Chapter 6: First Encounter (3)
The two of them ran for a while, and it was already dawn.
"Sister! It's dawn, are you okay? ”
"Jing Gong, I think we are leaving like this, what about the people in the inn?"
"What? What does my sister mean by that? The people in that inn are dead?! ”
"I mean, let's go, it's going to be a sensation for people to see the mass of dead bodies in the inn today! But the government will soon find out that only the two of us are alive, and when the time comes, it will arouse some unwarranted suspicions, but it will cause us trouble. ”
"So my sister wants to report to the official in person?"
"Hmm. Now that it's dawn, those things won't come out, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”
“…… Good! ”
The two returned to the inn the same way they came. It was dawn, and the streets were already sparsely populated. The two of them came to the door of the inn, which was closed, as if it had not yet opened.
"Sister? This door was open when we came out, right? ”
“…… Oh, yes! ”
"Someone closed the door? Wouldn't that see the dead body inside?! ”
"But there's no trace of the government? It seems to be normal! ”
Mu Jinggong gently pushed the door, but the door did not open.
"Locked?"
Mu Zhixi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and there was a sound of snorting from inside the door.
"Hah~~ Who? Got guests so early? With that, the door was opened. Mu Zhixi and Mu Jinggong were stunned! It's the inn guy.
"Two girls? We didn't ...... Aha~ It's not open yet! You're early. ”
Mu Jinggong stammered: "Shop...... Store! You see we're all here, it's so cold outside, let's go in and have a while! Mu Zhixi glanced at Mu Jinggong and whispered to her, "Aren't you killing yourself?"
The guy looked at them and said, "Okay! Come in! ”
Mu Zhixi and Mu Jinggong walked in slowly.
"What do you want to eat? I went to the back hall to greet me. ”
"Let's have something to do first! It's a little cold outside, warm and warm. ”
"Hmm...... All right. ”
With that, the shopkeeper retreated to the back hall. Although it was already bright, it was still a little dark in the inn. Mu Zhixi looked around to see if there was anything unusual. Suddenly, there was a noise from upstairs.
"Hah~ man! Is it open? ”
Then a man came down, and it was the man who had the audacity to turn over the corpse of the shopkeeper in the early hours of the morning! The one who came down and saw the Mu sisters muttered to himself, "Yo! Coming to the guests? It seems to be open. The man then shouted to Mu Zhixi and the others, "Girl! What about dude? ”
Mu Zhixi replied, "I'm going to the back hall."
"Oh! The back hall! Then I'll come down later. ”
"Hey! Please wait! Mu Jinggong suddenly stopped the man, "What are you doing?" ”
The man was amused, "What am I doing?" Staying at the hotel! What can you do if you don't stay here to eat? You're too funny, aren't you? ”
Mu Jinggong was silent. Mu Zhixi smiled and said, "Ah! This is my sister, and her brain is a little bad, don't be surprised! ”
The man smiled and went back to his room. All was quiet again. Mu Jinggong took a closer look around, the decoration of this inn was very ordinary. A few tables, a few chairs, and a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. There is a table for wine, and there is a cabinet in front of the table, which should be where the guy usually sits. On the wall there are a few pieces of paper with the word "wine" written on them, and a few very ordinary paintings.
"There's nothing unusual around here, it's the same as a normal inn."
"It's nothing special......"
Suddenly, Mu Zhixi's gaze stopped on Mu Jinggong.
"Jing Gong? Are your clothes dirty? ”
"Huh?" Mu Jinggong looked at his clothes. There is noticeable dust at the cuffs. Mu Jinggong wiped it on the table with her hand, and a thick layer of ash stained her white hand.
Mu Zhixi looked at her hand and said, "How long has this table not been wiped?!"
"But if it's normal every day, the table can't be so dirty. Unless, there is no one left. ”
Before the words fell, the door of the guest house rang, and it was a rhythmic knocking sound. The two stopped talking for a while, the inn was silent, the knock on the door was still ringing, the guy who went to the back hall did not respond for a long time, and the guest who returned to the second floor did not come out again. Now, it seems that only Mu Zhixi and Mu Jinggong are alive.
