Seeing the disgusted look on Bai Yu's face, Lu Chen didn't want to get too entangled in this topic.
So he went straight to the point and said to the shop owner: "We are here to stay, not to eat or to gamble. Excuse me, boss, do you have any rooms here? We need two."
Lu Chen was a gentleman this time, but it made Bai Yu a little unhappy.
Bai Yu's cheeks turned red, but she didn't dare to say anything. She only dared to hold Lu Chen's clothes tightly with her hands. She looked very cute.
The shop owner glanced at Lu Chen and Bai Yu, and obviously understood Bai Yu's relationship at once, and said, "Oh? Don't the two guests live in the same room? I think the relationship between the two..."
What the store owner said, he only needed to add a sentence for you young people who know how to play.
It's just that the shop owner has a sinister look, coupled with that lustful expression, I don't know why, when this sentence comes out of his mouth, it completely changes the taste.
As soon as he said these words, he became extremely obscene. Not to mention Lu Chen and Bai Yu, even the few people gambling there felt very disgusted.
When Lu Chen heard this, he frowned again, raised his eyes, glanced at the shop owner angrily, and said to the shop owner, "I don't want to say another sentence."
If it weren't for the fact that cultivators couldn't attack mortals, I'm afraid Lu Chen would have slapped him with his previous violent temper.
The shop owner could clearly see Lu Chen's anger, and felt that his attire was extraordinary. He must be a warrior at least, and he didn't dare to offend him casually.
Lu Chen and Bai Yu didn't speak at all, they just looked at the shop owner, but their aura was rising steadily. Not to mention the shop owner, even the group of gamblers behind them quieted down at this moment, and straightened up.
Look at the two people.
Seeing the postures of Lu Chen and Bai Yu, everyone also thought that they must be somewhat capable.
The shop owner knew that he was in the wrong, so he smiled awkwardly and said to Lu Chen: "You want two rooms, right? OK, then I'll get the keys now, and I'll let my servants take you up to watch the two guests."
Just wait here for a while, I have other things to do, and someone will come to greet you later."
After the shop owner finished speaking, he rushed to Lu Chen and Bai Yu and bowed.
Seeing him like this, Lu Chen nodded gently to him, and the shop owner ran away in a hurry.
After all, the air-conditioning emanating from Lu Chen's surroundings almost suffocated him to death. Although the store owner didn't know that it was murderous intent, he actually felt the horror of that murderous intent.
I just didn't expect that a big shot would come to their store, so the store owner naturally didn't dare to neglect him.
Bai Yu then looked at the inn carefully. He couldn't help but rub his hands, looked up at Lu Chen, and asked tentatively: "Lu Chen, do we really want to stay here?
?I think there seems to be something strange about these people in this small town. I think this small town looks rather dilapidated and depressed. How can there be so many people who can spend money for gambling? "
Bai Yu's series of questions confused Lu Chen. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was true, making Lu Chen himself a little uneasy.
"And the owner of the inn, with his stern look on his face, he is obviously uneasy and kind-hearted. Generally speaking, the owner of the inn will take us directly to watch and just give us the key. Why do we have to wait here?
What? If it weren’t for us two outsiders coming here, maybe..."
Seeing that Lu Chen also had a hesitant expression on his face, Bai Yu also added some words of jealousy at the right time.
After Lu Chen heard this, he looked at Bai Yu and said to Bai Yu, "Maybe?"
Bai Yu originally thought that Lu Chen didn't hear what she said clearly, because when she said those words to Lu Chen, Lu Chen's eyes were calm, without any response or expression, just blank.
Listening blankly.
This was quite different from the previous changes, and Bai Yu didn't know what Lu Chen had understood.
But she didn't expect that just after Bai Yu finished speaking, Lu Chen actually asked her such a question. Bai Yu quickly said to Lu Chen: "Maybe he wants to steal money from us. I think we should leave here."
Well, it seems very unsafe here." After Bai Yu finished speaking, he also pulled Lu Chen's sleeve.
After Lu Chen heard this, he said to Bai Yu in a comforting tone: "Otherwise, I think we should stay here tonight. There is no place for us to stay around. Although this place is a bit dilapidated,
And the environment isn’t that great, but it’s still better than sleeping on the streets.”
After listening to Lu Chen's words, Bai Yu felt relieved. After all, Lu Chen and his own powerful Taoism and magic power are not comparable to these ordinary people. After a while, there was a man wearing linen clothes.
The man with a dark complexion walked towards Lu Chen and Bai Yu.
After looking at it, he turned to them and said, "Are you guests who want to stay in two rooms?" After hearing this, Lu Chen understood that he must be the person sent by the owner of the store to show them the room.
Then she said calmly to him: "Yes, it's us."
