Volume 2 The Evil Emperor's Tomb Chapter 0186 The Inn Turmoil
In the city, there are flowers. Approaching the immortal killing exam, the city's well-received inns are full. Everyone drove a carriage and walked on the street, and saw an inn with special decoration and clean environment, but the door was deserted. Feng Aohan got out of the car at Guo Lin and prepared to try his luck.
Before he reached the door, Feng Aohan was dragged by a snow-haired old man.
Feng Aohan: "Old man, what are you pulling me for?"
Feng Aohan thought in his heart, "It can't be that I am dressed decently and want to extort money, right?"
Feng Aohan: "Old man, we are poor. Don't touch the porcelain, I can't afford it!"
The old man coughed twice: "Child, you misunderstood, I want to tell you that this building is not liveable!"
Feng Aohan: "Why can't you live?"
The old man looked around and said, "Child, this building is haunted and haunted, and I can't live there!"
Feng Aohan slowly let go of the old man's hand, and Feng Aohan smiled and walked back to the carriage. The old man was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Feng Aohan and others waited, smiling and carrying his luggage and getting out of the carriage, with a posture of checking in with his bags.
Old man: "Why didn't you kid listen to the advice? I thought you were gone, why did you just carry the things down?"
Demon Protector: "Don't be afraid, uncle, you said this place is haunted! Then let me tell you, he is the one who catches ghosts!"
Guo Lin: "Cure the evil demons!"
The old man said disdainfully, "Look at how young you are talking big. Those high-ranking monks and Taoist priests of Shushan have all been taken away by this strange thing, what are you guys!"
The old man flicked his sleeves, and his back blended into the crowd.
Feng Aohan had a rusty bronze knife tied to his back that he had won at the Tucheng Inn, and a large burden in his hand, which contained Nuwa Stone and Dragon Emperor Egg, and he walked forward with light steps. The door to the inn was closed, and there was a smear of dust on it.
The entrance to this inn has two floors, and from the outside, it looks like an ordinary tavern. The gate is made of mahogany and green wood, and the wooden door has two tiger head knockers, and the knocker has a small window that is tightly closed and the other door is ajar.
Looking up, the inn plaque was removed, leaving only the wooden stake on which the plaque was listed. Two large red lanterns hang under the eaves.
Meng Yatou: "Hanhan, this inn has a good environment, and it is a downtown neighborhood, there is no reason to be so deserted!"
Feng Aohan: "It's really God's favor, such a good place, if it didn't scare away the disciples of Shushan and become a monk, how could it be left to us!"
Demon: "It's already dark, hurry up and stop, and then go find something to eat!"
Feng Aohan put something in the doorway, and he knocked on the knocker on the wooden door.
Feng Aohan: "Is the store there?"
Straw boat: "There are Morders in there?"
"Knock~Knock~Knock~"
The knocker hits the wooden door, and after a few moments, the small window on the wooden door slowly opens. A pair of eyes were revealed. Feng Aohan looked at the pair of eyes, the eyeballs were bloodshot, the eye sockets were full of wrinkles, and the eyes revealed a sense of tiredness, the owner of these eyes should be old.
Seeing these eyes, the thrush subconsciously took a half step back.
The old voice said, "Who are you?"
Feng Aohan: "We are all here to kill immortals in the competition, and all the inns are full, I don't know if your family has any leeway?"
The old man's voice said gloomily: "Yes, yes, yes, I just don't know if a few lives are hard!"
Straw boat: "Don't worry! Boss, several of us are made of stone, and our lives are hard and old!"
The small wooden window was closed, and then there was a chaotic noise in the room, the wooden door creaked open, and the smell of medicinal herbs came to the nose, and everyone coughed a few times. A plainly dressed hunchbacked old man stood in front of the door hunched over and on crutches.
"Old bamboo leaves, register and you can move in. Follow me. ”
The room was a little dim, and there were ten tables in the hall, with long benches with their legs facing the sky. The floor is very clean.
There was an oil lamp on the counter, and an old woman stood behind the counter. She was dressed in dark red coarse cloth, with a sandalwood hairpin in her gray bun and two fringed pearl rings hanging from her ears. His sideburns are white, but his lips are unusually rosy.
Zhu Yeqing: "She is my wife, Huaihua." Just call her Granny Hua!"
Huaihua: "Do you know that this place is evil?"
Feng Aohan: "I know!"
Huaihua: "How many days are you going to stay?"
Feng Aohan: "Live until the end of the Immortal Killing Selection!"
Huaihua: "Staying so long, then you have to give the house money first!"
Feng Aohan nodded.
Huaihua "checked out halfway, but we don't refund money." ”
Guo Lin: "Tell me how much?"
Zhu Yeqing: "One gold coin a day for one room for food and drink, five silver coins a day for not eating and drinking." ”
Demon: "We eat and drink on our own!"
