Chen Fusheng, who was sitting in the sedan chair, slowly rolled up the sedan curtain at some point, removed the hat, and stretched out his head to look at the sunset behind him. Aunt Han followed the sedan chair and followed Chen Fusheng's gaze. The barren grass in the distance was stained with rouge tears from the sunset, a little less colorful, and a little more lonely.

The sound of jackdaws in the distance came from the open space, and Aunt Han said indifferently: "Master of the house, but you are homesick?" ”

Chen Fusheng was silent, nodded slightly, gently rested his chin on his arms, and sighed faintly, "I remember that many years ago, and it was also this season, the scenery on the sunset peak was always a little more pleasing to the eye than in this world." Have you ever remembered, 'Falling trees Xiao Xiao, lonely moon hanging', people are so nostalgic. ”

"The past has passed, and now the head of the family still needs to take care of his body, which is the most important thing at the moment. Sunset Peak is still there, and no one can snatch it away. Although she said this, Aunt Han's eyes were somewhat sad, as if at the end of the sunset, she could see the lonely peak of the sunset in the distance.

Chen Fusheng smiled faintly when he heard this, "Why bother talking about these sad things, why don't you talk about the inn?" I remember that Aunt Han once mentioned that she had a lot to do with the owner of the inn. ”

Yi Nanxing whipped heavily at this time, looked up at the two of them, and there was clearly a little more anxiety in his eyes. Chen Fusheng saw Yi Nanxing's gaze, and sighed lightly, "Hey, Uncle Yi will be nervous, it seems that this matter is not simple." ”

"The head of the family, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I ......" Aunt Han's eyes flickered, as if she was struggling to think about it.

"It's okay, if Aunt Han has something unspeakable, don't say it. It's just that when you get to the inn, if you have anything to pay attention to, you have to let me know in advance. As far as I know, the innkeeper is not easy to mess with. Chen Fusheng's tone was calm, and he gave a step that was neither high nor low, waiting for Aunt Han's next step.

The sunset in the distance finally failed to refuse the pursuit of the night, and slowly fell into its embrace. Chen Fusheng raised his hand and lowered the sedan curtain and was silent. Aunt Han finally paid attention, and said softly in a word that only the two of them could understand: "The inn's name is 'Taiping', but it's actually a black shop. ”

"Oh? Black shop, kind of interesting. Is it the kind of black shop that kills people and sells goods and makes human meat buns? Chen Fusheng asked, and the worry in his words was a little less. As long as you know the inside story, you can have a way to deal with it.

At this time, in the carriage, it happened to be said here. Wei Wuji paved the way for a long time about the rumors of the merchants, and then he cut to the chase and said: "You don't know, the inn is called 'Taiping', but in fact it has never been peaceful, almost every once in a while, it will be renovated and decorated, it is said that there are 'evil ghosts' here, specifically attacking people who come and go to the merchants. ”

"Then why do people still want to stay at the hotel?" Gu Xing was a little puzzled.

Wei Wuji smiled helplessly, "There is such an inn within a radius of thirty miles, and there are many mountain bandits and green forest robbers here, and they don't dare to spend the night in the wilderness. Go to the inn for a night, if it is not too bad luck, there will be nothing wrong, after all, this inn is also safe on weekdays, only at a certain time will something strange happen. ”

At this time, outside the carriage, the key point was also mentioned, and they were getting closer and closer to the "Taiping Inn......

"Master Mingjian, the black store I am talking about is not a black store in the traditional sense, if it is just so ordinary, there is no need to worry so much." Outside the carriage, Chen Fusheng heard the words and began to cough violently again. In the past two days, the cold poison has been suppressed, and the backlash at this time has become more and more violent.

Aunt Han hurriedly took out a bag of things from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Fusheng. Chen Fusheng took it and took it, picked up the water bladder in the sedan chair and drank a few sips, and then smoothed his throat, "Do you want to eat this?" It seems that time is running out. Chen Fusheng laughed to himself, and handed the bag back to Aunt Han. Aunt Han took it and put it back in her sleeve, carefully put it away, and the worry between her eyebrows became even worse.

"Why don't we pass by here and go around here?" Aunt Han asked tentatively, her hands clasped unconsciously. You must know that according to her temperament, how can she be so cautious in ordinary situations, and it is not a soldier who will block the water and cover the earth. It's just that this time it's an extraordinary situation, and it is natural to use extraordinary methods to deal with it.

"A detour? Why bother. might as well take a look, if that person can sell Aunt Han a face, won't they be safe? Chen Fusheng snorted and said casually.

"If that's the case, that's good. The innkeeper has a grudge against me, and has not interacted with her for many years, and at this time he rashly passed by her chassis, I am afraid that it will ......" Aunt Han's eyes suddenly flashed cold, and a few more silver needles in her hand shot towards the wild grass on both sides.

I only heard a few muffled snorts, followed by a few muffled sounds, and then I returned to calm.

Chen Fusheng smiled dumbly, "Aunt Han, what kind of grudge do you have with the owner of this inn?" Aunt Han was speechless, and only after a while did she say to herself in a thin tone;" The revenge of killing a husband and a son. ”

There was an exclamation from inside the carriage at this time, and Gu Xing couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that this is the specific time?" ”

Wei Wuji nodded helplessly, "Every eighth day of the seventh month, this Taiping Inn will open its doors to welcome guests, whether you are a bull, a ghost, a snake god, a dignitary, or a leader in the rivers and lakes, or a person who is indiscriminate and unscrupulous, you can come here to participate in the grand event." It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that 'until the eighth day of the seventh month, when the flowers fall, I will kill all the flowers.' That's what we're talking about. It's just that those who come to the inn must participate in the competition to recruit relatives, otherwise they have to come in vertically and lie down and go out. ”

"If you don't participate, you'll have to be carried and thrown out?" The old yellow man asked with a grin.

