Chapter 386: Strange Inn, Bloody Moonlight

Looking at the people who were talking, Ye Jianxing frowned slightly with a serious expression, and turned his head to look in the direction from which they came.

The thick fog that was so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of you became much thinner at this time, and it seemed that you could pass through it without any obstacles.

He wanted to return temporarily and report the situation here to the captain.

Otherwise, he would not choose to gather here.

However, if he just reported the current situation, it seemed too pale. With such news, it would be difficult for him to be promoted to the position of general flag.

After some contemplation, Ye Jianxing made up his mind and ordered:

"Find a place to rest temporarily. Tomorrow, we will know whether we have returned to the past."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then surrounded Ye Jianxing and walked towards a small town in the distance.

Inside an inn.

"Boss, come out quickly. Your inn is under the command of the Jinyiwei today."

"Hey, hey, I'm here, I'm here."

The innkeeper couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw a group of Jinyiwei rushing into the inn.

These damned people.

However, he could only greet them with a smile.

Looking at the boss who was forcing a smile on his face, Ye Jianxing glanced at him and reached into his arms.

When he touched one of the warm balls, he paused slightly and frowned.

What is this? Does he have such a thing? Then when did he put it in his arms?

But now is not the time to take it out for inspection.

With a slight movement of his palm, Ye Jianxing had already taken out a silver ingot from his arms and gently threw it to the innkeeper.

"This is."

The innkeeper hurriedly caught the silver and weighed it instinctively.

Good guy, this is at least fifteen or sixteen taels.

Immediately, the innkeeper looked at Ye Jianxing somewhat at a loss.

"This is the money for the hotel. Bring us some good wine and food."

"Ah, this, this, this, how can this be done? How can this be done?

It is our honor that you can stay in our inn. How dare we accept any silver?"

As he said that, the innkeeper quickly stepped forward and prepared to return the silver to Ye Jianxing.

"No need, just take it!"

Ye Jianxing glanced at the innkeeper and said in a cold tone.

"Uh, this."

The innkeeper was still a little hesitant.

"Why so much nonsense, our Xiaoqi asked you to take it, so just take it."

While the innkeeper was hesitating, a person following Ye Jianxing had already pushed him impatiently.

The innkeeper staggered and could only smile and nod in response.

"Yes, yes, then I would like to thank you for the reward.

Waiter, quickly notify the kitchen to bring up the good wine and food."

Looking at the innkeeper who returned to the counter, Ye Jianxing's eyes flickered.

Ye Jianxing was extremely vigilant about the people and things here.

Otherwise, as a small flag of the Jinyiwei, when would he have to pay for meals and accommodation in an ordinary inn?

Soon, the wine and food were brought up continuously.

Looking at the delicious and tempting food in front of him, as well as the clear and mellow wine, Ye Jianxing raised his eyebrows, but was reluctant to pick up his chopsticks.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the Jinyiwei, even though they had been salivating for a long time, could only sit quietly and stare at Ye Jianxing, waiting for his order.

Scanning the salivating people one by one, Ye Jianxing frowned and thought, but he really couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only speak in the end.

"Let's start eating!"

"Yes!"

Instantly, everyone began to eat and drink, and kept cheering loudly.

"Good wine!"

"Good food!"

They felt that the food and wine in their mouths were simply heavenly delicacies.

After swallowing, it seemed that there was a special power flowing through the body, and the internal Qi seemed to increase a little, and the flow was smoother.

This, this, this.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Then, everyone lowered their heads with ecstasy and ate lavishly.

Not to mention the delicious food and wine, they would not let go of the opportunity to improve their cultivation.

Unexpectedly, this small inn actually had such good things.

Looking at the performance of everyone, Ye Jianxing frowned, reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him, and put it to the tip of his nose to sniff it.

A clear and mellow smell of wine instantly filled the nose, heart and lungs, and a warm breath flowed through the body, and the circulation of the internal Qi immediately increased by one point.

Ye Jianxing's face changed involuntarily. This is really a peerless wine.

