Although the terrain of Hengling is a little rougher, it is just this small place, and Zimeng comes to sweep the tomb of the old woman, and it is easy to run into them.

Lu Fu asked softly, just talking to herself.

Mu Chen turned around, looked at her, and said, "No." ”

Midorifu looked at him suspiciously.

"The place where Zimeng is going is more steep than here, and it won't be so easy to meet."

Is it more steep than the mountain in Juqing Temple? Lu Fu frowned and asked puzzledly, "Then why are you still relieved to let her go to the tomb alone?" ”

"It's coming—" The shopkeeper dragged a long voice, took the plates in both hands, smiled earnestly, and put them on the table for them.

"The two guest officers, please use it slowly, you need some heat to cook the sweetfish, and then serve it later." The shopkeeper said apologetically, "There are many customers in the store, if you neglect the two, please forgive me!" ”

Lu Fu's attention was distracted a lot by the shopkeeper, and he no longer bothered about why Mu Chen was relieved that Zimeng would go to the precipitous place alone to sweep the tomb of the old woman.

asked the shopkeeper, "This Hengling is not a prosperous place, why do you have so many customers?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Hey, it's like this every late autumn." Although Hengling is not a prosperous place, there are many temples. Autumn goes to the winter solstice, and soon it will be the end of the year. In order to have a good year, many people come to the temple early to pray for good fortune and safety. In addition, the autumn scenery of Hengling is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, and if you want to stay for a few more days, there will be more people! ”

When the shopkeeper saw Lu Fu talking, as soon as the box was opened, he couldn't hold it anymore, and continued: "If you want to say that when there are many people, there are still few now!" ——Two months ago, the temples in Hengling held a prayer festival together, with great momentum, gathering blessings, and protecting all souls. The people in those states and counties near Hengling have heard the sound, but it is very lively! Almost every inn is packed, and business is not booming!

……”

The shopkeeper talked with relish, his round face was full of red light, his eyes were shining, and he was quite excited.

Behind him, a guest knocked on the dishes and chopsticks, pulling his throat and shouting: "The shopkeeper! Serving! ”

"It's coming-" The shopkeeper turned his head and responded loudly, then turned to face Mu Chen and Lu Fu, and said, "Business is busy, so the villain will retreat first, the two guest officers, please use it slowly!" ”

"Wait." Mu Chen suddenly spoke, took out a few silver taels from his arms, put them on the table, and said, "When you're done, remember to come to me." ”

Catching up with Lu Fu's puzzled gaze, Mu Chen glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "The story is very exciting. ”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, his eyes lit up, he smiled understandingly, touched the silver two in his hand, stuffed it into his sleeve, and said quite respectfully: "Yes, yes, the villain understands." ”

Immediately, the shopkeeper made a gesture to slow down and went to serve food to the others.

Seeing that they didn't say much and asked more, but they already knew everything, they left Lufu alone and confused.

She couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?" ”

"Let's eat first." Mu Chen didn't look at him, pinched two wooden chopsticks and came out, took a bite of the dish slowly, and chewed it carefully.

Lu Fu couldn't help but wonder again, was he still General Mu who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely at that time, and countless Heavenly Dynasty soldiers fell in love with him?

At noon, Li Zhutou and others had already come to Hengling, and Mu Chen didn't meet with them, and he couldn't do it.

So Lufu didn't go either, and waited for news from them in the inn.

After the shopkeeper was busy, he really went up to the fourth floor and knocked on Mu Chen's room.

"Come in." Mu Chen said lightly inside.

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and went in, and asked with a sincere smile: "I don't know what the guest officer wants to inquire about the villain?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Fu glanced at Mu Chen.

"I heard that Hengling two months ago, ten lively?" Mu Chen got up and walked to the table, poured a cup of tea across the chair, and motioned for him to sit down.

The shopkeeper nodded, and he was not polite, so he directly picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Yes, doesn't the guest officer know?" He looked at him suspiciously.

At that time, Mu Chen was still fighting in Daxuan, and he had not returned to the Celestial Empire, so how could he only know whether Hengling was lively or not?

Zimeng paid attention to Hengling, and she just swept the grave for the old lady, and no matter how lively other things were, she didn't pay attention to them.

"But is it every year?" He asked faintly.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "That's not true." His face was a little tangled, "This event is unprecedented, it is only this year, and it is also the most lively one in Hengling." ”

That event, even if he didn't participate, Mu Chen could guess how grand and lively it was.

The terrain of Hengling is rugged, and few outsiders come over, but the temples can meet and carry out a blessing meeting, which is a full month of effort. Then during that time, it must have attracted a lot of people from various states and counties of the Celestial Empire.

There is an endless stream of people, whether it is a noble eunuch, a flat farmer, or a wealthy businessman, they will come one after another, bringing a lot of customers and oil and water to each inn.

Although the shopkeeper is a miscellaneous shopkeeper, he is a person who can have direct contact with customers, and the small amount of money he gives is enough for him to fill his money bag.

But he showed such a tangled look......

"Did you go to see that event?" Green Fu interjected and asked.

The shopkeeper smiled, "Eh, there will be people coming over from time to time in this inn, how can the villain leave?" It's just that some talkative guests have spoken a few more words to me, so that I can gain knowledge. ”

There are a lot of people in the inn, and the fish and dragons are mixed, and any kind of gossip can be circulated at will.

Guests come and go, but the shopkeeper stays here for a long time.

All those gossip were gathered in him alone, and they accumulated more and more.

"This prayer meeting is lively, but the villain heard that some people also died because of this prayer meeting." The shop is small and two-way.

Lu Fu hurriedly asked, "Death?" ”

Could it be that the female corpse that died horizontally was not only found in Suyang City, but also happened in Hengling?

Just because, this prayer meeting.

Zhao Yulian and the Gu family depend on each other, although they have a sad life, but Zhao Yu treats his mother very filtily. Two months ago, Zhao Yulian came to Hengling, maybe he came to pray for blessings.

And Miao Xiang is about to get married, and the old father and sisters in the family will be put down. She may also come to this prayer meeting to pray for the safety of her loved ones.

These messages all point to the prayer meeting two months ago, so what happened to that prayer meeting?

The shopkeeper bowed his head, took another sip of tea, and then said: "Yes, this person comes and goes, and the terrain of Hengling is complicated, so naturally many people have died in this strange mountain and dangerous peak." I've heard that there are still people who haven't recovered the bodies of those people! If you want me to say, how can the body of this person who fell off the cliff still be fished......"

Lufu's heart was half cold. That's why......

Mu Chen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked like he was tapping his fingers on the wooden table casually, looking absent-minded, but in fact he had been listening carefully.

Lu Fu was disappointed, so she also kept silent.

The shopkeeper is still a little confused, the original good prayer party, but because of the terrain is too dangerous, people lost their lives, isn't it a regrettable thing?

At this time, Mu Chen suddenly stopped what he was doing and asked him a question: "What is there about that prayer meeting that makes people talk about it after returning to the inn?" ”
