Chapter 9: The Demon Inn
Yun Yu and Tao Yao were very confused, looking at Zhuo Qijun very puzzled.
I saw him turn around stiffly, his face was bloodless, and he emphasized once: "There is really no inn here!" ”
Seeing Zhuo Qijun's frightened look, Yun Yu looked at the inn suspiciously, this is obviously no problem! But Zhuo Qijun was scared like this, and it didn't look like he was lying, could there really be something wrong with this inn?
"I see that you were frightened today, and you hallucinated, what else do you say? The inn is right in front of you, and you're still talking nonsense, so I'll take you in and see what else you can say! ”
Tao Yao thought that he was like this because he was timid, so he stepped forward and took his hand and walked straight to the inn.
Behind the stout old willow tree is the inn. Like yesterday, the Yuelai Inn looked a little dilapidated from the outside, and even the light from the inn was faint, except for the red lanterns on both sides of the door, it was inconspicuous.
In Zhuo Qijun's eyes, there was only a dead tree, and behind the dead tree was a half-human-tall barren grass. He was being dragged by Tao Yao towards the barren grass.
Soon after entering the inn, the female shopkeeper came out from behind. Dressed in purple, he walked towards them enchantingly.
"There's a new guest today!"
"He's with us, in an extra room!" Tao Yao threw her a bead and said skillfully.
The female shopkeeper took the beads and said enthusiastically, "Gotcha! ”
Then she walked up to Zhuo Qijun with a smile, and gently brushed it over his face with a handkerchief.
Zhuo Qijun looked at the desolate surroundings, and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing in front of him. After rubbing his eyes, he realized that he was actually in the inn.
He froze in place, watching it all in horror.
What is the situation!
Yun Yu and Bai Yi walked a long way in front, Tao Yao looked back, Zhuo Qijun was still stunned, she turned back, ran to him, pushed him and said, "What are you doing standing here?" Why don't you go in yet! ”
Zhuo Qijun came back to his senses and looked at Tao Yao blankly.
Is all this true?
It's also so weird!
At the urging of Tao Yao, he stepped stiffly, and with this movement, he stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Tao Yao supported him in time, and he slowly stood firm.
"What's the matter with you? You can fall even while standing! ”
Tao Yao helped him and walked towards the courtyard where they lived. Zhuo Qijun looked at the magical changes all the way, unusually quiet, and his eyes were a little dull.
"You say, is he really okay like that?" Yun Xuan looked back uneasily.
Bai Yi: "It's good to get used to it." ”
"But this is not a mortal inn after all!"
"He had to follow, and it had nothing to do with us!" Bai Yi said coldly.
Hearing Bai Yi say this, Yun Yu looked at Zhuo Qijun, who had been frightened into the six gods, and sent him a sympathetic look.
She also just found out why Zhuo Qijun couldn't see this inn. This is actually a demon inn, so mortals can't see it at all.
Listening to what Bai Yi said, this demon inn was originally a normal inn. After it was deserted, it was used by the demon, so it looked dilapidated from the outside.
The demons who live in the house do not dare to approach, so they will choose this kind of deserted, because people have lived here, the demon is conducive to cultivation here, and it is also easy to hide. It's just that the demon has been staying for a long time, and this place has become a place of evil, and the house has become a ghost house in people's mouths.
There are very few such things that exist in the form of an inn, and Bai Yi said that behind this inn, there must be a demon with extremely high mana.
"Did you already know that this was the Demon Inn? Then why are you saying it now! Yun Xuan stopped and asked Bai Yi, a little angry.
"It's all little demons, and I saw that you were all so happy yesterday, so I didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, today's murder is related to demons! Bai Yi said calmly.
Yun Yu thought of today's events, and then said, "That demon, will it be hidden in this inn!" ”
After a while, Bai Yi shook his head and said, "Not sure!" ”
"Since this is the Demon Inn, it will definitely be a clue to the demon, so it will also help us catch the demon!" Yun Yu suddenly became excited.
Seeing that Yun Yu suddenly became happy, the corners of Bai Yi's mouth couldn't help but smile. Since she arrived in the west of the city, she has not relaxed, her expression has been very solemn, and at this moment, she is finally relaxed.
If I knew she was so happy so easily, I should have told her these clues earlier.
After Yun Yu arrived at the residence, she waited for a while, Tao Yao had not yet appeared, and she was a little anxious. Isn't it just a little faster than them, why is the time so bad, and still coming back.
Yun Yu kept wandering in the courtyard, and Bai Yi looked at Yun Yu and felt his eyes dizzy.
couldn't help but remind: "If you don't sit down first, don't go!" ”
"At this distance, these two people won't get lost! But why hasn't Tao Yao come back now! ”
"She also has some cultivation, although there are demons here, she is by no means her opponent, you don't have to worry." Bai Yi comforted.
Yun Xuan: "I know, but it's ......."
