From Chapter Seven of Xuanjun

Chapter 73
It's three quarters.

In the cellar in the backyard of the Yunlai Inn, a solitary lamp flickered slightly, reflecting two gloomy faces.

"The young landlord is very dissatisfied!"

The innkeeper with a mustache said coldly: "We have made such a big mistake in our work. We mistaken Li Gui for Li Kui. If there is a next time, you and I can dig potatoes outside the pass."

Thinking of the climate of that bitterly cold place, and the barbaric methods of that Dali barbarian, the shopkeeper's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

It is a bit difficult to open a shop in Youzhou to do intelligence work, but it is better to go outside the customs and contact those Li people.

In the past few decades, Taishilou has sent hundreds of spies outside the customs, which can be said to have worked hard.But until now, Dali outside the customs is still a rather mysterious land for Taishilou.

In the end, hundreds of spies became blood-red records on the name book, and ninety-nine percent of them died outside the pass.

That master minister of Dali is really all-rounder, he is capable of both military and government affairs, and even intelligence capabilities are rare in the world.His subordinate Lichen Guard created an information barrier between Daxuan and Dali, making it difficult for news from outside the pass to enter the pass, but news from inside the pass was repeatedly intercepted and spread outside the pass.

Once sent to dig potatoes outside the customs, it is basically a dead end.

"Shopkeeper, what do you think should be done next?" the waiter asked for advice.

"What else can I do? Do less and make less mistakes, do more and make more mistakes," the innkeeper said angrily, "Now those three bald donkeys probably sensed that they are being watched, and if they want to continue collecting information, that is in Looking for death. From now on, we will be the shopkeeper and the second, and don't show any flaws. As for the young landlord... just provide daily information."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, shopkeeper." Xiaoer nodded repeatedly.

After this incident, they finally understood.Sometimes nothing is wrong, and failure to do something is more serious than doing nothing.

If they didn't report the information before, they don't need to worry about digging potatoes outside the pass now.

"By the way, shopkeeper, you said those three bald donkeys are very skilled in martial arts. Will they hear us talking in this cellar?" Xiao Er showed a worried expression again.

This place is only a straight-line distance of about twenty steps from the guest room. With the superb cultivation shown by the three monks, this distance is not a problem at all.

"Heh, do you think I was a fool for so many years in Wuqian?" The shopkeeper smiled disdainfully, "No matter how sharp your ears and eyes are, it is useless if there is no sound. There is a sound-absorbing stone embedded in the entrance of this cellar, and we can talk about it in it." No matter how loud it is, the sound cannot be transmitted to the outside, it will only be absorbed by the sound-absorbing stone. Of course, the outside cannot be transmitted to the inside.”

"You can rest assured."

However, after Xiaoer heard what the shopkeeper said, his facial expression gradually distorted, and he looked behind the shopkeeper with horror.

"Really? Then I'm relieved."

The speaking voice seemed to come from hell, with an invisible gloomy and low voice, and a figure surrounded by ghosts appeared silently behind the shopkeeper.

With disheveled hair and clothes that are windless and automatic, it is someone's invincible vest.

"Shopkeeper, your inn's business attitude is not good, not only stealing guests' private information, but also not filling the stomachs of guests."

Shen Yi looked at the two peacefully, and said, "I'm so hungry, do you know that?"

【Very hungry! 】

The wraiths around him also roared at the same time, and the thought of hunger was directly conveyed to the two of them, making them tremble like frost.

It's a bit embarrassing to say, Shen Yi just sneaked into the inn kitchen, ate up the inn's reserved cooked meat, and wanted to start with those rice noodles, raw meat and vegetables, but——

Shen Yi, he can't cook!

In his previous life, he was a poor cook who could only order takeout, and in this life, he has been eating big pot meals from Zhaitang, and it is impossible for him to know any cooking skills.Even due to the changes of the times, Shen Yi's only culinary skill - instant noodles, was ruthlessly abolished by the heavens.If he didn't want to drink blood like a primitive man, he had to starve.

At this moment, the sense of hunger once again occupied Shen Yi's spiritual high ground, and even the remnant ghosts on his body began to become brutal.

They were whistling, they were absorbing, evil spirits haunted the shopkeeper and the waiter, every trace of energy was absorbed, and Shen Yi suddenly felt that his hunger was relieved.

'What the hell? '

Shen Yi could clearly feel that this aura came from the howling and whirling Yin spirit. At this time, the Yin spirit flew to the two of them, and in the midst of circling, it actually extracted strands of pure and harmonious air, and entered the air. Inside Shen Yi's body.

'Could this be the legendary absorption of yang energy? '

Ghosts can absorb yang energy, which is recorded in most ghost stories.And yang qi is actually the vitality of the human body, and absorbing yang qi is to seize vitality.

Shen Yi was in a time of lack of vitality. Now his physique has been sublimated, and his inner energy has also undergone changes. Only vitality has paid for the sublimation and change, and most of it was consumed in the transformation like nirvana and rebirth.

The reason why he felt hungry was actually a sign of lack of vitality. All the cells in his body were eager for nutrition to supplement the consumed vitality.

Eating all kinds of food is a drop in the bucket, not enough to make up for vitality. What he really needs is the yang energy of life.

Sensing the gradually relieved state, Shen Yi looked at the two big men again, and suddenly felt sick to his stomach.

'Don't think about it, don't mess around, the vitality I absorb is not some yang qi.What the hell is this, why do I think of those female goblins absorbing yang energy. '

The originally peaceful facial expression was slightly out of control, and invisible ghost hands grabbed the shopkeeper and the waiter, frantically absorbing the vitality of the two.

The pale complexion gradually turned white, revealing a jade-like luster. The intake of vitality not only made up for Shen Yi's consumption, but also strengthened those remnant souls, which in turn strengthened the true energy of Shen Yi's lungs.

One of the merits he needs to absorb when he enters the Qi Qi Realm is these remnant souls and ghosts captured by the "Shuttering Demons and Ghosts".Shen Yi wanted to temper the remnant soul with the fire of his heart, and refine a kind of Yin spirit evil spirit to benefit himself, so as to make a breakthrough in the realm. The growth of the remnant soul and Yin spirit also means that his resources have become richer, which will naturally make Qi machine growth.

"stop!"

Just when the two were about to be sucked dry by Shen Yi...no, by the Yin spirit, the soul bodies of several Yin spirits suddenly emerged from the ground, piercing them with a flying sword.

The ice-blue flying sword that I had just seen in Fenghua Building appeared here, and the dazzling sword light shot out to kill those remnant souls.

"Zhan Meng?"

Shen Yi raised his hand to grab the photo, his five fingers exuded a cold luster, and he directly grabbed Jian Guang in his hand, and the palm of his hand rubbed against Jian Guang, making an ear-piercing sound.
