Chapter 401: Black Shop
The carriage walked slowly on the official road, the official road was in disrepair, potholes, the old horse walked on the potholed official road, as if walking on the ground, and the two people in the carriage did not have the slightest sense of bumps.
"It's time to go to the barren state." Lu Yang spread out the map, and there was a spot of light on the map, representing them, this is a magic weapon, which can roughly show their location, and it is a necessary magic weapon to go out.
"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest nearby." Meng Jingzhou saw that it was almost dark, and he had arrived in Huangzhou again, so there was no need to hurry up.
"Ah, look, there's an inn here, we can stay there!" Meng Jingzhou saw an inn not far away, the plaque was crumbling, and he couldn't even see the name of the inn clearly, and the quality of the inn was worrying.
Lu Yang looked at the inn suspiciously, it was gloomy, as if a random gust of wind could blow the inn down.
"Make do with it, it's better than spending the night in a carriage." Lu Yang comforted himself.
The two of them came to the door of the inn, the faΓ§ade was wide open, and it was dark and empty, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
The two finally saw the name of the inn - Qingming Inn.
"It's not an auspicious name, is this place closed or is it still open." Meng Jingzhou muttered, strode in, and shouted loudly, "Is there anyone, let's stay in the hotel!" β
No one responded.
Meng Jingzhou shouted again: "Is there anyone, let's stay in the hotel!" β
I heard a thud on the counter, like the sound of a corpse falling to the ground, which was extremely dull.
"Who is yelling, you don't even understand the rules of the hotel!" A man in a white paper hat scolded.
The counter came out and stared at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with an unkind expression.
"Stay in the hotel, come to the two best rooms!" Meng Jingzhou has always lived only in the best places.
"You two, stay in the hotel?" The man in the white paper hat looked at the two of them in surprise, and then craned his neck to look back, and found that no one was following them.
"Go, go, what kind of trouble, this is not the place for you to come, find another place to live." The man in the white paper hat impatiently drove the two away.
Meng Jingzhou wondered, he had lived in the inn so much, and it was the first time he met someone who was not allowed to stay.
Blood Kyo Village Naa, he lived in the age of Da Gong Cave Generation,
"Your store is full?
"Half of the rooms are still empty."
"Then why don't you let us stay?"
The man in the white paper hat saw that these two people really didn't understand the rules, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when he heard movement from upstairs.
Tread - step - step - step -
There was a sound of neat footsteps from the roof of the building, and it was neat and panicking.
The monk in a robe descended from the second floor, followed by a group of people, wrapped in black fabric, silent, and looking particularly terrifying in the night.
There were so many people wrapped in black cloth that Lu Yang and the others wondered if there were so many rooms upstairs that could accommodate so many people, especially the man in the white paper hat said that half of the rooms were empty.
Could it be that more than a dozen people live in the same room?
How do you live here, is it possible to stand and sleep against the wall?
"Little brother, leave the store, you are the worst Qingming Inn I've ever stayed in." The Dao robe monk threw out a string of copper coins and threw them to the man in the white paper hat, the style of the copper coins was something the two had never seen, and there were faint mana fluctuations on it, which seemed to have a special effect.
The man in the white paper hat grinned and didn't respond, as long as he had money to make.
Lu Yang wondered, now that the night is dark, why do you leave the store now?
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were shocked when they saw the appearance of the person wrapped in black cloth clearly.
The eyes of those wrapped in black cloth were blank, some of them had mud and nose in their mouths and noses, some were disfigured, as if they had been hit by something, and some were old and thin, with only a layer of skin left.
"Drowned, stoned, old....... these are dead people!"
"Exorcism?!"
No wonder I checked out and left the store just after night, rested during the day, and drove out corpses at night, that's what the book says.
The two didn't expect that as soon as they entered the wasteland, they encountered the long-known corpse expulsion technique.
The man in the white paper hat put away the copper coins and glanced at the two of them: "I am here in the corpse inn, providing a place for corpse chasers to rest, and the rooms are for the dead, if you are not taboo, you can live here." β
The corners of the two of them twitched, and they lived in the dead man's room, which was somewhat uncomfortable.
"That person just now can perform the corpse chasing technique, is he a member of the corpse chasing sect?" Lu Yang asked again, if it was someone from the Corpse Sect, they could just talk to each other.
The man in the white paper hat shook his head: "The two of you are outsiders, I will say that our Qingming Inn is in the Huangzhou chain, how can there be living people who know what the name of our store is, and come to stay in the store."
"We are from Yunzhou.
The white paper hat suddenly realized: "Central Plains Dazhou, no wonder, I heard that there is one of the five great immortal sects there is the Dao Sect, which is extremely strong with the entire Yunzhou, with convenient transportation, developed economy, and strong people." β
He corrected the misunderstanding of the two: "The corpse expulsion technique is not only the corpse expulsion sect, there are many folk scattered cultivators who can drive the corpse, but it is far less solemn than the corpse chaser sect." β
"In our barren state, whether it is a corpse chaser cultivator, or a corpse chaser sect disciples, collectively known as corpse chasers, the transaction between them is not a spirit stone, but a large copper magic coin.
The man in the white paper hat shook a string of copper coins in his hand: "This is it."
The two thanked the man in the white paper hat and decided to find another inn.
Leaving the Qingming Inn, Lu Yang saw a sign at the door of the inn, and out of kindness, he helped the store up.
I saw that the sign read: Due to the adjustment of business strategy, the store has now moved to Baiquan Town to the east of 20 miles, please understand.
The date of payment is five years ago.
"What!
The two of them raised their heads suddenly, looking at the Qingming Inn in front of them in shock, and a chill rose in their hearts.
The real Qingming Inn has moved away, so who did they just see?
They burst into the shop, and it was empty, and there were still some men in white paper hats.
"It's a human and a ghost
The two of them were shocked, they didn't notice the strangeness of the man in the white paper hat from beginning to end, and the man in the white paper hat didn't react when he saw Meng Jingzhou, who had a pure yang body, how high should the cultivation be, the ghost king.
A decisive voice ordered, and a group of monks dressed in fast-catching costumes poured out from all sides and rushed into the inn.
"Damn, let him run away!
The leader was full of beards, and he was very unhappy to see that there was no man in a white paper hat in the inn.
"This big brother, what is the situation?" Lu Yang asked politely.
Seeing that Lu Yang and the others had just come out of the inn, he knew that they were not suspicious characters, and explained:
"This Qingming inn has been abandoned for five years, but in the past five years, there are always people who say that they have lived in this inn, and they think it is haunted, and they came to us to report the case.
"There is a man in a white paper hat who pretends to be a shopkeeper and pretends to open a shop here, so that the corpse chaser can live in and make money."
"Because the corpse does not pick a place to live in the store, the environment is somewhat poor, and then there are corpse chasers who can't bear it, and feel that the environment of this Qingming Inn is too poor, so they complain to the head office of the Qingming Inn, and the head office of the Qingming Inn is even more surprised, saying that this store has long been closed, and this is the case.
"After we found out the truth, we thought about waiting for the rabbit and arresting the man in the white paper hat, but it didn't work out, so we let him run away!"
Lu Yang: "....
Can you even do this kind of thing in order to make money?