Yun Yu stopped walking back and forth in the courtyard, sat on the stone bench opposite Bai Yi, and sighed.
"You're worried about her!" When Bai Yi saw Yun Yu like this, he was a little distressed and a little jealous.
"Of course I'm worried!" Yun Cheng Road. She lay on the table, her head tilted to one side, thinking of when she was on Yaotai Immortal Mountain, she said slowly: "Tao Yao and I are the youngest immortals on Yaotai Immortal Mountain, and we get along with Tao Yao the most, although she will always get into trouble, but it is the best for me!" Remember ......"
Bai Yi listened quietly, it was the first time she had talked about so many things about her past, although it sounded a little childish, but it was quite interesting.
In the years of her rebirth, she has lived a very happy and happy life, and she has many friends and relatives around her.
It feels easier and happier than when she was Lingyuan.
Without the constraints of responsibility and rules, perhaps, she is the purest her!
Saying this, Yun Yu slowly fell asleep, and Bai Yi couldn't bear to disturb her, so he conjured a cloak and draped it on her.
The peach blossom trees in the courtyard are blowing in the breeze, and the peach blossoms are falling. The petals are like rain, falling around, and the picture is quiet and beautiful.
Suddenly, Tao Yao appeared in a hurry, breaking the quiet moment and waking Yun Yu up.
Bai Yi stared at Tao Yao with a dark face.
"I've found the demon, I've found the demon who kills!" Tao Yao said in a panic.
"Really! Where is it? After Yun Yu was awakened by her, he heard this, and immediately walked to her side, grabbed her arm and said excitedly.
After Tao Yao stood still, he took a breath, and then said, "I saw that demon and put human skin on himself!" ”
Yun Xuan: "Are you sure! Immediately after, before Tao Yao finished speaking, Yun Yu said, "Do you see what kind of demon it is?" ”
"The demon's room is a little far away, I don't know what kind of monster it is, but it must be the demon who kills people! Otherwise, how can you change the skin! Tao Yao confirmed very firmly.
Yun Yu couldn't suppress her excitement, and pulled Tao Yao to go in the direction she came from.
I found the demon who killed people so quickly, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, it seems that it is not difficult to catch demons at all. This is about to complete the agreement with her aunt, Yun Yu thought happily in her heart.
"Let's go, grab it, and we'll complete the agreement with my aunt!"
Tao Yao suddenly let go of Yun Xuan's tightly held hand and hesitated at her; "The demon I saw...... It seems to be ...... It seems to be the shopkeeper of the inn! ”
"She!" Yun Yu was a little shocked.
The female shopkeeper is the demon, the person in the west of the city she killed?
However, the shopkeeper looked soft and weak, and although she was a little greedy for money, she didn't look like she would harm people!
Could it really be her!
"Whether it was her or not, let's just take a look!" Bai Yi said.
Yun Xuan: "Yes, I'll test her and you'll know." ”
Seeing that Tao Yao suddenly felt that something was missing, and after calming down for a while, he suddenly found that there was no one missing, Yun Yu asked, "Why don't you see Zhuo Qijun?" ”
The two of them are walking behind, why is it that only Tao Yao appears now, and Zhuo Qijun is not seen for a long time, during the day, Zhuo Qijun can stick to Tao Yao inseparable, although I don't know why.
But now it's strange that there's suddenly one person missing.
"This ...... It's a long story! Tao Yao paused, and said with some embarrassment: "He, fainted!" ”
Yun Yu listened, a little surprised, but not surprised.
Since Zhuo Qijun arrived at this inn, his face has been pale and he has become sluggish. When I didn't know the reason for this inn before, I thought he was very strange, but after learning about the inn, I realized that he was scared.
It's not surprising that he fainted because he was so timid!
followed Tao Yao to the courtyard where the female shopkeeper lived, this courtyard was different from theirs, and the landscape here was actually summer, which shocked Yun Yao.
It is better to say that it is a courtyard than a lake, and the lake is full of lotus flowers, and the flowers are connected and endless.
A corridor along the lake leads to the center of the lake. Tao Yao said that the room where the female shopkeeper lived was there, and she saw her changing the skin there.
After deciding on the place, the three of them walked quickly towards the center of the lake.
After arriving at the center of the lake, Bai Yi stepped forward and shook the door of her room open. When several people entered the room, they saw the female shopkeeper lying on the bed, with a lot of scattered skin around her.
Yun Yu looked at these skins a little disgusted, but she didn't expect it to be her!
This female shopkeeper turned out to be a murderer!
She killed the woman in the west of the city, and then disguised herself with her skin.
found the murderer at this time, it stands to reason that Yun Yu should be happy at this time. She could finally fulfill her promise to her aunt, but she was not at all happy when she looked at the skin all over the ground.
She walked towards the female shopkeeper on the bed, and a sharp sword was condensed in her hand, facing her.
Hearing something break into her room, the shopkeeper slowly woke up, looked at them weakly, and said:
"Why are you here?"
