Chapter 98 The Weird Inn (5000 words)
The night is black and windy, and the moonlight is cold.

The night is so thick that it is like a hand representing death, holding the pen of the book of life and death, painting everything in the haze like ink, so the solemn night forms a picture of death.

It was gray and black.

Only the drops of bright red blood dripping from the wound on the neck of the wanted criminal nailed to the wall became the most shocking color in this gray-black world.

Until, amidst the echo of gentle footsteps, a gray figure slowly walked into the picture scroll, replacing the dazzling blood, becoming the thickest cold outside the Banquan Road Inn.

The cold seemed to freeze the dripping blood for a moment, and even made the old man at the door of the inn shrink his eyes tightly, looking at the approaching figure.

With black hair shawl, a slender figure with a tall and straight, indifferent eyes and a sharp face, like a blade that is slowly being unsheathed.

It was Xu Qing.

He looked calm, and under the gaze of the old man on Banquan Road, he walked to the corpse step by step, took off the other's leather bag, and pulled out the dagger expressionlessly. He kicked slightly with his right foot.

Immediately, the corpse fell directly at the old man's feet.

The old man's face was gloomy, but there was a sound of wind behind him, and the head of the big snake spread out in a whistling manner. The moment it saw Xu Qing, its eyes were clearly shining.

"Grumbling."

"Please eat." Xu Qing glanced at the big snake and said lightly.

The big snake was very happy, swallowed it in one gulp, and nodded at Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, don't go too far!" The old man on Banquan Road stared at Xu Qing, and said coldly.

Xu Qing also looked at the old man, but swung his right hand violently, and immediately the dagger in his hand shot towards the distance, breaking through the wind, and there was a sharp whistling sound, which replaced the scream, and was nailed to another one facing here. Between the eyebrows of the wanted criminal who came galloping.

The huge force caused the person's skull to shatter, and red and white fell to the room at the same time, and his body was also pushed back two feet by the impact, and landed heavily with a bang.

Watching this scene, the old man's brows twitched. He felt that Xu Qing in front of him seemed to be stronger than when he was on Sea Lizard Island, and his heart suddenly became worried.

"What are you going to do!" The old man glared at Xu Qing, his face was bulging, and a sense of danger emerged from him, and ropes came out of nowhere and fell down.

But the moment they appeared, a fiery force erupted on Xu Qing's body, forming a high temperature and sweeping towards the surroundings. Suddenly, the ropes bent one after another, and they dared not approach.

At this moment, a scream came from not far away.

That was the third wanted criminal who came here. Just getting close to this place, he was covered in black and black, and died of poisoning.

Xu Qing ignored the dead wanted criminal, looking at the old man's neck at this moment, weighing in his heart whether he could kill him, his breath gradually became colder and colder.

The old man stared at Xu Qing, feeling depressed. He naturally knew the purpose of the other party's coming here, but he was really distressed when he gave away thousands of spirit stones, so he just talked and asked. .

But Xu Qing didn't say a word, which made him understand that it was useless to speak, especially at this moment, the aura on the other party's body was already murderous, which made the old man's heart thump, and the crisis of life and death emerged strongly.

"Xu Qingyu, don't be impulsive, I have a trump card!! The trump card is this inn. It just looks like an inn, but it is actually weird. It is sleeping now. Once it wakes up, the first peak of the Seven Blood Pupils will come to suppress it immediately. Then you will also It's over!!"

The old man spoke very fast, and the entire inn shook violently, and a terrifying wave emanated from the tables, chairs, and all the bricks and tiles in the inn, as if the inn had become strange at this moment and was about to wake up.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, the sense of crisis was extremely strong at this moment, and she took a few steps back in an instant.

As for the big snake, it has been lying in the distance from the beginning to the end, watching curiously, no one is helping, it seems to think that the two of them will not fight, and there will be no danger of life and death. It is aware of the changes in the inn, but There seemed to be some sense of intimacy in his expression, and he rubbed his head on the ground, as if greeting the inn.

But after realizing that Xu Qing was looking at him, it quickly made a grunting sound and kept nodding, as if reminding Xu Qing that the old man was right.

"Xu Qing, I am not a human race, and this inn is not a simple inn, it is a kind of weirdness, and my race has an ability to make weirdness fall asleep."

"So I brought the sleeping one to Seven Blood Eyes many years ago, and I was going to sell it to the first peak, but the first peak didn't give me the money immediately, and asked me to wait for them for ten years before paying. There is no way, they promised I was given too much, so I agreed, but I am also poor, and I want to practice."

"In addition, Huang Yan and I are good friends. I saved Zhang San's life. The captain of the sixth team and I are life-and-death friends. Xu Qing, don't be impulsive. We can also become good friends. The clue I gave you on the wanted criminal before is Really, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Xu Qing looked gloomy, looked at the old man who explained quickly, and then looked at the inn. At this moment in the night, the inn seemed to have turned into a big mouth in his eyes, which could swallow everything.

He knew that the old man was not simple, and there must be a way to save his life, so he never made a move before, but he still didn't expect that the killer's weapon was actually the inn itself!

But Xu Qing didn't believe what the other party said, such as selling it to the first peak.

