Youxu Hexu

There are many mountains in Xiqiang.

Fengque Ridge occupies one-third of the mountains in Xiqiang, so everyone who climbs mountains and mountains from here for the first time will go to Ping An Inn before leaving.It's not because the Ping'an Inn is safe, but because the Ping'an Inn sells maps.

This kind of map was rare at first, but it became less rare when more people sold it.For example, An Ran had such a card in his hand, but they still came to the Ping An Inn because they agreed with Ming Zun to meet here.

With Duanmu Huichun on his back, Mo Ju went to the counter with Doctor Huo and asked for three upper rooms.

The boss of the shopkeeper looked at Duanmu Huichun who was lying on his back with displeasure, and asked, "What's wrong with this guest officer? Do you want me to invite a doctor?"

Mo Ju said: "It's okay to eat bad stomach."

The shopkeeper was silent for a long time.

Mo Ju took out a small ingot of gold and put it on the counter.

Only then did the shopkeeper call a man with a smile on his face to take them upstairs.

Mo Ju walked very slowly, as if he was too old and weak to bear the burden. Every time he took a step, his crutches would hit the floor heavily, and even Dr. Huo also slowed down.

Going all the way into the room, just as Doctor Huo closed the door, Duanmu Huichun jumped off Mo Ju's back, supported him and said, "Elder Mo is so tired that he is suffering."

Mo Ju immediately straightened his back, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I just made it for those people to see."

Doctor Huo took his hand and said: "Let's feel the pulse."

Mo Ju asked, "How?"

Doctor Huo said: "Your qi and blood are deficient, I will prescribe a prescription for you later."

Mo Ju said, "Where do you go to get the medicine?"

Imperial Physician Huo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't this what you should think?"

Mo Ju: "..."

While talking, the window was tapped twice.

Mo Ju pushed open the window, and An Ran immediately slid in like a loach.

Duanmu Huichun poured her a glass.

An Ran took it over, and said with a sweet smile: "You are not in good health, what are you busy doing?"

Doctor Huo said: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good, what's so strange?"

An Ran was stunned.

Mo Ju interjected: "Well, let it be. An Ran, how is Feng Que Ridge going?"

An Ran shook her head and said: "Not good. The disciples of the Holy Moon Sect and the Jueying Peak have set up many checkpoints here, both bright and dark, and there are many people who don't know where they came from. I heard that even the Hunhun King sent people here Don't look at this small Ping'an Inn, I'm afraid that all the major forces of the Western Qiang Martial Arts have gathered here."

Mo Ju said: "Have the Shengyue Sect and Jueying Peak caught Ji Qinglan yet? What are you doing?"

An Ran said: "I heard from Elder Lu that Ji Qinglan was originally a coquettish guest of the Holy Moon Sect. Do you think the Sacred Moon Sect has made great efforts to arrest people? Hmph, it's almost as good as letting the water in the dark."

Imperial Physician Huo was puzzled and said, "Jet? Is the leader of the Holy Moon Sect a woman?"

Mo Ju coughed dryly, and changed the subject, "What does the Shengyue Sect have to do with us if we don't arrest people? Let's think about how to wait in this inn safely until Lord Hou and Mingzun come to meet us."

An Ran said, "Where is Yi Ran?"

Mo Ju said: "You lead the way, after she dies, it may take two days to arrive."

An Ran said: "I live in Fugui Room No. [-] on the left hand side at the end of this corridor. I have inquired about it, and there is a couple living on the opposite side, about forty or so years old, and their footsteps should be Lianjiazi. They live next door to me It was a businessman, and I smelled the smell of medicinal materials in his room, so he should be in the business of medicinal materials. The room next door is still empty."

Mo Ju said: "Okay. Tonight I will also go to other rooms to explore the way."

Imperial Physician Huo frowned and said, "Here, don't make any further complications. Didn't you say that Zun and Lord Hou will arrive in a few days?"

"I'm afraid that something will happen in the past few days." Seeing Doctor Huo's worried expression, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I have a measure."

An Ran looked at his crutches, shook her head and said, "I'll go. Even if someone finds out, it's just a thief."

Mo Ju knew that An Ran's lightness skill was superior to his, so he said, "Be careful."

Although Mo Ju asked for three upper rooms, one of them was left empty for show.He also specially closed the windows and doors tightly, and drew a string on the windows and the door. Bells were strung on the wires. If someone entered the room, it would make a sound.There are two rooms left, one for him and Imperial Physician Huo, and one for Duanmu Huichun.

In the evening, Mo Ju ordered meals for Imperial Physician Huo and Duanmu Huichun to enter the room, while he changed into plain clothes and ate in the lobby.He came quite early, and chose a corner position, which happened to be able to see the gate and the stairs.

When it was almost dinner time, the number of people in the lobby gradually increased, and there were not enough tables, so a couple moved to his table.

Mo Ju looked at their hands and found that there were calluses on both the left and right hands, obviously they were training both hands.The couple ate very quickly, and they were not in a hurry to leave after eating. Instead, they chatted with Mo Ju in jerky Chinese.

"Where is the old man from?" The husband has a square face, showing a row of neat white teeth when he smiles, and looks simple and honest.

Mo Ju spoke with an accent that he didn't know where it was, and said with a smile: "Zhoujiakou in Liaodong."

The husband said, "Then your surname must be Zhou."

"Haha, yes, my name is Zhou Zheng."

The husband said, "Good name."

Mo Ju said: "Our Zhou family is very particular about choosing names. My father's name is Zhou Quan. There were famous people in our ancestors."

The husband asked with interest: "Which one?"

