Inside the huge inn, it was empty and extremely depressed, neither the guests nor the shopkeeper.Up and down the inn, there was only one person dressed as a waiter sitting on a bench and dozing off one after another.It is strange to say that this inn was built in the prosperous street in the afternoon, when the business of the inn was supposed to be booming, but no one stepped into the inn while looking at the passers-by outside the gate of the inn. Inn.

The little second-hand propped his head on his head and was soundly asleep. From time to time, he would babble and spit out some indistinct words.At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the inn. He was awakened suddenly by the sound, his wrist slipped, and his head slammed on the table. Immediately, his eyes glowed with gold, and he lost his drowsiness.

He rubbed the back of his head and stood up from the bench, his eyes lit up when he saw the person in front of him, and hurriedly went up to him, "Hello, young master, are you here to play the top game or stay at the hotel?"

Wen Xia looked up at the inn and said, "Stay in the inn."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Er smiled happily, "The upper room is reserved for you, my son, please come here!"

"No rush." ​​Wen Xia picked a table and sat down, "First a pot of wine."

When Xiaoer heard this, his facial features were wrinkled into a ball when he laughed, and he quickly brought a jar of high-quality old wine from the wine storehouse, and poured it for him, "Young master, please use it! It’s right here, Master Wei, at any time!”

Wen Xia took a sip of her wine and said, "I don't have any orders for a while, but I just want to inquire with you about something in the city."

"I don't dare to say that I know [-]% of the big and small things in Monan City, but I do have [-]% or [-]%." Xiaoer put the handkerchief back on his shoulders, with a rather complacent expression, "Young master, ask me It can be regarded as asking the right person, as long as the little one knows, I will know everything and say everything!"

"I heard that not long ago, a strange thing happened to an inn on this street." Wen Xia put down the wine glass, and said, "A guest who stayed at the inn disappeared without a sound overnight. When the second went to check the room, there was only one broken black gun that was carried by the guest in the room."

He looked up at Xiao Er, "I wonder if there is such a thing?"

The smile on Xiaoer's face froze when he heard the words, and he stumbled and said, "Young master, I'm afraid I heard it wrong... I know all the small inns on this street, and I have never heard of such a strange thing... "

Wen Xia was about to run out of a glass of wine, and tapped the wine jar with her fingers.Xiao Er understood, picked up the wine jar to refill for him, but the wine was poured intermittently.Wen Xia looked at Xiao Er's movements of pouring the wine, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Your inn is really depressed."

The little second hand slipped and almost fell off the wine jar, "Recently, business has been sluggish recently..."

"So that's the case." Wen Xia raised her head, pointed to a guest room on the second floor, and said, "I see that there is something wrong with that room."

Xiao Er looked in the direction of his finger, his body tensed suddenly, "...what's wrong?"

"The black air is lingering." Wen Xia said, "There will be bloody disasters in the near future."

The wine jar rolled onto the table with a rumbling sound, and the wine gurgled out. Wen Xia dodged sideways and lifted the wine jar, but saw the little girl looking at him with a terrified expression.

"You spilled the wine." Wen Xia said, "You have to pay for it."

Xiao Er's expression changed, "My lord, you...you didn't come to stay at the hotel."

Wen Xiayou nodded calmly, and pointed to the drinks on the floor, "I will pay the money, but you have to pay for the wine."

"My lord, don't embarrass the little one." Xiaoer groaned with a bitter face, probably already guessing his intention, "You see, I'm the only one in such a big inn, it's not easy for me..."

Wen Xiaer drank the wine in one gulp, put the cup on the table, and said, "What did he do in your inn before he died?"

Xiaoer's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't answer in time.Wen Xia looked at him, her eyes sharpened suddenly, "If there is even half of the deceit, there is no need to continue to open this inn."

As soon as the voice fell, the wine jar on the table shattered into pieces with a bang, the fragments splashed on the ground, and the wine flowed all over the table.Xiaoer's face was also splashed with some wine, he wiped his face with a handkerchief embarrassingly, and said: "...Young master, don't get angry, just tell me."

