Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Bizarre Town

I walked for another day and night, and arrived in Yanqing early on the morning of the third day. Along the way, they did not see any pedestrians on the road or the people of the city, which made them feel very strange.

When they entered the city gate of Yanqing and walked onto the street, the pedestrians on the road ran away one after another, panicking one by one, as if they had seen a monster, and avoided them.

The vendors who set up stalls on the street disappeared without a trace before they even had time to collect their stalls.

Soon, there was nothing left on the street except a messy pile of stalls.

"What's the situation? Are we youkai? ”

Bai Ling looked at those who ran away and said in surprise.

"Yes!"

Everyone answered her in unison.

Yes, she's the only demon here.

Bai Ling smiled stupidly.

"This town is very strange, why do the people run away when they see the living?"

Yun Shaoqing looked suspicious.

"There won't be youkai here, will you?"

Bai was uncomfortable.

"Who else is a youkai besides you?"

Chu Fei'er deliberately teased.

"This town is definitely not peaceful!"

Su Yingxue concluded that she had an inexplicable feeling.

"Senior brother, we haven't seen the people all the way, don't you think it's suspicious?"

Wen Jingxuan also noticed.

"Let's take a look at the nearby inn!"

After Yun Shaoqing decided, he continued to move forward.

They followed Yun Shaoqing and saw an inn that was not closed, strangely, all the people's houses and small shops were closed, and only this one opened to welcome guests.

If the people of this town are afraid of the living, then what is the business of this inn?

All kinds of questions, let them go in.

In the inn, it was empty, there was not a single guest to eat and stay, and there were no buddies and shopkeepers.

Only at the counter, a middle-aged man wearing a linen cloth and a hat on his head stood while making a plate and keeping accounts.

Strange, there is not a single guest, what is he keeping?

"Yun Shaoqing, a disciple of the Lower Heavenly Spirit Mountain, passed by here and stayed for a few days, these are all friends of the lower heavens. Are there any rooms available? ”

Yun Shaoqing walked to the counter very politely and asked the man.

I saw that the man didn't smile or speak, he was still busy with his own business, and he didn't pay any attention to Yun Shaoqing, as if he didn't see them.

He was holding his hat, his head down, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"Excuse me, are you the shopkeeper here?"

Su Yingxue stepped forward to ask.

The man remained silent.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the black veil on the hat in front of the man was slightly blown by the wind, and hidden under the hat was a hideous and ugly face full of scar toxins, which was simply miserable.

"Ahh

When Chu Fei'er saw this scene, she couldn't help but scream in fright.

"It's just that it's ugly and shameless, so I wear a hat, I don't want to scare the girl, I'm really sorry!"

At this time, the man spoke, in a hoarse voice, which was terrifying to hear.

He stopped what he was doing and looked up at them, "Young Master Yun, the guest room is on the second floor, please take care of yourself!" ”

"Thank you!"

Yun Shaoqing was about to go upstairs after thanking him, but Su Yingxue stayed downstairs and said to the man: "The beauty and ugliness of a person lies in the heart, not in the appearance. Only people with good hearts are the most beautiful people. My friend was rude just now, and I apologize to you for her! ”

After Su Yingxue finished speaking, she smiled at him.

The man was still silent, but Su Yingxue saw a light smile on the corner of his mouth through the black veil on his face.

Standing on the side, Wen Jingxuan also raised the corners of his mouth slightly, silently admiring Su Yingxue's kindness.

Afterwards, Su Yingxue went up to the second floor with them, rested for a while, and then made plans.

"This place is so boring, there are no people!"

Chu Fei'er still refused to stop for a moment.

"Shaoqing, what should we do now?"

Su Yingxue asked Yun Shaoqing what his opinion was, after all, he was a senior brother, and everyone in this group had to obey his arrangement.

Yun Shaoqing sat at the table, holding the hot tea on the table in his hand, his face expressionless, as if he was contemplating.

Su Yingxue's words suddenly broke his contemplation.

When he came back to his senses, a trace of sadness appeared on his face that he had never felt before: "This town seems to be quiet, and there must be a bizarre story behind it." Those people were afraid of the living, and there must have been people who brought disaster upon them. The top priority now is to find someone to find out what happened here, and only by getting to the bottom of those cases can we hope to get the pieces. ”

"But we can't find out!"

Bai Ling felt that there was still difficulty.

"Those people are hiding when they see us, how can we ask clearly?"

Wen Jingxuan also felt that this case was not easy to handle.

"It's so hard! It's only the second fragment, and it's already hard to reach the sky, and do we still have hope to get the later fragments? ”

Chu Fei'er lay on the table, looking distressed, as if she had lost confidence.

"Are you losing faith? Can you cheer up? ”

Su Yingxue couldn't stand it anymore, she couldn't help but touch Chu Fei'er's lowered head, messing up her complicated bun, "Believe Shaoqing, we are not afraid of any difficulties!" ”

When Chu Fei'er heard Shaoqing, she got up from the table again, full of confidence again, with a funny expression: "Yes!" I'm a chivalrous woman! After many years of wandering the rivers and lakes, when have you ever been afraid of difficulties? I'm sure I'll be able to collect all the pieces! ”

"What is the use of faith alone? And it can't solve the current difficulties! ”

Bai Ling thought about it more practically, "We don't know anyone here, how can we investigate the local situation?" ”

Yun Shaoqing expressed his opinion again and solved all their troubles: "Isn't the shopkeeper downstairs a local?" Is it better to ask him than to disturb the local people? What's more, only he is not afraid of the living, there must be a reason for this! ”

"That makes sense, let Sakura go and call him up!"

Chu Fei'er built yì road.

"Why did you let me go?"

Su Yingxue pointed at herself and looked at Chu Fei'er strangely and said.

"Because only you are not afraid of him, because only you don't think he is ugly, because he has a good impression of you, because it is more suitable for you to go, because you have the ability and others trust you、、、"

Before Chu Fei'er finished speaking, she was interrupted.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, I'll go, I'll go!"

Chu Fei'er's mouth was so powerful, Su Yingxue had no choice but to surrender.

"Sister Yingxue is the best, Bai Ling likes Sister Yingxue the most!"

Bai Ling trusted her the most.

"Bai Ling is also very approve, okay, Sakura, you go quickly!"

Chu Fei'er smiled proudly.

"Alright! I'll go now! ”

Su Yingxue stood up and walked to the door, glanced back at them, looked at Chu Fei'er with disdain, and then went out.
