Chapter Three Hundred and Fortieth: Ghost Lighting
In the afternoon, the sun set in the west, and the gorgeous red clouds dyed a large area of the western sky red. It was extremely gorgeous. At the main entrance outside Luotian Town, He Xing and four members of the Ming Dynasty were quietly waiting here.
At the same time, next to them, there was an old man in his fifties or sixties dressed as a squire, who was the mayor of Luotian Town. In addition to the mayor of Luotian Town, there were also many people standing next to him.
They are all dressed as country squires, and they are all powerful people in Luotian Town. The Ming Dynasty has amazing power in Mingcheng, and Luotian Town is so far away from Mingcheng, so they will be more or less affected by Mingcheng's influence.
Radiation, so after learning about He Xing's arrival, the dignitaries in Luotian Town did not dare to neglect, and came over to greet He Xing one after another, while ordinary people who did not want to watch the excitement gathered behind them.
However, He Xing didn't pay much attention to these people. At the moment, he was focused on the upcoming big shots from the Wu Sect. He had never seen the newcomers. He only knew some basic information about the newcomers from Xu Hong.
The newly appointed big shot at the top of the family was very young, which made him feel a little uneasy, because most young people who succeed are arrogant and difficult to get along with.
He was a little worried that the arriving Wu Sect big shot might be too arrogant and difficult to receive. He was thinking about this, but He Xing's face didn't show it. He looked calm and indifferent, and ignored Luo Luo next to him.
The mayor of Tian Town and others, as well as the mayor of Luotian Town and others next to him, did not dare to say anything and disturb He Xing when they saw him like this. They also stood quietly beside him and waited quietly.
Time passed, and after about a while, the sun set on the mountains to the west. At this time, a black car slowly appeared on the street outside the town, coming this way.
Everyone waiting at the gate of the town was shocked. They saw the car slowly approaching. The car stopped at the gate of the town. He Xing and four people from the Ming Dynasty quickly came up to meet him.
"So many people?" Lin Tianqi sat in the passenger seat, looking at the people outside, frowning, and then looked at He Xing and his party who were walking over, and said, "People from the Daming Club?"
"Exactly, I'm He Xing, I've met you sir." When He Xing heard Lin Tianqi's voice, he immediately became excited. He immediately knew that Lin Tianqi and the others must be from the Wu sect, so he responded respectfully.
Lin Tianqi nodded when he heard this, then looked at the people at the door, and said.
"There are a lot of people here, let's go in first and then talk."
"Yes." He San also responded immediately, and then winked at the four men behind him. The four people immediately understood and walked towards the door to disperse the crowd gathered at the door.
"Get in the car and sit in the back."
Lin Tianqi said another word to He Xing, told him to get in the car, and then slowly drove towards the town.
........................................
"I am congratulating you. I have met you, sir, and both of you."
"My surname is Lin, and these two are my assistants, Xu Qiang and Fang Ming."
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Xu, Mr. Fang."
After a while, the group entered Luotian Town, got off the car and went to the inn room that He Xing had reserved in advance, and greeted each other.
Lin Tianqi sat on a chair with a calm expression. Li Qiang and Fang Ming stood next to him. He Xing and the four members of the Daming Society stood in front, looking a little reserved. Their eyes secretly looked at the three of them from time to time, especially when
Lin Tianqi was a little surprised. They didn't expect Lin Tianqi to be so young. His youthfulness was beyond their expectations.
"How is the situation now?"
Lin Tianqi didn't care about the people's looks, but asked directly.
"Back to Mr. Lin, I have sent more than thirty brothers into the mountain at noon to search for that inn. If there is any news, I think there will be news soon."
He Xing replied, Lin Tianqi nodded slightly, did not make a comment, but pondered for a while and asked again.
"Have you ever checked the specific source of the legend about that inn in Luotian Town during this period?"
"source."
The expressions of several other people present flickered slightly when they heard this, and they looked at Lin Tianqi in confusion.
Lin Tianqi felt the doubtful looks of several people and said.
"I have researched the stories about that inn. According to the information, the strange legend about that inn originated from Luotian Town. It is also said that the inn is an inn for the dead. As long as the living person encounters it,
There is death but no life, but here, there is an obvious question. Since a living person will definitely die if he encounters it, then who spread the news about this?"
Lin Tianqi tapped his fingers on the table, looked at the people and said.
Several people were shocked when they heard this. Indeed, they had ignored this before. All their attention was focused on the legendary inn, and they did not realize the source of this rumor. According to the rumor, living people
I encountered death and no life in that inn, so who spread the news about this? Could it be that it was spread by ghosts?
"Mr. Lin means that someone has ulterior motives for spreading this matter..."
He Xing looked at Lin Tianqi with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"I'm not sure, but something does not make sense here."
Lin Tianqi pinched his fingers and said.
"It is not ruled out that someone deliberately spreads this weird rumor, but it is also possible that it is indeed true. It is possible. But no matter what, if you can find the source of the rumor, you should be able to find out something. In this way, Mr. He, you can bring people
Go check it out and find out where this rumor came from recently."
"Li Qiang, you also go with Mr. He to help you and find out as soon as possible. I'll wait for your news here."
Lin Tianqi said to He Xing and Li Qiang next to him.
"yes!"
Immediately, several people took the order and walked out.
"Sir, do you think someone is deliberately spreading such weird rumors to confuse people?"
After Li Qiang, He Xing and four people from the Daming Society left, only Lin Tianqi and Fang Ming were left in the room. Fang Ming frowned and asked him.
"I don't know either."
Lin Tianqi shook his head. How could he know such a thing? He didn't have the ability to calculate. The reason why He Xing and Li Qiang were asked to check the source of this rumor was just to find a loophole in it. It felt like they might find it.
There are some clues, so let them check it out.
"Come on, let's go out for a cup of tea and ask around."
Lin Tianqi said again, standing up from the chair, Fang Ming also nodded, and the two of them set off and walked out of the room together.
After the sun goes down, it gets dark very quickly, but it only takes a while for people to notice that the sky is getting dark.
Luotian Town, a rather remote house in the east, a small fenced courtyard, and an old wooden house.
An old man stumbled to the courtyard door with a bottle of wine in his hand and drank while walking. He pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard. He sat down on a stool in the courtyard and drank a few sips of wine. He saw that the sky was completely dark.
, the wind was blowing a bit cold outside, so I got up and walked into the house.
When he opened the door, the room was dark, and he could hardly see his hands and fingers. However, the old man was obviously very familiar with the situation in the room. He skillfully touched the wall of the room and came to a window. Under the window was a small desk, with separate areas on the desk.
There were oil lamps, matches and a mirror.
"Gudong!"
The old man took another sip of wine, then placed the flask next to the counter, groped for the firewood on the counter, opened it and took out one.
"Sand-sand-click-"
The old man struck it hard several times, but the match broke without igniting.
"rustle--"
There was the sound of a match striking fire again.
The old man struck two more matches in succession, but none of them lit.
"Let me help you."
Just when the old man was about to draw the fourth stroke, a voice sounded in front of him.
"Chi!"
Then, like the sound of a match being struck, a burning firewood appeared and helped him light the oil lamp on the desk.
"Thanks."
The old man thanked him, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly became smart.
Realizing that he was the only one living in his house all this time, where did the second person come from?
His brain suddenly woke up. He raised his head and saw a blue and purple hand in the mirror on the desk in front of him.
