"When do we take the initiative to challenge others? Naturally, when you have to be sure, I'm worried about Sun Shantian...... I don't know what evil method was used, in short, his cultivation should be much higher, Lin Hao is afraid that he can't cope with it! ”

"So how are we going to do it?" Ning Xun'er listened for a long time, and roughly knew about our personal grudges.

I sighed, "If it's an infighting, I may not be afraid of him, Rao is the three of us are invincible, aren't there Lin Hao and Jiang Xiaocheng?" I'm afraid that we won't be able to complete the task with our scattered sand, and we will get into trouble instead......"

The original excitement of going down the mountain turned into a chaotic thought entangled around us at this moment, Lin Haojiang Xiaocheng walked in the front, the two of them were speechless, Sun Shantian was Duanmu Nineteen and Song Zitang on the left and right, Han Yuan and me, Ning Xun'er fell at the end, and no one had the heart to speak again.

Day and night, when everyone arrived at Taiping Town, it was already dusk.

Taiping Town, I have always liked this name, and I feel ominous for no reason - in the past, in Nianjiazhai, the place where the deceased was placed was called Taiping Temple, Taiping Taiping, isn't it very close to the sacrifice and the dead?

After we actually arrived, it was not as strange as we expected, it was quite a small town, but the shops on both sides of Qingshi Street were sparse, most of them were closed to welcome customers, and there were not many pedestrians, and the empty road was a little bleak.

The people paid the money and sent the carriage away, and then they scattered around and looked at the Taiping Town.

Han Yuan looked around and said with a little disappointment, "This is just a small town, three inches of land, what else can happen, entrust us in vain." ”

Ning Xun'er asked us how to settle down next, and how to respond to the Penglai Apostle, Lin Hao only said that he had his own strategy, stepped forward in three or two steps, and stopped the old man in cloth who was passing by on the side of the street and selling potatoes with a flat shoulder, and inquired, "I'm bothered, dare to ask the old gentleman if you know, where is the Yuelai Inn in Taiping Town?" ”

The old man was about to be old, his skin was like the old bark of a dead tree, his eyes were cloudy, and when he heard Lin Hao's words, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise. ”

Although we all have the white gauze clothes distributed by Penglai's disciples, ordinary people may not be able to see it, and Lin Hao has no intention of confessing his identity, but he passed through here and heard that the wine and food in the inn there are quite good, so he came here.

The old man sighed heavily and waved his hand, "If it's just a fresh picture...... Come back early! Seeing that we were puzzled, he lowered his voice, "Taiping Town has not been peaceful recently, and I don't hide it from the old man, it is what Yuelai Inn you inquired about in the future life, at the mouth of Yongxiang, one mile ahead, I didn't know that it was the day before yesterday, and someone died!" ”

We were suddenly startled, and we couldn't help but look around and look at each other.

Yuelai Inn, dead, dead!?

I just felt that the wind was blowing somewhere, and the chill swept through my whole body in a flash, and I couldn't help but shiver and shiver.

Duanmu Nineteen, who had been silent like a shadow, lowered his head and spoke softly, "Then why do you have to go to Yuelai Inn, just change it......"

The old man saw that a few of us had no intention of retreating, and he was helpless, so he picked up the flat shoulder and left, and his back gradually drifted away, "Old man, I am also hearsay, in short, there have been many incidents in Taiping Town recently, and you are a few descendants, ask for more blessings, be careful......"

In this way, Taiping Town seems to be a little more treacherous, although I grew up in the mountains, I will also go to nearby towns in the second festival of the year, which is far more lively than Taiping Town.

Han Yuan's face was not completely fearless, he pressed down, looked at Lin Hao, and said with some difficulty, "Lin Hao, we ...... Shall we go to the Joy Inn? You listen to what the old man said, but you're not bluffing......"

Lin Hao frowned and thought for a moment, "Go, naturally I want to go, it was mentioned in the dossier delivered by the master that the Penglai apostle who received us is still there." If you don't go, there will be no clue to all kinds of incidents. ”

28

When everyone heard me say this, they were stunned and stopped.

