Chapter 12 Eliminate hidden dangers in advance at the minimum cost
The innkeeper, who was wearing a purple-brown gown, tied his hair with ribbons, and had two black beards on his upper lips, smiled slightly and said: "It is true that all the rooms have been booked, it's just that no one has checked in. A few guests still went.
Check it out somewhere else."
Jingtian frowned and said, "Show me the reservation record."
The innkeeper didn't care about his rude request and handed over an account book very politely.
Jingtian quickly flipped through the account book and found that the columns were filled with names, and there was nothing unusual at all.
"I'm offended." Jingtian put down his account book and walked out of the inn with everyone.
Afterwards, they went to two inns one after another, but they encountered the same situation. In both cases, there were countless empty rooms, but the inns were full of guests.
"There's something wrong with you!"
Standing in front of the counter of the third store, Jingtian said to the little old man in black behind the counter.
The little old man looked at himself and then at Jingtian: "I wonder what the young master is talking about?"
Jingtian banged the demon-suppressing sword on the counter and threatened: "Tell me honestly, why don't you let people stay? If you don't explain clearly, we will force you to stay."
The little old man was helpless: "Sir, how can you force someone to stay in an inn?"
"Miss, go choose a room." Jingtian said to Xuejian.
"Hey, okay." Xuejian knew what he meant very well and was very cooperative.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Seeing that the heroine was about to go upstairs, the little old man said quickly: "I'll tell you the truth, can you please stop living here?"
"Speak first." Jingtian said seriously.
The little old man took a long breath and said: "It's not that we don't want to entertain strangers like you, but on the night of the 15th of last month, several people died suddenly in the inn. These days are also full moon nights.
Therefore, no inn dares to accommodate guests."
"Sudden death, what happened?" Xu Changqing asked quickly.
The little old man: "Who knows? The government has been investigating for a month, but there is no news at all."
"It's an evildoer who is causing trouble. If there are no ascetics in the government, no matter how long we check, we won't be able to find out the news." Qin Yao said with certainty.
The little old man shuddered: "Now that you know, leave Anning Village as soon as possible. Don't lose your life here in confusion."
Qin Yao turned around and came to the opponent, raised his right hand slightly, with the palm facing up, and suddenly a white light ball emerged. The next moment, the light ball followed his thoughts and turned into countless small lightsabers, flying above his palm like fish.
With.
"This...is this?" The little old man's eyes widened.
Qin Yao smiled and turned his hands to put away the power of faith: "To be honest, we are all sword immortals, and we came here specifically to eliminate demons."
The little old man quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Greetings to the Master Sword Immortal, greetings to the Master Sword Immortal."
Qin Yao helped him up and ordered: "Go and help us arrange five upper rooms. It's okay if the monster doesn't come in these two days. If it comes, we will take it away."
"well."
The little old man was overjoyed and said quickly: "Five of you, come with me. I will give you the best room in our store. I only hope that you can really accept the monster and relieve the panic in the village..."
Lean less.
The little old man not only kept his promise and prepared five upper rooms for them, he also asked the cook to show off his special skills and prepare a table full of dishes, insisting on inviting the sword fairy masters to dinner.
That night.
The five of them sat together in the brightly lit shop lobby. Sedum held the chopsticks, picked up a piece of hot beef and put it into his mouth. He felt instantly comfortable and said with emotion: "This is why I want to be a swordsman."
, no matter where I go, there are people paying respect and making offerings to me.”
Xuejian complained: "That's all you pursue. Who becomes a swordsman just to earn a living?"
"Your eldest lady has never suffered, and has no idea how miserable the people at the bottom are. When eating becomes a problem, being able to eat everywhere is simply a dream." Jingtian replied.
"Brother Jing, Miss Tang, can't you two talk calmly and calmly?" Xu Changqing asked doubtfully.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "No."
Qin Yao: "Hey, it makes sense."
"No." The two said at the same time again.
At this time, Qin Yao suddenly found that the cuffs of his sleeves moved. With a change of thought, he shook the five poisonous beasts out of his sleeves.
After appearing, the Five Poison Beast first glanced at the dishes on the table, then sniffed and looked up at Tang Xuejian.
Qin Yao said slowly: "If you like to stay with her, you can follow her in the future..."