The servant was obviously surprised by Lu Chen's cold tone. He was lost in thought for a moment. When Bai Yu saw that he didn't want to continue speaking, he waved his hand in front of him. The servant then
He immediately came back to his senses and said to them: "Sorry, two guests, I have kept you waiting for so long. I will take you two up to visit the room now."
After Lu Chen heard this, he raised his legs and followed the servant. Bai Yu also followed closely behind Lu Chen. The two of them were taken to the second floor by the servant and walked to the two rooms. The servant
He was given two keys.
Then he ordered: "The room on the left belongs to you, the guest, and the room on the right belongs to this girl, so I won't disturb you too much. Guests, please pack your things. Dinner will be ready later."
Now, I will ask you to come down for dinner."
After Lu Chen heard this, he nodded to the servant, and then the servant left. Bai Yu felt something was strange, so he asked Lu Chen in a low voice: "I think there is something weird about the people here.
, just now I saw that the store owner and the waiter had strange expressions. It was like they were brewing a conspiracy. Lu Chen, I think we should leave this place quickly before we can move in.
Well, the more I think about it, the creepier I feel."
After Lu Chen heard this, he said to Bai Yu: "Okay, let's not think about anything more, just live here with peace of mind. I don't think there is much here. Think about it, it's a hundred miles away."
It's just such an inn, if we leave here, where will we stay?" After hearing this, Bai Yu muttered and nodded.
Afterwards, the two of them walked into their respective rooms. The reason Lu Chen said those words to Bai Yu was actually because he saw a figure beside him and did not leave.
Lu Chen realized that someone was eavesdropping on the conversation between them, so he deliberately said those words. Now it seems that the whole inn is very strange. Lu Chen decided in his heart to investigate carefully.
Observing quietly and carefully in secret, you must not let those people see that you have discovered something strange about them.
It was night, and a round of moonlight slowly rose. The bright light enveloped the entire earth. Every household was closed and a wolf howl pierced the entire sky. The two red lanterns hanging in front of the inn door were particularly bright.
Eye...
The night has come, and from time to time, a voice comes from outside, "It's dry and things are dry, be careful of the candle." The voice of the watchman is continuous. At this moment, Lu Chen and Bai Yu are tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The two of them must be on guard and be vigilant at all times, otherwise, something unexpected may happen. Lu Chen lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling and looking up, as if he was thinking about something...
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside and reached Lu Chen's ears.
"Closer, closer!"
The footsteps clicked upward step by step, and they were almost at the top of the stairs.
Lu Chen was already ready on the bed. As soon as someone came in, he would immediately launch an attack. He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to attack him at night. After that, the voice became even louder.
, the impatient one is walking back and forth outside the corridor.
Lu Chen had already possessed himself on the bed, ready to jump up as soon as the person came close. He had a sword in his hand that he could use to assassinate him. Bai Yu in the other room also heard some sounds.
, coupled with some strange things observed today, they also realized that someone would attack them tonight.
So Bai Yu did not slack off and immediately walked to the door of the room, preparing to welcome the person's arrival. Closer, closer, the owner of the footsteps seemed to have walked to Lu Chen's door. Lu Chen stared at it intently.
Looking at the door, there was a click, as if something had been unscrewed. Lu Chen realized that his door was about to be opened.
Lu Chen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The man walked in quietly and tiptoed around in Lu Chen's room. He didn't know whether it was because he couldn't see clearly or for some reason, but he just didn't get close to Lu Chen.
I don’t know if this person has other ideas.
Lu Chen's dark eyes were like a bright gem in the dark night, staring at all the movements of that person. All the movements of that person were caught by Lu Chen, but he did not notice it.
.
Suddenly a burst of fragrance hit him, and Lu Chen was a little confused. Why did the man sneak into his room so carefully just to light an incense? After lighting the incense, the man lightly covered Lu Chen's door.
Just left.
In the dark night, Lu Chen could more or less see his figure. This person was a short man, and he was a little fat. Therefore, he should be a man. Lu Chen speculated that he might be this
A member of the inn.
What on earth was that incense? Lu Chen didn't understand, but it was definitely not a good thing. With a pop, Lu Chen stood up from the bed, quietly walked over to where the incense was just now, and put his
He waved his hands next to the incense stick, and the strong fragrance spread into Lu Chen's nose.
Lu Chen frowned and quickly turned around to avoid the aroma, because the aroma was a bit pungent. It was okay to smell it from a distance, but when he smelled it up close, he felt an inexplicable sensation in his throat.
Itching.
Lu Chen wanted to find out what the incense was, so he immediately snuffed out the incense, and then looked at it with a candle. Only to find that the incense was actually the soul-taking incense.
This soul-taking incense can only be possessed by dark forces, so why would it appear in that person's hands?
