Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect
Chapter 6 The tragedy of annihilation
Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo were walking on the street, attracting a lot of attention.
It was the first time for the people of Fengxia Town to see an immortal, and they all looked at the two men with a hint of curiosity.
The girl in white was wearing pure white clothes. She had a pretty face and a scabbard hanging around her waist. The aura she exuded made her look out of place in this mundane world.
The other one was wearing a gray cloth that looked a bit rough, but since he could walk on the street with the girl in white, he must not be an ordinary person.
The place is called Fengxia Town. Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo followed the direction given by the old man and arrived here. They originally thought that everything in this town was fictional, but they were soon wrong. Just now, a little girl bumped into Xia Xiaomo while running. Everything was so real.
It seems as if this town is real, but the old man said that this is what happened after a ghost died.
The scorching wind on the street blew across her sleeves. Xia Xiaomo couldn't help but sigh that there was such a place in this secret tomb, even though she had felt that the secret tomb was a little cold before. The secret realm was really magical. Any unreasonable things that appeared seemed normal to people.
"If this town is fictional, it's too real." She followed Xu Yeyu and walked forward. "How do we find the ghost?"
Xu Yeyu turned his head and looked at her and asked, "Where do you think is the easiest place to get information in a small town?"
The girl in white thought about it.
"Inns, teahouses and brothels."
"There are relatively more people in the inn, and we can get some information from the conversations of the diners. The storyteller in the teahouse knows more things or stories. And the boss who can open a brothel in the town has a great background, so he must know a lot of things."
......
......
Blue Bird Tower is the most imposing place in Fengxia Town, and only wealthy people can come here to spend money.
A female singer who is proficient in playing the musical instrument, that is, she sells her art but not her body, and as long as she has enough money, she does not need to be a singer. She can work in either a high-end inn or a brothel.
The proprietress of Blue Bird Tower led a few girls and stood beside Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo's table. This was the second time that cultivators came to Blue Bird Tower. It was not that the proprietress had never seen immortals before, but it was the first time she saw a male and female cultivator coming to her place to consume.
You have to bring a girl with you when you visit a brothel, right?
She asked the two people carefully: "Dear guests, what do you want?"
Xu Yeyu took the menu handed over by the proprietress and took a look at the prices on the menu. He frowned. The things here were too expensive. A pot of chicken soup cost twenty taels of silver!
The proprietress was experienced, so she naturally saw Xu Yeyu's expression and looked very nervous.
"The dishes on the menu are provided to you two free of charge. The kitchen here will prepare them for you two as soon as possible and guarantee that you two will be satisfied."
There is such a good thing, it is really worthy of the treatment of a monk.
Xu Yeyu took out twenty taels of silver from the storage ring, placed it on the table, and then pushed it in front of the proprietress.
"We want a serving of chicken soup. This is twenty taels of silver."
The proprietress took the twenty taels of silver, smiled twice, bowed, and prepared to leave with the girls. She could see that the monk in front of her was not interested in these girls.
Xu Yeyu stopped the proprietress and said, "Just let these girls leave. I want to ask you something. Is that convenient?"
Even if it was inconvenient for the monk to ask her questions, she had to say it was convenient now. The proprietress asked the female singer to leave first and stood beside them and asked, "What do you two guests want to know?"
"Please take a seat."
It was the first time that the proprietress had seen such polite monks. She sat down and straightened her body, thinking that no matter what these two immortals asked, she would not hide it.
"You ask, as long as I know it, I will never hide it."
These two immortals must know my attitude!
Xu Yeyu poured a cup of hot tea and savored the fragrance of the tea soup carefully. The elegant tea aroma spread in the hazy air.
"Has anyone died in this town recently?"
The actress who was about to leave quickened her pace, and the proprietress was so scared that she wanted to stand up. She never expected that this immortal would ask such a question. This was the Blue Bird Tower she opened, a place for rich people to enjoy themselves. How could it have anything to do with the word death?
She asked carefully, "Why does this guest ask this question?"
Xu Yeyu put down the teacup, already thinking about filling a pot of tea before leaving Qingniao Tower.
"Don't be nervous. Or let me change the question. Is this town haunted recently?"
The proprietress became even more nervous, and her hands under the table began to tremble. Could it be that her Blue Bird Building was haunted?
Xia Xiaomo also got a cup of tea. She was already nervous enough, and after you asked her these two questions, she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to speak.
The proprietress took a deep breath and was about to say what she had prepared when something new appeared on the table: five low-grade spirit stones, which Xia Xiaomo had just taken out.
The proprietress was stunned for a long time. She didn't expect that these two immortals would pay money for inquiring about things, and the money they used was not silver, but spirit stones.
