Qiu Buping glanced at the waiter coldly, "It's going to rain today. If we walk twenty miles, it will start to rain heavily. This mountain road is difficult to navigate, but the store should let us in."
Without waiting for the waiter to say anything else, 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, are you still here?" Not working?”
Everyone in the yard was a little frightened. This situation looked weirder 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 have 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.
"We're staying in a hotel. That's just right. 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 stepped 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, leaving him alone in the courtyard.
Xiaojiu led the horses and placed 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 ghost place has been inhabited? It smells like dust."
"Stop yelling. We will stay vigil tonight and watch the goods on the carriage. The master of the house must make us be careful not to capsize in the gutter!"
"I know, aren'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 people in the world, so I hope they won't 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 this 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 there is only my wife and me here, and there is a chef. It can't be Xiaojiu. But if your Majesty takes your fancy, 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, 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! Now let's prepare the food. Dear guests, are you eating in your room or downstairs?" Although the old woman looked old, she was not sluggish and 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 chopping unknown raw meat in the kitchen with a butcher knife, 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 stunned, 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. Qiu Buping also walked out of the room and stood in the guest room on the second floor of the hall watching the situation below.
A group of more than a dozen people 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?" The big man glanced at everyone coldly, waved his hand and said: "Come on, kill these people!"
A group of bandits swarmed forward.
At this time, Qiu Buping, who was on the second floor, snorted coldly, and used his hands to release several internal forces as fast as lightning. He actually shot the eight or nine people who came up from the air and sent them flying to the ground screaming.
"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 compete 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 incomparable to ascetics.
This small inn unexpectedly welcomed many humans with stories in one day.
"Boom~"
The weather that had been brewing for a long time finally rained, with thunder and rain falling. Water has accumulated on the ground in the yard, and there are dragons in the soil who are taking advantage of the rain to spring, but there are no toads around to devour 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 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 hungry 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 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 meat 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 is a common sense in the Taoist saying that you are also a person in the world, which is called a fresh move. Usually, when a black shop sees it, they will restrain themselves and will not easily offend such a person in the world. "
"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 the bone as soon as he goes out."
"Master, don't scare me. You are also young, so how do you know so many rules of the world?" the book boy complained.
"Of course I know. My family has been practicing both civil and martial arts since the 13th generation of the clan. Legend has it that I, Lu Lingfeng, the 13th generation clan leader of the Lu family in Xiahe, received enlightenment from the immortals and reached the state of enlightenment, reaching the level of the legendary peerless master. From this, the Lu family's martial arts style emerged. To this day, the Qinan Prefecture's martial arts community is dominated by our Lu family's villa.
The experiences of many seniors in the clan who traveled around the world have been recorded in the clan. How can you, a kid like you, know this if you refuse to read on weekdays? "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 that Qiu Buping ate, the rest of the dozen or so people ate all 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 Zhen 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 to a spacious guest room, which was relatively new.
"Sir, this is a very safe house. Once you close the door at night, be sure not to open it again. No matter if you hear any noise, don't go out of the room. I wish you good luck!"
Xiao Jiu 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 of.
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 the appearance 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, plunging the Longshan Inn into 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 entered 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. Under the faint red light, a statue of an adder statue appeared, which was shaped like a king cobra!
