Chapter 140 Six

"Crack, crack, crack..." Xiang Xiaotian stepped forward and slammed on the door. After a long time, the wooden lattice on the door of the inn was gently pulled open, revealing a yellow face behind the door. The shriveled and thin face of a colorless old man.

"Ah, my mother! Old man, you are a man or a ghost, can't you try to scare Mr. Xiang to death?" Xiang Xiaotian's exclamation shocked Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran behind him.

The old man behind the door said gloomyly: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Shangguan Yanran pointed to the wooden sign hanging in front of the house and said word by word: "Ancient... home... guest... inn, uncle, isn't this an inn? We saw that the red light is on here, so of course you are here to stay. .”

Hearing Shangguan Yanran's words, the old man's gray and turbid eyes suddenly flashed a gleam, and he shouted inexplicably: "Xianglan, Xianglan..., are you back?" When he was wearing a crimson Taoist robe, he murmured dejectedly in his wound: "It's not Pandan, it's not Pandan..., you all go away."

Xiang Xiaotian was confused by the old man's nagging, turned his head and said to Chen Mengsheng: "Brother, I think this old man is probably out of his mind, we'd better find another place to go. Save this old man from scaring you." If you are dead, just find a shelter from the wind to deal with it overnight, or even find a bridge hole to make do with it."

It didn't matter to Chen Mengsheng to sleep on the street, but he didn't want Shangguan Yanran to suffer along with him, so he waved his hands and said, "Old man, we only want to stay overnight in the middle of the night, and we will leave tomorrow, so please make it easier for me."

The old man said indifferently: "The inn here is no longer in business, you can go." As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the wooden lattice on the door.

Xiang Xiaotian scolded angrily: "What kind of bastard, it's not that he won't give him money, how can there be anyone in the world who does business like this!"

"Brother Xiang, I think that uncle seems to have something to hide. Just now when he called me Xianglan, his expression was not contrived. Why don't we go in and investigate to see what's going on?" Shangguan Yanran looked Look at the red lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate.

Before Chen Mengsheng could open his mouth, Xiang Xiaotian continued, "Girl, good idea. Anyway, let's go in and find out when we are free. If this is a black shop, we will burn down the bird shop, which is doing justice for the heavens." "Xiang Xiaotian took two steps back, and with a sudden force, he rushed forward and kicked the stone lion in front of the door, and jumped into the courtyard wall of the inn with both hands on the top of the wall.

Shangguan Yanran said with a playful smile: "Senior brother, please go first."

Chen Mengsheng shook his head and sighed: "The three of us are going to be like Xiao Xiaoli, alas!"

Shangguan Yanran smiled lightly and followed Chen Mengsheng into the Gujia Inn. There was a smell of smoke from burning paper in the courtyard wall of the inn.The two-storey inn is pitch black with no lights, and the silence is palpitating.

Xiang Xiaotian said in a low voice: "Brother, the old man didn't know how to kung fu, so he disappeared, and there was no light in the room. This inn is probably a black shop."

Chen Mengsheng looked around and said: "The black shop doesn't look like it, it should be a ghost shop. Big brother, look at the paper money burned on the corner of the wall here. It's really against the norm."

Xiang Xiaotian went to the corner, knelt down and probed with his hands: "Brother, it's really unusual. There are some straw paper talismans scattered along the corner of the wall. What is the old man trying to do?"

Chen Mengsheng flicked the paper talisman on the ground with his fingers and said: "This is a guide flag and a spirit summoning talisman. Judging from this, the person who wrote the talisman wanted to attract ghosts and summon the soul. And each talisman is different. It should attract more than just souls." A person, don't know what the purpose of the person under the talisman is?"

Shangguan Yanran asked: "Brother, at the gate of the ghost shop, there are indeed people who use red lights to guide the way to attract living souls to wake up the dead. Father also told me before that the common people use this method to summon souls, but I don't know the result. "

Xiang Xiaotian pulled up Chen Mengsheng who was squatting and said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter if he is a ghost shop or a black shop, let's go in and find out. If it is a disaster, we will take him away."

Chen Mengsheng pressed his hand against the palm of the wooden door, and the "squeaky" door hinge was slowly pushed open, and the musty smell rushed to the nose.You can't see your fingers in the house, but the three people can see the furnishings in the house in the dark.A layer of dust accumulated on the long tent, and cobwebs hung in every corner.There were three or four overturned tables, chairs and benches in the room, and the pots and pans were scattered all over the floor.

Chen Mengsheng frowned and said: "It seems that there was a catastrophe here not long ago, let's go upstairs and have a look." Xiang Xiaotian and Shangguan Yanran couldn't help being surprised, and followed Chen Mengsheng up the creaking wooden ladder ...

After the wooden ladder reached the second floor, he saw four small rooms divided into squares. As soon as Chen Mengsheng opened the door of the room closest to the wooden ladder, he heard a sneer of "hehehe" coming from inside...

With a yell, Xiang Xiaotian took off the overlord bow on his back and drew the arrow, pointing the sharp arrow at the corner behind the door and shouting sharply: "Are you a man or a ghost, how dare you scare you, Mr. Xiang, here!"

