Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 36: A journey to die
It was already late when Tang Zheng returned to Xinglai Inn.
He did not go in directly, but took a long walk around the wall of Xinglai Inn.
After taking a walk, he yawned and walked back into the inn.
The lights were still on in the Xinglai Inn, but there were no more guests on the first floor. Most of the guests had gone back to their rooms to rest. Only two or three tables of drunkards were left, still drinking and playing finger-guessing games.
As soon as Tang Zheng's left foot stepped into the inn, his senses suddenly tensed up.
The entire inn seemed to be covered by a powerful star power!
He subconsciously turned his head and looked around.
At a table in the corner, an old man and a young boy were sitting there drinking. To Tang Zheng, they were not strangers - they had met the old man and the young boy once before when they were in the restaurant with He Tianmeng.
At that time, it was this old man who reminded Tian Meng of the consequences of the star explosion and asked him to quickly find Xiao Tanzhi, the young master of Tianyi Valley.
Tang Zheng still remembered that the arrogant boy seemed to be called Azhi.
When he came in, the old man didn't look up, still drinking his wine with his head down. But Azhi put down his wine glass, turned his head as if he had noticed something, and glanced at him, with a strange look in his eyes.
Azhi's look seemed very strange to Tang Zheng.
It wasn't the joy of meeting an old friend, nor was it the awkwardness that was unique to him, but it was as if he had seen something strange in Tang Zheng...
Tang Zheng ignored the awkward kid and just nodded at him as a greeting. Then he walked towards the shopkeeper and said in a voice that could almost shatter the floor: "I want room number nine!"
"Ah?" The shopkeeper looked hesitant.
"I want room number nine!" Tang Zheng repeated in a louder voice.
The innkeeper of Xinglai Inn was really puzzled. Wasn't this person already staying in room number 6? Why did he need room number 9?
Without waiting for him to ask, Tang Zheng directly threw up a purple gold Tongbao, and it hit the counter with a "pop".
The owner of Xinglai Inn was not someone who had never seen money, but what Tang Zheng took out was a purple gold Tongbao!
An ordinary guest room only costs one or two taels of silver. Even if the top-level room is a little more expensive, one or two taels of purple gold are enough to stay there for one or two months!
"Ah? Okay. Okay!" The shopkeeper remembered that this person was specially instructed by Tangjiabao, so he didn't ask any more questions. He hurriedly took the money and handed him the key to Tianzi No. 9.
Just as Tang Zheng was going upstairs, Ah Zhi in the corner tilted his head back, drank the wine in the glass, and snorted disdainfully: "Tsk. Him? Last time he said I was inexperienced!"
"Did he say that?" the old man smiled.
"I did!"
"Really? You remember it very clearly..."
"Grandpa Ghost, did you see that just now? He actually threw out a purple gold Tongbao and loudly announced the house number he wanted - number nine!"
"Yeah, I see."
"He has so little experience in the world, yet he still has the nerve to say that I am inexperienced. This man is really shameless!" As Ah Zhi spoke, he filled another glass for himself and drank it all in one gulp as if he was angry.
"Oh." The old man looked at Tang Zheng's back, smiling without saying anything.
…
Tang Zheng returned to the inn very late, but went to bed even later.
He turned off the lights and lay down only when he could no longer hear the drunkards playing finger-guessing games downstairs.
Just now, he took out two pieces of purple gold from his space belt and put them into the storage bag that Jubao Pavilion gave him to carry things.
A storage bag is a good thing. It is as convenient to use as a supermarket shopping bag. What's better than a supermarket shopping bag is that a supermarket shopping bag cannot reduce the weight of the things in the bag, but a storage bag only weighs so much no matter how much or how heavy the things are.
However, the price of a storage bag can probably buy several boxes of supermarket shopping bags. The worst thing is that the two types of shopping bags with such a big price difference are actually not much different in quality. They will break after a few uses.
Snap...
Tang Zheng had just turned off the lights when he heard a slight sound of a rope being tripped.
That rope is not placed in an ordinary place!
If it were an ordinary person, no matter how hard he tried to jump up, it would be difficult to touch the rope, let alone break it...
The sound is really too soft.
I'm afraid the person who tripped the rope didn't even notice the slight sound.
"Here it comes!" Tang Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled another rope at the head of the bed!
…
Bang!
