The old man looked around, smiling, and his voice flowed out like a clear spring, "Friends, below is the shopkeeper of this deserted village inn, some of you are here for the first time, and some are already old faces. When he said this, the old man paused, looked up slightly at the second floor, bowed his hand, and continued, "Everyone gathered together today, presumably for what they thought in their hearts, and the old man did not delay everyone's time, please write down what you think in your heart on the paper, and the old man will solve his doubts one by one later." As he spoke, the old man waved his hand, and he didn't know that countless pieces of paper suddenly appeared from there, spun in the air for a while, and then scattered in all directions, and in a short time, there was an extra piece of paper and a pen in front of each person.

"Boss, what should we do?" Zhao Sanyuan looked at the pieces of paper and pen in front of him and asked Luo Tian. And Luo Tian was puzzled at this time, the shopkeeper's speech was only half of what he said, and many things were not explained clearly, and he rashly wrote something on it, Luo Tian felt that he had no bottom in his heart. While he was hesitating, someone had already spoken first, only to hear a sharp and cold laughter, and then he saw a young man in a white suit walk out, the face was soft, his eyes were narrow, his waist shook gently as he walked, and there was a faint flash of phosphorescent light under his neck. Walked to the old man and stood not far away, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed down, and said loudly: "The shopkeeper is polite, it is as white as snow in the fall, it is the first time to come to this deserted village inn, I have some questions, I don't know if the shopkeeper can solve the doubts?" ”

The old man saw that Bai Ruxue was very polite, and he also returned the salute with a smile, and replied: "The person who came is a guest, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Bai Ruxue's face was settled, and she asked respectfully: "Do you dare to ask the shopkeeper if you want us to write the wrongs in our hearts on a piece of paper to get what we want?" Is it okay to be wronged? And at what cost? These three questions are also what ordinary people want to ask, and even Luo Tian pricked up his ears to hear how this old man answered. In addition, Luo Tian noticed that the second floor, which was full of people just now, actually disappeared at this time, as if they didn't care about these things, Luo Tian secretly thought, maybe this is the difference between old customers and new customers, old customers already know what to do, only new customers will be so worried, no wonder they want to separate the people who came here for the first time and the old customers, just to deal with the current situation.

"Brother Bai asked well." The old man cleared his throat and said loudly: "Presumably everyone is here for the first time, and they still don't know much about the rules of the deserted village inn. ”

"This deserted village inn is the intersection of the two worlds of yin and yang, not under the control of the yang realm, and there is no need to abide by the rules of the yin realm, the deserted village inn since its appearance, it has become a whole, there are many evil ghosts and spirits here, they live here, and they also practice here, but they are also trapped here, however, God has the virtue of a good life, as long as you practice here, whether it is a human being, an evil ghost, or a spirit, as long as you can accumulate merit, you can get rid of it and become a great road. Those who can come here are the people who have been selected by the deserted village inn, and they can enter the deserted village inn with the key, and say what they think in their hearts, and they have the power to practice here for their realization, and you have to pay a certain price for it, and the price is not certain, maybe it is some wealth, or maybe some karma, or maybe some mana, in short, there is no free lunch in this world, if you want to get it, you must pay first, as for whether it is cost-effective, it is up to you to decide. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of discussion around them.

The old man raised his hands weakly, signaling everyone to be quiet, waiting for everyone to be quiet, and the old man continued: "As for how big the price is, it is naturally related to what you think in your hearts, if you think it is not cost-effective, you can naturally leave directly, the deserted village inn will definitely not interfere arbitrarily, in short, here, the deserted village inn is a place of trading, buying and selling freely, each with its own autonomy, as for whether you can complete what you think in your heart, it is not something that we can worry about, we have those powers to worry about." Then, the old man looked around again and said, "As for those great powers, they are all in retreat and cultivation in secret places, so everyone didn't see them, otherwise wouldn't there be a group of demons dancing here, hehehe." But remember, there can only be one wish. ”

"I wonder if Brother Bai still has any questions?"

