Chapter 1: Monsters in the Lake
The black fat shopkeeper quickly put away the five spirit stones on the counter, hid them closely, and walked out of the counter, ready to personally send Xiaopeng, a super distinguished guest, to the luxurious suite.
"Shopkeeper, your inn is doing well! Do you see so many monks here?" Xiao Peng glanced at the many monks on the first floor and said to the black fat shopkeeper.
"Hehe, there aren't so many people in normal times! It's only in the past two days that so many monks from other places have moved in. The fat black shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Oh, there weren't so many monks staying in there before?" Xiaopeng felt a little strange.
"Yes, in the past, very few monks frequented my inn, and most of the people who stayed in it were mortals like me. The black fat shopkeeper said.
"Oh, then why is this happening, and what are they doing here?"
"Oh, I'll send you into your room to rest first, and I'll arrange for Xiao Liu to come to your room later, he must know why so many monks are in town. The black fat shopkeeper said with a smile while taking Xiaopeng up the stairs.
The most luxurious suite is located on the third floor of the inn.
The whole suite has two large rooms, a living room and a bedroom, and a bathroom, which are exquisitely furnished
The whole suite is set up with three arrays of isolation of spiritual detection, isolation of sound, and security protection, and entering the suite is like entering a closed environment, no matter what you do in the room, people outside can't know at all, of course, any sound outside can't be transmitted into the room, and the security protection of the room can resist the strong blow of the monks in the foundation building period.
For Xiaopeng, a monk who doesn't understand the market, it only takes five spirit stones to stay in such a luxurious suite. I already feel very satisfied.
After the shopkeeper gave a detailed introduction to this luxurious suite, he was ready to leave the room.
Before leaving, he pointed to a small red ball on the wall of the living room and said to Xiaopeng, "Dao Chief." When the red ball lit up after a while, it was Xiao Liu who came over. You open the door for him with the key, and he will definitely tell you the reason. โ
Sure enough, it didn't take more than a minute for the little red ball to light up and keep flashing, Xiao Peng opened the door and let Xiao Liu in.
This Xiao Liu is actually the one who runs the hall in the inn, and often serves tea and water to the guests downstairs, so he can hear some gossip from the mouths of the guests. You say everything I say. The more you listen, the more you will understand, the reason why so many monks have gathered in the town.
Xiao Peng took out a spirit stone from the storage bag and put it on the coffee table.
"Tell me everything you know, the more detailed the better, and of course I won't treat you badly. If what you say satisfies me, then this spirit stone is yours. Xiao Peng glanced at Xiao Liu, and then said lightly.
Xiao Liu stared at the sparkling spirit stone on the coffee table, his eyes were red, and the excitement in his heart could be imagined!
"Wow! if I get this spirit stone. Then I will become a rich man? I can open a bigger inn myself, and I can marry ErY as a daughter-in-law, and let him give me a large group of babies, hehehehe......"
He's thinking about good things. Here, Xiaopeng saw him standing stupidly, and he didn't say a word, just distracted. I'm tired of waiting.
"Hey, Xiao Liu. Do you not understand the situation and can't tell it, or do you think that there is one less spirit stone?" asked Xiaopeng
Xiao Liu heard Xiao Peng's words. came back to his senses, as a runner of an inn, he still had the ability to observe words and looks, and he was a little angry when he saw Xiaopeng. immediately said to Xiaopeng with a smile, "Of course I know, I'll tell you in detail."
"Here's the thing, there is a famous family in this town called the Chang family, and it is also a family of Xiuzhen. The patriarch's name is Chang Shengjun, and he has a son named Chang Jun, who is also his only son, this Chang Jun is the hope of the Chang family's future, and he has been pinned on by Chang Shengjun since he was a child.
He didn't disappoint his father either, and he was usually diligent in cultivation, coupled with the Chang family's strong financial resources, under the careful cultivation of the family, he had already become a high-level cultivator of the sixth level of qi refining when he was twenty years old.
He was not only a high-ranking monk, but also a chivalrous monk.
Not long ago, a few townspeople went to the duckbill lake outside the town, took a small boat to catch fish and shrimp in the lake, just into the lake not far away, suddenly the lake water turned up dozens of zhang high waves, in the big waves appeared a huge monster overturned the fishing boat, rolled into the water, several people needless to say all fell into the lake.
Because it was not very far from the shore, a townsman with good water nature swam desperately to the shore in the water, and finally swam to the shore, fortunately escaping the attack of the monster and escaping the catastrophe.
The rest of them weren't so lucky, they were all eaten by the monsters, and they disappeared anyway.
This incident caused an uproar in the town for a while, and no one dared to go to Yazui Lake to fish anymore, and even the original residents near the lake were so frightened that they moved away, for fear that the monsters would come ashore and eat them.
This matter was soon known to Chang Jun, and he probably didn't believe that there were so-called monsters in the lake at all. Maybe it's young and vigorous, and he wants to get rid of the monsters in the lake with his own skills to solve the people's troubles. He told his father and decided to go alone in the duckbill lake in search of the monster.
