Chapter 11: The Ghost Inn

Li Xuandu originally thought that this incident of the Taiyin corpse was just an inconsequential small wave, and after a little fuss on the rivers and lakes for a while, it would dissipate and become invisible. But now it seems that this wave has a tendency to get bigger and bigger, it is that there is no wind and no waves, if someone blows the wind behind, the small waves will not disappear under the blowing of the strong wind, but will become a big wave, if it goes further, it is a whirlpool, and all those who are involved in it are difficult to escape.

By now, Li Xuandu and Nan Kezi have some meaning that it is difficult to ride a tiger. In all fairness, the two of them didn't have much interest in the so-called Taiyin Corpse, they were involved in this matter entirely because of others, and now they found that things had become complicated, so they had two choices, either to move forward or to retreat, the advantage of the latter was to avoid being dragged into the whirlpool, and the disadvantage was to damage the morality of the rivers and lakes, as for the former, it was thankless.

As for how to choose, if it is a person, God knows that he knows, whether it is to move forward with enthusiasm or to calm things, it is nothing. Now that there are two people, you have to consider each other's thoughts, which is a bit complicated.

The two looked at each other, a young man and a bad old man, but they had a strange feeling of "holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, but they were speechless and choking".

After a while, the old man's face was thicker, and he slowly spoke: "This matter is treacherous, we should think about it in the long run." ”

Li Xuandu, as an old Jianghu, of course, is not the kind of stunned young man who wants to act chivalrous regardless of it, not to mention whether he advances or retreats, even if he wants to continue to go deep into Beibi Mountain, it is always right to think twice, so he also nodded.

At this time, they were on the edge of Beibi Mountain, and the two of them wanted to return to the county seat of Beimang County, and they didn't want to provoke the banshee in the summer palace, so they decided to go another way.

The rush was the most boring, and Nan Kezi told Li Xuandu about a strange incident he encountered in his early years.

It was in Luzhou, there was an inn, quite weird, there was no dinner and tea in this inn, only the coffin room, all the nameless and ownerless corpses in the surrounding villages and towns were placed in the inn. In the evening, the road leading to the inn is blocked with thorny wooden strips, so that no one is allowed to approach.

At that time, Nan Kezi was still very young, and he had not yet apprenticed to the door of Donghua Sect, he didn't know the truth, and he strayed into the blocked road when he was in a hurry at night, and he happened to pass in front of the door of this inn, and saw that the inn was brightly lit, and he was tired of hurrying, so he went to knock on the door to stay, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, and he was about to leave, but the door opened by itself.

Nan Kezi looked inside, only to see that it was very lively, some people were drinking, some people were chatting, their spirits were flying, and they were happy. The shop and the guys were very busy, so it was not lively.

Nan Kezi was about to step in, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he didn't hear the sound outside just now, how could it be so lively now, and then take a closer look, although there are many people chatting and drinking tea, there is no shadow, and they seem to be looking at him with their spare eyes. Although the shopkeeper was busy, he didn't see half a bead of sweat on his body, which was really weird.

At this time, the shopkeeper stepped forward and beckoned Nan Kezi and asked him to come in quickly, Nan Kezi didn't speak, turned around and left. As a result, as soon as he walked a few steps, he heard a sudden sound behind him, Nan Kezi couldn't help but look back, but this hope didn't matter, it almost cost him half of his life.

It turns out that there are three yang lamps on the body of a person, one on the head and the other two on the shoulder, which are the yang fire on the person, and when you walk at night, if someone calls your name, do not look in both directions, if it is blown out, it will summon the ghost to the soul. When Nan Kezi turned around, he extinguished a yang fire, and his own yang energy weakened, and he could see many things that he couldn't see, almost scaring him to death. I saw that wherever there were people in the inn, they were all coffins and wreaths, full of dead corpses and ghosts, waving at him and smiling.

