Volume 8 Chapter 1 Rumors of Evil Ghosts
(Most of this volume was done in a state of altitude sickness in Tibet, and there may be parts of gibberish)
The weather is getting cooler, and the sky is getting darker and darker. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But just after the hour, the sun is approaching the western mountains. The weather in southern Fujian is humid and hot, such as autumn, and I haven't seen much comfort.
A wine shop in the suburbs. There shouldn't be any drinkers at this time, and besides, this place is remote, only a few villages and towns around, and it is not prosperous. The hotel's business has been tepid, but it has been able to make ends meet. Shopkeeper Chen has long been accustomed to the days when the sun rises and closes when the sun sets.
However, at this moment, on a table by the window, there was a young man sitting who had been drinking for a long time. The dishes on the table have also bottomed out, but the wine has not yet been drunk. Not only was he drinking, but he was also drinking, as if he was drinking some jade liquid, and he was reluctant to drink it in one sip, so he had to sip it little by little.
Shopkeeper Chen leaned listlessly against the counter, listening to the sound of the man drinking, but his heart was a little irritable. He was a little strange before, the wine in the store was home-brewed rice wine, although it was not bad, but it was not as good as this son. Besides, although this son is a little plainly dressed, he knows at a glance that he has seen the world, how can he be addicted to this kind of turbid wine?
Later, I learned that the son who dared to love this son was shy, so he only ordered a pot of wine, and actually drank it until now. The more the shopkeeper Chen thought about it, the more annoyed he became, if it weren't for him, maybe he would have closed the door and hugged his daughter-in-law at this time. And he shuddered at the thought of that strange thing, if he hadn't closed the door earlier, in case he ......
When the shopkeeper Chen thought of this, he was shocked, and he couldn't care about offending people anymore, so he got up and was about to coax this uninteresting drinker. He stood beside the young man, pondering his words. But the boy didn't notice it, and continued to drink.
Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "Guest officer, are you still satisfied with this wine and food?"
Gongzi raised his head and said with a smile: "Very good, very good! This is the first time I have come to Jianzhou, and I can't imagine that the home-brewed rice wine here actually has a unique flavor, spicy but not spicy, sweet and refreshing! Sure enough, it is the same as the customs and customs here, and has a unique style!"
Shopkeeper Chen listened to his praise sincerely, and he couldn't say anything about coaxing people. He sneered and said, "Listening to the guest official's accent, aren't you a local?
Childe nodded and said, "Come and find a friend, it can be regarded as a visit! It's just because I missed lunch at noon today that I bothered your store." I didn't expect to have an unexpected surprise!"
Shopkeeper Chen didn't say anything in his mouth, but muttered in his heart: You are surprised, drink it for a while, but I am afraid that it will become frightened. He said: "Guest officer, look! When you go out to the left, you will find Shangang Village, and to the south will be Lingshui Town. If you're fast, you'll be there before dark. ”
Gongzi followed the finger of the shopkeeper Chen, nodded, and asked, "What is the shopkeeper's words?"
Shopkeeper Chen simply said: "Guest officer, you see that my tavern has such a lobby and no guest rooms. If the guest officer does not find a place to stay earlier, he will have no place to live. ”
Childe wondered: "It's still early, and the shopkeeper is going to drive me out?"
Shopkeeper Chen looked left and right, as if he was afraid that the partition wall had ears, and lowered his voice again, and said, "Don't hide it, there is a rocky hill not far from here." It's haunted! Childe should hurry up during the day, or he will be caught by the evil ghost as soon as it gets dark!"
When the young man saw the cautious appearance of the shopkeeper Chen, he couldn't help but be a little amused. But he finally held back and said: "Shopkeeper, I'm afraid of trouble first, and I'm afraid of women second, but I'm not afraid of ghosts." Tell me, what the hell is it that scares you like this?"
This young man is naturally Su Zhuo. He missed a move in Junshan Chess, failed to expose the conspiracy of Wanli Gambling House, and was defeated by Wei Xiu for half a month. In the past half month, a group of Jianghu figures led by Du Qingfeng in Junshan have publicized this matter everywhere, and finally broke the rumor that Su Zhuo was the smartest person in the Jianghu. Even many people who have never met Su Zhuo think that Su Zhuo is just a small person who sells his reputation and exaggerates.
When the rumors reached Su Zhuo's ears, he didn't care. He's not a fan-chanting person in the first place, so there's nothing wrong with returning to basics. And he came to the Wuyi Mountain area of Jianzhou, naturally because of that mysterious letter. For the sake of Huaping, even if there is a Longtan tiger's den here, you have to break through. Besides, there is no Longtan Tiger's Den here, but there is just a Juyi Villa!
Seeing Su Zhuo's disapproving expression, Shopkeeper Chen sneered in his heart: Young people are young people, and you are not ashamed to speak up, when you really bump into a ghost, I am afraid that you will cry for your father and mother.
However, sneering and ridiculing, the shopkeeper Chen still had to persuade him a few words: "Master Su, you must think I'm joking, right? Don't you believe it, do you know what kind of place this chaotic stone hill is? In fact, it is said to be a mountain hill, compared with this reckless Wuyi Mountain, but it is a slope." You see that there are many trees here, but there are no big trees on this rocky hill, only small grass. I was born and raised here, and I only saw trees on the rocky hill ten years ago, and then they all withered!
Su Zhuo was very interested, and only listened to the strange talk of the village. However, there are no big trees on this mountain, which is indeed a bit peculiar. The climate here is hot and humid, and it should be very good for trees to grow, but how can trees wither?
Shopkeeper Chen chatted together, simply sat opposite Su Zhuo, and continued: "Some time ago, at night, there would be ghost fires floating near the rocky hill. I'm not talking nonsense, a lot of people have seen it. There were no trees to shelter it, and at night, it was cloudy and windy. Ghostly fire, floating around......"
When he said this, he felt a chill down his spine, trembling slightly, and continued: "Half a month ago, the head of the Wuyi Sword Sect, Lu Qingchen, suddenly died violently! Have you heard of this matter?"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "I have heard a little about this matter, but there are different opinions on the specific situation. ”
Shopkeeper Chen said: "The Wuyi Sword Sect is only seven or eight miles away from here, we all know what's going on in this matter, we just don't dare to say it!
Su Zhuo finally put away his indifferent face and turned up. Lu Qingchen's death, he had already heard about it on the way here. There are rumors in the rivers and lakes, and many people say that Lu Qingchen had a grudge with Qu Shengzhou, the owner of Juyi Villa, and was killed by Qu Shengzhou.
As the two largest sects in the southeast, the Wuyi Sword Sect and Juyi Villa have been neighbors for more than ten years, and they have always been a little ugly. After all, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and it is fortunate that the two major sects are together and do not fight upside down.
As soon as Su Zhuo heard the news of Lu Qingchen's death, he already realized that this trip was not easy, and he was faintly worried. So he took precautions and immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Shaolin, hoping to catch up......
However, the shopkeeper of this small hotel actually said that he knew the truth, which also surprised Su Zhuo. He asked: "Shopkeeper, how did this Lu Master be killed by a powerful ghost, you can tell me and hear it!"
Shopkeeper Chen was just about to speak, but suddenly he couldn't speak, and the corners of his mouth trembled a little. He was sitting in front of the door, and he was the first to see anyone coming in from outside the door. At this time, a person happened to run in from outside the door.
As soon as the man stood at the door, the shopkeeper Chen was speechless, and then his whole body trembled.
