Chapter 6: The Man in the Red Cloak
"Uh...... Old-timer, we have been in this mountain town for three days, and I have been busy exorcizing evil spirits and catching ghosts outside these days. And my ......."
"Don't talk nonsense when you eat, why do you talk so much nonsense?"
Before I could finish speaking, the old man Hanako immediately interrupted, blew his beard, and then said: "It's not so simple to find the place where the demons live, if it's so easy to find the place where the demons can be found, it can only mean that the demons hidden under the mountain can also run out and harm the people anytime and anywhere." Therefore, the demon in this place must be hidden deep under the mountain, and it is rare to be born once, and it is not so easy for people in the world to find it. We need an opportunity, and when the opportunity comes, we will be able to enter the mountains and go straight to the lair of the Demon Land! ”
"Opportunity? Old-timer, I don't understand at all, what kind of opportunity? ”
I just asked, but when I saw the guy bring the food, I immediately paused, and when the guy walked away, I then asked, "Senior, can you finish talking at once?" Every time it makes me want to break my head, mysterious, I don't know what you're thinking! ”
"Hahaha...... Stinky boy, if the old man can let you know what he wants, then just call you an old-timer! ”
The old man picked up the wine glass and drank it again, and then said: "Don't worry, the old man hasn't done nothing in the past two days, the way to enter the mountain has been inquired, and we can enter the mountain early tomorrow morning." However, the old man still wants to leave you a little more time, so that you can break through the Mixed Yuan Exercise to the realm of the third layer of the Great Zhou Tian as soon as possible, so that the old man can sit back and relax! After saying that, Hanako sighed lightly and drank again.
"Even if I can't do it then, won't there be old-timers! I still can't find out how high the old-timers are, but I believe that the old-timers must be the masters, in short, with your old man, I dare to go straight to the land of demons! ”
As I spoke, I grinned, picked up my glass and touched one with Hanako, and drank it beautifully.
"You kid, you know to use the old man's bones as a shield, but don't have too much hope for the old man, the old man doesn't have any Taoism, in fact, last time in the Night Clan, he also bluffed the Ye Zijun, the patriarch of the Night Clan. If you really do it, the old man will probably die worse than you, boy, our lives are in your hands! ”
Hanako smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Huh?"
I opened my mouth in a daze, then shook my head again, "Impossible, right?" The protector of the Night Clan or something, the Taoism is all first-class and high, plus Yezijun, even if my master goes, it is impossible to be so jealous of them, and the old-timers easily suppressed them, so that they didn't dare to fart in front of the old-timers, doesn't this show that the old-timers' Taoism is profound? However, if your old man really frightened them, and he didn't have any Taoism, then we would go into the mountains this time, and it would be unpredictable! Unless...... Unless I slope the Mixed Yuan Gong to the third layer of the realm, I may be able to protect myself. ”
"That's your kid's business, the old man doesn't care, in short, the old man promised you to take you to find the place where the demons live, and then you can be considered to have completed the task, and the rest depends on how big your kid's creation is!"
The old man was sipping sorghum wine, and suddenly, he put down the wine glass suddenly, his face sank, and he whispered to me: "The old man is a little sleepy, go back to the room to rest first, you kid eat by yourself, just give me the wine!" Before I could react, Hanako had already left the table with sorghum wine and turned back to the guest room on the second floor. I was stunned, which one of these old flowers is playing? He had only drunk a few glasses of wine, and besides, he hadn't done anything at all these days, so how could he suddenly get sleepy?
After thinking about it, he simply stopped paying attention to the old name Hanako, he has always been eccentric and eccentric, and he doesn't know what he really wants to do. He's gone for a drink, and it's not bad for me to finish my meal myself! Thinking of this, I grinned, picked up the chopsticks and ate happily, a meal of three times divided by two, when I looked up, I found that the guests in the inn had left early, and the sky outside had already darkened.
I finally drank a bowl of soup and moistened my bowels before the meal was finished. I was about to get up and go back to the guest room, but at this moment, the corner of my eye inadvertently swept to the corner of the inn, and I saw a very strange person sitting in that inconspicuous place. It is strange because it is obviously a young man's hairstyle, but he is wearing a red cloak.
This color is supposed to be a woman's clothes, and if a man wears it, it will look particularly eye-catching. But the young man, sitting in the corner with his back to him, drinking alone, I couldn't see his face at all, and the more I was like this, the more curious I felt, but just as I was about to get up and go around to the front of the man, at this moment, the candle lit on the counter of the inn was suddenly extinguished, and the inn was instantly filled with a cloud of black, and nothing could be seen.