On Lin Hao's face, a look of hesitation flashed, "Could it be that it is, what kind of cultivation is the Penglai Apostle?" Maybe it's because it's because it's the place where the incident happened, and we don't know it, but now we have a thousand doubts, and we don't know until we see it. ”

Everyone was disturbed by this, and they didn't have the intention to say much, and went all the way until they came to the Yuelai Inn.

The inn is not big, it seems that it has not been pretended for many years, it is dusk, and the night has not come, the diners of the inn are sparse, and the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man who is about to stand, lazy and calculating the accounts.

After a tiring journey, everyone was hungry, Han Yuan slapped his palm on the shopkeeper's table, and frightened the man into thinking that he had come to smash the field, but before he could calm down, it was Han Yuan's loud voice, "Boss, if you have any good wine and food, come up, and open nine more rooms!" ”

As soon as she said this, the few diners in the inn came over, whispered, and secretly pointed out to our group.

The boss raised his head, looked at Han Yuan in disbelief, and said suspiciously, "You guys...... Do you want to stay in a hotel? ”

I was puzzled, "What, isn't there no room?" Are you worried that we won't be able to pay for the house? ”

The boss looked at us carefully again and sighed deeply, "Little shop...... It will be closed in a few days, and if you want to live, you must sign a life and death deed first, and the money will not be collected. ”

A deed of life and death?

Han Yuan and I are dumbfounded, an inn, and the hotel is not a ring, where did the life and death contract come from? Lin Hao stopped Song Zitang from wanting to speak, and said to the boss, "Just according to what you say." ”

After signing the contract, everyone sat down, and the wine and food came up one after another, but it was quite good-looking, I felt hungry, so I had to move the chopsticks, I heard Ning Xun'er ask Lin Hao, what is this mission, and the tone was quite excited.

Lin Hao was originally serving soup, but put down the bowl and spoon at this moment, "It's better to eat first, I'm afraid that if I say the task, no one will be able to eat." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man sitting next to him suddenly put down his glass and walked towards us. walked to the table and whispered, "Friends...... But the people of Penglai Mountain? ”

Our group suddenly became alert, and looked over together, Song Zitang said coldly, "How, isn't it?" ”

The man was extremely happy, with a beard, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and a large white tooth that protruded, not tall, slightly hunched back.

The man didn't mind, so he sat down on one side of the stool, and said with a smile, "In Xia Baole, Penglai Apostle, I am here to greet you." As he spoke, he took a token and handed it to the nearest Han Kite, who handed it to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao carefully inspected it, returned it, and bowed his head solemnly, "Penglai disciples have seen their predecessors, and they are more offended, and I hope to bear with them." ”

That Bao Le didn't care at all, took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks and ate a large piece of wine and food on the table, and said vaguely, "It's easy to say, alas, you are also ...... It's too late, this town, I really can't resist a handful of old bones! ”

Han Yuan laughed and teased me, "Shocking water, Penglai also has such a character, and he is a ...... who is enough to 'Baole'."

I saw that the man was full of food, his big white teeth chewed quickly, and he wanted to laugh, but he finally held back, "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to be an apostle of Penglai, your cultivation will never be low, you look at ordinary people...... Which...... How can you eat so much? ”

Han Yuan glanced at the wooden table, and was dumbfounded, a table of food, we only moved a few chopsticks, but the plate bottomed out!

Everyone was embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say anything, and after paying for the meal, Bao Le finally remembered and told us about the task, there were not many people in the store but they were also mixed, so they all went upstairs to the guest room.

Entering the room with the door, everyone was sitting at the table, and Bao Le was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of me packing his bags, but he was suddenly surprised.

"The ...... of you"

I looked at him suspiciously, and after he looked at me carefully, he shook his head, smiled and waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just that you reminded me of the old man...... That descendant," he hurriedly turned to Lin Hao, "Let's talk about how Penglai explained first?" ”

Lin Hao nodded slightly, took out the file and spread it out on the table, "Taiping Town has always been isolated from the outside world and does not ask about the world. Recently, however, the people here contracted a strange disease, and without warning, they lost blood all over their bodies, and they became dried corpses overnight. And there are frequent children who leave at night, and they never come back, which makes people panic......"