But the feeling just now was very real, Xu Qing felt that it was not worth taking the risk of killing them.

He has a vigilant personality, and decided not to take any action at this moment, and was going to observe the place for a while, so he glanced at the old man, restrained his murderous intent, and opened his mouth lightly.

"Give me the spirit stone!"

Sensing the disappearance of Xu Qing's murderous intent, the old man quickly took out three spiritual tickets from his arms, a total of three thousand, with a flick of the three spiritual tickets went straight to Xu Qing, was caught by Xu Qing and inspected, and then cut off the wanted Holding the head of the prisoner's corpse in his hand, he turned and left without any hesitation.

From beginning to end, he only said two sentences.

Looking at Xu Qingyuan's disappearing figure at this moment, Big Snake poked his head out quickly and let out a grunt, his voice seemed to carry some joyful meaning.

Xu Qing didn't look back, and walked away slowly.

"Stop screaming, you white-eyed snake, our spirit stones are gone, you not only don't feel sorry for him, but turned to him, he really wanted to kill me just now, this inn almost woke up!" The old man was indignant, and hurried Take out the Jiedu pill and eat it.

"Gollum!"

"You actually said that I deserve it..." Hearing this, the old man became even more indignant, flicking his sleeves, sitting there smoking the pipe fiercely, his heart was a little startled by the murderous intent he felt just now.

"The evil spirit on this kid's body is even heavier. I don't know what's going on with Sea Lizard Island. I'm going to find out!"

In the darkness of night, Xu Qing walked silently, and the scene of the inn before came to his mind. The strangeness of this world made him unable to determine the truth of what the other party said, but the danger emanating from the inn felt very real.

So after walking for a long distance, Xu Qing looked back at Banquan Road in the distance, looked away for a while, and completely put away his murderous intentions.

Because Fazhou hadn't finished his promotion, Xu Qing decided to go to the Murder Division. On the one hand, he sold his vacation, and on the other hand, he planned to stay for one night. In the Murder Division, Xu Qing saw the captain who had just finished his work and was about to leave.

The captain walked out while eating the apple. After seeing Xu Qing and the three heads in his hand, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, and threw an apple over.

"So hardworking, and arresting people as soon as you come back, isn't it rewarding to go out this time?"

Xu Qing caught it, then took out a spiritual ticket with a hundred spiritual stones, and handed it over.

"The harvest is acceptable."

"I heard that there is an island near the West Coral Islands. Many people have died. It is there that you will not go." The captain took the spiritual ticket, very happy, and simply squatted on the stone chair beside him, looking asked with interest.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and shook his head.

The captain ate the apple, smiled, and didn't continue the topic, but spoke in a low voice in a mysterious way.

"Let me tell you about an earth-shattering event. After you left, we had a big case here, which aroused heated discussions among many disciples in the city. It was too tragic, and I really died tragically."

When the captain said this, he looked at Xu Qing, as if he was waiting for Xu Qing to ask.

Xu Qing also looked at the captain, but said nothing.

After a while, the captain sighed.

"Xu Qing, when someone talks to you in such a tone, you have to show curiosity, so that others won't feel embarrassed and can continue talking. This is polite."

Xu Qing was thoughtful, with curiosity on his face.

The captain felt relieved now, and after looking around, he said in a low voice.

"The captain of the third team, that fish, was killed."

"The murderer wants to investigate this matter, but is it a foreigner? It's just a matter of meaning, but the other party still has guardians, especially his two sisters, who are looking for the murderer like crazy..."

"This world is too chaotic. A young master who is an ally, you can die as soon as you die. This is a big deal. Let alone Junior Brother Xu, I am going to watch the night."

Speaking of this, the captain stood up, patted his clothes, jumped off the stone chair and walked out, but when he walked past Xu Qing, he spoke softly.

"The mermaids and Qixuetong are allies, so I let them search for it. I heard...the mermaids have a technique that allows the two older sisters to sense the murderer's tracks. They searched for more than a month and searched for all the murderers. The person who is involved with that fish should be found soon."

"Everyone is watching, this is very interesting." The captain gave Xu Qing a half-smile and left the murder department without saying anything.

Xu Qing stood where he was, pondering for a while.

After a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he turned around and handed over the heads of three wanted criminals, exchanged them for rewards, and meditated overnight in the criminal arresting department.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qing left the crime arrest department and walked on the street as usual. When he passed by a candied haws stall, he bought a bunch and ate a few bites. Then he walked into an alley and stopped in his tracks.

Soon, a woman walked quickly behind him and knelt down behind Xu Qing.

"Owner."

This woman has a graceful figure and looks very tempting. She was his informant at the beginning. Later, Xu Qing didn't need any clues, so he didn't go to summon her.

"Is there anything important recently?" Xu Qing turned around, looked at the woman in front of him calmly, and asked while eating candied haws.

Looking at Xu Qing's candied haws, the woman's heart trembled, but soon her eyes became wild again.

"Recently, there are two things that have been discussed the most. One is that the 30-year competition of the Seventh Peak disciples is approaching. Every Seventh Peak competition will be bloody. It is said that the place chosen last time was the mermaid clan. Island blood flowed like a river, and later became an ally of Seven Blood Eyes."

