellow Daoist Yu, is really... a universal method."
She took out a compass.
"I do have a compass here that I can give it a try."
Bai Yu's eyes fell on the compass. It was nothing special, just an ordinary demon-hunting compass.
He asked tactfully:
"Oh? Since you have a method, why do you take it out now instead of asking me first?"
Mo Qin sighed helplessly:
"Fellow Daoist Yu invited me to catch monsters together. I thought you had some magic tricks. After all... I think that Friend Daoist Yu is a thoughtful and powerful person."
"But I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Yu would also be so impulsive?"
These words almost said 'I doubt you doubt me' written on his face.
Bai Yu didn't panic at all, but instead laughed a few times, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, but I was too impulsive and made my friends laugh."
"Let's start hunting for monsters now."
Mo Qin injected spiritual power, and the compass immediately started to move. The pointer turned randomly for a few times, and finally pointed in one direction.
The two looked at each other and flew away in that direction.
