There seemed to be a faint cold aura permeating the air around them.
This kind of aura was very weak. If it was before, Zhou Zhang would probably have ignored it. However, Zhou Zhang had just killed a ghost and was very familiar with this kind of aura. Coupled with Zhou Zhang's extremely sharp five senses, he could immediately distinguish it.
It was the aura of a ghost!
This inn actually had the aura of a ghost. It seemed that a ghost had stopped and circled here for a period of time.
This discovery made Zhou Zhang instantly interested. Ghosts were all energy points!
Unfortunately, as time passed, the ghost energy in the air gradually dissipated. Zhou Zhang did not find any ghosts in the inn or nearby.
Zhou Zhang didn't pay any more attention to it and returned to his guest room. He sat down with his eyes closed and focused. He slowly circulated the true essence in his body to cultivate. With a breath, a whirlwind blew, and the spiritual qi in the air swarmed over. In an instant, Zhou Zhang's entire body was surrounded by a faint white fog.
There were two streams of white mist in his mouth and nose that were like dragons soaring, stretching and contracting with his breathing.
……
Time flew, and the night passed quickly. The Golden Crow slowly rose from the east.
Dazzling golden light shone through the cracks in the window and shone into the room. The entire county was waking up. The noise gradually increased, and the people on the streets became denser and denser.
However, Zhou Zhang's inn was a little remote. Although there were guests getting up one after another, it was still relatively quiet. In addition, the buildings and scenery revealed a faint elegance, which made people feel very happy.
Zhou Zhang did not go out and was still immersed in his cultivation. The spiritual qi in the air became denser and denser, lingering around Zhou Zhang's body and forming a cloud.
This scene looked very holy and otherworldly. Zhou Zhang's white clothes were spotless, and his hair was tied up with a silver crown. He sat on the couch, and clouds surrounded him.
After reaching the Grandmaster Realm, Zhou Zhang's method of absorbing energy was no longer limited to food. However, the amount of spiritual energy he could absorb was limited. After becoming a martial grandmaster, Zhou Zhang could feel that the efficiency of his absorption of spiritual energy had greatly increased.
The surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth was absorbed into his body and instantly transformed into purple liquid true essence. It circulated through his body and continuously nourished his entire body.
This kind of slow cultivation and comprehension of his own body was completely different from the feeling of the system directly leveling up violently.
As dusk approached, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhou Zhang slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were as deep as a cold lake, and he no longer poured out his spiritual power.
At the same time, the clouds around Zhou Zhang gradually dissipated. Only then did Zhou Zhang stand up and open the door.
"Young Master, my son is getting married tonight. There are no relatives here, so we'll set up a few tables in the hall. If Young Master doesn't mind, we can have a good time together!”
The person standing in front of Zhou Zhang was the innkeeper of the inn. He was wearing a light blue dress and his hair was a little white. He should be over forty years old. At this moment, his face was filled with joy as he stretched out his hands towards Zhou Zhang and took out a red invitation.
"Of course, congratulations to the shopkeeper!”
Zhou Zhang didn't want to participate in any banquet, but he felt a faint ghost aura from the shopkeeper, so he immediately agreed.
This shopkeeper was an ordinary person, but he must have come into contact with or been close to ghosts not long ago, so his body was contaminated with the aura. Moreover, this aura was very similar to the one Zhou Zhang sensed last night. It should be the same ghost.
Then, the shopkeeper exchanged a few more pleasantries with Zhou Zhang before walking to the next guest room. It seemed like he was going to invite the other people in the inn.
Zhou Zhang washed up and opened the invitation card. He was surprised to find that the shopkeeper's surname was Liu. It seemed that the wedding banquet at the Liu inn was about this shop!
What a coincidence!
They heard that the bride was extremely beautiful. Outsiders came to look for her but failed. They met the owner of the inn, Second Young Master Liu. In just a few days, they had achieved good things.
After putting down the invitation, Zhou Zhang walked down from the second floor to the inn's lobby. At this time, the incident that happened at the magistrate's mansion in Qingyang City last night had gradually spread, and many people were discussing it.
"Magistrate Cao deserves it. I heard that his head was blown up with a punch! The scene was so tragic that the coroner could not help but feel his hair stand on end!”
"I heard that he barged in alone, killed Magistrate Cao, and left quietly.”
"Recently, not far from the county town, a few more bodies were discovered. They are all young and strong young men. The bodies seem to have been bitten by wild beasts.”
……
Other than Magistrate Cao's matter, Zhou Zhang also heard many other strange news.
By the time it was a little later, the Liu family inn had already been decorated with lanterns and streamers. Everywhere was filled with joy. The inn's hall, courtyard, and other places were filled with banquets.
The innkeeper and his wife had already changed into festive clothes and were constantly receiving guests. There were also many children running back and forth. Then, they were softly scolded by the adults and pulled back to the table.
"The bride is here!"
A shout rang out, and the atmosphere in the inn instantly became even more lively. Everyone crowded around to join in the fun, chatting and laughing, teasing the groom from time to time.
The groom was a weak scholar with delicate features. He was wearing a red wedding dress. When he heard everyone's teasing, his face could not help but turn red.
"Wow, candy,"
"The groom is carrying the bride. Be careful of the threshold!”
The inn was bustling with noise and excitement. Everyone was smiling as they watched the bride get off the sedan chair carried by the groom.
The ghostly qi became denser again!
At this moment, Zhou Zhang, who was standing in the crowd, narrowed his eyes.
