To be honest, six guests suddenly came to the hotel. This was something the owner of the hotel couldn't be happier about. It's just that these six guests came on the wrong day. Today, they are the most popular guests in the entire city, no, at least in this small town closest to the sea.
On this special day, every shop is closed for one reason. But if this reason is revealed, the shop owner is not sure whether he can convince these people from other places.
"This..." The shop owner looked embarrassed: "Don't be angry, please sit down..."
Sit down? There are not so many stools here, and the shop owner immediately became embarrassed again: "I'm sorry, the shop is small, please don't be angry."
"We are not angry." Bai Yi snorted: "But there seems to be something weird here. Although we are outsiders, don't fool us. We heard someone following us just now!"
Bai Yi got to the point directly. The shop owner turned pale and his lips trembled: "You guys, did you...hear the extra footsteps?"
"You know that too?" Xiao Shan pointed at the shop owner and said, "You knew it clearly but didn't tell us. You guys are looking at people, but he doesn't dare to look at us. He is obviously hiding something from us. Isn't this a black shop?
"
What a small mountain. He has been getting smarter and smarter after being out of the mountain for so long. He is right. As soon as the shop owner mentioned the footsteps, his expression immediately changed, and he was avoiding their eyes. This was obviously
There was something wrong in his heart. Seeing that the shop owner didn't speak clearly, Lei Zi became a little annoyed and punched the table. The table immediately shook, frightening the shop owner even more and more speechless.
"Okay, Lei Zi, don't scare him." Qixie said, "It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but maybe he doesn't know how to say it?"
What Qi Xie said reached the heart of the shop owner. The shop owner looked at Qi Xie gratefully: "This brother is right. It's not that I didn't say it, it's that I didn't know how to say it at all. Even if I did, would you believe it?
"
Bai Yi wanted to laugh. Is there anything else that they can't accept? "Just say it, it's up to us whether you believe it or not."
"Oh, this is a long story. You are here by chance. Penglai City is so big. How did you end up in this ghost place like ours?" The shop owner said, "Our place is the closest to the sea. Don't ask.
I don’t know why this place is surrounded by the sea, but our place is the closest to the sea.”
The shop owner's chatterbox was completely open. He was originally a businessman and was very flexible. "Since I was born here, I have known that our place is the closest to the sea. Maybe someone has measured it.
There is another saying that our place is the only way to Penglai Immortal Mountain..."
"What did you say?" As soon as Tang Sancheng heard the words Penglai Fairy Mountain, his nerves became very sensitive.
"This is just a theory. It is said that Xu Fu passed by us in the past and found the legendary Penglai Fairy Mountain. However, these fairy mountains are everywhere now. Also, the fairy mountains may also be fairy islands. These are all confusing.
Very, oh, I'm going a little bit too far with this." The store owner said: "Today is December 12th, do you know?"
"I know." Lei Zi became impatient: "Boss, can you finish it in one breath? Why are you so nervous on December 12th and every house is closed?"
"On the 12th of December, Yaksha comes out. Who wants to meet Yaksha?" The shop owner said: "You said you heard footsteps, it's probably that Yaksha."
"Yaksha?" Qixie's expression changed slightly: "Where did you hear this statement?"
"Of course it has been passed down. I heard that Yaksha can eat raw people, so everyone is so scared." The shop owner said, "Fortunately, Yaksha is just wandering outside and will not break into the door, so everyone just keeps a tight seal.
Just open the door. I saw you walking out just now, and I wanted to ask you to come back, but..."
"But we are outsiders, so you don't pay much attention to it, right?" Lei Zi immediately exposed the store owner's concerns.
"This..." The store owner felt guilty for a moment, and immediately found an excuse for himself: "Actually, there have been rumors for so many years, but I haven't heard of a man-eating monster appearing. It's not necessarily true or false, so
, it’s not that serious anymore. Guys, it’s getting late, so why not go into the room and rest early? After this night, nothing will happen.”
He said it so lightly. Lei Zi still wanted to argue with the shop owner, but Bai Yi had already walked towards the room: "Don't waste your breath. He didn't open the door just now, but we can come in, right?"
"That's right." Xiaoshan accepted it immediately, yawned at the same time, and followed Bai Yi. Taking the lead, the others had no choice but to go back to sleep. Tang Sancheng and Qixie shared a room.
Sancheng looked at Qixie's serious expression and asked, "Qixie, what's wrong?"
"That person mentioned Yaksha." Qixie said: "I heard the leader mention Yaksha. Yaksha lives in the underworld. They are no different from ordinary people, but they have no heartbeat and their appearance can change at any time. I never thought that I would hear it again here.
To Yaksha.”
"But you seem to be very worried." Tang Sancheng sighed: "Qixie, I have been with you for so many years. I know very well whether you have anything on your mind. What are you worried about? Are you worried about Yaksha, or are you worried that we can't find him?
That legendary Penglai Wonderland?”
"You are all worried, especially this Yaksha. You may not know that they can confuse people's minds." Qixie said: "It is unknown why Yaksha exist. They are a mystery, full of mystery. You heard footsteps just now.
But no extra heartbeat was heard, and there was no heartbeat, which is consistent with the characteristics of Yaksha."
"You don't want us to run into Yaksha?" Tang Sancheng understood: "But if we can find Penglai, we may be able to solve the mystery of my memories of the first three months. The shop owner just said that this is where Xu Fu was looking for Penglai.
It is an inevitable place that I must pass through, and the sense of familiarity brought to me by this place has never been so strong. I feel that I am getting closer and closer to Penglai, just one chance away, just one chance away."
"I hope this opportunity comes soon." Qixie sighed: "Go to bed early. When you wake up tomorrow morning, maybe the opportunity you want will appear in front of you."
Tang Sancheng glanced out the window, and a black shadow flashed past. He thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes and lay on the bed, falling asleep among various thoughts...
