Chapter One Hundred and One Friends

Today is the afternoon of the first day of the second lunar month, and there are still more than two days and two nights before the day when the ghost world is opened, and judging from that instruction, even if the ghost is lured to live in the rich inn, he still needs something else.

Otherwise, there would be no deadline.

So knowing that something is going to happen before tomorrow night.

The innkeeper recorded the corresponding ghost guide number in the account book when they moved in, and if the person behind the scenes wanted to open the permission for the ghost guide in the hands of the inn guest, he would inevitably need the complete information of the guest.

Books of accounts are essential.

Of course, the guys in this inn may also be involved, especially the innkeeper, who silently writes down the ghost number when registering the guests, and then opens the permission for the ghost guide through other means.

Therefore, the account books, the innkeeper and the work of the inn, and even all the people who have been to the inn counter, are suspicious.

In order to avoid startling the snake and alarming the people behind the scenes, they didn't even think about the possibility of catching the innkeeper or the guy. Xu Heng once inquired about the current inn's employer with them in the case of upholding the Chengying Sword and pointing directly to the heart.

After all, it is rare for an employer to charter an entire inn and use ghosts as a secret mark.

The innkeeper was very strict about the matter, and looked like he was going to keep it a secret for his employer.

But in the eyes of Xu Heng, who has the sword of Chengying, he only felt his greedy emotions, and there was no nervousness about revealing other people's affairs, but he was able to blow up a sum of money. Knowing this emotion, Xu Heng naturally would not be fooled into giving money.

Xu Heng's decisive departure made the boss stunned for a long time, and he stayed in place for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

Based on this, they began to take action to monitor the important clues mentioned above.

Xu Heng and Pu Feng, after disguised themselves, sat in two different corners on the first floor of the inn to ask for wine and food, pretending to be guests, constantly monitoring the innkeeper, the account books on the counter, and anyone who tried to approach the account books on the counter;

Su Su and Shangguan Tingxue were not so good at communicating with the two men compared to the two men, so they stayed in the hidden place on the roof of the inn, focusing on monitoring the back door of the inn, and the hidden people were also their key targets.

Shangguan Tingxue's arrival can be said to be just right, her spells are strong and infinitely useful, and they can be used in many places.

For example, while accompanying Su Su to monitor, he concealed his figure, planted a mark on the innkeeper and his buddies to secretly monitor, in case they changed their clothes and escaped, and even searched for souls if necessary.

The appearance of the all-rounder provides a lot of convenience for their exploration.

It can be said that it is a charcoal in the snow.

This plan was formulated after they had found nothing around the city and returned to the inn room to deliberate, and it was inevitable that after the four of them repeatedly worked out the details, they immediately began to implement it.

It was nearly evening, and they went down to have dinner together, and then the four of them went upstairs and went out.

A moment later, two men dressed in ordinary clothes walked into the inn one after the other, and asked for food and drinks in a place where they were not in use, and in the empty space where no one was looking, two invisible figures quietly arrived, and after finding their place, they never moved again.

From top to bottom, from objects to people, the entire inn was closely monitored.

Time flies long and uninteresting when spying on someone.

The innkeeper and his buddies, and even the guests, did not show any abnormalities on the night of the first day of the new year and the day of the second day of the new year, and it was not until the inn closed late at night on the night of the second night that the owner of the inn showed his fox tail.

Under the cover of night, the middle-aged and slightly chubby innkeeper changed into an inconspicuous dress and quietly slipped out of the back door of the inn.

As soon as he went out, he was discovered by Shangguan Tingxue, and a girl who was almost annoyed to death during the day on the roof of the building jumped up and pulled Su Su to jump down. As a result, he was pulled by a calm and calm woman.

"Sister Su, hurry up and chase it!" Shangguan Tingxue pointed to the man who was walking in the night in a hurry, he was very excited, and he couldn't wait to catch up, "Or let him run!"

"It's okay, your brother has already caught up. Su Su pointed into the darkness, and a figure crisscrossing over the roof came into view.

The girl looked at it and found that it was indeed Xu Heng, who was sneaking around in black.

"I can't chase ......," the girl thought disappointedly.

After Su Su saw that the girl didn't have the idea of running forward, she gently pulled her and let her sit beside her, "Inn owner, your brother can cook, in order to prevent the tiger from leaving the mountain, we also need to monitor it well." ”

"Ah......" Hearing that the boring surveillance would continue, Shangguan Tingxue frowned, "Okay." ”

Shangguan Tingxue is a surveillance artifact that can monitor the Fugui Inn in all directions, and she also wants to ensure the monitoring of the entire inn, no matter what time she has to sit in the inn, once there is a suspicious person, naturally someone else will follow to confirm. She doesn't need to do anything.

