Chapter 378: Nether Inn

(Cat flutter Chinese)

"There's something wrong with this coulee." After Gu Li walked away, Cao Nan said. I nodded, and the person looked closely to see that nothing was wrong, but it felt like something was wrong.

Hu Lai frowned slightly, looked at the stilted building halfway up the mountainside, and said

"This teahouse is gloomy, something is wrong, be careful at night." Cao Nan shrunk his neck and said

"Do we have to spend the night here, I think Guli's house is quite spacious." Hu Lai shook his head and said

"Feng Daniu has stayed here for four or five days, and he must go to see what he will gain if he is not in order."

"Let's go, it's all here." Huang Mao took the lead and walked up, took a few steps and turned back to me and Cao Nan

"I'm afraid this teahouse is not for ordinary people, don't talk later, be smart." Cao Nan and I nodded in response.

I looked at it, and it was a stilted building, not a cave, and the cave had a wooden ladder underneath, supported by high wooden stakes, and it looked like a stilted building.

When I got closer, I felt like a ghost cave. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and there was no electric light inside, only a horse lantern swaying in the cool mountain wind, emitting a faint light, and still emitting

The noise of "rattling" makes it feel as if the heart has been pinched by something, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Other than that, there was a deathly silence, no more sound. Huang Mao led us up the stairs to the entrance of the cave, where there was also a lantern, illuminating the appearance of the counter.

When I stepped forward, the shopkeeper's appearance almost scared me. This is a lifeless old man, skinny as wood, so his eyes are particularly prominent, lying on the chaise long, with two points of yellow mangs planted in it like ghost fire, if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he thought it was a dry corpse that had been dead for a long time.

Huang Mao didn't have any different colors on his face, and said with a smile

"My husband is tired, take a break."

"Where do the guests come from?" The shopkeeper sat up slowly, his voice extremely hoarse, like a patient dying of tuberculosis, as if he was about to die at any moment.

"Nanling" Huangmao Road. The shopkeeper's eyes flickered slightly, glancing at the four of us, and finally stopping at me for a moment, slowly holding out a finger.

"I'm tired." Huang Mao said, and then said

"I'm looking for a place where this man has rested." After speaking, he pulled his mobile phone twice and flipped out Feng Daniu's photo.

The shopkeeper took one look and held out two more fingers.

"Okay." Huang Mao nodded with a smile, counted out three thousand yuan from his bag, and put it on the counter. I was stunned, this store, what do you want, it costs 1,000 yuan a night, if you are in the city, you can live in a star-rated hotel.

Even more surprised was still behind, Huang Mao named the room where Feng Daniu lived, and actually added 2,000 yuan.

Nima, what could be more lucrative in this world than this? I suddenly became more and more puzzled, what kind of teahouse is this, why is it so strange?

But Huang Mao told us not to talk before, so we had to suppress the problem. The shopkeeper slowly stretched out his hand, which was also skinny, accepted the three thousand yuan, picked up the key next to him, lifted the lantern, and led us to the cave without saying a word.

The cave was a bit deeper than I expected, and it was getting wider and wider. When I went to the innermost, I saw dozens of caves dug on both sides and sealed with stone doors, leaving only a very small window.

In the middle of the cave stands a high platform, and it is unknown what it is used for. The shopkeeper took us to one of the caves, and I took a look at it and saw that the stone door was covered with fine lines, and there were obvious signs of arrangement.

The shopkeeper inserted the key into a small hole in the stone door, and the stone door suddenly

The "boom" opened, and it was very thick. The shopkeeper walked in, picked up an oil lamp from the cave and lit it on the lantern, and turned to us

"It's just the right time tonight." After saying that, he put down the oil lamp, carried the lantern out of the cave and left. Huang Mao immediately pressed it next to the stone gate, the stone door rumbled and closed again, and Hu Lai took out two talismans and crossed the small hole in the stone door.

"What the hell is this place?" I couldn't help it and hurriedly whispered.

"This is a Nether Inn." Huang Mao Road.

"Nether Inn?" Cao Nan and I looked at each other, confused. Hu Lai explained

"In short, this kind of inn is not only for people to live, but also for things that are not people." My heart jumped, it's not a human thing, it's a ghost, a ghost?

No wonder it's so eerie. I looked around the cavern, it was crowded, only seven or eight squares, and there was nothing but a smooth bunk.

"This kind of inn, a thousand yuan a night, and there are still people to stay?" Cao Nan asked.

"Strictly speaking, the Nether Inn isn't just a place to stay." Huang Mao put his backpack on the bunk and said

"This kind of inn also has another function, which is to communicate with each other, exchange some information, news or special items, and so on." I nodded, as if I didn't understand.

"This stone door is blessed with a secret method, which can ensure the safety of the people or ghosts who trade, and will not be harmed by mutual contact, the ghost door is opened in the middle of the night, and the door of the living is opened at dawn." Hu Lai explained further.

I finally understood, thought about it

"That means that Feng Daniu came here to trade with ghosts to obtain information?"

"It should be." Hu Lai nodded and said

"I just don't know what he wants to know."

"Is the Oni Clan well-informed?" Cao Nan asked suspiciously.

"Ghosts come and go without a trace, there are many more ways to obtain intelligence than living people, both tracking and investigation have innate advantages, if the intelligence network they build is the second, then I am afraid that no one in the world dares to call it the first, as long as you can afford the price, this intelligence network can serve you. Of course, the things they want are by no means cheap, either intelligence or very precious natural treasures. Hu Laidao.