Chen Mengsheng leaned forward and pressed Xiang Xiaotian's overlord bow with his front hand: "Brother, don't be reckless, there is a person inside."

There was a flash of light behind the three of them, and the old man who had seen outside the inn before was holding an oil lamp and scolding: "Why are you three again, who told you to come in. Get out, get out, there is no place here. welcome."

With the light of the old man's oil lamp, Shangguan Yanran finally saw clearly that a forty-year-old woman was sitting in the corner of the room, like a wooden sculpture made of clay.His eyes were dull, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were filthy.Except for the occasional sneer, the woman didn't react at all.

Chen Mengsheng stepped forward and bowed and said: "Old man, we have no malicious intentions and only came in to find out because we were deceived by the guide flag in your courtyard. Please don't blame me."

After hearing this, the old man became even more furious, and cursed: "What are you looking at, have you seen enough? It's all you practitioners who ruined my good home!"

Xiang Xiaotian stared and said: "Old man, what are you talking about? Why did we ruin your house when we didn't know each other?"

The old man was trembling with anger from Xiang Xiaotian's words, he raised the oil lamp in his hand and threw it at Xiang Xiaotian.The old man was so angry that the oil lamp flew away and he regretted it. The second-story wooden house is not to mention a fragile oil lamp. Even a tiny spark can turn the house into ashes...

Said that it was too late, Chen Mengsheng rushed up and used the thousand-handed movement of the Great Compassion Mantra to catch the burning oil lamp that was still churning in the air like lightning. The oil in the oil cup was caught by Chen Mengsheng before it hit the ground. into the oil cup.All the people present except the woman in the room were startled by Chen Mengsheng's figure-like movement, the old man blurted out and asked, "Who are you?"

Xiang Xiaotian laughed and said: "Hehe, the old man opened your eyes today, my brother and this Shangguan girl are both gods..."

"Bah..." The old man didn't wait for Xiang Xiaotian to finish speaking, and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm in Xiang Xiaotian's face.Cursed: "It's a fairy again, I'll go to your grandma!"

Xiang Xiaotian bowed his head and dodged, the thick phlegm brushed past his face.Xiang Xiaotian's fiery temper has never been so useless, he clenched his fists tightly, spit fire from his eyes and threw himself to hit the old man, luckily Chen Mengsheng caught him.Xiang Xiaotian couldn't help shouting: "This old man is unreasonable, brother, don't pull me. If I don't teach this old man a lesson today, I really can't swallow this breath. I have already given him everywhere, but he is still kicking!" The nose is on the face..."

Shangguan Yanran also came over and persuaded: "Brother Xiang, there must be a reason for that uncle." The old man was startled by Xiang Xiaotian's roar and did not dare to say anything rude.

Chen Mengsheng held the oil lamp and said bluntly: "Old man, I don't know why you treat us like this, but I can tell you that the old woman has the disease of losing her mind and leaving her soul."

The old man said coldly: "Isn't my old lady's illness caused by the monks of the Golden Buddha Temple? You two are also practitioners and those monks are a nest of snakes and rats. Get out of here."

Chen Mengsheng sighed and said, "Huh? It's the Golden Buddha Temple again? It's not difficult for the old man to ask us to leave here. I wonder if the old man wants your wife to return to normal?"

"Hmph, it's you Taoists who only have a mouth to deceive us! If you cheated on money, you also cheated my son. The monks at the Golden Buddha Temple will burn him to death in three days..." The old man was so excited that his veins bulged.Chen Mengsheng was also stunned for a while, muttering something in his mouth and blowing a green breath towards the old woman sitting in the corner...

After the old woman in the corner was angry, she beat her chest and cried, "Old man, we are the ones who killed Miss Xianglan, we are sorry for her..." The old man also ran to the old woman with a bitter face. Hug my head and cry.

The three of Chen Mengsheng were so confused by their crying, Xiang Xiaotian poked Chen Mengsheng's arm with his sharp eyes and pointed towards the small room opposite.Chen Mengsheng looked in the direction Xiang Xiaotian pointed, only to see that the small room was full of paper figurines, and the biggest paper figurine was the size of a real person, wearing a blue satin jacket, lying quietly on the paper figurines with thick eyebrows and big eyes. pile...

There are only four small rooms on the second floor, and the wooden door of the last room is closed, so I don't know what's inside.After the old couple finished crying, they rushed to Chen Mengsheng one after another. The old woman bowed down and begged: "Master, please save my Xianglan! My old lady's life is not a pity, but we owe the girl a life!"

Chen Mengsheng was baffled by what the old woman said, so he helped her up and said, "Auntie, what's going on?"

The old man said dejectedly: "It's all my fault. It's my fault. In the end, I killed the girl alive. Even if I lure the soul of the old lady and Miss Xianglan every day, it won't help. I offended the three of you because of my lack of eyesight." , Master, please follow me..."

Chen Mengsheng followed the old man to the last room in a daze, and the old man pushed open the door tremblingly.Chen Mengsheng picked up the oil lamp and caught a glimpse of a coffin of red lacquered golden nanmu...