"The second thing is also related to the mermaid clan. The young master of the clan died, and his two sisters searched the port for more than a month..."

There are a lot of news in the port, and those who know the most are often the people of the three religions and nine streams, and after becoming Xu Qing's informant, the woman obviously has a focus on investigating the news, so Xu Qing is very satisfied with what she said at this moment, he thought about it Think, ask a question.

"Any more?"

The informant thought for a while, and said again.

"It's nothing serious. By the way, some time ago there was a small sect that moved out of the range of the Seven Blood Eyes. This kind of thing is rare. It seems to be called Jin Zong."

"Diamond Sect?" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"That's right, it's the Vajra Sect." The informant nodded.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, gave the other party five spirit stones, turned and left.

Five spirit stones are already a lot of money for a woman. She was short of breath, and when she looked at Xu Qing's back, she became even more fanatical.

After leaving the alley, Xu Qing walked on the street, thinking about the relocation of the Vajra Sect.

"Leaving?" Xu Qing squinted his eyes, thinking about the mermaid again. From the mouth of the captain and his informant, he confirmed the authenticity of the matter, and at this moment the murderous intention in his heart slowly emerged.

"These two things are hidden dangers."

Xu Qing whispered in his heart, but did not show the slightest killing intent on his face, and ended his day's duty calmly. During the period, he went to the Haizhi Museum to report the giant dragon's chariot.

According to the rules of the Haizhi Museum, after the unrecorded information is reported, it is confirmed that it is true, and there will be a reward, but it will take time to confirm, so Xu Qing left after reporting, and arrived at Zhang San's transportation department at dusk.

There, he saw Zhang San with a tired but mad face.

"Brother Xu, this time your dharma boat is the most satisfying work I, Zhang San, have ever done!" Zhang San took Xu Qing to the warehouse, and pushed the door open.

With the opening of the gate, an astonishing dharma boat came directly into Xu Qing's eyes.

The [-]-meter-long hull was filled with sea lizard skin, and as the black rays of light flowed, a condensed and perfect breath rushed towards the face. The degree of protection was visible to the naked eye.

The original structure has not changed, but two huge curved corners have been added, spreading out from both sides of the hull. At the same time, it is extremely ferocious, and at the same time, even Xu Qing felt the sharpness in his eyes. Shrink.

What is even more astonishing is that the eight sails used to be more than doubled in size now, and their structure has also changed. The color is pitch black, like the wings of a ferocious beast.

Not only that, but the inside of the hull is covered with foundation-building sea lizard skin, which makes this Dharma boat stronger than it looks on the outside. life and death.

"As for the divinity, I have pulled it out for you and integrated it into the eight sails of your dharma boat. Once opened, your dharma boat will have the power to fly and dive into the sea."

"The most important thing is that I have connected the divinity to your entire hull, and with the help of its activity, this dharma boat of yours has a certain self-healing ability. This is extremely precious in the attributes of the dharma boat of the seven blood pupils. !"

"In addition, this divinity can also be stimulated and turned into a shocking blow, which is extremely powerful. It's hard to say whether the foundation can resist it, but there is a high probability that even if it resists, it will cause serious injuries, but I don't recommend you to do this, it's too wasteful , After a few times, the divinity will be completely consumed, and once the divinity is gone, the performance of your boat will also drop greatly."

"It can be said that although your Dharma boat has not been promoted to the level of a foundation-building ship, it is not bad at all compared with ordinary foundation-building ships. As long as you fill in a foundation-building core, it is a real foundation-building ship. Ship, and beyond ordinary!"

"So, don't put the foundation-building core lightly. If you want to put it, put the best ferocious beast heart. If you can have the heart of a divine creature... then your dharma boat, with a foundation-building divine creature, There is no big difference!"

"But I know that your character doesn't like to be ostentatious, so I arranged a cover for you to make your boat look the same as before. When you need it, you can change the appearance at any time!" Zhang San looked frantic Looking at Fazhou, he introduced it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also took a deep breath, looking at the huge monster in front of him, his heart was full of shock.

After a long while, when he left the Transportation Department and returned to Port 79, Xu Qing's mood was still agitated.

But at this moment, in the main city of Seven Blood Pupils, there are five figures, two in front and three behind, galloping in the dark.

The three in the back seemed to be followers, and the two in front were women, and they all had fierce eyes. These two were the sister of the mermaid boy and the concubine of the third senior brother.

Among them, the younger sister has a murderous look on her face, while the elder sister has a strange look in her eyes. Their needs are different, but their purpose is the same.

"We searched for more than a month, found all the people who had conflicts with brother, and eliminated them one by one. Only this person did not investigate because he went to sea!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as we take a closer look, we can detect whether this son is the murderer through the blood!"

"If it is really this son, I will skin him, let him come to this world in pain, swallow his flesh every day, let him die miserably, draw out his soul, and put him in the mermaid lamp to burn this life!" The younger sister gritted her teeth and stared at him. The resentment is extremely strong.

At this moment, the wind is blowing at night, and it seems that Shura wants to kill him!
