After being reborn, he became cinnabar in the heart of Quanxianmen

The morning light gradually rises from the sky, and the carved beams and painted buildings of Helong Inn have gone through decades of ups and downs.It's just that those colorful paintings and carvings are all burned in the fire that drove back the monsters.

The wood vines entangled with the beasts turned into black coke in the fire, and fell in the backyard.The shop waiter leaned on the window sill, the more he looked at it, the more distressed he was, and he was about to cry with his mouth flattened.

He couldn't blame Lu Ran, if he didn't do that just now, they would have been buried in the belly of the monster by now.

He understands the truth.But the shop waiter looked at the damaged inn and felt extremely wronged.

blah blah blah.

At this moment, there were three knocks on the door.

Song Jun's indisputable clear voice sounded outside the house:

"I'm back. What happened to the inn? Open the door and let me in."

The waiter in the shop was overjoyed when he heard that the reinforcements had returned, and was about to go to open the door.A Ying, who was resting on the ground, exhausted all her strength and raised her foot to stir him up.

The shop clerk almost fell down, feeling aggrieved and inexplicable, but saw Lu Ran, who was staying with Yuan Ji, suddenly raised his head and his face changed.

He looked at the door heavily, and said in a low voice:

"No footsteps."

The waiter's expression twisted instantly.I feel that I can fly up in place at any time.

Lu Ran looked at A Ying, who tried her best to move her still numb limbs and shook her head.She can't move yet.Even if you use the technique of hiding shadows, you can only hide in place.

There was another hasty knock on the door:

"Mr. Lu, what's the matter with you? Open the door, open the door, don't hide inside and make no noise, I know where you are."

Lu Ran bit the bullet and replied:

"Yuan and I are taking a shower, so it's inconvenient to open the door."

"Song Jun": "..."

He said softly: "Everyone is a boy, it doesn't matter. Be good, Xiao Lu, and open the door."

A Ying's eyes twitched.

Lu Ran glanced at the formation in the room.The formation of the iris arrow can last for a while.What are Chao Sheng and Song Jun doing lingering at the city lord's wife's house.Why haven't you come back yet.Can you still rely on the score?

Lu Ran tried to delay the time with an awkward chat, but he didn't know what he was talking about:

"No, no, no, we are doing some very private things. We are alone and widowed in the same room. You know, we can't let outsiders see it."

A strange light flashed in Aying's blue eyes.

The monster pretending to be Song Jun outside the house paused for a moment: "What can you two men do privately? Open the door quickly, you have the ability to mess with men, why don't you have the ability to open the door?"

Lu Ran was about to chat to death, when he turned his head and saw Yuan Ji's soft and handsome eyebrows slightly curved, as if he was trying to hold back a smile.A Ying's expressionless and indifferent face was also slightly distorted, as if he was also struggling to hold back a smile.

Lu Ran was suddenly blessed to his heart.

"Young Master Song, what is your opinion on the issue of women's rights in today's era?"

Warcraft: "What did you say..."

"Some people think that most women only talk about love all day long. What's your opinion on this?"

Warcraft: "You open the door first..."

"Do you agree that women can also possess leadership qualities and create great achievements?"

Warcraft: "Ah, this..."

"How do you think women can get rid of the prejudice and constraints of the world and realize their true value?"

Warcraft: "..."

The people outside the house stopped talking, and the sticky sound of scales sliding across the ground came from the corridor.

Behind Lu Ran, the shop boy Ermao asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you leaving?"

Lu Ran shook his head, he didn't believe that Warcraft would give up just because of his nonsensical words.Taking out the talisman paper from his sleeve, Lu Ran walked to the window to strengthen the barrier.

Perceiving something wrong from the squirming shadow, A Ying thought, and shouted: "Be careful with the closet..."

There was a toothache grinding sound from under the floor, as if a giant snake was walking under the floor.The floor shook, and the pens, ink, papers and inkstones displayed on the table fell all over the floor.

The waiter barely grabbed a celadon vase and held it in his arms, at a loss.Lu Ran retreated quickly, helped A Ying who couldn't move, and retreated outside the door.

The wooden plank at the bottom hole of the wardrobe is movable, and the enchantment is particularly weak here.The floor on the second floor shook violently, and a crack appeared on the expensive walnut wardrobe.With the sound of bang bang, the cracks on the wardrobe became bigger and bigger.

Bang!

Standing still in the room for decades, the sandalwood wardrobe, which has not changed through vicissitudes for decades, suddenly shattered.

The monster entered the secret door under the bed from the T-shaped room next door, entered the tearing barrier along the dark layer, and rushed into the C-numbered room!

It seemed that something sharp had pierced the scales of the monster in the tunnel, and the huge body of the monster writhed in pain.The black air of resentment was entangled in the blind eyes.But driven by anger, it resisted the attack from the dark layer and followed the scent of Lu Ran and others.

Lu Ran had just pushed A Ying and Yuan Ji out of the door, but when he turned around, he saw the waiter who was always skating faster than anyone else, standing stupidly in front of the monster, holding a tin stick in his hand, motionless, as if he was petrified.

