Ever since Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai made up their mind, they wanted to make a big deal, so they paid more attention on the way home, hoping to find a profitable deal that would allow them to make a lot of money and use it for "
Returning home in fine clothes".
That night, after traveling all day, they finally arrived at a place called Rice Field Town. Seeing that it was getting dark, they were ready to find an inn to stay. However, when they arrived at the town, they discovered that there was not even a single person in the town.
nothing.
"Qiu Sheng, what's going on? Could it be that there was a disaster here and everyone fled?" Wen Cai was a little surprised.
"Are you stupid? We passed by a lot of villages today. Do you see any of them that look like disasters?" Qiu Sheng also felt that something was wrong, but he did not think that there was a disaster.
"Yes, then what should we do?" Wencai didn't have any opinions along the way. Now, Qiu Sheng basically makes the decision on everything, so it will be the same this time.
"Let's look for an inn first. If we're lucky, there should be room for us. Let's talk about other things after we settle down." Qiu Sheng had no good idea, so he could only find a place to stay first.
The two of them soon discovered the inn in the town. Qiu Sheng even found that someone was living there, so the two of them went to call the door and wanted to stay here.
"We're lucky. I didn't expect someone to be at the inn. Now we don't have to sleep in the wilderness." Wen Cai was very happy and thought they were lucky.
"The store is open, we want to stay." Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai called the door.
Unexpectedly, when someone called the door, the inn immediately became quiet. The two of them were a little confused, but they kept calling the door, and finally heard the answer this time.
"You guys, are you humans or ghosts?" The voice that answered was a little trembling.
"Shopkeeper, are you kidding? Of course we are human beings?" Qiu Sheng was a little angry.
"Yes, shopkeeper, we two are Taoist priests who have traveled here, and we would like to stay here tonight." Wencai also said.
"Taoist priests, are you really Taoist priests?" The people in the door were very happy.
"Yes, we are indeed Maoshan Taoist priests. Please open the store quickly." Qiu Sheng could only answer patiently.
Finally, the door of the inn opened, but when the two people went in, they were surprised because the room was full of people, and some people were still laying beds on the floor.
"Store, what's going on? Business is so good?" Wen Cai was a little confused.
"Hey, no matter how good the business is, there is nothing you can do." The waiter said helplessly as he closed the store door again.
"Store, what do you have to complain about such a good deal? You've made a fortune tonight!" After Qiu Sheng walked in, he felt much better and even teased the waiter.
"Hey, you two guests, you don't know something. How lucky are you tonight? They have been staying here for several days and can't leave at all." The waiter said helplessly.
"What's going on? Is there any problem on the road ahead?" Wen Cai asked.
"It's not that there's anything wrong with the roads, it's that there are no roads at all. We've been trapped in this town for four or five days." A man who looked like a scholar interrupted.
"What's your last name? What do you mean by this?" Qiu Sheng felt something was a little strange.
"My surname is Wang, Wang Xuewen. I saw that you two were wearing Taoist robes, so I wanted to ask you for help." This Wang Xuewen seems to have some status, because when he spoke, everyone kept quiet, as if they were in awe of him.
.
"I don't know what kind of help Donor Wang wants from us? And what did the guy mean by what he said just now?"
"Hey, let me tell you the truth, all of us are trapped here, because as long as we leave the town and walk a few miles, we will return to the town inexplicably, and now we can't get out at all."
Wang Xuewen explained.
"No way, is it a ghost hitting the wall? Is it just a small problem?" Wen Cai thought it was a ghost hitting the wall, so there shouldn't be a big problem.
"Originally we thought so too, but we can't always fight against the wall. It has been four or five days, and everyone is the same. Moreover, we can hear the sound of troops marching at night. Some curious people went out to see, and the results were all...
He died on the road with no scars on his body, so now no one dares to go out at night." Wang Xuewen explained the problem to the two of them.
"How is it possible that ghosts have been beating the wall for four or five days in a row? There was still the sound of troops marching at night, and everyone who went out to see them died on the road. There were no scars on their bodies. How could this be possible?"
I cut the tax umbrella! The nose is the same as the one on the right.
"Qiu Sheng, don't scare me. How come you can't leave the town during the day when you encounter a hundred ghosts walking at night? Besides, it can't happen every night?" Wen Cai thought it was impossible.
"That's true. Even if the footsteps at night are a hundred ghosts walking at night, what's the point of ghosts hitting the wall in broad daylight?" Qiu Sheng was also a little confused.
"Two Taoist priests, we don't know what's going on. Wang came here just to ask you to take us out tomorrow. The price is easy to negotiate. We will not treat the two Taoist priests badly." Wang Xuewen finally said his intention.
Purpose.
"This is no problem at all. You can go with us tomorrow." Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai immediately agreed to go on the road with them as soon as they heard that they were being paid.
At this time, footsteps on the street outside sounded again. Everyone in the inn held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. After all, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had some cultivation and could feel the strong Yin energy outside.
, I felt a little worried.
"No, Wencai, did you feel it? Qiu Sheng didn't speak, he only communicated with Wencai with his eyes. The two grew up together, and they still have a tacit understanding at the critical moment. How could Wencai not feel the cloudy sky outside?
Angry, Qiu Sheng, we may be in big trouble."
The footsteps passed quickly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai did not feel as relaxed as before. They felt it much more than ordinary people.
"Boy, did anything strange happen in your town before this happened?" Qiu Sheng wanted to know something about the situation. After all, such a strange thing couldn't happen for no reason.
"Weird thing, huh?"
What is the meaning of this?
"Okay, of course. I wonder what the origin of this General Temple is?" Qiu Sheng asked quickly.
"I don't know about this. It should have been around since ancient times. For many years, no one has paid attention to it, and there is not much incense. By the way, our shopkeepers should know something about it." The clerk is not sure either.
"What about your shopkeeper?" Wen Cai asked.
"How dare the shopkeeper live here at this time? He will go home before night, and he will only come back at dawn." The waiter said with some dissatisfaction.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai saw that the waiter really didn't know anything, so they didn't ask any more questions. The two of them had been traveling for a day and had to deal with possible emergencies tomorrow, so they found a place to sleep.
