The strange story of Huai'an Inn

Looking at the majestic formation of banners fluttering in the distance, Chongliu knew that Xu Hanke was coming in a menacing manner this time.

Just how did he find himself and the shopkeeper?

He quickly thought through a series of recent incidents in his mind, and the people who could get in touch with Xu Hanke were probably those people from Ming Yuandao.At that time, someone quietly stole the blood of the shopkeeper in the locust tree. He and Zhu Helan thought it was a water ghost, but yesterday when a dog followed them, they began to suspect that someone else might have done it.And it is very likely that Xu Hanke ordered it.

Did he feed the blood to the dogs and of course follow them through the dogs?

The problem is... If you want to track a dog without being targeted by a dog, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do...

Chong Liu immediately noticed another person he didn't know standing in front of the collapsed stone forest.This person may be 30 years old just by appearance, but because he is an alchemist, he may actually be 60 or [-] years old.He has a handsome face and is wearing a very elegant purple robe, but it is somewhat different from the general Da Luo sect disciples' attire.

This person must be a figure of some status in the Da Luo faction.

On one side was a large group of people, while on the other side of the ruins, there were only Chongliu and the shopkeeper.

Chongliu turned to look at the shopkeeper dully, "What should we do?"

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, and was actually a little angry.

"It turned out that they stole my blood for this. In the six months that Xu Hanke has been quiet, it seems that he has investigated a lot of things." Zhu Helan sneered, and said to Chong Liu, "Go and guard the entrance of the cave, I will try 'Persuade' them back."

Chong Liu worried, "There are so many alchemists in front of you, how can you deal with it alone?"

"If it's difficult to deal with, you have to bite the bullet." The shopkeeper sighed a little annoyed, "These people are really annoying."

The people on the opposite side have already started to walk quickly through the collapsed stones, and those alchemists directly used their mental skills, one by one, like purple swallows volleying in the sky, approaching quickly on the ruins, and they were already close at hand in a blink of an eye.

Chong Liu hurriedly ran back a few steps, hiding at the entrance of the cave with only one head sticking out.

But I saw a group of alchemists lined up in front of the shopkeeper, and the man in purple at the head took a few steps forward, staring at the shopkeeper with haughty and stern eyes, "Zhu Helan, stay safe."

Know the shopkeeper again? !

Is the shopkeeper so famous among alchemists? !

At this time, Xu Hanke and Liu Sheng also came up to him, pretending to bow their hands to Zhu Helan, "Boss Zhu, we meet again."

Zhu Helan still maintained the posture of putting his hands in his sleeves, and did not return the courtesy, "If you want to find me, you can just summon me. I will not disobey the order of the Secretary of the Constitution. Such a big battle, even the Daluo sect. Please come, there is really no need."

"Did Boss Zhu misunderstand something?" Xu Hanke was still smiling, shaking his fan unhurriedly, "I didn't come here specially for Boss Zhu today."

As he said that, his gaze unexpectedly passed Zhu Helan and landed on Chong Liu who was hiding at the entrance of the cave.

Chong Liu shuddered and blinked his eyes.

Xu Hanke wants to find him?

What is there to look for in a waiter?

Zhu Helan's expression turned cold, and his tone was a little more menacing, "Don't get him involved."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhu, you have misunderstood. I am not referring to your waiter." Xu Hanke pointed at the cliff behind him innocently, "It's something hidden in this mountain. This time I just want to invite two A guide to Mr. Gou Chen's hermitage, because it is said that only Mr. Gou Chen knows the location of that thing. Now that we have found it, as long as the two of you cooperate, we will not be embarrassed."

Zhu Helan said, "Mr. Gou Chen is unwell, so I can't help you."

"If Mr. Zhu knows, then naturally there is no need to bother Mr. Gou Chen." Xu Hanke laughed.

The shopkeeper said flatly, "This is not my place, and I'm not familiar with it."

What the shopkeeper said was actually the truth, but no one believed him...

"It seems that you are still so ignorant of flattery." The purple-clothed real person who had been silent all this time said, with half mockery and half resentment in his cold tone.

Zhu Helan finally set his sights on him, and chuckled, "Master Wusheng, does your master Mengku Guoshi know what you did today? Can you threaten me?"

Wusheng real person... Yuanchu's master? !

