The four of them walked towards the Netherworld, fighting and making trouble along the way, and the mud doll and the three of them quickly got acquainted! Because Eleven was a little idle and deep, and Jin Jiu was a little dull, the mud doll and Miao were the best among the three. On weekdays, Miao often takes advantage of Jin Jiu and Eleven's absence to ask the mud doll to perform the body fixation method, make fun of others or mix some food. When encountering unreasonable people, if Miao was hiding from the side to watch the excitement in the past, now he is more active than anyone else, as long as the mud doll casts a spell, he runs forward and repairs the mud doll.

The four of them traveled all the way west, and one day they came to a city gate, which looked tall and magnificent, but it was in disrepair and dilapidated! Many weeds grew on the gate, and the walls were uneven.

Walking into the city, there were few people in the wide streets, and even if there were occasional ones, they were all listless, old and infirm. The cold wind squeaked through the dilapidated windows, adding a bit of sadness to this bleak dry city. The four of them casually walked into a three-story wooden building, but they saw that there was still unpeeling paint on the beams in this room, although the color was no longer gorgeous, but they could still vaguely see the beauty of the carved beams and columns in the old days.

Eleven called a few times and asked if anyone was coming. The clay doll has the ability to be a prophet, so it says that it is an empty house. The four of them went out, it was getting late, and their stomachs were growling. Because two days have passed since I came from the previous town, there are no villages on the way, and it is strange that there is a lot of wind and sand in this area, and there are very few birds and animals. I finally passed by this city, and although the houses were tall and extremely magnificent, they were as dilapidated as a ghost town, and there were few people. It was dark and there was no light, and although there were few people, the four of them tried to find an inn or something, and eat something. As the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and it is good to find a place to sleep outside, but it is very difficult to eat without food.

This city is very big but very empty, although the mud doll has the ability of a prophet, but still turn left and right to look for the west, only to come to a wooden building with only half a plaque on the word "inn".

A gray-haired and wrinkled old man, with a pipe in his mouth, sat at the door of the inn and squinted at the four people, and the four monsters with their heads and bodies. It was already dark, and there was no light in the room. The old man wiped his eyes in shock, but he was not surprised by the four-headed beast or could not see clearly. It's that there have been no guests in this inn for a long time, and it's rare to come to four!

"May I ask if this is an inn, who is the shop?" Eleven asked.

"Isn't there the word inn? Of course it's an inn, and I'm the only one who counts as a chef. The old man replied with a smile as he smoked his cigarette.

"Why doesn't your huge inn have a louder name?" Miao asked strangely.

"What's the name? There's just such an inn in the city, and there's no other store, so what's the name?" said the old man.

"The four of us are staying in the hotel, do we have anything to eat?" Eleven asked.

"Yes, since I'm an inn, how can I not eat!" The old man stood up, patted the dust on his body, and looked at the four of them again. Except for Eleven, who was a little normal, everyone else was a little different.

"What do you see, haven't you seen it?" Lu Tou saw that the old man looked at it a few more times, and thought that the old man had never seen the world, so he said so.

"Oh, I can talk!" the old man smiled, but there was no surprise on his face, and then said: "Don't look at my old age and uselessness, but I have seen a lot in the world, four heads, and six heads!

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the inn, and after a while he lit the oil lamp on the table, which was about to run out, and the faint light was even more insignificant in this huge room. The old man said, "Find a place to sit down by yourself, and I'll get you some food?" After saying that, the old man was drowned in the darkness and did not know where to go.

"What's the difference between this and not lighting up?" Miao looked around and said, then took out a few night pearls from the package and put them on the table, and the room lit up a lot in an instant.

I saw that the seats in this inn were scattered and dusty. It's like no one has cleaned it in a long time.

The three of them blew the ash layer on the stool, and Miao also dragged the tails of the four beasts and wiped them before sitting down, and the four beasts under the mud doll seat began to cry: "Oops, it's so dirty, you bully us again!"

I saw that the mud doll couldn't help sighing, her face was full of embarrassment, frowning, and muttering.

Seeing his expression, Miao asked, "What's wrong? Is this a black shop?"

As soon as he heard the word "black shop", with a snap, Jin Jiu slammed the table and stood up, shouting loudly: "I have long seen that something is wrong!" Due to the excessive force of slapping the table, he snorted down with one palm, raising the dust that had accumulated on the table for a long time, covering the dust on the faces of Eleven and Miao.

"Jin Jiu, can you lighten it! An old man, no matter how dark it is, where can it be black?" Miao said with a blink of eyes and a frown.

