Su Jingyun settled down in this Tongfu Inn. At night when the lights were on, she went to the front hall for a few laps, wanting to hear what's new in Luoyang recently.The boss was still leaning against the counter with his sleeves rolled up, listening to the bragging of quacks from all over the world, and occasionally saying a few words in a neither salty nor weak tone.

Su Jingyun changed a few tables, and what he heard was either the shifting of palaces*, or the decline of the six doors.Thinking that a few months ago, the six gates were still very good in the Jianghu of the capital, but now the second south gate has been completely annihilated, and the other two gates have been handed over to Zhenbei Mansion, so I can't help but sigh.

A few Jianghu people chatted, and then they talked about the five big bodyguards. The five big bodyguards of Luoyang have been allied for more than a hundred years, and there have been many heroes. In the current generation, although the world is very mediocre, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is still the talk of many people.

The Xuanyuan Tomb incident a few months ago, it is not an exaggeration to call it chaotic, the demons and ghosts from all sides joined the battle, regardless of the righteous demon sect, black and white, they were so red-eyed for a book of shifting and changing palaces, so that It is not known whose hands the latter book fell into.

I don’t know where the rumors came from, and many people were sure that the shifting of palaces* was in the hands of the five major bodyguards. When asked why they thought so, the people who said this news were also hesitant, and then said that it was passers-by A, B, B, B, Ding in person. As you can see, that day someone used the skills of the Five Escorts and took away the secret books, and then said that the Five Escorts must have a secret to ask the court for credit.Some people even said that somewhere there was a blind fortune-teller who was quite capable, and after counting, it was Zhu Zong, the head of the five bodyguard bureaus, who changed his face and took the scripture.

Su Jingyun took a sip of tea and listened to it as a joke. She traveled all over the world, saw small bridges, flowing water, and lonely smoke in the desert. What can be regarded as the commonality of all people is the word gossip.There is an old head in Beijing, maybe there is a small head in Luoyang, and there is a big head and two heads in Jiangnan Desert. Anyway, some people love to talk, some people love to listen, and there are curious babies who love to ask.

"Shopkeeper, I heard from your buddy that you have some relationship with the Tongfu Inn and the Five Escorts, so what's the news, tell us a few brothers?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and smiled: "It's all nonsense from the subordinates."

Those men were persistent, and asked again: "Then you have opened Tongfu Inn in Beishi for so many years, and you haven't got any anecdotes to tell you?"

The boss bent down and took the tongs, and went to poke the charcoal in the brazier at his feet. The unburned charcoal was poked into the fire, and it burned with a beeping sound. The boss squatted on the ground, and couldn't see his expression clearly.

"There are no private anecdotes."

"Shopkeeper, you are so boring."

Beishi is a mixed bag, and it is rare for an inn owner who has been here for so many years to be so taciturn.Some people said that a bat-faced man appeared in the Xuanyuan Tomb at that time, he was like a demon, and he had inch-long black nails on his five fingers, which made people frightened.

Whenever this kind of thing happens, there will always be a monster and ghost, and the people around will burst into laughter, but there will be an "Ah—" at the same time, followed by yelling.

"You don't have eyes, you pick up carbon and throw it on the ground?"

It turned out that when the boss was adding carbon, he shook his hand and dropped a piece of red-hot carbon on the foot of a passing person. Fortunately, the cloth shoes he was wearing at this time were thick, so that person was scalded too. , as soon as his temper comes up, he raises his fist to save people.

Seeing this, the bragging quacks hurriedly got up to intercede, saying that it was cold and people were not easy, so the shopkeeper apologized, that's fine.

The shopkeeper apologized, and took money to ask the man to buy a new pair of cloth shoes, and the matter finally subsided.In order to reward those men, he went to the kitchen to warm the wine and invited these men to drink.

When the wine was served, the shopkeeper let the men do their thing, while he still sat on the side quietly with his sleeves covered.A man asked: "Shopkeeper, it's not winter yet, so afraid of the cold, how do you live in winter?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's just that this year is very cold."

The man said: "Yes, it's very cold this year. I see, even God knows the grievances of those people after autumn. The snow fell so early on purpose, and there is a vision in the sky. It must be grievances!"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I can't stop watching."

The man asked: "How do you say?"

The shopkeeper said: "It was still very warm in the afternoon, but in a blink of an eye, the sky changed."

The man said: "That's how it is. As the saying goes, June's day, the face of a child, changes as soon as it is said. And when June Feixue said it, I think it is this grievance."

The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned pale: "I reckon that in the afternoon, the escort from the Zhenghong Escort will pass through Gourd Manor."

The man was taken aback, and asked, "Is it the Calabash Village 30 years ago?"

The shopkeeper said: "Actually, the people in the five major bodyguards are not strangers to me. I have a distant cousin who works in it. I heard that they are going to go to the bodyguards, and they have to go through Calabash Village, so I went to the bodyguards and tried to persuade them. Don't go that way, as a result, none of the escorts listened to my words, there really are ghosts there—"

A look of fear flashed on the shopkeeper's face. The men only thought it was a rumor, but when they saw the shopkeeper's distorted and frightened face, they broke into a cold sweat.

