There's something wrong with the general.

The man in white stood at the door of the inn, looking particularly lonely in the sunlight. He said softly, "Brother, let me go see if there are any seats available inside.

The senior brother seemed a little guilty and followed him closely.

"Junior brother, wait for me. There's no need to rush. Besides, even if there's no seat left, we can still share a table with others like we did last time."

The man in white turned around and gave him a cold look: "Senior brother is not afraid of being laughed at, but I feel embarrassed."

The senior brother twitched his lips: "Wasn't it you who suggested this before? Why are you still angry with me?" An angry junior brother really can't be messed with.

This inn is doing very good business and is packed with people.

Everyone was talking and laughing, which was out of tune with the two of them.

The man in white shirt paused and said calmly, "Brother, let's go somewhere else. This place is full."

The two of them didn't speak loudly and didn't show off, but they still attracted the attention of everyone in the inn.

Several people were already looking towards them secretly.

Although they were dressed simply, they had good looks, behaved gracefully and had an elegant demeanor, reflecting the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Where did this young man come from?

The senior brother walked quickly up to his junior brother.

Even after just a few steps, he still said "excuse me" several times.

It can be seen that the business here is very good.

This made the man even more curious about what kind of delicious food and fine wine could attract so many people here.

Just about to ask his junior brother a question.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from not far away.

The voice was clear and warm, and somewhat familiar, but I couldn't place it.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Yun, it's been a few days since we last met. Are you all right? What a coincidence, we meet again."

Who could this be?

The man put away his nonchalant look, narrowed his eyes, and glanced inside.

Soon his eyes fell on a young man.

It turned out to be him.

The man patted the man in white shirt on the shoulder, and the man in white shirt nodded at him.

Then they went together to greet the person who greeted him.

"Brother Wen, how are you?"

The person who greeted the two of them was none other than Wen Yuxi.

He had seen the two of them lingering at the door of the inn early on.

Originally, he hid carefully after obtaining the Soul Gathering Pill, fearing that other cultivators would feel the spiritual power of the pill.

But since he had already refined the Soul Gathering Pill and practiced the immortal arts of concealing his aura, he was not so afraid anymore.

Even if he doesn't believe in himself, he will still believe in the spirit of the weapon, a big man who has lived for tens of thousands of years.

Now that there are no worries, why not make good use of this ready-made ghost-exorcising helper?

Besides, if I could see these two brothers in action, maybe I could gain some new insights.

It would be even better if you could get some more information out of me.

As for whether you can follow them to cultivate immortality, that is wishful thinking.

Of course, this is all later.

Wen Yuxi's eyes rolled and he greeted his two fellow apprentices warmly from a distance.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Yun, the downstairs is full. Why don't you come upstairs and sit for a while? Let's look out over the horizon, drink and chat. Let me also do my part as a host and welcome you two.

Um? interesting.

The corners of Xiao Jiqiu's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

In this vast world, there are only a handful of people who can put him in danger. Today he wants to see what this person's intentions are.

Thinking of this, he held the jade flute in front of his chest, smiled and said, "Then my junior brother and I will respectfully obey your command."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the man in white and winked at him.

The three of them walked upstairs.

This staircase can't accommodate three people.

Wen Yuxi walked in front to lead the way, followed closely by his two senior and junior brothers.

"Brother Wen, the restaurant here is doing so well. I'm sure the fine wine and delicious food here are not something you can find in ordinary places. Today, my junior brother and I will borrow Brother Wen's help and enjoy a feast."

Wen Yuxi turned around with a smile, looking at the two of them as if they were looking at gold and silver ingots: "Brother Xiao, what are you talking about? This restaurant is owned by me. You two brothers, please treat it like your own home. Eat and drink as much as you can. I will definitely provide you with plenty of fine wine and food.

"So this is the restaurant opened by Brother Wen. Then my junior brother and I will naturally have a few drinks here."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jiqiu's eyes, and he replied with a smile.

"my pleasure."

The three of them walked a few steps up the stairs when they were suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute, three of you."

Wen Yuxi turned around and saw the second brother looking at him anxiously.

Because there were outsiders present, he didn't dare to speak. He just looked upstairs from time to time to remind Wen Yuxi of what was happening upstairs.

Wen Yuxi smiled and shook his head at him: "Little Second Brother, quickly go and serve some good wine and food so that I can enjoy a drink with these two brothers."

The second brother was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly replied: "Ah, yes, I'll go right away."

Seeing this, Xiao Jiqiu looked at Yun Qingyan meaningfully.