Yuanchu walked on the front foot, why did his master appear with Xu Hanke on the back foot?Could it be... Yuan Chu was also sent by him?

But... Looking at Yuanchu's various reactions, it doesn't feel like it.Chong Liu became more and more confused.

"Maybe I didn't have that ability in the first place." Master Wusheng raised his chin arrogantly, but his unpredictable eyes fell on Chong Liu, "But now you have someone you care about, I have this ability."

Chong Liu didn't have time to think about the meaning of these words, suddenly his feet began to tremble, suddenly his feet were empty, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight down.

On the originally solid ground, there was a hole with smooth edges.

Everything happened too quickly, Liu'er was still there one second, and disappeared the next second.Zhu Helan's face changed suddenly, and he turned around and rushed to the place where Chong Liu was standing before.But I saw that a hollow stretched downwards, the light couldn't reach the bottom, and there was no trace of Chong Liu.Some yellow-green slime was left at the hole, exuding the smell of rotting flesh.

The shape of this hole, and this slime...is it an earth chinch?

Even though the Da Luo faction often raises some filthy creatures to help them find the source of the filth, such as the bone spiders contained in Yuanchu's box, it is too bold to even dare to raise something like a ground chinch?

Wusheng Daoist clearly dislikes filthy creatures the most, yet he keeps such vicious creatures... The contradictions of human nature are always so confusing.

"Liuer!!!" Zhu Helan panicked, and couldn't wait for an answer after a while, and when he turned to face the real Wusheng again, his whole body was wrapped in a cloud of red smoke rising up, and his eyes that were always indifferent and lazy A bewitching golden light began to emerge from the inside, and the robes danced along with the invisible cyclone.

"Where did you take him?"

Xu Hanke made a surprised look, "Oh, this ground chinch moves very fast underground, if it takes a long time, will it be lost?"

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to answer, Zhu Helan turned around and planned to jump into the hole to chase Di Chi.But as soon as he made a move, he heard Xu Hanke say, "If you jump down now, we have no choice but to go in and invite Mr. Gou Chen out to lead us."

Zhu Helan's movements stopped.

If they found out about Mr. Gou Chen's current situation, it would be a disaster.If there is something wrong with him, Liu'er may find it hard to live with it.

If they want to use Liu'er to threaten themselves, they should not harm his life.It's just that it is an earth chinchilla after all, and there are some unfathomable dangers hidden in the underground palace below the mountain...

"You want me to take you down?" Zhu Helan stared at them coldly.

"Not bad." Xu Hanke said, and glanced at Liu Sheng.Liu Sheng then stepped forward and handed him a spell.

"Eat it." Liu Sheng said in a commanding tone.

Zhu Helan lowered his head and took a look, and knew that the talisman was the talisman that Yuanchu had shown him and Liu'er, created by the real Wusheng.Just wearing it can strongly suppress all the filth in his body, if he eats it...

The filth in his body is so strong that once he tries to resist this spell, if he makes a mistake, it is very likely to cause a filth explosion... Even if he can survive by then, all the creatures within a hundred miles... Liuer, Gouchen Sir, innocent people in nearby towns, could all be involved.Death is probably the best result, what is terrifying is the occurrence of irreversible and unpredictable distortions.

That is to say, once he eats it, he will not be able to use any of his abilities.After a long time, I'm afraid his own body will start to collapse from the inside.

"I hope that after the boss takes us to find the thing, the real Wusheng will naturally give you the seal of the curse, and your buddy will return it to you unscathed." Xu Hanke raised the conditions calmly, but saw Zhu Helan Staring at the spell, there was no movement for a long time.

"Aren't you willing?" Xu Hanke sighed, "It seems that Xiao Pao Tang is the same thing for you, Wusheng Daoist, I'm afraid your Di Chi will be lucky today..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Helan simply took the charm and stuffed it into his mouth.

Master Wusheng looked at his movements, but seemed a little surprised.

Zhu Helan swallowed the talisman in his throat with all his strength, and immediately felt a strong sense of oppression spreading along his limbs.The pain started to intensify from the stomach, he endured the pain and forced himself to relax, gave up the habitual control of the filth in his body, and let the poisonous snake-like coldness occupy every blood in his veins.

