Although the sudden fire was quickly controlled, the billowing smoke still shrouded the corridor on the second floor, Liu Tiandong and Murong Hui did not move, the two of them covered their mouths and noses with one hand, and at the same time raised their heads to look overhead. Because just above the top of the porch outside the door of that room, a square opening suddenly appeared. The opening was not large, but it was square enough for one person to enter and exit, and it was obvious that it was a passage to the third floor.

"Could it be that the black shadow that suddenly appeared just now and disappeared in an instant came from here?"

At this moment, I saw a bright light suddenly flash in the square hole, and then something fell from it, Liu Tiandong and Murong Hui subconsciously took a step back, and then looked carefully again, it turned out to be a soft ladder hanging down from top to bottom.

"There's someone up there!" Murong Hui said in a low voice.

Isn't this obvious, and such a posture is clearly for the two of them to go up. At this point, Liu Tiandong and Murong Hui just exchanged glances and they both understood.

At this time, he didn't care whether there was danger or not, and finding Heshan was the most important thing, so Murong Hui took the lead, and the two of them climbed the soft ladder one after the other. Out of vigilance, Murong Hui held the sword in his hand, and Liu Tiandong followed.

The soft ladder is not long, and in less than a minute, two people have drilled through the square hole, and Liu Tiandong has been paying attention to the situation on it, and at the same time, he has stretched himself out of the exit with both arms.

The third floor is darker, but the layout seems to be similar to the second floor, and there is also a circular corridor connecting several rooms together, the only difference is that you can't look down from the third floor, because the connection between the second floor and the third floor is blocked by a layer of wooden boards, so the smoke on the second floor is only a small amount of smoke coming up, of course, the light in this floor is even worse, Liu Tiandong took a cursory look, and still didn't find where the stairs were.

"It's strange, could it be that you can only go up and down the stairs through that little hole? ”

"Haha, two, you're finally here!" Liu Tiandong was still thinking nonsense, when he suddenly heard a burst of laughter, and then a figure flashed in front of the two.

"It's him! It's that shopkeeper!" Liu Tiandong immediately saw his face clearly through the oil lamp in the man's hand, and secretly exclaimed in his heart.

However, at this time, the shopkeeper has completely changed his appearance, and he is no longer the guy who stood outside the store door and flattered the servile with a servile face, but has a little more righteousness.

However, it is still impossible to judge whether this guy is friend or foe, so Liu Tiandong and Murong Hui are still very vigilant, and after observing left and right, they found that there seemed to be only one shopkeeper, so Liu Tiandong asked him: "Who are you?

"Hehe, did you ask this knowingly, or did you really forget?" the shopkeeper smiled, and then asked Liu Tiandong an inexplicable word.

"He actually called me 'you', what's the matter, is there anything wrong with this?"

"You don't have to be pretentious, I'll ask you again if the child who was with us was robbed by you. Without waiting for Liu Tiandong to ask again, he listened to Murong Hui ask sharply, and pointed the tip of the sword in his hand at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper glanced at Murong Hui and said lightly: "Fengmen disciple, please don't be impatient." Then he said to the two of them, "Come with me, both of you!" and turned and walked deeper into the hallway.

"Hmph, I want to see what tricks this guy is playing?" Murong Hui looked at the back of the shopkeeper and said in a low voice, and then followed.

"Wait, I think it's better to be careful, wait ......" Liu Tiandong wanted to hold Murong Hui to discuss, but he didn't expect this girl to be more anxious than a man, and he didn't wait for him to speak, and he threw Liu Tiandong away in a few steps, but helplessly, Liu Tiandong had to chase quickly.

Because the corridor is circular, only an oil lamp hangs on the top of the corridor in the distance, and there is almost a little wick burned on the lamp, and the light emitted is very limited, sometimes bright and sometimes dark. The shopkeeper was also holding a lamp, but the guy walked quickly, and the light was fluttering like a ghost fire, so that Liu Tiandong, who was walking at the end, could only see a general direction, and the rest of the third floor was almost shrouded in dimness. Originally, in this kind of unclear situation, we should work as a team and be more careful, but Murong Hui just threw Liu Tiandong and chased him out first, there was no way, he had to speed up his pace and grope along the corridor in the direction of the firelight, fortunately, the distance between Liu Tiandong and Murong Hui was not too far, and the back was faintly visible, and he should be able to catch up after walking out for a while. It's just that Liu Tiandong walked and walked, and saw that Murong Hui in front of him just turned a corner, and her figure disappeared suddenly along with the fire in the shop, and Liu Tiandong's eyes were instantly shrouded in a layer of gray mist, and the only thing that was visible was the faint light emitted by the oil lamp hanging on the roof of the corridor in front of him.

Liu Tiandong stopped his steps and didn't dare to go any further, thinking to himself, "Didn't Murong Hui follow the shopkeeper into a certain guest room?"

"Miss Mu Rong, where are you Miss Mu Rong?" ...... you!" Liu Tiandong shouted into the darkness with a suppressed voice, but halfway through his words, he was choked back by a black shadow that appeared out of thin air in front of him. At this time, Liu Tiandong clearly saw that in the shadow under the oil lamp in front of him, there was a person standing motionless.

Liu Tiandong felt the hairs on his back stand up suddenly, forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart, gathered his eyes and looked at it again. It is indeed a person, although he can't see his facial features clearly, judging from the shape and appearance of this person, he is neither Murong Hui, nor the shopkeeper or the fat shopkeeper, nor even any person Liu Tiandong has seen in the inn, because this person only has one arm.

"Who??, who are you?" Liu Tiandong asked at the black shadow.

"Hey, hey, hey!" only heard a series of ugly laughs from the black shadow, but it also confirmed Liu Tiandong's judgment: he was a person.

"Hmph, since I'm a human, I have nothing to fear, if he wants to be unfavorable to me, there is no need to wait until now, let alone lead us to the third floor of the inn, but why did Murong Hui suddenly disappear? Could it be ......!"

Thinking of this, Liu Tiandong suddenly felt that it seemed that all this was not simple, as if someone was deliberately manipulating the whole thing, and it seemed that Murong Hui had said that Liu Tiandong was the key to the problem.

"Did the person surnamed Zheng find me so soon?"

So, Liu Tiandong stabilized his mind again, and said to the black shadow again: "I said, you still don't pretend to be a ghost, what are you going to do? Where are their companions? If you are looking for me, then please let everyone who has nothing to do with it!"

In Liu Tiandong's imagination, the black shadow would definitely laugh wildly after hearing these words, and even reveal a hideous and terrifying face hidden in the darkness, and then gently waved his only arm, and Liu Tiandong was easily subdued. However, he didn't expect the real situation to make Liu Tiandong completely overwhelmed.

The black shadow not only did not go crazy, but trembled slightly, so that in the end, Liu Tiandong heard him let out a soft sigh.

"Hey, don't you really know an old friend?"

Liu Tiandong was immediately stunned, and quickly pondered every word in the black shadow words in his mind.

"Who is he? Why do you ask like that? Will I meet acquaintances in this day and age?"
