As dusk ended, the carriage drove leisurely to the border of Baling County. In the dark night sky, Night Owl and Fuyi fluttered their wings in the sky, fluttering and fluttering, and from time to time they made a strange cry, which was scary.
"That's the inn I'm talking about. People traveling from north to south rest there after dark. The owner of the inn doesn't know where he comes from. No matter he's from an upright family, someone from a secluded family, or someone with an official name, he doesn't dare to stay there easily.
There is a big fight in the inn." Huo Tongyu told some hearsay about the inn.
In the darkness, the light of the inn is as bright as a lighthouse on the sea, guiding the lost people back to the right path. Chen Guang analyzed lightly, "Either the owner behind the inn is a member of the government, with a high position and control of Baling County, and the right path dare not
If someone commits a crime, he will be treated lightly by the rightists, so that the yamen will not dare to get into trouble. Either that person is a peerless master."
Huo Tongyu smiled and said: "The analysis makes sense. It's about a stick of incense from here to the inn. Before checking in, I'll ask you a question. What if the beast control master attacks the inn and you and I are not his opponents?
Escape?"
Chen Guang heard this and said: "Since we know that the owner of the inn is very capable, he must use that person to escape. You also said that the inn is a mixed bag. If he really takes action, it would be a good idea to run to a crowded place."
Huo Tongyu laughed and shook his head, his peaceful eyes becoming sharper, "Most people who are new to the world have this mentality, but remember, there are many people who add icing on the cake, very few who offer help in times of trouble, and there are countless people who add insult to injury. You can never guess what kind of person they are.
People."
"Master once said something similar to me. This is the truth that he has been ups and downs in the world for many years." Huo Tongyu said solemnly: "So, if that person does something in the inn, you have to prepare more, or how to avoid them all.
Escape for your life, or kill everyone and then escape. Even if the other party is not malicious, you must be prepared, because the world is dangerous."
After hearing these words, Chen Guang's brain was like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, and he felt like he was suddenly awakened and enlightened, "I have learned a lesson."
When he arrived at the door of the inn, he raised his head and looked at the plaque of the inn. He was disappointed. It was not the "Longmen Inn" he was familiar with in another memory. The rotten wooden sign said "Xinghua Inn".
After getting off the carriage, both children were sleepy and couldn't open their eyes.
Chen Guang looked around and saw that there was only one table of guests eating.
Walking to the counter and knocking on the counter, the thin and dozing waiter was startled. He wiped the corners of his mouth clean, put a white cloth on his shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Who are the guest guests?"
p>
"Four people, four rooms, prepare some hot water to send upstairs, prepare some food, and get food for the horses." Chen Guang threw over a silver ingot, ten taels.
"Okay." The waiter became more positive after taking the money, and said hurriedly: "Guest officer, please go upstairs. There happen to be a few vacant rooms there."
The four rooms are not together, one is on the east side, and three are on the west. Two of them are facing the door, and the other one is separated by two rooms.
Huo Tongyu moved to the vacant house on the east side. Chen Kong and Chen Yun lived across from each other. The two children were exhausted and fell asleep before taking a bath or eating. Chen Yun curled up. What happened today scared her.<
/p>
After about a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter of the inn, "Sir, the food is ready. Would you like to eat down below, or will it be brought up to you?"
"No need to bother, just call the guy on the east side for me."
"Okay."
Chen Guang held the tiger soul sword in his hand. It was a life-saving thing. As for other external objects, he didn't take anything.
As soon as he went out, he bumped into Huo Tongyu.
Huo Tongyu said: "Don't you call those two children?"
Chen Guang shook his head, "I'm probably exhausted from the long journey. I'm sleeping, so don't worry about them."
Halfway through the meal, the waiter asked if he wanted some drinks, but Chen Guang refused. It was not appropriate to drink at this time.
Ta tap tap~
A few horses stopped at the door of the inn, and a few middle-aged and unsmiling young men in black robes walked into the inn. Their eyes glanced at the inn, and a corner of the waistband of one of them was exposed.
The people at the other table dispersed immediately.
"The person from the imperial court should be Jingxuansi." Huo Tongyu said.
Jingxuansi is an important institution in the Tang Dynasty. Everything involving monsters and ghosts goes through Jingxuansi. Every person in Jingxuansi has been carefully selected, each with his own unique skills and extraordinary power. These people belong directly to the emperor, so they act without scruples.
, the government yamen and even the prefect of a county have to give some face.
The middle-aged man among them looked back at Chen Guang and Huo Tongyu. He must have heard what Huo Tongyu said, but there was not much expression on his face. He patted the table coldly and said: "Waiter, how many kilograms of beef, how many kilograms of beef?"
A pound of mutton, a pot of apricot wine per person, quick and easy."
"Please wait a moment, sir."
Suddenly, there was a soft and urgent sound from upstairs.
Ring ring ring~
Chen Guang suddenly raised his head, picked up the knife at hand, stepped on the empty table and jumped upstairs. Huo Tongyu, who didn't know why, was a little confused, but followed Chen Guang's footsteps, but heard the waiter exclaimed, "Don't step on it."
, trampled..."
The middle-aged Jingxuanji said to himself, "My skills are pretty good."
The other four young people commented one after another, "Refining the pulse makes the qi and blood strong."
"My body skills are average and I have never practiced Qing Gong."
"The other guy has good Qinggong."
"Boss, which one do you like?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "It's not like you don't understand the rules of Jingxuansi. If you want to enter Jingxuansi, you must first have a clean family background, and you will not give up until the truth about your eight generations of ancestors is revealed."
The immature-looking young man asked: "Boss, it looks like they are in trouble. Why don't you help me and give me a favor?"
The middle-aged man glared, "Jingxuansi is not a government official and cannot take care of the affairs of the Jianghu. We have a mission, and we have to continue our journey after we are full. Don't meddle in other people's business."
Before going out, Chen Guang set a small bell alarm at the bottom of the box. This thing would not ring for no reason. Someone must have moved the box to trigger the alarm.
There may be a burglar in the house.
But when she returned to the house, she saw Chen Yun looking at the box in her hand with a blank look on her face.
"Third sister, why are you in my house?"
Chen Yun said: "Brother, I'm scared."
It turned out that Chen Yun had a nightmare and went to Chen Guang's house to sleep. She accidentally triggered the mechanism and had a false alarm.
Chen Guang asked: "Now that you're awake, go down and eat something, take a bath and then go to sleep."
Back downstairs, the waiter said that Huo Tongyu had trampled on the table and wanted to pay two taels of silver. Huo Tongyu reluctantly gave the money and looked along Chen Guang's line of sight, only to see someone occupying the table.
took their seats and feasted on the table.
Huo Tongyu's temper was definitely unbearable, but Chen Guang stopped him, "It's better to do less than to do more."
Those people were clothed in the furs of monsters and wild beasts, but they were not hunters in the mountains. They were as strong as cattle. Each of them had strong energy and blood, and even had a faint smell of blood.
Hearing Chen Guang's concession, the group sneered. One of them sipped the oil from his fingers, walked to Chen Guang's table, looked at Chen Guang's eyes full of contempt, and reached out to touch Chen Yun's hand.
Face, "Little sister, the person you are following is too soft, it is better to follow uncle and I promise to let you..."
Snap!
Bang!
Huo Tongyu slapped him with his backhand, just wanting to teach this person a lesson. Chen Guang made a decisive move and punched the opponent in the chest. The person he hit flew three feet away, collapsed on the ground and vomited blood, dying, without saying a word.
Passed out.
