Chapter Seventy-Six: Night Attack

Listening to Xue Ge, business has plummeted in the past few days because of the haunted situation in the city, and half of the rooms can be filled in normal times, but there are only two guests in this room today!

Because the city is haunted, the shopkeeper let the bookkeeper of Tingxue Pavilion and the others leave work early, leaving him and the cook, anyway, there is no one these days, he and the cook can deal with it!

At this moment, he was making calculations, and he heard that Xue Ge belonged to the city lord, so even if there was no one, there would be no loss, but this income was a little bleak!

Squeak!

Just when he was dozing, the half-closed door of Tingxue Pavilion was pushed open, although there was a city lord in Tingxue Pavilion, and he would hardly encounter danger, but he was also quite vigilant, and as soon as the door opened, he woke up!

I just saw the three people who entered the door, led by two beautiful girls, and now the drowsiness was gone, so I heard the woman in charge ask: "Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to stay here for a night?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he subconsciously replied: "One person has one spirit stone a day, and he also eats it!"

Zhao Ya heard the words and handed three spirit stones to the slightly chubby shopkeeper, I don't know why, Lin Meng found that as long as the shopkeeper of the restaurant is a little fat, is it because he eats too much or because he exercises less? Or both!

The shopkeeper accepted the money and retracted his gaze, these three people looked like they had different temperaments, "What do you want to eat?"

Hearing this, Lin Meng leaned over, "Can you eat as you please?"

The shopkeeper smiled when he heard this, "Of course not, three people and three dishes, the portion is full, and the taste is not bad, I saw three faces, it is estimated that it is the first time to come to Syracuse!

"Okay, shopkeeper, just bring us three of your specialties here!

"You can rest assured, how about the non-repeating peak snow mountain specialties, steamed ice venison, snow lotus, and boiled ice bear meat?"

When Lin Meng heard this, he asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you feel that you will lose these dishes!"

The shopkeeper smiled: "No loss, ice venison and ice bear meat are raised and slaughtered in the city, and snow lotus is also planted in a large area, and they are all ordinary ingredients!"

Lin Meng nodded, this is about the same, then this person has a lot of money with a spirit stone!

"Senior sister, what do you think?"

Lin Meng noticed that when he called Senior Sister and Senior Sister, the shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, if Lin Meng hadn't been staring at it, he wouldn't have noticed, but he didn't care when he saw it!

"Yes!

When the shopkeeper heard this, he shouted to the back kitchen: "Cook, the old three!"

"Gotcha!"

Then Lin Meng and the others heard a burst of voices from behind, it should be that the cook started cooking!

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Meng and the three of them again, "A few guest officers, there are seven floors in Tingxue Pavilion, the first and second floors are places to eat, and the above are all guest rooms, except for the seventh floor, how many floors are you going to live on?"

Zhao Wenwen asked, "Why can't you live on the seventh floor?"

"There is only one room on the seventh floor, and it is already occupied!"

Zhao Ya opened his mouth and said, "Then the sixth floor!"

The shopkeeper agreed, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the back kitchen to urge!"

Lin Meng and the three of them found a table on the first floor and sat down, and when they saw that the shopkeeper had gone to the back kitchen, they began to discuss how to get rid of the ghost envoys in Snow City!

Zhao Ya was the first to speak: "The news I got from the guards is that half a month ago, a young woman who lived near Tingxue Pavilion was victimized, she was insulted before she was victimized, and her whole body essence and blood were sucked dry, and that woman is not a mortal yet, she has a certain amount of cultivation, and she should be about three levels of qi cultivation!"

"Then in the next two days, three women were victimized one after another, their symptoms were similar to the first woman, a total of four people, only one was a mortal, and the other three were more or less cultivated!"

"The city lord used to be a member of our sword sect, but after he got older, he retreated to Snow City to be the city lord, his cultivation should be in the middle of the condensation realm, according to the guard, the ghost was caught by the city lord after committing the murder on the third day!"

"After the two fought, because the city lord was older, he was also secretly injured, although he injured the ghost envoy, but he was also injured, that is, when the ghost envoy was entangled by the city lord, there was another victim, but this victim was only a mortal!"

"So the people in Snow City suddenly panicked, most of them were mortals who didn't have any cultivation, even the strongest city lord was injured, so during this time, the ordinary hunters who came in all ran away!

"Especially if there are women among them, from the previous victims, these two ghost clans like to attack women with cultivation, but one of the ghost clan's cultivation can be determined to be in the middle of the condensation realm, and the other is uncertain, but it is definitely not more than the middle of the condensation realm, otherwise they can join forces to kill the city lord, in this way, there will be no one in this snow city who can stop them from sucking essence blood!"

Lin Meng was actually very puzzled, and finally asked the doubts in his heart: "Senior sister, in fact, I don't understand, why are there so many people in our Sword Sect, logically speaking, there should be many inner disciples, but among the various towns in the Great Cangguo, the highest cultivation is only in the middle of the condensation realm, and the number of people will not exceed two!"

"If there are three to five mid-stage Condensation Realm monks stationed in a city, even if you add those old people, you won't be troubled like this by one or two ghost clans who have cultivated as ghost envoys!"

Lin Meng discovered when he was on a mission for the first time that the strongest cultivation in a town was only in the middle of the Condensation Realm, and this was the case with Senior Sister Ye's Lijia Town when he was on a mission, and the same was true of this Snow City, so it seemed that thinking about the mission again, most towns were probably like this!

