Chapter Seventy-Six: Fengdu Huangtang
There were a few knocks on the door, but there was no movement inside.
On the contrary, it was the sound of knocking on the door, echoing in this dead street, although the fifth Tingyun was not small, but the surroundings were dim, only the two red lanterns above his head emitted a faint light, with the echo of the knock on the door, it felt strange to listen to it.
The lantern on the head is the same as the lantern on the city wall, and the shadow of the ghost is also depicted on the outside, which should be a major feature of the ghost city of Fengdu.
"Come in. ”
He was about to knock again, but a voice was heard from inside.
The door was unlocked, he pushed it open, crept in cautiously, and saw only a shopkeeper-like figure behind the door, who seemed to be writing something. Then he entered the building, closed the door, and looked around.
The room was small, and five feet from the door was a counter, with a grid made of thick wooden strips, and a room was divided into two halves inside and outside. Fifth, as soon as Tingyun came in, he felt that this was probably a pawnshop-like pattern.
There was a kerosene lamp lit on the counter, and the light was weaker than the lantern outside.
Other than that, he didn't pay much attention to the other furnishings in the house.
"Brother is from the Northern Tianzi Gate, or is it from the Xuanzi Gate?" When the fifth Tingyun was looking around, the shopkeeper was also looking at the fifth Tingyun. When the shopkeeper saw the visit, he cautiously asked through the incision of his own church.
Fifth, Tingyun understood this incision, was stunned for a moment, and said: "What Tianzimen Xuanzimen, I am from Yuyang County in the south." ”
The shopkeeper remained silent, and asked again: "Is the guest officer here to deliver the goods, or is he the one who takes over?"
"I'm here to catch a thief. "Fifth, Tingyun was too lazy to entangle with the other party, and got straight to the point. But as soon as he spoke, a trace of inexplicable feeling suddenly surged in his heart, the wanted criminal ran to the store to catch the pickpocket, which is really interesting to say.
"Where are the thieves?" the shopkeeper asked rhetorically, putting down the pen in his hand, his face moving slightly.
"I still want to deny it, I followed the thief all the way here, and I saw him enter your building with my own eyes, could it be that there will be a fake?" The fifth Tingyun said as he knocked the counter with his sword, trying to coerce the shopkeeper by force, and he could see that this shopkeeper was not a martial cultivator.
But when the shopkeeper heard this, not only was he not afraid, but he smiled slightly, picked up the pen again, and said: "The guest officer has found the wrong place, I have been on duty until now, and no one has come in." ”
Fifth, listening to Yun listening to the shopkeeper open his eyes and talk nonsense, he slowly became angry in his heart, Bai Jie was still waiting for him in the wild woods, he didn't have time to waste it here: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't care what kind of thief's nest you have here, as long as you return my money bag to me." ”
"The guest officer can speak with his conscience, and the second dish incense hall is a well-known second-hand goods trading house, not a thief's nest in the mouth of the guest officer. The shopkeeper always smiled and spoke tepidly.
"Hmph!" the fifth Tingyun sneered, it seemed that the shopkeeper did not have the attitude of returning things at all, he swept the house, and saw a closed door at the end of the aisle, so he said, "What a second-hand goods trading company! It seems that I can only catch the thief myself and recover the lost property." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed to the end of the aisle with an arrow step and opened the door with a single palm. The shopkeeper's brows furrowed slightly, put down the pen and walked over, it seemed that the fifth Tingyun's actions also made him a little angry: "Young man, I advise you to leave quickly, don't provoke yourself!"
Ha, the original form is revealed. Fifth, Tingyun cared about the threat of an ordinary shopkeeper, pushed the shopkeeper away with one palm, and entered the door. As soon as he stepped into the door with his front feet, he heard a bang, and the wooden door behind him was actually closed, and he pulled it twice, and the door was locked from the outside.
"Dare to say that this is not a den of thieves, huh. The fifth heard that Yun Zhanjian was in front of him, and he was not in a hurry to break down the door, he looked around, and the layout of the furnishings here was exactly the same as the counter outside, and it was also a narrow aisle five feet wide and two feet long, and next to the aisle was a counter space separated by a grid.
Kerosene lamps are lit on both sides of the aisles, which are much brighter than outside.
There was no one at the counter, and he walked down the aisle to the end, where there was another door. This door is slightly taller and larger than the ones outside, and there are words on the door plaque, he looked up and saw that it was "Fengdu Huangtang" four italics. Thinking of the outermost "Second Dish Five Fragrance Hall" in the attic, then this Fengdu Yellow Hall is probably one of the halls under the Five Fragrance Hall.
As usual, the door was just closed and not closed.
He pushed the door open and walked in again. This time he went to a relatively large room, and there were twelve headlights in the room, which were illuminated through. There are more than 20 pear wood chairs neatly arranged on the left and right sides of the room, and a Taishi chair is in the middle, and there is a picture of mountains and rivers hanging behind the Taishi chair.
It seems that this is the headquarters of the so-called "Fengdu Huangtang"?
In addition to the door that the fifth Tingyun came into, there was a door on the other side of this room. The fifth Tingyun was observing the room when the other door opened, and three people walked in one by one. The person who walked in the front of the three came to the fifth Tingyun, clasped his fists and said, "This guest officer, our hall master is invited." ”
After speaking, he leaned sideways and made a gesture of please.
"Your hall master?" Fifth Tingyun suddenly realized that he seemed to have really broken into the headquarters, but first, he was a newborn calf, and secondly, he saw that these three people were just newcomers who had just entered the martial arts, so he had confidence, "It's better to be free, I just want my money bag back." ”
"Stinky boy, please be polite, don't fucking toast and don't eat and drink, Huang Xiangtang can't take your turn to be a hairy boy. The person in the back seemed to have a good temper, and immediately pointed to the fifth Tingyun and scolded.
Fifth, hearing that Yun had been stolen money, and now he was scolded again, he naturally felt uncomfortable, although he didn't want to cause trouble, but after all, he took advantage of it, so he sneered: "Do you still talk about etiquette?
The three were more honest than the shopkeeper, at least they didn't deny it was a den of thieves with a hippie smile.
"Mom, look for a fight. ”
I don't know who scolded, and the three of them rushed up together.
Fifth, hearing that the cloud sword was not unsheathed, it snapped three times, and directly hit the knees of the three people, and the legs of the three people were weak, and they all fell to the ground. These three newcomers to the martial arts are not even considered to be the perfection of the quenching realm, how can they be the opponents of the fifth Tingyun?
As the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. With just one look, the three of them knew that the young man in front of them was far from being able to deal with them. The three of them glanced at each other, then each got up, and after the violent temper dropped the sentence "There is a kind of you waiting for me", the three of them withdrew from the door one after another.
After the three of them left, the fifth Tingyun simply found a chair to sit down and waited quietly. Since this is someone's church, there will always be people looking for it. He had already made up his mind that he would not give up until he took back the money bag, but the next two people who came over made him secretly say in his heart: It seems that this money bag will not come back, and even people will be folded here......
"This guest officer, our hall master is invited. After the two entered the house, the opening remarks were the same as before.
Fifth Tingyun glanced at it, and knew that these two people were already martial cultivators of the Nayuan Realm. It was only then that he realized that what he had broken into might not be just an ordinary hall, how could it be simple to be able to casually send out two Nayuan Realm martial artists?
