Chapter 5: The Turmoil
Dragon Gate City!
Longmen City is the border of the Eastern Ming Empire, the border fortress of the Great Chu State, the population of the city alone is more than 200,000, very prosperous, and the merchants and monks who come and go are endless.
The Dragon Gate Inn is the most luxurious inn in Longmen City, covering an extremely wide area, with a total of four floors, and the upper three floors are private rooms. The higher you go, the more luxurious it becomes, and the first floor is a hall with a radius of nearly 100 meters, which is extremely noisy, and more than a dozen shop juniors are very busy. Most of the guests on this floor are peddlers, pawns, and unknown monks.
Near the window, a young guest stands out slightly. He was dressed in green clothes, his long black and thick hair was pulled up very casually, and he was carrying a big knife on his back. On his table sat a small beast more than a foot long, it looked like a fox, but there were fins on both sides of its back, which was very peculiar, there was no doubt that it was Lu Yan and Xiaobai.
They walked for nearly ten days before they came out of the forest and saw people. Lu Yan also wrapped the handle of the ghost head knife with strips of cloth so that no one would recognize it and add to the trouble. Then he sold the furs he had hunted for more than a month and exchanged them for a lot of silver taels. After buying a few sets of new clothes, they came to this inn, and as if they hadn't eaten for a long time, they ate only the whole sheep in large gulps, and from time to time they also competed for wine.
Such an interesting scene naturally aroused the curiosity of many people, and they couldn't help but look at it twice, but many characters in the rivers and lakes have their own weird preferences, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but no one makes a fuss. Of course, there are also people who have a look of disdain or disgust on their faces, and secretly disdain. However, Lu Yan didn't mind the different performances of various people, and still chewed heavily.
"Hillbilly!"
A young man in white, with oily hair and powdered face, holding a paper fan in his hand, looks like a handsome boy. When passing by Lu Yan's side, he glanced at him with disdain. But when he looked at Xiaobai on the table again, he seemed to recognize its extraordinary, and asked quite arrogantly: "Hey! I want that little guy, let's make a price!"
Lu Yan didn't even look at him, treated him like air, and continued to fight with Xiaobai.
"Friend, my son-in-law is asking you questions, don't be ignorant!" Seeing that Lu Yan was not on the road at all, the middle-aged man who looked like a guard behind the young man walked up to him and said with an unkind face.
The other drinkers who noticed the movement here cast interested eyes and expressions of watching the play.
"You can really encounter this kind of bloody plot!" Lu Yan smiled secretly, but said in his mouth, "Let's sit down and talk!"
"Huh!" The middle-aged guard didn't see how Lu Yan made a move at all, and his shoulders were firmly grasped. He was about to resist but felt a strong force coming from his shoulder, and the true strength that had just been condensed immediately collapsed, and then he sat down with a thud. The bench under his stomach creaked, and the middle-aged guard wanted to break free, but Lu Yan's white palm was like a dragon's claw, pinching him firmly, and he couldn't break free at all.
And Lu Yan's other hand was still holding the mutton, munching heavily, as if he was subduing a middle-aged man with a seventh-layer cultivation of qi storage, but it was just a casual matter.
"Boy, what tricks have you used, let him go quickly!" It seems that this son is not only arrogant, but also very stupid, and he has not yet recognized the form in front of him.
"The fourteenth prince of the Dongming Empire is a relative of my son-in-law, you'd better hand over that little thing obediently, and then apologize!" said the middle-aged monk fearlessly.
"Seeing that your strength is good, kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistakes, maybe I will accept you as a puppy!" The man in white raised his chin slightly, and continued very conceitedly.
"The origin is extraordinary! It seems that I can't raise tigers for trouble!" Lu Yan took a sip of wine, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually prevailed, the five-colored brilliance of his left hand flashed, and the middle-aged guard snorted, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
However, Lu Yan's ears suddenly moved, but he didn't kill again, he glanced at the two of them coldly, let go of his hand, and shouted softly: "Get out!"
The boy in white still wanted to say something, but Xiaobai jumped on his shoulder like lightning, and made a strange scream, the man in white's eyes were full of panic and horror, his face became pale, his lower placket was wet, and a stream of stench came, and then under the leadership of the guard, he walked out of the door in a hurry.
Lu Yan picked up the wine in front of him, frowned slightly, and just when he was about to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he felt a powerful blood qi, locked himself, and seemed to be ready to shoot at any time!
"Who could it be!, that childe guard, not like it!" Lu Yan rubbed his chin, puzzled.
Just as he was entangled, in a secret room nearly 100 meters deep in the bottom of the hall, an old man in sackcloth opened his eyes, shook his head with a smile, and seemed to say to himself: "Genius character, strange little beast!
Then gently squirm your lips.
Lu Yan, who was pondering, only heard a voice penetrate into his ear: "This little brother, the old man has no intention of targeting anyone, it's just that the Dragon Gate Inn has rules that prohibit people from fighting and killing,!"
"Transmission into a line!" Lu Yan was shocked in his heart, the Dragon Gate Inn was really not simple, the other party was at least a viscera stronger. He didn't dare to hold it up, so he immediately returned the salute with his fists, and said in an inaudible voice: "I'm sorry, forgive me!"
The old man smiled, and said no more
From the man in white causing trouble, to the fact that he couldn't escape for a short time, except for a few people with vicious eyes who paid attention to Lu Yan, everyone else saw that there was no excitement to see, so they withdrew their eyes one after another and began to discuss their respective topics.
"The haunted house is about to be born, are you interested in breaking in!" At the wine table not far from Lu Yan, there were three monks who seemed to know each other very well, and one of them said.
"I'm going to find death, it's almost the same as joining in the fun!" A big man with an open chest and exposed breasts drank wine in a big bowl and ate meat.
"I don't have a few years to live, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if I succeed, or I have a chance to break through to the cultivator, it wouldn't be a pity if I died in it!" said an old man with snow-white hair.
Anyone knows how to break into a haunted house, nine deaths, and for a while, no one can find words of comfort.
"I wonder where the haunted house will come out this time?" After a good meeting, the big man spoke again.
"It should be a million mountains!" the white-haired old man took a sip of wine and said, "According to the inference of the masters of the Ghost Valley, the place where the haunted house was born this time is the Million Mountain!"
"A million mountains!" exclaimed the middle-aged man. There were also other monks who gave them inquiring glances.
"Senior, I toast you, can you tell me about the situation of the million mountains!" a young man at the next table raised his glass excitedly. There are not a few young and frivolous teenagers in the rivers and lakes who want to make a good name.
"I don't know much about the situation of the Million Mountain!" The old monk was very satisfied with him and did half a bowl, holding his white beard in his hand and smiling, "That is the junction of the Dongming Empire and the Nanli Empire, the mountains are continuous, and there are many demon beasts living there, it is said that like the dark forest, it has existed since ancient times, and there are even more great demons at the top of the depths, even the old decay only dares to operate on the periphery!"
When the old man said this, his face looked proud, as if it was a great thing to be able to roam the periphery of a million mountains.
Then the young man asked many more inconsequential questions, and seemed to be curious about everything, and the old man did not show any impatience, and answered them all one by one.
"Haunted House" Lu Yan groaned slightly, after learning the news unexpectedly, he didn't have much interest in other strange things, and after accompanying Xiaobai to eat the whole roast sheep, he paid the money and walked out of the store......
