Chapter 5: Entering the Ghost Inn
I poured a cup of tea, sat down and tasted it, and I just felt that the tea was ...... What kind of bullshit tea is this? It's clearly cold water that has just come up from the well! And when I looked at the food carefully, I felt that these foods, with a pungent rancid smell, frowned, I just wanted to open the eyes of heaven, but after thinking about it, I still gave up. The supernatural powers can not be revealed as much as possible, especially since this is just a small town, so there is no need to be so cautious at all!
Even though this is a black shop, it can't hurt me for half a point, and I don't bother to drink the tea, so I got up and sat down in front of the edge of the bed, and thought of the scene I saw before, what I saw behind the fat proprietress was very strange, because this fat proprietress didn't have three yang fires, and the yang fires on her head and shoulders were all extinguished. If it is an ordinary person, it is very abnormal, because if the three fires are extinguished, it must be a dead person.
But the fat proprietress was clearly standing in front of me, and I didn't notice the existence of any yin qi on her. Although I didn't open the eye of heaven and restrained my breath, this common sense thing still can't hide from me.
I'm a little confused about the situation now, which makes me a little embarrassed, because I've made some achievements in Dao cultivation, but in this ordinary town, I can't see anything. The three yang fires are extinguished, either dead people or ghosts...... But why doesn't she have any yin energy on her? And before coming to the town, I had already investigated, and there didn't seem to be any ghosts and demons in it, could it be that there was something wrong with my induction?
No, how is this possible? It's just some ordinary ghosts, and it's impossible to escape my perception ability, unless, unless there is some weird magic weapon or formation hidden here, which blocks my perception ability, I don't know!
With some unsolvable questions, I slowly sat cross-legged, pinched out the Tai Chi seal with both hands, and soon after, I entered the state of cultivation...... If there is really something weird here, maybe I don't wait for me to find trouble, there will be trouble coming to the door, I just need to wait quietly for the trouble to come.
"Woo...... Woohoo......"
"Squeak...... Syllable! ”
“…………”
In the second half of the night, about the beginning of the ugly hour, there was a sudden strong wind outside, the doors and windows were blown wide open and closed, from time to time, there was a trace of cold breath, wafting in from the cracks in the doors and windows, I slowly opened my eyes, faintly looked at the sky outside, at this time the oil lamp had long been extinguished, and outside taking advantage of the thin moonlight, you could see the treetops of a few loose trees, swinging violently in the wind. Suddenly, I saw a ghost figure outside the window, staggering past, and making a strange chirping sound.
I frowned, and then smiled, in this environment, if I had been cultivating at the beginning, I would have been scared half to death, but now it seems that it is a bit pediatric. I still haven't dissipated the breath in my body, little ghosts, as long as they don't come into the room to offend me, let them live. Besides, I have to travel tomorrow, so there's no need to delay here. Thinking of this, I closed my eyes again and quietly entered the cultivation state.
At three o'clock in the morning, the sky outside gradually brightened, and this is still the great northwest, perhaps there is a time difference with the Central Plains, and it may be half an hour late before it lights up. Letting go of the handprint, I got up and got out of bed to move my muscles and bones, after a night of repair, my body felt extraordinarily comfortable, but there was one thing that made me puzzled, and even felt very strange, that is, I was still short of a single percent of cultivation to recover to the peak state of its heyday, but this cultivation, why can't I recover a single inch now?
Could it be that if you leave the Tianshan Mountain Range, it will be difficult to reach the initial cultivation state? No, I was meditating and cultivating last night, and I obviously felt that everything was normal, and I also clearly felt that the cultivation in my body was recovering greatly, but ...... But the moment I let go of my handprint, I inexplicably found that my cultivation was still in the state when I left the Tianshan Mountains. It's weird......
However, although there is still a delay in the recovery of that Yicheng cultivation, it will not affect my mood, in short, that Yicheng cultivation, I will find a way to recover as soon as possible on the way, and I will also find other caves and blessed lands to help me break through the seventh layer of the Mixed Yuan Gong as soon as possible. Thinking of this, I immediately prepared to open the door, but at this moment, I was surprised to find that the room I was in turned out to be ...... It's a big change!
Last night, under the light of the oil lamp, I obviously saw the luxurious large room with decent decoration, but now it seems that the beam has collapsed, and the fire pit has also fallen into a corner, revealing a huge gap, and there is dirty dust everywhere, and the meal and tea that the fat proprietress brought me last night, the teapot is actually a broken crockpot, and the dishes in the tray are also dirty, and I don't know what it is.
