This is an inn, not big, but also very simple, the business inside is quite passable, there are three or four tables of guests eating in the inn. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Guest officer, please inside, I don't know if you are sharpening or staying in the hotel?" A shopkeeper walked briskly, greeted him, bowed slightly, and asked the short-haired young man who walked into the door.

"Open me a good room, and then give me a table of good wine and meat, remember, only meat, no vegetables. The wrist of the young man's left hand moved slightly, and a gold ingot was thrown out, and it fell into the hands of the shopkeeper without any mistakes.

The young man kept at his feet, looked around the living room, walked straight to a table in the corner, and sat down silently.

"Why are you stunned, don't hurry up and prepare the wine and meat, don't make the guests wait for a long time. Just as the man was still stunned as he looked at the egg-sized gold ingot in his hand, the shopkeeper had already turned out from behind the counter and snatched the gold ingot from the man's hand.

"Yes, yes...... I'm going to tell the kitchen to get ready. Xiao Er was pulled back to his senses by the shopkeeper's urging, hurriedly said yes, and walked towards the back kitchen, while his eyes were still reluctantly looking at the gold ingot in the shopkeeper.

"Such a large piece of gold ingot, it must be worth my salary for several years. Xiao Er hurriedly walked to the back kitchen of the inn, but he sighed in his heart.

"This is the first time this boy has come to our Yangting Town, right?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile on his face, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and walked to the table in the corner where the young man was.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man, his body is slightly fat, he is quite tall, his eyes occasionally flash a hint of shrewdness, and his smile makes people feel very easy to approach.

"The shopkeeper sits down and talks, how do you know that this is the first time I've been here?" the young man pulled the chair next to him slightly, and motioned for the shopkeeper to sit down and speak.

"Childe doesn't know, our Yangting Town is just a remote town, and there are only two or three inns in the town. And our Fengting Inn is definitely the best inn in the town, as long as the travelers from the south to the north are not short of money, they all come to my inn to live, I see that the son is generous, and the face is born, so let's guess. The shopkeeper sat down, put the wine jar on the table, and talked eloquently, with a smug look in his eyebrows as he spoke, perhaps proud of his inn, perhaps proud of his eyesight, or proud of his guess, but what does this have to do with the young man?

The young man smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The shopkeeper is really good eyesight. ”

"That's, how can someone who does our business not have a little eyesight? By the way, I don't know what to call the son?" At first, the shopkeeper just watched the young man make a generous move, and came over to say a few words of greeting, expressing the enthusiasm of the inn. However, at this time, I think it is a good way to pass the time by talking to the teenager, after all, there are no guests who need to greet themselves now.

"My surname is Chu, Chu Yunfan. The young man still smiled slightly, very approachable, "By the way, shopkeeper, there is one thing I am curious about, I walked all the way, how did I see many people in the town, their eyes are blank, and their spirits are in a trance." ”

After Chu Yunfan left Changyuan City, he hurried all the way and headed in the direction of Liyang City.

"Shhh The shopkeeper's expression suddenly became a little nervous and a little frightened, as if he was afraid of something.

"Hey, Childe is a foreigner, and it's nothing to say to Childe, but Childe must not go out and talk nonsense, otherwise he will lose his life. The shopkeeper calmed down a little, his eyes swept in the guest hall, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this, he lowered his voice and said.

"Why, what is hidden in this? Don't worry, the shopkeeper just say it, I have the right to listen to it, I won't spread it randomly, I still want to live well." Chu Yunfan just asked casually, after all, it was inevitable that he was a little curious when he met so many people on the way in the town, and at this time, the shopkeeper's words made him interested.

"Well, what do you say, this has been happening since six years ago. Although I don't know very well, I heard that six years ago, Tian Dafu, the richest man in our Yangting Town, secretly instigated many people to join a religion and make them believe in something else, saying that it would lead them to eternal life or something......" The shopkeeper whispered, his tone full of jealousy.

"Does anyone believe this?" Chu Yunfan was a little surprised, the pinnacle of martial arts and immortality are the lifelong pursuit of all martial artists, but no one can achieve immortality. Even those martial artists who stand at the pinnacle of the Kyushu continent, just a few more years to live, will eventually return to dust and dust.