There was another earthquake, Lu Ran staggered to stabilize his figure, and shouted at the waiter: "Come out!"

The waiter was unmoved.

Isn't he afraid?

How could he not be afraid.

This is his fifth year at Helong Inn.He eats here, lives here, and wears clothes from here.His monthly salary is not much, but it is barely enough to live on.Let him go to a tavern in the city for a drink at the end of the month, and watch the oiran dance under the stage of the brothel.

Although at the beginning, I just heard the legend about Ah Nan's treasure by accident, so I wanted to try my luck.But after five years, this place has almost become his second home.

He knew he was cowardly, cowardly, and useless.But when strange things happened frequently in the inn, and it was impossible to invite a truly capable Taoist priest to do it, he tried his best to make a decision a few months ago with the little courage left in his heart.

Every deep night, he wandered in the dark narrow alleys of the city, his legs trembling unceasingly.Occasionally, he would meet a strange man with unknown good and evil, who seemed to be able to strangle him with two fingers.

He bit the bullet and risked reprisals to strike up a conversation, coaxing them to stay in the inn, hoping that some of them would take action to solve the evil spirit that caused the chaos.

Isn't he afraid?

He was terrified.

He couldn't sleep all night, thinking that maybe he was going to be killed tonight.He only prayed that he wouldn't encounter the evil cultivators in those scary ghost stories.If he wants to die, give him a quicker way to die.

As the sun rose, he just wanted to cry loudly for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, thinking that it would be like this, the inn was not opened by himself, and the big owner of the inn never came once such a big event happened.The boss doesn't care, I'm just a handyman, what do I do with my leisure time.He just packed his bags and left, hid far away, and never came back.

However, in the evening, he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and continued to wait in the dark alley.

It seems that this quaint wooden building has some bewitching magic power, which makes it difficult for him to walk, makes him fascinated, makes him fascinated, and makes his every breath follow the rhythm of the nan tree.

But now, the inn is coming to an end.In the impact of the monsters, the decades-old building let out a whine, and the wooden structure that was snapped together began to loosen.

The monster's venomous fangs were in sight.He stood where he was, motionless.

Isn't he afraid?

He even dared to poison the mayor's wife, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

All right, the waiter thought.

Anyway, I have a cheap life, anyone can kill.

But if you dare touch the inn again—

The waiter raised his hands high, the double-strand twelve-wheeled tin rod in his hand was shining with golden streamer, and the twelve pure gold rings buzzed.

Lu Ran finally rushed to Xiao Er's side, and held the tin staff with him.Lu Ran's eyes were clear, and all the joints of the hundred acupuncture points on his body burst out with scalding heat, and there seemed to be a solemn Sanskrit sound in his ears.

As if he had learned without a teacher, he poured all the mana in his body into this holy treasure of Buddhism.

The waiter let out a big shout, and slammed the monster on the head!

Behind the two of them emerged a tall and solemn Buddhist figure.For a moment, the golden light in the room flashed like a Buddhist hall, and the eight-character mantra of Buddhism poured over the head of the monster, and the bell rang loudly and loudly.

The monster let out an earth-shattering roar, and the huge body that was entrenched suddenly became fatigued and retracted into the dark layer.There was a rustling sound from under the floor, and the silence was quickly restored.

The golden light on the tin staff dimmed, and shiny gold flakes scattered in the air.The purple enchantment was completely shattered, and the iris arrow fell to the ground with a jingle.The translucent sky softly sprinkled on the ruins of the inn.

Its daybreak.

The waiter was still holding the tin rod, but this time he was completely petrified.

In the backyard, there was only a large puddle of coagulated blood under the roots of the nan tree.The captives were ordered to stay at the inn, but they never expected that they could watch the monks fight with the monsters in the front row.When the monster turned to attack Room C, they sneaked into the backyard, took Zhang Liezi and Chen Dalang away and rescued them.

Outside the window, the sun was rising, and the dawn was getting brighter. A spaceship sailed quickly from the sky, and two people on board were shaking and waving to Lu Ran.Chao Sheng and Song Jun finally arrived.

I know I'm back when I'm done.Why did you go early.

Lu Ran complained angrily in his heart.The sequelae of depleting spiritual energy occurred.His body softened and he fell into Yuan Ji's arms.

--------------

The guest room on the second floor was completely destroyed. Everyone came downstairs, put the tables together, and took a rest.

Zhang Liezi was hacked more than twenty times, and he was already dead.Chen Dalang saved his life under the timely rescue by the arresting officers. After taking the qi-nourishing and blood-nourishing elixir brought by Song Jun, he is no longer seriously ill, but he is still lying on the table and has not woken up.

A Ying sat on the side to adjust her inner breath.The waiter in the shop seemed to be sleepwalking, holding the broom and waving it twice from time to time.Lu Ran lay weakly in Yuan Ji's arms, with Chao Sheng's face full of guilt in front of him.

Ha ha.

Why did you go early.

Is the soft rice in the city lord's mansion delicious?

Lu Ran was full of resentment, she turned her head and didn't want to look at him at all.

