Xianyun Continent, Yunzhou.

At dusk, Xia Leng and his carriage arrived at a small town called Huaiqiu.

It was getting late, and it was not convenient to travel, not to mention they were not in a hurry, so they chose to spend the night in the only inn in the town.

The name of the inn is very clichéd, it is called Yunlai Inn, which is exactly the artistic conception that guests are like clouds. It's a pity that this small town is located in a remote place, and it is not on the edge of the official road, so there are not many tourists coming and going.

However, today may be an exception. The business in the inn is good, and people come to stay here from time to time. There is a shopkeeper and a waiter in the store, so the two of them are very busy. "Several guest officers, I'm really sorry, the customers are full." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Xia Leng with an apologetic expression: "I don't know why, the business is so good today, and I haven't encountered such a situation in several years." This is the case, why don't you go to the stables to make do

How about one night? "

Xiao Xiu'er was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and said to the shopkeeper: "What is the status of my son, how can he live in a place like a stable!"

Xia Leng glanced at Xiao Xiu'er, in fact he really didn't care about such things as face, not to mention sleeping in a stable, even sleeping on the street would be fine, but Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling's bodies may not be able to bear it.

"There are really no rooms left." The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "How about you go to a folk house in the town and try it out."

"No." Xiao Xiu'er shook her head, "It's so easy for the common people to sleep peacefully, so it's not good to wake them up now. You run an inn, so there's no reason to drive the guests out."

"Then there is really no other way." The shopkeeper spread his hands, "It's not that the little old man is rich or not, it's that there is really no room."

"Let's add more money, and you ask someone to vacate the room." Xiao Xiu'er quickly thought of a compromise plan. In short, she absolutely did not allow her son to sleep outdoors.

The shopkeeper's eyeballs rolled, and he laughed immediately: "How much more?"

"Is this enough?" Xiao Xiu'er threw a small bag of gold coins on the table, "Is this enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough!" The shopkeeper smiled so much that his molars were exposed, holding the bag of gold coins in his hand, he hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoer, come here quickly, clean your room, and let a few guests stay." .”

A skinny boy ran down from the second floor in a hurry. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he was stunned and said, "Shopkeeper, my room has already been given up to the three previous guests."

"Is there?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "Did you remember wrongly?"

The shop waiter said again: "The three customers with swords gave the shopkeeper five taels of silver."

The shopkeeper finally remembered, and patted his head angrily: "Oh, what should I do?"

"Stop acting, you've already collected the money, if there's no room, let's see what we do with you." Xiao Xiu'er folded her arms and sneered, she was very displeased with this little trick.

"If you don't have a room, you might as well come to my room." A figure on the second floor leaned on the railing, and said to Xiao Xiu'er with a smile: "I like you the most, a young girl like you, and I will definitely cherish you. of."

Xia Leng and the others raised their heads to look at the person who spoke, and found that it was a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes, not to mention short in stature, and fat as a ball, with a pair of small eyes showing an obscene light.

"Where did the dead fat pig come from, who can actually speak human language?" Xiao Xiuer's mouth was also quite poisonous, "It seems that Yunzhou is indeed a rich place, can even pigs afford an inn?"

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was furious, pointing his chubby finger at Xiao Xiu'er: "You lowly maidservant, who are you calling a pig!"

"Just scold you!" Xiao Xiu'er glared at the other party: "Fat pig, dead fat pig, short and fat dead pig."

"Okay, very good, today I want to let you, a little maidservant, taste the power of my son." The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was furious, and said to the two standing behind him: "Ah Jia, Ah Yi, give me this little maidservant!" I'll grab it."

Two figures fell from the second floor, reaching out to grab Xiao Xiu'er's shoulder.

Xiao Xiu'er is very talkative, but in fact she is very timid, so she immediately hid behind Xia Leng.

Of course, these two didn't need Xia Leng to make a move, Ji Jiu just punched each of them to the ground.

"Hey, you are a good guard, how about letting me?" The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was not angry but happy, and fell in love with Ji Jiu again: "I'll give you five hundred taels of silver, how about it?"

Xia Leng now understands that his unreliable father always likes to call people idiots, and some people really don't have a brain when they go out.

"It seems too little?" The middle-aged man in brocade clothes smiled, and said indifferently: "The five thousand gold coins, sell me your guard and that little maid."

Xia Leng didn't bother to talk to this kind of person at all, so he just said to the shopkeeper: "I don't care what you do, in short, clear out a room as soon as possible, do you understand?" Clean out the room." The shopkeeper originally wanted to take the opportunity to knock in some more money, but he couldn't help being coaxed by Shang Xia Leng's eyes, "Xiaoer, why are you standing there, why don't you take this young man to the room?" !

"

The waiter nodded and immediately led the way.

