Chapter 192: Unbelievable
When I woke up this time, something incredible had happened in front of my eyes. The shopkeeper was fiddling with the abacus, and a few guys who were running the hall were busy. The wine and food in the hall are fragrant, and more than a dozen tables are full. The guests chatted and clinked glasses and shouted. It's very lively.
A guy was walking past Lin Zhongquan, he coldly grabbed the collar of the guy's chest, and said loudly: "Young master, if I ask you, you'd better answer honestly." Otherwise, if I don't knock out a few of your teeth, you won't have a long memory. ”
The guy was startled and shuddered, "Big ...... Uncle, you ...... You saw it, too. This...... This hall is full of guests, small ...... The small one has two legs and two arms. If you are slack, you should bear with me. Lin Zhongquan straightened his face and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. ”
The guy said, "Uncle, just raise your noble hand." The little ones really can't wait for you at this time. Otherwise, other table guests will inevitably be unhappy, you always have some food and no wine, and the small ones will be urged. Lin Zhongquan said, "Did you hear any noise last night?"
The guy said with a bitter face: "Uncle, the little hard work, I am tired in the morning and am about to climb down during the day, as long as my head touches the bed board at night, I will be sure to sleep until dawn." As for what you keep saying, small ones can't be heard. Lin Zhongquan asked again: "Where did you sleep last night?" The man said: "Where can the little people sleep, naturally it is in this hall to lay on the floor." ”
Lin Zhongquan snorted coldly and said, "I see that you really don't want this mouth full of teeth." The guests at the other tables saw Lin Zhongquan grabbing the guy and provoking, and their eyes looked at him. Seeing this, the shopkeeper also put down the work in his hand, and walked over with a smile: "Son, stop your anger." The clumsiness of the people will inevitably make you angry, if there is any neglect, there is a lot of sea. He said that he bowed his hand to Lin Zhongquan.
Lin Zhongquan let go of the guy, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I don't know anything about the shopkeeper, and I'm about to ask for advice." This little second brother doesn't have a bright brain, but he still has a shopkeeper to tell me. The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said, "What do you want to ask the unknown guest?" Lin Zhongquan said: "Where did all the people in this inn go last night?"
The shopkeeper said: "The villain doesn't seem to have the right to intervene in the affairs of the guests. However, since the guests are staying at our hotel, no one will pay for the room and not sleep. ”
Lin Zhongquan said loudly: "You are talking nonsense, after last night, there was no one in this inn." Tell me honestly, who are you, why are you teasing Ben Gongzi, and where did you come from?", he said, pointing to the guests at the tables around him.
The shopkeeper sneered: "I'm afraid the guest officer has eaten a few more cups." Let the guys help you to rest. When Lin Zhongquan heard him say that he had eaten a few more cups, his ears buzzed. The guests beside him pointed at him, and the face of the shopkeeper in front of him gradually became blurred. It seems that he is really drunk.
A voice in his ear said: "Guest officer, if you are drunk, help him back to his room to rest." Lin Zhongquan only felt that his tongue was numb, he couldn't speak, and a white light suddenly flashed in front of him, and the person lost consciousness.
When he came to his senses again, he lay on a soft bed. Moonlight poured in through the panes, and the floor was covered with a layer of silver frost. He said to himself in a daze, "Where am I? What's wrong with me?" He only felt that his head was splitting, and suddenly he remembered that he was talking to the shopkeeper in the hall of the inn, why was he lying on the bed?
All his experiences in the inn seemed so bizarre that he began to wonder if he was dreaming or if something strange had happened, and by the moonlight, he jumped out of bed, strode to the wall, put his ear to it, and listened carefully. The next room was uninhabited, and he walked to another wall to listen, also quietly.
Lin Zhongquan lit up the fire and lit the oil lamp on the table. The dead man's head on the table was gone, but the note was still there. His heart sank, and he said secretly: "So, I'm not dreaming anymore. He put on his robe and boots, and strapped his sword to his back. Holding an oil lamp, he opened the door and went out, the corridor was pitch black, and only his room was shining brightly.
Lin Zhongquan walked along the corridor to the hall, which was empty. The guests, the shopkeeper seemed to have disappeared once again. Lin Zhongquan said to himself: "Impossible, impossible, how can there be such a strange thing in the world?" As he spoke, he quickly jumped up the stairs and ran towards Feng Miaoqing's house.
When he walked into the room again, the headless corpse had disappeared without a trace. Lin Zhongquan walked straight to the window, pushed open the pane, and looked up at the moon in the sky. Judging from the position of the moon, the sub-hour will soon arrive. He remembered the note, held the oil lamp again, and hurried back to his room.
He walked to the door and saw a man standing in front of the window. The man had his back to him, and by the light, he could see it clearly, this person was wearing a white gauze robe, and his back was slender and resembling Feng Miaoqing. Lin Zhongquan was overjoyed, and blurted out: "Miss Feng." ”
The man turned his head with a delicate face. Lin Zhongquan saw that this woman was not someone else but Feng Miaoqing, and he was puzzled, and said with a straight face: "Miss Feng, why are you here?" Feng Miaoqing in front of him spoke, but it was a man's voice, and he only heard her say: "I'm not here, where should I be?"
