On the side of the road between Qucheng and Xucheng, there is an inn specially for businessmen to rest. The color seems to be blood-stained, which makes people feel very ominous.

"Old man, have a cup of tea." The four travel-stained people stepped into the blood-red afterglow, walked into the inn, and raised their voices.

"Okay~" The old shopkeeper with white hair smiled and handed over a pot of tea, "May I ask the two guest officers, are you staying in the shop or playing the tip?"

"Stay in the shop." The leader said.

"Oh, what a coincidence," the old shopkeeper said with a look of embarrassment, "It's getting late today, and there's only one guest room left."

The old shopkeeper's surname is Cai, and he lives in Yangxin County next to Qucheng. A few years ago, he and his son opened an inn on this road for businessmen to rest.Don't talk about making money every day, at least you can marry a daughter-in-law.But unfortunately, within a few years, the daughter-in-law here was unlucky, so she gave birth to a son and left.Helpless, Cai Weng had no choice but to bury his daughter-in-law in a remote guest room and bury her seven days later.

There are quite a lot of people coming and going on this road, and it is common for them to be full. If it weren't for the mortuary today, these four people would have no choice but to sleep in the wild.

They looked at each other and made a decision.

On the other side of the inn.

"...If you want to go from Xucheng to Qucheng to do some small business, visit relatives, and transport darts, you must take this road! This road, whether it is long or not, is short It’s not short. If you walk with your feet, you can start at dawn and go there at night. If you ride a horse, it’s faster. It’s not a small thing. Any businessman who does small business can ride a horse, and the businessman Well, naturally it is more prosperous during the day, if you are greedy for such a small amount of money and go all the way to the dark, not only will you be mentally ill, you will not be able to sell things, and if something happens on the road, you will lose money Madam broke up again, do you think it makes sense? After all, in this world, one person goes out to do business, and all that is on his body is the wealth of the family. If there is something good or bad, the whole family will not be able to survive. , but anyone who is more cautious will not dare to walk that night." The waiter in the store talked endlessly.

"That's right," the girl in black lightly smiled. Her figure had just begun to grow, and a strange knife like a crescent moon was pinned to her waist. Her white fingers tapped on the wooden table, and then Said, "Could it be that there are some goblins and ghosts coming out at night? I don't believe it."

"Hey! Don't mention it," the meal is over, Xiao Er has leisure time, just in time for the beautiful woman to have some money, and naturally he can't stop talking, "A few days ago, someone died in the wild, and the government sent someone to collect the body." I took a rest in this inn when I was young, good guy, I took a sneak peek at it when I was young, tsk tsk, the head and feet were divided into several parts, that person had come to the store before to shoot, If you say no, it will be gone...." He exaggeratedly folded his arms and shuddered, "Guest officer, you haven't seen it, I have never seen so much blood in my life, adults go away After that, it took three days to wipe off the blood on the ground, and the little one had nightmares for several days."

"Ha," the girl laughed and shook her head, "According to what you said, what about those who can't stay in the inn at night?"

"Everyone has their own fate, and the younger one is just a second, how can he take care of so much," the second shook his head and sighed, "According to the younger one, your luck is really good, sir, although you are in... Young Madam It’s next door, but it’s still an empty room, right? For the four people who came today, even sharing a room with the young lady is much better than sleeping in the open.”

"That's not for sure." The girl shook her head, "The living can't stand Yin Qi, and the dead can't stand Yang Qi, so Yin and Yang are in conflict... Ah, Xiao Er, wait and prepare hot water for me." , send it to the room, thank you, take this bit of silver."

"Okay~ I'll prepare it for you~" The waiter weighed the money in his hand and went happily.

The girl tidied up and got up to go upstairs as well.

However, as soon as she entered the room, the knife at her waist suddenly flew up and fell across her neck. She remained motionless, sighed, and said, "Why are you doing this?"

"Naturally, it is necessary." A voice that only Qingwu could hear suddenly sounded in the empty room except for the girl. The handsome man in a dark blue hunting suit said with a smile in a language different from others, "It's not true. Do you know how many things the Lord has kept from me?"

"Hey, I want to say it, but I can't help it." The girl also changed to the same language as him, and smiled bitterly. Seeing that the expression on the man's face was a little shaken, she cautiously Move the blade away from the side of his neck, "I have a special constitution, this kind of thing happens often, it becomes bigger and smaller, just get used to it."

This girl is of course Ruan Qingwu. Compared with before, her stature has grown a bit, she is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the height from the man's chest has also grown to the shoulder. reachable height.

