"I'm afraid not. I think the other inns should be full by now."
Liu Xing shook his head and said: "And even if we can find another inn to stay in, we will be driven to the Taoist Temple for other reasons later, so I think it is better for us to go directly to the Taoist Temple, because we can collect some information in advance to avoid being taken away later.
It made me feel helpless.”
"Yes, this Taoist temple is obviously one of the most important areas in the module, so it is impossible for us to bypass it, so it is better for us to visit the Taoist temple in advance." Yin En agreed.
"I think it's better if we don't go to the Taoist temple today."
Tian Qing suddenly said: "Because judging from the current situation, although a lot of things have happened at the Taoist Temple, they all happened a long time ago, so I think something may happen tonight! And there will be trouble.
This event must be well known to everyone in Heshan County! This will lead to the next plot, so it is better for us not to go to the Taoist temple today."
"Yes, everything seems to be normal in Heshan County at present, so the real main plot should not have begun yet. We may be able to witness the beginning of the prologue by going to the Taoist Temple, but we may also encounter danger..."
Before Ding Kun finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from outside the inn.
Because the room where Liu Xing and others were sitting was directly outside the street, Yin En, who was close to the window, opened the window and looked outside.
"It seems that someone was injured, so he was carried into Heshan County by others, and this person seems to be the number one person in Heshan County, because everyone around him knows him."
Yin En frowned and continued: "This can't be a member of the Luo family, right? Judging from the information we have collected so far, the Luo family is the only local snake in Heshan County, so judging from the formation, it may be
Someone from the Luo family was injured, and it seems that they were injured outside the city."
"Is it because of the Taoist temple?"
Liu Xing thought for a while and asked: "So we want to go out and take a look? It's quite lively outside now, and we should be able to hear some interesting information."
"Of course we have to go. We have been staying in this inn just waiting for death, so we have to take the initiative." Yin En immediately stood up and said.
As a result, before Liu Xing and others could go out, Old Li Tou came to the door and said, "Dear guests, did you see anything strange before you came to Heshan County?"
Liu Xing, who was walking in front, shook his head and said seriously: "No, everything was normal while we were walking. We didn't see anything strange. We just accidentally dropped our wallet, so we had to go to the gambling house to gamble."
Make money in one fell swoop; so what happened outside just now? Did something strange appear outside the city?"
Old Li Tou sighed, nodded and said: "The third young master of the Luo family was injured just now. It is said that he went to the countryside to collect rent two days ago. As a result, he was attacked by an unknown source when he came back today. It is still unclear.
Is the attacker a human or something else, because the wounds on the body of the third young master of the Luo family are very strange, and the servants and bodyguards who accompanied him are all safe, but there is no trace of the attacker."
"Ah, then we'll be fine," Yin En said, pretending to be worried, "We just entered the city, so..."
Old Li smiled, shook his head and said: "Dear guests, please rest assured, the third young master of the Luo family was injured half an hour ago, and he was sent back all the way after being injured, so you were in the Luo family gambling house at that time.
, there is sufficient alibi, so there is no need to worry that the Luo family will cause trouble for you. Besides, the Luo family is not the kind of unreasonable person. Their ability to gain a foothold in Heshan County does not rely on strength, and the four
Words: They have long sleeves and are good at dancing, so people in Heshan County obey them."
"So that's the case, then we can rest assured."
Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "By the way, what kind of injury did the third young master of the Luo family suffer? Although we only took a glance at him just now, we saw him being carried."
"I'm not sure about this, because the third young master of the Luo family was injured very strangely. I heard that even the weapon or hidden weapon that injured him was not found, and the hidden weapon directly penetrated the third young master of the Luo family's thigh.
A big bright hole was left, so the third young master of the Luo family couldn't walk and had to be carried back by his followers." Old Li Tou said doubtfully: "I have also opened an inn here for decades.
, I have received many martial arts people like you guests here and there, so I have seen a lot of strange weapons and various hidden weapons, but I have never seen a weapon that can cause such wounds."
Hearing what Old Li Tou said, one word appeared in Liu Xing and others' minds - gun.
Of course, the gun here refers to a thermal weapon.
However, in this low martial arts plane, it is also possible that a certain martial arts master uses a slingshot as a weapon and can achieve the same effect with steel balls.
"By the way, you should be more careful these two days. It's best to go to bed early at night. If you can't afford it, don't get up at night. It would be best if you can sleep until dawn."
Old Li Tou suddenly said seriously: "You may not know that there is a rule in our Heshan County, that is, as long as it gets dark on these two days every year, it is best for everyone not to go out casually and stay in the house honestly.
Nothing will happen in the room; and if you go out, you may encounter snakes and rats coming out of nowhere, and they may turn you into a skeleton in an instant! And by tomorrow morning
, you can see dead rats and snakes everywhere on the streets."
The plot is right.
Liu Xing still pretended to be surprised and said with some doubts: "What's going on? I've been traveling all over the country for many years, but I've never heard of such a thing."
Old Li Tou sighed, shook his head and said: "This started a few decades ago. At that time, Heshan County was controlled by a large foreign family, the Huang family. The Huang family was originally from Baidu.
There is a big family in Shenglong City, but because of certain things, other families jointly drove them out, so they came to our Heshan County to become the king and hegemon. Although the Huang family was very energetic when they were driven out.
Although it was injured, it was still a behemoth for us in Heshan County. Therefore, the local families in Heshan County chose to surrender one after another. Unexpectedly, the Huang family wanted to return to Shenglong City, so they dealt with all kinds of people in Heshan County.
Squeeze, trying to get capital for a comeback."
