Out of sight of the Situ brothers and sisters, Wan Qiliang walked to a less crowded place, and finally came to a teahouse on the outskirts of the city. Seeing that the decoration looked good, he pulled a gauze scarf from somewhere and covered his face. He walked in with small steps.
As soon as Wan Qiliang entered the teahouse, she felt someone looking at her. It wasn't like the probing gaze coming from the lobby, but like the feeling of prey being targeted by a hunter. Wan Qiliang sat down without leaving a trace. In the most remote corner of the lobby, I discovered that there were almost no women here, they were all men. No wonder there were so many people with malicious intentions.
"鉉." Wan Qiliang called softly, and then he appeared next to her without anyone noticing. When others saw a man who appeared out of thin air, the first thing they felt was that he had great martial arts skills, and the second thing they felt was that he was very powerful. It turned out that he was her flower protector, which made some self-aware people retract their gaze.
"Do you know why this place is so weird?" Wan Qiliang asked. It's not that she is timid, but this place is always filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Everyone's face seems to be pale to varying degrees. In her opinion, It was definitely a kind of illness, and she had been sitting here for so long, and no one came to greet her at all. There was only a man in a black robe at the door who kept moving the abacus. Looking at his clothes, maybe he was the accounting room here. Or the shopkeeper, but no matter who he was, would he not even look up with no curiosity towards a person like her who came suddenly? So it's really weird.
Jie shook his head, his expression solemn. Although he was not a native of Xintang, the headquarters of Rosemary Pavilion was here, and he had only lived here for about five or six years, but he had never known that there was a teahouse here. , and the master must have noticed that although the people here felt that they had no contact with each other, the auras emanating from them were surprisingly consistent, and even their movements were almost the same, as if they were controlled by something. Very unusual indeed.
Wan Qiliang didn't expect that the place she accidentally encountered might have such a troublesome background. I really don't know if she is too lucky or too unlucky, but once she comes, she will make peace with it. But apart from the ones on every table Apart from a pot of tea, there is nothing to satisfy her hunger. Is it possible that she has to rely on herself
Zhi seemed to understand what Wan Qiliang meant, and poured her a cup of tea. Then he walked to the counter, and when he saw no response from the person standing, he lightly knocked on the table a few times.
The man with the abacus finally raised his head, but this raise really startled the dignified seven-foot-tall man Xi. He had no eyeballs, and was so hollow that only two grooves were left. He could still vaguely see what was going on. The dark red color of the slowly decomposing carrion seemed to remind others that his eyes had just been gouged out. The second time he looked at it, he almost vomited because he seemed to see insects crawling in the hole. , but if you look closely, the cyan blood vessels are very obvious.
"Excuse me… "
Before Xie finished asking, the man spoke, "The third room on the left on the second floor." Then he lowered his head inexplicably and continued to fiddle with his abacus, paying no attention to anyone.
Wan Qiliang saw clearly what was happening at the counter. When the man raised his head, she couldn't help but tremble. It was not excitement but fear. The fear emanating from her heart did not contain a trace of falsehood. She had never seen anyone before. After giving her such a feeling, she didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with that man, so she gave him a wink to come back.
"Pavilion Master, this... what should I do?" The embarrassment appeared on Zhi's face. This place was really weird and cold, as if there was no human touch at all. There were so many people in the lobby, but they were all so quiet. It was like a dead person. You couldn't even hear the sound of the teacup being put on the table. It was so quiet that it made your skin crawl all over, as if there was a sinister wind going straight into your heart.
"Just go to the room he mentioned and have a look." Curiosity killed the cat. She knew this truth, and she could even predict that her curiosity would never bring any good results, and she might even risk her life here along with the sprites. , but she just wanted to see what exactly this place was and why it could make people feel complete fear in their hearts.
"Pavilion Master, must you really think about it?" Xiao hesitated a little. This place is too weird. It seems that staying here is like walking on the road to hell. He is doomed to fall into a place of eternal destruction, and may also have to endure the cold eyes of others.
"If you don't want to go with me, you can go outside and guard me. I'm not sure whether I will die here." What Wan Qiliang said was not deceptive at all. She was sitting next to the window. But I couldn't see anyone passing by at all, and I couldn't even hear the sound of horse hooves. Logically speaking, although this was the outskirts of the city, it wouldn't be so remote and deserted. But except for the people in the teahouse, I couldn't see anyone. The figure, if that wasn't weird enough, was really weird.