Su Su's eyes flashed, sensing the little girl's chagrin, so she reached out and took the girl into her arms without saying anything.

The girl slowly calmed down in her warm embrace, she glanced at her eyes and closed her mind, a powerful divine thought covering the entire inn, and all the characters and things in it were meticulously revealed, and not a single thing was missed.

"Sister Su, I'll keep a good watch. The girl clenched her small fists and said firmly.

Su Su didn't say a word, still scanning the several exits of the inn, paying attention to suspicious characters.

Just hugged the girl's hand tightly,

……

The innkeeper went out late at night to change his clothes, and at first glance it was a very suspicious behavior, Xu Heng immediately followed after signaling with the agreed code.

The chubby boss was dressed in ordinary clothes and walked cautiously in the streets and alleys around the city.

Xu Heng cautiously followed in the houses in the city, on the one hand, not to let the boss find out, and on the other hand, in order to be careful of the followers who might follow behind the boss.

After following all the way, the possibility of the second concern was basically ruled out, and the first, the boss was so focused on walking that he didn't realize that there were people following behind.

The innkeeper finally crossed most of the city, entered a somewhat dilapidated street, pushed open a false door, and couldn't wait to dodge into a lonely room lit on a cold night.

Xu Heng stood quietly in the not-so-tidy courtyard, listening to the sound of warblers and swallows coming from the room, crying and laughing in his heart.

"Come out at night, just to have an affair?"

The people standing in the darkness in the courtyard were a little crying and laughing.

His gaze swept across the courtyard, and his heart extended into the room with the shadow of the sword, taking the details into his eyes, and Xu Heng had a complete understanding of this matter.

"The young widow has been widowed for many years, and she is lonely, so she secretly communicates with a powerful innkeeper, which can not only relieve loneliness, but also improve life, so the two of them will burn a happy fire every three or five times......

"The widow's funeral has been completed, and the innkeeper doesn't have a wife, you love me, why don't you marry the widow Ming Media back?"

Xu Heng shook his head, put the idea of ignoring his own affairs behind, and thought about the things that were important to him at the moment:

Judging from the traces of life in the room, there is nothing unusual about the young widow, and it has been a long time since she and the innkeeper have been on good terms. It doesn't seem like it happened recently, so her suspicion has been removed quite a bit.

And the innkeeper, in the clothes he took off in the lingering, there was nothing but a little silver, and he didn't take out the account book, and after following him all the way, Xu Heng was also sure that he didn't do anything on the road.

"If that's the case......"

Xu Heng slowly sat cross-legged in the shadow of the roof, watching the movement in the room, gradually blending into the darkness.

Squatting, the most important thing is time.

Although it is difficult to prove the right choice at the beginning of the squatting, if you don't stick to it, then this is wrong.

Xu Heng waited until dawn, listening to the lingering below, the two of them finished whispering sweetly, the boss got dressed and was about to leave, and the pretty widow reluctantly bowed her head to send each other......

It wasn't until the sky was clear that Xu Heng was sure that his choice was wrong.

Squatting and holding out found nothing.

But in the end, Xu Heng did not relax, closely monitored the innkeeper's every move, and returned to the inn before daylight.

On the third day of the second lunar month, the sky began to be gloomy from midnight and remained after dawn. The sun only came out for a short time before it was obscured by the clouds that gradually filled the sky. In the darkness, Xu Heng came to the location of the squatting inn. wanted to hand over to Pu Feng, but found that the latter had left.

"Where?"

With questions, Xu Heng searched all the hidden locations around the inn, but he didn't see the figure of the Bladeless Sword Master, and he signaled Su Su on the roof with a flick of his fingers, but there was no response.

"Could something be wrong?"

He suddenly became nervous, and when he went up to the roof of the inn to see if there were any traces left by one large and one small, he saw the handwriting left on the roof.

"Brother, we are waiting for you in the room".

The handwriting was crooked, but Xu Heng recognized that it was Shangguan Tingxue's handwriting. The girl actually doesn't know how to write at all, and the handwriting in the letters she sent when she was the princess of the rivers and lakes in Xijing Erfu was ghostwritten by Jiang Zuo, and it is hard to imagine that the quiet black-clothed young man would have such a delicate and lovely handwriting.

Xu Heng was also surprised when he saw the messy handwritten book of the princess of the rivers and lakes.

