Chapter 8 The traces of the demon gate in Taiping Town, the origin of evil things are all retribution
The world of Zhuxian is empty and wide.
It is normal for more than ten miles to be uninhabited, and there are demons in this world, so people are gathered to live, although this Taiping Town is a town, but in this radius of dozens of miles is the most lively place, Lin Dong walked in with a bamboo cane, but saw that the town is still lit with candles, and lanterns are hanging on the street.
Even at night, there is a scene of its own.
In ancient times, most places did not have city lighting at night, and the poor families did not have lights and candles, usually at night, they all went to bed early, and there were really some night entertainment programs, and they were all rich, and those who had no money had fun with their daughters-in-law, and no matter how poor their daughters-in-law were, they did not.
Lin Dong held a bamboo cane in his hand and walked along the road into the town, until he reached the other side of the town, and then stopped at a place called "Drunken Moon Tower".
"Guest Officer ......"
The shopkeeper ran out, looking at Lin Dong's outfit, he was not a monk or a monk, but his hair was very short [compared to the ancients], looking at the clothes and fabrics, he thought that he should be a nobleman, but he didn't see the servant beside him, holding a black bamboo cane in his hand, and he wasn't sure if this person had money for a while.
"Tip or stay?"
Although I thought in my heart, the shopkeeper still asked.
Sharpening is to pass the tip of the tongue and sit down for a meal, not to mention staying in the hotel.
"Stay in the hotel and eat."
Lin Dong stepped forward and walked into the Drunken Moon Tower.
The shopkeeper followed Lin Dong, and the people who lived in the hotel were all in the backyard, with a place to eat in front of it, and there were special rooms in the backyard to provide accommodation.
"Guest officer, our store is a century-old store, for accommodation, we have four standard rooms of A, B, C, and D, and if you eat, we also have the most famous drunken duck ...... here."
Lin Dong stood in this backyard and looked around.
The backyard of this drunken moon building, the east, west, north and south are closed four buildings, in the middle there is a vacant land with a length and width of ten zhang, one east and one west are planted with two peach trees, in addition to the lawn, bouquets, paths.
"Room A."
Lin Dong said to Xiao Er.
A, B, C, D, are the four standards of accommodation.
As soon as he talked about room A, the second child of this shop immediately had a difficult face.
"Guest officer, why don't you go to room B, this room A is full today."
The shopkeeper said: "This room B is not much worse than room A......
There are a total of six rooms in the first room of this drunken moon building, but just today, a group of guests came, who seemed to be all Jianghu guests, and they asked for this first room as soon as they came, and six people happened to be in six rooms.
"You don't know anything!"
Lin Dong saw that the shopkeeper's face immediately changed, and he said coldly: "I am a guest who gave you money and silver, and they are guests who want your life, I can't tell you which is more important, let me tell you, I will live in this room today!" ”
Room A, Party A, Room B, Party B.
When signing the contract, Party B has always been a party without human rights, just like Lin Dong's system, which belongs to the contract of room A, and Party B [Lin Dong] fulfills its responsibilities, just like the reincarnation space, Lin Dong is Party A, and the reincarnation is Party B. This room B is taboo when it sounds, and Lin Dong is unwilling to live in room B even if he lives in a firewood room.
"Guest Officer ......"
The shopkeeper looked at Lin Dong and said, "This accommodation, there is always a first-come-first-served arrival, you can't be so domineering." ”
"It's not a question of domineering, it's a matter of principle."
Lin Dong threw out a piece of silver from his sleeve and said, "Go, take this money and make room for me!" ”
After speaking, Lin Dong turned his head and walked to the front hall first.
Holding the silver in his hand, the little two in this shop really wanted to cry without tears.
This is really troublesome, if I knew it, I wouldn't say A, B, C, D, and arrange a room and it will be over.
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper asked the shopkeeper, and after getting the shopkeeper's approval, the shopkeeper took people and walked to room A.
Knocking on the door one by one, and finally knocking on the door in one place, the guests in this room are inside.
The first guest was tall and thin, eagle hook and small eyes, a pair of eyes couldn't stop flashing fierce light, when the shopkeeper saw him, he couldn't help but shrink back, this guest officer, is the head of the guests in this room, is called the old man.
"What's the matter?"
The old man's tone was not good.
"Guest...... Officer"
After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper said: "Yes, we have a guest here, and we asked for a room by name, so we specially sent money, hoping that you can give up one." ”
The little two said, taking out the silver given by Lin Dong.
"Smack!"
Before the money was revealed, it was waved away by a person.
The man who made the money had an even more strange appearance, with his ears and nose turned out, his tongue long, and his eyes were tucked, and he looked like a dog.
"Take such a small amount of money, are you a light-sighted dog Daoye?"
The wild dog stared at the shopkeeper and said unkindly: "Or do you want to die?" ”
As he spoke, he leaned closer and rubbed his hands, this wild dog is now ready to give this shop a little bit of color.
"Wild dogs!"
The old man behind him immediately stopped.
"A house, we let it out."
