Chapter 209, Yunlai Inn

Sunset City is an old town, more of a town than a city, the dilapidated city walls have long been weathered, most of them have collapsed, there are very few pedestrians in the street, and it is deserted, just like his name, Sunset City, Sunset West Mountain.

This city used to be very prosperous, in the old days there was an ancient legend here, the legend is that in ancient times there were nine days in the sky, originally one day and one day, the cycle appeared, but somehow, for several years in a row, nine days together, the scorching sun baked the earth like a copper furnace, the rivers and lakes evaporated, the grass and trees dried up, the sky fell on fire, the land cracked, and the people were not able to make a living.

Later, a god was born, with mulberry wood as a bow, dragon tendon as a string, with the origin of the center of the earth as an arrow, with a longbow, shoot a long arrow, and shoot down eight great suns in one breath, one of which is here, so this city is named Sunset City.

The city was extremely deserted, and the shops on the main street were closed, except for the Yunlai Inn, which was close to the west of the city, was still open.

The old signboard was threaded with wire, and it creaked in the wind.

The shopkeeper of the inn was an old man named Liu Papi, because he was very particular about doing business, everything had to be calculated with money, and his mind was extremely shrewd, so someone gave him a nickname, called Liu Papi, which meant that anyone who met him would be stripped off a layer of skin.

In recent years, there have been mountain bandits plundering, and there are rumors of ghosts and monsters in the city, and slowly, Sunset City has become more and more dilapidated.

There were many people leaving, but few people entering, and the city seemed to be an isolated city.

Liu's business is even more difficult.

When Sunset City was prosperous, Liu Papi had eight junior two and three shops, and the business was poor, and the number of junior two and the number of shops also decreased, and now there was only this store that he had exchanged all his savings for, and he was the only one left in the store.

He is old, he just wants to live a stable and peaceful life, if this city will eventually become a tomb, Liu Papi is willing to bury himself here.

He didn't want to move anymore, there were his memories here, there was his former glory.

Dusk, the twilight of spring is not only extremely short, but also extremely cold, Liu Papi sighed, looked at the deserted street, he knew that the day had passed again.

He lifted the door panel in the corner, intending to close the door early, stir-fry a side dish, and drink two glasses alone.

When the mood is not good, wine is a good thing, and when you are slightly drunk, you have no worries, you just want to sleep, even if you don't wake up, if you are lucky, you can still have a good dream.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and Liu Papi's cloudy eyes lit up.

At this time, such a rapid sound of horses' hooves had not sounded for many years, and suddenly, Liu Papi felt that the whole town was full of vitality.

"Listening to the sound of hooves, it shouldn't be a horse, it's going to be dark, if you don't hurry up, once you settle down... ”

"This inn in this town is the only one left of you, and the business is here!"

Thinking of this, Liu Papi hurriedly put the door panel in his hand back and lit the oil lamp again.

If it was usual, he would naturally not light the lamp at this time, and he was reluctant to use lamp oil, so he couldn't care so much at this time.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, the sound of horses' hooves stopped outside the store, and three men and two women came in from outside the door.

At the foreground was a one-armed young man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, extremely strong, with a large knife hanging on his back, the blade of which was sealed with animal skin, and the back of the knife was a row of iron rings, which collided with each other as he walked, and the sound of 'clanging' was non-stop.

The next two men and two women were all dressed in strong clothes, with short spears and long swords, and each with a weapon.

Although several people looked tired, they were in good spirits.

Liu Papi has also seen the world, and as soon as a few people entered the store, they knew that these people were good players in the rivers and lakes.

He had heard people talk about the rivers and lakes, and it was rumored that they were robbers who came out of the great rivers and lakes.

He hurriedly picked up a rag from the counter and hung it on his shoulder, trotted over, and shouted, "How many guest officers, do you want to stay overnight or eat?"

The one-armed man with the knife glanced at the store, frowned, and walked towards the table in the back, saying as he went, "Wild things and poultry, all kinds of food and wine." ”

Liu Papi made a difficulty, business has not been good in recent years, and some food materials will inevitably be prepared less, where do the wild things come from? There is no way, so I have to tell the truth.

When the one-armed man heard this, he nodded, but the few people behind him were not easy to deal with, and he spoke coldly, which made Liu Papi angry, but when he thought of the hard-won business, and the other party was not easy to mess with, he endured it.

Then two women and one man came to the store.

The two women are fairy-like people, purple and white, each with their own style, but their faces are cold and unpretended, which makes people daunting.

The big man behind him looked like a servant of the courtyard, tall and strong, with gloomy eyes, a tall and long nose, and thin and pointed lips.

The three of them found a table and sat down, and the big man opened his mouth and threw a cold sentence: "Serve the delicious food in the store." ”

Although Liu Papi was angry, he was a big customer, and he didn't feel uncomfortable, but there were too few people in the store, which made him difficult, and he only felt that his father and mother were missing four hands, and two hands couldn't be busy at all.

But I don't know that the God of Wealth has entered the door today, and Liu Papi has just turned around in the kitchen, no, two men and two women came outside the store, and the man has a long box hanging on his back, boxy, and the patterns on it are simple and beautiful, and I don't know what is inside?

The man followed two women left and right, skin like snow, face like jade, white clothes fluttering without dust, three points better than the two women who came in before.

But the golden-clothed man behind the three of them couldn't see what their identity was, like a follower, but they were rich and noble, if they were outsiders, they would be respectful to the two women, like servants.