"Huh? How did the candle go out? There's no wind blowing in outside! ”
The shopkeeper's depressed voice was heard immediately, and soon, the candle was lit again with a fire. I stood where I was, until the yellowish light filled the inn again, and then I slowly turned my head and looked at the red-cloaked man in the corner, but the strange man was gone! Gone...... At this moment, the shopkeeper was the first to shout: "Hey! What about the guest? Why did he run away after eating food and drinks without seeing him pay?! ”
"This blue sky is bright and bright, and I actually met someone who eats white food again, it's really unlucky!"
The shopkeeper complained as he went to the corner to clean up the mess. I frowned even more, just as soon as the candle was extinguished, and then lit, I didn't seem to notice any signs of anyone entering or exiting the door, if the man in the red cloak was eating white food, he should have slipped away from the door. So, where will he go?! Thinking of this, I walked quickly to the shopkeeper, who was still muttering.
Maybe I owe money to the tavern once with my old name Hanako in Da'an Town, and I don't want to go, so I mind this kind of thing very much. When I came to the shopkeeper, I smiled and asked, "Little shopkeeper, when did the guy here just now come?" Hearing my voice, the shopkeeper hurriedly turned his head to look at me, as if he thought I was the person just now, but after seeing me, the shopkeeper couldn't help but lower his head and put away his chopsticks.
After a while, the shopkeeper spoke, "When did you come...... I really don't know. ”
"No, you should know when his food and drinks were served, right?"
I frowned slightly, and the mysterious man in the red cloak gradually attracted my interest in finding out.
The shopkeeper stood up straight, thought about it carefully, and immediately said in surprise: "Yes! When did I serve him a meal, why can't I even remember that? He never seemed to have been here, and the food was ...... I don't think I've ever been on it before! It's so weird, Mr. Big, tell me, that person can't be a ghost?! After speaking, seeing that I didn't answer, the shopkeeper immediately hurriedly turned around and ran away with a plate and a wine jug.
"Coming and going without a trace? That's new! ”
I smiled and shook my head, but at this moment, I heard a "popping" sound from the window of the room where Hanako and I lived, and immediately looked up at the door of the room, and I remembered that there was only one window in this room, which opened to the pond at the other end facing the back street. Thinking of this, I hurriedly ran to the door of the guest room, and was about to call out to Hanako, but when I reached out and touched it, I found that the door of the guest room was hidden. My heart is tight, what do I always ask Hanako to do in the room?
Pushing open the door and looking into the room, I saw that the lights were blind and the candles were not even lit, so I hurriedly shouted: "Old-timer? Did you sleep? As I spoke, I hurriedly lit the candle, but turned to look at the bed, and there was no one there! Then I looked around, and found that Hanako, who was always called, was not in the room, and I was stunned, and hurried to the window, but I saw that the stick from the window had also fallen into the pond outside, and the window was closed.
After thinking about it, I remember that the old name Hanako said that he didn't cultivate as a Taoist, so he was an ordinary old man! It couldn't be that he was drinking on the window, and he fell into the pond after getting drunk? After some speculation, I hurriedly pushed open the window and glanced at the pond outside, but it was dark outside, and the light was very dim, and the vicinity of the mountain seemed to be prone to fog at night, obscuring most of the moonlight.
I hurriedly opened the eye of the sky, stared closely at the pond under the eye and scanned it, the fish in the water were clearly visible, even a few loaches did not escape the visit of my eye of the sky, only, only the old name Hanako was missing. Where did the old Hanako go?
Turning his head to look at the door, he always told Hanako to specify that he would not go through the front door, if he walked through the front door, he shouldn't have escaped my eyes, then, that is to jump from this window? Thinking of this, I jumped down from the window in an instant, and just as I was about to fall into the water, I suddenly struck out the refining whip, and a huge anti-shock force suddenly swept up from the water, making me leap into the air again, and after a few takeoffs, I had already appeared at the entrance of Shanqian Town, far away from the back street.
And at this moment, I kept glancing around, but I didn't see the old man Hanako again, thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted: "Old-timer? Old-timer?! Where are you? Old-timer! "I didn't shout out the old Hanako, just at this moment, I suddenly saw a red figure on the hillside not far in front of me, and I looked carefully, that, isn't that the man in the red cloak who was eating in the inn before and then mysteriously disappeared?!
