Chapter 30 Hotels

Paul looked at Jiang Sake with a stunned expression.

"Mr. Sake, I'm going to chase after you. ”

"Yes. ”

Jiang Qingjiu looked indifferent, as if he knew that something behind him was approaching quickly.

"We've taken refuge behind this ancient gate, and if this thing doesn't work, we're done. ”

Hearing this, Paul nodded, it was true, they couldn't run away just by running with their feet, the speed of the black goo was too fast, and they couldn't pull the distance at all.

Seeing that the tiny crack in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, countless tentacles made of black viscous matter stretched out from it, with bursts of strange screams.

With the crack as the dividing line, it is like two worlds, on one side of the sea, the heaven and the earth are black, dead and gloomy, and on the other side is a piece of life.

"Those monsters really can't get by. With some rejoicing, Paul fell to his knees and stood upright, looking at the other scene.

When he just finished speaking, there was a bang, and I saw a black tentacle waving violently towards them.

Paul subconsciously made a blocking action, but a golden wall of light instantly appeared in front of him, as if it was composed of pieces of scale armor, stretching endlessly, and there was no end in sight.

"Mr. Sake, this, this. ”

Paul was a little glad to be speechless, smiling at Jiang Qingjiu.

Ginger sake also looked surprised.

An ancient door appeared beside them, and two brown logs several meters wide stood on the ground, on which stood an illegible plaque, and some strange symbols were carved on the logs, which shimmered and gave people a very peaceful feeling.

"There's a door, but how did you see it, Mr. Sake. Paul asked curiously.

"Our family blood is born with a pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people. ”

Hearing this, Paul subconsciously took a closer look at Jiang Qingjiu's eyes, and it didn't seem to be any different.

At this moment, the tentacles made of those black sticky objects began to frantically hit the golden barrier from place to place, and the endless thumping sound came from far and near.

The crack grew bigger and deeper, as if it were about to form an abyss,,,

Jiang Sake just looked at this, then stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "We can go, Paul." ”

Paul also stood up when he heard the sound, and then bent down and dragged the unconscious Rossi with both hands.

"You can go, Paul, what are you still doing?"

After seeing Paul dragging Rosie, he maintained that movement, looking motionlessly in the direction of the crack, and Jiang Qingjiu urged again.

"Sake-sir, look. ”

Paul's voice was flat, but quiet, as if he was afraid of alarming something, and pointed in the direction of his gaze.

Jiang Qingjiu immediately put down his backpack, walked over, approached Paul, squatted down, and looked in the direction of Paul's finger.

I saw that under the deep crack, on the other side near the sea, there was not mud underneath, but a red mass, in which skeleton-like people were tearing each other apart, and they howled, as if they wanted to get out of it, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of skeletons, like a real hell in front of them.

"It turns out that those strange screams are not from these monsters. Paul sighed a little, a deep sense of powerlessness lingering in his heart, "Cross must be in it." ”

Jiang Qingjiu got up, his face was unusually calm, patted Paul's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, Paul." ”

Paul nodded, looked at the unconscious Rosie, stretched out his hands and tugged at him, and carried him on his back.

The two continued inland......

"Mr. Sake, what should we do next?" Paul asked, a little confused, "First to find the Wizard of Motuo?"

"Let's find a place where there are people first. Jiang Qingjiu looked at Rosie who was carrying Paul's back, "And Rosie, although I locked his soul, but now that he has lost a leg, he can't delay any longer." ”

Hearing this, Paul nodded, indeed.

The two walked along the Asakusa Plains for a few days, and finally saw a town with lights in the evening of the third day.

The two of them felt a little fortunate that there were several hotels in this seemingly small town, and later the two learned that this place is a scenic spot, and many tourists come every year, and the tourism industry has developed, so naturally the hotels will be opened accordingly.

Ginger sake and the others found a larger hotel to live in.

After settling Rosie, Paul was already exhausted and fell asleep, Jiang Qingjiu lit a cigarette, went out of the room, and walked downstairs along the old-fashioned corridor, casually wandering.

"Hello, distinguished guest, are you looking for something, tell me, and maybe I can help you. ”

Jiang Sake turned around and was the owner of the inn, a middle-aged man with a shrewd appearance.

"I wasn't looking for anything. ”

The boss nodded and smiled knowingly, bowed and said, "I wish you a good time." ”

Just when the boss had already turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly showed a somewhat strange smile and said in a low voice: "I kindly remind you, distinguished guest, that companion of yours is in a very bad condition now, and if you don't find a hospital with excellent medical skills as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save your life." ”

Jiang Qingjiu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the owner of the inn would suddenly say this, he might know something.

