Chapter 59: A Late Night Visitor
"Coming here to exorcise evil spirits?"
Xu Yu was stunned, and looked through the window at the drowsy and drizzling streets outside.
This Ji'an town does seem to be a bit evil, a small town, but the population is very sparse, and many houses have obviously been uninhabited for a long time.
As soon as Xu Yu stepped into this town, he noticed it.
At this time, when he heard the shopkeeper say that he was going to exorcise evil spirits, he immediately moved in his heart.
"Childe isn't from the territory, right?" The shopkeeper sighed and said.
Ji'an Town is adjacent to the land of Nanmang, not within the territory, that is, it comes from the land of Nanmang.
Xu Yu didn't respond, but looked at him and waited for the next words.
Dian Xiaoer continued: "This situation in Ji'an Town has been going on for several years. At first, it was fine, but then there were often inexplicable deaths in the town, and over time, many people ran out and left Ji'an Town......"
"Later, the government did not find out the cases of death for a long time, and the immortals on the mountain noticed that there were often immortals who came here to exorcise evil spirits in the past, but the effect was not good, and there were even immortals who had accidents in Ji'an Town, and then slowly there were fewer and fewer people......"
Long.
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside with a sad face.
Xu Yu thought for a while.
After listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Xu Yu suddenly felt that this Ji'an town was not simple.
If it's just a demonic act, many strong people in the cultivation world come here, and it should be able to solve it.
However, the shopkeeper said that there were still people who had accidents here, and very few people from the cultivation world who were making trouble behind them came here.
Could it be a ferocious level demon, or a demon above the fierce level?
If so, then the powerhouses of the Dayu Dynasty will sit idly by?
"Childe, you settle down here to adjust and rest for a while, and then leave, so as not to regret it if something happens."
It was getting darker, and soon there was no light outside.
The shopkeeper got up and prepared to close.
"Oh?" Xu Yu was a little puzzled and asked, "What about you, why don't you leave, aren't you afraid of accidents?" ”
When he came, Xu Yu noticed that in addition to this small inn, there were still a few people in the town who did not leave.
Even in the evening, there is cooking smoke, which has a bit of life.
"We people are tough enough, we haven't had an accident for so many years, and there are always people who are not afraid of death. There are also some people who are reluctant to leave because of the old land. The shopkeeper said.
With that, he closed the door.
Wow -
As soon as the door closed, a hand reached in, and the shopkeeper was frightened.
"Shop, do you still have a room?" An old voice rang out.
When the shopkeeper opened the door, he saw an old man wearing a robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a girl obediently following behind the old man.
It seems that I have been on the road for a long time, and I have no choice but to stay here.
After all, it's still raining outside.
"Ouch, the hero scared me a lot." The shopkeeper exaggerated, and as he spoke, he introduced an old man and a young man into the inn.
"The room is gone, but the hero can settle down in the inn, I don't know what to do?" The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, many cultivators have come here over the years, so he has also developed a pair of discerning eyes.
Looking at the old and young dressed, I think it should be a cultivator, that is, an immortal on the mountain.
So even if you don't have a room, it's okay if you don't sleep, as long as you have a place to stay and shelter from the rain.
"Hey, that's going to be a problem for the store."
Hearing that there was no room, the old man sighed helplessly, and then arched his hand towards the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper immediately welcomed the two into the inn, arranged to sit not far from Xu Yu, and then prepared a pot of hot tea and a pot of hot wine.
In the twilight rain, the ticking sound sounded outside the inn, and the inn was quiet, and only the breathing of a few people could be heard.
Xu met that an outsider came in, so he didn't have the idea of inquiring about the news with the shopkeeper.
At this time, he was thinking, what was strange about this Ji'an Town.
From the shopkeeper's mouth, I learned that even the cultivators had an accident here, presumably this Ji'an town is not simple.
In addition, the number of monks who have come here recently has suddenly increased......
"Master, is that where my brother disappeared?"
Just as Xu Yu was thinking, a young female voice sounded, which was made by the little girl who followed the old man into the inn next door.
The old man smiled and poured the little girl a cup of hot tea, "Hmm...... We're going to stay here for a few days and then we'll go to Great Xia. ”
"Okay, after we find our senior brother, we will go to the Great Xia Academy together." The little girl nodded.
"Uncle, did you go to Great Xia to participate in the academy selection?"
The conversation between the two seemed to alarm the people living on the second floor, and a young man came downstairs from the second floor and asked.
The old man looked at the approaching young man and said:
"Exactly. The triennial enrollment of the Great Xia Academy is known to people from all countries, and it is your Excellency'......"
"Hmm. I passed by here, and I heard that this place was strange, so I stayed. Later, I will also go to Great Xia......" The young man also nodded slightly.
"You ...... Did they all come to Ji'an Town to exorcise evil spirits? The shopkeeper, who was counting the account books on the stage, heard the conversation of several people and interjected.
"Definitely. I'm here just curious. The Taoist friends in the East Chamber are here to exorcise evil spirits. The young man said, looking to a room at the end of the second floor.
The shopkeeper's heart moved, and the person living in the east wing room was a person in a Taoist robe, although he didn't look very old, but he also had a slightly superior demeanor.
"Please also ask all the heroes to take action and find out the murder." The shopkeeper frowned deeply, his face full of bitterness.
In the past, although Ji'an Town was remote, there were many locals, but after those incidents, there were not many people in the whole town.
Those who are unwilling to leave the country and stay behind live in fear every day, and their lives are difficult to support.
If the murder case is investigated, I believe that many people will return to Ji'an Town, and this town can also regain its vitality and restore the atmosphere of fireworks.
"Senior brother also disappeared here last year, and we came here to find senior brother and find out the murder." The little girl shouted, not afraid of life, and looked at the approaching young man, as well as the shopkeeper.
As soon as these words came out, the young man and the shopkeeper chuckled.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and so many people from the cultivation world came here before, but they didn't find out.
There are even people who have an accident here, what can she do as a little girl.
"Shopkeeper, you have lived here for a long time, can you tell me the specific details?" Xu Yu also became interested and looked at the shopkeeper.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
The shopkeeper stopped what he was doing, came to a few people and sat down, frowning:
"If you want to talk about specific details, there are really them, and it doesn't hurt to tell you about them!"
Seeing that everyone was gathered, the shopkeeper began to talk eloquently, and everyone wondered from time to time.
The shopkeeper also explained to them one by one.
