Although there are many types, they can't arouse Xu Ming's interest.

In this dynasty that was reluctant to use salt and had no spices, the meat cooked simply with soy sauce was a little bit better than the empire that never fell.

For Xu Ming, who is used to eating all kinds of delicacies, he can only try something new, such as free-range pigs and chickens.

Of course, business matters now.

Xu Ming quickly stopped the boss who was about to leave.

"Boss, I want to ask you something."

"Guest officer, please tell me!"

The boss seemed very polite.

Xu Ming turned around and pointed to the white gate on the city wall in the distance:

"I heard that the white gate tower was the place where the fierce general Lu Bu died. Why does the vicinity look so desolate?"

The boss originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard Xu Ming's question, his face faded in an instant.

"Why, why do customers care about that building, there is nothing to see there..."

He hesitated, and his eyes were erratic. Even a fool would know what he was hiding.

Xu Ming smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just took out another silver ingot from his pocket and threw it on the table.

The corner of the boss's eyes twitched, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Guest officer, don't embarrass me, I really..."

With a smile on his face, Xu Ming took out three pieces of metal from his pocket and threw them on the table.

The size is about the same as a silver ingot, but the surface exudes a faint golden light.

It's gold!

The boss couldn't help but gasped, and subconsciously leaned back.

Xu Ming's seductive voice sounded in his ears.

"With this amount of money, it is enough for you to move out of Xiapi City and open another restaurant in another place..."

As if he was afraid that Xu Ming would repent, the boss immediately picked up the gold ingot and stuffed it into his arms with lightning speed, and then made a deep joke at Xu Ming.

"Whatever the guest officer wants to ask, the villain will know everything!"

"It's easy to say ~ easy to say ~ first tell me if something happened to this white gate building?"

The smile on Xu Ming's face became even brighter.

Since money can communicate with the gods, it can also strengthen people's courage.

The boss only hesitated for a moment before telling Xu Ming about the shocking tragedy more than ten years ago.

Xu Ming couldn't help being stunned, he killed ten soldiers in one breath, the ghost haunting the Baimenlou was not so fierce.

You must know that soldiers represent the country, and at the same time, one of the professions that demons and ghosts are least willing to provoke is stained with blood and iron.

But ten of them died that night, and their death patterns were extremely strange.

The beheaded corpse actually climbed up to serve as a stepping stone, causing the remaining comrades to hang themselves, it was as if someone had manipulated their minds.

Xu Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Boss, why did you say that Baimen Tower is haunted?"

The boss glanced around nervously before replying:

"What else can there be? Lu Bu was beheaded for public display at the White Gate Tower, and his concubine committed suicide by holding his head. Of course, the couple had a grievance and ran out to harm others."

Mentioning this, the boss seemed very angry.

"In the beginning, as long as you don't approach the White Gate Tower at night, you'll be fine. Later, as long as the soldiers patrolling nearby, and even people living near the South Gate committed suicide one after another, it finally reached the ears of the prefect.

He ordered people to invite eminent monks to hold a water and land meeting to appease the souls of Lu Bu and his concubines.

It didn't work. The soldiers patrolling at night were still killed, and even two of the invited monks were killed.

Seeing that there was nothing he could do, the prefect asked an expert to close the entire white gate building, and set up two bronze statues at the gate to exorcise the evil spirits, thus slightly restraining the ghosts. "

The boss sighed.

"But it's just containment, it can't completely suppress the ghosts.

Every night, there will be strange noises from the White Gate Tower, and the residents near the gate will gradually move out.

After more than ten years, this area has become what it is today. "

After listening to the restaurant owner's narration, Xu Ming looked serious.

It is rumored that Lu Bu's concubine must be the famous Diao Chan.

I really didn't expect this pair of desperate mandarin ducks to turn into ghosts to be so terrifying, and the whole city of Xiapi was helpless for more than ten years.

Xu Ming absolutely believed that the prefect of Xiapi, as the chief official of a city, would never let such a thing go his own way.

In fact it is.

According to the owner of the restaurant, the prefect of Xiapi once wanted to demolish the entire Baimenlou directly during the day.