"Does it change like this every time it happens?" The man poked Qingwu's face with his black gloved hand and asked with interest.

"Probably." Ruan Qingwu glanced at himself and said, "It should be that time has regressed on me. It seems that I can only wait for it to recover by itself. There is no way to get rid of this state at present."

"Where are we?" The man accepted the statement, and the knife returned to the scabbard. He sat down at the table in the inn room, played with the teacup in his hand, and asked.

"It seems to be my world, but it's a little different." Ruan Qingwu thought for a while, "As for the difference... you'll know at night."

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, seemingly in disbelief.

"Zong Jin..." Ruan Qingwu sighed helplessly, and said, "I always feel that you should have more trust in me."

The sword spirit named Sanri Yue Zongjin was noncommittal, and the crescent moon pattern in his eyes glowed dimly under the candlelight.

The two faced each other in silence.

"Okay, okay, I lost to you." Ruan Qingwu, a senior face control officer, has never been able to resist beautiful things. She shrugged, sat down on the other side of the table, and propped her chin and said to him, "That's all you want to know ?”

"Just curious." Sanri Yuezong smiled and said, "After all, the master who has too many secrets always feels insecure."

"Don't worry, I'm also very curious about you," Ruan Qingwu made a hush gesture and said with a smile, "But you and I both know that now is not a good time to tell the whole story, isn't it? If so, why don't we Take your time, my secret, one day you will know. Now," she listened, and smiled, "it's beginning."

San Riyue also listened carefully. Although he is a sword spirit, but as a monster, his five senses are naturally much better than ordinary people. He heard not very loud, but extremely slow footsteps from the next door.

"This is?" He asked with a glance.

"Unfortunately, I got it right," Ruan Qingwu shook his head and sighed, and said in a low voice, "The energy of yin and yang collided, and a corpse rose."

"Resentment?" Sanriyue said when she saw the black breath seeping in from the cracks in the wall.

"It should be." Qingwu nodded, "It seems that there must be something hidden about this woman's death."

"Difficult childbirth?" Sanriyue said, thinking of what she had heard before.

"If the child is alive, he shouldn't be so resentful..." Qingwu thought for a while, and said, "I know very little, I just got it from books, but based on my previous observations...cough cough, Don't stare at me like that, I'm in trouble. Maybe something else happened."

"For example?" Sanriyue said unhurriedly.

"For example..." Qingwu knocked on the table and said, "You can also see that Xiao Er just now."

"Oh?" San Riyue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's a coincidence that the hot water I asked for before has not been delivered until now."

"This hot water, I'm afraid it won't come." Qingwu also smiled and said. "Shall we go and see the excitement?"

"You don't plan to do anything?" San Riyue asked in surprise.

"Do it if you can, if you can't," Qingwu said, turning his pen around, "then let's collect the corpse for someone else."

"It's better not to go." Sanriyue said suddenly, he glanced behind Qingwu.

"Oh?" Qingwu understood, the pen in his hand suddenly stabbed behind him.

"I underestimated you." The waiter with a gloomy expression held Qing Wu's pen and said.

"Really?" Qingwu remained expressionless, "I think, maybe you have to say this sentence again." As soon as the words fell, a piece of pen protruded from the tip of the pen and pierced straight into Xiao Er's. in the body.

"This is?" the waiter suddenly received a blow, and said in surprise.

"The gift of meeting." Qingwu lowered her eyes and smiled, "Maybe you don't understand, but I understand."

"What?" Dian Xiaoer received a blow, the demon power began to be unable to maintain the human form, and the face began to show a green face and fangs, "You...?!"

"Qucheng and Xucheng, ha." Qingwu laughed, "It's been a long time since I've heard these two names. If my guess is correct, is the woman next door called Ruo Mingzhu?"

"How did you know?" The waiter turned into a monster with blue face and fangs, his voice was like a bell, but he couldn't get rid of Qingwu's writing brush, "And this writing brush... where did you get the Candle Dragon Zhilin? ?”

"That's a long story." Qing Wu smiled, "Is he ready to bear the consequences of what he did in Xu Cheng before?"

"Who are you? How do you know this?!" the waiter growled.

"Me," Qingwu pulled back the brush, turned around and kicked the shop boy to the wall, the black light was dotted, even though there was no dragon scale to suppress him, the shop boy still couldn't move, so he could only stare viciously at Qingwu's smiling face in the candlelight, "It's just an old friend. If you forget, don't have to think about it. On this day next year, I will remember to burn incense for you."
