Tranquility returned to the valley. It wasn't until hours later that a new hungry ghost emerged from the barrier and probed his brain in this strange land.

......

A strong light suddenly appeared in front of him, Yan Saburo subconsciously closed his eyes, and supported his protective qi and stretched out his arms to protect his head.

This cave is probably the only way to get out of the desperate situation, and at the end is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and he has to break in.

He even thought about how he would deal with it if he had to face the Seagod Envoy if he passed through the passage.

Fortunately, none of this happened.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a simple shelf with large and small bottles and cans on it. Judging by the smell, these were all things he was familiar with—peppers, pickles, and all sorts of kitchen spices.

The gray shadow flashed, and a fat-headed and big-eared mouse rushed out from under the shelf, and I don't know from which hole in the wall it came out, leaving only a few squeaks to protest against the two uninvited guests.

Yan Saburo and Bai Ling glanced at each other, looked around, and found themselves in a hut, the length and width of the ground were no more than a zhang. Judging by the furnishings, this is ...... Grocery room?

Footsteps could be heard outside the brown wood door, and the voices of people who had not been seen for a long time.

Yan Saburo took a breath quietly, and then pushed the door out.

The light lit up in front of him, and he found himself standing behind the counter. And the counter is facing the open front door.

When he turned around, he saw a wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

The style of the staircase looks particularly familiar.

The shopkeeper standing behind the counter turned around when he heard the sound and saw two people walking out of the room, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You, when did you go in?"

Yan Saburo smiled at him: "It seems that I went to the wrong place." Where is this?"

The shopkeeper looked at him, and then looked at Bai Ling, who came out of the back, and found that the two of them were young, handsome and pretty, and the little girl seemed to be panting, and couldn't help but show a sudden expression: "This is Tongyue Inn." Two guests can rent a room on the second floor, the corner is very sober, and no one is disturbed!"

The four words in the shopkeeper's words made Bai Ling not pay attention to his strange smile at all: "Tongyue Inn?"

She raised her voice slightly: "You say, this is Tongyue Inn?"

"Yes, the two ......" Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Bai Ling walked out of the door and looked back.

On the lintel, sure enough, there is a half-new signboard, with the words "Tongyue Inn" written on it.

This signboard, this façade, and even the structure and layout of the building are very familiar, and Bai Ling still remembers that there is a round ball carved on the wooden pillar at the staircase-

They only came last night.

Yan Saburo thought about it, turned around and climbed the ladder. The shopkeeper wanted to stop: "Eh, eh, there are guests resting above." But before he could finish speaking, the boy handed over a piece of broken silver, "Book the room around the corner." ”

There was silver to open the way, and the shopkeeper retreated with a smile.

Yan Saburo and Bai Ling ascended to the second floor and walked along the wooden porch to the end. The floor creaked, and it was clear that the wood was some years old, and he could still see dirt and damage in the cracks of the wood when he looked down.

This feeling is exactly the same as last night, except that now it is dawn, and the corridor is not as gloomy as last night.

Walking through the two doors, they both heard the voices of people in the doors, and it was a guest staying in the hotel.

A few steps further on, the only room with the lights on last night.

Yan Saburo pushed the door and entered.

Squeak –

Inside the door was an ordinary guest room with a bed, table, chairs, and nothing else.

There is no foyer, no screen, and no back door, but there is a small window.

Bai Ling looked at it for a while, and then said uncertainly: "Last night, this was an illusion?"

"Perhaps. ”

Yan Saburo only answered two words, and he felt a slight shock in his chest, and then Chitose's voice came: "The task is complete." ”

Hey, the wooden bell's mission is complete?

Mo said that it was a thousand years old, and even Yan Saburo was a little inexplicable. They haven't done anything.

"The Seagod Envoy and the Hungry Ghosts have left, and the threat to the barrier has been lifted for the time being. Chitose analyzed, "We also came out, and the entrance to the desperate situation must have been closed." You see, how perfect. ”

So the task was completed, and although it was not them who did the task, the effect was achieved.

Yan Saburo shrugged.

Such inexplicable success can come several more times.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and someone exclaimed, "What is that?"

Another person shouted, "Monster, run away!"

The two of them were startled and hurriedly went downstairs and went out.

Running down the street, the crowd had gathered, all looking up to the east and pointing.

Yan Saburo looked up, and then his pupils shrank suddenly—the commotion began at the end of the street, and with his eyes, he could see countless monsters rushing towards it, knocking down countless residents along the way.

Bai Ling exclaimed, "Hungry ghost!"

Aren't these monsters the hungry ghosts they saw in the Jedi?

They walked through the streets and alleys, and even jumped directly into the houses on the side of the road, and then there were screams and screams in the houses. If you have a good ear like Yan Saburo, you can still hear the crunching sound of monsters chewing things.

Is that the sound of gnawing at human bones?

With his concentration, he also felt a chill in his back at this time. He has been on the battlefield and seen corpses all over the field, but it is a man beating people, unlike what happened here is a monster attacking the city and cannibalism in broad daylight!

Bai Ling's face was slightly pale in horror, and she subconsciously grabbed the corner of Yan Sanlang's clothes and shook it: "What should we do!" The hungry ghosts who jumped into here from the Jedi were densely packed, and I was afraid that there would be 20,000 or 30,000 people, and they were about to catch up with the permanent population of Pantugou. But there are only a few thousand garrisons here, and the rest of the old, weak, women and children have no combat effectiveness at all!

Isn't it waiting to die if you stay here?

Seeing that this place was about to become a hell on earth, Yan Saburo also took a deep breath and said categorically: "Go back." ”

"Huh?"

"Go back to the inn. He turned around and walked briskly back to the inn.

Bai Ling followed closely, and then saw Yan Saburo turn around and close the door.

"Can this small building withstand the attack of hungry ghosts?" she worried. It was just a wooden building, and she had seen with her own eyes last night how powerful the hungry ghost was. Those hungry ghosts can tear down this building alive with their bare hands!

She saw that the window was still open, and hurried to close it.

The screams and screams outside the door, as well as the strange laughter peculiar to the hungry ghosts, were getting closer.

Bai Ling leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, and only had three words in her heart: "What should I do?"

At this moment, the shopkeeper came out of the grocery room, and when he looked up, he saw that the store was dimly lit and the doors and windows were closed, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Both, what's wrong?" and then he heard the noise outside, and immediately was shocked, "What's going on outside!"

Bai Ling opened her mouth to speak, but Yan Saburo preemptively said to her: "Take out the sand bottle." ”

"Oh. Although he didn't know what he wanted, Bai Ling still obediently took out a vial of yellow sand.

So the three people present saw it, and the sand in the bottle kept jumping towards the east.
