Chapter 244: Festival (1)

The innkeeper beckoned the three guests into the store and said with a smile:

"At this time, there are not many people who still come to stay in the hotel, and when I look at them, the three are from other places, are they the heroes who plan to come to join the Star Demon Sea Pengcheng Helm?"

Lu Junsheng has a sharp sword at his waist, a silver bird with a bent bow on his chest, and Xie Yun with a long knife on his back, so it is not surprising that the three of them are mistaken by the shopkeeper for martial artists.

Especially recently, Pengcheng has recruited talents from all over the world, and many famous masters have joined it, so it has also led to the shopkeeper's words.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Lu Junsheng said with a distressed face:

"This Pengcheng is so big, but the inn is really hard to find. You don't know, shopkeeper, we are about to turn the whole city, and only yours is still open for business. ”

The shopkeeper led the three of them to the table in the hall and said with a smile:

"It's inevitable for the New Year. Most of the owners who opened inns in our Peng City were not from the city, so as soon as the Spring Festival arrived, they naturally closed their doors and went home for the New Year. Only I, a local who is both the proprietor and the shopkeeper, will still open the door. But the guy also took leave to return home, only I came to greet the guests, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive the guests. ”

Lu Junsheng smiled:

"The shopkeeper said seriously, this is the New Year, but the three of us are bothered. ”

The shopkeeper laughed, and he went to the stove on the other side of the inn hall and added some charcoal to it, preparing hot water for making tea for the guests.

Outside the open gate of the inn is a street where vendors and stalls gather.

There is a festive red as far as the eye can see, and there are a variety of shops such as Spring Festival couplets, red blessings, firecrackers, window flowers, New Year's greeting cards, New Year's paintings, etc.

From time to time, you can still see stilts and juggling teams passing by, and at this time, there is always the sound of gongs and drums and the cheers and laughter of the people.

Lu Junsheng looked at all this, and apologized to the two companions:

"It's so bad that you can't go home for the New Year, and when the Spring Festival arrives, you're still running around with me, I'm really sorry. ”

The silver finch has a delicate body, a yellow skirt fluttering like a feather, and a thin eyebrow branch slightly upturned:

"Our demon clan is nothing more than a Spring Festival. ”

Xie Yun has a vigorous body, a well-defined face, and slightly dark skin:

"I've been wandering around for a long time, and I'm not used to celebrating the New Year for a long time. ”

Lu Junsheng smiled helplessly, and his eyes continued to turn to the busy street outside the inn:

"This city is very different from other places...... You see, there are smiles and joy on people's faces, but there is a lack of fear and worry. Such a scene is rare in the Xue Kingdom, and it seems that this Pengcheng is a peaceful and blessed land. ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with boiling hot water and made tea for the guests.

After hearing Lu Junsheng's words, the shopkeeper smiled:

"If you want to say that Pengcheng is a peaceful and blessed land today, then I strongly agree. But before that, if the guests could see Pengcheng in the midst of the plague, it would be really ...... It's terrible!"

When Lu Junsheng, Yinque and Xie Yun heard this, they couldn't help but be silent for a while.

They all knew that the horrors of the plague outbreak were like hell on earth.

Finally, Lu Junsheng said:

"Looking at the prosperity and stability of Pengcheng now, I am afraid that more than ten years have passed since the plague, right? ”

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head:

"How can it be so long, the plague has passed less than half a year. What's more, the government of Pengcheng is useless, and when the plague occurs, an exorcist is sent to preside, but the exorcist can't do anything but kill people. ”

Lu Junsheng was shocked when he heard this, the plague that even the plague exorcism envoy interfered in was by no means as simple as an ordinary plague, and there might even be plague ghosts in it.

Once such a plague broke out, how could it be possible to rebuild Pengcheng to such a point after the disaster in only half a year?

At that moment, Lu Junsheng couldn't help asking:

"And how did the plague subside?"

The shopkeeper's face began to show reverence:

"Just when the epidemic drove the wanton slaughter of the sick, it was the Jiang Duo Lord of the local Star Demon Sea who stood up. Not only did he use his wealth to help the sick, but he also went to dangerous places to find a large number of eclipse grass to save the people infected by the plague. It is really a blessing for Pengcheng to have such a person to manage Pengcheng!"

Lu Junsheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this:

"I didn't expect that among this gang, there are also such heroes who have a heart for the people and help the world and save people. ”

Even the eyes of Yinque and Xie Yun couldn't help but show admiration.

At this time, the street that suddenly heard the bustle was boiling, and it seemed that some extremely popular figure was approaching.

Lu Junsheng and the three of them couldn't help but look towards the street, could it be the rumored Jiang Duo Master?

I only heard countless vendors shouting wildly:

"Lord Shenmu, come and see my booth here, do you want to buy New Year's goods?

"It's so rusty to call 'Lord Shenmu'! According to my opinion, call 'Miss Lin'! Miss Lin, come to our store to take a look, there are new styles of clothes in the shop, this is the New Year, you have to wear new clothes!"

"Yes, Miss Lin! You are a regular customer in my store, and you know the quality and style of my jewelry! In the past two days, I suddenly found that a vermilion hairpin is particularly suitable for you, and it can definitely bring out your stunning beauty! As long as you like, I can give you a discount!"

......

