Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou knew that despite the heroic behavior of Taoist Buyu, this battle was destined not to end so easily.
In fact, the best way would be for Taoist Bu Yu to take the two of them and escape from here. He did not choose to do so, which means that he had no confidence in protecting the two of them from the awakened ancient fusion period.
Lu Yang performed a set of Senior Sister's Pictographic Fist, trying to summon Senior Sister. Lu Yang found that he could not use his spiritual power and could not even transform.
Lu's pictographic fist is indeed a magic spell.
Meng Jingzhou tested his current level: "Although I can't use my magic power, my physical strength hasn't changed much."
It's good news.
"What time is it now?"
Lu Yang remembered that the second rule said that from 11:00 to 12:00 a.m., the thatched huts with closed doors and the rooms in the inn with closed doors were absolutely safe, but any other place was dangerous.
The time from Haishi to Chenshi is from 9pm to 9am.
"It was midnight when the car crashed. There is no one on the street now. Everyone must have gone home. We must find a place to stay, or go to an inn!"
There were several thatched houses with lights on nearby. Meng Jingzhou knocked on the door and said politely, "Fellow countryman, we are cultivators who have strayed into this place by mistake. Please open the door and let us stay for one night. We will definitely reward you handsomely. You can choose any gold or spiritual stone you want!"
Meng Jingzhou tried several stores in a row, but none of them were open.
Lu Yang stopped him: "Don't waste your energy. Have you forgotten the sixth rule that you must not open the door when you hear a knock? There must be more than just us in Buyi Town. There are also ordinary people. They also need to abide by the rules."
Article 19: The people of this town cannot reveal things about the town to outsiders, which shows that there are indigenous people in Buyi Town.
Meng Jingzhou wanted to say something, but he heard Lu Yang hushing and signaling for silence.
There was a tap-tat-tat sound coming from not far away. The footsteps were heavy and the breathing intervals were long and heavy, indicating that the body was very large. Judging from the frequency of the footsteps, it seemed that it had four legs, or even more. Lu Yang didn't know what kind of monster this was.
Lu Yang could even see the shadow of the monster around the corner.
"Run!" Lu Yang whispered, and he and Meng Jingzhou quickly ran away.
You cannot rashly confront such an opponent before you know his realm and ability.
The two ran in the direction of the monster, which did not notice them, and they quickly got rid of it.
The two stopped and listened quietly to the noises nearby. After confirming that there were no monsters, they walked carefully on the street and found an inn.
The inn was brightly lit. Inside, a man in white clothes was lazily lying on the counter, and two men dressed as traveling merchants were discussing which room they wanted to stay in.
"Finally found an inn. I'm so tired. Give me two first-class rooms." The traveling merchant slapped a silver ingot on the counter.
His companion quickly stopped him: "Have you forgotten what was written on that piece of paper? You can't stay in the No. 1 room!"
"Do you really believe that piece of paper?"
"It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't." The companion took the silver ingot and looked at the white paper. He felt very uneasy and thought that this town was too weird. He must leave quickly tomorrow morning.
He smiled and said to the man in white, "Please give us two ground-level rooms."
The man in white took the money and gave the other party three keys without any change. He said, "A group of people can only rent one room. There are only three keys for Room 3. I'll give them all to you."
The traveling merchant frowned. This inn was too rip-off. How could a low-end room be worth so much money
Lu Yang reminded the two: "You must abide by the rules on the white paper."
The traveling merchant's companion remembered that the rules said not to trust strangers easily. He couldn't figure out Lu Yang's intentions, so he hurried upstairs.
Just as Meng Jingzhou was about to ask for a No. 1 room, Lu Yang picked up the paper and pen on the counter and pulled Meng Jingzhou behind him.
Meng Jingzhou suddenly realized that Rule 15 was that if you have any questions inside the inn, you can ask the innkeeper, and if you have any questions outside the inn, ask the owner of the medicine shop, but you can't talk to them.
Lu Yang wrote on the paper: Are you the owner of this inn
The boss wrote: Yes.
Lu Yang took out a silver ingot and wrote: Open a No. 1 room where no one has died.
The boss took out three keys with "Room No. 4" written on them.
The two looked at each other and walked to the second floor. They noticed that there were ten rooms on the second floor, eight of which had black doors, and only Room 3 and Room 4 were brown.
Room No. 3 belongs to the traveling merchants, and Room No. 4 belongs to them.
The two walked in and waited until they sat on the bed before they breathed a sigh of relief and noticed their heartbeats were beating very fast.
"Hasn't your family ever told you about this kind of thing?" Lu Yang asked.
"Not at all. I didn't even know that the ability of the Fusion Stage is to modify reality and set rules. I see that the elders in my family who are in the Fusion Stage spend their days raising birds, growing flowers, fishing, and cursing on the street. They don't seem like people who have such abilities!"
Lu Yang deeply agreed with this. He also didn’t realize that the elder of the Wendao Sect was so powerful.
If he were to say that the senior sister had this ability, he would believe it.
At least the level is consistent with the ability.
There were footsteps, very light, probably someone.
There was a knock on the door from the other side, the voice was gentle and the attitude was very humble: "Sir, are you asleep? The boss accidentally gave you all three keys. Can I open the door? Here is a freshly prepared dinner, free of charge. Please open the door and I will bring it to you!"
The guest in Room 3 was not stupid. He knew that this was strange, so he followed the rules and did not respond to the other party.
Seeing that the guest did not open the door, the other party knocked on the door louder and louder, until the whole corridor could hear the knocks.
"Sir, open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"I told you to open the door, did you hear me?"
"Believe it or not, I smashed this door!"
The other party took off his disguise and knocked on the door violently. Fortunately, the door was of high quality and was not hammered open.
Seeing that the merchant was not fooled, the other party changed back to his original gentle tone: "Then I'll put the food at the door."
The traveling merchant still did not respond.
The other party used the same old trick and knocked on the door of Lu Yang and the others. It was gentle at first, but then the sound became louder and louder, and he became less and less able to conceal his true nature.
Still no one was fooled.
Footsteps were heard and the other party left.
"No, the footsteps are too short. It doesn't sound like it's going downstairs or upstairs. It's still on the second floor!" Lu Yang felt a chill in his heart.
He imagined a scene in his mind: the other party was holding the wall with both hands, hiding at the top, waiting for the peddler to relax and secretly open the door to get food, and then he would drop from the sky and pounce on the other party...
I don’t know if the merchant had the same idea as Lu Yang or if he was just cautious by nature and had no intention of opening the door.
"Go to sleep." Meng Jingzhou yawned. The rules stated that one must go to bed before midnight, which is before 11 o'clock at night.
He took out a quilt from the cupboard, spread it on the floor, and slept under it.
Then he blew out the candle, and the room became dark. The thin moonlight outside shone into the room through the paper window.
Meng Jingzhou looked out the window and his heart stopped.
A black figure appeared outside the window, swaying from side to side, as if clinging to the windowsill and stretching his neck hard to look inside.
The problem is that this is the second floor, how tall is the other party? !
"Check if the window is locked!" Lu Yang shouted suddenly. He remembered that the rules said that the window could not be opened!
After coming in, they were only concerned with locking the door and forgot about the windows. They didn't even know whether the windows were closed or locked!
The two men moved very quickly and found that the window was indeed not locked. They quickly locked it before the other party knocked on the window.
My heart started pounding as I saw the human-like shadow outside through the window.
The two of them spent the first night safely.
