Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

The moment they looked at each other, Shi Dai's eyes were almost burned.

I have rarely experienced this kind of feeling. Just because of a look or a word from the other person, an electric numbness grows from the back of my spine and suddenly rushes to the top of my head.

She knew her heart was beating erratically.

Shi Dai:......
Shi Dai glanced at Jiang Baiyan, then moved her eyes lightly.

She was still held in Jiang Baiyan's arms.
Shi Dai really didn't think much about it at first, hugging her just for comfort, but now she felt a burning heat behind her ears, which made her feel bad.

Would Jiang Baiyan show such an attitude and say such words when facing other people?
"If you want to learn."
Forcibly suppressing the various thoughts in her mind, Shi Dai whispered: "I want to charge tuition."

Jiang Baiyan stared at her for a moment: "What do you want?"

Whatever Shidai desires, he can give it to her.
Money, pearls and jade, heavenly and earthly treasures.
Jiang Baiyan doesn't care about the things outside him. Shi Dai can take whatever he has, but what he doesn't have——

Jiang Baiyan has the strength to take it.

As long as Shi Dai doesn't talk nonsense about wanting stars in the sky like she did on New Year's Eve.

His eyes were dark and heavy, and he was slightly confused by being stared at. Shi Dai let go of her hands and took a step back.

When she came out of Jiang Baiyan's arms, the soft jade-like touch disappeared, the cold fragrance dissipated, and she held her empty palm.

"The tuition fee is——"
Thinking of the injuries all over this man's body, Shi Dai gained some confidence and said righteously: "You have to take good care of yourself and stop getting hurt on purpose."

This answer was unexpected, and Jiang Baiyan paused for a moment.
The next moment, he raised his lips and smiled softly, his appearance was obedient and well-behaved: "Okay."

Could he admit it so easily?

Shi Dai was still worried: "Don't try to get away with it this time. I will make a surprise inspection at any time."

She was still sullen and deliberately emphasized her tone when speaking. Her usually smiling face tightened slightly, as if she wanted to add more momentum to herself.
It's a pity that it doesn't look fierce, but looks like a newborn tiger cub.

It was rare to see Shi Dai's expression, so Jiang Baiyan took a few more glances: "Yeah. Just look at it, Miss Shi."

...What does "just watch" mean?
Choking on his words, Shi Dai hesitated, glanced at Jiang Baiyan's bloody right hand, remained silent, and took out the ointment from her arms.

The back of his hand was in a mess, the flesh had been cut open by him himself, and in Ghost Fighting the Wall, Jiang Baiyan always held the sword with this right hand.
He is really——

After much thought, I can't think of an adjective. This man's madness is probably unique in the world.

This scar is so weird that there is no explanation for it.Of course, Jiang Baiyan could not show it to Yan Qinghuan, so the stab wound was not properly treated from beginning to end.
When the covering strips were lifted, there was blood and flesh inside.

"Young Master Jiang."
Shi Dai frowned and handed him the porcelain bottle: "Please wipe it."

Jiang Baiyan thanked him and took the porcelain vase.

His movements of applying the medicine were skillful and smooth, and because Shi Dai was in front of him, he was several times more meticulous than usual.
With drooping brows, thin lips like vermilion, and a beautiful face that is clear and elegant, Shi Dai looked at it and couldn't help but think:

What kind of expression will Jiang Baiyan show when he cuts his own body with a knife?Pained, frowning, or still smiling as always?

Can't imagine.

Her understanding of Jiang Baiyan only remained on the surface of warmth and alienation.
Shi Dai couldn't help but feel curious about what he really looked like.

Rarely had she felt such an obvious desire to discover someone.

The knife mark was re-bandaged with medicine, and the boulder blocking his heart fell heavily to the ground.
Finally talking to Jiang Baiyan, Shi Dai felt light and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "If there's nothing else, let's go to the lobby to take a look?"

She likes a candid and relaxed atmosphere, and the recent confrontation almost burned out her brain cells, which was really unbearable.
Shi Dai looks calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, her brain is about to explode.

Estimating the time, the third wave of evil is about to begin.

Jiang Baiyan handed the porcelain bottle back and stroked the edge with his fingertips without leaving a trace, vaguely touching the remaining warmth from her: "Okay."

*
As expected, the first floor remained lifeless.

The second wave of evil was protected by Yu Zhihua and Han Zong. The residents barely managed to save their lives. Now they are frightened and frightened. Several people knelt on the ground to pray to gods and Buddhas.

Han Zong has an arrogant face and doesn't treat anyone well. He is staying in his room without showing his head.
In comparison, Yu Zhihua is much more approachable, with outstanding appearance and gentle temperament. While repairing the exorcism formation, he does not forget to help the residents heal their injuries.

Shi Dai kept this mission in mind, focused on her career, and thought carefully.
In other words, all the guests on the first floor were Yu Zhihua's alibi witnesses.

"Master Immortal, please save us."
A girl was crying and sobbing, sitting in front of Yu Zhihua: "Can we go back alive tonight?"