Yuan Ji asked softly, "Is it comfortable? Do you want to change your posture?"

Lu Ran shook his head.Ever since he was coaxed by the man to admit that his wound was hurting, he found himself becoming more and more delicate.At this moment, being trapped in Yuan Ji's arms, it was as if he was curled up under the warm wings of a giant bird, his whole body was lazy, and he didn't want to move at all.

Chao Sheng was about to cry: "Song Jun doesn't talk to me anymore, don't ignore me."

Next to him, Song Jun slammed the iris arrow on the table with a snap, deliberately making a loud noise.

Chao Sheng glanced at him cautiously, and talked about what they had seen and heard in the City Lord's Mansion.

The two of them originally thought that the female ghost Anan forcibly attacked the wife of the city lord who was blessed by Dharma, and was severely injured.Even if they start to make trouble again at night, Lu Ran can completely parry it with the magic weapon they left behind.

As soon as they arrived at the castellan's house, the lady arranged for good food and rooms.The two discussed it, and Chao Sheng began to talk about Buddhist scriptures with his wife, and Song Jun took the opportunity to search around the mansion.But except for a title deed to the Helong Inn, they got nothing.

Um?The wife of the mayor is actually the big boss behind the Helong Inn?

Lu Ran sat up a little bit and became a little interested.

Chao Sheng was encouraged and continued:

"Later, Song Daoyou went to talk to Xu Jia again. He was a magic stick who cheated money with nonsense, and he had no spiritual power at all. A few years ago, he was suddenly invited into the mansion by the wife of the city lord and regarded as a distinguished guest. Whenever something happened at the Helong Inn, Just follow Madam to come, pretending to do tricks."

Song Jun frowned in disgust.

Chao Sheng continued: "Later we learned from an old servant in the mansion that the Helong Inn was a brothel during the war between Zhou and Yan more than [-] years ago. I guess that the strange behaviors of the mayor's wife are probably related to the brothel. related."

Song Jun snorted coldly.

Chao Sheng's voice became lower and lower: "Young Master Song disagrees, saying that because his wife is a woman, he thinks it has something to do with a brothel. If the person who behaved strangely today is the city lord, wouldn't people also think of it as the Nanfeng Pavilion at that time?"

Lu Ran: "..."

It makes sense!

"Then at night, the city lord's wife probably had a fever and talked in her sleep because of the incident during the day. In her sleep, she uttered the last sentence: [Desolate Master Guhong].

The abandoned widow feels desolate, so she has no choice but to use the widowed swan geese as a teacher to learn how to relieve her loneliness.This is the same tune as Ah Nan sang before. "

Song Jun's face was tense and he didn't say a word.

"The old servant lived in Yancheng all his life. We asked him if he had ever heard the song [Qingqing Nanpo Willow]. He said he would never forget that night.

Abandoned in the city by the heartbroken, Ah Nan's resentful singing, riding on the pale light of the crescent moon, floats across the Yancheng under the shadow of war.But she only sang the first two lines in front of people.I am afraid that only those who were in the brothel at the time knew about the latter. "

Song Jun turned her head angrily and scolded a dog man.Chao Sheng flinched and spoke almost out of breath:

"We deduced that the wife of the city lord might have been the wife of Fengyuelou like Ah Nan. Later, she escaped from the brothel, pretended to be the daughter of a famous family, and married the current city lord.

The lord of the city was transferred to Yancheng, and Madam was afraid that she had been exposed for being a prostitute and not a beloved person, which would threaten her reputation, so she bought the Helong Inn and forcibly suppressed all cases..."

Everyone in the inn knew about it.In this way, it seems that it can all be explained.

Chao Sheng and Song Jun saw the flames of the Helong Inn in the distance, and immediately realized that something happened to Lu Ran.

Originally, I wanted to come here immediately by flying boat.As a result, as soon as the two of them left the room, they were surrounded by the city lord's wife and a full house of guards, obstructing them in every possible way.

They didn't dare to hit the guards hard, and they were very depressed.Finally, Song Jun brandished a long whip and burned down several houses.The people in the city lord's mansion were busy fighting the fire, and they broke out—unexpectedly, the inn was already finished.

Song Jun had held back her anger in the City Lord's Mansion, and now the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, and turned to Lu Ran:

"Mr. Lu, what is your opinion on women's rights in today's era?"

Lu Ran: "..."

How did he hear those words so familiarly...

"Some people think that most women only talk about love all day long. What's your opinion on this?"

Lu Ran: "Let's change the subject, monsters..."

"Do you agree that women can also possess leadership qualities and create great achievements?"

Lu Ran: "There is also a dark floor..."

"How do you think women can get rid of the prejudice and constraints of the world and realize their true value?"

Lu Ran looked at the poor Chao Sheng beside him, and dared not speak.

The author has something to say:

Me (crying): I’m so good. I only have two favorites and one has been canceled. Is it true that no one reads my writing?

My friend (smiling kindly): How come no one reads what you wrote?Right now, two blind reviewers are reading your academic paper (garbage) word by word.

Me (tactically leaning back): ...that's not necessary.