Mu Jinggong stood up and said, "I'll open the door."
She walked towards the door, opened it softly, and asked, "Is it a guest?" Mu Zhixi kept looking at her, for fear that something would happen to her sister. Mu Jinggong opened the door, and there was no one outside.
"Sister! No one! With that, she turned to look at Mu Zhixi, the inn was empty, and Mu Zhixi was missing......
Mu Jinggong stood at the door, she walked into the guest house, looking for Mu Zhixi.
"Sister! Sister! ......" as he spoke, the door closed automatically, and everything fell into darkness again.
"Sister...... Sister! Mu Jinggong was in a hurry, and he couldn't find any trace of her after looking around. At this moment, the inn lit up. Mu Jinggong saw the surrounding furnishings clearly, and there was a row of people sitting in front of her. Mu Jinggong really wanted to stop breathing, but it didn't make sense, he just felt that no one would find out about her existence in this way. But after observing them for a long time, she found that the men were motionless. She stepped forward with courage, and only then did she realize that these were actually paper people. She breathed a sigh of relief, but then wondered why there was something in this inn for the dead? Just as he was puzzled, the door behind him opened again, and a person stood in the doorway. This person is wearing a blue wide shirt with big sleeves, a praising shirt and a belt, a hakama on the bottom, a small crown of black lacquered muslin on his head, a cage scarf on it, more than seven feet of repair, a beautiful appearance, a beautiful man with a logo, and the school of Yushu Linfeng. Mu Jinggong was about to say something, when suddenly the man rushed in, went straight to Mu Jinggong, and pulled her behind him. Subsequently, Mu Jinggong saw that those paper people moved like living people, and there was a "hehehe" laugh from his mouth. The paper figure danced his arms and charged at them, and the man drew a sword from behind him and slashed straight at the rushing paper figure. A sword slash only broke a paper man's arm
arm, the paper man seemed to be a little angry, and staggered and ran towards them. The man slashed a few more times, delaying their rush to the ground. As soon as the man turned around and pulled Mu Jinggong out of the inn, after coming to the street, the people on the street stopped to look at them, but in the next second, all the people let out a "hehehe" laugh, and their eyes began to expand infinitely towards them. The man stretched out his sword and flew into the air with Mu Jinggong stepping on the sword......
When Mu Jinggong woke up, he was in a forest, and everything in front of him was still very blurry. She rubbed her eyes with her hands, and when she opened them again, Mu Zhixi stood in front of her.
"Sister?!"
"Jing Gong!" Mu Zhixi hugged Mu Jinggong. Mu Jinggong accepted this sudden hug in a daze.
"Jing Gong! It's my sister who is not good, and she shouldn't let you open the door alone. ”
"Sister...... I...... I thought you were captured by those! Sister, how did you get out? ”
"You went to open the door, and I sat there by myself, just looking at you and not looking around. Out of nowhere, a person covered my mouth and knocked on the table, and there was a hole in the place where I was sitting! I fell and woke up to find myself in the woods. It seems that I saw someone here, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you! Jing Gong? How did you get out? ”
"When I found out that my sister was missing, the inn suddenly lit up! There was a row of paper figures sitting in front of me, and just as the paper figures were about to attack me, a man from outside the door rescued me. When I woke up, I saw my sister. ”
While the two were talking, a man came from a distance.
"You're all awake!" The man was smiling, handsome, and just the right size, feeling like a rich kid.
"Who are you?"
"Someone who saved you."
"Thank you so much!"
"Hey! No thanks, no thanks! I'm a man who likes to do what is right! ”
"Dare to ask how Childe rescued us? Seeing that Gongzi doesn't look like an immortal cultivator, how can he be so familiar with that place? ”
"Hahaha~ The girl has good eyesight, I am indeed not a cultivator, but I was naughty when I was a child, and I accidentally entered that kind of place. Fortunately, with the help of immortal cultivators, he picked up this life. ”
"I see. I don't know what Childe is called? ”
"Oh! In the lower Xuan Zhuyi. ”
"Xuan Zhuyi? Good name. ”
"I don't know what the two girls call them?"
