American Celestial Master

Chapter 89, "Tiger"

Lin Qiusheng closed his eyes, carefully feeling the movement of the sword in the box.

"This way of fluctuation seems to be calling for something?" Lin Qiusheng thought like this, and just wanted to feel it carefully, but the movement disappeared all of a sudden.

After entering Bulgaria, Bill slowed the car down.After all, his diplomatic immunity is only valid in Turkey, and if something happens here in Bulgaria, it will be quite troublesome.But the distance behind was not far away, so after an hour and a half, they arrived in Haskovo, Bulgaria.

Haskovo is a small city with a population of only 9 to [-]. In China, a city of this size can only be regarded as a small town.But in Bulgaria, Haskovo is the capital of Haskovo Oblast.

"I checked on the Internet. There is a hot spring in the south of Haskovo, and there is a hot spring hotel there. The conditions are not very good, and it cannot be compared with Istanbul - after all, this is not a tourist city. There is only a hotel in Sofia in Bulgaria. The conditions are better, but still can’t compare with Istanbul.” Ralph said, “It’s already more than four o’clock now, I just checked, and Bulgaria is not peaceful these days, the Bulgarian government has advised citizens to stay in Don’t go out casually after sunset. So we’ll just spend the night here tonight, go to Sofia tomorrow after dawn, and then fly back to the United States.”

Bulgaria has also been a place where Turkey and Orthodox Catholics clashed fiercely in history. Even Romania's Impaler also fought here.Speaking of vampires, there is no more northerly Romania with the Impaler, but there are also a lot of vampire legends here. At the beginning of this century, a large-scale "vampire cemetery" was even discovered.Of course, the vampires are not really buried here, but most of the corpses in this cemetery have been "anti-vampire treatment" in advance.That is to say, the heads of all the corpses were cut off, and a long iron rod was nailed into the heart.

In some villages in Bulgaria, even until the 70s, there was still the custom of driving a long iron nail to the heart of the deceased during the funeral.Here, like Romania, is a hard-hit area for vampires. The only difference is that the local vampires do not have such a famous figure as the impaler, so that they cannot develop "vampire tourism" like Romania.

The three of them drove quickly through the small town to the hot spring hotel in the south of the city.

The scale of this hot spring hotel is not large, only a small three-story building, but overall, the environment is not bad.Besides the hot spring, there is also a small rose garden next to it. It is already the end of April, and the peak season of roses is coming soon. There are already many roses in full bloom in the rose garden.Bulgaria is the world's largest producer of roses and rose essential oil. Although it is not the most famous rose valley, there are also many rose gardens.

But when they entered the hotel, the first thing they smelled was not the aroma of roses, but the smell of garlic.Throughout the lobby, mirrors and garlic are hung wherever mirrors and garlic can be hung.Because according to legend, most vampires are afraid or at least dislike mirrors and garlic.

"Fortunately, this is Bulgaria. If it were in the United States, there would be so much garlic that would attract a large group of Jersey Devils for dinner." Ralph laughed when he saw the situation here.

"If it's in the UK, there are so many mirrors, if they are not handled properly, and the devil in the mirror is brought out, then it will be troublesome." Lin Qiusheng also laughed.

Three people booked three rooms at the service desk.The female receptionist gave them the key and told them:

"Our rooms are all blessed by priests, and crosses are hung on the windows. We have mirrors and garlic hanging in front of the windows, which can also scare away vampires. So you don't have to worry too much when you live here .But after sunset, don’t go out casually.”

"Has there been a vampire attack in this area?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"Of course, we even know a vampire," said the receptionist.

Upon hearing this, Bill became interested. He sat down on the high chair by the service desk and said to the front desk, "Sweetheart, can you tell me about that vampire you know?"

While talking, Bill also took out a fifty-dollar bill, put it on the service desk and pushed it over.

The lady at the front desk collected the fifty dollars deftly.Said to Bill: "That vampire is called Boyan. Two years ago, he overturned while riding a motorcycle and broke his spine. He was paraplegic and couldn't even use a wheelchair. He could only lie in bed all day.

