Chapter 181 The Show Begins

"Hi, guest! Should I go to the hotel or stay in the hotel?"

The young shopkeeper raised his hand and put the plate of meat into the cabinet. He ignored the old poor man's eyes and went straight to the door of the inn to greet him.

"The shopkeeper, please arrange a good guest room."

It was the tall figure who spoke. He had already walked into the store and reached out to take off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, revealing a gray suit. It was Liang Yan who had been "travelling" all the way here. And the short figure next to him was naturally Li Xiaosong.

"Okay, please, sir!" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and asked a waiter to lead the horse for Liang Yan, and then he personally led the way.

"Are you two guests here to visit Xiling Mountain? Hey, what a coincidence. The sun was still shining brightly this morning, but it just started raining. You, guests, will rest here for a day. , I guarantee it will be a sunny day when you wake up tomorrow morning, which will not delay your hiking trip!"

The shopkeeper was obviously a chatterbox and kept chattering all the way. Liang Yan followed him to the second floor and suddenly interrupted and asked, "Shopkeeper, I think your business is not going well. Most of the guest rooms are empty."

"Hehe, the guest officer is laughing. This place is remote and desolate. Although the scenery is good, the number of people coming and going is still small."

"Oh, that's it!" Liang Yan nodded, suddenly changed the subject, and pointed to a few rooms on the opposite side of the corridor and said: "The rooms there are in good locations, but the doors are closed. Are there people living in them? "

The young shopkeeper looked in the direction of his finger, his expression suddenly changed, and he whispered: "I'm sorry, sir. Someone has already taken up residence there. Your guest room is here, please come with me."

He seemed unwilling to talk more about this topic, but quickly led Liang Yan to another wing.

"If you, our guest, need anything, just ring the bell at the door and a waiter will come up to greet you."

"good!"

Liang Yan nodded, reached out and took out some broken silver from his waist, and handed it into his hand. The shopkeeper immediately smiled happily after receiving the money, and after being polite to the two of them, he happily went downstairs.

As soon as Liang Yan closed the door of the guest room, he heard Li Xiaosong's dissatisfied voice behind him muttering:

"We have been walking for five or six days. Seeing that Xiling Mountain is right in front of us, why not just go up the mountain?"

"Don't forget, we are tourists now. How can any tourist brave the heavy rain to go up the mountain?" Liang Yan said with a chuckle.

After hearing this, Li Xiaosong curled his lips helplessly and said, "Looking at how much you paid attention to the guest room over there just now, did you discover something?"

"Yes, there are monks over there who are breathing, and their realms are not low. They are probably above the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the highest ones have even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining."

"What? The monks appearing near Xiling Mountain now are more suspicious. Could they be the demonic monks who came to besiege, or the monks from the other two factions who came to support?"

"This is still unknown." Liang Yan seemed to be interested, and said to Li Xiaosong: "You stay in the room tonight, and I will go find out their truth."

"What, when it comes to being sneaky, you are really good at it." Li Xiaosong muttered with some dissatisfaction.

That night, a black shadow jumped out of the window on the second floor of the "Ye Lai Lai Inn", climbed lightly on the wall for a while, and then rushed into an empty room.

This dark figure was naturally Liang Yan. He did not choose to snoop on the roof or outside the windows of the monks, because he was afraid of being discovered and ruining his success, so he chose an unoccupied guest room next to them.

At this moment, the Hunhuang Gong was running silently in his body, secretly increasing his six senses to the extreme. He only heard someone in the next room say:

"Young Master, is this really the thing in the Sword Forging Pavilion that you have mobilized so much?"

"You shouldn't ask. Don't ask too much. Whatever the young master orders, I will do it." An old voice replied leisurely.

"That's true, but the young master secretly used many methods and spent a lot of effort this time. Shouldn't it just be for a groundless piece of news?"

"Hu Si, pay attention to your identity!" The old voice suddenly became serious.

"Excuse me, Lao Yan. It was my subordinate who overstepped my bounds." Hu Si said quickly.

"It's good that you know. If it hadn't been for the young master's protection, we would have died long ago. From then on, this life belongs to the young master. Whatever he orders, we will carry out it. We must not speculate on him. intention of."

"What Lao Yan taught me is that Hu Si has learned his crime!"

"Well." The old man in the room seemed quite satisfied and said calmly: "Actually, in addition to the task of attacking the Jiangjian Pavilion this time, the young master also gave us a task. Hu San, Hu Si, come and take a look at this. "

"Yes!" Two voices sounded at the same time.

Liang Yan frowned slightly. It turned out that there was a third monk in the room, but this Hu San seemed to be good at hiding, so he didn't even notice it.

"Lao Yan, who is this person in the portrait?" Hu Si said with some uncertainty.

"Haha, you just need to know clearly. If we encounter him in a decisive battle, you need to find a way to lure him there." Yan Lao said, his voice getting lower and lower, and in the end even Liang Yan couldn't hear clearly.

Just as he was secretly guessing, Hu three and Hu four had already replied in unison: "I understand!"

After a while, Hu Si spoke again: "Actually, I have always been confused in my heart. How can there be so many demonic people in Yue country who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the young master?"

"Haha." Mr. Yan said with a smile: "Everyone in the world is seeking gain. If you put on a mask, you are a member of the devil's path. If you take off the mask, how do you know who he is?"

"What? What Yan Lao means"

"Young Master planned strategies to drive them away. Many of the monks who besieged Zhujian Pavilion this time were not from the Yue Kingdom at all. Moreover, there were not only ghosts, Gu, and corpses, but also authentic Taoists and Confucianists. So I put on a mask and transformed into a demon sect because Zhujiange had a grudge against the Yue Kingdom demon sect in the past, so it was just a way to hide from others."

"So that's it, the young master is really scheming!" Hu Si sighed.

He was surprised in his heart, but he didn't know that Liang Yan, who was separated by a wall, was even more surprised.

"It turns out that the so-called 'Demon Gate sieges the Sword-casting Pavilion' is not caused by the dispute between the Pavilion Master Huang Potian and the Demonic Way of Yue Kingdom in the past, as mentioned in the Yungang Sect's task column, but an out-and-out conspiracy. , a good show planned by others!"

Just as his mind was wandering, he suddenly heard a knock on the door next door. The discussion in the room suddenly stopped. After a while, there was only a "squeak" sound, the wooden door was opened, and then a clear and sweet female voice came:

"How long are you going to stay here? I don't have the spare time to keep you company."

The voice sounded familiar. Liang Yan's mind turned and he suddenly thought of someone.

"is her!"