"Xi is the guard of the Pavilion Master, so naturally he must protect the Pavilion Master." He can't do anything to back down. That's not his temperament, and it's also his extremely contemptuous style. There's no way he can leave Wan Qiliang alone. Here, if something really happened, how would he explain it to the old pavilion master? It would not be a pity to let him die a thousand times or ten thousand times.
He is a loyal master. Although he may have complaints against her, he still does everything she asks him with all his heart. For example, he could have abandoned her today, but in fact, he did not do that.
The two people went up the stairs, which made a creaking sound, as if it had been in disrepair and could not bear the weight of the two of them. But even with such a harsh sound, no one in the lobby raised their heads and glanced here. Except for the moment Wan Qiliang came in, no one paid attention to them. But looking at them, they were just sitting there. There, I really don’t know how good their location is.
The first, second, and third rooms on the left are right here. They look no different from other houses, but why did the eyeless man choose such a place for them.
Wan Qiliang opened the door and was greeted by the aroma of food, but they didn't smell it at all outside the door. People who practice martial arts have higher senses than ordinary people, but they really didn't know anything just now. Could it be that they didn't know anything just now? That the aroma of this food can only be smelled when the door is opened
The two people entered the room and just stood there. The furnishings in the room were the same as those in other inns, but why were they all in the same white color? It looked like a mourning hall. In other words, the mourning hall was not as depressing as here. It felt like they were almost out of breath, so they had no choice but to push the door open. As a result, the door could not be opened at all. No matter how much force they used and how much internal force they exerted, the door never moved. Even the windows turned into iron walls, but they still could not open the door. The paper on the good windows can be pierced, so that they will not really suffocate to death in this environment.
Now it was too late to realize that something was wrong. In fact, neither of them closed the door, but their attention was all on the food in front of them. They did not notice the movements behind them, so they could only become like this imprisoned person. look.
"This teahouse is really weird. I'm the one who got you into trouble this time." It's useless to say any words of comfort at this time. Then he said it more harshly. Since Xi worked hard for the master of Rosemary Pavilion, he would have expected it. There was such a day, but it was a pity that no one could protect anyone this time. The sprite and Wan Qiliang suffered in vain.
"My subordinate is incompetent. Please forgive me, Lord." It is naturally impossible for Zhi to place the blame on Wan Qiliang. Regardless of the fact that she is his master, in his knowledge, there has never been a woman who needs to be a man. The concept of taking the lead, no matter what happens, women should stand behind men and enjoy their protection honestly to achieve a win-win situation.
"What are you doing kneeling on the ground? There is gold under the man's knees. You don't have to wrong yourself like this." Wan Qiliang felt like he was like those weird uncles who kidnapped and trafficked women from good families. He didn't mean what he said, but he changed his tone when he said it. Son, it seems that she bullied the demon very thoroughly.
Zhi was helped up by Wan Qiliang, "The first priority is to think of a way to leave here. This place is really not suitable for staying for a long time." Wan Qiliang walked back and forth for a few steps, thinking about what kind of thing could make everyone become This foolish look also attracted her to come here to die.
"There is no way to open the door or window no matter what. If there is any mechanism in this room, maybe we can get out." After saying that, the two people started to do things in someone else's teahouse that looked a lot like sneaking around. But the result of the matter really made them sad. There was no mechanism at all in this room. Everywhere was actually there, such as the walls, the bed... They checked them one by one. There was no problem, and in the end they gave up the idea of looking for the mechanism again.
The two sat at the table facing each other without saying a word. Wan Qiliang was wondering where this place was. Maybe she discovered this place just because she took the less traveled road and was detained by Qiu Jin. If she told anyone, she would definitely be laughed out of her master, so in order to prevent it from happening Her unscrupulous master was laughing so hard that she had to rack her brains to get out of here.
And all Xie wants to do is protect Wan Qiliang's safety. This place is more dangerous than any place he has ever been to. He instinctively hates this place. It has nothing to do with the atmosphere it creates, and it has nothing to do with seeing the eyeless man. It has nothing to do with his hostility. What is relevant is that the new master of Rosemary Pavilion died suddenly not long after he took office. If this news spreads, he will definitely become a laughing stock among his colleagues. After all, his colleagues are enemies, and there is no one who would be willing to see him. The enemy is intact. If you can't help yourself, let others destroy it.
As night gradually fell, what happened next made Wan Qiliang suddenly realize that this was just the beginning...