He doesn't particularly care about things like the Five Poison Beasts and the Five Poison Pearls, which can neither enhance his cultivation nor have much of an effect on him.
That's why he could say these words calmly and prepare to release the Five Poison Beasts back to Tang Xuejian.
But after the Five Poison Beast tilted its head and thought for a moment, it actually flapped its wings and flew back to him, sat down on his shoulder, and shook its head repeatedly, its meaning was very obvious.
Qin Yao: "..."
What made the Five Poison Beasts give up recognizing Tang Xueyian as their main subject?
After a while, an answer automatically appeared in his mind: the power of faith.
At that time, in order to trace the whereabouts of Tang Kun, he instilled a lot of power of faith into the Five Poison Beasts, and the other party obviously enjoyed the nourishment of this power.
Thinking of this, he slowly raised his right hand, and a small ball of faith gradually condensed in his palm.
Seeing this white ball of light, the Five Poison Beast's eyes suddenly lit up, just like a cat seeing a cat strip, it rushed towards it, tried its best to open its mouth wide, and swallowed the ball of light into its mouth.
"It's so cute." Tang Xue said with eyes full of stars.
"What's the point of thinking it's cute? It won't follow you." Sedum said humbly.
Tang Xuejian was furious: "Why do you talk so much?"
"You care about me?" Jingtian made a face.
"I'm full." Just when Tang Xuejian was about to retaliate, Xu Changqing suddenly stood up and said seriously: "You eat slowly, I will look for traces of the monster."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Yao put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go with you."
"no!"
Jingtian suddenly stood up and said: "You two are good at martial arts and are gone. What should we do?"
Qin Yao smiled and said: "As long as the demon-suppressing sword is still on you, the demons will not dare to approach you."
Jingtian blinked and subconsciously turned to look at Nightshade.
Solanum nigrum:"???"
Look at what I'm doing, I'm not a monster!
After a while.
Qin Yao, Long Kui, and Xu Changqing walked out of the inn together, only to see the bright moon in the night sky and the buzzing of insects all around.
"When I was a kid, my favorite thing was to listen to the chirping of insects at night with Brother Wang. For some reason, the chirping of insects during the day made me feel very noisy, but the chirping of insects at night made me feel very peaceful." Walking on the cold and quiet streets,
Nightshade said softly.
Qin Yao said: "Maybe you need to go to work during the day."
"What is going to work?" Solanum asked in confusion.
Qin Yao thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm just busy, busy with all kinds of things. Busy with life, busy with trivial matters. When I finish my work, it's dark, and it starts over and over again, which is very annoying."
Long Kui nodded: "That's true. I used to go to palace school every day, but now..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
There's no going back.
The two were chatting casually, but Xu Changqing was not idle at all. He kept pouring spiritual energy into the demon-hunting disk, driving the compass to search for monsters.
Shaoqing and Xu Changqing led them to a tavern, but inside the tavern, a handsome young woman wearing a pink dress, a white gauze cover, and a big red flower tied on her head stopped a man wearing a
In front of a middle-aged man wearing round jade accessories and a Sichuan brocade gown, he said sincerely: "Brother Liu, you must have heard that my husband was seriously ill not long ago..."
"Really? Is there such a thing?" Brother Liu looked surprised.
The handsome young woman's face froze, and then she said: "Yes! You and my husband are close friends. If it weren't for my husband, you wouldn't be where you are today, so I hope I can borrow some money from you..."
Brother Liu raised his hand and said: "Brother Gao's kindness, I, Liu, will remember it in my heart, but... I have no money."
The handsome young woman glanced at his package, and Brother Liu quickly changed his words: "Don't even think about taking advantage of this money. This is my capital for doing business."
"Didn't he just say that he had no money?" Nightshade whispered outside the door.
"Shh." Qin Yao raised a finger: "Stop talking, keep listening."
The handsome young woman prayed: "Brother Liu, please help me. My husband is really in danger, but I don't have money to buy him medicine..."
"I told you that I have no money." Brother Liu waved his hands repeatedly: "When he dies, tell me and I will go and pay homage to him."
"It's too much." Nightshade couldn't hold it back and secretly clenched her fists.
The five poisonous beasts following Qin Yao seemed to feel the same, and rushed in with a hiss, knocking Brother Liu off his back.