We had some vampire attacks here a month ago.Vampires have attacked farmers' livestock and even invaded hospitals in search of blood.When he invaded the blood bank of the hospital, he was captured by the camera, but he was disguised at the time, and no one recognized him.Well, do you know how he was exposed later? "

"How did you expose it?" Bill asked cooperatively.

"He's a fan and recently there was a Europa League game between Roma and Ludogorets. Some of his friends came to his bedside and watched the Europa League game with him. It turned out that he was in his room. There was no garlic and mirrors, and then in the second half of the game, Ludogorets’ players scored a goal to overtake the score. He was excited, and when he scolded Ludogorets, his feet moved. (Northern The team Ludogorets has dominated the domestic league championship for many years, and they have "revenge" with some teams in the south) This situation was discovered by someone with a heart. As a result, the person reported the matter to the priest, and the priest called to report It’s just that it was already night, and no one dared to arrest him. The priest and the police came to the door after the sun came out the next day, but at that time he might have realized that he had been exposed, so he had already Ran."

"That is to say, he hasn't been caught yet?" Bill asked again.

"Yes, a few days ago, some people said that they saw a person wandering under the street lamp at night. He looked a bit like him, but he didn't dare to look closely. But you know, in the middle of the night, there are still people who dare to casually Going out? So everyone believes that he has not left, and he is still around here." The female receptionist replied.

"It's really horrible," Bill said. "Honey, this story you're telling scares me. I won't be able to sleep at night..."

Having said that, Bill moved a little closer and said, "When I can't sleep at night, can you come and comfort me?"

While speaking, Bill moved one hand against the table of the service desk, and raised his hand slightly, revealing the corner of the dollar again.

The female receptionist stretched out her hand and hooked the dollar with her little finger.Bill grabbed her hand and touched it. The front desk didn't resist, just giggled, and said, "Everyone, let me show you to the room."

Several people stood up and prepared to follow the front desk upstairs. Their rooms were all on the second floor, and the three rooms were all next to each other. The three of them chose a room and put their luggage away. Lin Qiusheng hesitated a little After a while, he took out the dagger from the box and hung it on his waist, then went downstairs to have dinner with Ralph and Bill.

The pipe ax has already established a relatively stable connection with Lin Qiusheng, so there is no need to worry about any problems if it is left in the room, but if this sword is not with you, some troubles may arise.

Coming down the stairs, Bill asked the front desk where the restaurant was, flirting with her or something.The receptionist also brought them to the restaurant with a smile, but Lin Qiusheng noticed that the receptionist would glance at the dagger hanging on his waist from time to time.And when he turned his gaze to her, she would immediately look away.

"This woman is unusual." Lin Qiusheng thought, "Did she discover the abnormality of this sword?"

He looked at the woman carefully again, but he didn't see anything.The sound of the woman breathing and the sound of her heart beating were normal—she was a very normal human woman.

After sitting at the table, the female receptionist left.Lin Qiusheng took out three copper coins from his pocket, quickly made a divination, and then frowned.

"Is there anything wrong here?" Ralph asked quickly when he noticed Lin Qiusheng's movements.

"It's nothing, it's just a habit. When I go to a new place now, I always do some divination to reduce the danger."

"Then is there any danger here?" Ralph asked again.

"No. But no matter what we do, we still have to be as cautious as possible." Lin Qiusheng said.

When Lin Qiusheng was doing divination just now, he got a Tianze shoe.The hexagram of this hexagram is: "walking on the tail of a tiger, don't bite people, Heng." It means that if you step on the tiger's tail, the tiger will not bite, which is auspicious.

From a purely literal point of view, this means that there is no major risk.But if you step on the tiger's tail, although the tiger doesn't bite people, there are still tigers that are powerful enough to eat people.And Liusan also said: "Liusan can see blindly, and can walk when he is lame. Walking on the tail of a tiger is fierce, and a warrior is for the majesty." Therefore, whether it will be lucky in the end depends on one's own operation.

Is there a "tiger" here that can threaten us and is stronger than me in strength?Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but also felt a little worried.It's not that Lin Qiusheng has never experienced the encounter with a "tiger" stronger than himself.But in this kind of situation, the "tiger" is usually in the light and Lin Qiusheng is in the dark, and they are fully prepared.This is the first time Xiang has encountered such a sudden encounter with a "tiger".
