Chapter 35: The Strange Inn?
Lin Yun hastily purchased some materials in the Snow City, all of them were stored in the storage stone that he suppressed the bracers, and he was busy two days before the expedition, of course, he couldn't avoid being in a hurry in the process, but fortunately, with Jian Er from the side, there was no big mess after all.
To Lin Yun's great disappointment, Mo Bing'er never showed up again in the past few days, and it was estimated that he would not see her for the last time before he set out for the expedition.
In this way, in the early morning of the day of the expedition, Lin Yun, the two brothers of the Liang family and the four "Bright and Bright", a group of seven people, took advantage of the morning light and gathered outside the Snow City early.
Several people rode on the snow-white unicorn and stood silently outside the city.
Lin Yun glanced at the city gate, his heart was very complicated, he still hoped to see Mo Bing'er again before leaving, the war was cruel, and it was very likely that he would never come back.
The sky was about to light up, Lin Yun looked up at the faint light that gradually penetrated the clouds, gritted his teeth, and slowly said: "Let's go......" After speaking, he pulled the reins and patted the unicorn's buttocks, and the unicorn hissed and ran out quickly.
The other six people hurriedly followed Lin Yun with the unicorn, followed closely behind Lin Yun, and as the figures of the seven disappeared at the end of the forest, on the tower of the city gate, the silver-robed girl walked out from behind the wooden pillar, stared at the direction where the seven people were going, and sighed slightly......
The monks are much stronger than normal people in all aspects, but it is impossible to travel endlessly, so most monks still choose unicorns when they go far away.
Unicorns are similar to horses, but they far outperform the latter in terms of endurance and speed.
Lin Yun took the six people to run wildly all day without eating, drinking or sleeping, even the best unicorns couldn't bear it, the unicorn under Lin Yun's crotch became slower and slower, and finally fell directly to the ground panting, and there was a faint white foam gushing out of his mouth.
The other six people all saw that Lin Yun had something on their mind, and they just followed the latter and quickly walked through the forest.
Lin Yun exhaled, no longer caring about the unicorn that had collapsed on the ground, and turned to Liang Yao and commanded, "Map." "Liang Yao is calm and wise, and Lin Yun has the intention to train him to become the brain of their team, so many important things are also discussed with Liang Yao.
Liang Yao took out a piece of tissue paper folded together from his arms, gently unfolded it, and then stroked it on his chest before handing it to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was silent for a while, and then commanded, "Thin monkey, judge our position." "The thin monkey is the thief among the four brothers and sisters, Xiao Ming.
The thin monkey took the map, and by the faint moonlight, he could barely see the handwriting on the map, and then stretched out his index finger and thumb, compared it on the map for a while, and hesitated: "Commander, judging from the terrain, we should have arrived in the forest a few miles away from Panlong Town, and we should be able to see Panlong Town after walking a few miles." ”
Lin Yun nodded, he didn't see Mo Bing'er before leaving, which made him a little unhappy, so he has been running wild until now, and now he regrets that he has exhausted everyone's mounts, and the speed of rushing in the next few days will be greatly reduced.
Liang Yao asked: "Commander, are we going to Panlong Town......
Lin Yun pondered for a while, now that everyone has no mounts, it is indeed time to rest in Panlong Town for one night, wait for dawn to buy mounts, and continue to chase the Ice Dragon Army, nodded at the moment and said: "Everyone will rest in Panlong Town tonight, and buy mounts tomorrow and then hurry." ”
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Yun abandoned the unicorn and led everyone to Panlong Town, the seven of them were all good at cultivation, and it didn't take long to rush to Panlong Town.
Panlong Town is located in the southeast of the Hailsnow Country, but there is still a considerable distance from the southeast country of the Hailsnow Country - Yanchi Country, because it is not close to the border, so Panlong Town is also a small town to live and work in peace and contentment, the people are simple, and the local residents are very hospitable.
The seven of them entered Panlong Town in the dark, and it was late at night, and the whole city was silent. Walking on the street, Lin Yun could only hear the footsteps of his own people.
Since you have to rest for the night, you naturally have to find an inn first. As for where the inn is, it's very simple, it's either a green building or an inn that keeps the lights on in the middle of the night.
The seven of them found the only inn in Panlong Town almost without much effort, the Yuelai Inn.
The thin monkey is naturally witty, looked at the plaque hanging high, and said with a smile: "The name of this inn is really not flattering." Everyone was relieved heavily, and the atmosphere suddenly did not have the previous oppression.
Lin Yun also smiled and nodded, indeed, the inn with the same name is not a hundred but eighty in the Hail Snow Country.
Liang Cheng didn't talk much for a day, and immediately grinned, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Seeing that the door of the Yuelai Inn was hidden, as if he was still waiting for business to come to the door, Liang Cheng took the lead, stretched out his hand to push open the door of the Yuelai Inn, and stepped into the threshold with a big stride.