Frightened, the yang energy decayed, and a yang lamp was extinguished, Nan Kezi was suddenly taken advantage of by the ghost, and his body walked into the inn uncontrollably. At this time, Nan Kezi was extremely scared, and when he crossed the threshold of the inn with one foot, he only felt that his legs were weak, and he peed his pants, and then he fainted in fright and was unconscious.

When he woke up, it was already the first afternoon of the next day, and he saw that one of his feet had entered the ghost shop, and less than a foot away was a dead corpse, and he was trying to reach out and grab his ankle, and look at his face, which was quite similar to the shopkeeper he saw last night.

Later, Nan Kezi was successful in cultivating, and then recalled that the reason why he was able to escape the catastrophe was due to two reasons, the first was that there was a talisman written by a master on the door of the inn, and the ghosts in the store could not come out, so he could only pull Nan Kezi into the store. The second reason is that Nan Kezi at that time was all a child, and a splash of boy's urine and yang qi was the heaviest, and he broke the ghost art, so he was not pulled into it, and he was really lucky to pick up a life.

Li Xuandu listened curiously. Since he set foot in the rivers and lakes, his cultivation has been extremely high, and in his early years, he was a person with extremely murderous aura, and such ghosts and evil spirits are not close to his body at all. Even if he passed by that inn back then, I am afraid that there would not be a sneaky person who had eaten enough to provoke him, so what Li Xuandu saw was not a lively scene with bright lights, but a dark and dead place where corpses were parked. Naturally, he won't go to one of them to find out, let alone stay here, pass through the door without entering, and leave no ghosts, it's really just passing by, so Li Xuandu has never encountered this kind of thing.

Li Xuan couldn't help asking, "What happened to that inn?"

Nan Kezi stroked his goatee and said, "I went to Poor Dao a few years ago, and I wanted to end this evil fate, that is, to surpass this group of powerful ghosts to avenge the revenge of the year. Mr. Li doesn't want to look at me like this, he is not a saint, and some selfishness is reasonable. Besides, the poor road is also public-minded, the ghosts in the ghost shop, although there is the suppression of the seal, can not be separated from the ghost shop half a step, but it is always a disaster, if there are people like the poor road back then, it is not impossible, you must know that people and ghosts have different paths, the reason why they are powerful ghosts, because they already have the heart of harming people, or cannibalism of human flesh, or sucking people's yang energy, and even more, there are that high-flying ghosts, but also to borrow the corpse with the body to return the soul, if it was not for the poor road that soaked in the boy's urine, maybe it was occupied by which ghost, so the poor road removed those ghosts, it is also a good deed, it is meritorious。 ”

Li Xuandu suppressed the smile on his face and asked, "How did that Dao Chang catch ghosts?"

Nan Kezi sighed and said, "When I went to the poor road, I was a step late, and the ghost shop was gone." According to the locals, there was a ruffian who often stole chickens and dogs, molested women, and peeked at women taking a bath, once after being caught by the villagers, he first broke his leg with a stick, and then drove him out of the village, the ruffian broke his leg, and there was no money, he couldn't live, he hated it in his heart, and he wanted to take revenge. One night, he came to the door of the ghost shop, took off the talisman seal on the gate, and released the ghosts, although he could not escape the mouth of the ghosts, but the people of the village also had to bury him. Fortunately, a husband and wife passed by, first used Taoism to destroy the group of ghosts who were about to wreak havoc, and then buried the dead bodies in the inn in a place to dissolve the yin and evil qi, and finally only the ruffians died in the mouth of the ghosts. ”

Li Xuandu's face became a little strange, and he asked, "I don't know where that inn is in Luzhou?"

"It's in the territory of Huainan Province, Luzhou. Nan Kezi said: "It's a coincidence, the location of the inn is not far from Taiping Mountain, I think the people who hung the charm in the ghost shop before, and the couple who killed the ghosts later, are all from the Taiping Sect." By the way, I also heard that after the couple destroyed the ghosts, they did not leave, but moved into the inn, first built a wall around the inn, and then built a two-story building, actually started a business, and also set up a big flag in the courtyard, borrowed the name of Taiping Mountain, and called it 'Taiping Inn'. ”
