Chapter 18: The Innkeeper
Little by little over time.
The countless ghost hands stretched out from the gray vortex also absorbed all the people of the Wanxing Moon Mercenary Regiment, and then disappeared.
"Let's go, let's go into the city before it gets dark and find a place to stay, and we can't sleep on the street." β
Luo Mingxuan said to the two after cleaning up.
After a long journey, the three brothers finally arrived at the gates of the city just before the sun was about to set.
The first thing that catches your eye is the three big characters of Guangyang City, and the font glyph is not amazing, but the payment next to it turned out to be Tian Sifan, the city lord of Guangyang City.
This adds a different color to the otherwise plain words.
Then there were the bricks and tiles of the wall, and the cracks in the walls were overgrown with weeds and wild flowers, like jasper powder, and they were very beautiful.
A few people sighed at the grandeur of the city as they walked, but they were stopped by the guards at the gate.
One of the guards said.
"Who are you, I don't know that after the sun sets, no one is allowed to enter and leave Guangyang City. β
Su Dounan said with a smile.
"Brother Guard, you see that the sun is about to set, hasn't it set yet, the three of us brothers have come from afar, we want to go into the city to buy some medicine, I hope that Brother Guard will be accommodating. β
As he spoke, he took out a few gold coins from the storage ring and placed them in the guard's arms.
Looking at the gold coin in his arms, the attitude of the city gate guards eased a little.
"Seven days later, the fairy auction house in the city is going to hold a grand auction, and we are also acting on orders, and we also ask a few little brothers not to be surprised. β
When Su Dounan heard this, he put a few more gold coins into the guard's arms.
"Brother Guard, you can be accommodating and let us in, and the money will be used as a junior brother to invite the brothers to drink. β
Looking at the bulging gold coins in his arms, the eyes of the guards at the city gate crooked, "After you enter the city, find a place to live as soon as possible, and don't wander the streets." β
As he spoke, he put away the fence and let Luo Mingxuan and the others in.
"Why can't they go in? β
"It must be another collection of money. β
"Yes, this group of guards is the one who sees the money. β
The people who eat melons say a word.
"What's the noise, if you don't want to die, get out of here as soon as possible. β
The gate guard raised his spear in his hand and threatened.
The people who watched the guards at the city gate get angry no longer laughed at themselves, and left separately.
Luo Mingxuan and the others, who entered the city, visited several inns but were overcrowded, and finally found an inn with a dilapidated faΓ§ade and walked in.
"Boss, boss. β
After entering, Jun Buping shouted a few times at the top of his voice.
"Ha~ah~"
With a yawn, a man who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old climbed up from the counter.
"One gold coin for one night, no matter what the meal. β
", boss, let's go together. Jun Buping couldn't help but get angry after hearing the innkeeper's words.
"Oh?"
The innkeeper raised his eyelids and wondered.
"You're also a shop, so what are you doing here?"
"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I'm a robber. β
Jun Buping said that he was about to draw his sword.
"Sword of Fire ......"
"Redeem the word, sink into the quagmire. β
The innkeeper's hands were sealed, and a lazy voice came out of his mouth.
Then Jun Buping felt that he was in a deep quagmire, and let him try his best to break free, but it was still fruitless, and his feet seemed to be stepping into the air, and he couldn't do anything.
"Damn, my little temper, I can't stand it. β
Seeing this, Su Dounan hurriedly pulled Jun Buping, who was angry.
"Second brother, what are you stopping me for?"
Jun Buping let out a grumbling of dissatisfaction.
"Shut up. β
After reprimanding Jun Buping for a few words, Su Dounan made amends with the innkeeper, and then took out ten gold coins and put them on the counter.
"Please let the boss prepare us a house where the three of us brothers can rest, and we will stay here for a little longer." β
The innkeeper took the money, broke his spell, and told the three of them where they were staying, and then collapsed on the counter.
"The first room on the left side of the upstairs, the door is not locked, ha~ah~"
After returning to the room, Su Dounan locked the doors and windows, and asked Jun Buping how he felt about being hit just now.
Jun Buping replied, "I just feel like I am in a big quagmire, my body is constantly sinking, and I can't use my strength at all." β
After listening to Jun Buping's words, Su Dounan had such an expression.
"We went into the city to find out the news and find the last two materials to reshape the body, so we tried to cause as little trouble as possible, and if I guessed correctly, he should be using Wudang's gossip technique. β
"Let's rest early, it's not early, and we'll discuss something tomorrow. β
After Luo Mingxuan finished speaking, he found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Su Dounan and Jun Buping also rested one after another.
What they didn't know was that all the conversation they had just had reached the innkeeper's ears.
Early the next morning, Luo Mingxuan climbed onto the roof and cultivated his spiritual power as usual.
But I didn't expect to meet the innkeeper who was also sitting cross-legged on the roof.
Behind the innkeeper, a Tai Chi pattern looms.
"Could it be that he also knows the cultivation method of spiritual power. This is what Luo Mingxuan thinks in his heart.
The two of them didn't bother each other, and they cultivated separately.
When Luo Mingxuan opened his eyes again, the innkeeper had already disappeared in front of him.
Luo Mingxuan returned to the room and told his partner what he had just seen.
After the discussion was fruitless, the group prepared to go to the city to find out what they needed.
On top of the house not far away, the innkeeper wore a hat and looked at them from afar.
A playful smile leaked from the corner of his mouth, "Interesting, the next days will finally not be so boring." β
The innkeeper stretched, jumped off the house, and disappeared into the crowd.
"Er, don't you feel like you had a pair of eyes staring at us just now? β
Luo Mingxuan stared at where the innkeeper was just now, and asked suspiciously.
"Big brother, think about it, I don't feel anything unusual. β
Su Dounan didn't have the same strong spiritual power as Luo Mingxuan, so he didn't perceive the innkeeper's gaze just now.
"Maybe it's because I haven't rested well, and I'm in a tense state, too nervous. β
Luo Mingxuan said this, but his eyes still looked at where the innkeeper was just now.
"Eh, big brother, don't think about it, it's hard to come to Guangyang City, let's see what is delicious and fun everywhere." β
Jun Buping turned around and grabbed Luo Mingxuan, who was still in a daze, and said casually.
As soon as the words fell, Jun Buping felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words.
"No, no, it's just a matter of looking for the next place where the materials are needed. β
Su Dounan glanced at Jun Butong and said.
"Let's go to the biggest tavern in the city, where people like to talk about what they see and hear when they have a good time, and we may get something out there. β
"So what are you waiting for, let's go. β
Jun Buping leaked an impatient expression after hearing the word tavern.