"I have been doing business for many years and I have never encountered anything like this!"
The middle-aged vendor kept shivering and gritted his teeth: "This store... I've heard that this store is unlucky."

The proprietress who was leaning against the wall was immediately unhappy: "Why is it so bad?"

"You came to the inn, haven't you been attacked by evil spirits several times?"
When death was imminent, the middle-aged merchant spoke straightforwardly and without any scruples: "I heard that many people died in the past few times. Isn't this the reason why Lao Shizi's exorcism formation was set up?"

Shi Dai listened attentively and remembered that the landlady had indeed said that Junlai Inn was located in a remote place in the wilderness. Wild animals occasionally approached, and a very small number of evil spirits invaded.

But...thinking about it from another perspective, is it possible that today's changes are related to several evil tides in the past?

Shen Liushuang, who was also in the lobby, caught a glimpse of her and waved to Shi Dai to sit down at the table.

Liu Rutang quietly looked away.

She and Shen Liushuang were always paying attention to the movements in the lobby and had been sitting quietly among the crowd for a long time.
Shi Dai took the initiative to invite Jiang Baiyan to talk in detail for so long——

A quick glance showed that both of them were in a good mood.
Wait, Jiang Baiyan's skirt is a little messy, isn't it?
There are quite a lot of wrinkles, which is very different from the usual meticulousness, as if someone has kneaded it.

The corners of his mouth twitched upward, and Liu Rutang's hand holding the cup shook.

No way.
It's not what she thinks it is, is it?
Still idle, Shi Dai followed the example and raised her voice and asked: "Madam boss, can you tell me about the evil spirits that caused trouble in the past few times?"

Junlai Inn is ordinary, why does it attract evil spirits again and again?

The landlady didn't want to mention it any more. Facing the dozens of pairs of probing eyes in the lobby, she helplessly grabbed her hair.

"From my grandfather to me, evil spirits have entered the inn three times in the past few decades."
The landlady said: "The first time was three or forty years ago, right? I wasn't born at that time. I heard from my father that a group of monsters and monsters broke in in the middle of the night and killed many people. If there weren't some knowledgeable guests among the guests, my father and My grandfather will die."

Shen Liushuang: "Anyone knowledgeable?"

"I don't know if they are Zhenesi or casual cultivators. Their cultivation level is not high. Several people died at the hands of evil spirits."
This topic seemed a little heavy, so the landlady sighed softly: "The second time, 20 years ago. It was a possessed demon. He was wandering in the mountains and forests, saw the crowds in the inn, and rushed in."

She paused and then continued: "There happened to be Zhen'es patrolling nearby that time, and the matter was handled quickly, and no one was injured."

Demons and ghosts are rampant in Da Zhao, and a single monster causing trouble is not a big deal and does not cause any trouble.

Shi Dai sat firmly at the table, propped up her chin with one hand, and listened carefully.

"The last time was ten years ago."
The proprietress said: "I have experienced that chaos. An evil cultivator fled to my inn to avoid being pursued by Zhen'Esi - when Zhen'Esi catches up, of course there will be a fight."

"Actually, it's all accidental."
Liu Rutang discussed in a low voice: "The possessed demon, the evil cultivator who escaped... This inn is really unlucky." Especially when something like this happened today, most of the inn was destroyed, making it worse.

"What about the first time?"
Shi Dai asked the proprietress: "What was the reason for the first evil wave?"

"I don't know much about that."
The landlady thought for a while: "Zhen'Esi has checked it out, but they haven't found out the reason. They just say that evil spirits are causing chaos and cannibalizing human flesh and blood."

A group of evil spirits attacking an inn without any clue?
Shi Dai's thoughts kept turning. Could it be that there was also an evil cultivator who practiced the mind-cause method back then?
No, this is too much of a coincidence. They are separated by decades and there is no deep hatred. How can they be interested in the same place?

She was a little confused in her thoughts and looked at Shen Liushuang and Liu Rutang who were thinking deeply: "Where is Yan Qinghuan?"

"On the second floor."
Shen Liushuang explained: "He plays Wei Xiao who is seriously injured and cannot appear in front of Yu Zhihua. He takes advantage of the last period of time to look through all the guests' rooms."

Although the vast majority of the residents had been staying in the lobby to keep warm and there was no time to commit the crime, if you check them all carefully, you will never go wrong.

"What do you think?"
Liu Rutang gently touched the white snake necklace in front of her neck: "Chen Che and I have consulted a Feng Shui master. The Feng Shui of Junlai Inn is fine, above average."

Shen Liushuang pondered: "Being attacked by evil waves twice in a row is very problematic."

But the gap between the two times was as long as several decades...it's even more difficult to figure out.
Is it just a coincidence?

"How long are we going to be stuck here?"
In the northeast corner of the inn, a young man gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have to wait to die?"

"stop!"
Another middle-aged man quickly stopped: "Don't say that unlucky word."

"Evil spirits are gathering, and Zhen'Esi will arrive sooner or later."
Yu Zhihua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This place is located on the outskirts of the city and is not easy to detect. We may have to wait for a while."