Zhu Yeqing: "One room, five silver coins a day, sixteen days is 80 silver coins, that is, eight gold coins!"
Huaihua: "How many rooms do you want to open? single room, double room." ”
Demon Resist: "Little Daddy, we still live in Jinli, in case we pass the immortal killing exam, let's go out of Jinli City, leave Tangshan, there are many places to spend money, we can save some!"
Feng Aohan nodded.
Huaihua: "Yo, how can such a young child give birth to a doll?"
Demon Protector: "Recognize your father!"
Feng Aohan picked up the notebook and prepared to register: "Let's discuss it." ”
Meng Yatou: "I live in a double room with that female doll!"
Thrush: "I'm staying in a double room with the Devil!"
Straw boat: "Two of our brothers live in a double room. ”
Anna Keiko: "I live in a double room with Guo Lin. ”
Huaihua: "There is no double room, you two can live in a single room, the bed is big! ”
Anna Keiko nodded in agreement.
Feng Aohan: "Registered, count the money." ”
Zhu Yeqing: "400 silver coins!"
Feng Aohan: "Just give you 40 gold coins!"
The demon took out a money bag, which he placed on the counter.
Demon: "You order." ”
Huaihua: "Listening to the sound of money, it must be 40 pieces, don't order it." ”
The old man opened the money bag, looked at it, and then put it in his pocket.
Zhu Yeqing took out the key and distributed it to everyone.
Zhu Yeqing: "There are only two keys in a room, you have to take them, now follow me to find a room!"
Everyone carried their luggage and followed the old man out of the hall, and they came to an open-air courtyard, which was full of all kinds of chrysanthemums, because it was spring, the chrysanthemums did not bloom, and they were all green. In the open-air courtyard, colorful lanterns are hung, and these lanterns are all extinguished, and it looks a little deserted.
Zhu Yeqing: "We have been abandoned here for two months, in order to save fuel money, these lanterns have not been lit, you have moved in, and they will be lit in the future." ”
There are four wells in the courtyard, two of the four wells are covered, and only one of the wells has a wooden barrel next to it, which is still in normal use. Granny Sophora ran over with a lantern.
Huaihua panted: "Old man, I use the turtle shell to tell fortunes, it's a bad omen, a bad omen!"
The old woman's feet were windy, and she almost scared the thrush.
Zhu Yeqing: "Shut up, there are still guests here!"
Huaihua: "It's very evil here, wait for you to go out to eat something, you have to come back quickly, don't pass the hour, otherwise!"
Guo Lin interrupted Huaihua's words.
Meng girl: "Old woman, you don't know, my buddy is an expert in catching ghosts!"
Zhu Yeqing: "That's a good feeling! If you catch the ghost and resume my business, I have to thank you very much." ”
Walk out of the courtyard and enter a small courtyard where a large water tank filled with lotus leaves is placed, and a large banyan tree is planted around the courtyard gate. It looks very gloomy. Feng Aohan looked at the feng shui in the courtyard, and then shook his head.
Guo Lin: "From the street, I thought it was a tavern, but I didn't expect it to be so big!"
Thrush: "How many yards are there?"
Zhu Yeqing: "I used the ancestral house to transform it into an inn, so the furnishings are all home layouts." Take your pick. Only the house in the front yard can be used. Don't go to the courtyards behind the eight rooms. There are seals and moss, so it's hard to walk. ”
Feng Aohan nodded: "Hmm!"
Zhu Yeqing had a key disc hanging from his waist, and he opened the door of the room in turn from near to far. The house was uninhabited for a long time, and the cobwebs and dust were unscrupulous, and when the door was opened, there was a cough.
Feng Aohan: "Old man, the doors of those two rooms are very different from these in appearance!"
Zhu Yeqing: "Oh, there are a total of eight rooms in this front yard, five of which are where you live, that one is the kitchen, the one at the entrance of the middle courtyard is my room, and one is the utility room, which is mostly occupied by some chairs and benches. ”
Thrush: "And the kitchen!
Zhu Yeqing: "The kitchen, I lend it to you, but you have to buy the firewood yourself!"
Demon Resist: "These houses have to be cleaned by themselves before they can be moved in, the money you charge for the room is black money, and these firewood still need money?"
Zhu Yeqing: "These firewood are cut from my old bones, little by little, you young people, can't you give some travel expenses?"
Feng Aohan: "Otherwise, old man, we go up to the mountain every day to chop firewood, so that you two elders can also use it." We'll save some money. ”
Zhu Yeqing: "Okay, okay!"
Thrush: "Where's the broom, old man?"
Zhu Yeqing: "You just go out to eat and drink, and when you come back, this room will be cleaned! Cotton wool quilt covers, toiletries, will be delivered to the room later." ”
Demon Resistant: "Grandpa, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!"
Zhu Yeqing: "I know elves in Magic Street, and they are experts in cleaning. Just go!"
