Maybe it was too late, the cafeteria on the first floor was empty, and there wasn't even a young man on duty. Only an old man sat at the counter, his eyes closed as if he was napping. His face was as thin as a piece of withered bark, and his hair was gray. Hook Pig knocked on the table for a long time, and he didn't raise his eyelids to take a look.

"Shopkeeper, we booked a room first. ”

The man opened a single eyelid and dropped five keys on the counter.

"Is there any food or drink?" asked Gouzhu. After running for a night, he was a little hungry. Although he might die at night, he didn't want to be a starving ghost.

"Nope. The old man didn't move at all, and the word came out of his nostrils almost as well.

"When the kitchen is off, it's okay to get some cool, find some leftover cooked meat, and cut a little at will. ”

The old man seemed to feel very annoyed, and pointed to the gate with his hand: "Love to stay, don't live - go." He seemed to want to say "get out", but he felt that it was too much, so he changed it to "go".

The hook pig was about to have a seizure, but when he thought that it was already dark at night, it was too troublesome to go out and find other inns at this time, so he had to endure it. The old man also grasped their weakness. They had to go upstairs hungry.

Song Ruhai checked the environment on the second floor. This inn is not big, there are only ten rooms on the second and third floors, except for one room on the third floor, I don't know who lives in, the other rooms are empty.

This was because they were originally a group of nine, so when they came to dinner, they paid for nine rooms in advance. The inn was almost all but booked by them.

"If someone could attack at any moment, we had to take turns on duty. ”

Fortunately, the five rooms they lived in were all on the second floor, separated only by a thin wooden plank. If someone is on duty, a single call can wake everyone up.

"I'm the one who caused it, I'll keep vigil. ”

"We three men, each for an hour, and the night passed. Song Ruhai said, "According to the age, I will first, after an hour, I will wake up the hook pig to change, and finally the wood." As soon as the morning dawns, we will go back to the Jade Palace. ”

The reason why they stayed here was to wait for the brocade-clothed young man to bring someone over, so that they would have the opportunity to return the Xuantie Wood Seed to each other and settle this grievance. But tomorrow dawn these people have not yet arrived, and there is no point in them staying here.

Song Ruhai has always said that he didn't dare to disobey the pig, so he had to go to sleep in the room. Song Ruhai was guarding the corridor. He kept watch for an hour, and when it came to the third watch, he was safe and sound. He woke up the hook pig and went to sleep on his own.

Hook Pig didn't plan to wake anyone up again. If the other party comes, he quietly returns the seeds to them, so as not to let the brothers and sisters get involved, which is the safest.

"Where will they come from?" Hook Pig thought for a long time, "not necessarily through the gate." ”

In the dead of night, it seemed that everyone was asleep. There was silence all around, and there was only the sound of crickets in the darkness. Hook Pig pushed the window open, and the moonlight sprinkled on the sleeping Qingyang Town, and it was almost dead silence outside. There seemed to be a dog barking in the distance, but it was at least miles away.

"It's so quiet, if someone comes, I'll be able to hear it. He jumped onto the window, climbed with his hand, and grabbed the eaves. Then he rolled over slightly, and he was on the roof.

This inn is located on the side of the official road. There is a ring of open space around. If someone approached, he could see it clearly from the roof.

"I'll just sit here and watch," he thought to himself, "and if they come, I'll go and talk to them directly." ”

But his biggest problem is that he can't sit still.

After less than a quarter of an hour of sitting, his ass began to itch. But it's nothing, just walk around and move your muscles.

Hook Pig suddenly remembered that when he was a thief in the past, occasionally he would wear a night coat and walk through the roof of other people's houses.

Every time I get it, I feel that every pore on my body is comfortable. It feels like I haven't enjoyed it in a long time.

It's a pity that he didn't cherish the stolen money, and in a blink of an eye, he drank and ate meat with his fox friends and dogs. Otherwise, he would have saved a few hundred taels of silver and lived a comfortable life of a little rich.

The desire to do something is like a disease that goes deep into the bone marrow. After arriving at the Jade Palace, he had been holding back for more than a year.

"That old man has such a bad attitude," Gou Pig snorted in his heart, "I'll go and give him a few taels of silver......

He climbed the eaves easily and climbed down from the second floor, and when he reached the first floor, he opened the window and jumped in gently, without making a sound. This was originally what he was good at when he was a thief, and after he practiced light skills in the Jade Palace, he was even more powerful.

When I entered the lobby on the first floor, it was really empty. Even the half-asleep old man on the counter was gone. Only the oil lamps were still lit.

Hook Pig touched the mold behind the counter, and didn't find a penny.

"This old man, you are really careful. "It seems that the old man took all the money with him when he left.

But that didn't bother him as a professional thief. The average inn has an account office not far from the counter, and all the money is kept in it. Of course, the shopkeeper also slept in the account room and kept vigil.

Hook Pig quickly touched the door of the account room. Strangely, there is a lock on the door of the ledger!

He thought the shopkeeper would sleep in the bookkeeper. If the door is locked, there is no one in the room. Where did the shopkeeper go? There was no other room on the first floor. Could it be that the shopkeeper went to sleep in the guest room on the second floor?

That's fine. Hook Pig suddenly became excited. In his history as a thief, he had never succeeded in ransacking an inn's bookkeeper......

He pulled out a copper wire. It was worn around his wrist as a bracelet. He hasn't been left for more than a decade. In addition to making bracelets, it is occasionally used to pick locks.

This ordinary copper lock really couldn't stop him. In a few clicks, the lock was opened. Pushing the door open, he took a deep breath. Sometimes when he entered the account room where there was a lot of money, he could really smell the stench of silver and copper.

"What's this weird smell?" he frowned in the darkness. He didn't smell the money, he smelled a strong smell of blood, as if he had entered a slaughterhouse.

He took out the fire fold and shook it. This kind of thing is specially issued by the outer courtyard of the Jade Palace for disciples who go out to make a fire, it is a small bamboo tube, which is filled with white phosphorus and flammable straw, and the outer door is sealed with wax. When you use it, poke off the wax seal with your fingertips, shake it, and the white phosphorus will ignite when it encounters air, and the whole bamboo tube will become a small torch.

The hook pig took the fire fold and shone it around, almost frightened to death.

In the small room less than a few steps wide, four people were piled up on the ground, old and young, looking at the clothes, it should be the shopkeeper and two men in this inn, as well as the cook.

Moreover, the old shopkeeper on the ground was obviously not the same person as the half-asleep old man who came back before and saw him sitting behind the counter.

They were all dead, and blood was spilled all over the ground. The hook pig was standing in a pool of blood, trembling with a fire fold in his hand.

If the shopkeeper is dead, then who is the half-awake shopkeeper he saw before?

That person was certainly not the real shopkeeper. He's not even a human, he's a dryad blood purifier, from the demon realm. His only mission is to purify the bloodline of the Tree Clan and exterminate those humans in the human world with the "Innate Tree Body".

Because the innate tree bodies of these people are not a gift of nature at all, but the result of the bloodline of the dryad.

All he needed was a corpse with an innate tree body. Bringing back the corpse, he immediately completed his mission and returned to the tribe.

So he's just one person, and he needs to take the credit for it. Moreover, He Wanyi had already told him clear information that this group was all first-level martial arts disciples who did not exceed the second level of foundation building.

No matter how many people there are, he can easily win it.

This old man - he just looks old. When he peeled off the old skin on his face and took off the gray wig, he became young.