He cleared his throat, and said: "Ten days ago, a guest of our inn did die, and the inn is so depressed now... It is also because of this incident. The behavior of that guest is no different from ordinary people, and he only asked about it once. One thing for us."

That guest lived in their inn for half a month, leaving day and night, hardly talking to the waiters in the inn.So when I had a conversation with them only once, I was very impressed.

Wen Xia asked, "Who is he asking? What is he asking?"

"The guest asked whether Mo Nan has a strange poison that can control people." Xiaoer sighed, "I was asking about other guys, but the guy didn't know about it. And I happened to listen to it, and then I answered smoothly."

Wen Xia's face darkened slightly, "How did you answer?"

Xiao Er said: "I said, there are many strange poisons in Mo Nan, and there are dozens of aristocratic sects who are good at using poisons. It can be called the place where poisons are most abundant in the world of cultivating immortals. He can't ask anything with such a question." here."

Wen Xia pursed her lips in a straight line, her thoughts were spinning, Shaoqing said in a deep voice: "If the poison is the mother-child Gu poison, the person who refines the poison controls the mother Gu, the mother Gu controls the child Gu, and the child Gu enters the body to control the person's every move. , do you know the source?"

Xiao Er was astonished, and thought that the question she asked was exactly the same as that of the guest who died unexpectedly.He thought for a while, and said: "The guest said the same thing as you, young master... But I am young, and I don't know where there is such a strange poison in Mo Nan, so I didn't answer this question."

Wen Xia got up, glanced at Xiao Er, and said for a moment, "So you're still alive."

If the waiter in the shop really knew the origin of the child-mother Gu poison, I am afraid that he would not stand in front of him today and let him ask questions.

Xiao Er is also used to being a jerk who rolls around in the crowd, he didn't know the pros and cons of what he said, and immediately felt chills on his back and broke out in a cold sweat.

Wen Xia had already stepped up to the second floor, put his hands on the railing and asked the frightened Xiao Er, who was still sluggish in place, "Which room does he live in?"

Only then did Xiaoer come back to his senses, and wiped the cold sweat off his face with a handkerchief, and when he was about to answer, another person came from the inn.He raised his eyes and saw that he was a handsome young man dressed as a monk, so he knew that his shop might not be able to open today.

Lang Chan went straight up to the second floor and walked to Wen Xia's side, "Ah Yang."

Wen Xia straightened up, her expression normal, "How did you find this place?"

Lang Chan said: "I went to your house to visit you, but I didn't see you. Hearing about the Demon Lord, he asked me to come here to look for you."

Wen Xia was silent for a moment, then said: "I can do it alone."

"I cannot shirk my responsibility for Mr. Mo Zhu." Lang Chan said with guilt, "Ah Yang, let me and you find the murderer of Mr. Mo Zhu, otherwise my life will be in jeopardy."

Xiaoer went up the ladder, pointed to the room on the east side of the second floor, and said with lingering fear: "...that's the room."

Wen Xia turned her head to look at Xiaoer, "You go in too."

Xiao Er showed a distressed expression, Wen Xia threw a spirit stone into his arms, he thought about the spirit stone for a long time, gritted his teeth and walked in the front, opened the door and walked in.Wen Xiaer and Lang Chan stepped up on their heels, and saw that the room was clean and tidy, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Xiao Zhan said with trepidation: "The person who discovered the strangeness in the room ten days ago is not Xiao Xiao, but the guy who replaces the guest with new tea every morning."

Wen Xiaer went inside, and Lang Chan stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Wen Xiaer asked with doubts in his heart, "With only one gun, how did you know that something happened to him?"

The broken spear means that Mo Zhuni is dead, and the only people in their family who know about it.

Xiaoer said: "The two of you will know when you take a look at the floor under the window..."

