I had no idea about the word "Human Skin Inn" at first, because when I was reading a book on the mountain before, I just regarded it as a story. After all, the description inside was a bit unbelievable.
"You're not going to tell me that the Human Skin Inn really exists in this world, are you?"
With doubts, I skillfully picked up the cigarette and put it in my mouth, but this time I didn't light it.
After saying this, Lu Yuanming smiled mysteriously: "Many things are denied not because they do not exist, but because they are hidden and not discovered."
"Okay, where is it?"
I raised my eyebrows and asked.
"Xiangxi!"
Lu Yuanming smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Mang Tianlong beside me quickly said: "Brother Ma, you must not go here. The abilities of our immortal family can only be used in the northern realm. After passing Shanhaiguan, your abilities will be greatly reduced. If you encounter It’s going to be troublesome if it’s dangerous.”
"That's true, Fellow Daoist Lu, let's discuss this matter later. I have to go back to Hongyue Village as soon as possible. There is a girl waiting there."
After saying that, I glanced at Mang Tianlong.
The latter understood it, trembled, and turned into a wisp of black smoke that disappeared into my arm.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave here and see you in Hongyue Village in three days."
Lu Yuanming nodded, and then slowly left with Lu Ling'er who was a little hesitant.
"Hey, the Human Skin Inn, if it really exists, I can't help but go..."
Looking at the backs of my uncle and nephew getting further and further away, I sighed and lit the cigarette.
"Dima, what on earth is that human skin inn? Is it worth going to?"
Just as I was taking steps to leave, the voice of Mang Tianlong suddenly sounded in my mind.
"It is a place that exists at the intersection of yin and yang. There is no concept of time. It is dark all year round. It is a place where all evil spirits gather. If a normal person enters it, there is no possibility of survival."
While walking, I explained to Mang Tianlong.
Of course, these are all what I have read in books, and are what the great leaders of the past generations have seen and heard with their own eyes. As for whether they are so scary, I am not sure. After all, no one wants to go into such a ghost place, unless it is a living person. enough.
"Ah? Then you still want to go? Aren't you looking for death?"
Hearing this, Mang Tianlong exclaimed repeatedly.
"You don't understand. Although the Human Skin Inn is extremely dangerous, the benefits inside are enough to make countless cultivators flock to it. Do you know what it is?"
I smiled, and a thick white mist came out of my mouth and nose.
Mang Tianlong was silent for a few seconds, and then asked: "I don't know, but the huge benefits are not as important as life, right?"
Ah……
When I said this, I suddenly smiled.
"Didn't I just say that that place exists at the intersection of yin and yang, which means that the yin and yang in the world will gather there. In addition, there is no constraint of time. Which cultivator can resist such temptation?"
After finishing speaking, I paused and then added: "Mortals can only live for a hundred years, and those who practice Taoism can only live for a dozen years at most. For people who are about to die, the Human Skin Inn is the last straw. There, they can use the two qi of yin and yang to cleanse their physical bodies, and if they are lucky, they can even become ghosts and immortals, no longer bound by birth, old age, illness and death, and they can't even control the underworld."
"Really or not? If you say that, then there will be no problem for me to go in and practice for a thousand years?"
Mang Tianlong was a little moved after hearing this. After all, if there really was such a place, everyone would want to give it a try.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but since I know the location is in western Hunan, it's almost certain."
I smiled, the look of anticipation in my eyes undisguised.
About half an hour later, I finally arrived at the entrance of Hongyue Village.
"The injury needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. Damn it, it really hurts!"
On the way to Liu Dazhuang's house, I felt a dull pain in my chest. The internal injuries caused by the Yin Yang Pearl still existed. If not treated in time, there would be indelible hidden diseases in the future.
"Brother Ninth!"
As I walked, I arrived at Liu Dazhuang's yard without knowing it, and met Mu Qing'er with red eyes.
Before I could say anything, the latter threw herself into my arms and sobbed.
"Silly girl, your Ninth Brother is very tough on me, why are you crying?"
I laughed and cursed.
"I...I'm scared to be alone!"
Mu Qing'er hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid that I would run away.
Hearing this, my heart suddenly trembled.
Yes, no matter how sensible Mu Qing'er is, she is still just a girl. When she is away from home, she is her only support. If she says she is not worried, she is lying.
"What are you afraid of? Brother Ninth is here. Stop crying and hurry up and give me something to eat."
I patted Mu Qing'er's head and chuckled.
After saying that, Mu Qing'er raised her head, wiped her tears and smiled: "Wait, I'll go to the kitchen to get you something delicious. You know, Brother Liu taught me a lot when you were away. Less craftsmanship.”
"Oh, I have to give it a try. Go as fast as you can."
After pinching Mu Qing'er's little face, I finally comforted her.
However, at the moment when the other party ran into the kitchen full of joy, my face suddenly turned pale, and black blood overflowed from the corner of my mouth.
"Brother Ma! Are you okay?"
For a moment, the spirit body of Mang Tianlong hurriedly appeared, and then I raised my hand and a black light gently enveloped my body.
Ahem!
"I'm fine. It's just that I was hit by extremely yin energy earlier, plus the backlash caused by repeated battles. Sit down and don't let that girl see the clues."
I waved my hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of my mouth, and after signaling Mang Tianlong with my eyes, I took out a cigarette and slowly lit it.
call……
The smoke passed through my lungs, bringing a pungent burning sensation, but it also made my head sober up a little.
"I will be in seclusion for the next two days to recuperate from my injuries. As for you, you will have to act as a guard. Although the matter in Hongyue Village has been resolved, we cannot take it lightly."
After saying that, I heard Mu Qing'er's silvery laughter coming from the kitchen: "Here comes the food, Ninth Brother, please try it quickly!"
The next second, Mu Qing'er walked out carrying two plates of steaming meat and vegetables.
"Hey, are you also Ninth Brother's cousin?"
When she saw Mang Tianlong, Mu Qing'er was slightly surprised, and then turned her head to look at me.
"His name is Mang Tianlong, and he is the new guardian immortal of my hall. Put down the vegetables quickly, I'm starving to death."
I smiled and said.
I have to say that Mu Qing'er has indeed made progress. The two dishes she cooked are pretty good. They include three kinds of fresh ground and braised pork. They are very appetizing.
"By the way, Ninth Brother, has the matter been resolved?"
Just when I stuffed a mouthful of food into my mouth, I heard Mu Qing'er's curious question beside me.
"Of course, if your Ninth Brother takes action, will there be any trouble?"
