Zhou Mingtong glanced at the old woman through the door leading to the back kitchen strangely, but found nothing special.
The three of them seemed to be sitting quietly in the lobby. After waiting for a while, the old woman brought some side dishes and two jugs of good wine to the table. There were still no candles lit in the lobby.
"You old man doesn't have to be so frugal, right? The few of us sitting in the lobby are reluctant to light a candle?"
Zhou Mingtong glanced at the candles on the wall, as if they were decorations.
"This is the rule of our inn. At night, the lights are not allowed to be turned on."
The old woman arranged the dishes and did not respond to Zhou Mingtong's request. After putting away all the food, she left with the wooden tray.
"Who said you can't light candles? Didn't I see you put an oil lamp on the counter before? Could it be that I was wrong?"
"That's different. In short, the rule in our store is that we can't light lights at night. If the guest officer insists on ordering, please go elsewhere."
What the old woman said was very tough, if the other party was still persistent, she really wanted to roll up her sleeves and chase him away.
"Then lend us the oil lamp you used earlier. Anyway, you said it was different, so let us see what the difference is."
Cao Yun said, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, he went directly to the counter and took the previously lit oil lamp to his table.
The old woman wanted to stop it, but she stretched out her hand, and when she saw that the other party had already got the oil lamp, she retracted her hand again.
"Since you young people don't listen to the advice and insist on touching my old lady's things, then no matter what happens next, it has nothing to do with me. The old lady will go upstairs to rest first."
She seemed to be really angry, and went back to her room upstairs with a flick of her sleeves.
"Isn't it just a broken lamp, what else is there to pay attention to?"
Zhou Mingtong took it over, fiddled with it in his hand, then directly lit the oil lamp in his hand with zhenqi, and put it aside to illuminate the food on the table, but the moment the oil lamp illuminated the food, the food suddenly changed.
I saw that the meal, which looked quite appetizing, suddenly turned into a pile of bones and rotten meat full of maggots.
Cao Yun almost threw up on the spot.
Zhou Mingtong's face was very ugly, and he overturned the table with one hand.
As for the two pots of so-called good wine, the moment they fell down, foul-smelling crimson blood slowly flowed out from them.
Alkyne Ying kept a straight face all the time, unable to see clearly what was going on in her heart, but the yin and yang mirror on the table did not fall off at the moment the table was overturned, but instead floated in mid-air, spinning slowly, emitting A faint yellowish glow.
"That old lady is unusual, I think I know who she is..."
Alkyne Ying stood up calmly, followed the old woman's footsteps into the room, came to the door of the other's room, and gently pushed the door open with one hand.
Cao Yun and Zhou Mingtong followed closely behind.
When the three of them came to this room, they didn't find anyone's voice. Instead, they saw that there were no beds, no tables and chairs in the room, only two old graves in the corner.
"In the underworld, there is a special kind of official mission. They need to walk in the world and the underworld. In the world, in order to avoid being recognized by strange and strange people, it is necessary to arrange a special invisible evidence around three feet to emit a strong Sunshine."
"And the purpose of those official missions in the human world is to allow those displaced souls to have a stable whereabouts, and by the way, to forget everything that happened in the human world before reaching the underworld."
"Those officials also specially created a very magical medicine to achieve this effect... the world calls it Meng Po Tang."
"And the group of people who walk in the Jiuyou Difu and the world, because they all look like old women, they are also called...Meng Po!"
While talking, Yinying walked towards one of the tombs, and with a slight wave of her hand, the loess on the tomb was instantly lifted, revealing a coffin inside.
Under the signal of her eyes, Zhou Mingtong opened the coffin and found that it was the old woman lying inside.
"She knew she had been found, and what remained here was a shell."
Alkyne Ying said, using the yin and yang mirror in his hand to directly draw a little spark to fall on the corpse, and the old woman's body instantly turned into ashes.
Chapter 284
"If the person in this tomb is Meng Po, who is in the other tomb?"
Cao Yun asked curiously.
Yinying just turned her head slightly, gave him a blank look, and then said coldly, "I'm not lying in there, how do I know?"
It is a taboo of the imperial court to offend the underworld and demolish officials. After all, no matter how majestic a person is while alive, they will all be under the jurisdiction of the underworld after death, and those officials are still officials no matter how small they are.
The ghosts who are new to hell are no match for these "old-timers".
But I didn't expect that what I ran into here today was a special official who could walk in the world and the underworld at the same time.
"So this also explains why there is such a strong yin energy in this place. The couple who were in the room before should be ghosts who are about to be taken into the underworld, but now they are driven away by us."
Zhou Mingtong suddenly felt that his punishment of evil and promotion of good just now seemed wrong.
"These are little things."
"Those lonely and wild ghosts have been outside for a long time, and sooner or later they will meet a new Meng Po to take them to the underworld."
Alkyne Ying said, although the mystery of the old woman's identity has been solved now, the complexion on her face has not improved.
Instead, the frown became even tighter.
"Isn't this the mystery that has been solved? No matter how you look at it, your face doesn't seem so good."
Zhou Mingtong said.
The rotten meat and maggots on the previous table really disgusted him.
"Who told you that the mystery has been solved?!"
"Now I just know the identity of the shopkeeper in this inn... There are other residents living in it, and their identities are not clear yet."
As Yinying said, she aimed the yin and yang mirror in her hand at another grave next to the previous Meng grave. It seemed that its appearance seemed to be older, as if it had existed here a long time ago.
Compared with Meng Po's grave, it looks more like a new resident.
"This tomb is not ordinary. Even if a ghost messenger with a higher official position is dug up, it might be."
Alkyne Firefly Road.
