It was daytime at this time, and the city of Yangdu was naturally the same as before, with bustling streets and bustling traffic.
However, this kind of excitement is only limited to the main roads extending in all directions, and the corners of Yangdu City are much quieter. There is an inn in one of the corners. Rather than being quiet, it is better to say that it is a bit desolate at this time.
Although there are many people passing by here, they always have a look of fear on their faces when they pass by the entrance of the inn. It was as if there was an invisible cover blocking the door of the inn, making them want to climb over the wall and go around from outside Yangdu City.
And just on the stone pier at the entrance of the inn, a listless figure was sitting. Judging from his appearance, he must be the waiter of the inn. Although this man was sitting under the scorching sun, he seemed completely unaware and just kept shaking his head and sighing.
While the waiter was "enjoying" sunbathing, he suddenly felt a shadow blocking his face, and he stood up in fright.
He rubbed his eyes and saw the immortal in front of him with a peaceful expression. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and put on a smiling face: "I wonder what happened to this immortal?"
"What's the matter?" The visitor laughed dumbly, "Isn't this an inn? What do you think can happen to me coming here?"
The waiter in the shop reacted when he heard this, and his face became a little more happy: "Yes, yes, of course, the immortal, please come inside..." As he spoke, he roared into the distance, " Come on, come on, it’s business!”
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, he saw a fat man standing under the wall opposite. He flicked the white cloth covering his face and tied it around his waist, and then rushed over in a hurry. Judging from his appearance, he should be a cook.
However, everyone has their own attitude towards life, so he didn't say much and just followed the waiter to the inn. As soon as he entered the inn, he frowned. He saw that the tables and chairs in the inn were all scattered and irregular, and he was very speechless. He thought to himself that no wonder this inn was so depressed. How could anyone do business so carelessly?
The person who came was none other than Lang Yun. He heard from Shi Xuewen that someone in Yangdu City called him by his real name, and he was very surprised. After all, he had changed his name specially to hide his identity. It was absolutely impossible for anyone to recognize him.
But when he heard that the person who was asking about him was a woman, especially when the woman was bringing a child with her, he suddenly felt an inexplicable nervousness in his heart.
Because Lang Yun had decided to change his appearance and felt that ordinary women were no longer worthy of him, he had the idea of ending his relationship with Chun Ya'er.
In particular, Junior Sister Xue Wen from the Yuhu Sect is beautiful and very talented, which is a perfect match for her current self. It made him even more determined to have this idea and to completely forget Chun Ya'er.
But every time he made up his mind, he would always think of Chun Ya'er's life-saving grace to him, and would think of finding an opportunity to go back and cure Chun Ya'er's hidden illness, so as to live up to the oath he had made.
Lang Yun himself was not at all proficient in medicine, but he knew that Lin Zidai was very good at this art, so he went to ask for a prescription from him and went back to treat Chun Ya'er. He originally thought that it would be perfect if he didn't tell anyone when he went back and forth, but he didn't expect that Lin Zidai somehow discovered his secret, and Lang Yun controlled it and didn't mention it.
Back when Lang Yun took the prescription home, more than twenty years had passed since he first left. There were several empty houses in the already desolate village. Even the scholar who lived in the house next door passed away due to tuberculosis a few years ago, and the remaining fat aunt had also lost her appearance.
Everything in front of him seemed to have changed, but the enthusiasm of the villagers remained the same. Lang Yun, who had originally planned to leave the prescription and leave, no longer had the heart to speak, so he could only stay briefly.
Although a long time has passed and Chun Ya'er's body is still weak, her appearance has not changed much and she is still like a young girl.
After lingering for a few days, Lang Yun felt that he could no longer say goodbye to her at this time, so he could only leave secretly while leaving the prescription one night.
After so many years, Lang Yun originally thought that everything would be over, but he didn't expect that Chun Ya'er had already had a child of his own, and she had raised him to such a big age by herself.
So he found out where Chun Ya'er was staying in Yangdu, and then he rushed over in a hurry, but what he didn't expect was that the environment where Chun Ya'er stayed was actually so bad. It made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Lang Yun was very much looking forward to the scene when he saw Chun Ya'er, and he didn't know who the child he had never met would look more like...
"Staff, please help me choose a room on the second floor near the back. I don't want to be disturbed." Lang Yun said casually, not wanting anyone to know his purpose.
But the waiter in the store was agitated when he heard this, and started to speak incoherently: "Exian, the room inside is really inconvenient... Can you find a place closer to the door... but not close to the door..."
Lang Yun didn't understand what the waiter meant. He just thought the room was full and said casually: "Since it's inconvenient, I'll do what you want..."
"Okay, okay!" The waiter in the shop responded hurriedly, then cleared a table for Lang Yun to sit down, and hurriedly brought tea.
