Chapter 30: The Inn of Life and Death
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Bursts of coughing sound floated over the ancient road, and the corners of Chu Tian's mouth also overflowed with a little blood.
This is the sequelae of forcing out the heart and blood, and it takes a long period of recovery.
Ye Lan took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
Walking and stopping along the ancient road of sheep intestines, the wild wolf said goodbye to Chu Tian and went back to deal with the matter of the mercenary group, and the two of them supported each other all the way.
One morning, the sky was full of red clouds, and a red sun the size of a grinding disc spurted out like a furnace of boiling molten iron, crystal dazzling, the mountains were dyed red, and Yelan's face was like a ripe red apple.
Suddenly, a man in his twenties with a nose in his hand held a sword, and his face was gloomy and blocked the way.
The comer was not good, and Chu Tian tightened the handle of the knife.
"Don't, you can't beat him, leave it to me......" Liu frowned, and Ye Lan stepped in front of Chu Tian: "What are you doing here?"
"Hmph!" The man with a collapsed nose stared at Chu Tian coldly, then turned to Ye Lan and said lightly: "Lan'er, uncle is afraid that you are in danger, let me take you back!"
Ye Lan brushed the hair in front of her forehead, and bit her silver teeth: "Who is your Lan'er?" Don't dream, you have nothing to do with me, and I won't go back with you!"
"If you don't go back with me, I'll kill him first!" After Collapsed Nose finished speaking, the figure disappeared out of thin air, and suddenly slapped his palm towards Chu Tian.
Chu Tian watched his palms approaching but was powerless to dodge, and he couldn't even raise his hand to resist, so he had to resist desperately.
"Bang!" flew out of his chest as if he had been hit by a mountain, spewing out a mouthful of blood mist along the way.
With a "ding" sound, Ye Lan pulled out her sword and pressed it against her neck: "Stop! If you kill him, I will kill myself!"
"Hmph, the toad wants to eat swan meat, an ant!" The man with a collapsed nose flashed a pair of snake-like eyes, and said lightly: "You can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him for a lifetime, unless you go with me, I will let him go, otherwise he will die!"
Climbing up with difficulty, Chu Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glared at the man with a collapsed nose and said, "Ahem...... I have written down this palm, no matter who you are, one day, I will let you repay it tenfold!"
"Hahaha! Then I'll see how you ant makes me pay it back. The man with the slumped-nosed face looked disdainful.
Turning his head, he saw Chu Tian vomiting blood, Ye Lan's heart ached, and a line of crystal tears dripped to the ground, he knew that he had to leave to save Chu Tian's life: "Brother Mu, I'm leaving, don't come to me, otherwise you will die, take care of yourself!"
"Ahem...... ahem" Seeing Ye Lan's back disappear, Chu Tian's heart hurt inexplicably, and he coughed a few times and spurted out a mouthful of blood, he knew that Ye Lan was forced to leave in order to protect himself.
Yelan is his brother in this place, and if he has the strength, he must find him and take revenge.
"The strength is still too low, I can't protect myself, I can't protect the people around me......" shook his head, he sighed in his heart.
With little blood, he was hit by another slap and was seriously injured, so he reluctantly sat cross-legged and vomited to heal his injuries.
"Moo......"
He opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath, then a wisp of white mist erupted from his nostrils, and a low roar came out of his Adam's apple.
With the breathing, a warm current slowly flows through the injured area, mending the injured internal organs little by little.
After spitting out for a few hours, and his injuries were healed, he gritted his silver teeth and shouted in his heart: "A gentleman will take revenge, it is not too late for ten years!
With a deep exhale, he picked up his scimitar and stood up, walking along the ancient path.
The city of Carlo, is a transportation hub, although the permanent population is not large, but there are many people who come and go, so every inn is overcrowded, but the inn of life and death is an exception.
In front of the inn of life and death hangs a skull spirit flag, the breeze blows, the skull on the flag seems to be grinning, even at noon when the sun is fierce, it feels eerie.
The inn has no gate, and on the stone wall of the entrance seems to be a master carving a couplet with his fingers.
