Chapter 99: Fengshui Town, Meet Again
Gu Jiang shook his head and refused, "No, we are used to traveling on our own. Besides, I am afraid that it will cause trouble to you."

Ji Rufeng seemed to have thought of something, "Okay, then everyone take care of yourselves, we will meet again if we are lucky."

Watching them walk away, Ji Rufeng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Big brother!"

The three of them were shocked, "Brother, are you okay? Did you suffer internal injuries?"

Ji Rufeng shook his head. "It's okay. I just had a stream of blood stuck in my throat. Now that I've spit it out, I feel much better. It's not an internal injury."

"Ruhua, are you okay?"

Ji Ruhua should have been more seriously injured than them, but he didn't say a word, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Ji Ruhua shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Fortunately, I won't die."

"I should have asked Miss Yue to sell us a pill to treat internal injuries." Ji Ruxue was a little annoyed. "Mo Xuan's injuries were more serious than my second brother's. He took one pill and he was fine. If my second brother had taken it, he would be alive and well again."

Ji Ruhua twitched his lips and said, "Forget about being so lively. I, your brother, still have to save face."

Ji Ruxue stuck out her tongue.

The four of them returned to where the carriage was, "Where are those people?"

When Ji Rufeng came back, he found that most of the people nearby had left, even Lan Yue and his companions' carriage was gone.

Uncle Li replied, "Master, they left before us."

"There is no time to lose, let's catch up."

The next county town was not far away. They hurried and finally arrived at Fengshui Town when the sun set.

Fengshui Town, a county town that is neither big nor small.

The people here are very superstitious and are very hospitable to outsiders.

Lan Yue and her friends found an inn and decided to stay there for one night before leaving.

After they washed up, they went downstairs to eat.

There were people sitting around.

They didn't expect that someone would come to the inn to eat late at night.

"Oh, I'm so tired. I've walked for such a long time. I can finally take a rest."

A familiar voice sounded, and Lan Yue knew it was Nangong Mu and the others without even looking.

I didn't expect that these people could walk here on foot. I really admire them.

"Waiter, give me four bowls of rice, one serving of braised pork, lotus root and pig's trotter soup, and three roasted chickens."

The waiter came forward enthusiastically, wrote down the dishes the customer wanted, and turned into the kitchen.

"Fortunately, we still have some money left, otherwise we would have to sleep on the streets."

When Nangong Mu thought of the person who saved them, he regretted why he didn't save a little more money at that time. On the road, in order to hurry on their way, they borrowed carriages from many people and spent a lot of money along the way. They didn't know if they could afford a carriage tomorrow.

"Next time, when you go out to play, you still have to have someone follow you," Li Muwan said.

She didn't want to go through this situation again, it was too embarrassing.

Others, silence.

This time, they didn't think it through, but next time, they will definitely not make the same mistake.

Soon, the waiter brought the food.

After Lan Yue and the others finished their meal, they rested for a while before paying and going back to sleep.
-
night.

A scream broke the silence of the night.

Lan Yue quickly changed her clothes, braided her hair into a side braid, and walked out of the room.

"Are you guys okay?"

Liu and the others shook their heads. "The sound seems to be coming from the street."

"You guys go sit downstairs in the dining area. No matter what noise you hear, don't leave the inn." Lan Yue went downstairs with them. There were quite a few people gathered downstairs, including Nangong Mu and his group, the four people from the Ji family, and Gu Jiang and the others.

Lan Yue didn't expect to meet so many old acquaintances in this inn.

Others also discovered Lan Yue and the others.

However, Nangong Mu, Gu Jiang and others had never seen Lan Yue’s true face, so they could not recognize that Lan Yue was the person who saved them.

When Ji Ruxue saw Lan Yue, she snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Lan Yue naturally heard Ji Ruxue's cold snort, but she ignored it.

"Just sit there and don't be curious."

Nanyu didn't understand, "Sister Lanyue, why can't I be curious?"

Gu Xue blinked, she didn’t understand either.

"Because curiosity kills the cat." Lan Yue touched the two people's heads, "Remember, don't leave the inn unless the inn is unsafe."

The owner and the clerk of the inn were all here, but they didn't seem too panicked. Perhaps they were used to it?
"Everyone, please be patient." The boss stood up. He was a chubby, middle-aged man, about 1.65 meters tall.

Everyone was instantly excited when they saw the boss come out.

"Boss, what's going on? Isn't your county safe?"

"Yeah, we felt something was a little weird when we first entered the city. I didn't expect your county town to be so unsafe!"

"Isn't it something? Aren't you superstitious...and believe in those things?"

Everyone asked the innkeeper at once.

The innkeeper stroked his moustache and then raised his hand to silence them.

Everyone fell silent for a moment and looked at the innkeeper quietly.

They want to see how the boss will explain it to them.

"There is a reason why our county is called Fengshui Town..."

The boss talked incessantly about a bunch of legends about Feng Shui Town, and everyone was confused.

"So, every year on the night of April 15th, there will be cases of young women disappearing here?"

"Doesn't the county magistrate here care?"

"They've been investigating for so many years, and they still haven't figured out who it is?"

"You are just feudal and superstitious. This is obviously man-made!"

Lan Yue couldn't help but look at the young man in the crowd. Good boy, you revealed the secret.

Fengshui Town, the former mayor was a Fengshui master. He observed the sky at night and calculated with his fingers. He concluded that if Fengshui Town wanted good weather and peace for the country and the people, it would have to sacrifice a young, newly-educated woman to the mountain god. In this way, their Fengshui town would have good weather and the people would live a good life.

This tradition continued until ten years ago, when an unmarried couple broke it because the woman refused to offer sacrifice and eloped with her fiancé.

As soon as they eloped, one month after they eloped, the people in Fengshui Town died inexplicably or were possessed by evil spirits.

The people are panicking!
They were at a loss and racked their brains before finally coming up with a remedy: sacrifice ten young women at once.

It was this approach that allowed them to live safely for more than ten years.

However, because there were not many young women to begin with, the number of women they offered sacrifices each year was reduced from ten to one. It was this practice that once again put them in crisis.

Lan Yue carefully pondered the story her boss told her. As a modern person, she traveled through time and space to a common Jianghu story. She was sure that the strange events that happened in this Fengshui town must be caused by someone behind the scenes. As for why they did this...

Lan Yue was too lazy to think about it.

She should just eat the melon seriously!

　Guys, vote!