When he was in the Qi Palace, Xu Jin took a lot of calligraphy with him to listen to Xuelin, but unfortunately they were all useless.

Xu Heng was very familiar with his sister's handwriting, and confirmed that it was not copied by others, so he put his mind at ease and calmly walked through the window into the room. After a pause in this empty room for easy walking, I changed my outfit and regrouped my spirits, and walked out of the room with my hands held high.

In the early morning, there was no one in the corridor, Xu Heng walked leisurely to the door of the room, knocked three times, waited for a while, and the door was opened by the woman who came over.

"We know how to lure ghosts into ghost towns!"

Knowing what Xu Heng was concerned about, Su Su said what the man cared about as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xu Heng nodded, looked around and walked into the room of the two women.

"Is it actually in the City Lord's Mansion?" After listening to Su Su's experience last night, Xu Heng tapped his temple with his index finger and groaned for a moment, sighing, "I didn't expect that the court officials would collude with such a force as the ghost city of Xudu. ”

"If you have the chance, it's best to visit this Dinghuan City Lord and see what he's doing. ”

"The guy who was hiding in the inn was full of spells, if it weren't for Tingxue's keen senses, we would almost not have found him, I expected that Pu Feng couldn't keep up with him, and in an emergency, Tingxue took me to chase him,"

Su Su sat on the edge of the bed, caressing the sleeping girl's sleeping face, while talking about the scene at that time,

"We followed the guy to the city lord's mansion, and saw him talking to someone who seemed to be the city lord, after which the man hurriedly wrote a text full of paper, and in the empty courtyard, he knelt down and burned it. Because that guy's mana is so strong, it's hard to get close to Tingxue, so we don't know what is written in it, but I think it should be a letter to communicate with the ghost town of Grace. ”

"The fellow seemed to notice something, and instead of returning to the inn, he went out of the city, and his speed was suddenly doubled, and the snow took me after him, and we returned. ”

After coming back, Tingxue, who hadn't slept all night, fell asleep next to the pillow because she was tired and sleepy. ”

Xu Heng looked at the girl's cute sleeping face, and a smile appeared on his face: "Well, this little girl has made a great contribution!" Xu Heng was happy in his heart, but suddenly there was a little uneasiness, "You all said what happened last night, what about Pu Feng, where did Pu Feng go?"

"Pu Feng?" Su Su asked in surprise, "When we left, we said okay, we went to chase, he continued to guard outside the inn, and when we came back, we didn't see him and thought he was going out with you to do something," Su Su said and realized that something was wrong, and said in surprise, "Isn't he with you?"

"No," Xu Heng's expression became serious, "I just came back, I haven't seen Pu Feng before." ”

"Could it be that something happened to Pu Feng?" Su Su exclaimed.

"I'm afraid it's not just Pu Feng," Xu Heng looked at the girl who was sleeping on the bed, his heart was full of gloom, "Will you be sleepy like this if you don't sleep all night listening to Xuexue?"

……

The clouds were overcast, the sky was gloomy, and there was a forest outside the city, and above the woods, there was a young man who was stepping on the treetops that swayed with the cloudy wind.

The young man was dressed as an inn guy, his figure was thin, but his face was delicate. He had already walked a long distance, and at a certain moment, he suddenly stopped and saw the black-clothed boy suddenly appearing in front of him.

He was not annoyed when he was blocked, and he was even quite happy, with a kind smile on his delicate face.

"Hey, why are you in my way?"

The black-clothed young man on the opposite side had no actions or words for a long time except for his sudden appearance, but the young man had his own affairs and couldn't wait too long, so he had to take the initiative to speak. But even if he took the initiative himself, the young man in black still stood there quietly, watching the guy not speak.

He had to say again: "Is there something wrong? If it's okay, I'm leaving, I'm very busy now, I don't have time to play with you!"

There was another moment of silence, and the treetops under their feet continued to shake with the ever-increasing yin wind, but the two people in the treetops did not move at all.

The man frowned, time was running out, he didn't have time to delay, he just wanted to speak again.

The black-clothed young man on the opposite side suddenly spoke: "You...... It's the same existence as me?"

There was a lot of hesitation in the words, and it seemed that he had an idea about the identity of the boy opposite, but he hesitated and didn't dare to be sure.

"Yes, yes, we are indeed the same kind of 'thing' at the same time," the man on the other side finally spoke, and the young man smiled happily again, "but you are much better than me, you have all ended the cause and effect, and you are unrestrained,"

The young man shook the handsome man who had been holding it in his hand, and his tone was dissatisfied: "But I still have to be busy for the master......"
