I am not a villain reborn

When the first rain in spring came, the five of them had already boarded the carriage and set off for Jiuhua City. In the carriage, Gu Liuyue and Ling Yun were still chattering about something. Chen Xi sat cross-legged beside Ling Yunxiao, Thinking about everything that had happened between them over the years.

Ling Yun asked suspiciously: "Why don't we go directly to Mirror Moon City with Yujian!"

Chen Xi opened the curtain of the carriage, pointed to the sky outside which was illuminated by a muffled thunder, and said, "Didn't you see it raining outside! You are not afraid of being struck by lightning when Yu Jian is in the air!"

Ling Yun said unconvinced: "Then it didn't rain when we were in Desolate City, why didn't we go directly to Xuezhong Village with the sword?"

Gu Liuyue said with a smile on her face: "You can't rely too much on spells. They say that you don't know the suffering of the world, and it's hard to be the way of the world."

"Speaking of it, I just don't want to fly. I think the biggest experience is Brother Feng! He was always on the road all the way, and he was beaten by snow and rain."

Chen Xi looked at Ling Yun with a smile on his face: "I see that you are so angry, why don't you go and replace him!"

Chen Xi knocked on the carriage, Feng Mubai stopped the carriage, turned around and opened the curtain to wipe the rain off his face, and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

"In shift change, Ling Yun offered to drive the carriage. He said that if you don't let him drive, he would jump off the carriage. Chen Xi pointed at the dejected Ling Yun and said.

Feng Mubai looked at Ling Yun suspiciously and asked, "Really?"

Ling Yunqiang smiled and said: "Yes! Brother Feng, let me come!"

Feng Mubai said to Ling Yun: "Okay! The town is not far ahead, let's rest there for a night before leaving!"

Ling Yun bent down, stepped through the gap between the three of them, and said to Feng Mubai who was getting into the carriage: "Okay, thank you Brother Feng for helping me."

The carriage started slowly again, and Gu Liuyue looked out of the carriage with a worried face: "Is this really good?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry!"

Just as Gu Liuyue was speaking, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Ling Yun outside lifted the curtain and said: "The road ahead is blocked by mudslides from the mountain, blocking the carriage and making it impossible to pass.

Chen Xi asked, "How far is it from the town?"

Ling Yun looked at a city shrouded in darkness in front of him and said: "It's not far away, just walk forward after passing this mudslide."

Chen Xi looked at them and said, "In that case, let's walk there!"

Ling Yunxiao only said: "Okay!"

Ling Yunxiao handed the three umbrellas in the car, one to Feng Mubai and the other to Gu Liuyue, and said: "Feng Mubai, you and Ling Yun share one, and Chen Xi and I.

"Okay! Feng Mubai opened the umbrella and walked out.

In front of everyone are two towering mountain peaks with a wide road in the middle, but due to the heavy rain, the mud and rocks on the mountain were washed onto the road in the middle, but fortunately, the accumulation of mud and rocks was not very large. Gao, it can allow people to pass, Feng Mubai looked at the road in front of him and said distressedly: "This road has become like this, it seems that this carriage can only stay here."

Chen Xi said: "This is also a matter of no choice, we can only go there first and then talk about it."

Feng Mubai nodded and led the way ahead, pulling Ling Yun and Gu Liuyue through the pile of rocks together, but when Gu Liuyue crossed, she accidentally stepped on the ground, and her feet got stuck between the rocks, Feng Mubai was careful Pulling her foot out from the rocks, Gu Liuyue's ankle was already swollen. Feng Mubai looked at Ling Yun and handed him the umbrella, saying: "You hold the umbrella alone, and I will carry it on your back." Miss Xiaoyue."

Ling Yun nodded and said: "I understand, be careful."

Feng Mubai knelt down and said to Gu Liuyue, "Miss Xiaoyue, come up."

Gu Liuyue climbed onto Feng Mubai's back without pretense and said, "Thank you."

Seeing the situation ahead, Ling Yunxiao gave Chen Xi to the other side when passing by. Seeing him like this, Chen Xi couldn't help but smiled and said, "Elder brother, don't be so nervous, I won't let you recite it."

Ling Yunxiao said: "It's just a habit."

After speaking, he was silent for a few seconds, as if he didn't understand why he said those words, nor why he had this habit.

After the mudslide, there is a peach forest surrounding the city. In the wind and rain, those peach blossoms are in full bloom, and there is a road in the middle of the peach forest, which leads directly to the towering city. city.

