Chapter XXXV. Investigation

As the crowd dispersed, Lin Yan quietly returned to the inn at night soon after, without alarming anyone.

The next morning, Lin Yan woke up early, carefully paying attention to the movements in the other rooms.

After a while, the doors of the other rooms opened one after another, and the guests inside slowly walked out.

Lin Yan also pretended to have just woken up, and walked out of the house yawning.

As usual, it's time to go downstairs for breakfast, so basically the guests are opening the doors and going downstairs.

Lin Yan took a cursory glance and found that in addition to him, there were about four guests staying in the hotel, namely two young men and women in white clothes with swords, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, and a rough man in coarse cloth clothes with a stubble on his face.

Seeing that they were all going downstairs, Lin Yan also walked down, and found that the hall downstairs was empty, and there was no one.

The rough man was the first to speak, his voice was very loud, and he said in a loud voice: "Shopkeeper!" Shopkeeper's! Where did the people go? ”

Lin Yan thought to himself: The shopkeeper has been arrested, and naturally there is no one.

The woman in white with the sword listened to the loud voice of the rough man, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, revealing a hint of disgust.

The middle-aged man dressed as a businessman also looked around and said, "It's strange, the shopkeeper got up early a few days ago to make a meal, why don't you see anyone today?" Isn't it that you haven't gotten up yet? ”

At this time, the man in white spoke: "Everyone, why don't we look around first, we can't go hungry, right?"

When the rest of the people heard this, they could only nod helplessly, and looked for it on the first floor, and even searched in the courtyard, but they still didn't find the figure of the shopkeeper.

"Forget it, who knows where this shopkeeper went, I'm starving to death, I'll go out and see if there's anything to eat." The rough man had been looking for a long time to no avail, and he was a little impatient, so he shook his hand and walked towards the door.

The middle-aged man dressed as a businessman also echoed when he heard this: "What this old man said is reasonable, the shopkeeper may have something urgent and is not in the store, so we might as well go outside and find a store to eat something."

When the rest of the people heard this, they followed and walked out.

As soon as the rough man opened the door, he found that there were many people around the door, pointing at the place.

Everyone was a little confused, thinking: What's going on?

Of course, Lin Yan knew that this eighty percent had something to do with the arrest of the shopkeeper last night.

Seeing the people around him pointing at his people, as if he was watching a monkey show, the rough man was angry, grabbed a person who was watching the excitement, and asked fiercely, "What do you say?" Be louder! ”

The person who was carried over was thin and thin, looking malnourished, and the rough man's arms were thicker than his thighs...... Shopkeeper's ......"

"What the hell! I won't even say a whole sentence! The rough man was so upset when he saw him like this that he threw him aside.

Then he shouted to the crowd, "Is there anyone who speaks neatly!" Stand up for one and tell me what's going on! ”

When people saw him so fierce, they unconsciously took a step back. After a while, an old man on crutches came out of the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "This strong man!"

"Huh?" The rough man turned his head to look at him.

"The shopkeeper Song of this inn attacked the immortal master last night and offended the god of the underworld, and he has been detained by the immortal master, and he will be executed in three days!" The old man on crutches said slowly.

When several people heard this, they glanced at each other, and their eyes were incredible: who would have thought that after one night's hard work, this Song shopkeeper would be arrested! Or is it because of the offense to some god of the underworld?

At this time, the man in white stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Old man, may I ask who this god of the underworld is?"

The old man coughed a few times and said, "Lord Hades' magic is boundless, and he is the one who can save us from the sea of suffering!"

The man in white was speechless for a while when he heard this, this old man said it but didn't say it! But at least they knew that the god of the underworld was important to them.

The woman in white on the side pursed her lips disdainfully when she heard this, and said, "What god of the underworld?" Pretend to be a ghost! ”

When the onlookers heard this, they immediately glared at her: Where did the wild girl come from! How dare you blaspheme the god of the underworld!

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the man in white quickly turned his head and glared at the woman, and then arched his hand to the people on the old man's side and said, "My junior sister is young and ignorant, please forgive me!"

When the old man heard this, he stopped the people around him, and said solemnly to a few people: "Childe, I think you are a foreigner, forgive you this time for the time being!" It is important to know that people must have a sense of awe, and the great god of the underworld cannot be blasphemed! ”

"You'd better leave early, you're not welcome here!"

After speaking, the old man turned to leave, and the surrounding people gradually dispersed, leaving a few people to stay where they were.

"Senior Brother Feng, why don't you let me speak?" The woman in white said dissatisfied.