Facing the old man's inquiry, Bai Ruxue couldn't help but ask: "I want to turn into a dragon, I don't know if it's possible?" But seeing Bai Ruxue's nervous expression and expectant eyes, the old man smiled slightly, and said in response to the question: "When Brother Bai writes what he thinks in his heart, as long as there is great power to help you, everything will come to a conclusion." After speaking, he pointed to the white piece of paper, Bai Ruxue did not hesitate, gritted his teeth, and wrote a few big words on it with a brush, and then the white paper disappeared with a "whew". Bai Ruxue was still stunned, but the old man had already laughed and said, "Brother Bai, don't panic, wait a moment." After a while, Bai Ruxue seemed to have made some important decision, bowed to the old man, and when he looked up again, he said to the old man: "Turning into a dragon is Bai's lifelong wish, and I hope that the shopkeeper will be fulfilled." After speaking, he walked to the front of the shopkeeper, bit his index finger, and at this time, the thick book in the hands of the shopkeeper suddenly opened, and he turned over for a while, and finally stopped, the white snow looked at it, and he hesitated, but immediately condensed, and drew a few times on it with blood, and then the book was closed, and the white snow seemed to be relaxed, and then a white light flashed, and the white snow disappeared, replaced by a snow-white dragon, and then the dragon let out a dragon groan, the white light roared, and became white as snow, At this time, Bai Ruxue's face was full of surprise, her eyebrows were full of pride, she couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "I've turned into a dragon, I've finally turned into a dragon, hahahaha." Then the originally closed wooden door suddenly opened, Bai Ruxue saluted the shopkeeper, and then turned around and left, without saying a word. This scene fell in everyone's eyes, and they were very surprised, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Everyone, don't be impatient." The old man smiled and signaled everyone not to be nervous, and then explained: "That white brother just now has reached an agreement with the power of the Deserted Village Inn, and after paying the price, he has already got what he wants, so he has already left the Deserted Village Inn. Seeing that it was so simple, everyone put down their worries, wrote what they thought in their hearts, and then the pieces of paper disappeared one by one, and then everyone was trembling, but their expressions were different, all of them were full of horror, and with some hesitation, but after a while, they came to the front of the shopkeeper and left their names in blood on the thick book. Seeing the people around him gradually leaving, Zhao Sanyuan picked up the pen and was about to write, but was blocked by a hand. Zhao Sanyuan raised his eyes and saw that it was Luo Tian who was blocking him, and he felt strange in his heart, and asked, "Boss, who are you?" ”

Luo Tian took the pen from Zhao Sanyuan's hand, then shook his head and said, "Don't move, wait and see." ”

Still waiting to see what happens? It's already like this, so I almost wrote it down, why do you have to wait and see what happens, Zhao Sanyuan said he didn't understand, but Luo Tian didn't let him move, he naturally wouldn't move, so he had no choice but to endure the itching and sit there, looking at the people around him as if they were empowered by fairy energy, and then swaggered away with a proud face, Zhao Sanyuan saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but Luo Tian next to him didn't move at all, it didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, seeing that the people around him were decreasing one by one, Zhao Sanyuan was even more anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Luo Tian, I was afraid that Zhao Sanyuan would want to rob it. Seeing that Zhao Sanyuan's heart was itchy and unbearable, Luo Tian suddenly smiled and asked, "Third child, are you in a hurry?" ”

"Can you not be in a hurry?"

"Hehe, what do you want?"

Zhao Sanyuan said without thinking about it: "I want to be rich in Jiangcheng, so that I can be poor and luxurious, hahaha." This idea echoed Zhao Sanyuan's character, Luo Tian just smiled, but didn't say anything, and then returned the pen to Zhao Sanyuan and said, "Then you write, I won't stop you." "Zhao Sanyuan's character is like this, he was very anxious when Luo Tian didn't let him at first, and now Luo Tian asked him to write, he felt weird, although his heart was itchy and unbearable, but Zhao Sanyuan still held back, he would compare to the side, and then looked at Luo Tian without saying a word. The meaning is very simple, boss, you don't write it yourself, I definitely won't write it, now think about it, Luo Tian was originally looking for this deserted village inn, and now he has come in, the boss is a person who can't afford to be unprofitable and can't afford to be early, Zhao Sanyuan feels that the boss must have something in mind, otherwise his character of not suffering losses will definitely not let go of good things and not fight.

At first, Luo Tian didn't have any other thoughts, he thought about removing the retribution of his cultivation, so as not to suffer retribution in the future, but just now looking at Bai Ruxue's expression, Luo Tian felt that he was afraid that the price was not small, and Luo Tian thought about it carefully, to put it bluntly, they were all trading with evil ghosts and spirits, and it was better to be careful when dealing with these existences. The most important thing is that those people on the second floor don't seem to be moving, Luo Tian thinks it's better to wait and see, anyway, he is not in a hurry, after making up his mind, Luo Tian simply sat there and didn't move, but wanted to see what else would happen in a while. And Luo Tian's actions naturally fell in the eyes of the shopkeeper, but the latter only glanced at it lightly, and continued to look at the others with a smile, and soon, only Luo Tian and Zhao Sanyuan were left on the first floor. When everyone left, the old man walked up to Luo Tian and asked, "Two, I don't know if the old man can sit here?" He gestured to the seat beside Luo Tian.