"Hey, kid, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, I'm asking you something!" The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was furious, pointing at Xia Leng and shouted: "I'm from the Yun family in Yunzhou, you better think about it! "

Feng Tianling whispered a popular science beside Xia Leng: "The Yun family is one of the four surnames of Fengyun, Yunlei in Yunzhou, and it is gaining momentum now. It is said that it is connected with a certain royal family of the Ji Dynasty."

"Hmph, what's the big deal, our young master is... well, I won't say anything." Xiao Xiu'er wrinkled her nose, and just about to say something, she raised her eyes and met Xia Leng's, so she had to cover her mouth with her hand.

"Which family are you from? I'm not interested." Xia Leng said indifferently: "However, living here will make me very uncomfortable, so get out."

The eyes of the middle-aged man in brocade clothes were full of disbelief, and he said coldly, "Did you say something wrong, or did I hear it wrong?"

"We want his house too." Xia Leng pointed at the middle-aged man in brocade clothes, and said to the shopkeeper, "You ask the waiter to clean it too."

The shopkeeper was stunned: "He, he is from Yun, Yun's family!" "Hahahaha..." The middle-aged man in Jinyi couldn't help laughing, "Boy, you are so interesting. After so many years, you He was the first one who dared to speak like that to someone from the Yun family. Unfortunately, you messed with the wrong person, and your life might be lost

. "

Xia Leng casually ordered: "Ji Jiu, throw him out."

"A-Ding, A-Bing, go and teach this kid a lesson and let him know how powerful our Yun family is." The middle-aged man in brocade clothes shouted loudly at this time: "Don't kill him, take off his clothes and cut his belly open Let it hang out overnight."

This is very vicious, saying don't kill him, but also cutting open the belly to dry overnight, in fact, he wants Xia Leng to suffer a night of guilt before he dies.

Two more figures flashed out from behind the middle-aged man in brocade clothes, like two ghost figures rushing towards Xia Leng together.

Boom! Boom!

Unfortunately, they didn't even touch the corner of Xia Leng's clothes. Ji Jiu took the initiative to attack, swept them with a whip kick, kicked them out of the inn, and threw Ajia and Ayi who were lying on the ground go out. "Who are you?" The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was finally a little scared. After all, the four guards he brought were all martial arts masters, especially A Bing and A Ding, who was a master-level master. Unless he met a cultivator, otherwise , definitely hit it all

The world is invincible.

"Could it be that you are cultivators, cultivators of immortality?" The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was so frightened that he sweated profusely.

"The less you know, the better for you." Ji Jiu didn't want to waste Xia Leng Baogui's rest time, so she didn't answer the middle-aged man in brocade clothes, fell to the second floor, grabbed his collar and threw him out of the inn. The middle-aged man in brocade clothes was really scared, he got up from the ground and ran away. Before going out, his elders reminded him thousands of times that he could mess with anyone in Yunzhou, but immortal cultivators should stay away from him, otherwise the family would not be able to keep him. just him

Never thought that he would be so unlucky that he would meet a cultivator in such a small inn. Now there are two rooms, just enough for Xia Leng and the four of them. Naturally, Xia Leng shared a room with guard Ji Jiu, while Xiao Xiuer shared a room with Feng Tianling. In fact, Xiao Xiuer wanted to take care of Xia Leng personally, but she was afraid that Ji Jiu would bully Feng Tianling, so she was worried.

The situation is inevitably a little tangled.

"My lord, are you really a cultivator?" The waiter in the store cleaned up Xia Leng's room, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Xia Leng timidly.

Xia Leng said indifferently: "What's the matter with you?"

"That, that, do you know how to catch ghosts?" The waiter looked around vigilantly and asked softly.

"Is there a ghost here?" Xia Leng asked casually.

Ji Jiu kept staring at the shop waiter and remained silent.

"There really are ghosts." The shop clerk nodded hastily: "Yes, he is still an evil ghost, and he often comes out to eat people in the middle of the night. Some time ago, some guests in our inn were also eaten by ghosts."

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Xia Leng was a little interested, after all, he had never seen a creature like a ghost.

The waiter shook his head hesitantly: "That's not true, but I entertained the guest who was eaten by a ghost."

"What's the specific situation, let's talk about it." Xia Leng subconsciously felt that there was a problem here, so he was bored and listened to ghost stories to pass the time. "It happened three days ago, and at this point in time, also a young son, with two beautiful maids, also..." The shop waiter is obviously a chatterbox, but unfortunately his vocabulary is not much, and he just goes back and forth. a few adjectives, listen

Xia Leng only frowned.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xia Leng knocked on the table, "Otherwise, go out and don't disturb my rest."

The shop clerk stopped suddenly, his eyes widened and almost fell out of their sockets, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying. "Ghost, ghost is here!"