But how could Chang Shengjun allow his precious son to venture into the lake, not only severely reprimanding him for his reckless thoughts, but also sending people to keep an eye on him, not allowing him to do that extremely dangerous thing.
This Chang Jun didn't listen to his father's advice and secretly walked out of the family to Yazui Lake. When the clansmen in charge of keeping an eye on him found that he was missing, they searched for Chang Jun all the way, inquired all the way, and learned that Chang Jun had gone to the direction of Yazui Lake, and knew that things were not good, so he immediately told Chang Shengjun the news.
As soon as Chang Shengjun heard the news, his soul flew out of the sky, and he immediately gathered the masters of the clan to go to Yazui Lake to find Chang Jun, and when the anxious Chang Shengjun arrived with the masters of the clan and searched all around Yazui Lake, where could he still find the trace of his son, there was only one possibility, that is, his son may have been killed.
But life is to see people, and death is to see corpses. It was impossible to forget it like this, and immediately sent all the masters to dive into the lake to find Chang Jun's body.
Although the masters of the clan are afraid of the monsters that may exist in the lake. But when the patriarch spoke, he could only sneak into the lake to find Chang Jun's whereabouts.
Monks are monks after all. With all their means, they can sneak in the lake for a long time, and the search range is getting bigger and bigger, but Chang Jun has not been found.
When the monks cautiously approached the center of the lake, someone suddenly noticed a huge hole with a diameter of ten meters at the bottom of the lake, and all the monks gathered around to watch, and even the bold monks wanted to go deep into the hole to see if Chang Jun's body was in this hole. Suddenly, a large, long monster sprang out of the hole.
The monster is very ferocious. Just a moment of circling of the body drove the lake around it to rotate in a vortex, and the powerful force caused by the rotation instantly threw out the monks who had not had time to react at the entrance of the cave, and there was almost no power to resist.
It also opened its mouth and roared in the lake, a sound that could only be heard by the people on the shore. But the shock wave of the roar in the lake water shook the monks dizzy.
Who has ever seen such a powerful monster! At this time, the monks in the lake, as long as they still have a breath, only have one thought, that is, to escape! Where will there be life!
Although all the monks said that one person was dizzy by the shock wave, when it came to escaping, they all had one hand, and they were a bit of a magic weapon. Rely on magic weapons to shoot to the shore, and some activate short-distance teleportation charms, and disappear underwater in an instant.
In short, the monks were safely disembarked in a matter of seconds. It seems that before going down to the lake. They are all prepared to flee just in case, otherwise they wouldn't all be able to escape so fast.
The monsters in the lake roared when they saw themselves. But the monks fled in fright, and it jumped out of the water triumphantly. The lake water brought out was 100 meters high, and its body was also dozens of meters long, and a long groan was really resounding in the sky, scaring all the monks and wolves to flee, and they didn't dare to look back at the monster anymore.
The monster flew in the air and looked around, and saw that all the monks had fled from the duckbill lake as if they were not dying, and did not chase after it, and then fell into the lake again, and disappeared, probably returning to the cave.
After the wolf bรจi fled back to the Chang family in the clan, the monks no longer dared to go to Yazui Lake to find Chang Jun's whereabouts.
Chang Shengjun didn't dare to order the family monks to go to the lake to find his son's whereabouts, and no one could stop the monster's might! However, it also made him even more sure that the ferocious monster had devoured his son.
He hated that monster so much, his own Chang family couldn't deal with that fierce monster, but that didn't mean that there were no monks who could get that monster.
In order to avenge the tragic death of his son, he promises a great reward and seeks a master who can help him kill the monster in the lake. The monks from outside the town were attracted by his promise of a reward.
Although these monks had never seen the appearance of monsters, they should know that the monsters in the lake might be more powerful, so no one dared to go to the lake to deal with the monsters now. The monks are gathering more and more now, and there are probably not a few who come to see the excitement. I don't know when any monk will go to the lake again and try to take down that monster."
Xiao Liu's description is very detailed, and it also has his own imagination, but it can also be heard that the monsters in the lake must be very powerful.
"Have you ever seen that monster appear with your own eyes?" asked Xiaopeng casually.
"Ah, I'm a timid person, when the monks of the Chang family went to the lake to look for Chang Jun that day, the movement was very big, and many people in the town went to see the excitement, but I didn't dare to see it. But I heard the monster's long groan. It was so loud, so far away, it was very clear. โ
"Well, you explained it in great detail, I'm very satisfied, you can take this spirit stone. Xiaopeng said to Xiao Liu with a smile.
"Really, this spirit stone is mine?" Xiao Liu asked, holding back the ecstasy in his heart.
"Well, take it. Xiaopeng said lightly.
"Then I'll ...... Take it, Daoist, you...... Just rest, I'm gone. Xiao Liu said with red eyes and a trembling voice. Then he bowed deeply to Xiaopeng and left the room.
He is really gone, from now on, he is no longer a runner, he is also going to open an inn, and the scale is bigger than this fat black shop, he wants to be a big shopkeeper.
Of course, he thinks that the most important thing for him at present is to go to Ery's house to propose marriage first, set ErY, the ideal daughter-in-law in his heart, and then talk about opening an inn as a shopkeeper. (To be continued......)