At this time, only a candle was burning on the counter in the lobby of the inn, and it looked like it would be extinguished at any time, and the dim candlelight added a bit of weirdness to the entire inn, and the atmosphere instantly became oppressive again.
Lin Yun looked around and found that there didn't seem to be a night watchman or shopkeeper in the lobby, so he asked loudly, "Is there anyone?"
There was an eerie silence, and all seven people's bodies tensed up involuntarily, and this atmosphere was really not right.
Lin Yun coughed lightly and cleared his throat, his voice raised a few points, and asked again, "Are you here?" I don't know if it was a coincidence or someone deliberately arranged it, the candle on the counter suddenly went out in the "struggle".
At this time, he saw Lin Yun's growth, he secretly used his mana, and shouted to the other six people in a deep voice: "Prepare for battle." The other six people didn't have any particularly rich combat experience, and when they were at a loss, Lin Yun reminded them that they hurriedly raised their mana to prepare for the unknown battle.
Chirping...... Chirping...... Chirping...... It was like the sound of someone stepping on a wooden plank, and the sound gradually approached everyone from far to near.
The unknown threat is the most terrifying, listening to the sound like a bell urging life, even Lin Yun's heart has risen to his throat, and the voice has not yet stepped into the detection range of Lin Yun's primordial spirit, just when Lin Yun couldn't help but want to make a test of it, the direction from which the voice came suddenly lit up with a faint light.
Where everyone's eyes were focused, a rickety old man trembled and trembled, holding a small oil lamp in one hand and protecting the faint flame in the other, and slowly stepped down the wooden staircase.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Yun probed with the Yuan Shen, and found that the old man was an ordinary person, without any cultivation, and he was also relieved.
The old man approached the crowd, looked at them by the faint light of the oil lamp, and asked hoarsely, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to be sharpened or stay ......in the hotel?" Before he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth and coughed violently, and the oil lamp trembled with the cough, and almost went out.
Because of the importance of this mission, after thinking about it again, Lin Yun still didn't let everyone wear the unique armor of the Snow Eagle Guard, so the old man shouldn't have seen their identities, seeing that the old man couldn't stop coughing, Lin Yun stubbornly said: "Old man, please open a few upper rooms for us." ”
"Oh......" The old man slowly paced behind the counter, "I'll check ......," and the old man trembled and began to flip through what resembled an account book.
Just when everyone was a little impatient, the old man spoke, still in that hoarse voice: "I don't know how many rooms the guest officers will live in...... Ahem......"
At this time, Liang Yao quickly exchanged glances with Lin Yun, who understood and said, "Old man, we only need three rooms." "The seven of them are all monks, just find a place to make do with it, it's a big deal to practice for one night, and it will pass soon, so three rooms are completely enough.
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and fell into silence for a long time before he spoke: "How many guest officers...... I'm sorry, we do have three empty rooms in our shop, but these three rooms have been uninhabited for a long time......"
Among the seven people, Liang Cheng was the most anxious, and he said impatiently at the moment: "Don't talk nonsense, just open it." ”
The old man shook his head again and sighed, "The guest officer doesn't know anything...... These three rooms are inhabitable, and anyone who lives in these three rooms ...... All of them died without exception......"
When everyone heard this, their hairs stood up, but Lin Yun became suspicious and asked, "Then old man, is your business here okay?" Since there is this kind of haunted house in this inn, business will naturally not be too good, but the old man clearly means that all the rooms are full, and only these three haunted houses are left?
The old man sighed incessantly and said astringently, "Hey...... How can it be good, it's just that there is another war...... There are a lot of outsiders from the south...... That's why it's often full during this time...... After this time......" After speaking, the old man shook his head incessantly.
Lin Yun will be skeptical, although it is reasonable to say so, but he is a little suspicious and changeable by nature, he still feels that something is not right, maybe it is intuition.
"Old man, we lived. "Liang Cheng and Xiao Guang are both iron-clad men, and they are the least afraid of this kind of ghosts and gods, but Xiao Luo's face turned white with fright.
The old man didn't even say much, just trembled and gave Liang Cheng a few keys, and then slowly led everyone upstairs.
Since the old man had his back to everyone, most of the light from the oil lamp was also blocked by the old man's body, and the wooden staircase creaked and creaked, and the atmosphere was extremely terrifying.
Everyone was arranged to move in, Lin Yun and the two brothers of the Liang family lived in one room, Xiao Guang and Xiao Ming, who were physically cultivated, and Xiao Ming, who was a thin monkey, and Xiao Lei and Xiao Luo lived in one room.
The seven of them all rushed for a day, they were really a little tired, everyone was a monk, and they didn't think much about the ghosts, they just simply arranged a vigil, and then went to rest, but Lin Yun was still insisting on cultivating, and during this time his pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't afford not to be in a hurry to improve his strength.
Unexpectedly, after Lin Yun settled down for a while, a heart-rending scream woke him up: "Ahhh
