When the two returned to the room, they happened to meet two traveling merchants. The traveling merchants who were very arrogant yesterday were unusually friendly today and invited the two to come in and sit down. Lu Yang didn't want to have too much contact with them and bluntly refused.
After being rejected, the traveling merchant did not get angry and closed the door of the room.
The gong sounds again, and the night watchman shouts "It's the hour of Hai".
Tap, tap, tap. The sound of regular footsteps was heard in the corridor again. The waiter with dark eyes was wandering in the corridor.
The waiter knocked on the door opposite: "Sir, are you there? Please open the door."
Just when the two thought that it would be the same as last night, the peddler would refuse to open the door, and the waiter's knocking on the door would become louder and louder, reaching a deafening level.
Squeak-
The door opposite was opened.
One of the traveling merchants was shocked by his companion's actions: "What are you doing! Why are you opening the door!"
"Close the door quickly, close the door quickly!"
"Don't drag me down with you if you want to die!"
"Why can't you close the door!"
There were clearly two traveling merchants, but only one of them spoke from beginning to end. The other one did not make any sound at all, which was very strange.
"Don't come over here, ah—"
After a heart-wrenching scream from the other side, there was no more movement.
"What happened? The traveling merchants are not stupid. Why would they open the door on their own initiative?" Meng Jingzhou felt a chill in his heart.
Lu Yang pondered for a moment and thought of a possibility: "Do you remember the man who was killed by the official this morning? He came back to life and looked no different from a living person."
"The rules say that corpse movement is normal, but the rules don't say that corpses can be resurrected!"
“Is the man who died and came back to life this morning really still himself?”
Meng Jingzhou's eyes widened: "You mean... a traveling merchant has died, but his companions didn't notice?"
Lu Yang nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean!"
Meng Jingzhou's scalp tingled. Seeing the crowds of people walking on the street today, he thought not many people were killed. But now it seems that there are probably quite a few zombies on the street during the day!
There was another violent knock on the door, this time it was on Lu Yang and the other person's door.
"Help, help me quickly! The waiter is trying to kill me!"
"Open the door, open the door quickly!"
"Please be kind and save me. I can give you gold, spiritual stones, and the location of the ruins cave!"
"Don't kill me—"
Then there was the dull sound of an axe hitting flesh and bones, accompanied by the screams of the peddler.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked at each other and decided not to open the door. There was clearly no movement from the other side just now, but now they came to ask for help. It didn't seem right no matter how they thought about it. It was weird and strange.
Moreover, Lu Yang learned from the Immortal Fairy that the two merchants were not good people and there was no need to save them.
The voice of the peddler disappeared, and the waiter knocked on the door again, "Dear guests, are you there? Can you please open the door?"
"My two guests, are you there? Please open the door!"
"I told you two to open the door!"
"Open the door for me!"
Just like yesterday, the knocking on the door grew louder and louder until the entire inn could hear it.
I don’t know if it was because of the good quality of the door or the restrictions of the rules, but the waiter did not knock on the door as he wished.
Lu Yang heard the waiter coming upstairs, and he should go directly back to Room No. 1.
The monster outside the window did not appear again, and tonight was peaceful.
When leaving the inn at 9:00 the next day, Lu Yang noticed that the door of the room opposite had changed from brown to black. Two traveling merchants came out of the room, talking and laughing, and greeted Lu Yang with a smile.
Article 16: After entering the black door, do not speak or eat anything inside
Lu Yang's eyes narrowed. The two traveling merchants no longer had to abide by the normal rules.
Meng Jingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Who asked for help last night?"
The two merchants were very confused, and their expressions did not seem fake: "Help? Who asked for help?"
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were unsure of the situation of the traveling merchants, so they left in a hurry without saying anything more.
During the day today, the two men had been following the official from a distance and discovered that the official only ate one meal a day, and it had to be meat buns.
Meng Jingzhou once stole a meat bun. After opening it, he saw what looked like nails and hair inside in addition to meat.
After eating, the officials would walk on the street, driving the crowd like they were driving ducks. If someone was unlucky enough to accidentally turn his head, he would die tragically and then be resurrected.
"Did you notice that the officials went all over the town but didn't go near the private school!"
Lu Yang spread out the map, which he had drawn yesterday when he was touring the town. The map showed the crash site, inn, private school, tailor shop, pharmacy, and government office.
It’s hard to describe a map, but the good news is that you can understand what you draw.
"It seems that the rules they follow are not the same, and they are not set in stone!" Meng Jingzhou said with a smile. This is good news. It depends on how to use this news.
While walking on the street, the two men noticed a figure flashing through the thatched house through the paper window.
The rules require that you cannot return to the thatched hut or the inn before the hour of Xu. Who could be the person in the thatched hut
"It seems that there are still many rules in this town that we don't know about."
Different identities need to abide by different rules. Lu Yang feels that the ancient fusion period is really idle.
"Fairy, can you see what's going on outside? How is my master doing?"
The Immortal Fairy exclaimed in amazement: "Your master has a deep understanding of the way of the sword. He can fight four people alone without losing."
Lu Yang nodded, and he felt relieved.
The two returned to the inn, and Lu Yang wrote a line on a piece of paper and handed it to the innkeeper: Are you from outside
Meng Jingzhou watched from the side and understood what Lu Yang meant. The rules stated that locals could not reveal matters of the town to outsiders, but the innkeeper could, which meant that the innkeeper was not a local.
The innkeeper didn't expect Lu Yang to ask this question and wrote down the word "yes".
Lu Yang wrote: Ordinary person or cultivator
The boss wrote: Ninth level of Qi training.
Lu Yang wrote: How did you become the owner of an inn
The boss wrote: I can't say.
Lu Yang wrote: Do you need to follow different rules than us? What are the specific rules
The boss wrote: I abide by the rules of Buyi Town Inn, and I cannot tell you the specific rules.
Lu Yang wrote again: Do you want to leave
The boss’ right hand trembled: I want to.
Lu Yang took out his jade identity card: We two are disciples of the Wendao Sect. We accidentally came here and want to leave.
When the boss learned that they were disciples of the Wendao Sect, he became even more excited and wrote with trembling hands: What do you need
Lu Yang wrote: Take off your white clothes.
When the innkeeper saw Lu Yang's request, he was stunned at first. He didn't expect Lu Yang to make such a request.
The rules he abided by stipulated that he should try his best to meet the guests' requests within the rules, except for those that violated ethical norms, and there was no mention of not being able to take off clothes.
The innkeeper took off his white clothes and handed them to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang put away his clothes and returned to the room with Meng Jingzhou.
"We've been knocking on the door for two days. Today is our turn!" Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou smiled coldly.
There is one more update tonight, please give me a monthly ticket