They all pretended not to care and did not delve into it.

Wen Yuxi saw the interaction between the two.

I laughed secretly in my heart.

He cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry about Brother Xiao and Brother Yun laughing at you. I accompanied you to Putuo Temple a few days ago, but we had to return early because the mountain was closed. As soon as I got home today, the owner of the restaurant sent me a letter saying that the restaurant was haunted. Of course, I didn't believe it, so I came straight here. Look, I saw you two the moment I arrived. With you two brothers here, I feel even more confident."

"Oh? So Brother Wen is treating me and my junior brother as coolies, hahahahahahahaha"

Xiao Jiqiu teased with a smile, holding the jade flute in his right hand and tapping the palm of his left hand from time to time.

"I'm sorry to have made you two laugh. I was just thinking that you have been traveling the world for many years and have seen a lot. You must have seen through all kinds of treacherous and insidious methods. If there really is a villain who is committing evil deeds in the name of ghosts, I hope Brother Xiao and Brother Yun can lend a hand to find the mastermind behind this and bring him to justice."

"Brother Wen, you are too kind. My junior brother and I are just rookies and cannot be considered knowledgeable. But since Brother Wen has asked for your help, my junior brother and I will do our best."

Wen Yuxi's face lit up with joy, and his heart was filled with joy.

Anyway, they are cultivators, so they should not be afraid of ghosts.

Yes, yes.

That must be the case!

He rolled his eyes and led the two of them directly to the guest room that Butler Wang said was originally haunted.

Although the door was locked before, when they saw the two people just now, they sent a waiter to open the door.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Yun, please come in."

There was no sign that anyone had ever lived in the house.

Someone must have cleaned it regularly, as there was no dust on the table, bench, or bed.

Yun Qingyan put the luggage on the bed.

Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly saw a piece of yellow paper dropped from the crack of the bed.

He paused, then reached out and took it out.

A talisman paper drawn with paper money.

"Brother, what do you see? I see it on this bed."

Yun Qingyan moved lightly and placed the talisman paper in Xiao Jiqiu's hand.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jiqiu's eyes. How could there be talisman paper here?

After he took it, he stroked the lines on it with his fingers and looked at it from left to right for a while.

Then he raised his head and said seriously, "Brother Wen, do you know who lived here before?"

Wen Yuxi shook his head: "I haven't heard the shopkeeper mention any strange people moving in. But there is one thing I'm not sure if I should tell you or not."

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Xiao Jiqiu smiled slightly: "Brother Wen, please speak."

"I heard the shopkeeper mention that a young lady reported her room was haunted after moving in, so they moved her to a new room. But our people went in to investigate and didn't notice anything unusual. But..."

Wen Yuxi paused, then continued, "After a while, it turned out that the upstairs was indeed as the girl had said. At night, when we rested, we could hear footsteps and whispers on the roof. So the shopkeeper sealed the upstairs off."

"I see."

Wen Yuxi said anxiously, "Just now I saw Brother Xiao looking at this paper talisman, hesitant to speak. Is there something fishy going on? Are there really ghosts in this world?"

As he spoke, he tightened his clothes and looked around the house, as if looking for where the ghost was hiding.

Xiao Jiqiu smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Wen. I don't see anything wrong with this talisman paper. My junior brother and I only learned some martial arts from our master. We are not proficient in the art of medicine. As for whether this place is haunted, I can't tell at the moment."

Installed.

Pretend hard for me.

There was a gleam in Wen Yuxi's eyes, but there was a hint of disappointment in his words and his face looked anxious.

"So that's how it is. What should we do? If the restaurant is really haunted, we won't be able to continue our business. Brother Xiao, Brother Yun, do you have any ideas?"

"Brother Wen, please be patient. My junior brother and I will stay here today. If there is any movement, we will be able to detect it in time."

Wen Yuxi quickly stood up and refused, "How can that be? Although I know Brother Xiao and Brother Yun are skilled and courageous, if they get hurt by that...that ghost, even if I die a thousand times, I won't be able to atone for my sins.

Pretend, I can do that too.

whee.

Xiao Jiqiu was slightly stunned by his reaction.

I forgot for a moment that I claimed to be a wandering martial artist who knew some martial arts.

Then he turned around and raised his eyebrows at Yun Qingyan.

It's your turn.

Yun Qingyan sat upright on the bench and said calmly, "Brother Wen, don't worry. If anything really happens, we will act accordingly."

Wen Yuxi sat back on the bench and muttered, "Thank you, Brother Yun and Brother Xiao. I'm very grateful."