In the enthusiastic shouts of the vendors, I saw a monster that looked like a man and a tree along the street and appeared in the eyes of Lu Junsheng and the others.

The monster looked like a fair girl, but she wore a brightly colored dress, and her exposed neck and face were covered with wood grains.

Under the skirt, where there should be feet, there are countless tree roots, and these black roots can drive the girl to move quickly.

Her hands, which resembled branches and even fiery red leaves in some places, wore many shining rings and bracelets.

A tall and unusually tall white-haired dog was held by the girl, and while the giant dog opened the way in front of it, it vigilantly roared at the vendors who were too close to the girl, but there was no attack.

Suddenly seeing this inhuman girl, Xie Yun, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help but squirt out the tea in his mouth:

"Demons?!"

Lu Junsheng also frowned slightly, this demon who had not yet been able to transform into a human form appeared in front of the world in such a grand manner, swaggering through the market.

Moreover...... People here seem to welcome it?

Yinque glared at Xie Yun unhappily:

"Isn't it a demon, why are you making such a fuss!"

The silver sparrow itself is also a demon clan, so it is very dissatisfied with Xie Yun's gaffe.

After a pause, she was also full of doubts:

"But...... In this way, he couldn't even transform into a human form, and he swaggered and went shopping...... Aren't you afraid, people?"

The innkeeper looked at the surprised appearance of the three of them, and couldn't help but secretly disdain and laugh in his heart, these outsiders really didn't know anything, and they didn't even know about the famous Lord Shenmu.

However, the shopkeeper still likes to see how these outsiders have never seen the world, even though he has seen too much these days.

Despite the contempt in his heart, the shopkeeper would not say it, he just smiled and said:

"The three of them didn't know that this was Lord Shenmu who had come all the way to heal the scars left by the plague on the people. Lord Shenmu's medical skills are magical, but after being healed by her, his skin is as smooth as new, and not even a trace of a scar will be left. The three of them don't have to worry, Lord Shenmu has a kind heart and a lively personality, and with the Lord Jiang Duo and the Guardian Star as a guarantor, it is impossible to harm people. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper looked at the vendors gathered around Lord Shenmu on the side of the street, and his eyes were full of envy:

"Lord Shenmu is generous, buys things cleanly, never bargains, and it is inevitable that he will be popular. It's just that I don't have a chance to be patronized by Lord Shenmu when I open an inn, and she has been living in Jiangfu. ”

After sighing, the innkeeper returned to the counter and began to beat the abacus to calculate the year's general ledger.

Lu Junsheng, Yinque and Xie Yun looked at each other when they heard this.

Demons and humans coexist peacefully, such a thing only stays at some wise man theory, but they have never seen an example in their lives.

Now Peng Cheng's trip has opened the eyes of the three of them.

All of a sudden, the three of them had their own new ideas about the future of this world.

At this time, a woman shrouded in black robes beside the dryad attracted the attention of the three of them.

The woman's outfit was too out of place on this festive street, and Lu Junsheng glanced at Xie Yun at the moment.

Xie Yun understood and took out a piece of round jade from his arms.

I saw that various colors appeared on the round jade, and each color represented a different power in the vicinity.

The three colors represent the inheritance power of Lu Junsheng and Xie Yun, and the demonic power of the silver sparrow. Another color similar to the power of the Silver Sparrow represents the Dryad.

In addition to this, there is also a stream of black that appears on the round jade, which represents evil energy.

"That's right," Xie Yun said in a low voice, "that black-robed woman is a demon. Black represents evil spirit, and she is a demon who has eaten people. ”

Silver Sparrow asked worriedly:

"Will it be ......?"

Lu Junsheng shook his head:

"No, you see, the people here, and the dryad are all familiar with the demon, if it is the demon who is chasing us, he will not have so much time to get along with people. ”

Silver Bird and Xie Yun observed carefully, although the vendor was not as enthusiastic about the black-robed woman as he was for the dryad, he also smiled or said hello from time to time, and it could be seen from the title that the black-robed woman was still the sister of the dryad.

At this time, the round jade in Xie Yun's hand suddenly changed again, and a piece of color appeared in it, and the color was so strong that it almost completely covered the color of the dryad and the black-robed woman.

"There's a powerful demon approaching!" Xie Yun exclaimed, "The aura is as unpolluted by evil qi as the tree demon." ”

Then the three of them looked down the street again.

I saw a pretty girl with a sword at her waist quickly appear, her target seemed to be the dryad, and she quickly squeezed through the crowd to the dryad, and then began to talk about something.

"What the hell is this!" Xie Yun couldn't help but mutter, "Is this Pengcheng full of demons and ghosts?"

Lu Junsheng's expression moved, and he stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly on his chest:

"The Lack of Moon Divine Bi resonated, if you guessed correctly, the long sword on the girl's waist is an artifact that recognizes the girl as the master!"

Yinque and Xie Yun glanced at each other, their faces full of surprise.

The reason why the human race in this world was able to force the demon race back to the deep mountains and lakes and occupy orthodoxy. A big reason is that most of the artifact recognition only chooses the human race, and the demon clan is often extremely difficult to be recognized by the artifact, and the demons and ghosts polluted by the evil qi have no chance.

And the demon clan that can be recognized by the artifact is undoubtedly not a genius with supernatural powers and terrifying qualifications.