Feng Aohan: "Let's put things in place first, and then let's go out to eat!"
Everyone nodded, and then went back to their rooms.
Feng Aohan pushed the door in, the pear blossom wood round table was covered with dust, Feng Aohan picked up a towel and wiped the table, and then he put the rusty big knife on the table.
The mahogany square bed hung a pink curtain, and Feng Aohan put the Nuwa stone and the dragon emperor egg under the bed, and then he lifted the bed curtain and put his luggage on the bed board.
The house was very dirty, but the walls were very white, and when I looked around, I saw spiders and clouds on the beams of the house, and dust fluttering. After putting the things away, Feng Aohan pulled the Demon Book out of his diving bag, he picked up the book belt and quickly tied the Demon Book behind him.
The wind is gusting, the lotus leaves are partial, the banyan leaves are rattling, and the colorful lanterns are shaking like bells. Everything was ready, and Feng Aohan stepped out of the house. Feng Aohan moved too fast, so he was the first to reach the courtyard, he stood in the courtyard and waited, a gust of wind blew, and he made a pendulum.
Everyone gathered, gently closed the door, and then everyone talked and laughed, left the front yard, and walked towards the front pavilion. Feng Aohan was the last person to step out of the front yard, and when he left, there was another gust of wind behind him, and when he looked back, there was nothing behind him, and his eyes were staring straight at the courtyard door of the middle courtyard.
Next to the courtyard gate is the house of the old man Zhu Yeqing. Seeing that Feng Aohan hadn't caught up for a long time, the Demon turned around and walked back to the front yard.
Feng Aohan stood there in a daze, and the Imperial Demon slapped Feng Aohan's thigh.
Demon Resistant: "Dad, what's the problem, I'm going to eat, I'm starving!"
Feng Aohan: "I always feel this place!"
The Demon interrupted him.
Demon: "Didn't you say haunted? normal! normal!"
Feng Aohan: "Find something to eat!"
Sophora was holding a long ladder and was taking down the colorful lanterns one by one.
Thrush: "Grandma, what are you doing?"
Huaihua: "When you come back, there will be lights!"
The crowd left the front pavilion and came to the hall. The chair was upside down on the table, and there was another candlestick on the counter. Everyone pushed open the wooden door of the inn and stepped out of the threshold. The street sits on the edge of the city and is deserted at night.
The carriage drove towards the downtown area, and after a few moments, stopped in front of a bustling restaurant. The runner and the shopkeeper greeted him.
Shopkeeper: "How many?"
Feng Aohan: "Nine! plus one more position, ten." ”
The runner led Feng Aohan and others into the hotel. The two shopkeepers moved the carriage to the backyard stable. Entering the hotel, the hall is filled with the sound of drinking and moving chopsticks, pushing cups and changing lamps, and colliding with chopsticks. As far as the eye can see, twenty wooden tables in the hall are not enough to sit.
Running the hall: "There is no place in the hall, there is a guest officer who booked a private room on the second floor, you are really in a hurry, it just so happens that the master has something to do temporarily, and he can't come." The room has just been withdrawn, but you have earned it. ”
Climb the wooden staircase to the corridor on the second floor. The corridor on the second floor is a balustrade on the left and a room on the right.
The left beam is covered with purple glass bead curtains, and in front of the house on the right, a bowl of potted plants is placed in every other room. The runner brought Feng Aohan and the others to the end of the corridor. The hall is square in shape, and the hallway on the second floor is a capital L.
At the end, everyone lifted the curtain and entered the private room. Persian carpets, ornate vases, eight-treasure glass lamps. Mahogany round table, mahogany stool, mahogany window edge, mahogany door. A white tablecloth is laid on the tabletop.
Everyone took their seats.
The runner pulled out a roll from the vase on the side, and when the roll was spread out, it was a long menu. Run the menu on the table and spread it out.
Run: "You can tick whatever you want to eat, and I'll go and prepare tea for you first." I'll take the menu to the kitchen later. If there is nothing on this menu, you can also order it yourself, as long as it is an ingredient that can be seen every day, we can definitely fry it in Jade House. ”
Ran away from the hall.
Meng Yatou: "I'll call Zhang Tongming!"
Feng Aohan: "What do you want to eat, order!"
Guo Lin took the menu and ticked a few boxes, and the demon also ticked a few times. After everyone checked the boxes, the runner led a peach-faced maid into the room. The maid held the tea board in her hand.
She picked up the teapot, poured nine cups of tea, and brought it to everyone. The runner picked up the menu and looked at it, his face was shocked, and then he smiled slightly, he picked up the menu and put it away.
Ran Tang: "You drink tea first, and immediately order the kitchen to fry it for you." ”
Ran away from the hall.
Everyone said a few jokes and drank a few sips of tea, but at this time, someone in the corridor shouted.
"Lao Tzu has changed his mind again, why is there no room, didn't I book it?"
