At night, Yan Qin lay in bed and opened the system that had been silent for half a year.
The system did not change much. It was still the same as before. Other than an information card, there was nothing else.
Yan Qin opened the information card, and rows of information surged into his mind.
Yan Qin: Male
Path of the Celestial Master: Mortal
[Skill: None]
[Merit Points: 0]
Four rows of words, a simple bit of information, made Yan Qin confused.
He more or less knew a little about merit points. Usually, there were quite a lot of merit points in novels, but in reality, his understanding of these aspects was basically zero.
As for the path of a Celestial Master, he knew nothing about it. Although he had come to this world inexplicably, so far, he had not discovered anything different about himself, let alone a Celestial Master.
However, if he really encountered an evil this time, he might be able to take the opportunity to see what his cheat was for.
As he thought about this, Yan Qin felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Finally, he started to feel sleepy. Before he fell asleep, he glanced at Wuxin. Wuxin was sleeping on the table beside him. Yan Qin's worried heart finally calmed down a little and he fell asleep.
…………
He had a good night's sleep and nothing out of the ordinary happened.
In the morning, Yan Qin and Wuxin stared at each other helplessly.
It seemed that the two of them were overthinking yesterday. How could there be any evil here? Not only did they fail to catch the ghost, but they also spent all their money. It was really not worth it.
However, at this moment, a commotion suddenly came from downstairs, mixed with the cries of children.
-
"Something seems to have happened. Let's go down and take a look.”
Yan Qin got up from the bed, got off the bed, opened the door, and walked downstairs.
When the two of them went downstairs, they saw that the entrance of the inn was blocked by people. These people formed a circle, and in the middle of the circle, there was a corpse lying quietly.
The two of them were close to each other, and their whispers reached their ears.
"Why did another one die? Before the eighth of every month, people would die here.”
"Yes, don't you think it's strange? The girl who died a few days ago was still seventeen or eighteen years old.”
"Stop talking nonsense. I heard that this person's body is not good.”
"That's not right. I heard that this person said yesterday that he was going to seek refuge with Commander Gu of Wen County.”
The aunties in front of him were talking at the same time, and Yan Qin heard them. He went forward to take a look. The person lying on the ground was the round-faced young man with a double chin from yesterday.
However, at this moment, his face was no longer round. His skin was so dry that it looked like it was old and withered. It was tightly stuck to his skeleton. His entire person looked exceptionally terrifying.
Ever since he came here, Yan Qin had seen corpses in the wilderness, but this was the first time he had seen such a terrifying one. He could not help but turn his head and say to Wuxin,""You're right. It seems that this inn is indeed not clean. This person obviously died abnormally.”
Wuxin nodded with a solemn expression.""You're right. This person clearly died from having his essence sucked dry. How could he die of illness? It seems like we didn't come here in vain. Big Brother, you're really good at divination. We haven't even reached Wen County and we've already received a business.”
"Are you confident?" Yan Qin asked.
Wuxin thought for a moment and said," I didn't find the Evil yesterday. It should have been during the day. The Evil didn't enter the inn. It was wandering around. The inn is very crowded. It's not easy to find the Evil's hiding place. I need to check the location."
Yan Qin took a deep breath to calm himself down and said,"Let's go and find the shopkeeper. Let's see if he can drive away this evil or not.”
Next, Yan Qin brought Wuxin to the shopkeeper of this shop.
The shopkeeper was well aware of the evil of his inn. When he heard that Yan Qin and Wu Xin knew how to catch ghosts, he immediately treated the two of them as distinguished guests and personally served them tea. He was very enthusiastic.
"No need for tea. Can you tell me when this situation started?”Yan Qin asked.
The innkeeper was a man in his forties, and he was quite straightforward. He couldn't help but put down his teacup when he heard that."It's like this. My inn has been open here for more than ten years and has always been peaceful. However, since three months ago, it has been haunted and more than 30 people have died.”
"Yes."
Yan Qin nodded." Don't be anxious. Tell me in detail. Don't let go of the details."”
Although he looked calm on the surface, Yan Qin was not.
How strange.
What was even more strange was that so many people had died, but this inn could still continue to operate. This was really inconceivable.
"It started three months ago. Three months ago, a young man in a military uniform came to stay here without a penny. I asked the waiter to kindly arrange a room, but I didn't expect this young man in a military uniform to hang himself.”
"Later on, I found out that this person was a soldier under Gu Xuanwu of Wen County. If it weren't for the fact that I could talk to Commander Gu, my inn would have been implicated. Later on, the corpse was brought back by Commander Gu, but from then on, strange things began.”
Taking in a penniless young man was a good thing in this chaotic world. Who would have thought that this young man would hang himself and cause so many disasters after hanging himself?
However, this also allowed Yan Qin to confirm one thing.
No wonder this inn could continue to operate despite the death of so many people. It turned out that the backer was Gu Xuanwu. In this world, to be able to speak to an overlord was undoubtedly equivalent to being a relative of the ancient emperor.
"Which room was the young man in the military uniform staying in? Can you take us there to take a look?"
Wuxin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. He couldn't be sure of anything after hearing the shopkeeper's words. He still had to investigate the scene.
The innkeeper immediately led the way to the guest room.
"Strange."
Wuxin frowned. This room faced south and was filled with Yang Qi. There was nothing strange about it. Even his ghostly eyes could not see anything wrong with this room.
"This room is filled with Yang energy and there is no resentment. That young man must have committed suicide. Take us to the room of the person who died last night to take a look.”
Under normal circumstances, even if there were really evil spirits killing people, they would not hide in a room with so much Yang Qi. That guy hanged himself. There should be no external interference. It was purely his own fault.
The shopkeeper immediately brought Yan Qin and the other man to the place where the incident happened last night. As soon as they entered, Yan Qin felt a cold aura and subconsciously took a step back.
This room was much colder than the previous one.
Although it was a world of ice and snow outside, this room was even colder than the outside. It gave off a creepy feeling.
"Was this room always so cold?”Yan Qin was curious.
The shopkeeper's face was pale." No, the rooms in our inn are all burning with charcoal."”
In this chaotic world, it was not easy to open an inn. The shopkeeper had some background and a lot of money. He made the rooms of the inn warm in winter and cool in summer. Even though it was opened outside Wen County, the business was still very good.
"Let me take a look."
Wuxin raised her right hand and swept it across the room. Everything hidden in the room immediately appeared before her.
Strangely, there was no Evil in the room, only some remnant resentment. However, this resentment was not enough to kill people. In other words, the Evil had been here before, but had left now.
"Where could it be?" Wuxin frowned.
"It seems that the Evil is very careful about hiding. This inn has a good business, and people usually come and go. If it really wants to hide, we won't be able to find it in a short time.”Yan Qin said.
As he spoke, Yan Qin looked around. Although the entire room was a little cold, there was nothing wrong with it. He could not find anything during the day. He could only wait until the night when the Yin Qi was heavy to check carefully.
"I'll listen to you, Big Brother." Wuxin nodded.
However, the moment he turned around to leave, Yan Qin's peripheral vision suddenly caught a very abrupt thing, causing him to subconsciously stop in his tracks.
