There is an inn in the sky

Chapter 507
late at night.

Pond town.

Yan Qingkong came back here again, this time without the black pottery flowerpot.

He walked casually on the street in the town, looking at the closed gate from time to time, and there were not many lights around him.

On a street, there are only three or five shops that have not closed.

Some young people gathered around the door of the store, chatting, playing cards, eating, etc...

Yan Qingkong walked silently, while playing with the little sword, thinking whether the skinny ghost was related to the door god, or why didn't he break into the house and eat people?
Knock on the door?

The ghost's head was also caught by the door?
And the skinny ghost knocked on the door, luring people out to eat... Does this mean that the door represents some kind of mysterious power?
Can this kind of mysterious power prevent skin ghosts from breaking into the house?
Moreover, after he took the skinny ghost, he suddenly popped out the "Nine Zhangs in front of the door" dish.

So, this mysterious power refers to the door god?

And "nine feet in front of the door" means that the door god can keep the nine feet in front of the door safe, so that all evil spirits and ghosts cannot enter the door?

But now, there is no door god yet, how about skinny ghosts...

Yan Qingkong was a little puzzled.

Door bogey, door bogey, does it mean to avoid the door?
Could it be... the taboo door is the characteristic of skinny ghosts?Seeing that all "doors" are forbidden to enter?Can you only lure people out by knocking on the door?
If it's just a ghost trait, what does it have to do with door gods?
There are so many evil spirits and ghosts in the world, what can a door do?Hmm, so door gods are needed to guard them?

Yan Qingkong was stunned for a moment.

Thinking too much...

You only need to make door god dishes by yourself.

But how to make door god dishes?It is precisely because he couldn't do it that Yan Qingkong returned to Pond Town and thought so much just now...

Only after a thorough analysis can we understand what a door god is.

Since you can't analyze it, and you can't study it thoroughly, then you can do it yourself and be a door god.

Yan Qingkong took a look at this town, there should be no ghosts, so he planned to change to a town with ghosts, and become the legendary door god...

Then he left the town and hurried through the night.

His figure quickly, or over the mountains, or across the river, or across the plains, and finally stopped in a small town surrounded by mountains.

This small town is called Valley Town, which is located in the valley and is smaller than Pond Town.

When Yan Qingkong came to Valley Town, he saw only sporadic lights on, and the surroundings were silent.And on that street, which is only 200 meters long, all the shops are closed, and there is no one on the cold windy street, and everyone is still asleep...

It's four o'clock in the morning.

Yan Qingkong glanced at the time, then walked around the town.

Although there is only one street, there are many alleys. It seems that everyone gathers to live in the town, but the houses are a bit old, and most of them are wooden buildings...

Soon after, it was dawn.

oh oh oh-

A rooster crowed, and the town gradually began to breathe life.

At this time, Yan Qingkong came to the Qingshi Street, and many shops had already opened, most of which were related to making breakfast, such as steamed stuffed bun shop, rice noodle shop, biscuits, etc...

"Duck blood vermicelli, it seems that I haven't eaten for a long time."

Yan Qingkong walked and looked on Qingshi Street, and found that this street was quite old-fashioned.

And the entire valley town is considered an ancient town. Although it is not well-known, some tourists come to play every day, so there are some inns on the street.

Now on the street, Yan Qingkong saw some people who looked like tourists.

The duck blood vermicelli shop is not big, there are seven or eight tables in the shop, and nearly half of the tables are already seated. Yan Qingkong walked in to have a look, and said: "Madam proprietress, let me serve duck blood vermicelli, and add some duck intestines."

"14 dollars."

The proprietress looked like she was 27, and she was clearing a table.

Yan Qingkong nodded, and sat down at a table near the door, waiting for duck blood fans, while watching the increasingly crowded streets.

"Slow use."

After a while, the proprietress brought a large bowl of duck blood vermicelli.

"Thank you."

Yan Qingkong said, and picked up a pair of chopsticks from the tube on the side of the table to eat. Then his eyes lit up, and he found that the taste was not bad. It felt like eating duck blood vermicelli for the first time.

As he was eating, he felt several pairs of eyes staring at him, and when he suddenly looked up, he saw a few girls who turned their heads in a panic.

Yan Qingkong nodded to them, then continued to eat with his head down.

"Have you heard? Last night, Lao Chen's wife left. It was a bit weird when he died..."

At the next table, an old man sighed and said, "In the past few days, more than a dozen people have died for no reason? Sigh, I don't know what happened."

"Who knows?"

Someone shook his head and answered, "It's like A Sheng, Qin Ming, Chun Hua, they are all young and healthy. They have never heard of any pain, but they died suddenly."

"I heard that when they died, they seemed to have seen something unclean." Another old man interjected, "Maybe they ran into a ghost and were killed by a ghost."

"Oh, Lao Luo, don't scare the children, what kind of ghosts are there." An old man said.

Hearing this, Yan Qingkong frowned slightly.

If I stay in a small town at will, I will encounter ghosts?
Although he said that he wanted to find a town with ghosts and experience the door god, but he didn't make a special choice along the way, he just stayed as he wanted.

At this time, he listened quietly, and found that in this small town, people died inexplicably in the past few days, basically one person a night, sometimes two or three people a night.

The deceased was not injured, nor was he poisoned.

Died inexplicably.

However, each dead face was terrified, as if they were frightened to death...

And most of them died at home.

After Yan Qingkong finished eating, he ordered another bowl, and casually asked the proprietress, "Madam proprietress, will people die inexplicably in the town at night?"

"Who did you hear?"

The proprietress asked, and then hurriedly said: "It's nothing, how could someone die inexplicably at night? The town is very safe, don't listen to people's nonsense..."

Not long after, Yan Qingkong walked out of the duck blood vermicelli shop, and then went to inquire about it.

Sure enough, in just ten days, 17 people died for no reason. When they died, their faces were terrified and their eyes were wide open...

There are also rumors in the town that it was killed by an evil spirit.

However, no one has ever seen a ghost...

In the small square under the big tree at the end of the town.

"How do you know it was a ghost? Have you ever seen a ghost?"

An old man didn't believe in ghosts, so he couldn't help but choked up, "I said, there are rumors that ghosts are harming people in the town, and people are panicking. I think you are talking nonsense..."

"I've seen it before, and the ghost came to harm me. Can you still talk to me? Talk to the ghost?" An aunt said angrily, "Then tell me, why did they die for no reason? They were all fine before... ..."

And Yan Qingkong was sitting on the stone plinth, playing chess with an old man, and basking in the warm sun by the way.If you want to inquire about news, it is best to find a place where there are many old people to sit down and blend in with the old people...

Then, whoever did what in the small town basically knows.

Or you can even find out what you ate last night...

"Xiaoyan, I misplaced my hand in a hurry just now. It wasn't..." the old man said regretfully, and regretted his move.

"Well, it's okay." Yan Qingkong said.

After a while, the old man was cornered again and said, "Xiaoyan, my granddaughter just entered the university in Zhonghai this year. I heard that it is a department flower. You are a young man. What does it mean..."

"do not know."

"Oh, you young people don't know? Then let me tell you, tie flowers means the most beautiful in the whole department. If you make me regret one step, no, three steps, I will introduce my granddaughter to you. I see you It's pretty good, with my old man on the side to make some suggestions, there is a chance..."

"..."

Yan Qingkong was speechless, he regretted more than a dozen times in one game, and even betrayed his granddaughter.

"grandfather!"

A clear and angry voice suddenly sounded from behind the old man, startling the old man.
