Although the fat boss interrupted my cultivation, I didn't blame him.

Living in this dead and silent ancient town, loneliness is inevitable on weekdays, and I will be happy to suddenly meet a stranger like me.

In addition, the fat boss has a good heart, so I opened my mouth and agreed:

"Okay, I'll go downstairs right away. ”

After the fat boss heard my promise, he immediately said happily, "Okay!" and didn't rush anymore, turned around and walked downstairs.

I cleaned up my breath a little and opened the door.

Because I've been cultivating just now, I didn't turn on the lights even when it was dark.

At this time, I opened the door and found that there were no lights in the inn building, and all the candles were lit.

The candle light has a limited range of illumination, and there are dim shadows everywhere.

From time to time, a cool breeze blew, causing the candles to sway, causing the shadows on the ground to shake with it.

In this ancient attic, it looks particularly weird.

I released some spiritual power slightly, and vigilantly sensed the situation around me.

There's nothing wrong here, it's just a weird atmosphere.

I relieved myself and continued to walk downstairs, the old "creaking" sound of the wooden steps of the attic.

The fat boss kindly shouted downstairs:

"Brother, don't be afraid, you can only use candles when the power is out here. ”

It turned out that the power was cut off.

I responded, "Well, I'm already down." ”

Walking to the first floor, the rich spicy aroma of hot pot fills the room.

The fat boss's inn originally had a simple restaurant on the first floor, so the guy had everything to do.

The hot pot was boiling under the charcoal fire, and the fat boss poured me a small half cup of the second pot head, handed it to me, and said with a smile:

"Drink less?"

Although I don't like to drink, I can drink a little, and I practiced it with my master Xu Youcai.

I took the glass and asked:

"Boss, take the liberty of asking, what about your family?"

The fat boss's hand holding the wine bottle suddenly trembled, it seemed that there was a story.

There was a gloomy wrinkle in front of him, and in an instant, he squeezed out a hearty smile again, waved his hand and smiled:

"Don't mention this...... Come on, get up!"

"The ingredients here are limited, and they are all stocked in the refrigerator, but they are enough for the two of us. ”

"Fat sheep rolls, beef balls, throw them down and cook them to ...... first"

The boss didn't want to say, so I didn't ask more.

I clinked glasses with him and drank a big sip, and the wine was heartburning, which made me unconsciously stammer.

The fat boss was even more direct, and poured half a cup into his mouth.

The two of us don't know each other, and my mind is all about the ancient town in the early morning, so there is nothing to talk about.

And the shopkeeper is even more focused on drinking, as if he has finally found an opportunity to drink.

Half a bottle of wine was soon gone, and I silently scooped up the meat that was about to rot in the hot pot and handed it to the fat boss's bowl.

Asked softly:

"Boss, do you have anything unspeakable?"

The fat boss had already drunk his head, his eyes were red to the root of his ears, he shook his head, but finally raised his hand to cover his eyes with unbearable emotion.

He rubbed his tired eyes vigorously, and said in a choked voice:

"Do you know why I'm staying in this place?"

I shook my head.

The fat boss became more and more emotional, and he even covered his mouth and sobbed:

"I ...... My wife was gone three years ago...... I looked down at the river, turned around, and she was gone...... Gone, disappeared in this ancient town. ”

I frowned slightly.

Gone?

"Then you didn't look for it?"

The fat boss waved his hand:

"I fished it underwater, searched the ancient town, and called the police...... She seems to have evaporated from the world, and no matter how you look for it, you can't find it. ”

At this point, the shopkeeper's drunken eyes became firm.

He pointed out the door behind me:

"But I know that my wife is here, in the ancient town!"

"She'll be back, I'll wait for her all the time......"

The fat boss narrated without a sentence, crying and shouting with the strength of the wine, and his voice became louder and louder.

I know that if he hadn't been with me today, he wouldn't have been like this except for crying secretly.

This hot pot is not in the mood to eat.

I saw him lying on the table with a painful expression, alcohol and heartache, and that expression was worse than death.

So I silently raised my hand and stunned him with a "bang".

He also summoned spiritual power to help him force out the alcohol in his body.

Sitting at the table, I also began to think in my mind, how did this fat boss's wife disappear?

His feeling is not wrong, his wife must still be in the ancient town.

Suddenly disappeared, no one alive, no dead body.

Could it be that he was eaten by the underwater spirit?

Thinking of this, I decisively stood up and walked towards the main entrance.

When he opened the main entrance of the inn, a cold wind suddenly blew across his face, making the little alcohol he had just dissipated.

Facing the entrance of the inn, is the path of the ancient town.

As mentioned earlier, there are no railings here, and the water is very close to the road.

I walked five or six steps forward and came to the edge of the water.

At night, the river looks even darker.

There was no moonlight tonight, and the whole river seemed to be muddy.

The black creatures under the water are none other than the Spirits, and they swim without scruples.

The longest estimate is tens of meters, comparable to a giant whale.

The small ones are only the length of their arms, they have no facial features, no hands, feet and no tails, just like the aquatic plants gathered under the reservoir on weekdays.

Seeing me standing on the shore, several slightly larger spirits approached me.

I can clearly feel that because of my presence, the number of spirits in this area is increasing.

If the fat boss's wife is really eaten by the Spirit, then I guess she will also become a new Spirit.

The Soul Spirit is similar to the Yin Spirit, so I feel that my Dao method must also have an effect.

Just as I was thinking about it, all of a sudden, a bucket-thick spirit suddenly rushed out of the water.

I only heard the sound of "bang-la-la" water, and this spirit pounced on me, and instantly grew a pitch-black mouth.

They had no teeth, swirls of mud in their mouths, trying to devour me.

I stood calmly in place, quickly reciting the mantra in my heart, and then pointed at the illusory drawing.

Just as its jaw was about to envelop me, a glittering soul-calming talisman floated in mid-air.

This is the most basic soul suppression talisman I have learned, and I draw it with my current cultivation, and its power has increased dramatically.

The Soul Calming Talisman sensed the dirt around me approaching, and immediately released a protective layer that enveloped me.

And the Ling, as if electrocuted, quickly retracted as soon as its mouth touched the soul severant.

"Poof!" fell into the middle of the river.

Only a puddle of slime water was left on the ground, proving that it had just arrived.

The big and small spirits around me wanted to rush out and bite me.

As a result, it is estimated that he also felt the power of the soul calming talisman, and they all shrank into the water.