However

Ye Jianxing looked around and found that the inn was indeed quite large. It could be said to be the largest inn in the town, which could accommodate more than a hundred people.

However, they should never make such wine and food.

If they really had such ability, they would definitely be the guests of honor of all the major forces, and even be invited to the imperial kitchen of the palace.

Even more, they might become a force of their own and become the object of all the major forces' competition for friendship.

Even the royal family should be treated with courtesy.

Then, the situation is very obvious. There must be something wrong with this inn, the innkeeper and the back kitchen.

Thinking of this, Ye Jianxing was about to stop everyone.

"You."

However, as soon as Ye Jianxing opened his mouth, he felt a chill instantly enveloped his heart.

I saw that everyone who was immersed in eating suddenly raised their heads, staring at him with unblinking eyes, empty and indifferent.

Even the whole world seemed to have fallen silent.

"Gudong!"

Even though he had already reached the innate realm, Ye Jianxing was still under the gaze of everyone and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Ye Jianxing secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and forced himself to smile.

"You should eat more, we have a mission tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions instantly became energetic, and they started laughing one after another.

"Hahaha, that's what Xiaoqi said"

"Thank you, Lord Xiaoqi"

"Hehe, after we go back this time, our Ye Xiaoqi will be promoted to the chief banner."

"indeed!"

"When the time comes, Lord General Banner, please don't forget your brothers."

"Haha. How could it be? No matter when, I will never forget my brothers."

Looking at the people who had recovered, Ye Jianxing could only respond with a chuckle as usual.

Afterwards, everyone started eating and drinking again. Only Ye Jianxing held the wine glass and looked at everyone with deep eyes, and countless thoughts came to his mind.

Is it a problem with the food and wine?

Or earlier?

Was it during the previous exploration of the news?

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, someone finally noticed something strange about Ye Jianxing and couldn't help but speak.

"Master Xiaoqi, are the food and wine not to your liking?"

After the words fell, everyone looked together again. Although it was not as empty and indifferent as before, it still made Ye Jianxing feel a lot of pressure.

"Oh, I was thinking about the weirdness here, but I didn't have much appetite for the moment."

Facing the glare of everyone, Ye Jianxing casually found an excuse to deal with it.

Fortunately, the man just asked casually. After Ye Jianxing answered, he ignored it and joined the others to eat and drink again.

By the time the meal was over and the lanterns were on, Ye Jianxing felt unbearably hungry.

Originally, with his innate realm of cultivation, there would be no problem at all if he didn't eat for three to five days.

However, he didn't know whether it was because the food and wine in front of him were too tempting, or because this place was special, but he felt hungry for most of the day.

But even so, Ye Jianxing had no intention of using his chopsticks. Instead, he secretly circulated his inner energy and suppressed the hunger in his belly.

Anyway, they can return after finding enough information at noon tomorrow.

Afterwards, Ye Jianxing and others went to the guest room to rest under the personal guidance of the innkeeper.

As the leader of the team, Ye Jianxing and Xiaoqi naturally had a room to themselves, and they were in the Tianzihao upper room on the third floor.

As for the others, except for some corps commanders and chiefs, two or three people live in the Tianzi Shangfang, the others all have ordinary rooms, and even three or five people per room.

Ye Jianxing endured hunger and lay on the bed with his hands on his pillow, unable to sleep for a long time.

All the things he saw and heard that day, as well as the weird behaviors of his subordinates, were going over and over in his mind.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find any clues.

"~,~!"

It wasn't until the sound of one long, two short and three more louder sounds that Ye Jianxing fell asleep in a daze.

However, just as he fell asleep, a burst of noise came from downstairs.

"Huh~!"

Ye Jianxing woke up instantly, opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately turned over and sat up.

His ears twitched slightly, ready to listen carefully to what was going on downstairs.

However, before he could hear clearly, he heard footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

"Sir, it's bad, a brother is missing."

"Hmm~?"

Ye Jianxing frowned slightly, and in a flash, he came to the door and quickly opened it.

"what happened?"

"have no idea!"

"have no idea?"

