Outside the house, lightning and thunder, because a few palace lamps fell during the fight just now, the inside of the hall became dim, Zuo Tianyou stared at the burning place of the night with the not-so-bright light to take a closer look, the body of this thing has been burned into a charred ball, the raging fire just now is now only a faint reddish flame is still "crackling", under the charred-like body, the marble floor has also become pitch black, no matter how you look at it, you don't find anything abnormal.

Lao Wu stood next to Ye Zhen's corpse, walked over in a few steps, picked up a fallen table leg and pulled it twice, and picked up something from a pile of black charcoal.

Zuo Tianyou came down from the second floor, walked up to take a look, and found that the thing was lying in Lao Wu's rough palm, crystal clear, and the whole body was slightly blue, about the size of an ordinary pill.

"What is this??" Old Wu asked curiously.

Zuo Tianyou picked it up, rubbed it in his hand, and looked at the light on it and said: "This thing doesn't look like a demon pill, the demon pill is softer, this one is too hard, and the demon pill is either white or a little red, this thing is transparent throughout, and it glows blue, I really can't tell what it is." ”

Lao Wu took it over, rubbed it back and forth on his clothes a few times, saw that it was a lot cleaner, and it was more brilliant, and happily handed it to Zuo Tianyou, and said in a very pleasant tone: "What's the matter, keep it, maybe when it will be useful." Zuo Tianyou thought about it too, so he put it away.

At this time, Zuo Tianyou remembered what Lao Wu said when he was fighting the fire, and turned his head and asked: "The fire burned so badly just now, how do you know that the inn is not bad?" This question Zuo Tianyou has been muttering in his stomach when he is extinguishing the fire.

Lao Wu was stunned for a moment, and waited before he said, "Don't you know about this? I thought the shopkeeper had already told you." Our inn has been burned by fire before, and the fire this time is much more powerful than this time, and it is also in the middle of the night, a fireball falls from the sky, and the fire burns straight to the third floor, and the neighbors all rush to help. I remember it was raining too, and it was raining very hard, about the same as tonight's rain, and a group of people saved the night and put out the fire early in the morning. At that time, I felt that the inn was completely finished, and such a good shop was reduced to ashes, and it was not a pity for the neighbors! But as soon as the morning dawned, everyone found that the inn was still in good condition, but the outside was blackened. Later, I wiped the black ash inside and out with a young guy who was newly recruited at that time for almost seven or eight days from top to bottom and from the inside out. After wiping it up, the neighbors came to see it, and they were all amazed that our inn was still the same as before!"

After listening to this, Zuo Tianyou thought that according to Lao Wu's words, the inn is indeed extraordinary and will not burn out, otherwise such a big fire cannot only blacken the inside and outside, no matter how you say it, it should be burned to the point that there is only a shelf left. Compared with the fire in the past, tonight's fire is indeed not enough to worry about, not to mention that the fire is small, even the walls on all sides of the lobby have not been blackened, but a lot of tables, chairs and stools have been lost, and they will be able to return to their original state the day after tomorrow.

But it is clear that a three-story inn with a brick and wood structure can be intact in the raging fire? Lao Wu still did not explain this question clearly, Zuo Tianyou could hear that Lao Wu only knew one of them, but did not know the other, and he was afraid that only the shopkeeper could understand one or two points, and it was useless to ask Lao Wu again.

Thinking of this, Zuo Tianyou stopped asking, bent down to pick up a round table, and prepared to start cleaning up the lobby.

Lao Wu looked at the things on the ground, sighed, and said to Zuo Tianyou: "Alas! This look, we can't clean it up for a while, it's not too early, you just came back again, and you had a fight, you definitely can't open the door tomorrow, get up in the morning and get it again." ”

As soon as Lao Wu said this, Zuo Tianyou also felt a little weak, so he nodded and said to Lao Wu: "I'll go and see the shopkeeper first, I saw that his face was not good just now, you can bring a pot of tea." With that, he went up to the second floor.

A row of rooms on the second floor against the railing, until now when I reached out to touch the outside wall, it was still hot, Zuo Tianyou came up a few steps and went directly into the shopkeeper's room.