It is said that the four people who came in were Tang Bai, White Lotus, Xue'er and Golden Eagle.

The four of them left the tribe, and along the way, there were few people, barren mountains and bad waters, and wild beasts were rampant.

According to the map of the Mudao people, with the strength of the golden eagle's feet, it was thought that it would take a few days to reach the Southern Vermilion Bird Domain, but when the people were really seen, it was half a month later.

I don't know how the primitive tribe moved to the edge of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and has been completely isolated from humans.

The sword blank given by the patriarch was very strange, not only heavy, but also uncontrolled by thoughts, and could not be included in the purple gold ring at all.

Bai Lian didn't know why? There was no way, Tang Bai only tied the sword box with a rope and hung it on his back, looking extremely strange.

These days, the golden eagle is much more honest.

Habit is a terrible force, even if it is humiliation, once it becomes a habit, then acceptance becomes natural.

As soon as the four of them entered the store, they saw the woman in purple, Ji Xuefei, and the eldest brother of the golden eagle.

I don't know what these two people and one bird think, and they will not let go of them.

Tang Bai didn't care, but Xue'er scolded endlessly.

Tang Bai guessed the beginning and end of some things from Xue'er's mouth, the woman in purple was called Hua Manli, who had fought with White Lotus for men, lost her skills, and was finally sealed by White Lotus.

He really didn't expect that there would be such a bloody thing between these women.

As for the giant falcon, Hua Manli gave him a very unique name, called Stupid Bird, which means that Stupid Bird flies first.

Sure enough, it flew in front of them.

After not entering the WTO for a long time, looking at the furnishings in the small shop, Tang Bai felt cordial for no reason;

Although he was born as a cultivator, his heart has always been in the world.

The shopkeeper is an old man with gray hair, and the slightly hunched back proves that life is not easy, and there is surprise and horror in the eyes of the four people, Tang Bai seems to be able to capture the various thoughts of the old man in the shop.

The four of them found a place by the window and sat down, and outside the door came another diviner, about 50 years old, carrying a burden and holding a flagpole with a white cloth in his hand, on which were written the words "Know the Danger of Evil"; after entering the store, he sat down by the door without waiting for Liu Papi to greet him.

"It's a really lively day!"

It was a woman in a group of one-armed men who spoke, she glanced at the people in the shop, her eyes fell on the diviner, and said, "This mystery, is this divination dangerous?"

The diviner glanced at her and said with a slight smile: "The rivers and lakes are begging for food, trying to have food and clothing, and it can't be true." ”

The woman smiled: "You diviner, others are desperately boasting about their own skills, but you say that you can't be true, are you telling the truth or a lie?"

The soothsayer smiled and did not reply.

The woman said: "Recently, there has been a mysterious diviner on the rivers and lakes, I heard that the spirit should be abnormal, such as the reincarnation of the gods, and the martial arts are extraordinary, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him Li Shenxian, I don't know the surname of Mr."

The diviner still smiled and said, "I am Immortal Li." ”

As soon as his words fell, the one-armed man stood up and said, "You are Li Shenxian, Li Shenxian who killed the forty-eight members of the Chen family in Qili." ”

The soothsayer nodded.

The air was suddenly quiet, and there was a murderous aura hidden in the quiet air that could not be spoken of and could not be avoided.

Liu Papi is not from the rivers and lakes, but he knows that this small shop that he sticks to is about to face a storm that he can't bear.

He grabbed the rag on his shoulder in his hand, walked over tremblingly, and said, "Guest officer, if you have something to say." ”

"Get out, everyone, get out of here. ”

The one-armed man drew a large knife from his back, and a strong murderous aura emanated from his body.

He had killed people, and he had killed a lot, he shook the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Hand over the Chen family's Seven Immortal Jade." ”

The soothsayer shook his head.

The one-armed man sneered: "Then Lao Tzu wants your life." ”

After speaking, a knife slashed towards the diviner.

This knife is majestic and extremely fast, and the sound of 'clanging' on the back of the knife is accompanied by the light of the knife, which has a wonderful beauty, which is fascinating, and makes people feel that it is not a deadly knife, but a light with musical notes.

This is pure martial arts, according to the speed, momentum and artistic conception of this knife has reached the realm of 'grandmaster', and there is a one-armed man's thinking and will on martial arts in the moves, and he is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes.

Tang Bai shook his head helplessly, although this one-armed man's martial arts skills are good, but the diviner is even more extraordinary, judging from the aura fluctuations on his body, the diviner is a monk.

Martial arts are different from magic, martial arts are only a combination of limbs and weapons, whether it is speed, strength, or skill, they are all limited by the body.

The magic is different, the magic pays attention to the unity of heaven, earth and man, the heart of heaven and the heart, and the power of heaven and earth is used by people.

In the face of the lightning-fast knife light, the diviner did not have the slightest intention of dodging, stretched out his two fingers, clamped the big knife, and the blazing heat between the two fingers emitted a blazing high temperature, instantly burning the big knife red, and a burst of black smoke rose from the gauntlet of the blade, turning into ashes.

The one-armed man screamed, let go of the broadsword, took five steps back, and looked at the diviner in disbelief.

His big knife, which had turned into molten iron, dripped onto the floor, and there was a 'zi' sound, accompanied by puffs of black smoke, and the smell was unpleasant.