"I'm sorry, there's someone here." Luo Tian smiled slightly, he was very polite, but what he said was not polite at all, even the old man was stunned, he just meant, who knew that Luo Tian was so faceless, is there anyone here? How could someone he not see. The old man laughed dryly twice and said, "Little brother is really interesting, it's the first time you come to the deserted village inn, right?" ”

"Yes, it's the first time."

The shopkeeper was about to say something, suddenly the little second brother trotted all the way over, whispered in the shopkeeper's ear, the shopkeeper was stunned at first, then glanced at the second floor, and then a smile gradually appeared on his face, and said to Luo Tian: "Your name is Luo Tian?" ”

Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Zhao Sanyuan and said, "His name is Luo Tian, I am not." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Brother Luo is really interesting, there is an acquaintance waiting for you upstairs on the second floor, please come with me." ”

Luo Tian and Zhao Sanyuan glanced at each other, feeling a little strange, how could there be someone who knew him here, and was in doubt, the shopkeeper had already taken a false lead, Luo Tian thought about it, and then accepted it gladly, and said, "Okay, lead the way." Following the shopkeeper, Luo Tian and Zhao Sanyuan went up to the second floor, Luo Tian noticed that there seemed to be no one on the second floor at this time, and the entire second floor was divided into small compartments by wooden doors, and there seemed to be only two compartments with human figures. The shopkeeper led Luo Tian to one of them and said, "This is it." ”

"Chen Hao?"

As soon as Luo Tian entered, he saw Chen Hao sitting there, and Luo Tian was about to do it at that time, but suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears.

"Luo Tian, don't get excited."

Looking at the inquiry, Chen Hao was actually sitting next to the Ninth Master, and the Ninth Master was looking at him with a smile at this time.

"Ninth Master, why are you here?"

Jiu Ye smiled slightly, motioned for Luo Tian to sit down, and then said: "Not only am I here, but an old friend is also here, when do you have to wait, people, aren't they all here?" As soon as the words fell, another familiar figure appeared at the door, it was actually Li Min'er. Seeing Li Min'er appear, Luo Tian was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't know what was going on for a while, how could he meet so many acquaintances in this deserted village inn. Just when Luo Tian was puzzled, the shopkeeper suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, good, this time the three most valuable customers of the Deserted Village Inn are here, and the old man is really happy, hahahaha, you are Luo Tian, and you are Li Min'er, not bad, Luo Xiao and Li Duobao have also taken great pains for you, speaking of which, you have already been the patrons of my Deserted Village Inn for a long time." As soon as these words came out, Luo Tian was even more shocked, how could he involve his grandfather, and when did he get involved with the deserted village inn?

Seeing that Luo Tian was puzzled, and Li Min'er only frowned slightly, the ninth master looked calm, as if he knew everything. Seeing Luo Tian like this, the shopkeeper said with a smile: "It seems that you all have some doubts, so it's better to let me come one by one." ”

"About twenty years ago, the deserted village inn ushered in three special guests, they actually relied on their own Taoism, without the case of entering the deserted village inn, what is even more surprising is that they actually want to bulldoze all the evil ghosts and spirits in the deserted village inn, hehe, at that time I seemed to see a big joke, but I have to say that the three of them are really amazing, a Taoist is unfathomable, but it's a pity, it's a pity, they are still too weak, they are not the opponent of the deserted village inn at all, So they were easily defeated, originally the strength of the three people, the deserted village inn is not an evil place, and they don't want to embarrass these three people, and these three people don't trade with the deserted village inn, so they can leave if they want to, but, hehe. ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the ninth master, saw that the latter was expressionless, and continued: "People, they all have some selfish intentions, and the three of them will not trade with the deserted village inn on the surface, but in private, they have made transactions with the deserted village inn one by one, haha, you say, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

"The first person to speak, his request is very powerful, he wants to be an earth immortal, the deserted village inn helped him fulfill this wish, but as a price he must serve the deserted village inn, collect a large number of yin qi and yin things for the deserted village inn, so all kinds of yin things have been sent by him over the years, what is the destruction of the soul, what the three generations of resentful babies, and red sha, in short, everything, hehe, it is really difficult for him to say; The second one to speak was not so selfish, he asked his granddaughter to become a powerful Taoist priest, so soon his granddaughter became a disciple of the horse, and her strength was good. ”

"As for the third person, he adopted a child at that time, that child was born with a thin life, it was a premature death, he hoped that the child could live longer, so he paid half of his life, and the second half of the child's life must therefore serve the deserted village inn, and today is the time for that child to fulfill his promise." The old man's words made Luo Tian's heart tremble, he had already thought that the three people that the old man said should be the ninth master, Li Duobao and his grandfather Luo Xiao, no wonder he was looking for a deserted village inn, it turned out that there was a reason.

