…

"Store, I'll pay you more, five silver dollars for a night's stay."

"Really five dollars?"

Another mature voice came out.

"Really."

"Creak", the closed door opened a crack, and a person with a nervous face appeared.

After seeing him, the child shrank and became obviously more nervous. But when he saw the two children behind him, he relaxed a lot.

The door was slowly opened, revealing a young man wearing a blue-gray coarse cloth shirt and a rich middle-aged man wearing a mandarin jacket.

Behind the two men there were several other servants.

The group of people looked wary.

Looking at their posture, they look like they are guarding against thieves.

Xu Rui didn't bother to explain, so he just took five silver dollars and threw them over.

"Prepare a bed room."

Money can make the mill push the devil.

When the shop owner saw the money, his eyes instantly lit up.

"Open the door, open the door quickly and let the distinguished guests come in."

After kicking the waiter, he quickly opened the door.

Let the father and son come in. As for the ghost wood dragon, as a ghost, it will naturally not be seen by ordinary people.

The shop owner personally took the three of them to the room upstairs.

The environment is good.

Very clean.

"Is your guest satisfied?"

"That's right, that's it."

"Haha, as long as you are satisfied. Guests, would you like to finish your meal? We have the best Huazhuo wine here, as well as the most famous delicacies in Hongya County, especially the squirrel mandarin fish."

"Bring a pot of wine and a large portion of each meat and vegetable dish."

Xu Rui casually tossed over five silver coins.

The shop owner was so excited that his mouth almost burst open to the base of his ears. He hadn’t met such a high-roller in months.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you."

Xu Rui smiled faintly and said, "Shop, has something happened in this county? Why are every house closed and the streets so deserted after the Youshi hour?"

"The distinguished guest is an outsider and doesn't know that Hongya County is currently haunted by ghosts."

When he said the word "haunted", he deliberately lowered his voice and looked even more nervous.

"Uncle, where are the ghosts? I, Master Xu Xiaotian, am here to catch ghosts and ensure that people can eliminate them." Xu Changan patted his chest and promised.

Looking at him, he was only four feet tall, with small arms and legs, and a childlike look on his face.

The shop owner couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't be ridiculous, young master. That ghost has killed more than a dozen people in the entire Hongya County. It's so vicious. It's too late to escape, so there are still people rushing up to get close to it."

He turned around as soon as he finished speaking.

"Guest, if you hear something at night, you must not open the window, let alone answer the door."

"Thank you to the store for informing me."

The shop owner made a fist salute, then turned and walked out.

The door was closed, Xu Rui flicked his finger, and a flash of light flashed through, cutting off all sounds and breaths inside and outside.

"Dad, let's go catch ghosts." Xu Changan begged.

Although Xu Ping'an didn't speak, his eyes were full of desire.

At their age, young people are passionate and eager to slay demons and be respected by others.

"Let's go after we finish our meal."

The intention of coming out this time was to allow Erxiao to gain knowledge and broaden his horizons, so Xu Rui had no intention of stopping it.

Since there weren't many people staying in the restaurant, the food was served very quickly.

The table is covered with plates and bowls.

"Sir, this is the flower wine you requested."

The shopkeeper put the clay-sealed wine jar on the table.

After opening it, the rich aroma of wine hits your nose.

"good."

"Haha, this flower wine is the signature of our store, but this wine has a strong aftertaste, so don't drink too much."

"I know, go down, I'll call you if anything happens."

"Okay, you eat slowly."

The shopkeeper said goodbye and left, closing the door.

Xu Changan picked up the Kuaizi and took a few bites, "Dad, these dishes are far worse than those at grandpa's."

Xu Pingan nodded in agreement.

The Zhang family has been a wealthy family for thousands of years and has accumulated countless good things. Even the dishes they usually eat are mostly spiritual plants raised by spiritual energy.

The taste is naturally not comparable to ordinary dishes.

"If you don't want to eat you, go catch ghosts."

Xu Rui didn't force it either.

Xu Changan's eyes lit up and he dropped Kuai Zi.

"Dad, I'm leaving first, you eat slowly."

"Dad, I won't eat either."

Xu Ping'an also left Kuai Zi and flew out of the window with his younger brother.

A cyan shadow followed him like lightning.

Xu Rui glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, took the kuaizi, added a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

I frowned, the taste was indeed much different.

"It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The old saying is indeed true."

He was used to eating delicious delicacies rich in spiritual energy from the Zhang family, and it was really hard to swallow these ordinary meals.

But since you ordered it, you can’t waste it.

He opened his mouth and swallowed with strong force, sweeping away all the food.

Although the fundamental talisman of the Iron Chewing Technique has been given to Xu Kunlun, with his current martial arts cultivation, even without the Iron Chewing Technique, he can still count oxen per day.

He picked up the wine jar next to him and took a sip.

Nod slightly.

"This wine is really good."

With a flick of the finger, two water mirrors appeared in front of them, and the figures of Xu Changan and Xu Pingan appeared in them respectively.

He had mastered this Water Mirror Technique not long ago, so it wasn't very advanced, but it was certainly enough.

Watching the two little guys catch ghosts, Xu Rui felt like watching TV.

They are all at the pinnacle of foundation building and are just one step away from breaking through the golden elixir. Coupled with the spiritual weapons they gave them, they can deal with several ghosts with ease.

After watching for a while, Xu Rui found a clue.

There are indeed a lot of ghosts in this town, more than a dozen of them. Considering the size of a county, there are indeed a lot.

You should know that it is not easy for a ghost to take shape.

The right time, right place and right people are indispensable.

Even if hundreds of people die, a ghost may not appear.

In addition to the excess in quantity, the quality is also different.

Each of these ghosts is full of sinister energy, and they are all fierce ghosts that have been practicing for many years. Although they are not enough to be seen in front of Xu Changan and Xu Pingan, they are not something that ordinary foundation-building monks can deal with.

There were more than a dozen foundation-level ghosts appearing all at once, and there were not even any ordinary wandering souls. This was obviously abnormal.