Wei Wuji shook his head, he was slaughtered by the people in the inn and then thrown out to feed the wild dogs. Therefore, when we set foot in this realm, it is normal to hear a few wild dogs barking from time to time.

"What kind of world is this?" Gu Xing raised his hand and pressed it on the short blade on his waist, and his dark face looked extremely solemn.

The old yellow head patted his chest, "I'm very good at recruiting relatives in martial arts." When the time comes, you will all watch, and the old man alone will be enough. After the old yellow head finished speaking, he looked at the three of them as if they were wrapped around him. But Gu Xing and the second girl clearly showed a look of disbelief, and the old yellow head could only look at Wei Wuji, hoping that this kid could give some support.

Wei Wuji sighed lightly, "Senior, this innkeeper still has an unwritten rule. That is, only young people are allowed to participate, and if the elderly want to intervene, they will be cut off on the spot, and there will be no mercy. ”

The old yellow head's smile gradually became solemn, and he shouted: "Who are you listening to?" How can there be such a strange rule? ”

Wei Wuji smiled miserably, "The elders in the east of the village also went there many years ago, and they were lucky to save their lives, but they also lost half of their lives, and I just listened to him." ”

Gu Xing heard that the coffin was closed, "Then among the few people I and the others, one person must come to participate in this martial arts competition." When Gu Xing finished saying this, Wei Wuji, the old yellow head and the second girl looked at Gu Xing in unison, as if they saw hope in him.

Gu Xing's scalp was numb when he was seen by the three of them, and he hurriedly defended: "Then, why don't you take a detour?" ”

This time, it was not the three people in the carriage who answered, but Yi Nanxing, who was driving. "It's too late, sit down, everyone." The carriage began to shake violently after the sound, and the ground gradually became less flat, and it took about half a burnt of incense before it slowly stopped.

Gu Xing lifted the curtain and looked up, and saw that there were dotted lights not far away, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

The old yellow head was naturally anxious, and rushed out of the carriage with a brisk step, ran to Chen Fusheng's sedan chair, scratched his ears and cheeks and asked, "What's going on, what's going on?" ”

Chen Fusheng's cough sounded again, and then he said, "Get off the sedan chair." When he walked out of the sedan chair and put on the black veil of the hat, he said with a smile: "It's nothing special, it's just that I met the robbers and the servants who greeted him." ”

Gu Xing also got out of the carriage at this time, and instructed the second girl to take care of Wei Wuji, and walked quickly to the two of them, "Is this a wave of people, or are they two different things?" ”

Chen Fusheng immediately laughed loudly: "Two groups of people, two different things. ”

"Where's the bandit?" The old yellow head looked strange and wanted to explore the truth again.

Chen Fusheng raised his hand and pointed at it, and a group of people appeared behind the carriage, and Aunt Han followed them, and each of them carried a bloody human head in their hands. The leader came to a few people, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Let the distinguished guest be frightened, please come with me." ”

Gu Xing subconsciously stepped back, pinched his nose and pointed at the man's head, as if he was a little disgusted. The man laughed heartily, and then threw the human head into the wild grass on one side, and suddenly several pairs of eyes like hell fire in the wild grass suddenly lit up, and rushed towards the human head with a roar, and began to bite heavily.

The group behind the carriage also threw their heads into the weeds, as if discarding a dispensable thing. Chen Fusheng was silent, "It's okay, please lead the way." ”

The man made a gesture of please and strode forward. Xu Shi thought of something again, turned around and clasped his fists and said again: "Please also leave the carriage and sedan chair here, and my entourage will be properly arranged." Come with me, so as not to make the master anxious. ”

Aunt Han walked quickly to Chen Fusheng's side and glanced at him, Chen Fusheng nodded with a deep groan. And he followed.

The second girl helped Wei Wuji to get out of the carriage, and Gu Xing hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Only then did I notice that there were already uneven stone slabs under my feet, but they were laid with ingenuity, which complemented the wild grass. After walking only a few dozen steps, a street lamp appeared, supported by iron pillars as thick as an arm, and they matched each other from afar.

Xu is saw Gu Xing's doubts, and an accompanying voice came from behind him, "Your Excellency doesn't know, this lamp is called 'Soul Attracting Lamp', and stepping here is tantamount to stepping on the Yellow Springs land, and life and death are involuntary." ”

Gu Xing suddenly understood, nodded lightly, and looked forward, and saw a row of entourages with white paper lanterns appearing beside Chen Fusheng and the person who led him. It's just that the clothes they are wearing are pitch black, which forms a strong contrast with the lanterns.

The stone pavement began to gradually become smoother, less bumpy than before. And when Gu woke up to the entourage holding the lantern, the "Soul Attracting Lamp" disappeared without a trace.

When Gu Xing was surprised, the old yellow head suddenly leaned into Gu Xing's ear and whispered: "The Five Elements are lost, don't make a fuss." ”

At this time, Chen Fusheng was already standing outside the door of the inn, looking up at the hanging plaque, which was embellished with four big characters "Taiping Inn" with red strokes. What is strange is that the word "Taiping" is written in cursive, while the word "inn" is written in line, which is extremely unlined.

The leader saw the eyes of several people, and then said with a smile: "The master is still waiting for the distinguished guests, if there is anything you want to ask, when you see the master, I will inform you one by one." With that, he pushed open the door of the inn and walked in......