"Li Min'er, I know what you're thinking, you're trying to ask why I killed your grandfather, right?" Just when Luo Tian was thinking about this, the words of the Ninth Master made Luo Tian shocked, Li Duobao died? And it was killed by the Ninth Master? Why? Looking at Li Min'er's expression again, it was really as cold as iron, and she looked like she was going to cut the ninth master with a thousand knives. The Ninth Master said to himself: "In the final analysis, it is actually Li Duobao who is bent on death, he has shown me too many things, and he actually wants to deal with me, so I have to kill the killer, you have to avenge him, I will accompany him at any time, but here, none of us can do it." ”

"Ninth Master, are you enchanted?"

The Ninth Master smiled, "Twenty years ago, I was already enchanted, why do you want to kill me?" I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

"Shopkeeper, I came to the deserted village inn again, this time my wish is to get rid of your entanglement, I don't know if it's okay?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "No problem, the transaction of the deserted village inn has always been undeceiving, and it will not be forced to buy and sell, and you will no longer be an earth immortal when you come out of this door, and you don't have to do anything for the deserted village inn anymore." ”

"My wish is that I want to kill him."

The ninth master left quickly, and after Li Min'er finished speaking, he also left the room quickly, leaving Luo Tian, Zhao Sanyuan and the three of the shopkeeper.

"I know what you're thinking, I can tell you in advance, if you choose to leave the Deserted Village Inn, then everything you got before will come to naught, it's not just your Taoism, but also your life, don't forget, your life was given by the Deserted Village Inn."

"And what about my grandfather's life?"

"Your grandfather's life has allowed you to live for so many more years, even if you die, your grandfather won't survive, you'd better think clearly, in fact, you can be the same as the ninth master, a local immortal, just help the deserted village inn collect yin qi and yin things, it's actually very simple."

Luo Tian smiled coldly and asked rhetorically: "If it's that simple, why didn't the Ninth Master do it, and why did the Ninth Master kill Li Duobao?" Isn't there a reason for the deserted village inn? ”

"Smart, Li Duobao is also a person from the Deserted Village Inn, he wants to betray the Deserted Village Inn, so he must die." The old man waved his hand, and a picture suddenly appeared in front of Luo Tian's eyes, in the picture, it was Jiu Ye and Li Min'er.

"Even if I'm not an earth immortal, but a spell is not comparable to you, just rely on you, I want to take revenge?" The Ninth Master glanced at Chen Hao and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to do much. Chen Hao glanced at Li Min'er, then at Jiu Ye, and slowly pushed it away. Li Min'er had a look of death on her face, smiled miserably, and said, "Today, either you die or I die." ”

"Hahahaha, uh, what's going on?" Jiu Ye laughed for a while, and was just about to say something, when his face suddenly changed, and he saw that Jiu Ye's whole body began to convuls, and then his body began to melt from the bottom up, and Chen Hao on the side was also startled, and Li Min'er didn't know why. And the Ninth Master seemed to think of something, staring at the night sky with a hideous face, and shouted: "Deserted Village Inn, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he completely melted into a puddle of black water.

Seeing this scene, Luo Tian was dumbfounded, the old man waved his hand, the picture disappeared, and he smiled slowly: "If it weren't for the Deserted Village Inn, he wouldn't be an Earth Immortal, if it wasn't for the Earth Immortal, his mana would not have reached this level at all, and he was seriously injured back then, and he relied on the Deserted Village Inn to survive, and now he doesn't want the position of the Earth Immortal, then his natural life will not be long, hehe, then next, Luo Tian, what are you going to do?" ”

Luo Tian was silent, constantly recalling the picture of the Ninth Master turning into black water just now, and then thinking of Bai Yueqing's gentle smile, after a while, looking up at the old man, and meeting his confident smile, Luo Tian said slowly: "You old man is really a bastard." Saying that, the old man stretched out his hand, and the old man smiled slightly, obviously satisfied with Luo Tian's actions, and also stretched out his hand and shook it with Luo Tian.
