Yinshan Record

Chapter 137 Welcoming the Inn
The existence of places like the Ghost Ancestral Palace of Beiman and the Yin-Yang Boundary of Guobei is indeed a long-term benefit to ghost cultivators throughout the world.

The streets were deserted and desolate, and the pedestrians looked pale and sickly.

A thought crossed Su San Gongzi's mind.

Where exactly is the boundary between Yin and Yang?

"The journey is fraught with danger, and it's still a long time before noon. We might as well find a place to rest."

The old man with the big ghost rushed toward Su Che and said with a smile, "I do know a place where the meat is extremely delicious. How about I be a small host and invite Young Master Zuo to have a seat?"

Su Che glanced at Lu Bai beside him.

The liaison officer of the Imperial Guard should still be waiting at the inn; let's make contact with him first.

"Well, that's fine, but I was originally planning to find an inn to stay in first."

Su Che smiled slightly: "However, although the fragrant meat tastes delicious, I'm afraid Mr. Tai is not fortunate enough to enjoy it?"

Ghosts are yin in nature. Apart from a few ghosts like zombies, most ghosts are unable to enjoy the five grains and five flavors because they do not have a physical body.

The smoke and fire of human life, and the incense burning in the human world, are actually the natural dividing line between humans and spirits. If one can unite the two into one, that is spiritual cultivation.

“This is Guobei County. However, if Young Master Zuo needs to find a place to stay, there is a Yuelai Inn in Guobei County. The owner is a friend of mine. Why don’t I arrange for Young Master Zuo to stay here first?”

Su Che still wanted to enter the Yin-Yang Realm as soon as possible to find out what was going on, but there was still no news from the mysterious East Sea sword cultivator. Entering the realm now would be unpredictable, with both good and bad fortune uncertain.

The most urgent task is to contact the Imperial Guards first.

Zhang San should already be waiting at the Yuelai Inn.

"Oh, that's great."

Su Che lowered his head and said softly, "Actually, I think there's no rush regarding entering the realm. It still depends on what that person wants. Of course, Mr. Zuo and Mr. Tai are in the same boat through thick and thin, but that person is the one who stirs up trouble."

"Young master is wise and insightful."

Taigong Chong gave a thumbs up: "That's exactly what I meant too."

The two people and the ghost walked towards the Yuelai Inn, laughing and joking all the way.

The Yuelai Inn is about three stories high, with apricot-yellow banners hanging outside and a couplet on each side.

Welcoming guests from all directions to Penglai, and joyfully receiving the Mani Pearl from all corners of the world.

"This couplet really shows the shopkeeper's magnanimity."

Lu Bai pointed to the wooden couplets hanging on the left and right and said.

Above the East Sea are ten continents, the most famous of which is Penglai Continent. Unlike the Central Plains, the ten continents are inhabited by cultivators, many of whom are people from the Central Plains who aspire to cultivate. Hence, they are called Penglai Longevity Guests.

In Buddhism, there is a treasure called the "Mani Bead," also known as the Wish-Fulfilling Bead. Legend has it that this bead can transform into countless treasures to fulfill the owner's wishes, and holding it can ward off disasters, prolong life, and protect against poison, fire, wind, and thunder.

"Hey, greetings to you all. Are you here for a meal or to stay at the inn?"

The waiter had a white handkerchief draped over his shoulder, his eyes and brows filled with a smile, and he grinned widely.

"We also eat and stay at hotels."

Taigong Chong chuckled and said, "Prepare two adjacent superior rooms."

"Oh, sir," the waiter said, looking at the old man dressed in a black robe. "I'm not very good at recognizing people, I didn't see you for a moment."

Taigong Chong fell without taking offense.

"Just take good care of them."

"That's unfortunate," the waiter said with a grin, "Our shop is full."

"Then let's grab a bite."

Su Che pointed to the empty tables inside: "There must still be seats available."

"Sir, I'm sorry."

The waiter's face showed genuine apology.

"The rice and flour bins are all empty."

"What do you mean? You're not going to do business with us?"

Having said that, Lu Bai understood the meaning behind it all.

"If you two come on your own, our shop will certainly treat you."

The waiter looked apologetic: "I just came with the old man, so the rice and flour bins must be empty."