Spirit Stone is a precious resource that contains spiritual energy. Cultivators can use spirit stones to assist in practicing techniques, increase their cultivation, refine magic weapons, and even use them to build formations.
Spirit stones are also divided into grades, namely low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and top-grade spirit stones.
The proprietress of Qingniao Restaurant, who had been running the business in Fengxia Town for so long, naturally knew what was good. She could tell that these five were not ordinary stones. She put the five spirit stones into her pocket. They were more valuable than gold and could be her heirlooms.
She whispered, "The matter you two immortals want to inquire about should be the incident that happened a while ago, right?"
Xu Yeyu didn’t know what it was about, but nodded. Anyone who could answer this question must be related to ghosts.
The proprietress's face turned pale. She glanced around and confirmed that there was no one else. Then she said, "The Lin family was wiped out some time ago. The entire Lin family died tragically overnight, leaving only the wives of the Lin family. Their deaths were very strange. I guess this may be related to evil spirits."
Xu Yeyu frowned. This matter should be related to the ghost they were looking for. He originally thought that this ghost had only killed a few people at most, but he didn't expect it to be involved in a family massacre.
"My two immortals, I can tell you something more." The proprietress took a deep breath, "It seems that the government officials are trying to suppress this matter."
The proprietress's meaning was very clear. This matter might be related to the government. Xu Yeyu had originally planned to ask the local government for some information, but now he didn't have to go there.
The proprietress asked cautiously, "Are you two immortals here to catch this ghost?"
Xia Xiaomo nodded and replied: "Indeed, I came here for this ghost."
The proprietress touched the spirit stone in her pocket. Only by touching the spirit stone could she feel safe enough. She expressed her previous guess.
"The ghost that killed the Lin family might have been invited by someone."
Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo didn't say anything because what the proprietress said was a little shocking. Ghosts always come uninvited. It was the first time they heard of someone inviting ghosts.
"This is the chicken soup you two ordered." The waiter put the chicken soup on their table, set the table for them, and quickly left.
This is not the place for him to stay. The sooner he leaves, the better.
The three of them didn't continue talking, and the dinner table suddenly became quiet.
The sounds of flute and pipa are intertwined. The dancer, wearing a beautiful silk skirt, dances to the rhythm of the music. Her figure is graceful and her dance is full of elegance.
Xu Yeyu served Xia Xiaomo a bowl of chicken soup and also served himself a bowl. The proprietress felt a little strange when she saw the two of them were about to drink the chicken soup.
Weren't we just talking about ghosts?
"If you want to drink, you can ask the waiter to bring an extra set of bowls and chopsticks."
The proprietress' eyelids were about to twitch. After receiving twenty taels of silver from you, I also want a bowl of chicken soup. If you don't pay, I can have another bowl. But after paying, the situation is different. She will not be able to open the Qingniao Tower if she does business like this.
"Just eat, I'm not very hungry."
Xu Yeyu blew gently on the chicken soup, and the first mouthful of chicken soup slid into his mouth. The tenderness of the chicken and the richness of the soup spread on the tip of his tongue.
It smells so good, worthy of being twenty taels of chicken soup.
The child that Xia Xiaomo bumped into before, the bowl of chicken soup now, and the touch of the place where they sat down now, if this was fiction, it would be too real.
Xu Yeyu put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Who invited that ghost?"
Because of what the proprietress said, she must have thought about who invited this ghost, or which force invited it.
"can not say."
Xu Yeyu did not continue asking. He also had some ideas and knew that he would die if he gave this answer.
The proprietress knew clearly that if she answered this question, she would attract something terrible, and the ghost would come after her, or the person who invited the ghost.
"I have one last question."
"The local government is deliberately hiding this ghost to prevent the people from panicking, or are they protecting the people who invited the ghost?"
"I think it's the latter."
Xu Yeyu nodded and said, "Thank you for the information you provided. I have no other questions."
The proprietress left her seat, bent down slightly, and then left quickly, fearing that the two immortals would continue to ask questions.
Xu Yeyu picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued to drink the chicken soup. Xia Xiaomo watched him drink the chicken soup and looked at the chicken soup in her own bowl. She was not in the mood to drink the chicken soup, but he was drinking chicken soup while asking about ghosts.
How could a normal person do what he did? He didn't seem to feel any tension at all.
"Miss Xia, what do you think about this?"
The girl in white thought for a moment and then expressed her thoughts: "Those who can hire ghosts to kill people must have a very powerful background. They are either the richest family here, or the ghosts are hired by the government. The government can also be the one who hired the ghosts."