Lang Yun sat down and looked around for a week before continuing: "I didn't expect that although your place is remote, there are quite a few guests..."
"Pa!" But before Lang Yun finished speaking, he saw the waiter who was pouring tea shook his arm and smashed the teapot to the ground, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?" Lang Yun frowned when he saw the waiter's face was pale and his lips were blue, thinking that this man might be suffering from an illness.
When the waiter heard this, he knelt down in front of Lang Yun, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and trembled like chaff: "Immortal, I shouldn't lie to you! But as soon as I saw that you are an extraordinary person, it is really a shame to keep you here. There is no way…”
The waiter in the shop thought that the man opposite could see things that ordinary people could not see, so naturally he no longer dared to hide it and poured out all the bitterness in his heart...
It turns out that although their place is in a remote location, many regular customers who like peace and quiet come here to stay. It's just that a weird and bizarre murder occurred here a few days ago, and the victims died in an even crueler manner.
At that time, the city lord's palace also sent people to investigate here, but they found nothing, so they had no choice but to let it go. But since that day, strange noises often came from this inn every night. Later, rumors spread that there was an innocent soul seeking life in this inn, and no one dared to come even half a step closer.
The waiter and the cook had to make a living and could not leave, so they could only hold back their fear and stay here. However, as soon as they entered the inn, they felt a chill down their spines, and they did not dare to stay inside longer. They could only stay on the city wall opposite the inn. They set up a tent to rest and took turns guarding the door of the inn.
After hearing this, Lang Yun looked up again and realized that there was a seal on the innermost door on the second floor, and the door facing the stairs was also sealed. It was only because the previous room was in a corner and the room in front of him was blocked by stairs that he didn't notice it.
"Murder?"
"Yes, yes! That morning I went to the second floor to clean up the room for some immortal elders. Who knew that as soon as I opened the door, I saw a pile of burnt bones on the ground! I didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was those jade ones. The Immortal Chief of the Hu Sect was dissatisfied with our food and made a fire by himself. It wasn’t until people came from Yangdu that I realized that those black remains... turned out to be human bones!"
Lang Yun frowned when he heard this. He remembered that Shi Xuewen once said that Lu Chun and others had been here, and he also frowned. But he didn't say much, he just nodded and motioned for the waiter to continue.
"If someone was burning corpses here, even if they blocked the light of the fire, they could not stop the spread of black smoke and scorched smell. But we didn't smell anything that night, and we didn't find any strange figures! At first, I doubted these people Where did the famous Yuhu Sect member come from and pretended to be an evil heretic, and they also reported the matter. However, Yangdu's investigation results showed that there was no problem with the identity of several people, and there was something fishy about the matter, so it could only be shelved. Coming down..."
Lang Yun had no intention of getting involved in Lu Chun's matter, and pointed to another room with an indifferent expression: "So the same thing happened here?"
Hearing this, the waiter looked regretful and shook his head: "Back to Immortal, there were actually two murders that happened that night. The first one was the charred corpse downstairs, and the second one was the mother and son upstairs..."
"A mother and son..." Lang Yun didn't react at first, but he had just repeated it, but he felt uneasy in his heart, and his voice was a little louder: "You said they are, a mother and son, do you know? Where are this mother and son from, and what are their names?”
The waiter was startled by Lang Yun's reaction and quickly replied: "Xian Zhang, I don't know their origins, but as far as I know, they seem to be going to the Yuhu Sect to find someone! The child's name is Da Shu, what’s his mother’s name? I remember I registered it... Please wait a moment, Chief Immortal!”
As the waiter said this, he pulled out a pamphlet and handed it over. Lang Yun lowered his eyes with difficulty and saw the two words he least wanted to see in the guest's name - "Chun Ya".
Lang Yun didn't know how he came to this room, but when he saw the dried blood on the ground, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head.
"Looking at how nervous you are, I wish you would be so anxious if I lost you one day..."
"As long as you know you were wrong, I will forgive you first this time! Don't ignore me for so long in the future, okay?"
"I don't know if the Jade Pot Sect has any medicine. I only know that the best prescription...is by my side..."
"I know you are doing it for me! But you also need to know that only when I see that you are well, will my heart be fine..."
All kinds of memories resounded in Lang Yun's mind, and for a while there was no other sound in the world. Lang Yun couldn't help but screamed "Chun Ya'er", and then felt his heart twitch a few times, and his vision went black. Fell to the ground...
When the waiter in the shop saw Lang Yun standing up in front of him expressionlessly and walking straight to the house at the end, he just thought it was because of the latter's compassion and did not bother him. At this time, he heard a scream from upstairs, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He grabbed the cook and jumped out of the inn.
"Then the Immortal, nothing will happen to him, right? Should we go up and have a look?"
"No...it can't be! How can something happen to an expert like the Immortal? I think this may be a method of summoning souls, so we'd better not get involved..."