The three of them chatted for a while.

The waiter quickly brought over a dozen dishes and two jugs of wine.

Wen Yuxi smiled and picked up the wine jug, pouring a large bowl of wine for each of them.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Yun, this is the best wine we've sold recently, Osmanthus wine. Come and try it."

The two of them were also generous people and drank the whole bowl directly.

A...a bowl?

Wen Yuxi was almost shocked.

He looked at the bowl of wine poured for himself and took only a small sip.

Well...it seems a bit disrespectful.

Have no idea.

Wen Yuxi was in tears.

He seldom drank alcohol in his previous life. When he came here, due to Wen Qianyi's health condition, he didn't drink much. Even if he did, he would only drink fruit wine with very low alcohol content.

But today's osmanthus wine is a strong liquor.

Wen Yuxi took a deep breath, picked up the wine bowl and took a big gulp.

The moment the cold wine entered my throat, the bitter, astringent and spicy smell of the wine rushed directly to my forehead.

Wen Yuxi bent down and coughed twice.

Her cheeks flushed instantly.

Damn, is this the consequence of talking too much and not practicing drinking tolerance?

Wen Yuxi said in a hoarse voice: "Excuse me."

Woohoo.

This time I'm not pretending.

I really can’t drink much!

Xiao Jiqiu couldn't help laughing and said, "I heard Brother Wen say that you opened this restaurant before. I thought Brother Wen must be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I didn't expect... Hahahahahaha"

He couldn't hold it in any longer, and held Yun Qingyan's arm, laughing until he bent over.

Yun Qingyan slightly leaned towards him to make it easier for him to support himself with his hands.

A hint of tenderness slowly flashed in his eyes, and he stared at the newly added wine in the bowl in silence.

After three rounds of drinking.

Xiao Jiqiu and Yun Qingyan were still clear-headed, but Wen Yuxi was a little drunk.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he said to them with a smile: "How come you two good brothers have four heads?"

Xiao Jiqiu held his forehead speechlessly.

This alcohol tolerance is really poor.

Although this wine is good, it is not easy to get drunk.

"Brother Wen, you are drunk."

Wen Yuxi shook his head desperately, blinking and glaring at the boss: "Nonsense, how could I be drunk? My brother said that I can drink a lot, most people can't drink more than me."

Xiao Jiqiu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Your brother is a good lier.

"Brother Wen, why haven't you seen your brother yet? If you have the chance, please ask him to come and have a gathering."

Wen Yuxi waved his hand shakily: "You won't be able to see him anymore. My brother is not at home. He's gone on a long trip."

"That's a bit of a pity."

The two men talked to the drunkard for a while, and the drunkard fell asleep on the table.

Xiao Jiqiu shook his head and complained to his junior brother: "With this alcohol tolerance, you need to practice more."

Yun Qingyan looked at him quietly and said, "Not everyone can drink as much as you, Senior Brother, but you can drink so much that you never get drunk..."

There seemed to be something unfinished in the words.

Xiao Jiqiu pretended not to hear and changed the subject: "I see that the yin energy here is very strong. I'm afraid there really is an evil spirit at work."

Yun Qingyan was not angry, but replied calmly: "Brother, can you see what's strange about that talisman paper?"

"If this place is haunted, just put up some talismans to ward off the ghosts."

Xiao Jiqiu took out the talisman from his bosom and said, "Junior brother, look, if it's a talisman to drive away ghosts, the strokes here don't look right. Although this talisman is somewhat similar to the talisman to drive away ghosts, a slight mistake in drawing it will produce different results."

"But Brother, if that person wanted to draw a talisman to drive away ghosts, and failed to do so, shouldn't the talisman paper be discarded? How could it just happen to become another talisman?"

Xiao Jiqiu frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "Whatever the talisman is, we'll know tonight. You and I should be careful tonight."

After the two of them talked about their plans for the evening, Xiao Jiqiu stood up, walked to the stairs and called a waiter over.

He raised his chin slightly and said, "This is you..."

"Sir, this is our boss."

"He's drunk. Find him a room."

The waiter was a little embarrassed and pointed at the room and said, "But this... this place is haunted. It's too unsafe to leave our boss here alone."

"What are you afraid of with us here? We are the ghost catchers hired by your boss."

Xiao Jiqiu lowered his voice and said with a smile.

The waiter hesitated and said, "Well, then I'll go ask the shopkeeper."

After he said that, he quickly turned around and went to another room.

After just a few breaths, an urgent shout suddenly came from the side.

"Two young masters, come and take a look."