The blood on his face faded, his hands and feet seemed to be filled with lead, and there seemed to be countless tiny poisonous spiders biting his flesh and blood under the skin.Cold sweat began to spread from the forehead, and the clothes on the back were gradually soaked.

Xu Hanke clapped his hands in admiration, "Boss Zhu is really a kind and righteous person, but it doesn't quite match the rumors I heard."

Regardless of the pain in her stomach, Zhu Helan stood up straight, managed to maintain her superficial composure, and even pulled out a sly smile, "What's the point of being polite now, if you want to enter the mountain, follow me."

............................................................

Chong Liu woke up in a daze, and felt himself lying on the rough and hard rock, being dragged by something grabbing his feet.The clothes on the back were worn out, and my whole body felt as if it had been run over by a wheel, and it hurt badly.He whimpered, but when he opened his eyes, he felt pitch black, as if his eyelids were still closed, and there was no light at all.

The air was filled with the smell of rotting meat and maggots, as well as the sound of sticky rubbing and another crunching sound of chewing.

what happened?Where is this?

He could feel that the thing dragging him seemed huge, and it seemed that it was not human.Its movements did not have the rhythm of steps, but crawled and squirmed continuously on the ground.Its body collided with the surrounding rock walls from time to time, making rustling friction sounds.

Chong Liu tried to struggle and twist, but when he moved a little, his calf felt a sharp pain.

"Master? Master!" He called for help loudly, his voice echoed in the narrow corridor, but he received no response.

The cave seemed to be opened suddenly, and a more distant but still stale wind rushed in.Before Chong Liu had time to prepare himself mentally, he felt that he was being pulled out of a cliff.When the body fell halfway, it was wrapped up by a soft and sticky thing, and the scream was stuck in the throat and could not be uttered.

There was the sound of sand and stones falling to the ground, and the reverberation became more and more empty.

Finally he was thrown on a seemingly flat ground.The surroundings were still pitch black, the utter darkness without light, which made one's heart sink, almost jumping out of his throat.

He's underground... deep, deep... He's been dragged down by something alive...

And that thing was near him at this moment.He could hear the disgusting goo rubbing against each other.

"You... who are you?" Chong Liu asked in an uncertain, trembling voice.

There was no response, and the surroundings fell into dead silence again.

With no vision or sound, Chong Liu could only reach out and grope around.

Stones... stones everywhere... until he touched something slippery and sticky, covering his fingers like a membrane, and smelling musty of rotten flesh.

There were pains all over my body, and I was afraid that I had suffered a lot of injuries while being dragged along.My right leg hurts badly when I exert myself hard, and I don't know if I hurt any bones.Enduring the pain, he gritted his teeth and stood up, limping and stretching out his hands to grope around.

As he walked, he touched a wall.

A wall made of meat.The texture of the flesh was very similar to the mucus he touched just now, but there was a warm and faint pulsation under the cold surface, and there were many tumor-like protrusions densely covered.

Chong Liu took a few steps back in horror, turned his head and groped in another direction, but within a few steps, he touched the same fleshy wall.And this time, his hand was directly entangled by something protruding from the fleshy wall, and he struggled for a long time before pulling his hand back, his center of gravity was unstable and he sat on the ground.

He tried several more times, each time with the same result.Finally he sat down panting and wiped the sweat from his brow.

The pain in the leg became more serious. He touched it with his hand and could feel a large wound that was bleeding. The pain made him hold his leg and grin his teeth for a long time before he recovered.

He's trapped in a big wall of flesh?Why is there so much meat in this deep underground?

Is it this big circle of meat that pulled him down?or something else?

I have to find a way to escape...

But at this time, a voice came from afar, at first it was very chaotic, almost making Chong Liu think that he was hallucinating.But when the voice gradually became clear, his scalp felt numb for a while.

The child's voice that originally sounded innocent, but if you listen carefully, it is more like a distorted and unnaturally weird pronunciation in a deformed throat.Under the sunless land, it becomes more and more frightening, "Sit in a row, eat fruit, and daddy comes back to cut off the ear... Scale it, two and a half catties, burn it, a big bowl..."

Something I've encountered in the tunnel before...it's nearby...

But that's not the worst part.What was even more frightening was that in the vast darkness in the direction behind him, several other high-pitched voices sang along with it sounded.
