Atami Onsen, located on the Izu Peninsula in Japan, is Japan's largest hot spring resort.

There are more than 300 springs, feeding nearly 300 large and small hot spring hotels here, and when Qin Yang and Situ Xiang drove there, it was just before dinner.

Atami Onsen is a great place for many Japanese people to spend their weekends traveling and relaxing, but this is not the weekend and the number of people is not particularly large.

Qin Yang did not choose those large hot spring hotels that occupied a large area, but drove all the way, and finally chose a small coastal hot spring hotel that seemed to have no guests.

As for how to tell if there are no guests, it's as simple as looking at whether there are cars parked in the parking lot of this hotel, after all, people don't come here to soak in the hot springs on foot.

When the owner of the hotel saw the guests, he happily greeted them and bowed to Qin Yang and Situ Xiang who got out of the car.

The hostel is small and relatively remote, and is run by a family of three, a middle-aged couple and a daughter in their early twenties.

The wife warmly greeted the two into the house, and after arranging the room, it was almost dinner time, Situ Xiang took the initiative to take the menu and arrange dinner, a quite sumptuous seafood feast.

The husband was busy in the kitchen, while the wife and daughter served food and wine, and set up a table on the balcony by the sea.

Qin Yang and Situ Xiang were sitting on the balcony, about to start enjoying the seafood feast, but the direction of the door below the side suddenly sounded the sound of people's conversation.

Qin Yang took a look, but saw a person standing at the door, wearing a rather old down jacket and carrying an old wooden box in his hand.

The proprietress saw that there were guests again, and she was quite happy to welcome them.

"Welcome, sir, are you alone?"

The middle-aged man with a somewhat dark face nodded silently, and the proprietress politely invited customers in.

"Come in, sir, it's dinner, it's cold outside, it's a steaming meal and a steaming hot spring bath, it's very comfortable...... Everything in our shop is cheap, much cheaper than the previous inns, but our onsen is not bad at all, and my husband's cooking is also famous here......"

The proprietress enthusiastically introduced the silent middle-aged man into the room, the middle-aged man looked left and right, seemed to sense Qin Yang's gaze from the side, raised his head, glanced at Qin Yang, and then lowered his head again.

Qin Yang's eyes were slightly stunned, because in that glance just now, Qin Yang actually saw a sharp gaze like a blade.

This middle-aged man is not an ordinary person.

Practitioners!

And it seems to be a master!

Qin Yang was very surprised, he found a remote hot spring hotel at random, and he was able to meet a cultivator, this luck seemed to be very good.

Qin Yang's gaze fell on the long wooden box he was holding in his hand, what could a cultivator master carry in his hand?

Qin Yang definitely didn't believe that there was a musical instrument lying quietly in the wooden box, and there should be something else lying in it that should exist more.

Knife, or sword.

"I want a room, a small single room, how much does it cost?"

The proprietress introduced attentively: "Sir, do you want to have a hot spring in your room, or no hot spring?" ”

The man in the middle said in a deep voice: "Don't want a hot spring, just give me the cheapest one...... I can't afford to live in it. ”

The proprietress was slightly disappointed, but her attitude was still very enthusiastic: "Okay, please come with me, the single room without a hot spring and not by the sea is very cheap, only 6,000 ......"

The middle-aged man was silent for two seconds: "Okay." ”

The proprietress led the middle-aged man to a room opposite, and the conversation was still coming.

"Sir, it's dinner time, what would you like to eat?"

"Let's have a big bowl of seafood noodles."

"Okay, do you need anything else, drinks? Our sashimi here is fresh......"

"No, I don't have much money."

"Okay, then you wait, I'll let the kitchen do it for you, and I'll be here soon!"

Situ Xiang looked at Qin Yang and listened with his ears pricked up very seriously, and said with a smile: "What, I'm very interested in that person?" ”

Qin Yang smiled, his eyes were slightly worried: "We came here quietly, shouldn't be known?" ”

Situ Xiang frowned: "It's impossible, we are random, and we are very careful when we go." ”

Qin Yang snorted and said softly, "That person is a cultivator, a master!" ”

Situ Xiang was stunned for a moment, she didn't look at it just now, but when she heard the voice, she naturally didn't know what kind of person the other party was, and when she heard Qin Yang say this, she immediately became vigilant: "This hotel is a bit deserted, if something really happens, but there is no way to call for help, be careful, do you want to leave first?" ”

Qin Yang shook his head: "Don't worry, let's take a look." ”

Because of this unexpected guest, Qin Yang and Situ Xiang had a lot of things in their hearts, and they were not as relaxed and natural as before.

Although Qin Yang believed that no one would follow him here, it was better to be cautious after all.

Soon, the proprietress went to the guest's room with a large bowl of seafood noodles on a wooden plate, and Qin Yang pricked up his ears again.

"Sir, your seafood noodles, please use them slowly."

"Good!"

"If you have any other needs, please feel free to ask, and I will be in front."

"Okay, this is the room fee and meal money, you collect it first."

"Sir, don't be in such a hurry, let's settle it when you check out."

"You take it, maybe I will leave in a hurry in the evening, and I may not have time to settle the bill then."

"Oh, okay, I'll take it first...... Then you eat first, and I'll clean it up later. ”

"Good!"

The proprietress pushed the door out, took the dinner plate and the money given by the middle-aged man and went back to the front, Qin Yang retracted his attention, picked up a glass of wine, and took a sip gently.

"Something is likely to happen tonight."

There was Qin Yang's reminder before, Situ Xiang also pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation on the other side, nodded approvingly, and said softly: "I just stayed in the hotel, and I settled the bill for the hotel and the meal, which can only mean one thing, that is, he may leave in the middle of the night......"

Qin Yang snorted: "This is very remote, but it is a good hiding place, he still carries weapons with him, but it has nothing to do with us, if he comes for us, he will not be so swaggering and not avoiding us." ”

Situ Xiang thought for a while and said, "It should be, he didn't come by car before, and it's hard to stay away in the middle of the night, so maybe what he wants to do is around here." ”

Qin Yang's eyes raised and looked at the other side, as if he wanted to see through the partition in the middle: "No matter what, be vigilant at night." ”