"Senior Sister Mo, this god of the underworld seems to be extremely important to them, don't provoke them." The man in white who was called Senior Brother Feng said.

"Humph! What a bullshit god of the underworld, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil! The rough man said disdainfully.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! This has gone beyond our expectations, so I think we'd better find a place to eat and then think about it in the long run! The man dressed as a merchant said.

At this time, everyone's stomachs were already rumbling, and they agreed to this proposal.

connected to Lin Yan, and a group of five people found a small stall that sold breakfast, and ordered something casually to satisfy their stomachs.

The strange thing is that the people here are all pale and listless, with big dark circles under their eyes, as if they haven't slept for days and nights.

The food made in this state can't be very delicious, but a few people are really hungry, especially Lin Yan, who didn't eat much yesterday, and tossed in the middle of the night at night, and he was already hungry at this time.

A few people will finish breakfast on the spot, and Senior Sister Mo may be more pampered on weekdays, so she threw it aside after eating a few bites of food.

While they were eating, several people also asked the vendor about the inn shopkeeper.

This peddler may also be a chatter, there is no door in his mouth, and as soon as people ask, they will shake out the bamboo tube like pouring beans.

"The shopkeeper of this 'Huangquan Inn' is named Song Yi, who is said to have been a soldier in his early years, and later retired from the army when he was injured. With the settling-in allowance given by the army, he returned to the town and opened a small inn, which is this one. ”

Later, I married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a daughter, and my life was quite comfortable. He usually has a good relationship with his neighbors, but the good times don't last long, and then his daughter-in-law died of an inexplicable illness, and soon his daughter also contracted a serious illness. ”

"Who would have thought that such a thing would happen this time! He actually went crazy to attack and kill the immortal master, and dared to blaspheme the Lord of the Underworld, this is a great sin! ”

"Alas, maybe he was also crushed by this continuous blow!"

After the peddler finished speaking, he sighed helplessly.

When a few people heard this, they probably knew what the situation was with this Song shopkeeper, although he looked a little abnormal, but he didn't look like crazy.

At this time, Senior Brother Bai Yifeng continued to ask, "According to what you say, this shopkeeper Song is not a bad person on weekdays, right?"

The peddler continued, "That's right! Alas, who would have thought of this! ”

Senior Brother Feng changed his words and asked, "Then ...... is this Lord Hades?"

Hearing this, the peddler looked around, leaned over, and said mysteriously: "Lord Hades is a god with high mana!"

"Speaking of which, our place was originally called 'Lingxi Town', because there is a spiritual stream running through the town, and drinking the water from this stream can enhance physical fitness, and our people here have relied on her for generations."

"About a year ago, there was a sudden epidemic in the town, and the stream was polluted, and Langzhong was helpless. At this moment, the Immortal Master and his party came, and they brought the Hades to save us from the sea of suffering! ”

"Does this Lord Hades really have such great power?" A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman on the side asked.

The vendor continued: "You are strangers, you don't know, the Immortal Master gave us the 'Immortal Powder' gifted by the Immortal God at that time, and this 'Immortal Powder' ......."

As soon as he said this, the peddler's wife suddenly kicked him and coughed. The peddler realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately stopped saying anything.

Seeing that they couldn't get any useful information after chatting any longer, they settled the bill and walked in the direction of the inn.

After they left, the vendor's wife complained, "You don't have a doorkeeper, can you talk nonsense with these outsiders?" In case it reaches the ears of the immortal master......"

The peddler was also a little scared, and said, "Probably not!" Thanks to you for reminding me, I didn't say anything important. ”

Not to mention that the hawker and his wife were afraid of being there, but after a few people left, they returned to the door of the inn after a while.

Looking up at the four big characters of "Huangquan Inn", the middle-aged man dressed as a businessman smiled and said, "When I first came here a few days ago, I saw this plaque and thought it was really a ghost domain?" Today, I found out that this is probably a form of worship of the god of the underworld! ”

Senior Brother Bai Yifeng smiled when he heard this: "The stone tablet at the entrance of the town is still engraved with 'Nai He Town', it is really a ghost domain, so haven't we all stepped into reincarnation?"

As soon as Lin Yan heard what they said, he discovered these strange places. But this can't be blamed for his carelessness, it's true that he came too late, and who in the dark can notice this?

The rough man listened to everyone's discussion, and said disdainfully: "What kind of bullshit 'Huangquan' and 'Nai', they are all things that scare people, Lao Tzu has never seen anything in the north and south for so many years, don't say that it is these bluff things, even if it is the capital city, Lao Tzu dares to go in and break into him!"