"As you can imagine, the Huang family was very unpopular in Heshan County at that time. But because the Huang family was so powerful, we locals could only choose to obey, but secretly
We also began to think of ways to resist. As a result, the Luo family stood up at this time and were responsible for building bridges between various families, and then looking for the weaknesses of the Huang family. In the end, we actually succeeded in a sneak attack and successfully drove away the Huang family.
However, the Huang family definitely couldn't give up, so they specially summoned the legendary ancient snake god before leaving. Therefore, a large number of snakes would appear in Heshan County from time to time, making us locals miserable.
."
"First of all, let me tell you about the origin of this ancient snake god. To put it simply, it is a giant python of tens of meters. It once appeared in Shenglong City! Yes, Shenglong City got its name from this
It is related to the ancient snake god, because a long time ago, the ancient snake god fought with another white snake there. As a result, the white snake finally triggered the divine thunder in the sky, so it rose into the sky and became a divine dragon. The ancient snake god was also seriously injured and died.
They fled, so the locals built Thang Long City there; therefore we all think that the Huang family was driven away by other families in Thang Long City because of their connection with the ancient snake god, and this ancient snake god was the largest
The ability is to control all kinds of snakes."
"Because there are snakes everywhere, and these snakes appear irregularly, our ancestors were made miserable by these snakes. In the end, they had no choice but to turn to a wandering Taoist priest, who came up with a trick to fight poison with poison.
, that is, the Gray Rat King was invited to sit in Heshan County. It is said that the Gray Rat King was a rat that became a spirit, so he had the ability to control rats. Therefore, there is a statue of the Gray Rat King there, plus the corresponding
spell, then there will be a lot of rats there."
"So, after the rat king in gray was invited, the rats and snakes got into each other's arms, and eventually there was a big fight on these two nights every month, and we didn't dare to go out at will for our own safety.
, of course, if you have no choice but to go out, you must hold your breath and quickly go to where you want to go, preferably without looking back; but in the past, many martial arts masters had to do it in order to break through themselves.
Choose to fight against rats and snakes. If you win, you can become a grandmaster. If you lose, you will never come back. Of course, you will lose nine times out of ten."
Speaking of this, Lao Li showed an expression recalling the past, "Actually, I can be considered a martial arts person, because when I was still very young, there was a martial arts master invited by the Luo family to live in my house.
in the inn, and he thought I was a talent, so he taught me a lot of martial arts. As a result, he fell among the snakes in the end, and I was petrified when I went to see him for the last time.
, because that scene makes me shudder when I think about it now, so I just stayed in Heshan County and opened an inn."
Old Li Tou sighed again and continued, "Looking back now, I feel that I was too cowardly at that time. I chose to retreat when faced with such a thing, which made me stay in this small place doing nothing.
Decades...if I could go back in time, I would definitely choose to leave Heshan County and try my hand at it, and maybe it would become a well-known experience."
"It's a pity that there is no if."
Ding Kun smiled bitterly and said: "I once had a younger brother. I originally had the opportunity to protect him, but because I didn't care about what he told me at the time, he disappeared when I came to my senses. From then on, I
I have never seen him again... If possible, I would also like to go back to the past."
In fact, everyone wants to go back to the past, because everyone feels that they can do better after going back.
Liu Xing shook his head and couldn't help but look at Tian Qing, because before seeing Tian Qing again, Liu Xing occasionally thought that if he could go back to the past, he should be able to retain Tian Qing.
"Okay, old man, it's time for me to go back and prepare lunch for you. If you have any other requests, you can make them now, but they will all cost extra." Old Li Tou said with a smile.
Ding Kun also smiled, took out a silver coin and said: "Then shopkeeper, please arrange more dishes for us. This silver coin should be enough for us to eat well in these two days."
"That's enough, that's enough." Old Li took the silver coin and said, "Then I'm going to prepare some delicious food for you guests. But having said that, isn't it a bit crowded for you guests to live in three rooms?
, if you don’t mind, I can clean up the woodshed and let you stay for free. Although the conditions there are a bit worse, there is no problem in accommodating a few people."
Liu Xing and others looked at each other in confusion, but finally nodded and said, "Sorry for the innkeeper, we were just talking about whether we should split up a few people to stay in other inns."
"If you really want to stay at another inn, then definitely don't go to that Heshan Inn. The owner of that inn was notoriously stingy. You have to pay extra for a drink at his place, and he doesn't even turn on the lights at night.
They don’t even know how to order. The most important thing is that the people in this inn have dirty hands and feet, so guests often find that their money has disappeared.”
Old Li Tou said sincerely: "Although we are enemies in the same industry, I will not slander others for no reason, so you can go and ask around and you will know how deceptive this Heshan Inn is. Therefore, if we in Heshan County still
If there is an inn that is not fully occupied, it must be this Heshan Inn."
After Old Li Tou finished speaking, he left.
Returning to the room and sitting down again, Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "It seems that this is still a low-level martial arts plane with monsters, but this can be regarded as a reasonable explanation for the appearance of the group of snakes and rats; but this Luo family
And the Huang family, why do I think it is related to Luo Jun and Huang Qiu we met in the real world? As for the injury of the third young master of the Luo family, I suspect that he was hit by a gun."
"Yeah, this wound sounds like it was shot, but is there such a thing as a gun here?" Zhang Jingxu frowned and said, "Or is this something that Tener left behind on purpose? Even here?
It’s a low-level martial plane, and you can do whatever you want with a gun.”
"The most important thing is that none of those people mentioned the sound of the gun, so I suspect that the gun may have a silencer, or it may even be a sniper rifle, so that the third young master of the Luo family can be defeated silently.