Lin Zhongquan said in his heart: "You are not Miss Feng, who are you?" The man's voice changed to a woman and said, "I am Feng Miaoqing." Lin Zhongquan pulled out his long sword with his backhand and shouted, "You don't want to lie to me, you are the legendary four-faced demon god at your feet, right?"
The woman turned back into a man's thick voice and said, "You guessed wrong, I'm a demon god messenger, and I'm here to give you a beautiful head." Lin Zhongquan took a step back and said in a trembling voice: "You...... What the hell did you do to Miss Feng?" the man ignored him, but plucked his head off with both hands, like picking a flower.

The headless body did not fall, but still put its head on the table. Lin Zhongquan's face was pale, and he didn't dare to look at the head, because this face was too familiar. Just as he covered his eyes with his hand, the body flew out of the window. A moment later, a figure flew into the room.
Lin Zhongquan pointed to the man in front of him and said, "You...... Aren't you dead?" the man said, "You mean I'm going to die without a head?" No head is certain death for mortals, but it is no obstacle to the Demon God Messenger. ”
Lin Zhongquan's eyes caught a glimpse of a circle of fine stitches around his neck, apparently someone had attached his head to it. He gasped and said, "You...... What the hell do you want?" the young man said, "I said you were my chosen one, and I would take you to meet the Four-Faced Demon God. Don't you want to renew your beloved's severed head?"
Lin Zhongquan glanced at the head on the table and said, "You must have used a trick in front of me." The shopkeeper and those guests in this inn are all people you arranged, where are they?" the scar-faced young man smiled and asked, "Do you really want to know?" Lin Zhongquan said, "Of course." ”
The young man nodded and said, "As long as you and I go to see the Demon God, whether it is the girl you love in your heart or the people you say in your mouth, I guarantee that you will meet you." Lin Zhongquan cared about Feng Miaoqing's safety, and he mustered up the courage to say loudly: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the head on the table and said lightly: "You take this human head and follow me, let's go to see the demon god." Lin Zhongquan took off his coat and wrapped the human head in it. He glanced at the young man and said, "Please lead the way." ”
The young man leaped forward, tiptoe a little on the window frame, and grasped a straight rope outside the window. He glanced at Lin Zhongquan and climbed up like a monkey. Lin Zhongquan wrapped his coat behind him and jumped out. Grab the straight rope with both hands.
He looked up and saw the young man hanging above him. The other party said loudly: "Keep climbing up, and you can see the demon god." Lin Zhongquan climbed up with both hands, and suddenly he felt as if he was being lifted by a strong force, and his people were suddenly standing on a strange boat.
The ship was ten feet long, and an olive-shaped thing hung above the hull. There were many people standing on the deck, all wearing masks made of white paper, and they saw the scar-faced young man approaching. They all bowed down and bowed to him. The young man turned around and glanced at Lin Zhongquan and said, "Lord Demon God is in front. ”
As he spoke, he knelt down in front of a huge statue in front of him and said loudly, "Lord Demon God, the mortal you are looking for is here." Lin Zhongquan walked through the crowd of people wearing white paper masks and walked up a staircase. He saw a two-foot-tall colored statue. The color image seems to have four faces, and directly opposite him is a smiling face.
The smiling face was very peculiar, the same as the white paper masks worn by the group on the boat. Two elongated, curved arcs are the eyes, and one arched arc is the mouth. The only difference was that the statue had a scar on its cheek that was identical to that of the messenger.
The Demon God Statue has a total of eight arms, which stretch out in different directions like tree branches. Those huge hands held eight kinds of magic weapons, hammers, umbrellas, mirrors, swords, towers, pestles, snakes, and pens. Lin Zhongquan stood at the feet of the demon god and said, "Your Excellency is the demon god?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the demon god burst into red light. In the middle of the day, there was a thunderous voice and said: "I am the demon god, and you are the mortal I have chosen." I can grant you three wishes, but you'll have to leave something in return. ”
Lin Zhongquan looked at the scar-faced young man and said, "When I came, you told me that the four-faced demon god can fulfill three wishes of people, and no matter what kind of wish you have, you didn't say that these wishes come at a price. ”
The scar-faced young man said gloomily, "I didn't say it, but Lord Demon God didn't tell you. The demon god's eyes glowed red, and the voice in the air said, "Mortal, have you thought about it? I will get something from you every time I fulfill your wish." ”
Lin Zhongquan unloaded the package on his shoulder, looked at the Demon God Statue and said, "If you want my life, then I'm afraid I'll die before I make the second wish." The demon god said, "I will not take your life, the life of a mortal is like an ant." I will never grow old or die, and your life is of no value to me. ”
Lin Zhongquan thought for a while and said, "If you want me to say, I just want you to fulfill one of my wishes." The Demon God Statue said, "Tell me about it." Lin Zhongquan said: "Please Lord Demon God can fulfill my hundred wishes." The demon god let out a thunderous laugh, and the people on the boat couldn't help but cover their ears.
The sound was deafening, and Lin Zhongquan couldn't help but cover his ears. The Demon God said, "Okay." I can grant you that. But the price of this wish is to take away your memory. Lin Zhongquan said loudly: "If my memory is taken away, won't the hundred wishes I made just now be in vain?"
The Demon God Statue said, "Yes. I've given you three chances, but you only need one. Wait until I collect your memories first, and then I will fulfill this wish of yours. ”
