Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 507: Yuelai Inn, Weird Old Man
"I'm coming."

In Qianlan City, Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo looked at each other and stepped back.

Just when Lei Wujie noticed something unusual, there was a noise in the house. They didn't believe such a coincidence.

"Squeak!"

The wooden door was opened, and an old man opened it. He was about fifty or sixty years old, with a gray beard, a thin body, a short shirt, and sleepy eyes, as if he had just woken up.

Tang Lian looked at the man in front of him carefully. There were calluses on his hands, mainly on the fingers and palms. His steps were weak and his qi and blood were severely depleted.

There are actually a lot of people like this in the world. They are all poor people who do hard work to make a living.

"Senior brother??"

Sikong Qianluo looked at Tang Lian, as if asking what they should do now?
Tang Lian shook her head, signaling the two not to act rashly.

"You guys want to stay in the hotel?"

The old man seemed to have just seen them and looked towards Tang Lian and the others.

"Young man, what are you doing?"

However, when he saw Lei Wujie, he subconsciously took a step back, as if he was frightened.

"Lei Wujie."

Tang Lian first glanced at the old man, and seeing that he did not look fake, she shouted to Lei Wujie. After all, they were here to stay in the hotel, not to cause trouble.

When Lei Wujie heard Tang Lian's words, he retracted his heart sword, but because of what happened before, he still did not let down his guard towards the old man who came to open the door.

Lei Wujie, who had experienced a lot of things, did not ask without authorization why a person with blood eyes suddenly appeared in the lobby.

"Young man, it's because Qianlan City has been in too much chaos recently. Every one or two days, a group of people disappear in the city, causing panic in the entire city. Most of the powerful people have left with their families."

At this point, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

The expressions of Tang Lian and the others changed slightly. They got another piece of news from the old man, not very good news. The situation in the city was more serious than they had imagined.

"Father, is there no one from the government to take care of it?"

The three of them asked as they walked into the inn.

Lei Wujie's eyes were always on the window he had just seen. He was sure that he was not dazzled.

"You are joking, young man. The government is too busy to take care of itself at this time. The detectives were still patrolling the city at the beginning, but since the detectives disappeared a few days ago, no one dared to come out of the city when it got dark."

"We dare not open the door of our inn at night. Today, a Taoist priest came to the inn and made a lot of noise. He also smashed a lot of tables and chairs. We just cleaned up the mess. Otherwise, our inn would have turned off the lights early."

Tang Lian and the other two looked at each other.

Taoist priest?

This is generally a respectful title given to Taoists by people in the martial arts world. However, in their impression, Taoists generally would not deliberately bring misfortune to ordinary people. Why did they come to Qianlan City and bring misfortune to their inn?

"Hey, did that Taoist priest say which mountain he's from? My family is a bit well-known in the martial arts world. When we meet him, I'll help you vent your anger."

Since entering the inn, Sikong Qianluo has been looking around the lobby. The place was very clean and the tables and chairs were rearranged. This was no different from what Lei Wujie had just said.

"Brother, what are you doing there?"

After seeing Lei Wujie come in, he went in another direction, and Sikong Qianluo called out. The old man turned around and looked in the direction of Lei Wujie, and saw that he was holding his stomach and his face was not looking good, so he sighed.

"Are you looking for a toilet?"

Lei Wujie nodded quickly.

"Master, that's right. People have three urgent needs, and I can't hold it in any longer."

When Tang Lian heard this, he subconsciously looked at Sikong Qianluo. Seeing that the other party nodded imperceptibly, he guessed that the two of them were just acting in collusion.

"The toilet is in the backyard, go out the east gate, and it's on the west side of a tree. Wait a moment, young man. I'll get you a lamp."

After saying this, the old man lifted the door curtain and went to the back.

Sikong Qianluo gave Lei Wujie a look, and Tang Lian looked over at the same time. This place was too weird, so it was never too careful.

Lei Wujie nodded. He had just looked at the place near the window. Although it had been cleaned up, there were still some clues left.

Lei Wujie raised his hand and stretched it towards the two of them.

Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo were stunned. What was Lei Wujie doing? Was he scared silly?
But soon the two of them knew what Lei Wujie meant.

I saw a very thin hair in Lei Wujie's hand. The hair was gray, similar to that of an old man.

"Junior brother, was what you just saw real?"

Tang Lian frowned. If what Lei Wujie saw before was true, did the old man who just opened the door know about this? What role did this old man play in it?
Lei Wujie didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Young man, Qianlan City is not safe at night. After you go to the toilet, come back quickly. Your room has been arranged. It's upstairs. There are three rooms available."

The old man came in from behind holding an oil lamp in his hand, with his other hand placed next to the flame to block the wind.

Tang Lian shook her head, and Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie slowly loosened their hands and did not take action directly.

Tang Lian gave Lei Wujie a look, and Lei Wujie smiled awkwardly.

"Old man, it's different outside than inside. It's ok for you to block the wind like this inside, but the wind is strong outside. If I take it out like this, I'm afraid the oil lamp will be blown out before I can take two steps."

The old man shook his head.

"Young man, when I say so, I'll just let you take it out like this."

After saying this, the old man took out a glass cover from the side, covered the oil lamp with it, and then handed it to Lei Wujie with a smile.

"By the way, the shopkeeper has fallen asleep. His room is in the backyard. Be careful when you go there later. He has a bad temper."

At this point the old man sighed again.

"If not for what happened in Qianlan City these days, the shopkeeper wouldn't be like this. He is a kind person."

When Tang Lian, Sikong Qianluo and others heard this, they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but they couldn't tell where exactly.

"You two, follow me up first!"

The old man closed the door of the inn again, gave Lei Wujie a few simple instructions, and then took Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo to the second floor.

"If you need anything at night, just shout. The old man is downstairs and can usually hear you. But if this lady needs to go to the toilet, it's better to call these two young men."
