Chapter 234: The Inn

Half a month later, Li Mu, Shen Li and Yi Fan rented a carriage and came to Liuxi City, Shuzhou. Before he died, a Sangdao man told Li Mu that he would bury the "Nine Songs" in the Xiaoyao Inn in Liuxi City. This time, Li Mu came to get back the "Nine Songs".

Liuxi City is not a big city in Shuzhou, and the scale is naturally incomparable with Songyang City. There are no tall buildings in the city, but there are many trees. Yi Fan put his hands on the pergola and looked around, "Is Shuzhou very suitable for planting Bodhi? Why are there so many Bodhi trees?"

The branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree are spherical in shape, and most of the temples are planted, so Yi Fan can easily identify them.

Li Mu shook his head, "I don't know." I've been to Songyang County, and Songyang City is not like this. ”

"By the way, why did you name and look for the Xiaoyao Inn? The person just now said that the location of the Xiaoyao Inn is very remote. Yi Fan drove the car, waving his horsewhip casually.

"I told you about it, I'm going to come here and get something. Li Mu explained to him, and then he pointed to the fork in front of him, "Is it time to turn left here?"

"Did that guy mean this way?"

"It should be this way. ”

Yi Fan was a little suspicious, but his arm was still very honest. The carriage turned around and turned left.

The carriage entered a path, and Li Mu saw a lush Bodhi tree appear in front of him. The Bodhi tree was planted in a courtyard, and on the door plaque of the courtyard, the four big characters of Xiaoyao Inn were written.

"Arrived?" Yi Fan asked, pointing ahead.

"I guess so. Li Mu said.

Shen Li, who had been staying in the carriage, heard the voice and came out, "Arrived?" When Shen Li was in Lingcheng in Diyuan County, he had been recuperating from his injuries, and after the injuries were healed, the three of them set off for Liuxi City.

According to what Yue Yefeng said, the Grandmaster Hall has temporarily gathered its strength and gone to Yacheng to deal with the newly appeared Ten Hall Yama. Without the pressure of the Grandmaster Hall, Li Mu could finally breathe a sigh of relief first. Facing the Tianzi Grandmaster, Li Mu felt so much pressure that he was desperate. Taking a breath of relief does not mean completely relieving this breath, there are also martial arts academies and catchers. But at least it's much better than suffocating.

More than half a month has passed, and Li Mu's hair has also grown. The unusual short hair gave Li Mu a little more strong atmosphere. In order not to attract attention, Li Mu specially wore a hat.

The three of them came to the door of the inn and found that the inn was actually a big courtyard, the courtyard door was wide open, and no one was at the door to greet them.

"This inn feels weird. Yi Fan said. Li Mu agreed with what he said, this Xiaoyao Inn is a little less lively than an ordinary inn. "Maybe it's bad business?" Shen Li guessed on the side.

"Let's go inside. Li Mu beckoned.

The three of them walked into the courtyard gate, and inside was a small courtyard, and then a house. Li Mu walked in and found that the room was the layout of an ordinary inn. Tables, chairs, counters, everything. There were only two or three people sitting on the tables and chairs inside, and one of them was still dressed as a running hall. A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard sits behind the counter, yawning lazily. On the wall behind him, there is a nave. Five big characters were written from top to bottom in the middle hall, "You have to fight out!"

"Yes, the purpose proposed by Yuelai Inn has been borrowed by inns all over the world. Yi Fan looked at those five words and said, "I wonder if there is a hero package here?"

The man behind the clinker counter heard Yi Fan's words and replied lazily, "No." His tone made Yi Fan interested, and he stepped forward and leaned against the counter, "The shopkeeper wants to stay in the store." ”

The shopkeeper looked up at him and said, "No." ”

Hearing this, Yi Fan was a little stunned. Li Mu stepped forward and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there no room left?"

"No, we don't have business in the store, and we're closing soon. The shopkeeper replied.

"Ugh. Li Mu didn't expect this to be the case, he continued: "We only stay for one night, can we do it for one night? ”

"Three rooms, do you have enough money?" the shopkeeper looked at the three of them as young.

Yi Fan patted his package, "Don't worry, it's enough." ”

The shopkeeper looked up at the running hall on the side, groaned slightly, and then stretched out his hand and threw out three wooden cards, "Since you are not short of money, then the second floor of the backyard and the east side are three." The deposit is 900 wen. Yi Fan paid, and the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and beckoned, "Lao Bai, you take them to the backyard." ”

The runner who was sitting in the chair stood up and shook the rag on his shoulder, "Three of you, please!"

The three of them followed the running hall to the backyard, and what caught their eyes was the big Bodhi tree. Rantang led them to the east wing. Walking on the road, Li Mu noticed that there were many rooms in this courtyard, but the doors were all closed. Li Mu looked at the Bodhi tree in the courtyard again, and a Sangdao person said that the "Nine Songs" was buried under the Bodhi tree.