Mo Ju said, "Zhou Yu."

His wife interjected in fluent Chinese, "Isn't Zhou Yu from Lujiang?"

It was only then that Mo Ju noticed that she didn't look like a Xiqiang person, but rather came from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.He reacted very quickly, and said with a haha: "How many years have passed, so I moved naturally."

The husband nodded and said, "There are many wars in the Central Plains."

Mo Ju thought to himself: How can your Western Qiang be peaceful?I heard that the Hunhun King's throne was snatched from his brother.

The three of them had different ideas, but they chatted very congenially.Mo Ju made up a story about visiting relatives, and the couple also said that they were visiting friends. As for whether it is true or not, only each of them knows well.

Suddenly, a person rushed into the door, and the other didn't pay attention, and slammed heavily on the table closest to the door.Before the guests at that table could react, the person had already slid out like a fish and rushed upstairs.

The sudden change made everyone in the lobby stunned.

The guests at that table stood up abruptly, and were about to catch up, when a few more people broke in from outside the door, each with a burly back and a big knife in their hands, looking ferocious.The leader grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and took him out from behind the counter, and clasped it to his chest and said a lot in Xiqiang dialect.

The shopkeeper was trembling all over, but still shook his head.

The leader was furious, raised his hand and chopped off his neck.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's body shrank suddenly, and he got out of his coat.

Seeing this, several other people immediately surrounded him, and the shop assistants dropped their belongings and rushed over.

For a time, two groups of people fought chickens and eggs.

Mo Ju saw that the couple were watching intently, so he shrank his head and walked up.

The husband tripped over his knee, turned his head in doubt and said, "Where are you going?"

Mo Jubai said with this face: "This is a place of right and wrong, it's better to leave quickly."

The husband smiled and said, "Don't worry, with my husband and I here, I will definitely protect you."

Mo Ju said: "It's not that I don't believe in virtuous couples, it's just that I'm really scared."

He said so, and the husband no longer insisted.

Mo Ju bowed his body and cautiously went all the way upstairs.The second and third floors were extremely quiet, but there was a sound of the door opening on the fourth floor, as if it heard him approaching, and then it slammed shut again.He looked around, turned around before returning to the third floor, opened the door and entered the house.

Doctor Huo hid in the bed tent, holding the medicine box tightly with both hands, he was relieved when he saw it and said: "I heard the bell next door ringing just now."

Mo Ju said: "Then Elder Duanmu, is there any movement?"

Doctor Huo shook his head and said, "No."

Mo Ju asked again: "Apart from the ringing of the bell next door, is there any movement?"

Doctor Huo thought for a while and said, "Just the sound of your footsteps."

Mo Ju frowned.Could it be that the person who fled up earlier did not come to the third floor, but rushed directly to the second floor?Their room was not far from the stairs, and Doctor Huo could hear the footsteps of that person as well.He was still thinking, when he heard another bell ring next to him.

Physician Huo was startled, Mo Ju opened the door calmly, turned left, and knocked lightly on the door.

Imperial Physician Huo followed behind him step by step, and whispered: "This is not..."

Before he finished speaking, the door opened.

Without waiting for them to speak, Duanmu Huichun turned sideways to let them in.

Mo Ju said, "What noise did you hear just now?"

Duanmu Huichun smiled and said: "But the ringtone?"

Doctor Huo said: "Exactly!"

Duanmu Huichun said: "I just heard the sound and wanted to go to the second floor to have a look. I happened to see a person coming up. I was afraid that he would go straight to the third floor, so I hid in the empty room next to you. The two bells you heard were me entering the house." Open the door when you leave the house, and open the window when you leave the house." He paused, then asked Mo Ju, "What happened downstairs?"

Mo Ju recounted the changes in the lobby.

Physician Huo said: "The person before may be Ji Qinglan!"

Duanmu Huichun frowned and said, "Ji Qinglan has Ape Ahuan by her side, so she shouldn't be alone."

Mo Ju said: "I heard you said that Ji Qinglan's martial arts are unfathomable, but the martial arts of the group chasing him are only second or third rate. If it was him, they shouldn't be in such a mess."

Physician Huo said: "It wasn't Ji Qinglan who ran away, doesn't it mean that the one who chased wasn't someone from Shengyue Sect or Jueying Peak?"

Mo Ju said: "Let's not talk about it. I don't think this inn is simple, but I don't know who is behind it."

Duanmu Huichun said: "Fengque Ridge is the place where the Central Plains and the Western Qiang must pass. This inn can be located here, and it is either Hunhun King or Shengyue Sect behind it."

Imperial Physician Huo said nervously: "What should I do?"

Mo Ju said: "What does it matter to us? The Holy Moon Sect's Jueying Peak is looking for Ji Qinglan, and the Hunhun King has helped us."

Imperial Physician Huo was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "But didn't you say that the Lord of Jueying Peak would rather be an enemy of the Demon Cult than imprison Elder Duanmu, and he would definitely not let it go?"

Duanmu Huichun's heart was full of waves, and he couldn't help looking at Mo Ju.

Mo Ju said embarrassingly: "You were in a coma at the time, and we chatted casually."

Duanmu Huichun sighed and said: "For my business, everyone has been troubled."

Mo Ju said: "Elder Duanmu doesn't treat us as brothers when he speaks like this."

Doctor Huo looked at him in surprise, "You guys are brothers like this?"

Mo Ju said: "The Devil Cult is all brothers and sisters."

Imperial Physician Huo thought for a while and said, "I think it's better for us not to talk about friendship as equals."

Mo Ju: "..."