She lost a lot of spiritual energy in the exorcism formation, her physical strength was weak, and her lips turned white: "You don't need to panic. As long as I live, I will try my best to maintain the formation."

These words were undoubtedly a reassurance. When her voice fell, many people's expressions brightened slightly, and they looked at her with even more respect.

"Thank you Immortal Master."
The businessman next to Yu Zhihua wiped away his nose and tears: "By the way, there is also the young master with two swords who can also protect us - ah!"

He screamed and stared blankly in the direction of the corridor.
Shi Dai took advantage of the situation and saw Han Zong dressed in black.

The two long swords were held behind him, adding a fierce murderous aura to him. His sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, obviously dissatisfied with everyone's scrutiny.

Han Zong spoke, his voice as cold as ice chips: "There is some evil movement outside the window."

The implication is that evil spirits are restless and the next raid will come soon.

"anyway."
Shi Dai lowered her voice: "Although Han Zong avoids the crowd, he always comes to the rescue at critical moments."

Liu Rutang, who was familiar with the script, snapped his fingers and hit the mark: "You are a knight-errant, with a cold face and a warm heart."
Shen Liushuang, who has been working hard in Zhen'es for many years, took a sip of hot tea and took over the conversation: "Be careful and steal, gain trust, this is a classic trick of prisoners."

Liu Rutang:......
Liu Rutang: "Reasonable."

Han Zong ignored everyone and had the experience of being treated coldly by him twice before. No one dared to approach him and ask for trouble.

The landlady asked tentatively: "Sir, would you like some tea or food?"

The young man sat alone in the corner, holding two long swords in his arms: "No need."

Very indifferent.
The landlady laughed sarcastically and stopped talking.

"This is the first time I've seen someone use two swords."
Shi Dai looked at him with curiosity hidden in her eyes: "Is there any difference between double swords and single swords?"

I have seen double swords before watching TV. They fight fast and hard, a little less elegant than holding a sword with one hand, and more bloody and murderous.

"What a coincidence, I also asked Chen Che when I was investigating this case."
Liu Rutang raised the corner of her mouth mysteriously: "Chen Che said that the attack rhythm of the two swords is faster and more fierce, and one of them can be used to block. The single sword is more flexible and has more skills."

One is like a wolf and the other is like a snake.

Recalling the scene when Han Zong drew his sword, Shi Dai couldn't help but smile: "He is very powerful. He can use two swords at the same time and he is so fluent."
One person is capable of dealing with the evil spirits in the entire inn, so he is not weak at all.

She praised freely, her voice fell on her ears, and Jiang Baiyan listened quietly.

Shi Dai likes that kind of swordsmanship?
He is not good at using two swords, but if he uses them, he can defeat Han Zong.

His thoughts were careless, but a strange congestion surged in his chest, as if he was being pressed lightly by an invisible hand, making his breath suffocated.

Jiang Baiyan pursed his lips slightly.

Whenever Shi Dai saw him using a sword, she would always smile and praise him. Jiang Baiyan went from indifference and rejection at first to gradually getting used to it.

When being praised by her with a smile became a habit, he almost forgot that Shi Dai never hesitated to praise all kinds of people.

Not to him alone.

Never.

Curling his fingertips slightly, Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes wordlessly.
Wherever she looked, she happened to glance at the black-clothed ranger not far away, with an interesting and novel expression, and her almond-shaped eyes were slightly curved.

I am really interested, whether in swordsmanship or people.
This reminded him of the plot hints given by the painting.

[Miss Wei Ling is very interested in Han Zong.Seeing this, my heart felt sour and jealousy was brewing. Since I had no identity, I couldn't express it openly, so I could only follow the young lady closely to protect her. 】

"Next, am I going to talk to him?"
Shi Dai was full of energy and raised her chin with determination: "Don't worry, I'll hold him back. You can search Han Zong's guest room."

"be careful."
Shen Liushuang smiled and said softly: "If Han Zong offends you, just tell me."

Her fists were always at the ready.

"Isn't there Mr. Jiang?"
Liu Rutang quickly looked at him: "Master Jiang will protect Dai Dai, right?"

Be sure to strive for success!Can't be compared!
Jiang Baiyan looked as usual and drank a cup of tea: "Yes."

The cold liquid entered his throat, making him frown slightly.

A strong sourness sweeps over the tip of the tongue, and the taste is indescribable——
What he drank just now was not the hot tea, but the half cup of vinegar that Jiang Baiyan poured out when the other three looked at Han Zong.

They were sitting in the lobby of the inn, and each wooden table had condiments to enhance the flavor.

Jiang Baiyan didn't like spicy food, so when he took the vinegar into his mouth, he coughed slightly due to the irritation. It affected the knife wound on his shoulder, and the stinging pain spread widely.

Although the sourness on the tip of the tongue is strong, it is far less astringent than the astringency in the chest.It was like being pricked by a sharp needle and then covered with airtight cotton.
He was so distraught that he had no outlet.

Jiang Baiyan had no expression on his face, swallowed the remaining vinegar water in the cup, and placed his right palm on his heart.

Deceiving.
Speaking of jealousy, the feeling is obviously different.