It looks more like the decaying entrails of an animal, and it's been dug out of the sludge. I frowned, daring to love here...... It's not a black shop, it's a ghost shop!
However, at this moment, I was confused, why didn't I realize that the fat proprietress was a ghost? And I didn't perceive the existence of the slightest bit of yin qi, as well as the tricks in this room, these carving insect skills, originally, should not have been able to hide from me, but, but I was kept in the dark. No, there must be something wrong! At this moment, I immediately opened the eyes of heaven and looked around, but I saw that in the guest room next door, there were actually three coffins, and in the coffin, there were still rotting corpses!
But this is even more strange, if the fat proprietress is incarnated by one of the dead in the three coffins, why can't I detect the evil spirit inside when I open the eyes of heaven? This is too abnormal, is that coffin, no, is there some magic circle hidden in this inn? The evil spirit has been completely suppressed below, so I can't find out. But it's unlikely, because even if it's a magic circle, it can't stop my heavenly eye, and if there really is a magic circle, I should be able to see the location of the magic circle directly.
I stepped on it for a long time, and still didn't see any magic circles and town objects in this inn, I immediately opened the door, but saw that this courtyard was in a mess, my eyes widened slightly, and I was even more puzzled in my heart, this is outrageous, I was actually tricked by a ghost. And I still don't know why, which is a great irony......
Filled with doubts, I walked slowly to the antechamber, which was also ruined and ruined, completely different from what I had seen last night. It's just that the door of the inn is closed, I stretched out my hand to open the door, but I saw the inns on the opposite side that were still doing business, as well as the horses and wagons coming and going at the door, there was nothing unusual, and the outside were obviously real people and things, only the inn where I was a ghost nest.
I gritted my teeth slightly, pretending to be a ghost and got it on my head, and it still made me scratch my head, I was a little angry, and immediately strode out of the inn, but at this moment, but when I saw the pedestrians around me seeing me, I suddenly looked stunned, and then a circle of people ran away. I looked at them again in confusion, was it because I came out of this inn and they thought I was also a ghost?
Well, that is, they all know that this is a ghost inn?
I really wanted to catch someone and ask, but they all ran away, I had to come to an inn opposite, and saw the shopkeeper settling accounts, I immediately stepped forward, hugged my fists, and asked politely: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, do you know what is going on with the inn opposite?" ”
The shopkeeper was a bearded man in his forties, with a dark and fat face and strong muscles, and when he heard my words, the shopkeeper suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at me, and responded casually: "Little brother doesn't look like a businessman doing business, why did he come to our Banyang Town?" And it's okay not to leave early, but staring at the inn opposite to ask questions, when you go out, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, so as not to burn yourself! The little brother wants to stay in the hotel, we still have a vacant room, if you don't live in the store, let's leave quickly! ”
The shopkeeper's speech was very imposing, and when I heard the words, I smiled and said again: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's concern, I asked this matter recklessly, because I spent the night in the inn opposite last night, but after waking up and seeing the scene before, I felt very strange, and the passers-by outside saw that I came out of the inn in the next place, and I also ran in a panic like seeing a ghost, which made me even more confused in my heart, so I took the liberty to ask the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's ...... You're ...... You okay? ”
But when I was in the middle of speaking, the shopkeeper suddenly stiffened, and his hands, which were about to cross, began to tremble, and then trembled more and more, and his face became pale and weak. I took a step forward puzzled, and the shopkeeper immediately retreated in horror, and his feet were unstable, and he sat down with a thud...... His eyes were staring at me, gasping for air. I looked at the shopkeeper even more suspiciously, and then turned my head to look at the guests who were eating breakfast around me, but I saw that the guests had retreated into a corner at some point, and they all stared at me in horror, and all of them showed a look of deep fear.
"You ...... What's wrong with all of you? Isn't it just an inn? Why are you all so scared? If you're afraid, why are you all like people who are okay before you talk about it? This makes me a little puzzled! ”
I shook my head helplessly, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" Can't you ......?"
"Hurry up and ask for the Great Spirit Master!!"
Before I could finish my words, I saw that the shopkeeper immediately raised his hand and shouted five words with a scream like a pig. I was stunned, Great Spirit Master? Could it be that the exorcist here can't do it?!
