I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

Looking at the people who were talking, Ye Jianxing frowned slightly with a serious expression, then turned to look in the direction from which they came.

The fog, which was so thick that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, had become much thinner at this moment, and it seemed that one could pass through it without any hindrance.

He wanted to return temporarily to report the situation here to the captain.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t choose to gather here.

However, if he just reported the current situation, it seemed too pale. With such news, it would be difficult for him to be promoted to the position of general flag.

After some contemplation, Ye Jianxing suddenly made up his mind and gave the order:

"Let's find a place to rest for now. Tomorrow we will know whether we have returned to the past."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then surrounded Ye Jianxing and headed towards a small town in the distance.

Inside an inn.

"Boss, come out quickly. The Jinyiwei has reserved your inn for today."

"Hey hey hey, the little one is coming, the little one is coming"

Seeing a group of Jinyiwei rushing into the inn, the innkeeper couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

These damn bastards.

However, he could only walk towards her quickly with a smile on his face.

Looking at the shopkeeper who was forcing a smile on his face, Ye Jianxing glanced at him lightly and then reached into his arms.

But when he touched one of the warm balls, he couldn't help but pause slightly and frowned.

What is this? Does he have such a thing? Then when did he put it in his arms?

But now is not the time to take it out for inspection.

With a slight movement of his hand, Ye Jianxing took out a silver ingot from his arms and gently threw it to the shopkeeper.

"This is."

The innkeeper hurriedly took the silver and weighed it instinctively.

Wow, this weighs at least fifteen or sixteen taels.

Immediately, the innkeeper looked at Ye Jianxing at a loss.

"Here's the money for the hotel. Bring us some good food and wine."

"Ah, this, this, how can this be done? How can this be done?

It is our honor that you can stay at our inn, so how dare we charge you for it?"

Having said that, the innkeeper quickly stepped forward, ready to return the silver to Ye Jianxing.

"No need, just take it if I give it to you!"

Ye Jianxing glanced at the shopkeeper and said in a cold tone.

"Uh this."

The innkeeper was still a little hesitant.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Our flag tells you to take it, so just take it."

While the innkeeper was hesitating, a person following Ye Jianxing pushed him impatiently.

The shopkeeper staggered and could only smile and nod in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes, then I will thank you for the reward.

Waiter, quickly notify the kitchen staff to bring up the good wine and food."

Looking at the innkeeper returning behind the counter, Ye Jianxing's eyes flashed slightly.

Ye Jianxing was extremely wary of the people and things here.

Otherwise, as a minor flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, when would he have to pay for meals and accommodation in an ordinary inn?

Soon, food and wine were brought up in an endless stream.

Looking at the extremely tempting food in front of him, as well as the clear and mellow wine, Ye Jianxing raised his eyebrows, but was reluctant to pick up his chopsticks.

Seeing this scene, the other Jinyiwei, even though they had been drooling over it, could only sit quietly and stare at Ye Jianxing, waiting for his orders.

Glancing at the people who were drooling at the sight one by one, Ye Jianxing frowned and thought, but he couldn't notice anything wrong, so he could only speak in the end.

"Move your chopsticks!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, everyone started eating and drinking, and cheering loudly.

"Good wine!"

“Great food!”

They felt that the food and wine in their mouths were simply delicacies from heaven.

After swallowing it, there seemed to be a special force flowing throughout the body, and the internal energy seemed to increase a bit, and it flowed more smoothly.

This, this, this.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Then, everyone lowered their heads with ecstasy on their faces and started eating.

Not to mention the delicious food and wine, they cannot let go of this opportunity to improve their cultivation.

I didn’t expect that this small inn would have such good things.

Looking at everyone's performance, Ye Jianxing frowned, reached out to pick up the wine glass in front of him, put it to his nose and took a light sniff.

A clear and mellow smell of wine instantly filled the nose, heart and lungs. A hint of warm breath flowed throughout the body, and the circulation of internal energy immediately increased.