I nodded, indeed, ghosts inquire about the news, not to mention anything else, the speed of light is much faster than that of people, people use their feet to run, ghosts can run into ghosts, and the back and forth is very fast.

The only inconvenience can only be seen at night and not during the day.

"The shopkeeper said that the time is just right tonight, which means that there will be ghost dealers coming tonight." Huang Mao Road.

"So what kind of news do they sell, and do they have any credibility?" I asked hurriedly.

"All news is peddlered, and even as soon as you turn around, it will sell your news to others, as for reputation, how to say it, this is the last choice that there is no other way, it depends on luck, if you buy fake news, you can only admit bad luck." Hu Laidao.

"Huh?" I was speechless, said

"Can you do this kind of business?"

"There are still relatively few fake news, generally the news is not accurate enough, this is different for each Nether Inn, I have heard of this before, and it is said that the reputation is okay." Huang Mao Road.

"Wait patiently, since Feng Daniu has stayed here for four or five days, he will definitely be noticed, and he may be able to buy his news." Hu Lai also sat down and lay down directly on the bunk.

Cao Nan and I lay on the small entrance of the stone gate and went outside, and at this time we found that the shopkeeper had come back again, took two people, and went to a cave opposite.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that a third of the cave was lit up, apparently inhabited.

After that, every half hour and hour, the shopkeeper would bring people in. This lifeless Netherworld Inn has been living nearly half of it one after another, and there are some dark caves full of ghosts, which seem to be inhabited by ghosts.

Gradually, the time pointed to eleven o'clock, and a burst of black fog suddenly surged outside, obscuring all vision, but the stone door of the cave opened from time to time, and opened again from time to time.

"The ghosts are coming, too." Huang Mao said lightly.

"Are there ghost dealers coming to the Nether Inn every day?" I asked suspiciously, Feng Daniu has been here for four or five days.

Huang Mao shook his head and said

"Generally not, each Netherworld Inn is different, most of them are once a day, and some may not be ten days and half a month." I nodded, in this way, it should be that Feng Daniu went to Tiger Leaping Rock after getting the news, or he didn't get the news he wanted and had to leave.

Gradually, the time pointed to twelve. Suddenly, I heard someone outside start talking, but I couldn't hear it clearly, it was very strange, it was not far away.

"The ghost dealers are coming." Hu Lai immediately sat up. I nodded, it was supposed to be a deal, each with its own secrets, hidden to avoid being heard.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the ghost dealer's spy voice came from outside the door, without a little popularity

"It's your turn, what do you want to know?" Huang Mao glanced at me and Cao Nan, and I immediately became vigilant, and then he slowly tore open the yellow talisman that Hu Lai had pasted, and took out a photo of Feng Daniu, and said

"I'm looking for this guy."

"This person came here a few days ago, three yin incense." Ghost dealers make an offer.

"It's expensive!" Huang Mao frowned and said

"Two at most."

"Thirteen Caves Netherworld Inn, no bargaining." The ghost dealer's voice was cold, and he said unceremoniously. Hu Lai's face suddenly showed a painful look, gritted his teeth, took out three sticks of incense with silver veins from the bag, and handed them out from the small hole.

Don't talk about Hu Lai, I'm also distressed, Yin incense is a very expensive thing, and when burned out, it will produce a very strong yin qi, ghosts especially like to smoke, a bit similar to the cigarettes smoked by living people.

Dealing with ghosts, it will be much more convenient to have this kind of thing, of course, provided that the ghost has no grudge or entanglement with you, otherwise it is looking for death.

The ghost dealer took the incense that Hu Lai handed out and said

"This person went to Tiger Leaping Rock, and he has a ghost aura on his body." We are all in unison, Feng Da Niu has a ghost spirit?

What's going on?

"You make it clear, what the hell?" I hurriedly asked. But there was no response from outside.

"Don't ask, the trading of humans and ghosts is a curse, and it won't be too clear." Huang Mao shook his head and said.

I was speechless, the three yin incense sticks in exchange for a more confusing answer were indeed a more confusing answer. I thought that it would be enough to find Feng Daniu and bring him back to Jinpen Township, but I didn't expect that there would be more and more branches, and I became more and more confused.

"Feng Daniu can't be possessed by a ghost, right? Otherwise, where does the ghost come from? Cao Nan asked. Hu Lai frowned and said

"Feng Daniu is also a person who practices the law, and he also brought a water and fire stick with him when he left, so he shouldn't be easily possessed by ghosts." We were silent, and for a moment we couldn't figure out what was going on.

......At this moment, a violent gust of wind blew in from the direction outside the cave, and swished from the top of the door hole into the cave, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.

Our faces have changed drastically, this kind of yin wind, I'm afraid that a ruthless character has come. Soon, a somewhat familiar shout rang out

"Get out of here!" Immediately after, the trembling voice of the ghost dealer sounded

"I don't know ...... The King of Lu is coming, and there is ...... There is a long way to go! When we heard this, it was even colder to the bone.

King Lu! This bastard actually came to Qiannan, but fortunately he came to this Netherworld Inn. Immediately after, the voice of the King of Lu sounded again

"Recently, there are four little cubs here, two of whom have Lingnan accents, have you ever seen them?" …… Cat flutter Chinese
