Chapter 32: The Trap of the Taoist Priest
Qi Yunfeng's matter is over, even if there is a not very satisfactory but also improvised, Zhu Yifei packed up his mood and followed Ziyang back to Taijing, at this time it was almost five or six o'clock in the morning, the city gate had already been opened, and the people living inside and outside Taijing also walked back and forth, and when they met acquaintances, they either went to the stall to eat some pancake fritters together, or they said a few words to each other and went their separate ways.

In this kind of prosperous place, Ziyang is not easy to fly around in the clouds, after all, most of the cultivation things have to be carried by people, if nothing else, it is to hide the cause and effect, and accidentally get into trouble and then clean up the mess by himself, not to mention, it will also affect the fruit position of ascending to the immortal in the future.
Walking into the city, turning a few corners and coming to an inn, Ziyang said to Zhu Yifei, "You live here first and wait for my news." ”
She looked up at the wooden plaque, which was neither new nor old, with a few words engraved on it that she only half recognized, and asked in a daze, "What kind of place is this?" ”
"Pingtian Inn, I have an old acquaintance with this shopkeeper, and I have already told him that I have a room in it, you live here first, and I will come to you at night." Ziyang was about to leave as he spoke, but Zhu Yifei hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "By the way, you haven't said what you want me to do?" ”
Ziyang smiled and said, "For the time being, you will stay here for the time being, remember that no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave that room, and I will come back after the second watch." After that, he didn't pay attention to her anymore and left as soon as he pulled his sleeves, and he didn't say which room was the second watch of the second day and the tenth of the day.
Zhu Yifei was also a little tired, so she didn't care about eating and lodging, and entered the inn, it was breakfast time, the shop had just opened, and there were not many people, plus her hair was messy and untied to block her face, so she didn't attract much attention, but the boss at the counter saw her and smiled, "You are Miss Zhu, Ziyang Immortal told me, come, you follow me to the backyard." ”
Zhu Yifei also politely agreed, and followed to the backyard with her front and back feet, but she passed through several courtyards in a row, and she couldn't even count the doors, and the shopkeeper still didn't stop. She asked, "Where are you going?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Soon, soon, it's coming soon." Then he quickened his pace, Zhu Yifei was embarrassed to ask again when he saw that he had a good attitude, thinking that since he was an old acquaintance of a Taoist priest, he should not be a bad person, so he simply took a bold step to follow.
Seeing that they were about to walk out of most of the residential area, the shopkeeper finally came to a courtyard door, this door is different from the previous ones, it is locked, and the lock is very large, it has been rusty, the shopkeeper opened the door lock and turned to Zhu Yifei and smiled, "Girl, just this yard, the key will be left for you, I will ask the guy to bring you food later, you can rest first." Without waiting for her to answer, he turned around and left in a hurry.
She didn't care, it is estimated that the people who do business are like rain and wind, the front hall may have some important things to take care of, so that the shopkeeper can personally send it over is considered to be a good hospitality, push the door in, it is a very spacious yard, the middle is the hall, the two toilets are the east and west wings, there is a big stone jar in the middle of the yard, she knows that this is a fish farming, I saw this when I was in Huaifu, I stepped forward to take a look, there is only more than an inch of water in it, the gray and white low bottom is yellow and black mixed with mud, and some withered leaves are piled up on one side, Raised the hand that had just been placed on the edge, the five hands were covered with dust, patted with disgust, wanted to find some water to wash his hands, just looked around, saw a dead tree with a crooked neck, there was a big vat under the dead tree, she walked over to see that it was okay, the tank was full, and directly put her hand in to wash it, although it was late autumn, Taijing was not very cold, morning and evening were three or four degrees, so the water was not very cold. After washing my hands, I walked around the yard twice to see if it was OK, although it was a little remote but very exquisite, if I lived in such a big yard before, I would definitely be afraid, but now, I have seen some demons and monsters, and my heart is much better than before, and she herself is not a person, and it is estimated that no one will find the same kind of stubble.
Thinking about it, he pushed open the door of the main hall, the hall of this guest is still very clean, the strange thing is that it looks like it hasn't lived for a long time but it is spotless, there is a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall just above, this painting seems to be soaked in water and then dried, what the painting is can no longer see, the painting is directly below the square table of the four corners, there are chairs on both sides, the two doors on the left and right of the hall are each hung with a bamboo curtain, and the bamboo curtain is the bedroom, the bedroom of the east wing room has only a bed and a small dresser, clean and tidy, sitting on the bed Zhu Yifei nodded, well, Very comfortable and very soft. Stood up and rummaged through the cabinet, there was nothing in it, only a bronze mirror on the top table, which was covered with green rust, and it was no longer usable.
When he walked out of the east wing and was about to go to the west wing, someone outside the door suddenly shouted, "Is Miss Zhu here?" Meals are delivered. ”
Zhu Yifei walked out of the main hall and saw a group of people standing at the gate, tiptoeing to look in, looking a little hesitant and strange, and when she came out, she couldn't help but say that she put the lunch box at the door and said, "Girl, you eat first, and I'll pick it up at noon." After saying that, he slipped away without looking back.