Horizontal batch: the door of life and death
Shanglian is: born as a hero
The next link is: Death is also a ghost male
No one knows who the owner behind the inn is, and they don't know why it's called the Life and Death Inn, but everyone knows that the Life and Death Inn has people dying every day.
"Ahem......"
Coughing a few times, glancing at the spirit flag, and touching his nose, Chu Tian stepped in.
"Little brother, are you sure you want to stay in the Life and Death Inn?" The shopkeeper was a scrawny old man, frowning, and his fingers tapped on the table.
"No housing?" Chu Tian twitched the corners of his mouth, but his eyes looked at the shopkeeper calmly.
The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed lightly: "Yes, but everyone has to sign a contract of life and death, and this inn is not responsible for life and death......"
Nodding, Chu Tian drew a pledge on the contract without looking closely.
The inn of life and death is definitely not expensive, only one or two silver is needed for food and accommodation a day, but half of the property of the dead person belongs to the inn.
There were more than a dozen indifferent-looking people sitting in the tea room, and their weapons were placed in a convenient place on the table, so that they could kill or defend themselves at any time.
found a place by the window and sat down, put the scimitar on the right side of the table, and after a while, the shopkeeper sent the door number to Chu Tian, and put a pot of wine and a few side dishes on the table according to the standard.
glared at the yin and yang eyes, and swept over several people one by one, all of whom were over twenty years old, and five of them were old men.
To Chu Tian's surprise, Zhang Banxian was also among them, with a turtle shell and three copper coins on the table, he nodded at Chu Tian and shook his head.
He opened a booklet, picked up the pen but didn't write a word for a long time, and finally snapped the booklet shut, glanced at Chu Tian, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
"Ahem...... poured a glass of wine, causing several coughs and provoking a pair of indifferent eyes.
A middle-aged man with eyes as small as mung beans, but deliberately staring wide, stared at Chu Tian like a poisonous snake, and held back a few cold words from his mouth:
"Get out if you don't want to die!"
Zhang Banxian glanced at the speaker with pity, picked up the three copper coins on the table, put them in the turtle shell and shook them a few times, making a jingle sound.
"Ding Sha ......"
Pouring the coins onto the table, one of them spun around a few times before coming to a halt.
The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Banxian curiously, and asked with a little excitement, "What is the result?"
"A man came in standing, but went out lying down. Zhang Banxian said lightly.
The shopkeeper knocked lightly on the table and sighed: "Poor baby!"
Since there is a person lying down, there is no doubt that Chu Tian is because he is not very old and injured, and he has a sick face that seems to be lacking in blood and coughing.
Although there was a trace of unbearability in the depths of the indifferent eyes of the others, there was no sympathy, and when they entered the inn of life and death, they had to have the consciousness of death.
"Ahem...... Who hasn't died since ancient times? It's just that he didn't know it before he died. Ahem......"
Zhang Banxian shook his head and said: "Alas, there is no business coming to the door today, it is better for me to be a dealer to play, Lu Qian is the biggest, how much is ...... respect."
In the inn of life and death, there is a battle of life and death every day, so there are people who take the initiative to set up gambling every day, which is not strange, and the gambling method is also very simple, that is, who to buy, the odds are also fixed one to one, and the size of the bet is the same, the older one is the bigest, and vice versa.
"Okay, I'm going to get the interest back today. The shopkeeper took out a bag from under the counter and threw it to Zhang Banxian, "Big!"
After a while, the silver piled up on the big side, and the small one only had a few taels of silver, and even Lu Qian himself pressed all the silver on the big side.
This is normal, since it is a life-and-death battle, if you die, you will kick your legs and kill a hundred, but if you win, you can also get a fortune.
"Small!" Chu Tian also threw a bag to Zhang Banxian, and everyone's eyes glowed blue.
Zhang Banxian looked at everyone overwhelmed, his face was as pale as mourning, but his heart was happy, he had seen Chu Tian's lightning sword, so fast that he couldn't even catch the sword fourteen.