"Not only the bat-masked man...but also the tiger-masked man, the bear-masked man...killed more than 100 people, more than 100..."

A few hours ago.

In the autumn afternoon, the sun was so warm that people were exhausted from the sun, and even the horses were exhausted, and their hooves were very slow.

A team of guards was walking towards Calabash Mountain.

There were a total of thirty people in the escort team, and the leader was a tall, thin man with a sallow complexion and slightly protruding eyes. He was the second escort leader of Luoyang Zhenghong, "Yellow-faced Rakshasa" Zhu Can, and the one behind him was Zhu Shen. The nine people, all tall and burly, with muscular muscles and a nine-ringed gold-backed machete on their backs, are Zhu Shen's well-known "Golden Knife Nine Customers".There are about twenty people in the back, all with brown scarves around their heads, and they are the most elite escorts in Zhenghong's escort agency.

There were three carriages in total, and a small red flag was planted on each carriage, with the three characters of Zhenghong Escort written on it.Seven or eight large copper boxes were neatly placed on the carriage, tied with a rope as thick as a child's arm, and there were two locks, one bright and one dark, on the top.The bright lock is made of fine steel, and when the sun shines, it is dazzlingly bright.

This time the bodyguards were sent by the Zheng family of Xingyang, and they only sent tea and other local products, but the Zheng family of Xingyang was a famous family, and the Zhenghong bodyguard bureau sent the most experienced bodyguards under the sect to escort the bodyguards on this trip.

On the other side of the official road is a forest, which is too sparse to hide people. There is a dilapidated tea house on the side of the road. The proprietress is sitting at the door with a hookah, smoking a hookah.Although the proprietress looks good, her skin is extremely dark, and her figure is a bit thick. There is a big coarse cloth bag hanging around her waist, which is stuffed with stuff, and she feeds some into her mouth from time to time. It seems that it is mostly dried tobacco shells. something like that.

As the escort team approached, a passer-by shouted: "Madam, get me some wine, a few pots of tea, and some food for my family. Beef is the best."

Seeing the big business, the proprietress smiled from ear to ear: "There is wine, just moved out of the cellar, it is cool and refreshing, tea is available, and dry food is also available."

That tripman said with a smile: "Then give some, and the money will be settled."

The proprietress went into the house and brought several jars of wine, filled three pots of tea, and brought two white cloth bags of dry food: "You can give me a few bucks."

Several people came over to pick up things, and the one who called out just now said, "Thank you."

"Where are the heroes going?"

"We're going to Xingyang this time."

"Go to Xingyang from here?"

"Yeah, this trip is in time, so we can only go from here."

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the woman's dark face.She has a rough appearance, but this smile is like a fox demon's upper body, seductive to the bone.

"The hero knows, where are you going this trip?"

"I know, Calabash Mountain."

"Then the hero is still leaving? Calabash Mountain, but something is unusual."

The tripman made a haha: "What's unusual? Isn't it just some monsters and ghosts? Have you seen that person over there? That's Master Zhu from our bodyguard bureau, who specializes in subjugating demons and defending Taoism."

The woman let out a long "Oh~" and said, "The hero has gone all the way, next time, come again."

They didn't dare to delay, bought food and left.I have been around a lot, and I am not afraid of ghosts and ghosts, but I am most afraid of villains.Most travelers are very wary of the teahouse by the roadside, even the middle-aged and young ladies in the teahouse have to be wary.So I drove for about a mile or two before I found a place to hit the tip.

Several bodyguards took out some silver needles to test the poison, and scattered some medicinal powder in the tea and wine.After a while, I found that there was no problem, so I just invited people to come and eat and drink together.After eating and drinking enough, they began to talk about the sea.The shopkeeper who bought wine and meat imitated the appearance of the proprietress, and told the story of the calabash mountain again. He was a very rough man, and his awkward posture inevitably made everyone laugh.

"Hero, there are ghosts there, I'm so scared."

One of them rolled and laughed, "Just your black face, don't ruin the reputation of the lady boss."

The traveler said: "Don't say that, the lady boss's skin is indeed darker than mine."

"Yo, are you still paying attention?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

A group of men laughed, not worried about the monster in the mouth of the proprietress at all, they had a few nasty conversations about drinks and dry food, and finally satiated with wine and food, and each leaned against a tree to rest.

The tripper woke up, looked up, it was almost dark, and looked around, there were trees and shadows, all of them were cold and strange.

What scares him even more is that his companions are all gone.

Are you dreaming?Qu Zi slapped himself hard with his hand, his face was burning with pain, and he realized that this was not a dream!He quickly got up and looked around.The three carriages are still there, and the copper box is still there, but the horses are gone, and the people are gone.

where did they goCould it be that he went to find someone to stay?

The tripman searched around, but found no trace of popularity, let alone a house, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, he was shivering from the cold, strangely, when he looked up, he found a family - Huluzhuang!

His heart was chilled, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Suddenly, a furry thing grazed his legs and ran forward.

what?

The tripper looked forward, but saw the front, a mass of things turned around, a pointed face, green eyes, and a closer look, it was a fox... The tripper let out a "wow" in fright, Sitting down on the ground, cold sweat all over his back——

This is not only a fox, but also a fox that looks exactly like the proprietress just now!