The mud doll couldn't help but laugh when she saw Miao and Eleven's embarrassed looks, and the four beasts also laughed with their master. Miao has always paid great attention to appearance, so the situation is very embarrassing, is about to stand up to find the shop to learn some water to wash, the old man walked back with a flower porcelain plate in his hand, saw that the room is very bright, Daxi said: "It's been a long time since the night has been so bright!" looked at Miao who stood up, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Miao held his mouth and pointed to his face, and when the old man saw it, he handed him the cloth on his shoulder and said, "Just wipe it!"

The three of them saw that the porcelain plate was very beautiful, and their hearts must be delicious dim sum, but when they looked at it, the dough in this plate was darker than the face of the mud doll. Several people are used to eating good things, where can they swallow these. Seeing this, the old man smiled and said, "There are only these things, you can eat them, and if you don't eat them, you won't have to eat!"

The four of them looked at each other, and the mud doll took a cake to the four beasts, only to see the four heads leaning up to the roof, as if they didn't see it.

After a while, outside the door, some old people came one after another, and an old man in green cloth and rags walked in and said: "Scholar? Where is this guest? This night pearl is really bright enough."

It turns out that in this city at night, the door is closed and the lights are turned off, and few people light the lights, and the pearl is too bright tonight, and everyone feels strange when they see it, so they come to see it. Everyone asked about the origin of the four people, and Eleven said that the four of them came from Tianshui City, but they were ordered by the family teacher to travel everywhere, and with a long experience, they told the situation along the way. There is no mention of how Qian Shifeng and the three of them met, only that it is a brother-in-law relationship. First, he was deceived by Nan Renshui that day, and he was also wary of people in his heart, and secondly, even if he said those things, everyone couldn't believe it.

The four of them were also very strange about what they saw in the city, and the innkeeper and the cook, who was also the master of the other people's mouths, told some of the past events in the city.

This city has good feng shui, it was originally a village, and most of the villagers here are industrious and simple. Every few years, there are some disasters, so there are not many people living there. Suddenly settled down more than sixty years ago. Someone went to reclaim the wasteland on the west mountain, and accidentally discovered the gold mine, and the news soon spread, so the number of gold diggers here also increased one after another, and the mountain was split. The village began to flourish, and construction was carried out, and large areas of trees were cut down to make way for high-rise buildings. Some of the clever people became rich. However, the original hard-working villagers and some of the later gold diggers did not get better. On the contrary, the richer the richer, the poorer the poorer. As the city prospered, there were naturally more people of all kinds. A group of wealthy people and some powerful people saw that they had thousands of dollars in their pockets, that they could not spend enough gold, but their lifespan was limited, so they became obsessed with the art of cultivating Dan. It made the city smoky. The river water in the south of the city was also made smelly by the residue of alchemy. Due to the continuous excavation, the divine beasts of the West Mountain were angered, and they began to take revenge! Some cultivators were invited to block it for a while. But in the end, they couldn't support it, so the rich and powerful took the gold and ran away with their families, and went to live a good life elsewhere. The young and strong who had the ability to earn a living fled to other lands, leaving only some of the old, sick, and poor, and those who could not survive elsewhere. The once-prosperous city gang suddenly declined, like a ghost town.

"Where is the strange beast now, everyone, I'll help you get rid of him!" Jin Jiu heard that the strange beast was harmful, and he was impassioned, chivalrous and courageous, and vowed to kill the monster.

"What's so strange about this, a beast?" the scholar asked.

"He killed a lot of people, why shouldn't he be killed?" Jin Jiu said.

The scholar paused for a moment and thought for a while and said: "We are all right to blame for harming so many people, for the sake of money and wealth, we have destroyed their habitat and killed the beasts of the West Mountain, shouldn't people be punished? Human life is life, isn't it the life of beasts? People have a grudge against this strange beast, so they want to kill it! The earthquake and flood, who should people kill to retaliate? After all, it is still human **, only look at the immediate interests. Though the rich and powerful are evildoers, it is the poor who suffer. They have destroyed this place, patted their ass and gone elsewhere, and lived like this, just as comfortably, while the poor depend on it, and their ancestors have lived here for generations! If you want to punish those people, it is a thousand times more hateful than this strange beast than this earthquake and flood!"

Hearing this, Jin Jiu fell silent! Eleven took a deep breath, looked at the scholar, and lowered his head to think! Miao asked the others about the matter of the divine beast.

It was very late, and the four of them were very hungry, and when they saw the hospitality of the university scholars in the porcelain plate, they also ate it, although it was not a taste, but they were very grateful in their hearts. I found a few rooms to sleep in at night.

The next day, when no one in the city woke up very early, the four of them cleaned up and got up and left. The four of them discussed and did not repay anything, so they let Miao keep the Night Pearl. Out of the city, head northwest.

Passing by the West Mountain that the old man talked about, sure enough, there was no grass or tree in the rubble, and it was extremely desolate! After walking for a long time, you can occasionally hear the roar of strange beasts. The four of them didn't pay attention to it, and walked cautiously.