"Why not, countrymen have never seen the world, and it is easy to be blinded. Moreover, this Tian Dafu claimed that all believers were equal, and that those who joined the mystical religion would come out to help them whenever someone was bullied, which made many poor people happily join in. And many wealthy people have joined in as a last resort in order not to be the target of these people's attacks. ”

"The shopkeeper has also joined?" Chu Yunfan squinted at the shopkeeper.

"Childe laughed, I didn't join. I heard that after many people join, they will slowly become in a trance, and then die inexplicably, and I don't know how many people have died in the past five or six years. ”

"And what is the name of this mysterious religion?"

"I don't know about this, I don't want to have anything to do with them, so I don't dare to ask about these things, and I still overheard the diners occasionally mention these things. ”

The atmosphere became a little silent, and after a short silence, the shopkeeper said, "Childe, you'd better stay in your room at night and don't go out." ”

"Oh...... Why is this?" Chu Yunfan looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously.

"Don't ask, just stay in your room at night and don't go out. The shopkeeper may feel that he has talked too much today, and he is afraid of causing trouble for himself, so he does not dare to continue.

"Here comes the dish!" The shopkeeper came to Chu Yunfan with a few plates of beef, as well as some side dishes and peanuts with wine.

"Childe, you use it slowly, I'll be busy first. The shopkeeper confessed, left his position, and went back to the counter and sat down.

He didn't see it, just when he turned around, Chu Yunfan's face became very solemn, and he said something silently: "Why does it look like a cult is doing something, it seems that you have to stay and find out." ”

"But for now, let's eat and drink enough. Chu Yunfan smiled slightly, temporarily threw away those annoying things, pulled out the wine stopper, poured it into the bowl, and ate and drank in a big gulp.

I don't know when Chu Yunfan actually began to like the thing of wine, but it was only after leaving the sect that he regretted not buying some good wine from the Haizhen Building in the sect and storing it in the Spirit Void Ring, and the wine in the ordinary inn outside was very rough.

The night was frighteningly quiet. The sky is dark and deep. Only a round of silver hooks hung alone in the black night, swaying a faint glow that shrouded this remote town.

In the room, Chu Yunfan was not asleep, and the shopkeeper during the day made him feel that there must be something wrong here. The shopkeeper must have known something, but he didn't dare to say. Since this is the case, Chu Yunfan decided to find out by himself.

In the dim night, there are no people in the town who are even on the watch, which seems a little abnormal.

Suddenly, as if an appointment had been made, many people from all over the town opened their doors and walked out. They walked without pause, as if it had been a route that had been taken an unknown number of times.

These people set off from different places, along different streets, and walked slowly, but their destination was the same place, the mansion of Tian Dafu, the richest man in Yangting Town.

At the back door of Tian Dafu's mansion, two small wooden doors were open, and a group of mermaids entered through a corridor and into a remote wing.

The men never noticed, and a figure followed them closely, watching them.

Chu Yunfan stuck to the corner of the eaves, looking at the people who entered the wing, his brows furrowed slightly.

"There's a darkroom in there. Chu Yunfan thought subconsciously, because he clearly saw that after everyone walked into the wing, the candlelight reflected it, but there was not even a shadow, as if the people who entered it were swallowed up.

Chu Yunfan felt that he had to go in and take a look, although it might seem a little dangerous if he didn't know what was inside, but if he didn't enter the tiger's den, how could he gain something?

He spread his senses, seeping through the curtains and sweeping through the room, not finding a single figure.

Chu Yunfan fell from the corner of the eaves, pushed open the door and walked in, and then closed the door with his backhand.

"It's so blatant that it doesn't even hide the entrance. Chu Yunfan looked at the dark hole in the middle of the floor that had not been closed after being opened, and a wry smile appeared in his heart.

"Maybe they've been too smooth, thinking that this place is under their control, and they've become lazy, and they don't even bother to hide it. Chu Yunfan guessed in his heart.

It was indeed guessed by Chu Yunfan, Tian Dafu was cautious at first, he didn't dare to make any noise, and even the disciples were very cautious. But the smooth sailing of the past six years has also discarded his initial cautiousness.

Looking down the dark opening, a stone staircase leads straight down, leading to an unknown place.