Ye Jianxing's face changed involuntarily. This was truly an unparalleled fairy wine.

but

Ye Jianxing looked around. The inn was indeed quite large. It could be said to be the largest inn in the town, enough to accommodate more than a hundred people.

However, such drinks and meals should never be prepared.

If they really had such ability, they would surely be guests of honor of all major forces, and might even be invited to the imperial kitchen of the palace.

It is even possible that they will form their own force and become the object of competition among major forces.

Even the royal family must be treated with courtesy.

Then, the situation is very obvious. There must be something wrong with this inn, its owner, and its kitchen staff.

Thinking of this, Ye Jianxing was about to speak up to stop everyone.

"you."

However, as soon as Ye Jianxing opened his mouth, he felt a chill instantly covering his heart.

All those who were originally concentrating on eating suddenly raised their heads and stared at him without blinking, with empty and indifferent eyes.

Even the whole world seemed to have fallen silent.

"Gudong!"

Even though he had already reached the innate realm, Ye Jianxing still couldn't help swallowing his saliva under the gaze of everyone.

Ye Jianxing took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, and spoke with a forced smile.

".You guys should eat more, because we have a mission tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions instantly became lively, and they all started laughing.

"Hahaha, Xiaoqi is right."

"Thank you, Lord Xiaoqi"

"Hehe, after we go back this time, our Ye Xiaoqi will be promoted to the chief flag."

"indeed!"

"When the time comes, Lord General, please don't forget your brothers."

"Haha. How could that be? No matter what time it is, I will never forget my brothers."

Looking at everyone who had recovered, Ye Jianxing could only respond with a chuckle as usual.

Afterwards, everyone started eating and drinking again. Only Ye Jianxing held the wine glass and looked at everyone with deep eyes, countless thoughts flooded into his mind.

Is it the problem with the food and wine?

Or earlier?

Was it when we were gathering information earlier?

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, someone finally noticed that something was wrong with Ye Jianxing and couldn't help but speak.

"Master Xiaoqi, are the wine and food not to your liking?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at him again. Although their expressions were not as empty and indifferent as before, Ye Jianxing still felt under great pressure.

"Oh, I was thinking about the weirdness of this place, and I don't have any appetite for the moment."

Facing the stares of the crowd, Ye Jianxing made up an excuse to deal with it.

Fortunately, the man just asked casually, and after Ye Jianxing answered, he ignored him and started eating and drinking with everyone else again.

By the time the meal was over, the lights were already on and Ye Jianxing felt extremely hungry.

With his cultivation level at the innate realm, there would be no problem at all for him not to eat for three to five days.

However, he didn't know whether it was because the food and wine in front of him were too tempting, or because this place was special, but after most of the day, he felt very hungry.

But even so, Ye Jianxing had no intention of picking up his chopsticks. Instead, he secretly circulated the internal energy in his body and suppressed the hunger in his stomach.

Anyway, they can return by noon tomorrow after gathering enough information.

Afterwards, Ye Jianxing and others, led by the innkeeper himself, went to the guest rooms to rest.

As the team leader, Ye Jianxing and Xiaoqi naturally had their own room, which was the top-notch room on the third floor.

As for the others, except for some sergeants and squad leaders, who lived in the upper rooms with two or three people, the others lived in ordinary rooms, with three to five people in one room.

Ye Jianxing endured the hunger, lay on the bed with his hands under his head, and could not fall asleep for a long time.

All the things he saw and heard that day, as well as the strange behavior of his men, kept turning over in his mind.

However, no matter how hard he thought, he could not find any clue.

“~,~!”

It was not until the sound of one long, two short and three louder bells came that Ye Jianxing fell asleep in a daze.

However, just as he fell asleep, there was a sudden noise coming from downstairs.

"Hoo~!"

Ye Jianxing woke up instantly, opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately turned over and sat up.

He moved his ears slightly, and prepared to listen carefully to the movement downstairs.

However, before he could hear clearly, he heard footsteps outside the door, followed by knocks on the door.

"Sir, it's bad, a brother is missing."

"Hmm~?"

Ye Jianxing frowned slightly, and in a flash he arrived in front of the door and quickly opened it.

