Xia Leng and the others immediately turned their heads and looked over, and sure enough, a black shadow flashed past.
Ji Jiu didn't wait for Xia Leng's orders, and jumped out of the window in an instant, chasing Liuliu towards the black shadow.
About two or three minutes later, Ji Jiu came back with a solemn look on his face and reported to Xia Lenghui: "I lost the pursuit."
"Have you seen what the other party looks like?" Xia Leng asked casually.
Ji Jiu thought for a while and hesitated: "It doesn't look like a human being, it's just a shadow, walking close to the ground, very fast."
"Ghost, it must be a ghost." The waiter in the shop was shocked and trembling: "That ghost must be here to kill me. He is coming to kill me. Now I am dead."
"Why does this ghost want to kill you?" Xia Leng stared at the waiter, "Did you do anything to it?"
"No, no." The waiter shook his head repeatedly, "How dare I do anything to him? I saw that ghostly figure killing people a few days ago. He must have come to kill me to silence him."
Xia Leng found this interesting. If a person is seen doing bad things by others, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, he will indeed choose to kill someone to silence him. But is it necessary for ghosts to do so? So, either the waiter in the shop is talking nonsense, or the shadow is not there at all.
Not a ghost.
"Isn't that right? If a murder really happened in this inn, it should have been closed down by the government a long time ago. How come nothing happened?" Ji Jiu questioned, obviously not believing what the waiter said.
Xia Leng saw that the waiter in the shop was frightened, so he took out a few silver needles and gave him a few needles to calm him down a little. As Xia Leng's son, of course Xia Leng also knew acupuncture, but he just learned it.
It is not the eight anti-heaven acupuncture techniques, but another set of acupuncture techniques taught by Yue Qingya. It is a pure and superior medical technique and cannot be used for practice.
The waiter glanced at Xia Leng gratefully, and then said with a sad face: "It's not that I don't report to the official, but that the young master later lived again, and no one believed me if I reported to the official."
"Alive again?" Xia Leng frowned slightly and stared at the waiter coldly, "Since you want to ask me for help, you'd better explain the matter clearly from beginning to end, and you'd better not lie in front of me."
"Yes, yes, I don't dare." The waiter in the shop didn't know why, but he felt vaguely that the young master's eyes were scarier than that ghost, "Three days ago, when it was getting dark, there was a young man
A rich young man came to the inn to stay with his two beautiful maids. There were no other guests in our shop at that time, so the shopkeeper asked me to serve the young man with all my heart."
Xia Leng kept staring at the waiter's eyes to see if he was lying.
Ji Jiu also pretended to listen carefully, but in fact, his mind was always on the periphery of the room, guarding against the return of the ghost before.
"The young master was silent after entering the room, and he didn't come out until midnight." The waiter continued: "I was afraid that the guest was hungry, so I wanted to ask the guest if he needed to prepare food, but I found that the door was not closed, and
There was no sound at all in the room, it was so... so quiet that I couldn't help but move a little bit..."
"What did you see?" Xia Leng noticed the look of horror on the waiter's face and couldn't help but ask.
"I saw..." the waiter said tremblingly, "The young master seems to be talking to someone, but her two maids are already lying on the ground, covered in blood, they are probably dead."
Ji Jiu suddenly interrupted the waiter and asked in a cold voice: "Wait, they are talking, so why is there no sound?" "I don't know this little guy." The waiter shrank his neck timidly, "But
, I am sure I am talking to a ghost. I saw a bit of a ghost through the crack in the door, with a green face and fangs, and a fierce look..."
"Didn't you just say that you haven't seen it with your own eyes? Why are you peeking through the crack in the door now?" Ji Jiu asked with a sneer.
"Well..." The waiter hesitated to speak.
Xia Leng didn't care about this and said, "Go on, what happened next?"
"Later." The waiter continued: "The young man suddenly got angry and seemed to be cutting something with a sword. Then he was bitten to death by a very big mouth. He and his clothes were also eaten.
I was so frightened that I ran straight back to my room and hid under the quilt. The shopkeeper dragged me out at dawn."
"Sir, I think this guy is obviously making up a story." Ji Jiu frowned, "And he's making it up so full of flaws, I don't know what he's trying to do."
"I'm not lying. Didn't you see the ghost's shadow just now?" The waiter in the shop became anxious and kowtowed to Xia Leng: "You are immortal cultivators and immortals. I wouldn't dare to lie to you even if I gave ten thousand courages to a villain.
"
Xia Leng did not make an immediate judgment, but just thought for a while and then asked: "Did you just say that he lived again later?"
"Yes, that's where the blame lies." The waiter was also confused, "At that time, I was hesitant to report the matter to the shopkeeper, but I saw the young master and two maids coming out of the room, saying they wanted breakfast.
.I was almost scared to death, but they didn’t look like dead people at all, they could eat, drink, dance and sing.”
"What else?" Xia Leng noticed that the waiter's eyes were twinkling when he spoke, "Since you're looking for me, it's best not to hide it, understand?"