The corridor on the second floor of the inn was like a mountain of wine barrels that had been knocked over. The beams on the ceiling shook and made a sound like heavy logs rolling down.
From Room No. 2, Azhi's figure rushed out. Behind him, the Blood Sea Corpse King had two bright stars that illuminated the entire corridor. The two short swords in his hands flashed a layer of dark red light.
As soon as he came out, huge spikes on the roof beam fell one by one. He turned around and ran, quickly avoiding these huge spikes. Then, he heard a loud bang like an explosion from Room No. 9!
Ah Zhi was stunned for a moment: "No way? Could it be... him this time?"
At the same time, a masked figure in black flashed in front of him, and both sides smelled an extremely dangerous aura from each other!
The two of them started fighting without saying a word!
Ding ding ding…
In just a few breaths, Azhi and the black-clothed figure had fought for more than ten rounds!
Both sides used a life-threatening fighting style, and after a while, both of them had deep and shallow wounds on their bodies...
Azhi's eyes became sharp, and he seized an opportunity. He used his left hand to pick up the long sword of the man in black. He lowered his head and jumped. The star power in his right hand surged, and a dark red star power blasted out like a burst!
Martial arts, flash attack!
At the same time, the man in black also raised his sword, and the star power surged...
The martial arts of both sides were about to collide, but suddenly Azhi felt his feet slip inexplicably, and when he looked at the masked man in black, he could not keep his balance, and the star power of both men became chaotic.
From under the door of Room No. 9, a layer of extremely slippery oil leaked out ...
"Damn, who is splashing oil everywhere..." Ah Zhi managed to steady himself with great difficulty, but his attack missed and he was extremely depressed.
Both sides jumped back at the same time and reorganized their attack.
Two people, one stood on the left side of Room No. 9, and the other stood on the right side, and the star power surged again!
Just as they stood up...
A thick poisonous fog suddenly covered the door of Room No. 9!
"Ah." Azhi failed to use his martial arts twice in a row and was about to bang his head against the wall!
As soon as he inhaled a breath of poisonous gas, he felt his right hand a little numb.
He quickly covered his mouth and nose and lowered his body.
Swish, swish, swish!
A row of hidden weapons glowing green shot out from the handrail in the corridor!
Azhi immediately lowered his body again!
Just now , in the fog, he could barely see the position of the man in black, but after dodging this round of hidden weapons, he lost the man in black's position...
Azhi gathered all his star power and closed his eyes quietly.
Only two seconds later, he clasped his two swords together, and a dark red light flashed wildly. At the intersection of the two swords, the surging star power was compressed into a ball and rushed straight towards a direction diagonally in front of him!
However, halfway through the rush, he had to interrupt himself again.
Jump up.
Because, a series of spikes burst out from under the floor...
With the way he just bent down, if he didn't react quickly enough, the row of spikes emerging from the ground would be enough to prick him like a hedgehog!
Azhi quickly took two or three steps back, went to the window at the end of the corridor, found a place with upwind, and breathed deeply.
Just now in the poisonous fog, he couldn't breathe deeply, so he could only retreat to this position...
However, there was a sudden click under his feet, and his heart almost stopped beating.
There was a sharp pain in both ankles...
An exquisite hunting trap, flashing with vast star power, clamped his feet!
At this moment, the door of Room No. 6 opened...
Tang Zheng jumped out quickly and pounced on the masked assassin in black!
"You..." Ah Zhi pointed at Tang Zheng, "You... don't live in..."
He clearly heard that Tang Zheng wanted room number nine!
But how did Tang Zheng run out from Room No. 6, which was right opposite Room No. 9?
Tang Zheng heard Ah Zhi's voice, turned around, and was also startled: "Fuck! What are you doing here?"
Before Azhi could answer, the sound of the mechanism outside the window caused his eyes to turn into one of horror.
Outside the window, a row of crossbow arrows that were powerful enough to blow a person to pieces were flashing a terrifying silver light and covering him!
"It's over." Ah Zhi's horrified eyes turned into despair in an instant...
Both of his feet are now caught in the traps!
If the sword in his hand was long enough, he could quickly cut off his legs and dodge the row of crossbow arrows to save his life.
However, he was using a two-handed dagger and could not even reach his feet.
"So this is the feeling before death..." Azhi has closed his eyes.
