"Yes, almost everyone who walks this mountain road will stay here for a night." Luo Jin introduced, "This is the case for everyone traveling from north to south."

"Is that so?" Lu Zheng blinked and wondered, could this inn be the same as the Ai Weng he met in Dongxiang County, Yizhou that day?

However, Ivern also built the manor in a remote place, so what is the situation like with this inn?

"Although this inn is a bit shabby, the innkeeper has decorated it well." The man surnamed Zhang introduced, "And the food and accommodation are pretty good."

"That's it..." Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan looked at each other, then nodded, "Okay, let's go in."

As we get closer and closer to the inn, the yin energy emitted by the inn becomes stronger and stronger.

Moreover, there was only a faint light coming from the window paper between the door and window of the inn, and it didn't look like there were any guests in the inn.

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and saw Luo Jin knocking on the inn door, and then someone opened the inn door from the inside.

"Oh, there are actually guests!"

The waiter poked his head out of the door, his eyes lit up, and he warmly invited, "Several guests, please come inside!"

Luo Jin nodded and handed the waiter two coins, "We will arrange twelve large shops for us. Are there any other small rooms?"

"Yes!" The waiter in the shop took the copper coins, nodded and bowed.

"Then ask for a small room." Luo Jin said with some pain.

His initial idea was to let Lu Zheng and the two of them spend the night together, but after discovering that Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan might be warriors today, he naturally did not dare to let their money go to waste.

Fortunately, a small room only cost 100 yuan, so he could afford it.

"Okay!" the waiter agreed, "How many of you want to eat? I'll prepare some for you."

"Okay!" Luo Jin nodded.

Then the man surnamed Zhang handed over the golden pheasant and hare, "to pay for some food."

"Okay!" The waiter took the game and asked everyone to park the wheelbarrow in the small courtyard, and then led everyone into the living room, where the shopkeeper came to greet them.

"Sir, there's no one here today?" Luo Jin looked around and found that there wasn't even a single guest in the inn.

"What a coincidence, there were a lot of people yesterday, but today there is no one there." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "The few guests just happened to have a good night's sleep."

"What a coincidence. I've been away for two years, and this is the first time I've seen you here without any customers."

Luo Jin thought for a while, and he met four waves of people around noon today, including those heading south. Wasn't it very crowded here yesterday?

"Looks like I'm lucky!"

"Indeed!" the shopkeeper laughed, and led everyone into the living room to sit down. He picked up the copper pot and poured tea for everyone. "You guys have a sip of tea first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

After watching the shopkeeper go to the kitchen, Lu Zheng's eyes stayed on the teacup in front of him and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Luo Jin picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, and then breathed out, "Comfortable!"

Everyone else drank tea, only Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan remained motionless.

However, Luo Jin and others didn't care, because Lu Zheng and the others brought their own food and drinks along the way. They just thought that Lu Zheng disliked the poor quality of the tea in the inn and was unwilling to drink it.

"Shopkeeper Luo, you often go this way. This store has been open for many years?" Lu Zheng asked Luo Jin.

"Yes." Luo Jin nodded.

"The shopkeeper hasn't been changed?" Lu Zheng asked.

"No?" Luo Jin blinked, wondering why Lu Zheng asked this question, and then his heart skipped a beat and he asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with this inn?"

"No, just asking." Lu Zheng shook his head and said.

This store has been open for several years. Yesterday, the four waves of people passed by safely, which means that this store is not harmful. In this case, Lu Zheng will not meddle in other people's business.

"Guests, the food is here!"

The curtain on the back kitchen door was lifted, and the waiter came quickly with two wooden plates, and then served several large pots of vegetables and a large pot of steamed buns.

"The braised venison, steamed golden pheasant, wild side dishes and yellow rice steamed buns are all enough, sir, please take your time!"

Several cart drivers and guards picked up the steamed buns and started driving. Lu Zheng took off the coarse cloth bundle behind him, opened the bundle, and took out several wooden boxes from inside.

Opening it gently, there are various snacks and cut fresh fruits inside.

In addition, everyone also saw Lu Zheng taking out a pot of yellow-orange drink, but it had no smell and they didn't know what it tasted like.

Seeing how everyone was eating, Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan just ate the snacks and fruits in their hands silently, without any intention of exploring whether the venison, chicken, and wild vegetable steamed buns were real or fake.

It would be fine if it were true, but wouldn't it be off-putting if it were false?

What's more, once the eyes are opened, their identities as cultivators will inevitably be exposed in this ghost inn. Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan don't want to cause trouble, so let's leave it like that.



After a while, everyone in the caravan ate up their dinner in a hurry, adding some wild vegetables and steamed buns, and then headed to Datong Shop on the second floor under the guidance of the waiter.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan continued upstairs to the third floor under the guidance of the innkeeper and another waiter.

"The second floor is full of Datong shops, and the third floor is divided into some large and small rooms. In addition to a small old man living in it, the shopkeepers and guards can stay."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's just that Mr. Luo is too stingy. He never lives on the third floor. I didn't expect that he asked for a small room for the two of you. It's really rare."

Lu Zheng smiled slightly, "I paid him twice for this trip. He is not responsible for the food on the way. Why doesn't he prepare a better place for me?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and then he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I see, Master, is there something urgent going to Lingnan Road?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Attending a friend's wedding."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "No wonder, it is indeed the right wedding date. You are indeed on the right track by following Luo Laojie. This road is the nearest road through the mountains."

"I heard that if everything goes well, we can go out the day after tomorrow."

"That's a bit difficult, but it will definitely be no problem at noon on the third day."

A few people chatted and arrived at a room on the back side of the third floor.

The shopkeeper opened the door and said, "The little old man's room is next door. If you two need anything at night, just say hello."

"Thank you, shopkeeper. I think we don't have anything to ask for tonight."

"Hey, you two please come inside. The tables, chairs and beds are all clean. You two gentlemen and young ladies will have a rest first. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, thank you!"

After sending the shopkeeper out, Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan looked at each other and then at each other.

"I didn't expect that we would actually live in a haunted house again." Liu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Zheng shrugged, "This trip is much more interesting than the last time I was alone."
