"Hi, guest! Would you like to work in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
The young shopkeeper raised his hand and put the plate of meat slices into the cabinet. He ignored the old poor man's eyes and went straight to the door of the inn to greet him.
"Shopkeeper, please arrange a good guest room."
The person who spoke was the tall figure. He had already walked into the store and reached out to take off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, revealing a gray suit. It was Liang Yan who had been "travelling" all the way here. And the short man beside him
The figure is naturally Li Xiaosong.
"Okay, please, sir!" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and asked a waiter to lead the horse for Liang Yan, and then he personally led the way.
"Are you two guests here to visit Xiling Mountain? Hey, it's really a coincidence. The sun was still shining brightly this morning, but it just started raining. You, guests, will rest here for a day.
, it’s guaranteed to be a sunny day when you wake up tomorrow morning, which will not delay your hiking trip!”
The shopkeeper was obviously a chatterbox and kept chattering all the way. Liang Yan followed him to the second floor and suddenly interrupted and asked: "Shopkeeper, I think your business is not doing well. Most of the guest rooms are empty."
"Hey, the guest officer is laughing. This place is remote and desolate. Although the scenery is good, the number of people coming and going is still small."
"Oh, that's it!" Liang Yan nodded, suddenly changed the subject, and pointed to several rooms across the corridor and said: "The rooms there are in good locations, but the doors are closed. Has anyone lived in them?
"
The young shopkeeper looked in the direction of his finger, his expression suddenly changed, and he whispered: "I'm sorry, sir, someone has already taken up residence there. Your guest room is here, please come with me."
He seemed unwilling to talk more about this topic, but quickly led Liang Yan to another wing.
"If you, our guest, need anything, just ring the bell at the door and a waiter will come up to greet you."
"good!"
Liang Yan nodded, stretched out his hand and took out some broken silver from his waist, and handed it into his hand. When the shopkeeper got the silver, he immediately smiled happily, treated the two people politely, and then went downstairs happily.
As soon as Liang Yan closed the door of the guest room, he heard Li Xiaosong's dissatisfied voice behind him muttering:
"We have been walking for five or six days. Seeing that Xiling Mountain is right in front of us, why not just go up the mountain?"
"Don't forget, we are tourists visiting mountains and rivers now. How can any tourists go up the mountain in the heavy rain?" Liang Yan said with a chuckle.
After hearing this, Li Xiaosong curled his lips helplessly and said, "Looking at how much you paid attention to the guest room over there just now, did you discover something?"
"Yes, there are monks over there who are breathing, and their realms are not low. They are probably above the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the highest ones have even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."
"What? The monks appearing near Xiling Mountain now are more suspicious. Could they be demonic monks who came to besiege, or monks from the other two sects who came to support?"
"This is still unknown." Liang Yan seemed to be interested, and said to Li Xiaosong: "You stay in the room tonight, and I will go find out their truth."
"What, when it comes to being sneaky, you are really good at it." Li Xiaosong muttered with some dissatisfaction.
That night, a black shadow jumped out of the second-floor window of the "Ye Zai Lai Inn", climbed lightly on the wall for a while, and then escaped into an empty room.
This dark figure was naturally Liang Yan. He did not choose to go snooping on the roof or outside the windows of the monks, because he was afraid of being discovered and ruining his success, so he chose an unoccupied guest room next to them.
At this moment, the Hunhuang Gong was running silently in his body, secretly increasing his six senses to the extreme. He only heard someone in the next room say:
"Young Master, is this really the thing in the Sword-Forging Pavilion that you have mobilized so much?"
"You shouldn't ask. Don't ask too much. Whatever the young master orders, I will do it." An old voice replied leisurely.
"That's true, but the young master secretly used many methods and spent a lot of effort this time. Shouldn't it just be for a groundless piece of news?"
"Hu Si, pay attention to your identity!" The old voice suddenly became serious.
"Excuse me, Mr. Yan, but I overstepped my bounds." Hu Si said quickly.
"It's good that you know. If it hadn't been for the young master's protection, we would have died long ago. From then on, this life belongs to the young master. Whatever he orders, we will carry out it. We must not speculate on him.
intention of."
"What Lao Yan taught me is that Hu Si has learned his crime!"
"Yes." The old man in the room seemed quite satisfied and said calmly: "Actually, in addition to the task of attacking the Jiangjian Pavilion this time, the young master also gave us a task. Hu San, Hu Si, come and take a look at this.
"
"Yes!" Two voices sounded at the same time.
Liang Yan frowned slightly. It turned out that there was a third monk in the room, but this Hu San seemed to be good at hiding, so even he didn't notice it.
"Lao Yan, who is this person in the portrait?" Hu Si said with some uncertainty.
"Haha, it's good that you all know clearly. If we encounter him in a decisive battle, we need to find a way to lure him there." Yan Lao said, his voice getting lower and lower, and in the end even Liang Yan couldn't hear clearly.
Just as he was secretly guessing, Hu three and Hu four had already replied in unison: "I understand!"
After a while, Hu Si spoke again: "Actually, I have always been confused in my heart. How can there be so many demonic people in Yue country who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the young master?"
"Haha." Yan Lao said with a smile: "Everyone in the world is seeking profit. If you put on a mask, you are a member of the devil's path. If you take off the mask, how do you know who he is?"
"What? Yan Lao means"
"Young Master is strategizing to drive them away. Many of the monks who besieged Zhujian Pavilion this time are not from the Yue Kingdom at all. And not only are they from the three realms of ghosts, Gu, and corpses, but they even belong to the authentic Taoism and Confucianism.
So the reason why I put on the mask and transformed into a demon sect is because Zhujiange had a grudge against the demon sect of Yue Kingdom in the past, so it was just a way to hide from others."
"I see, the young master is indeed very calculating!" Hu Si sighed.
He was surprised in his heart, but he didn't know that Liang Yan, who was separated by a wall, was even more surprised.
"It turns out that the so-called 'Devil Sect besieging the Zhujian Pavilion' was not caused by the dispute between the Pavilion Master Huang Potian and the Yue Kingdom Demon Dao in the past, as stated in the Yungang Sect's mission column, but an outright conspiracy.
, a good show planned by others!"
Just when his mind was wandering, he suddenly heard a knock on the door next door. The discussion in the room suddenly stopped. After a while, only a "squeak" was heard, the wooden door was opened, and then a woman's clear and sweet voice
The voice came:
"How long are you going to stay here? I don't have the spare time to keep you company."
The voice sounded familiar. Liang Yan's mind turned and he suddenly thought of someone.