Zhao Ya pondered for a moment, she didn't expect Lin Meng to ask her this question, and finally spoke slowly, "Two reasons, one is that most of the senior brothers of our Sword Sect have gone to more important places, because of them, there are only so few ghost clans who can successfully sneak into the Great Cangguo, and the other reason is that this is also an opportunity for you to practice, after you become a Condensation Realm cultivator, after you complete the tasks of the Condensation Realm three times, you will be sent by the Sword Sect to those more important places I said!"

"What, sister, where are you going?"

Obviously, Zhao Ya had never told Zhao Wenwen about this matter, and Lin Meng also learned the specific information from Zhao Ya's mouth, "Therefore, the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm is only qualified to know the truth, but to really participate, you also need the cultivation of the Condensate Realm!"

Zhao Ya glanced at Zhao Wenwen and explained: "Before you know, Lin Meng's sword master, Senior Sister Ye, you don't know, she has gone to a Jindan True Inheritance, I definitely need to go too!

Zhao Wenwen's mood is obviously a little low, this is the second time that Zhao Ya has performed a mission after becoming a condensate realm, so it seems that if there is another time, she will be left alone at that time!

Zhao Ya smiled gently: "What are you crying for, because I am your identity as the sword master, I can wait until your sword childhood is in time before going to those places, this is also the benefit of the sword master, otherwise you think that so many of our outer gates that want to break through the condensation realm will accept you as a sword boy, take you on a mission together, and protect you?"

"Most of you will go through this phase in the future!"

Lin Meng was also listening, Zhao Ya's words were obviously for the two of them, after this mission was over, he was ready to go to the Demon Tower, and he would naturally know the truth at that time, so Lin Meng was not particularly anxious!

"Okay, back to this task, there is only one cultivator in the condensation realm in this snow city, why did the guard at the city gate recommend us to come to Tingxue Pavilion to live, combined with the scope of the previous victim, it is certain that most of the ghost clan in the ghost envoy realm is near Tingxue Pavilion! In order to stop him, the city lord should also live in Tingxue Pavilion, so that guard will recommend us to listen to Xuege!"

Zhao Wenwen was puzzled when she heard this, "But that ghost envoy is nearby, isn't it very dangerous?"

Zhao Ya said with a smile: "No matter how dangerous it is, there is also a city lord here who is also a condensate realm cultivator, as long as that ghost envoy comes forward, the city lord will take action, but in other places, because he is not sure of the scope of another ghost clan, it is dangerous!, so he will recommend us to live here!"

"This can be seen from the list of victims in the last two days, the victims are a distance away from the Tingxue Pavilion, and the cultivation of the other ghost clan should not exceed the early stage of the Condensation Realm, after all, only the patrols in the city will save people!"

"Since the city lord is here, why don't the other people in the city come to live in Tingxue Pavilion?"

"It's very simple, one is the price of a spirit stone, a spirit stone is not cheap even for you! The other is that most of the other people in the city don't know that the city lord is here!"

Zhao Ya seemed very patient, she needed to teach Lin Meng and Zhao Wenwen the cautious attitude and some logic when performing tasks, especially Zhao Wenwen, even if she had done a lot of tasks, there were still many things that she couldn't understand!

This is the meaning of the existence of the Qingyun Sword Sect's sword boy system, so that when new disciples go out alone to perform tasks in the future, they will not be easy to fall into traps!

On the seventh floor of the Snow Pavilion, the shopkeeper knocked on the door outside a room!

"Master!"

In the room, the old man with a long beard opened his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"There are three people downstairs who call themselves senior brothers and sisters!"

"Oh!" the old man touched his beard when he heard this, "you can entertain you normally!"

"Yes!

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went down, he was the apprentice of this old man in Snow City, and he barely had a talent for cultivating immortals, but for more than 20 years, he had only practiced to the triple level of qi cultivation, of course, the old man taught him to accept him as an apprentice in order to better manage the Xue Pavilion, and the second was to think that he would die and someone would send him to the end!

The old man thought, "Is it the sword who sent someone?"

Lin Meng and Zhao Wenwen listened to Zhao Ya's analysis of the information obtained from this mission and the conclusions that could be drawn, and saw the shopkeeper come out with a vegetable plate.

"The three of them are objective, the dishes are up, they are all here, please use them slowly!"

Lin Meng and the others tried the poison with the pill and simply ate it, and the taste was still a bit unique!

After a few people had eaten, Zhao Ya gave Lin Meng a yellow talisman and then went to the room on the sixth floor, Zhao Ya decided to go out late at night to explore the situation, as for Lin Meng and Zhao Wenwen were guarding the Xue Pavilion, after all, there was a city lord of the Condensate Realm here!

At night, when approaching Zi, Lin Meng saw a figure rushing out of the room by the window, and he knew that Zhao Ya had gone out to inquire about the situation!

Seeing this, Lin Meng went back to bed to cultivate and recuperate!

"Roar!"

"Ahh

It didn't take long for a roaring cry to come from the houses next to the Snow Pavilion!

Lin Meng immediately jumped up from the bed, looked out the window, and saw an old man jumping from the seventh floor with a whisk and running towards the place where the sound came from!

Lin Meng didn't follow immediately, and looked at Zhao Wenwen's side, at this time, Zhao Wenwen also heard the movement and poked her head out, "Let's go!"

The two of them only have the cultivation of the Qi Cultivation Realm, and they have not yet reached the Condensation Realm, so they can't jump from the top without being injured, so the two of them plan to jump off the floor by floor!

It's just that as soon as I jumped to the fifth floor, I saw that the two of them also climbed out of the window on the fifth floor, and it seemed that their thoughts were the same as Lin Meng's!

"What a coincidence!"
