Chapter 1 The Quest for the Inn

Next Chapter

This year's snow is heavier than usual. The official road has long been deserted, and the city guards have announced that the city gate will be closed for three days. Outside the imperial city, Ou Delin, the owner of Gaofeng Inn, was wearing a white fox tail hat, a brown and gray leather jacket, a stove in his hand to keep warm, and a pair of slender phoenix eyes were staring closely at the window, he was waiting for someone.

A few days ago, a mysterious letter said that there would be a distinguished visitor in two days. But seven days passed, and when the snow covered the whole city, there was no human figure. The shopkeeper Ou was a little disappointed, he looked back at the sporadic few guests who had lived in the store for many days were quietly having breakfast in their own places, and there was no communication between them, so he shouted in his voice: "Camel, why is the living room so cold, add some charcoal, don't freeze a few guest officers."

The long-term worker who is called a camel is not actually a hunchback, he is a southerner, and the family calls the short and fat people as camels, or camels. The camel is a good hand at observing words and feelings, and coupled with the diligence of work, he can also be regarded as a steward among the guys.

He quickly filled a bamboo dustpan with charcoal to add enough charcoal to the stove in the living room.

The new charcoal crackled into the fire, mixed with a puff of green smoke wafted out, so smoked that the camel couldn't help coughing, he wiped the choked snot with his sleeve, and then wiped the snot stained sleeve back and forth on his thighs, and a snot mark was wiped out by him.

After adding charcoal, he mysteriously moved his short and fat body to the shopkeeper Ou, a pair of small eyes on his chubby face were squeezed into triangular eyes, the corners of his eyes glanced to the left, his mouth did not move, and he only squeezed out from between the upper and lower rows of white teeth: "Shopkeeper, the guest officer in white at the table on the left is a little strange."

"What's so weird," Shopkeeper Ou turned his head and glanced to the right with his spare eyes.

"The guest officer only eats meat. I don't eat vegetables, steamed buns or anything, I only eat meat, I only eat meat, don't you say it's strange" The camel kept emphasizing the three words "only eat meat", he always felt that something was wrong, that is, he couldn't say the reason.

The shopkeeper Ou carefully looked at the man in white, this person was dressed as a scholar, with a slender figure, a face like white jade, bright red lips, eyes hanging all the time, and the fingers holding chopsticks were slender and long, and his movements were extremely light when he clamped things.

"If I guess right, it's a woman," said the shopkeeper Ou, leaning into the camel's ear and whispering.

"In this way, she looks a little like a woman, but she speaks like a man," the camel still squeezed through his teeth.

Suddenly, the man in white looked over to this side, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, got up and went upstairs.

"Camel, you give me a good look, this person is indeed strange, her breath is by no means human" Ou shopkeeper knows martial arts, and his kung fu is excellent, the other party's breath can be detected even if he is separated by a distance, but he has been waiting for someone recently, completely ignoring that there is such a strange guest in the inn.

The camel asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, what is the breath of non-human."

"Demonic!" "Ou shopkeeper felt that the camel was a little verbose today.

"Ahh The old man in their hometown always described how terrible the demons and monsters were, so he was really frightened.

More than half of the day passed, and the snow showed no sign of stopping as evening approached.

The light of the inn gradually dimmed, and the camel beckoned Xiao Shen to help light the lamp. The oil lamp is lit to illuminate every corner, and the yellow light adds a bit of warmth.

Jiazi room. The door of the room where the man in white lived had been hidden, and the camel had opened his eyes wide to look in, and he wanted to push the door in to find out, but when he remembered what the shopkeeper Ou said, he softened.

The camel went downstairs to see the Ou shopkeeper sitting in the corner of the hall drinking soju, and his eyes lit up, and he secretly stepped forward to report the situation he had just peeked into, and did not forget to add oil and vinegar to describe the room as a haunted house.

The shopkeeper Ou let out a thoughtful "oh", paused for a moment and leaned into the camel's ear and whispered: "You sneak into the room at night to find out the information of that person for me, and it is best to find out the origin of the other party for me."

He doubted that the guest mentioned in the letter would be this one.

The camel screamed, saying that he didn't want to go, he didn't want to go to the room of the person who was not "popular" to find any information.

"Camel, Uncle Lou has returned to his hometown, the position of the chief steward has been vacant, you are a smart person, don't let me explain what to do" Ou shopkeeper also understands people, he can see through the camel's mind at a glance, so he can pick the weakness of the camel at any time, and he will be spiritual.

"Okay, boss, you have to count what you say," the camel agreed, and he ate it.

At night, the inn was silent in the darkness.

A dark figure squirmed on the floor of the corridor on the second floor, and he was careful not to make a sound.

The black shadow crawled to the door of the Jiazi room, and at this moment the door was closed tightly, and he stood up and took out a dagger to get the latch inside through the crack in the door, but fortunately it was not difficult to open, and he left the trough with two casual latches. The black shadow secretly pushed the door, and as soon as he stepped into one foot, he was pulled into the room by a strong suction, and he only felt a shadow swaying in front of him, and he lost consciousness and fell to the ground with an "ouch" sound.

The slight noise on the second floor alarmed the alert shopkeeper Ou, and he subconsciously came out to check.

The innkeeper's room was on the first floor, and the shopkeeper Ou came out of the room and looked upstairs, the door of the Jiazi room was wide open, and there was a faint light inside, and he remembered to let the camel go to find out what was going on, and his intuition might be wrong.