"Ding Dong..." As the baggage on his shoulders fell away, a piece of silver suddenly fell out.
"Don't move." Brother Liu ignored the pain on his body and said to the handsome young woman.
The young woman had no choice but to sigh deeply.
Brother Liu didn't dare to stay here any longer. He hurriedly picked up the money and hurried out of the restaurant.
Outside the door, Xu Changqing also sighed and said: "There is so much suffering in the world."
While he was still sighing, Qin Yao walked directly into the tavern.
"Hello, sir, what would you like to eat?" Seeing someone coming in, the tavern owner immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"I'm looking for her." Qin Yao pointed at the young woman and said.
Tavern owner: "..."
"Looking for me?" The young woman looked stunned.
"How much does it cost for your husband's treatment?" Qin Yao was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked directly.
Young woman: "..."
boss:"……"
"Didn't you hear, how much does it cost?" Qin Yao frowned.
The young woman hesitated and said: "It probably requires three hundred taels of silver..."
Qin Yao nodded, dug into his sleeves, and actually took out two gold nuggets and handed them to the other party: "Take the gold and go rescue your husband."
Young woman: "?!!"
boss:"!!!"
Is this like meeting a living Bodhisattva?
"This this……"
Not long after, the young woman woke up, grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, bit her lip and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Qin Yao: "Just be a good person."
Everyone: "..."
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and go?" Seeing her dumbfounded, Qin Yao shouted softly.
The young woman took a deep breath, caught the heavy gold nugget with both hands, bowed and saluted: "I have a body of thousands of jade branches, I dare to ask my benefactor's name."
"What's the point of asking about your name? I'm not asking you to repay me. Go quickly, go quickly." Qin Yao waved his hand.
Young woman: "..."
Such a unique benefactor is truly speechless.
"If there is a chance, I will hold the ring knot grass in my body to repay this kindness." Wan Yuzhi held the gold nugget in his arms, knelt down towards Qin Yao, kowtowed three times sincerely, and then strode away.
.
Seeing her leaving with the gold, the tavern owner just woke up from a dream and quickly knelt on the ground, crying and crying: "Good man, Bodhisattva, I am in trouble too!
My wife has eight children, both of them are elderly, and the whole family relies on my small restaurant to survive. My life is worse than death.
I beg you to be merciful and compassionate, and give me a piece of gold as well."
Qin Yao looked at him in surprise and asked doubtfully: "The family conditions are not good, why do you have so many children?"
boss:"……"
"That's not what I want to have..." After a moment, he said hesitantly.
"If you control your lower body, can the child still jump out on its own?" Qin Yao asked again.
boss:"……"
"Inexplicable." Qin Yao shrugged, turned and walked out of the tavern.
The boss has colorful faces, mostly green and red...
"Taoist Priest, why did you only help the woman and not the man?" Nightshade asked in confusion after leaving the restaurant.
Qin Yao said: "Because that woman is a monster."
Nightshade: "What?"
"By the way, I was so absorbed in watching that I forgot to collect the demon." Xu Changqing patted his forehead.
"Don't accept it, she is also a pitiful monster." Qin Yao said to Long Kui: "Of course, I gave her the gold not because she was pitiful, but because I saw her perseverance. As a monster who can transform,
Her husband is seriously ill, but she does not rely on witchcraft to obtain gold and silver. Instead, she asks others to borrow money. This persistence is worth my giving her gold..."
certainly.
There was another more important reason that he couldn't tell the two of them.
In the original work, in order to save her husband, Wan Yuzhi focused on seizing the Earth Spirit Pearl, which caused a lot of trouble for the protagonist group.
Qin Yao didn't want to see this trouble happen as planned. If two pieces of gold could cut off this trouble in advance, it wouldn't be a sin, and it would be worth the money.
After all, he has been a Neptune. To him, gold, silver and jewelry are no different than weeds on the roadside. He doesn't dare to say how much he wants, but those things take up quite a lot of space in his storage bracelet.
Lean less.
When the three of them returned to the Settle Inn inn, chatting and laughing, inside the tavern, the woman with purple gauze who had secretly spied on Xu Changqing slowly walked down the stairs, looking at the direction they left, her brows furrowed.
This little Taoist priest ruined her good deeds with his good intentions!