Zhu Yifei said to herself in wonder, "This inn is very hot, it's really busy, and I don't hire two more guys." Said came to the door and picked up the lunch box to the hall to sit down and open it, and looked, it was really good, there were meat and vegetarian soups and meat, four dishes and a bowl of rice were quite hearty, and you were not polite and began to put them one by one, I was feeling thirsty after eating, the guy came again just now, this time I sent a big pot of tea, I wish Yifei finally had time to say thank you, and the guy smiled and said yes and left.
I haven't eaten human food for a long time, I really can't hold back, I was a little sleepy after drinking some hot tea after a full meal, I opened the curtain and came to the east wing room to lie on the bed and fell asleep.
I slept until the night, I didn't cover the quilt when I was very hot when I slept, but I didn't expect the sun to go down and start to sleep more and more cold at night, and it was still cold to wrap the quilt in a daze, and then the whole body was retracted into the quilt and it didn't work, I felt that the cold was a little unusual, the biting cold, as if it could penetrate all obstacles, how could she sleep, crawled out of the quilt and opened her eyes to see, it was pitch black.
I was a little stunned for a while, only to know that it was getting dark, can't I, I slept for a day after breakfast at seven or eight o'clock? Hurriedly lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, groped for the oil lamp, and then could see more clearly in a trance.
Carrying an oil lamp to the courtyard, but it was really dark and windless, there was not even a star in the sky, and there were faint shadows of several boxes at the open door, Zhu Yifei stepped forward to take a look, there were two lunch boxes and a pot of tea, all of which were already cold, she took the rice in her hand and was taking it back to the house, just heard the sound of knocking on the bell tower, and then the sound of shouting came from the back alley, "Three watches, the weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle." ”
Zhu Yifei was an agitated spirit, she actually slept directly from breakfast to midnight, shouldn't it be that she was drugged in the meal, thinking about it like this, she couldn't sit still, and began to walk back and forth in the courtyard, looking at the place outside the courtyard gate and thinking of Ziyang's words, saying that she couldn't leave the house no matter what, just hesitated with one foot in and one foot outside, the light in the west wing suddenly turned on, accompanied by women crying and noisy and men scolding.
Zhu Yifei turned her head, only to see a man dragging the woman's hair out of the West Wing, the man was wearing a gray-white wide-sleeved oblique gown, his black hair was tied high in the crown, he was slender, very tall, about one meter or eight, he looked white, tender and clean, it was this eyebrow with a sinister aura, the woman was wearing an emerald green skirt, a small pink jacket, and a palm-sized little face with a pale face, just like rubbing three jars of BB cream and then taking two layers of thick setting powder, white and scary, Half-sitting on the ground, the man pulled his long hair fiercely, his two hands protected his head, and the loose placket revealed a pink belly pocket embroidered with white peonies and large bruises in blue and purple.
The man dragged the woman to the dead tree in the yard, punched and kicked, and scolded and scolded all the ugly words, what **** shameless or something, the woman still had the strength to cry and struggle a few times before, but then she had become a puddle of dead pork, lying on the ground and being bullied.
How can I stand this Zhu Yifei, the original doubts and fears have long been carried away by anger, turned around and ran back to the hall, picked up the empty food box on the table, slipped to the man in three or two steps, and smashed it on the back of his neck.
The man was smashed and fainted, and lay on the ground with a pop, Zhu Yifei kicked him again in anger, and was about to turn around to help the woman, but the woman got up from the ground at some point and was standing on the edge of the water tank, and jumped down with a pop.
"Hey, sister." The woman looks like she is sixteen or seventeen years old, and her figure is very petite, about one meter five or six, similar to the water tank, this jump down sincerely will definitely drown, she knows that this woman has a heart of suicide, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, she ran to the water tank in three or two steps and reached out to the inside, but fished a few handfuls and did not touch anything, at this time I remembered that the oil lamp came, and I took the oil lamp to see an empty tank of clean water, nothing, and turned my head to look at the ground, the man was gone.
To say that Zhu Yifei's second is not an ordinary two, the two are a little tired, usually a few friends are in a hurry with her, then others are flickering and turning in circles, the peripheral nerves are not only long but also knotted, usually good for people, such an abnormal thing instead of pondering and pondering, but also carrying an oil lamp began to look all over the yard.
"Let's go to the West Wing." She carried the oil lamp to the west wing, the light in the west wing has been on, she didn't go to see and sleep for a day during the day, originally thought that the west wing was Ziyang kept to live in herself, now I pondered it, it is estimated that foreign couples also rent here, the general inn has a lot of tenants from other places, this is not surprising, I went out during the day, came back at night, the little couple made a conflict, she was not an outsider to interfere too much, thinking about the footsteps stopped, ancient than modern, It's just that many family disputes in modern times are not easy for others to interfere too much, forget it, let's go back to sleep in our own room.
Zhu Yifei turned around and returned to the east wing, lying on the bed and tossing and turning for a long time but couldn't sleep, it was estimated that she slept too much during the day, so she sat up again and began to be in a daze, and after a while, the west wing room began to come out again, this time the sound was a little weird, she quietly approached the bamboo curtain and heard it, but she still couldn't hear it really, but the curiosity in her heart became heavier and heavier, and slowly opened the bead curtain, she didn't dare to lift the oil lamp, and quietly walked through the hall by herself, When I looked at the clearer and clearer voice and the bamboo curtain with a slight slit, I was taken aback.