The old man took the wild dog and said, "Let the wild dog's house go out, and let the person who stays there sleep peacefully!" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he dared to say more, so he immediately turned around and left, and ordered the people around him to vacate the wild dog's room and re-lay the bedding, and then the shopkeeper invited Lin Dong.
"Wild dogs! You know you almost got into trouble! ”
The old man pushed the wild dog, his tone was not good, and said: "It's not yet the dead of night, the slightest movement, the officers and soldiers will arrive immediately, my plan will be broken, when the sword fairy comes again, you and I will be chased again like a lost dog, now the plan has not been completed, you give me a little more honesty, but it is a momentary anger, at most two hours will be returned......
When the wild dog heard this, Nono said yes.
The guests in this room are people with a lot of backgrounds, all of whom originated from the Blood Refining Hall of the black-hearted old man eight hundred years ago, and these people came to this Taiping Town today, which is really a secret plan.
Back then, the black-hearted old man was defeated by the withered master, and soon after the blood-devouring beads disappeared, the black-hearted old man didn't know where he died, and the Nuoda Blood Refining Hall fell and scattered overnight, and there was a force of the Blood Refining Hall that survived, and has been searching for the secret treasure of the Blood Refining Hall, and the whereabouts.
Lin Dong followed the shopkeeper to room A.
"Guest, you're really going to make trouble."
The shopkeeper stood in the room, put the food he brought over on the table, and said to Lin Dong: "The guests in that room are all fierce and vicious, you live in this store, don't go out again at night, in the past year, Taiping Town and the surrounding area are not peaceful." ”
This is a kind admonition.
"What's not going to be peaceful?"
Lin Dong was quite interested, and leaned the bamboo cane in his hand against the side of the bed.
"It is said that this year ago, there were blood-sucking bats in our Taiping Town, and they sucked blood everywhere every night, originally around Taiping Town, but later they committed crimes in Taiping Town, and the government and yamen had no choice, so they could only make this Taiping Town brightly lit, so as to reduce the sacrifice of personnel."
The shopkeeper said: "Pity us here, there is no sword immortal to pity, otherwise how can you sit back and watch the monster harm." ”
In this world, as long as there is a monster appearing, the news will spread soon, and then the sword fairy will soon come to eliminate the harm for the people, but this Taiping Town has been making trouble for a year, and there is no sword fairy here, but it is rare.
"If the sword immortal doesn't come, retribution will definitely come."
Lin Dong's face was as usual, and then he took out a piece of wood from his body, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said: "This should be used as your reward for running errands, and it depends on you whether the old wine and drunken duck in this drunken moon building can be passed on in the future." ”
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper was stunned.
"The guest officer is really joking, can this drunken duck be inherited, the shopkeeper is there, the eldest lady is there, I am a little second, where do I dare to think so much."
The shopkeeper accepted the wood chips handed over by Lin Dong, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: Other people's tips are copper coins and silver ingots, and it is unprecedented for a person to give a wood chip as a tip.
pinching the wood chips and going out, the little two changed hands and were ready to throw them away.
He has been poor since he was a child, and he came to this drunken moon building since he was a child, fortunately, the boss is a good person, and the eldest lady of this store is also cute and cute, and he does not shy away from reading and writing.
It's a pity that on these two, he feels that he can't write, and he can't do martial arts, and he has been operating up and down in this drunken moon building for many years, but he is the head of doing business and cooking these things, and sometimes the back kitchen is busy, and this little two can also go to the back kitchen to help.
"Little shop!"
A female voice shouted from downstairs.
The shopkeeper immediately ran downstairs, calling the eldest lady in his mouth, and the wood chips that he was about to throw in his hands were also stuffed into his waist at this time.
"What's going on?"
In the backyard downstairs, a young woman in a red shirt pointed to the peach tree in the backyard and asked the shopkeeper, "Why is my peach tree missing?" ”
When the shopkeeper looked at it, the peach tree that had grown well in the east was gone.
"This ...... I remember this branch growing, huh? ”
The shopkeeper looked at the peach tree, and his thoughts were confused for a while.
Wrong? Impossible. He remembered that when he took Lin Dong upstairs, he deliberately tilted his body, but when he went upstairs for a while, the branch disappeared.
"It's just that you didn't look at your home!"
The eldest lady pinched her waist with one hand, pointed to the nose of the shopkeeper with the other, and said, "If you can lose this peach branch today, you will be able to lose this peach tree tomorrow!" When I was born, my father's daughter Hong buried for me was also here, and you lost it to me, what should I marry? ”
"Miss."
The shopkeeper scratched his nose below and said, "Didn't you just lose a peach branch?" ”
"I don't care, I want you to pay for it!"
The eldest lady shouted below, "You will delay me by at least thirty years!" ”
"Haven't you delayed my construction for two hundred years?"
The wail of the shopkeeper sounded below.
Lin Dong smiled slightly upstairs, and there was a peach tree branch in his hand that should have been downstairs, and he didn't use a knife, just like peeling corn, he easily peeled off the skin of the peach wood, three times and two times, this peach wood branch was like mud, and it became a peach wood sword in Lin Dong's hands......