"Mu Zhixi."
"Mu Jinggong."
"It's a sister! It's nice to have company on the road! ”
"Where are you going?"
"Me! I'm going to Lingsenkaku! ”
"Lingsenkaku?! We are also about to go, I wonder if Childe is willing to go with him? ”
"Ahh That's good, of course! Thanks to the two girls for not disliking. ”
"Where? But you saved us. ”
The three of them laughed and went on the road. On the way, Mu Jinggong and Mu Zhixi asked about the inn and Lingxian Pavilion.
"Master Xuan? Do you know what's going on at that inn? Is there really a ghost? ”
"Oh! Have a smattering of. Indeed, there was a ghost in the inn. ”
"There are ghosts in the inn, why doesn't the government ban it? In such a dangerous place, people on the street don't seem to think so! ”
"They! Definitely disagreeable! That whole street is full of ghosts! ”
“!!! What the?! Both? Isn't that just the two of us alive?! ”
"Well~ almost! There may be a few living people, but now they are probably one of them. In fact, most of the people who pass by usually know that place, as long as you don't talk to them, don't eat or stay in the store, it's fine, but as long as you talk to any of them, eat or stay in the store, you can't walk out of that street. ”
"So even if we don't go back, we won't be able to get out?"
"That's right! That town is called Guigu Town, and that city is a ring city. ”
"Ring the city?"
"The ring of the city means that the overall structure of the city is a ring. No matter how you go, you will return to the original place. ”
"That'...... Where did we come from? ”
"There is no road before and after, that is, the road of heaven and the road of the earth."
"You mean there are two roads in heaven and earth?"
"That's right! Miss Zhixi came out of the earth, and you came out of the way of heaven. ”
"Oh! So that's it! You're the one who knocked on the door? ”
"Hey, hey! It's me. If you rescue the two of you together, it will attract their attention, so you can only go one by one. ”
"And how did you get to the inn?"
"Alas~ this! I've always been there, I'm probably in Guigu Town, where I entered with you. As for the knock, my sword is still quite spiritual, and I let it go out and knock on the door. ”
"Oh! Thank you so much! ”
"It's okay, it's okay! How did you come up with the idea of going to Lingsenkaku? ”
"We ...... I heard that Lingxian Pavilion only recruits apprentices once in decades, so ...... We want to try it. ”
"Decades? Who do you listen to? ”
"The people of Guigu Town!"
"Ghost Valley Town...... You said it was a ghost, how can you believe their words? ”
“…… Also. ”
"Lingxian Pavilion has indeed recruited apprentices for a longer period of time, but it is not more than a few decades, and Lingxian Pavilion is selected every five years."
"Five years...... Oh, that's it! The ghosts of Guigu Town say that Lingxian Pavilion is a great sect of cultivating immortals, is this true? ”
"Hmm...... That's true. ”
"Then what do you know about Lingxian Pavilion, can you tell us about it?"
"Good! But only a little bit of it. There are three statues in Lingxian Pavilion, Jinzun Yuli, who is good at swordsmanship, and I heard that he is still a handsome guy; Lingzun Gu Yanfeng, with extraordinary light skills, ordinary appearance but very resourceful; Yun Zun Liang Yihua, the skill of instrumental music is unmatched, and he is a very beautiful Venerable! With these three in the town, Lingxian Pavilion is also infinitely beautiful! Therefore, Lingxian Pavilion used to be called Jin Lingyun. But I don't know why it changed its name later. ”
"That is, the three disciples of the three statues?"
"Yes!"
"That'...... Lingzun's light work? ”
"Oh! What I've just said is just their most outstanding cultivation. Lingxian Pavilion also practices swordsmanship like other immortal cultivation sects, but it is worshiped in different doors, and the practice is also different. ”
"Is that Jinzun just swordsmanship?"
"That's right! But the first place to worship under the Jinzun Sect is the senior brother of the Lingxian Pavilion in that session, and he is also a candidate for the heir of the Lingxian Pavilion in the future. ”
"That's ...... so"
The three of them stopped talking and began to concentrate on hurrying, thinking that they could reach Lingxian Pavilion as soon as possible......