"Yes, I'll tell you right now." The waiter said hurriedly: "Seeing that they were still alive, I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I waited until midnight to take a peek again. And then I saw..."
This time it was Ji Jiu who asked: "What did you see?"
"It was the same scene as the previous night in the middle of the night, but this time I saw a little bit of a ghost, and it seemed to have seen me." The waiter's voice gradually became smaller, as if he was afraid that someone would hear him: "Such things happen one after another.
Three days…”
"Wait a minute." Xia Leng heard something strange, "Three days in a row? What do you mean, that so-called young master is still in the inn?"
The waiter hesitated for a moment, his eyelids trembled, his throat moved, and he nodded: "Yes, actually, his room is next to yours. He didn't come out all day today. Now, it's midnight again, and the villain is really scared.
So I want to ask two immortals to save me."
"Sir, this waiter is just talking nonsense." At this time, Xiao Xiuer opened the door and walked in, with her hands on her waist, glaring at the waiter: "You dare to talk nonsense to my master, you want to die, right?"
The waiter felt very unjust: "What the villain said is all the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood. Otherwise, the villain will be struck by lightning from heaven!"
Click!
What a coincidence, there was really a loud thunder outside, which almost scared the waiter to death.
"Look, God can't stand listening anymore." Xiao Xiuer glared at the waiter, "Why don't you get out of here and boil some hot water. Our young master must take a bath before going to bed."
"Yes, yes! I'm going to boil the water now." The waiter had no choice but to stand up and walked out of Xia Leng's room with sadness.
Xia Leng just thought he had heard a story, looked at Xiao Xiuer and asked: "Where is she?"
"Who are you talking about?" Xiao Xiu'er was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses: "You're talking about Xiao Ling'er, she's already asleep. I'm here to wait for the young master. A rough guy like Ji Jiu can't wait for the young master to take a bath and go to bed."
Ji Jiu glanced at Xiao Xiuer strangely. There was no characteristic expression on her face. She just said lightly: "I'll go out and check the surrounding situation."
"There's no need to wait today, you can go back and rest." Xia Leng yawned, "I'm sleepy too, I'll go to bed soon."
Xiao Xiuer said with some self-blame: "Master, do you dislike this slave? Serving you is the slave's duty. If you don't let this slave do this, then what's the point of staying with you?"
"I really dislike you." Xia Leng stared at Xiao Xiu'er and said without hesitation: "And I dislike you very much. I feel sick every second I see you. It's so disgusting that I feel like vomiting."
"Mr. Young Master, you..." Xiao Xiuer was stunned. She couldn't believe that these words came from Xia Leng's mouth. When she came back to her senses, her eyes instantly became moist. She wanted to say something, but her tears couldn't stop.
Residential flow.
"What am I?" Xia Leng said expressionlessly: "Am I ruthless? Am I unjust? Or am I incomprehensible?"
Xiao Xiuer didn't know what to say, so she could only cover her face with her hands and sobbed: "The master is not at fault, the fault lies with me. If I don't serve you well, I will die."
Xia Leng actually nodded: "Well, then go and die."
"Young master, you actually hate this slave so much?" Xiao Xiuer's eyes widened, a little unbelievable: "Do I really hate you so much?"
"Hate? This is completely out of the question." Xia Leng shook his head slightly, "You and I don't know each other, and we don't have any friendship at all. How can there be any love or hate? You think too much."
Xiao Xiuer was stunned: "What do you mean, Master?"
"Don't understand?" Xia Leng looked at Xiao Xiu'er in front of her and explained casually: "Although my maid is a little stupid and a little wordy, she doesn't call herself a slave, and she never serves me to bathe or change clothes, because of this
I told her. She will always remember what I say."
Xiao Xiuer stopped crying, her tears stopped instantly, and her eyes gradually became playful: "It's true, you are a good prospect. As soon as you entered the inn today, I will keep an eye on you."
"No matter how good the seedling is, you can't covet it." Xia Leng said lightly, "Also, show your true colors. I don't like it when you talk like this stupid girl."
Xiao Xiuer smiled and shook her head: "That won't work. I like this body very much. I just learned a few points. If I become more familiar with it, it might come in handy in the future."
"You don't have to think so much." Xia Leng's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly had a bit of Xia Tian's look: "Because you have no future."
"You're not young, but you have a very loud tone." Xiao Xiuer curled her lips and said with disdain: "Then I will collect your soul first, and then slowly refine your body into my vessel. This is
The blessing you have accumulated in eight lifetimes."
"Stop talking nonsense, use any tricks soon." Xia Leng's face showed little expression, "Whether you are a ghost or not, don't delay my sleep."
"Looking for death!" Xiao Xiu'er snorted coldly, and turned into a ghost shadow, covering Xia Leng. At the top of the ghost shadow was a huge dog head, opening its bloody mouth and biting Xia Leng's head.
Snap!
There was a soft sound, and the head exploded instantly.
