Chapter 325: Mutual Care 2
Most of what I said to the shopkeeper was my guess, and it could even be said that it was imagination out of thin air.
If my grandfather and they can really attack the inn in a short time, my plan will be successful. If my grandfather can't do this, I'm afraid I'll be the first person to die.
Just a moment later, the sound of killing outside was from far and near, some people's footsteps were retreating, and some people were pressing closer.
My lord, they're in!
When I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the shopkeeper suddenly dragged me up: "Follow me!"
I was dragged out of the secret room by the shopkeeper without any resistance, and I only felt that after I had fallen into darkness, a light suddenly appeared in front of me.
The shopkeeper dragged me into a room. I didn't even know where I had broken in, and the only thing I could see was two opposing stone pillars and a corpse tied to a pillar.
The corpse's clothes had long since been corroded by the years, but the long hair on his head covered his entire body like a black cloth. In addition to being able to tell that the other party was in human form, I couldn't even tell whether he was male or female.
The shopkeeper let go of my arm and walked over to the corpse, and in an instant it merged into the corpse, and the corpse also raised its head, and a blood-red eye peeked out from under its long hair, looking at my face.
It was only then that I saw that he had a shackle on his foot, and that one of his feet had been worn down from the shackles under the calf until only the bone remained. The other foot was intact.
The other party smiled at me and said, "This is our official meeting! I want to show you something." β
As the man spoke, the long hair on his head danced like a snake, and in an instant the skin of the diagonal wall was lifted. An LCD TV attached to a computer case was revealed.
I immediately struck a crack - he already knew I was lying?
The man laughed and said, "I've found that you're the best storyteller." If I didn't control the soul of everyone in the inn, it would be easy for me to be deceived by you. β
A moment ago, I was worried about whether I could break out of the situation, but at this time, I was calm about life and death.
If you have already lost, don't kowtow and beg for your life, because doing so will only get insults from your opponents. Even if the knife is too late, it is just a momentary pain, it is better to grit your teeth and change the dignity of a man.
When I looked at each other with my hands behind my back, the man said, "As you said, I chose the best storyteller to be the innkeeper just to pass the time." I used to be obsessed with your devices, but I soon realized that it was better to make up my own stories, at least to be able to be there. So I also prefer my own games. β
"As for the furnishings in the inn?" the man laughed, "it's all personal preference. After you enter the inn, you've been to a total of three rooms. Don't you notice that some of the rooms are made with ondols, and some are made of bamboo beds? Actually, I'm still very fair, and if the innkeeper can satisfy me, I don't mind giving him the furnishings he wants. β
I miscalculated, and the flaws in the room furnishings may have been deliberately left to me by the other party. Moreover, it has been going on this line of thought.
The man turned his head and said, "Since you're here, don't go." Stay and be the shopkeeper for me! The people in the inn are all talented. There's no more to it. You're a storyteller, and you're the right person to be my shopkeeper. β
I said in a deep voice, "I can stay, but you have to let my friend go." β
The man thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll give you a chance, if you can guess who I am." I'll be able to consider your request. I'll give you half a pillar of incense. β
I shook my head and said, "I don't need to think about half a pillar of incense, I just want to ask, are you negative or dangerous?"
The other party turned his head suddenly, and the blood in his eyes burst out.
Ernegative is the ancient mythology of the god human-faced snake body, is the totem of the combination of man and snake, the fastest running god in ancient times, like to kill, and later became a symbol of the military attachΓ©.
The record of the two negative in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is that the two negative and the dangerous were executed by the emperor because they killed the kiln (read ya two sounds, yu three sounds), and the two of them were tied to the tree with their hands behind their backs and shackles on their right feet when they died. Because two people died together, they were turned into corpses for each other.
The other party said coldly: "How do you know my identity?"
I said lightly: "You have the breath of mountains and seas and strange beasts. I've felt this breath in another person. β
The man's eyes lit up: "Who is that man, and where is it?"
