After crossing the river, Fahai headed south. However, after walking for half a day, he did not see any towns or villages.
At this time, the sky was already dark.
It was not suitable for traveling in the mountains.
Fahai decided to find a random place to rest and meditate for the night.
In any case, with his current cultivation, he was already flawless and impervious to cold and heat. Even if the wind, frost, rain, and snow hit him, he would not feel any discomfort.
"Hmm? There seems to be a light ahead?"
Suddenly, a dim light appeared in the night.
Fahai looked up and saw an inn by the mountain road in the distance.
"Where did this inn come from? "Moreover, with my naked eye, I can see everything within a hundred miles. When the sun set, there was nothing on that hill. Now that night has fallen, an inn has appeared out of thin air.”
Fahai frowned.
He immediately activated his magic power.
Golden light flickered in his eyes.
On the hill in front of him, demonic qi soared into the sky. There was a pile of bones. There was no inn. It was clearly a mass grave.
"How dare you do such a thing to confuse everyone? I want to see just what kind of monster you are!”
He snorted coldly.
Fahai held his staff and rose up. Wind arose under his feet and he instantly crossed a distance of several hundred feet.
He went straight to the front of the inn.
"Guest, the journey is tiring. Quickly sit inside and rest your feet!”
A wizened waiter walked out and greeted him with a smile.
Fahai looked over, his eyes like lightning.
He saw through the waiter's disguise at a glance.
It had big eyes and a long tongue. It turned out to be a toad spirit.
"This beast's magic power is weak, and it needs to rely on illusions to confuse the world. This inn is not something it can create, so it must be a small character.”
Fahai remained calm.
He could kill such a small demon with a single glance.
However, if he alarmed the demon inside and let it escape, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Thus, he restrained his aura, nodded, and followed the waiter into the inn.
It was different from how cold and cheerless she had imagined.
The inn was unexpectedly lively.
As far as the eye could see, dozens of tourists were sitting in groups of three to five, eating meat, drinking wine, and chatting. It was a lively scene.
"Little Master, although our inn is remote, it's famous in all the villages. Business travelers will stay here. You've come to the right place."
The waiter said with a smile.
Fahai smiled.
He sat down calmly and asked the waiter to serve a table of good wine and dishes.
The waiter wasn't very intelligent, so he didn't hesitate. He immediately agreed and went to prepare the dishes.
"A vile creature is a vile creature. If it was a normal human, they would definitely ask in surprise when they saw a monk like me ordering food and wine, but it didn't understand.”
Fahai shook his head.
He then swept his gaze across the surroundings, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
He looked around and saw that all the living beings in the inn were corpses and human skin. Their blood essence had long been sucked away, and they were now like leather puppets controlled by the demon's magic power.
"Hmm? There's actually someone else?"
Fahai suddenly noticed a corner not far away.
There, a woman in red was sitting in front of the window.
She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a delicate face and a valiant bearing. She held a seven-star sword in her hand. It was extremely sharp, and there were faint fluctuations of magic power circulating on it.
"A cultivator?"
Fahai raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect to meet other cultivators in the Demon Ghost Inn.
This woman was young but she had some skills.
His aura was long and his mana was thick and stable. It was obvious that he cultivated the orthodox mental cultivation method of the Xuanmen Sect and should be from a famous sect.
However, he was still a little young and his realm was not high.
It was only the kind that had just reached the Foundation Establishment realm. It was still possible to deal with a few small demons. If they encountered demons that were more than three hundred years old, it would probably be difficult to resist.
"Where did this monk come from?"
The woman seemed to have sensed something and turned around. She glanced at Fahai and frowned.
She could tell that Fahai was human.
However, it was impossible to tell that he had any cultivation or magic power.
He treated them as ordinary monks passing by.
So he opened his mouth to remind him," Monk, this isn't a place you can come to. Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, your life will be in danger."”
She had good intentions.
Fahai smiled and put his palms together.""This Penniless Monk has just passed through this place and is really tired. I appreciate your kindness.”
"Up to you."
The woman in red shook her head.
She had already warned him out of goodwill, but the monk didn't seem to know how dangerous this place was, so she couldn't say anything more.
At this moment, the waiter returned.
He carried a large plate of sliced beef and a jar of wine to Fahai's table.
"Sir, please enjoy your meal!"
Fahai looked at the beef and wine. They were all formed by magic power.
He didn't mind. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
He did not forget to pour himself a glass of wine and gulped it down.
The red-robed woman couldn't help but frown when she saw his attitude and said,""Monks have nothing to do with the four elements and abide by the rules.”
It wasn't that she was being nosy.
Instead, the food and wine were all formed from the magic power of demons. Although they tasted delicious, they were all poisonous.
After eating it, mortals would fall into a deep sleep and their blood essence would be sucked by demons.
She was deliberately reminding him.
Fahai knew her intention, but he didn't stop.
He had been cultivating in the Golden Mountain Monastery for three years. He had been in seclusion in the illusion and had almost forgotten the taste of food.
Although his current cultivation was heaven-defying and he could devour spirit energy, he was still able to devour spirit energy.
But in the end, it was still inevitable that he would have a craving for food.
As he ate, he smiled and said," The Buddhist precepts are because mortals have too many desires and are unable to control themselves. Therefore, they must be void of all four elements to prevent their desires from messing up their hearts. This Penniless Monk's Buddhist heart has been set, and he can be considered to have some Dao attainments. His mortal desires are unshakable, so these precepts naturally become restrictions.”
"As the saying goes, seek freedom, but not freedom. To be free, to be free. What is freedom? My heart is Buddha's heart. Now that good wine and good food are in front of me, how can I waste it?”
He spoke with assurance.
There was a great Zen in his words.
Unfortunately, the woman in red did not understand.
She only felt that he was a wine and meat monk who was trying to excuse her, so she couldn't be bothered to care anymore.
He thought that after this monk finished eating, he would probably fall asleep and the demon hidden in the dark would definitely appear.
When the time came, he would make a move and kill the demon. He could also save this monk's life.
Who could guess who this woman was? It's not an original.