"Got it, thanks for the reminder. ”

Seeing that Jiang Qingjiu's tone was flat, and he didn't seem to be continuing to ask, the boss frowned a little wrongly, and just wanted to leave, he seemed to be a little unwilling, and asked again: "You don't want to know anything from me." ”

Jiang Sake smiled. "But I didn't know what you knew. ”

The boss waved his hand helplessly, this should be the most savvy guest he has ever met this month.

"You must have escaped from that place. The boss asked tentatively.

Seeing that Jiang Sake didn't reply, the boss continued: "Black slime, uninhabited village?"

Jiang Qingjiu smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "You're right, but what are those things?"

Seeing that Jiang Qingjiu finally asked a question, the boss breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and his expression was a little mysterious.

"Curse, curse in the depths of the sea. ”

"Cursed?" Ginger Sake looked curious and eager to know.

"That's right, it's the curse, a terrible curse. It is rumored that many years ago, many years ago, when there was no unified kingdom for the people of this area, a group of yellow-skinned mysterious people like you came to this place, and they carried huge chests with them in that village for a year, and after that, the village was cursed. ”

The house in that village may have been untouched for decades, and what the boss said has some exaggerated elements, but I have to say that this point about the Oriental is in line with Jiang Qingjiu's thoughts, the symbol on the door, and the golden light barrier, just like the handwriting that only the Oriental can have.

"After that?"

The boss nodded: "After that, the black began to spread, countless people were dragged to the sea, into hell, the people of that village fled there, and those who were ominous chased there, this country, the people in the know on the entire continent fell into panic. After that, several people with extraordinary abilities invited those yellow-skinned people over again. ”

"Even if there were only one or two, they stayed a few days close to the village, and the matter was settled. After that, the place became a no-man's land. ”

Hearing the boss's description, Jiang Sake has figured out a lot of some problems that bother him.

At this time, seeing Jiang Sake, who had already listened to the story and fell into deep thought, the boss looked solemn, took out an ancient Chinese copper coin from his arms, and read: "Do you know that one of your companions has fallen under such a curse." ”

Jiang Qingjiu looked at the boss holding the copper coin, his expression was serious, he smiled secretly, and asked, "Ah, curse, what should I do then?"

At this time, the boss smiled proudly, waved the copper coin in his hand, and introduced: "This is one of the few tokens left by those yellow-skinned mysterious people like you back then, this thing can ward off evil spirits, suppress curses, and let your friends live longer." ”

Jiang Qingjiu frowned, nodded and asked, "Yes, how much is this copper coin in your hand?" ”

The boss was happy at this time, and the hundredth order of business was gone. However, seeing that the guest in front of him, whether he was dressed or anything else, he didn't look like he was too rich, so he immediately lowered the price and said: "Guest, you and I are also fated, and being able to save someone's life can be regarded as creation, just fifty." ”

To tell the truth, in the dilapidated temple before, according to the description of Motuo and Cross, they gathered a lot of people from those families back then, these people were already masters, and money was naturally the most indispensable thing, and it can be seen from the things they brought later.

But now the cash on his body is a little stretched.

After touching his pocket, under the expectant gaze of the innkeeper, Jiang Qingjiu took out a dagger from his pocket, which was given to him by Paul before for self-defense, in Paul's words, where there are many people, the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are in chaos.

This scared the innkeeper a lot.

The boss was hesitant, but he didn't expect to encounter a hard stubble, anyway, this thing is not too valuable, and then he plans to give it to Jiang sake for nothing.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Sake suddenly said, "Let's use this dagger in exchange." ”

The innkeeper was already frightened, and he couldn't care if the dagger was worth it or not, so he smiled strongly, took the dagger, handed the copper coin to Jiang Qingjiu, and then left the scene in a gloomy manner.

Jiang Qingjiu lit a cigarette, walked to the window, and looked at the copper coin by the moonlight, long before the boss took out him, Jiang Qingjiu felt a faint power of meditation, and after the boss took out the copper coin, he was able to feel the power at the same time, and also determined the special nature of this copper coin.

Under the moonlight, there is no word such as Qianlong Baotong engraved on this copper coin, and there are whiteboards on both sides, but this thing has a warm illusion in the hand, like a small piece of jade.

"Mr. Sake, so you're here, I've been looking for you for a while. ”

Paul regained some of his spirits, stood beside Jiang Qingjiu, and also saw the copper coin, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Copper coins. ”

"Is that the currency you used in ancient China?"

Jiang Sake nodded.

Paul, apparently not very interested in it, asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

I have to say that they were a little hungry, and the two walked down the corridor to the back kitchen, and under the stunned eyes of the cooks, the two took some food and turned away.

"I've just asked a few people, this place is one of the few small countries to the north, and I have a friend who lives here, and he is also one of the callings of the wizard of Motuo, maybe we can find him first. ”

As Paul ate, he talked about what he had just inquired about.

It's naturally a good thing to have acquaintances, and Jiang Sake agreed: "Yes." ”