Wen Xia'er and Lang Chan looked at the same time, and saw that the floor under the window sill was darker than the one next to it, which was particularly abrupt.Wen Xia squatted down, stretched out her fingertips and rubbed it a few times, then put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, her heart sank.

"Although I entered this room after a while after the incident, I was still scared to death when I saw the scene in the room..." Xiaoer recalled with difficulty: "A room full of blood... ...How can people still survive after bleeding so much? I have never seen so much blood in my life! The floor turned black like this because it was soaked in blood. It's useless to wash it afterwards."

After Lang Chan listened, his face was solemn, "Ah Yang."

Wen Xia curled up her fingers, stood up and asked Xiaoer, "Did there be any movement in the room the night before the accident?"

Xiao Er seemed very reluctant to mention it, "I heard from the guy on duty that night that this room was very quiet all night...so we guessed that this guest might be..."

"How?" Wen Xia asked.

"I don't know if he hanged himself..." Xiao Er's voice became weaker, "But after thinking about it again, whoever hangs himself will produce so much blood, then he will have to deal with himself a lot."

Lang Chan paused his sword-holding hand, and said: "Mr. Mo Zhu has a good cultivation, it's not easy to take his life quietly."

Wen Xia was noncommittal, thought for a moment and was about to go to another compartment, when a red talisman flew out of his sleeve.He looked at the red talisman, frowned, and wanted to recall it to his sleeve, but the red talisman didn't obey his order, and quickly flew down, burrowing into the crack of the dark floor.

After a while, he saw a blurry black figure poking out half of his body from the gap. Seeing this, Wen Xia suddenly remembered that it was the living soul that entered his talisman at the bottom of the pool and ate the talisman. The living soul has been extremely quiet since entering the red talisman. He originally thought that the living soul had already escaped when he was not paying attention, but he didn't expect that it was still there, and it ran out at this moment, which really surprised him.

"Ah Yang, what is this?" Lang Chan asked him.

Wen Xia said, "A soul."

Seeing this, Xiao Er's legs trembled in fright, and it was extremely difficult to run without turning around.

Wen Xia stared closely at this living soul, and saw that its body had already flew out of the cracks in the ground with the scarlet talisman attached to it. He stretched out his hand and grabbed its body violently. It opened its mouth and screamed, and a pitch-black The thing fell out of its mouth.

Wen Xia immediately picked up the red talisman with his palm, put it in front of his eyes, and after looking at it, the knuckles of the hand holding the soul turned white.

Lang Chan also looked at his hand, "Is this... a worm?"

The outline of the living soul pinched by Wen Xia'er was deformed, and Wen Xia's repeated hissing made Wen Xia think deeply. He let go of the living soul and let it run around in the void as if stimulated, saying: "This should be poisonous insect."

He sealed the poisonous insect with a red talisman, turned his gaze back to Lang Chan, "It might be the one who killed Mo Zhu."

"Mr. Mo Zhu is a monk, even poisonous insects can't take his life silently." Lang Chan said, "Ah Yang, why can you be so sure?"

Wen Xia glanced at Xiao Er who was standing far away from them, and Xiao Er rushed out of the room as if she had been pardoned, and even closed the door for them.

"In the water village, I once fought against a man in black." Wen Xia said, "That man's cultivation is unpredictable and he is good at using poison. I taught him the way of poisonous insects once. Fortunately, Jun Wang helped him I detoxified, so I was able to escape.”

Lang Chan was thoughtful, "Then this poisonous insect, isn't it the man in black? He did it to Mr. Mo Zhu?"

"Maybe." Wen Xia looked up, and saw that the living soul had fled to the beam of the room to hide, as if afraid of him.He said: "You have made a contribution, come down. I will not hurt you again."

The living soul showed a little dark outline but still hesitated, Wen Xia thought for a while, stretched out his palm towards it, and said, "Come down."

Shenghun spun a few times on the beam, swayed his figure, flew slowly into his palm, and stopped moving.

Wen Xia nodded, stared at this living soul for a long time, and said, "The whole body is completely black, so let's call it Dahei."