As a result, the doors and windows had just been removed, and the craftsmen who did it all hanged themselves on the first night, without exception.

More than a dozen craftsmen all died in one night, and the news could not be concealed. It quickly spread throughout Xiapi City. After that, no craftsman dared to demolish the Baimenlou.

In this situation, it is impossible to compare the craftsmen with a knife to dismantle it, otherwise the prefect's reputation and official position will be lost.

In desperation, he had no choice but to give up.

The eunuch failed to make a plan and made a living, so he thought of pouring oil on the white gate building, planning to burn it down.

Unexpectedly, just after the fire was ignited, it was suddenly overcast, followed by lightning and thunder, and the torrential rain poured down all of a sudden, instantly extinguishing the fire.

The ancients were superstitious, not to mention directly affecting the celestial phenomena.

From then on, including the prefect himself, he no longer dared to think about the Baimenlou, so he could only ask the master to seal the whole Baimenlou.

Time passed slowly, Xu Ming slowly tasted the food on the table, and he didn't know how long it had passed.

At this time, the owner of the restaurant came over again, and said with a smile on his face:

"Guest officer, it's getting late, do you think..."

Xu Ming was taken aback, and subconsciously looked out the window.

Unexpectedly, the sun was setting to the west at this time, and there was no one in the street outside.

Xu Ming turned to look at the boss.

"Boss, are you closing now?"

"Yes, the shops on our street are closed at this time. After our house is closed, we have to go home before the curfew, so..."

The boss rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

The guest has just presented a large sum of gold, and now it's moving people, it's really a bit inappropriate.

But no matter how much money there is, how can it compare with the lives of my family.

If you don't close the store now, there will be a curfew in the city, and you won't be able to leave even if you want to.Then you have to stay overnight in the shop.

But in the past few days, the death date of that fierce god is approaching, and it is the time for that fierce god to make a fuss.

Even the prefect gave permission for the south gate to be guarded at night, not to mention the powerless people like them.

The boss explained their difficulties to Xu Ming, and Xu Ming expressed his understanding, then packed some unfinished food and left the restaurant.

Xu Ming stepped out of the gate of the restaurant with his front foot, and the boss closed the gate with his back foot, and hurriedly led the people to the north, as if he was being chased and killed.

Xu Ming shook his head, turned around, and turned straight to the alley next to him.

About half an hour later, there was a sound of metal rubbing, and soon a group of heavily armed soldiers hurried north along the street.

After the group of soldiers left, Xu Ming poked his head out from the shadow of the alley.

At this time, only a little outline of the sun remained on the horizon, and most of Xiapi City was shrouded in faint twilight.

The entire south gate was locked tightly, and there was no one around the city gate, or even on the city wall. The south side of the entire city seemed to be undefended.

Xu Ming stroked his chin with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was only around 6 o'clock, which was a little too early.

In order to prevent some soldiers from leaving, or meeting soldiers patrolling the curfew on the street, Xu Ming decided to wait until the area was completely deserted before taking action.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the needle pointed to ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Ming walked out of the alley again.

It was already late at night, not to mention the South Gate, even the entire Xiapi fell into a deep sleep.

The street was even more empty, not even a ghost could be seen.

Whoosh!

The wind blew through the gap where it didn't know, and made strange whistling waves, rolled up pieces of paper and fallen leaves on the ground, and floated in the air, looking like ghost money scattered in the dark night.

However, except for the sound of the wind, the barking of cats and dogs, and even the movement of mice, insects and ants... nothing can be heard.

This area seems to be completely dead, without a trace of living creature activity.

Apparently the animals also sensed the danger and consciously avoided the area.

Xu Ming became more and more careful.

He walked slowly along the street facing the south gate. The street was very quiet, and it seemed that only his footsteps echoed in the cold night.

Suddenly Xu Ming's expression froze, and he dodged and hid in a side alley.

Not long after, a group of figures in black armor slowly appeared at the intersection and walked towards the south gate.

After the group of soldiers left, Xu Ming walked out from the alley with a serious expression.

Not only did these soldiers make no sound when they walked, they even had no shadows under their feet. The most important thing was that their heads were empty. From a distance, they looked like armor that could move by itself.

This is a team of evil soldiers!