The five of us finally arrived here after almost a cup of tea. In front of the city, there were three large characters written in flying dragons and phoenixes on the city, Mirror Moon City, and rows of willow trees were planted beside the moat. When the bridges inside and outside the city appeared in front of you, there was an avenue. At the end of the avenue, there was a majestic mansion, but the original appearance could not be seen clearly in this dark night, but on both sides were well-ordered houses, and on both sides of the street were planted The pink peach blossoms are in full bloom because it is the beginning of spring.

The rain fell from the eaves and slapped the ground, and the air was filled with damp and cold air. Since it was late at night and it was raining, the doors of every house had been closed early.

In the darkness of night, a handsome young man in coir raincoat, with a lantern in one hand and an umbrella in the other, walked slowly past the five of them in the heavy rain. Chen Xi couldn't help but grabbed the young man and asked, "Are we here?" Come from other places, dare to ask Xiongtai, where is the inn here?

The young man was stunned for a while, then chuckled and stretched out his hand towards Chen Xi.

This time it was Chen Xi who was stunned, and Ling Yun beside him reminded: "Money."

Only then did Chen Xi realize that she took out ten taels of silver from her pocket and handed it to him, "Speak!"

The young man put away the silver and said with a smile: "Just go straight and turn right."

"Thank you, Chen Xi nodded.

After finishing speaking, the five of them walked forward. At the corner, the inn that the boy mentioned appeared in front of them. There was a pink peach blossom planted in front of the inn, and there was a red plaque hanging on it, which said Jin Yu Inn.

Ling Yun said with a blank face: "...it can't be such a coincidence!"

Chen Xi also asked with a puzzled look: "Why is there a home here, Jinyu Inn?

Ling Yunxiao frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Ling Yun said inexplicably: "We also had an inn like this in Feiyu City before."

Chen Xi said: "Go up and knock on the door first."

Feng Mubai nodded and went to knock on the door. After a while, a handsome young man in coarse linen clothes with a red mole on his forehead lit the oil lamp, opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Feng Mubai said with a smile on his face: "We passed by here to stay overnight, is there any room available?"

The clerk rubbed his eyes when he heard the words, looked at the five people squarely, and then said: "There are more."

Xiao Er stepped aside and said, "Okay, five guests, come in first, it's raining outside! And this girl seems to be injured."

Ling Yun followed behind Xiao Er and asked, "Is your inn a chain?"

Xiaoer smiled and said, "How do you know?"

Ling Yun said: "We also saw this inn when we were in Feiyu City. Your boss is Boss Jin!"

Xiao Er nodded and turned around to look at the people behind him, and said in a slightly respectful voice: "It turns out that he is an acquaintance of our Boss Jin. If the guests need anything, please tell me."

Ling Yun said embarrassedly: "You don't need to be so polite."

Feng Mubai looked at Xiao Er who was walking in front of him and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

Xiao Er lit up the lights around him and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, everyone, please wait a moment."

After Chen Xi sat down at the table, she looked at Xiao Er's back and asked curiously, "Has anything strange happened to you recently?"

Xiao Er paused, stood where he was, turned around and asked curiously, "Do you like listening to ghost stories?"

Chen Xi smiled lightly and said, "That's right, we traveled all over the world just to broaden our knowledge."

Xiao Er said with a look of horror: "Speaking of strange things, it should be the case. Recently, people in Jiuhua City have been dying of illness. At first, it was the family of the city lord, and later it was those rich and squires. Is this strange? ?So you'd better leave here early tomorrow, this city is very strange."

Chen Xi said with a distressed face: "Really? But the more dangerous the place, the more interested I am!"

Xiaoer looked resentful and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you know our Boss Jin, I wouldn't bother to persuade you. Since you don't listen, then just pretend I didn't say it."

"Okay, I'll go and prepare food for you first, Xiaoer turns around and walks to the inner hall angrily.

After Xiao Er left, Ling Yunxiao looked at him and asked, "You noticed it too."

"Ah."

Seeing that the two were dumbfounded, Ling Yun asked curiously: "What! What did you notice?"

Chen Xi picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water before saying, "Just now, I felt a faint sense of uneasiness in my heart, and in the humid air, there was always a smell of blood that couldn't go away. There is no demonic energy in this city, but I hope I am thinking too much."

Gu Liuyue nodded: "When I entered the city just now, I also felt that there was something weird in this city, but I couldn't tell where it was!"

Ling Yun was inexplicable for a while: "Why do you all feel it, but I don't smell anything?"

"You are not a practitioner, so you are naturally not sensitive to this kind of breath."

Ling Yunxiao said: "Let's wait until tomorrow to investigate."