"what happened?"

"do not know!"

"do not know?"

The man smiled wryly with an unpleasant expression, nodded, and quickly explained what had happened.

"Well, a guy downstairs had to pee urgently at night, so he went out to find a toilet and never came back.

The brothers in the room noticed something was wrong and when they went out to check, they discovered that they were missing.

And it's not just them, the innkeeper, the kitchen staff, the waiters, etc., are all missing."

Hearing this, Ye Jianxing couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

However, he appeared calm on the surface, but followed the lead of the person and hurried downstairs.

When we arrived at the lobby of the inn, there were already more than a dozen people there.

Afterwards, more people came one after another.

When no one came, everyone counted the number of people and found that there were only thirty-two people, and eighteen were missing.

Looking at the more than 30 people present, Ye Jianxing's face was extremely gloomy.

Although I felt that their behavior was a little inappropriate before.

However, he would not allow them to die here.

"Look for them, even if you dig three feet deep into the ground, you will find them for me."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then quickly searched the inn.

However, no matter how hard they searched every corner, they could not find a single person.

Instead, after everyone reunited and took inventory, they discovered that five people were missing again.

At this moment, everyone was completely panicked.

"How is this going?"

"And the shopkeeper and the waiter seem to be gone."

"What the hell is this place?"

"A hell of a place?"

The moment the man finished speaking, the crowd that had been talking noisily immediately shut up and looked at each other with grim expressions.

It seems that Lord Qianhu once said that where the sun fragments fell, some strange places would be formed and some strange phenomena would appear.

Is this the situation you are talking about?

Are there really ghosts?

Looking at the crowd, Ye Jianxing spoke in a deep voice.

“Okay, don’t think too much.

Since the inn didn't find it, let's go outside and take a look at the situation.

Also, stay in groups of five and don’t get separated.”

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, all with heavy hearts, as they followed Ye Jianxing out of the inn.

"Bang, squeak!"

As the door opened, everyone finally saw the scene outside.

The hazy blood-red moonlight sprinkled down, casting everything in a dark red. The two white paper lanterns in front of the restaurant opposite were both covered in a layer of red.

If you don't look carefully, they really look like two red lanterns.

Well, wait.

Bloody Moonlight.

White paper lantern

In an instant, everyone stopped and some even couldn't help but take two steps back.

这 是

"how is this possible?"

"It's bright and clear, but there are still red lanterns hanging across the street, okay?"

"Fuck, I knew something was wrong here"

"Hey, who doesn't know this? Aren't we here to investigate the situation here?"

"Okay, let's stop arguing and check out the outside world first."

After stopping the quarrel, Ye Jianxing cautiously came to the door of the inn and stretched out the embroidered spring knife in his hand out of the door, exposing it to the bloody moonlight.

After a while, Ye Jianxing retracted the Embroidered Spring Knife.

I looked down carefully and there was nothing wrong.

However, this is not the time to relax.

"Hoo~!"

Taking a deep breath secretly, Ye Jianxing took another step forward. The internal Qi in his body circulated rapidly, and his palm stretched forward little by little, slowly touching the blood-red moonlight.

In an instant, a cold feeling came over my heart.

The moonlight actually gave him a chilly feeling.

Ye Jianxing couldn't help but quickly retract his hand.

After carefully sensing it and confirming that there were no other situations, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Ye Jianxing stretched out his palm again, letting the blood-red moonlight turn his palm blood red, and a chill seeped into his flesh. Even the innate true qi could not stop it.

However, that was all, and it did not cause any other adverse changes.

Seeing this, Ye Jianxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he also knew that the cold breath that invaded his flesh was probably not a good thing.

But at least it didn't cause any changes immediately.

And

Ye Jianxing withdrew his palm and circulated the internal Qi. The cold air quickly dissipated. Instead, the internal Qi seemed to suddenly become a little more refined.

It goes without saying that this must be the change caused by the cold breath.

This surprised Ye Jianxing a little. He didn't expect that the blood-colored moonlight from the outside world would have such an effect. He just didn't know if there were any side effects.