I said truthfully: "That's the corpse of the Koubi! It should have been completely suppressed by the sect monks now, and I don't know exactly where it is. β
The other party seemed to have lost interest, and said with a bit of humor: "Since you have guessed half of my identity, then guess who I am, right? β
"You are in danger. β
I didn't wait for the other party to speak, and said: "You are the corpses of Gu Gu recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the two of them should have been tortured and died together. However, there are also different versions of the statement that the person who is being punished is only one of the two negative and the dangerous. β
"According to legend, danger is the second of the courtiers. But he provoked the second burden to kill the kiln. The Yellow Emperor was furious when he learned the truth, executed the danger, and severely punished the two negatives. He ordered his subordinates to carry Qiqi to Kunlun Mountain, and let several wizards use immortal medicine to revive it, but after Qiqi survived, he was confused and fell into the weak water under Kunlun Mountain, and turned into a beast shaped like a cow, with a red body, a human face, and horse feet, and a cry like a baby's cry. He jumped ashore and harmed the people when he was out on the 10th, and was shot dead by Hou Yi's arrow. β
"I've put together the various versions of what I've said, and I think you're in danger. And not two negatives. β
"You guessed it!" Wei Chang sighed and said, "Originally, the second negative has always been here. Be here with me. The pillar across from me was his dwelling. He has been here with me for countless years. Even when the world of mountains and seas collapsed. He didn't leave. β
But one day, he didn't know who he was bewitched, saying that he wanted to explore the secret of the collapse of the mountain and sea world. Get out of that pillar for a while. I don't want him to go! But I have no reason to let him stay! I can only watch him go. β
"In the beginning, the two will come back. As time passed, he came back less and less. Every day, in addition to watching the sunrise and sunset, I just waited for him to come back. β
"One day, the two really came back. When he came back, he built me such a house. And then he kept building something around until he had covered everything. found me and gave me a secret method. It is a secret method that can turn what you think into reality. Probably you said the secret method of reality!"
At this point, I couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?"
Wei smiled bitterly: "Later, when he left, he told me that this secret method can make you no longer lonely, and I want to do one thing." I'll come back to you when I'm done with that. After that, he never returned. But I've been living here by secret methods. β
Wei Shen took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how many years later, someone finally came here." After being with me for a while, that person also wanted to leave. After he left, I swore that I would never let anyone leave me again, unless I was willing to let him go. I took that person's soul mark, and he couldn't leave, so he could only stay with me here. β
"And then there was a second, a third, and then a second and a third came here one after another. Then a man said to me, "If you want people to come, why don't you make this place an inn?" I thought he had a point, and I had this inn. That person became the first shopkeeper of the inn. β
"Then things are almost as you guessed, the shopkeeper of the inn has changed and changed, and only a few of the guests in the inn remained. The rest of them died in the inn. Our inn has also changed its name and appearance, which continues to this day. It also left countless legends, Jiangbei Inn, which was the last name I gave it, and I didn't bother to change it. β
"Later, I found out that the first tenants were playing storytelling games when they were bored and poor. They deceived the people who came later. I thought it was interesting, so I let it go. Generations of deception continued, and in the end, except for a handful of people, no one knew who the real owner of the inn was. But the story in the inn is getting more and more exciting. β
I said in a deep voice, "The reason why you let Guan Hong out is also like what I guessed?"
"Not exactly!" Wei's voice became a little gloomy: "There are too few tenants in the inn, I have to find some more tenants to come over, right?" Guan Hong didn't know about my existence. He himself felt that he was out looking for opportunities, when in reality, he was just looking for tenants. β
I said in a deep voice: "Is the Jiangbei Inn the Hall of Reality in the Eighteen Halls of the Divine Dao?"
I used to think that the Jiangbei Inn was the Hall of Reality, but now I am doubting my judgment.
According to the dangerous statement, it was the second negative that brought him the secret method of reality. This shows that the original secret method did not come from the inn. It is very likely that this is just the Jiangbei Inn. The two negative and dangerous are the legendary gods, and their use of secret methods is even more terrifying. This is the reason why Jiangbei Inn is regarded by me as a hall of reality.
"What Reality Temple?" Wei really didn't know the source of the secret method.
I said in a deep voice, "We're not going to talk about that. I've guessed who you are, it's time for you to let go of my friend. β
Wei Haha smiled: "I just said that I would consider it, but I didn't say that I would definitely let your friend go." You're thinking too much. β
"If you don't keep your word, you will pay a price!" my voice suddenly chilled.