Song Zitang's expression changed slightly, and he spoke a little unnaturally, "Could this be true, I don't know if it's a lie?" ”

"Alas, how is it not true," Bao Le sighed deeply, "A few little friends don't know, there has never been anything wrong with this place in Xia'an, but in the past two or three months, there have been frequent accidents, and the dead are one after another, which is strange." As for the government, in order not to teach the people to panic, I can't check the news at all...... Let's just say that in our inn, why did we sign a life and death contract? The innkeeper had a pair of dragon and phoenix children, and a few days ago, the half-grown girl doll disappeared! ”

"No clues?"

Bao Le scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked forward to Ai Ai, "This, there are some, but I'm afraid it's not allowed." Some say it's groundless, some say it's demonic, and some say it's haunted......"

Everyone looked different, all strange, I said helplessly, "What kind of scene is that, do you know the seniors?" ”

He smiled, "What do I ...... In Penglai was idle before he was sent down, if this cultivation is capable, I'm afraid it's not as good as your little friends, you come, Taiping Town will be saved, fortunately even ya, fortunately even ya! ”

Everyone was speechless, it seems that this Bao Le really has no score, and the Penglai apostles are not all skilled. Lin Hao seemed to want to say something, frowned and swallowed back, and ordered everyone to go back to their rooms to settle their luggage, and then dispersed.

This room is not big, but it is also a little elegant, embroidered with lotus brocade screen, the mahogany table is not spotty, the bronze mirror on the high stool is open, the bed is quite large, the bedding is neat, so the room does not charge room money, it must be the haunted rumor, so that the business is really bleak.

While thinking to myself, I put down my luggage and was about to pour a cup of tea, when I heard a knock on the door, but it was Han Yuan and Ning Xun'er, standing at the door with their own covers.

"You two don't go back to your room, what are you doing here?" Confused, I leaned sideways and let in.

"Senior sister, people are panicking when they hear what Senior Brother Lin said, I'm scared ......" Ning Xun'er came in, put the futon on my bed, and sat along, pitifully clutching the corners of her clothes, "I was born with yin and yang eyes, and I can see those who are not clean, and it is safer to live with you." ”

What is Yin-Yang Eye?

When I was reading a lot of books in the Hundred Scroll Pavilion, I once saw and heard in the "Three Realms of Different Aspirations", Yin and Yang Eyes, also known as the Heavenly Eye. It refers to the Tianyan Tong in the five or six paths of Buddhism, which can see the life and death, suffering and happiness of all living beings, and all kinds of actions in the world. Tianyantong is one of the magical powers that Buddhists have obtained after arduous practice, and very few people are born with a good understanding of yin and yang, and can see ghosts and gods without cow tears, such a medium as willow. It is said that people with yin and yang eyes predict disasters and invite disasters.

"Okay, let's live together, it's good to have a care...... Han Yuan, what's wrong with you, you also have yin and yang eyes? ”

Han Yuan poured three cups of tea for us, and smiled, "How can my aunt be afraid of that ghostly thing, Zuo is just here to have a good time." Then Shen mysteriously lowered his voice and asked me, "Is Lin Hao next door to you?" ”

I almost squirted out a sip of tea, these two people are really better than the other!

It's night, and it's peaceful.

I may be used to living in Penglai, but now I have suddenly changed places and have not adapted, tossing and turning left to sleep without sinking, the weak insects outside the window feel very clear in the ears, gently open the eyes, the bleak moonlight outside the window, the mottled shadow of the ball tree branches, reflected on the window lattice.

I rolled over and pulled the futon with my hand, but I was suddenly startled, and cold sweat was dripping on my back! Han Kite was on my left, and she was asleep at the moment, but the mattress on her right was empty.

What about Ning Xun'er?!