At this moment, the shopkeeper was lying on the bed, his face was a little bad, and he coughed a little from time to time.

"Shopkeeper, the fire outside is out, you can rest in peace, I'm back, I'm in charge of the inn outside, you can relax and recuperate." Zuo Tianyou sat on the edge of the shopkeeper's bed, looking at the tired appearance of the shopkeeper, and knew that he was not there these days, and there were often people who came to the door to make trouble, which must have made the shopkeeper work a lot, or his face would not be so bad at this time, so thinking about Zuo Tianyou felt a little unbearable.

At this moment, Lao Wu came up with a pot of hot tea, Zuo Tianyou opened the lid of the pot and saw that it was a marrow washing tea that he didn't drink very often, and said strangely: "Why did you make this tea?

Lao Wu glanced at the shopkeeper's bed and found that the shopkeeper was resting with his eyes closed, so he whispered in Zuo Tianyou's ear: "Since you went out for more than ten days, the shopkeeper's body has not been very good, and there is constant trouble, so the shopping in the store has long been stopped." ”

Zuo Tianyou then understood why Lao Wu had such a big opinion on Bufeng's drinking of black grass tea, it turned out that the shopkeeper had not gone out to buy goods for a long time.

I was about to say something to Lao Wu again, when I suddenly remembered Bu Feng in the lobby, so I asked Lao Wu, "Where is Bu Feng?"

Lao Wu nodded and said, "There is an old bed in the room where we pile up groceries, and I will send him to lie down there first." Don't worry about it. ”

Lao Wu sent tea and went downstairs, Zuo Tianyou saw that the shopkeeper didn't open his eyes, so he put the teapot aside first, and the whole person leaned on a chair of eight immortals and closed his eyes to rest.

There was almost no rest in the past ten or twenty days, Zuo Tianyou closed his eyes and slept until dawn, and woke up to find that he was no longer on the Eight Immortals chair, but lying on the bed of the shopkeeper.

Zuo Tianyou sat up with a carp, looked around, the shopkeeper was not there, got out of bed and walked to the table, and found that the marrow tea in the pot had not moved.

After a few steps downstairs, I saw that Lao Wu had already cleaned up, and walked forward and said, "Where is the shopkeeper?"

Lao Wu saw that it was Zuo Tianyou, and said with a smile: "You just woke up, the shopkeeper went out early in the morning, and when he left, he ordered to finish the lobby today, and open the door tomorrow to welcome guests." ”

"Last night, I saw that the shopkeeper's face was not very good, I originally planned to go outside today to invite a doctor, why did he go out by himself early in the morning?

Lao Wu shook his head: "The shopkeeper's face is not very good, but his spirit is okay, he didn't say anything when he left, he just gave a word and went out." ”

Zuo Tianyou remembered that the last time he won the Immortal Society, when he went to the well to place the Zhen Gu card, he saw that the shopkeeper's body was in a bad loss, and that deficit was obviously a weakness caused by excessive consumption of internal force, but there was nothing in the store that would consume a lot of internal force, especially for a monk, this idea was not even a basic refining work, so Zuo Tianyou had always felt very confused about this.

And the whereabouts of the shopkeeper have always been very mysterious, which Zuo Tianyou has an impression of when he came here.

I don't know if the shopkeeper will consume internal force after every time he goes out, he rarely paid attention to this in the past, Zuo Tianyou suddenly felt that he was ignoring a lot of situations under his nose in the store, and he was too careless.

Because even if Zuo Tianyou has been in trouble with him recently, and he has no time to take care of the things in the store, the shopkeeper is very busy, and he will not be so tired that he is bedridden, but last night's face was not caused by ordinary hard work, this shop and the shopkeeper have an indescribable weirdness, Zuo Tianyou feels that he is really worried about internal and external troubles now.

Just when Zuo Tianyou was pondering in his heart, the hidden door was kicked open with a "bang", and a ray of extremely strong sunlight instantly shone in, Zuo Tianyou suddenly squinted his eyes, and when he opened his eyes to see, he saw four or five long-haired monks wearing black straight shirts standing at the door, each wearing a small gilt mask, and the momentum was violent, and he knew that the person who came was not good at a glance.