Li Mu pressed his mind to find out, and continued to follow the running hall forward.

"That's it, there are three of them. Here's the key, distribute it yourself. Whatever is the matter, you will command it again. With that, he threw the key to Yi Fan, turned around and walked back.

Li Mu looked at him and said, "Do you feel that something is wrong?"

Yi Fan said: "The runners and shopkeepers of this inn don't seem to be very concerned about business. It's no wonder that business will be good this way. After saying that, he took out two keys, "Here, these two rooms are for you." If you come and go in the middle of the night, you don't have to disturb me. ”

Hearing this, Li Mu tilted his head and didn't speak, but Shen Li, who had already recovered his old temper, snatched the key and said, "You can come and go, it's not that you haven't lived in a room." ”

"Okay, let's go put things away first, and then we'll go get something to eat. Li Mu took the key handed over by Shen Li. The three of them settled down briefly, and Li Mu walked out of the room first and walked to the Bodhi tree in the courtyard.

"Under the linden tree. Li Mu walked around the Bodhi tree. At the root of the Bodhi tree, a lot of weeds grew, Li Mu looked around, and found no signs that the soil had been turned.

Li Mu thought about it for a while, and it had been a few months since the people of Yisang Dao had been separated from him. Moreover, a Sangdao person was separated from Li Mu in Shuzhou, and after that, a Sangdao person was taken to Turtle Island. Turtle Island is in Lizhou, which means that a Sangdao person has buried the "Nine Songs" here for a while. After so long, even if there were some traces at that time, the wind and rain should have been erased.

"Nine Songs" is the general outline of Taiyi's martial arts, and its importance to Taiyi is self-evident. After making this decision, I think that after a Sangdao person makes this decision, he should be cautious when he does it. He's just going around and taking a look now. No discovery is also as it should be. Li Mu looked around, although there was no sign of occupancy in the other rooms in the courtyard, it was daytime, and he was swaggering and digging here, which was too eye-catching.

Also, I don't know if it's Li Mu's illusion, he always feels that this inn is a little strange. It was an indescribable feeling. Li Mu attributed this feeling to himself being a little too sensitive because of his wanted relationship.

After a while, Yi Fan came out, and Shen Li also came out. Li Mu greeted him and said, "Let's go eat first, and go outside after eating." ”

The three of them walked together and wanted to go to the hall outside to eat, but the shopkeeper told them that the cook was sick and had taken leave to go home, and let them go out to eat. This surprised the three of them again.

"This is really an inn with nothing...... Yi Fan muttered in his mouth, and followed Li Mu and Shen Li out of the inn.

When the three of them came to the street, Li Mu found that there was a cloth village next to it. Li Mu glanced back at the Xiaoyao Inn, and still walked in.

The scale of the cloth village is very small, and there is only one shopkeeper in it. When he saw Li Mu bring the two of them in, he thought that business had come to the door. He asked enthusiastically, "What do you want to do?"

Li Mu smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper, I want to buy a new set of clothes for the three of us, do you have any new materials here?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled, he picked up a piece of cloth on the counter, and said, "Yes." Guest officer, take a look, this weaving, this color, this is Fu Ruixiang's new material this year. Light and breathable, the rich and noble people in Yacheng all use this material. ”

Li Mu stretched out his hand and touched it, then turned his head to Shen Li and said, "Take a look, do you like it?" Shen Li smiled sweetly: "You can just send it." ”

"Okay, how much does this material cost a foot?"

"Cheap, a penny for a penny. ”

When Shen Li heard this, he asked, "One dollar and one foot, what's cheaper?"

The shopkeeper looked at Li Mu and felt that he was the master, so he said, "It's cheap." Look at ......" The shopkeeper wanted to say more, but Li Mu preemptively said: "We are from other places, don't bully the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "How can this be! This store operates on a small budget, and if it is a foreigner, it will not dare to deceive." ”

"By the way, shopkeeper, I have something I want to ask, has anything happened to the Xiaoyao Inn over there?" Li Mu led the topic to the Xiaoyao Inn.

"What's the matter?" the shopkeeper was a little strange.

Li Mu said: "We live in it, the environment is very good, but it seems that there are very few people." ”

"Hi, that's normal. The shopkeeper of the inn Li took her family back to the funeral. Now in the inn, one of his distant nephews is taking care of it. This person is not very good at business, so there are indeed fewer people these days. ”

"Then this person is a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard?" Li Mu wanted to confirm.

"No, no, no, it's a young man, and you're talking about a guy he recruited. The shopkeeper said.

Hearing this, Li Mu's brows tightened, and Yi Fan and Shen Li also noticed that something was wrong. According to the shopkeeper of the cloth village, the shopkeeper who entertained them just now should be the identity of the guy.

If that's the case, where is the distant nephew who took over from Shopkeeper Li to watch the store temporarily?