Lu Bai was furious upon hearing this, but his anger wasn't directed at the waiter; instead, he looked at the ghost messenger beside him.

The implication is that Taigong Chong knew this place was hostile to him, yet he still brought the two of them here, so he must not have any good intentions.

"They're making a scene again?"

Grandfather sighed.

The waiter nodded helplessly.

"Then let's go to another one."

Taigong rushed towards Su Che and Lu Bai and clasped his hands in greeting.

"I apologize for my poor hospitality, and I hope you two will forgive me."

Su Che smiled upon hearing this.

It seems there are significant conflicts among the six Ghost Generals.

The power of nature in the Yin-Yang realm needs no further explanation.

The shops in Guobei County would never have been able to stay in business without the help of a certain ghost general.

Taigong Chong just said, "It's started making a fuss again," which means this is definitely not the first time he's encountered something like this.

Su Che speculated that one or two of the six Ghost Generals must have fallen out, and one of them had directly ordered his various shops not to entertain anyone from their rival's territory. Sigh, why did it have to come to this?

Su Che thought that even local thugs wouldn't cause such a commotion; it was more like village women fighting.

These six people have really gone too far; they've really lost all sense of shame.

"Second Brother."

Su Che took out a small string of iron coins from his sleeve and placed it on Xiao Shou's hand.

"Actually, we weren't familiar with this Mr. Tai; we just bumped into him at the city gate."

The waiter bowed deeply.

"Young master, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just following orders."

"I know."

Su Che smiled and said, "You just need to arrange your accommodation."

"It's not that I, a lowly person, am making things difficult for you, young master..."

"I am Zuo Lengchan, a disciple of the Ghost Ancestor Palace of Beimang."

Su Che said calmly.

"what?"

Xiao Er had never heard of any Ghost Ancestor Palace...

"My master was Huang Kou, the swordsman who was buried in Beiman."

"I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time."

The waiter gave a perfunctory reply, thinking to himself that he should just get rid of them.

"A guest of Beiman Gate can be killed but not humiliated."

"what?"

“If I can’t move in today,” Su Che’s eyes were rather cold, “you can move to the Yin-Yang Realm.”

The waiter, however, was not afraid.

“Young master, you should also inquire about who our Welcome Inn is backing in Guobei County. The Ghost Ancestor of Beimang, what is that?”

"Shut up."

A long shout came from inside the inn.

A burly, towering woman wore a small red silk blouse, with four layers of hard flesh folded around her neck.

"Manager."

The waiter called out to the inside.

"Slap him three hundred times."

The woman in the iron tower smiled at Su Che, revealing a set of gleaming white steel teeth.

"My servants are ignorant and have offended you, young master. I apologize in advance."

Su Che looked at the robust, fat woman, who was full of energy, with strong muscles and bones, and a fierce aura emanating from her.

She's either a wild boar spirit that ran out of Xuan Mountain, or a female martial artist who practices external martial arts.

"Does Your Excellency intend to take responsibility for the sin of humiliating the Ghost Ancestor Palace of Beimang?"

Su Che reached out with his right hand, and the magical power of the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual surged, revealing a long sword formed from Yin energy in his hand.

"Ignorance is no excuse. Sir, you are already a person who has transcended worldly affairs. Why bother with such a petty person?"

The plump woman looked at Taigong Chong beside her.

"Grandma, won't you say something?"

"Young Master Zuo, this..."

"Who are you?"

Su Che stood with his hand on his sword, his sword aura condensed but not yet unleashed.

He glanced contemptuously at Taigong Chong beside him.

"I told you, I'm not familiar with this guy surnamed Tai."

As he spoke, Taigong Chong cast a helpless glance at the plump woman.

"This is Lady Tie, a subordinate of Lord Linghu."

The old ghost explained.

"She is the person in charge that you are looking for."

It turns out to be Lord Linghu.

Su Che remembered reading some information; among the six Ghost Generals, Xue Shaojun, the Prime Minister, held the most power in all matters, big and small.

However, in terms of cultivation level, Linghu Gong ranks first.

Legend has it that he was a thousand-year-old black fox, but later his powers and form dissipated, and a trace of his spirit was guided to the Yin-Yang realm by the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

This one, among the six Ghost Generals, has always been a free spirit.

In other words, he doesn't get along well with anyone.

Making up for yesterday's.