After finishing speaking, he looked around worriedly and confirmed that there were no other arrangements, and then he said to the two people behind him, "Go and invite Lord Zhenfushi and Xuanjingshi here, the matter here has already involved When we get to the underworld, it’s not something we can solve.”
Alkyne Yingying is still very self-aware of her own strength.
Knowing that you can't deal with it, but still rushing up by yourself, that's just a stupid fool.
"it is good."
After Zhou Mingtong responded, he turned his head directly to the direction where Gu Changan and the two were located.
Cao Yun stayed where he was, staring blankly at the old grave.
"What are you still doing here? The Zhou surname went to find someone."
Alkyne Yingying has never talked to them all this way, but she didn't expect that this is the first time she gets together, and she reveals to the two that she is a hard-to-talk master.
"Anyway, I'm also a man, how can I let a woman stay alone in this kind of place?"
Cao Yun said, but in fact, he knew better than anyone else what he was thinking.
In this room, you can also rely on Alkyne Ying, who looks weak, but is actually much stronger than the two of them.
But outside of this room, that may not be the case.
This place is not too close to the rooms of Gu Changan and others, and there are several rooms that are said to be occupied by people in the middle, who knows if they will survive through the door.
But Yin Ying didn't know what the other party was thinking, and what the other party said, she naturally assumed what the other party was thinking.
So this woman who didn't have a deep understanding of the world really believed in his evil, thinking that he was a man with heroism.
Don't look at the time that Yingying has wandered outside for so long, but most of them are looking for opportunities and secret treasures in the deep mountains, and the time of contact with humans is not long.
So I can't understand the ways of the world when I talk to you.
But Cao Yun is different.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in places like the bitter cold of the border, the law of the jungle is nakedly displayed at a glance.
There, everything needs to rely on strength to speak.
Of course, family background and financial resources are all part of strength.
What's more, it is necessary to learn to use the situation to suppress others. That's why Cao Yun chose to get close to the most powerful General Guo in the border when he was squeezed out by everyone.
Of course, the feeling of sympathy with the other party is also one of the reasons.
"At that time, if something comes out of this grave, I'll stop him first, and you run too quickly. Then the things locked in the other rooms may not be as scary as him."
Alkyne Firefly said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, Cao Yun was a little dumbfounded.
"Although you do have a bit of heroism in staying here, but arrogance can't keep you alive. I still have a bit of a chance of winning if I stay here. You can't be my dragging bottle."
Alkyne Ying said, although he didn't directly say the word "dislike", but the meaning revealed in the words is not exactly the same.
Cao Yun came back to his senses slightly, and nodded embarrassingly.
And after waiting for a long time, before Zhou Mingtong called Gu Changan and the two over, Yinying knew that things didn't seem to be going as smoothly as she thought.
Although Po Meng couldn't come over after burning the body, there seemed to be other things in the inn that were more difficult to deal with.
The other tomb in this room is one, and there are several other upper rooms. I don't know what kind of monsters are imprisoned in them.
"Let's go! The thing in this grave, after it comes out, I'm afraid it will turn into red ground for thousands of miles!"
Seeing that the loess on the tomb was slowly turning red, as if blood was seeping from the inside, Yinying knew that something was wrong.
As soon as he turned around, he directly grabbed Cao Yun's hand and rushed out of the door, but just as he rushed to the door, he was blocked by a tall black shadow.
"That Meng Po is really unusual. Other Meng Pos can only lead ghosts to hell, but she deliberately imprisoned ghosts in this inn. She must be harboring evil intentions..."
Alkyne Ying looked at the tall figure standing in front of him. Although it was a humanoid creature, it had no clothing to cover its body, and its face could not be seen clearly. It just looked like a burnt corpse.
It's just that the corpse stood at the door like an iron wall, and it was difficult for others to shake it.
Alkyne Ying calmed down, and the yin and yang mirror in her hand released a gray aura, which floated towards the corpse in front of her.
The latter seemed to be a little afraid of the gray aura, and quickly stepped back a few steps to make a gap.
That was enough for the two of them to run out.
The moment the two of them seized the opportunity and ran out——
The old grave in the room exploded suddenly!
Chapter 285
The old tomb inside exploded, and the loess on it was scattered everywhere, but when it fell to the ground, it turned into blood-red soil again.
And what came out of the tomb was a figure that looked like a normal person. He was wearing what seemed to be an ancient court dress, but the skin on his face looked more delicate than that of ordinary women.
He walked out of the room step by step in three-foot-long black hair, lazily stretched out. If it wasn't for the weird smile on his face as he looked around at this moment, he would really be no different from a normal person.
"I have waited for so many years, and finally waited for the day when I came out. I didn't expect to leave such a big gift for me as soon as I came out."
said the ghoul.
He swaggered towards the room where Gu Changan was, and in his eyes, in the entire inn, this room exuded the strongest blood.
And the moment his hand touched the door, a long knife rushed out of the room and stabbed straight at the latter's door.
The latter didn't dodge or dodge, but just stretched out one hand and grabbed the long knife directly. The long knife stayed in the air, trembling slightly, trying to break free from the shackles of the palm, but found that it was powerless.
"What a human boy, I thought that when I was alive, I was as old as you and might not have the skills like you. Why don't you follow me in the future, and we will build an empire of our own."
The man laughed and threw the long knife into the room, then opened the door and walked in, only to find that Gu Changan was sitting at the table, drinking a cup of tea.
"You said that this world is really strange, but you can encounter such supernatural things after waking up in the middle of the night and drinking a sip of water. I originally wanted to stay here until tomorrow morning, but it seems that I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Gu Chang'an said some words that the other party didn't understand.
And the man was not in a hurry, and the corpse with the iron wall followed, like a security guard, guarding behind the door, facing outside, looking around.
Gu Changan glanced at the man in front of him.
