Chapter 117: The Purple-Clad Guest
The two young men were very excited after listening to the diners, and when their dishes came up, they ate some hastily and left, it seemed that they were going to Zhou Li's house, Zhang Tude did not stop them, since they knew the origin of the six human bones in the house, there was nothing left in the house except these bones.
After the young man left, Zhang Tude quickly finished eating, and when he entered the city, it was already afternoon, and it had taken a lot of time to go to Zhou Li's house to find the magic weapon, and now after eating another meal, the sky outside gradually became darker.
The other diners in the inn left one after another, and Zhang Tude noticed that the diners here were all in groups except himself, which was probably the reason why there was a murderous murderer in the city.
Zhang Tude asked the shopkeeper for a room, and then he took the pill upstairs, and when he came to his room, he took out the book about the robe of transformation and looked through it again, he decided to wear the robe in the next few days, but before that he understood it clearly, so as not to miss anything.
"Am I mistaken? Or do the words really move? ”
The previous introduction to the origin and use of the robe of transformation is the same as what Zhang Tude saw before, there is no change, but after that, the strange characters that need to be written all over the user's body are a little different.
Zhang Tude couldn't understand those strange words, and the book didn't say what kind of words they were or what they meant, just said that they should be written on their bodies as they were in the book.
In order to verify whether he remembered wrongly, he first wrote down the previous part of the text, and then closed the book, which took about ten minutes before opening it.
After opening the book again, Zhang Tude found that the words had indeed undergone some changes, such as the words that were originally horizontal, but now they were upright, and some words were blacked out by something.
It seems that the words on the book do change, I don't know if it is because of the book or the words themselves can change, but the book can be put in the gourd, at least it means that the book and those words are not living things.
"Woohoo."
Just as Zhang Tude was reading those strange words, the cry of the pill brought him back to his senses, and he put down the book in his hand, but only felt his head dizzy.
"How long have I been reading this book?"
Zhang Tude touched his head and first looked at the pill rubbing his trouser legs, and then looked out the window, and found that it was completely dark outside, and he had gotten along with the pill so much, and he knew that the way it looked meant that it was hungry.
Although the pill has become very smart, the amount of food is also much larger, but Zhang Tude only fed it when he was eating, and it will be at least several hours before he is hungry, combined with the sky outside, it shows that Zhang Tude has been reading the book for a long time unconsciously.
"Let's go, go downstairs to see if there's any supper, and ask the time by the way."
After Zhang Tude put away the book and then took it to the lobby, Zhang Tude found that there was only one guest left in the inn, and the guest's dress had to make Zhang Tude look at him a few more times.
I saw that the guest looked white, like a scholar, and he was wearing a kind of purple clothes, embroidered with several kinds of strange beasts, this dress seemed to be very exquisitely made, and it was worn by the rich and noble, but this dress was covered with mud, as if rolling on the mud.
There was only a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts on his table, he first took a sip of wine, and then laboriously picked up a peanut with his left hand and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, as if he was reminiscing about some kind of food, Zhang Tude found that his right sleeve was empty.
At this time, a shopkeeper stepped forward and said to the purple-clothed guest:
"Master Xu, you see it's not early this day, and it's not peaceful in this city recently, why don't you go back, we're closing."
"Let me drink a little longer, I'm just getting started, it's a big deal to let me find a table with you to lie down for the night." The purple guest also looked a little drunk, but he could still talk to the shopkeeper well.
"But you've been sitting here for more than an hour." The shopkeeper said with a sad face:
"And our shopkeeper said that if you don't pay back the wine money, you won't let you spend the night here, let us throw you out, and you won't make it difficult for me."
"Okay, let me stay a little longer, and I'll go." The purple guest agreed to the shopkeeper's request and began to speed up the drinking.
"Have I been in the room for so long?"
Zhang Tude didn't continue to listen to the conversation between the shopkeeper and the purple-clothed man, he only heard what the shopkeeper said for more than an hour and pondered, the purple-clothed guest must have come after he went upstairs, which means that he had been in the room for more than an hour.
"I only feel like I've been flipping through the book for a while, and it seems that the text is really weird."
After thinking about this, Zhang Tude looked around again, and found that the purple-clothed guest was also leaving, so he took out some loose silver and walked to the shopkeeper who cleaned up the table:
"I'm a little hungry, can you get me something to eat, if you can, I'll give you all this silver."
The shopkeeper recognized Zhang Tude as a guest staying in the hotel, and saw the silver in his hand, and hurriedly said:
"I can ask the cook to serve you a bowl of noodles with some eggs and meat in it, can you?"
"It's fine, but are there any leftovers? My dog is hungry too, so just get him some meaty stuff. ”
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
Seeing that the shopkeeper agreed, Zhang Tude gave him the silver, and then found a place to sit down, ready to eat here before going up.
Bang dang
As soon as the shopkeeper was about to walk to the kitchen, he heard a movement at the door of the inn, and he and Zhang Tude looked over at the same time and found that it was the purple-clothed guest who accidentally tripped over the threshold.
"Ouch, Master Xu, be careful." After the shopkeeper said sorry to Zhang Tude, he went to help the purple-clothed guest, although he asked the guest to leave early just now, but seeing that he fell not lightly, the shopkeeper still helped him to the stool next to him.
After helping him sit down, the shopkeeper poured him another bowl of water, and then went to the kitchen to prepare supper for Zhang Tude and Danyao, while the purple-clothed guest fell asleep on the stool.
"Did this man drink so much?"
Zhang Tude shook his head, just now he saw that the purple-clothed guest was just a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts, but for some reason he was drunk like this?
"What's the matter, pill?"
Just as Zhang Tude was looking at the purple-clothed guest, the pill under the table suddenly bit his trouser leg, as if it was going to take him somewhere.
As soon as the pill saw Zhang Tude looking at it, he let go of his mouth, and then ran to the door of the inn before stopping, and there seemed to be something on the floor next to it.
Zhang Tude walked over and found that the thing was a waist card with four eyes on it.