The camel doesn't know martial arts, so asking him to find out is really inconsiderate.

When he stepped up the stairs, Ou's palm was slightly stubborn, and he was afraid that he would be caught off guard by an emergency.

"I didn't expect the shopkeeper Ou to go out in person" There was a figure leaning on the side of the open door, and the facial features could not be seen clearly on the white face.

"Who are you sacred?"

"Traitor of the Holy Mountain, Odlin, the person you have been waiting for for a few days will not come, because I have already slaughtered him halfway" The other party's tone was full of contempt.

Shopkeeper Ou cautiously took a few steps forward, and from a closer distance, he could see that the other party was the man in white that the camel said during the day.

"You still want to turn the sky upside down?" Ou shopkeeper once traveled south and north on the rivers and lakes, and his knowledge was extraordinary. As soon as I saw the other party's breath*, I knew that I didn't have an Adam's apple, but I could change my voice and pretend to be a man, and I knew that it was not a human in front of me.

The man in white said impatiently: "I wanted to leave after looking for something, but since you found me in person, then don't talk nonsense and hand over the things quickly."

"What's that?"

Before the words fell, the shopkeeper Ou took advantage of his unpreparedness to push his palms forward, and a powerful blow was concentrated on the chest of the man in white, and the man in white couldn't dodge, so he was hit by a palm, took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground with unsteady steps. Without waiting for the other party to slow down, he turned his hand and struck four palms in a row, like a big wave crashing on the shore, the speed is so fast, the lethality is great, it can be seen that the internal force is quite mellow.

There was a few "clicks", and all the surrounding furniture was shattered by the palm qi. These slaps hit people, but I am afraid that the internal organs will be shocked into meat sauce.

The man in white stood in the center of the room with his left hand over his chest, his head buried low, unable to see his expression.

The shopkeeper Ou knew his strength, and he was also amazed that the other party had not fallen in the palm of his hand, which could be regarded as hardness. He smiled contemptuously, and was about to deliver the final blow, when suddenly the hunch jumped out of nowhere.

At this moment, the camel's face turned blue, its black pupils turned blood-red, and the position of its mouth turned into a round hollow, and a "whine" sound came out of the hole.

The shopkeeper Ou was shocked and whispered: "Camel."

The camel who had lost his mind was completely unresponsive, and he could no longer hear others.

The camel stared at the shopkeeper, and his hollow mouth kept making strange noises, like a wild beast demonstrating. Ou's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he had to think about his next move.

One doesn't know whether to live or die, one concentrates, and the other is demonic. The three of them stood in the A-shaped guest room of the Gaofeng Inn, and the shopkeeper Ou got rid of the white clothes in order to preemptively get rid of the white clothes, and instantly exerted his internal strength to the extreme.

Suddenly, the camel's mouth opened wider and wider, and in an instant it was the size of a human head, and there was a fishy smell from the black hole, and then a powerful suction force came out from the black hole.

Ou shopkeeper will luck to his legs, his feet stomp out of two pits, and after fixing, he will turn his palm to gather qi, and use a move "Night Wind Chop", straight to the opponent, this is a lore, not the Holy Mountain Sect Kung Fu.

The demonized camel was slapped in the face, only to hear a muffled sound of "pop", and the flesh and blood were splashed and broken into pieces.

"Tsk, Ou Delin, I didn't expect you to be so good at kung fu, it's really underestimated" The man in white, who had been stiff and stiff, raised his head and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I'll send you on your way!" said the shopkeeper turned blue.

The man in white straightened up, patted his sleeve, and continued to smile, "You better tell me where to put that thing, maybe I'll spare your life."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Mr. Ou continued to ask, "who are you? Who sent you?"

"Haha, I said Ou Delin, your last words before you died were this!? Who am I, don't you see it, I'm a demon, not a human"

The man in white changed to a woman's voice, and his tone was soft, like a singer singing Fengyue easily, if it weren't for the murderous intent in his words, it would really be refreshing.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you have a 'pitu'?"

"Nope!"

"That's right, I searched in the inn for a few days and didn't find any pictures, in this case, it's useless for you to live, so I'll send you to the underground to meet the person you are waiting for" The eyes of the man in white turned into the blood color of a camel, staring at the eyes of the shopkeeper Ou, the other party's body began to stiffen, and a chill spread all over his body.

Demon kills people in a variety of strange ways, some demon beasts launch "killing" prey, some can make the other party think and commit suicide, some bodies can be transformed into weapons to attack, and some pounce on bloodthirsty bites.

In addition to these common ones, there are many more categories, which are varied. But the key point is: demons, based on demonic energy, demonic qi is strong, and demonic spirit can be demonic for thousands of years. If you want to cultivate into an immortal, you must suppress the demon qi, this is a grinding process, many thousands of years of demon qi is too heavy and lack the will to hone and finally give up the idea of becoming an immortal, even so, those thousands of years of demons will not easily appear in the world, so as not to be too heavy and be discovered by the demon hunter and cause unnecessary trouble.

The demon cultivation in front of her is by no means ordinary, she can control the human mind with a little spell, and she doesn't make any effort, just raise her finger lightly and put it on the center of the other party's eyebrows, and the shopkeeper Ou will die directly.

After solving the Ou shopkeeper, the man in white walked downstairs across the corpse, opened the door of the inn and left. The snow outside had stopped, and the white-clothed brocade had completely disappeared into the snow.