The visitor smiled bitterly and nodded, quickly explaining what happened.

“Well, there was a brother downstairs who had to urinate urgently at night, then left the house to look for the latrine, and never came back.

The brothers in the house noticed something was wrong, and when they went out to check, they discovered that they were missing.

And it’s not just them, the innkeeper, the chef, the waiter, etc. are all missing.”

Hearing this, Ye Jianxing couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

However, on the surface, he remained calm. Instead, he came to lead the way and hurried downstairs.

After arriving at the inn lobby, more than a dozen people had already arrived.

Afterwards, more people came one after another.

When no one came again, everyone counted and found that there were only thirty-two people, a total of eighteen people were missing.

Looking at the more than thirty people present, Ye Jianxing's face was extremely gloomy.

Although in the past, I felt that their performance was somewhat inappropriate.

However, he would not allow them to stay here.

"Looking for them, I have to dig three feet into the ground to find them for me."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, and then quickly searched the inn.

However, no matter how many people searched every corner, no one could be found.

Instead, after everyone reunited, after some counting, they discovered that five people were missing again.

At this moment, everyone was completely panicked.

"How is this going?"

"The shopkeeper and the waiter all seem to be missing."

"What the hell is this place?"

"A ghost place?"

The moment the person finished speaking, everyone who was noisily discussing couldn't help but immediately stopped talking and looked at each other with ugly expressions.

It seems that Senhu-sama once said that where the sun fragments fall, some strange places will be formed and some strange phenomena will occur.

Could it be that this is the situation mentioned?

Are there really ghosts?

After scanning the crowd, Ye Jianxing spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay, don't think too much.

Since the inn didn't find anything, let's go outside to see the situation.

Also, work in groups and don’t get separated. "

"yes!"

Everyone responded in a deep voice, following Ye Jianxing towards the outside of the inn with heavy hearts.

"Clang, squeak!"

As the door opened, everyone finally saw the outside scene.

The hazy blood-colored moonlight fell, making everything appear dark red. The two white paper lanterns in front of the restaurant opposite were both covered in a layer of red.

If you don't look carefully, they really look like two red lanterns.

Well, wait.

Bloody moonlight.

white paper lantern

In an instant, everyone stopped and even couldn't help but take two steps back.

This is

"How can it be?"

"When it's clear daylight, the red lantern hanging opposite is okay?"

"Fuck, I knew something wasn't right here."

"Hey, who doesn't know this? Aren't we here just to investigate the situation here?"

"Okay, let's not argue for now. Let's explore the outside world first."

After stopping everyone's quarrel, Ye Jianxing cautiously came to the door of the inn and stuck the embroidered spring knife in his hand out of the door, exposing it to the bloody moonlight.

After a while, Ye Jianxing took back the Xiuchun knife.

He lowered his head and looked carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, this is not the time to relax yet.

"Huh~!"

Taking a deep breath secretly, Ye Jianxing took a step forward again. The true energy in his body circulated rapidly, and he stretched his palm forward little by little, slowly touching the bloody moonlight.

Instantly, a cold feeling surged into my heart.

The moonlight actually gave him a cold feeling.

Involuntarily, Ye Jianxing quickly retracted his palm.

After carefully sensing and confirming that there was nothing else going on, I was slightly relieved.

Then, Ye Jianxing stretched out his palm again, letting the bloody moonlight reflect his palm into blood red, and a piece of coldness soaked into the skin. Even the innate Qi could not stop it.

However, that was all it was, and it did not cause other bad changes.

Seeing this, Ye Jianxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he also knew that the cold breath that invaded the skin was not a good thing.

However, at least it did not cause changes immediately.

and

Ye Jianxing retracted his palm, and the true energy in his body circulated. The cold air quickly dissipated. On the contrary, the true energy in his body seemed to suddenly become a little purer.

You don't need to think about it to know that this must be a change caused by the cold breath.

This made Ye Jianxing a little surprised. He didn't expect that the bloody moonlight from the outside world could have such an effect, but he didn't know if it would have any sequelae. (End of chapter)
