Chapter 408: The Undercurrent of the Inn (Part I)
When Jinhuang and Yunhua arrived, Dragon Slayer Town was blowing a terrible sandstorm.
The sky seemed to be covered with a curtain of dust, and a powerful tornado swept the dust and gravel on the ground into the air, scraping his cheeks and causing a burning pain. The eyes are full of flying sand and rocks, so blurry that it is almost impossible to distinguish the direction.
In this kind of weather, it is impossible to use a flying magic weapon.
Jinhuang was covered with a cloak and a hood on his head, and was tightly protected by Yunhua in his arms, and the two walked along the street with difficulty.
In Dragon Slaying Town, all the houses are made of mud, and all the walls are mud-colored. The doors of the markets and houses on both sides of the street are closed, and the streets are empty, and in such weather, it looks indescribably desolate.
About the time I walked to the center of the town, I finally saw the long-awaited inn.
The gray earth, mud-colored walls, and even the logs supporting the plaques are covered with yellow sand, and everywhere there are traces left by the sandstorms that have lasted for years. However, in such ghost weather, even if it is just a tile head with a place to cover the roof, it is better than standing outside and eating wind and sand.
Jin Huang and Yun Hua stepped forward and knocked on the door to call people.
I don't know if it was the sharp wind whistle that blew their voices away, or something else, but the two of them called for a long time before someone belatedly pulled the door open a small crack. Behind the gap was a small yellow face, looking very immature, not tall, thin and small can block the crack in the door, looking only about ten years old.
"The store is full, so let's go somewhere else. "Then sew the door shut.
Jin Huang stretched out his hand, pressed one palm against the door, and with the other hand, he pulled off the hood, revealing a somewhat tired face, and said softly to the little boy: "We inquired before, there is only this inn in this dragon slaying town. You can also see that the wind and sand are so big outside, we are not familiar with the place, and we don't know where to live. Please also ask the little brother to make it convenient, let us in to avoid it, and take a break with hot tea. ”
The little boy didn't speak, but a pair of dripping eyes looked at the two of them from top to bottom very quickly, as if thinking in his heart, and finally let go after a long pause, "Okay, come in." As he spoke, he pulled the crack in the door a little wider.
Jin Huang and Yun Hua flashed inside.
The crack in the door was wide open, and the wind through the hall suddenly intensified, blowing inward. The two reflexively helped the little boy close the door hard, fastened the door bolt, and turned around, only to see more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at them in the room.
Jin Huang and Yun Hua glanced at each other, and saw the same message in each other's eyes, "silently".
"Didn't you want to send them away?" said a white-haired old man with a stiff back from behind the counter, pulling the boy to the side and whispering.
The boy lowered his head and pursed his mouth without speaking.
Seeing him like this, the white-haired old man sighed, walked up to Jinhuang and Yunhua, and said politely: "The two distinguished guests sit casually, what do you want to come?"
"Let's have a pot of tea. Yun Hua said: "Shopkeeper, ask you something, when will this black sandstorm pass?"
"It won't clear up until at least the day after tomorrow. ”
Yun Hua nodded, answered "yes", and walked down from the table.
The tea soon came up, and the little boy put down the teapot, lowered his head and whispered to the two, "You guys should leave quickly after drinking the tea." "It looked like he was afraid of something.
Neither Jinhuang nor Yun Hua spoke, only nodded at him, neither responding nor vetoing.
Jin Huang picked up the teapot and poured some hot tea into the cup, twisting it between his fingers and gently swaying it back and forth. It can be clearly felt that most of the eyes cast on them around them have been closed, but there are still a few eyes still looking at the two of them as if they were nothing.
What the dealer "Lao Zhao" said on Canggu Road is not false at all, there is indeed a vision in the vicinity. He is not a monk, he doesn't know the reason for the beast tide, he only says that he is lucky against the sky, however, the heart of the cultivators of Jinhuang and others is open.
Sometimes, some high-ranking beasts are no less sensitive than monks, and they will take the first step to detect before people can react, and follow their instinct to save their lives to escape from danger, which is often caused by beast tides. Therefore, behind the beast tide is a vision, and the vision represents a very likely strange treasure.
Lao Zhao also mentioned that he encountered a beast tide near Puzhou. However, when Jinhuang and the others really approached, they clearly sensed that it was the dragon slaying town that was completely different from Puzhou, not Puzhou.
Jin Huang and Yun Hua can sense it, and other cultivators can naturally do it. This dragon slaying town suddenly poured into a lot of loose cultivators, I am afraid that they are all for the so-called "strange treasure".
However, the weather here is strange and harsh, and there have been sandstorms for several days before the two arrived. In such weather, no one would want to venture out, so naturally they all gathered in the only inn in town.
However, it seems that there is more than just casual cultivation here, and when the Jinhuang general entered the door and swept his eyes over the lobby, he had already noticed a table of five people in the corner. Although they disguised themselves and deliberately hid their aura, with her experience in so many lifetimes, it was not difficult to see that these people were from the Demon Dao.
Judging from the strange undercurrent in the lobby when entering the door, I believe that some of these casual cultivators have already seen through their identities.
Jin Huang put the hot tea cup in front of Yun Hua, glanced at him, and without words, he already understood that the other party had the same doubts as himself.
Could it be that this group of demon cultivators appeared in Dragon Slaying Town to grab the treasure? Or did they have another purpose?
The huge lobby was obviously almost full, but no one spoke, each eating tea silently, and the atmosphere was strange and terrifying.
Finally, after a while, someone kicked off the stool under his feet and stood up from the table. In an instant, a solemn aura spread through the air, and almost everyone's thoughts were placed on this person.
The man, however, seemed unaware, calmly walking through the lobby and stepping up the stairs next to the counter. The old planks creaked and creaked all the way to the second floor, where they didn't retract their gaze until the man walked into the room.
With such a tense atmosphere, it seems that as long as there is an opportunity, the whole lobby will explode in an instant.
Jinhuang and Yun Hua looked at each other again, she put down the teacup, stood up from her seat, and Yun Hua also got up.
She walked towards the counter without squinting, and the tense scene reappeared, the only difference was that this time the other people were looking at the two of them.
The corners of the Jinhuang cloak brushed the table legs, and she even felt the tight texture under these loose cultivation robes, as if as long as she moved, the other party would fight back.
