Volume 2: Buddha's Hand Saves All Living Things, Subdues Demons and Attains Bodhi Chapter 90: The Soul-Catching Inn
"Haha, I didn't expect that Ghost Prince also has troubles."
The Goddess of Bliss had been laughing for almost half a cup of tea.
Especially when she heard that Du Lei did not act according to the instructions, she felt gloating instead.
After all, it was Li Muchan who always liked to use gold and silver to pave the way, and he always looked like he had everything in his hands, as if nothing in the world could stump him.
The goddess of bliss said with a smile, "Young master, be careful. Be careful of Du Lei. He also uses a knife, and his knife can move wind and thunder. There are only a handful of people in the martial arts world who are faster than his knife. And you are a famous person now, on the list."
Li Muchan seemed to be interested: "What list?"
"The List of Celebrities in Jianghu," Kong Que was already drinking tea. He drank the tea carefully, first testing each one with a silver needle, and then taking a sip. "Back then, when the Weapon List reappeared in the martial arts world, you were ranked ninth, but later you were crossed out because of your status as a member of the Demon Sect. But recently, the Qinglong Society has listed all the people in the world on the list, and created the List of Celebrities in Jianghu, with a total of 49 people. Including Fu Hongxue, Ye Kai, Shangguan Xiaoxian, as well as the descendants of the seven weapons and the descendants of various families."
He smacked his lips and took a few sips, not showing any signs of wanting to die. "It is said that this list was compiled by 'Bai Xiaosheng'."
"Isn't Bai Xiaosheng dead?" said the Goddess of Bliss.
Peacock said: "'Bai Xiaosheng' is just a title. If one dies, there will be another one to inherit the title."
Li Muchan was a little curious, "Then where am I ranked?"
Peacock's eyes flickered: "Fifth...it seems like you don't care at all."
"Is it worth my concern?" Li Muchan smiled, took a cup of tea, and took a sip. "It's just a small name. Since we are chasing between life and death, why not be a little greedy? If you want to be famous, then be famous. Either you die or you swallow up the world."
"Shangguan Xian'er," but he suddenly frowned again, as if thinking about something, and whispered softly: "I didn't expect that Shangguan Xiaoxian actually has a little-known sister."
For some reason, when Li Muchan heard the words "Shangguan Xian'er", he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
It was just like facing Shangguan Xiaoxian. Every time he met her, he was always in danger, always unlucky, and always being plotted against.
The room suddenly became silent, which made people feel uncomfortable. The goddess of bliss coaxed Ye'er and asked, "Sir, what are you thinking about?"
Li Muchan suddenly laughed again: "I was wondering who took Shangguan Xian'er away. Gongsun Tu traveled across the desert, and his Qinggong skills were rare in the world. It turned out that someone could take someone away quietly from under his nose. This person might be an old acquaintance."
Then he saw a familiar face.
No, it's two.
"Oh, it's true that we meet everywhere in life. We meet again, but your affectionate behavior in broad daylight is a bit immoral and not good."
Li Muchan sat by the window, his black robe and white skin made him very eye-catching. Outside the window was an ancient road that led to Peacock Villa, or a market town. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, making this originally deserted place a lot more lively.
He was on the second floor and saw the two people downstairs looking up at him.
Ye Kai's eyelids twitched. He had a deep impression of Li Muchan, but he felt very strange. This person was like a disaster star. Whenever he bumped into him, something big would happen nearby, and it would be an earth-shattering event.
Ding Linglin blushed and spat, "What do you care? You were hugging and kissing in Lengxiang Garden last time. You have no shame..."
She didn't speak loudly, but muttered quietly, like a child making a fuss.
Li Muchan's eyes gradually darkened. He looked at the purple-clothed woman following behind Ding Linglin. If nothing unexpected happened, the one who tried to intercept someone must be Ye Kai.
And if this woman is really Shangguan Xiaoxian's sister, she is valuable enough even without the Peacock Feather.
Noticing his gaze, Ding Linglin had already protected the other person behind her, and then responded with a pretended fierce expression.
Li Muchan laughed. He took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Master Ye, there is no need to look. The inn and restaurant are all full. Besides, this is the only place to rest within 30 miles."
Ye Kai's cheeks twitched, and he smiled helplessly, leading the horse and walking in.
Not long after the three of them entered the inn, a group of people suddenly rushed over on horseback on the long street, with their horses' hooves creating billowing clouds of smoke. The leader was the handsome young man who had revealed Li Muchan's palm technique last night, followed closely by several other riders, including a group of beautiful maids and the owner of the "Overlord Spear". Their momentum was so great that everyone looked at them sideways.
The group of people went straight to the inn, but just as they were about to step into the inn, they were stopped by a big man with scars all over his face.
It was Gongsun Tu.
Gongsun Tu stood with his arms folded, holding two hooks, and smiled grimly. The ugly centipede-like scar immediately twisted.
Master Fox Fur asked in surprise, "Are you the 'Immortal Eagle' Gongsun Tu?"
Gongsun Tu asked coldly: "Are you Yan Nanfei?"
Mr. Fox Fur's expression also turned cold: "Why are you stopping me?"
Gongsun Tu lowered his two hooks, opened his eyes wide, and shouted, "Because the owner of this inn didn't tell you to come in, get out of here."
Mr. Fox Fur held the "Rose Sword" in his hand, his eyes narrowed: "But Ye Kai can go in."
Gongsun Tu grinned and said, "Are you worthy enough to compete with Xiao Li Fei Dao?"
Mr. Fox Fur's eyes showed murderous intent: "Then I don't mind changing my master."
Gongsun Tu said expressionlessly: "Just you?"
Mr. Fox Fur asked coldly, "Who is your master?"
Just as the two were at loggerheads, a gentle voice floated from the second floor: "If he wants to come in, just let him in. It's three thousand taels per person per night. If you can afford the price, you can come in."
Yan Nanfei's face turned grim. He had recognized the voice: "Why? This is Qiu's property. You..."
Li Muchan poked his head out and said with a smile, "Because I bought this inn after Ye Kai came in. From now on, the price will increase every hour. It's three thousand taels now, and it will be five thousand taels later."
Yan Nanfei swallowed the words that came to his lips. He laughed angrily, then took a box from the maid, took out a stack of banknotes, stuffed it into Gongsun Tu's hand, and said angrily: "Let's go in."
Li Muchan smiled at Gongsun Tu and ordered, "Don't stop anyone who wants to come in later. Just give him money. It doesn't matter if he is from the Money Gang or the Azure Dragon Society, or even from the Peacock Villa."
"I understand."
Gongsun Tu already understood in his mind that it seemed that these people came for Shangguan Xian'er and even more so for the "Peacock Feather".
Sure enough, just as the sun was about to rise, at least eleven groups of people had arrived at the market, which had seemed quite deserted a moment ago.
These people could only wait and watch from outside. Since the restaurant and inn were full, they sat on the roadside and lay on the trees. Even the number of street vendors increased a lot, and all their eyes were fixed on this inn.
"Ah, that seems to be 'Snake Whip' Ximen Rou. He has also become a member of the Money Gang." Someone suddenly exclaimed.
I saw several horses galloping on the ancient road, all dressed in apricot-yellow tight clothes. The one in the lead had a thin and green face, eyes like sharp swords, and a soft black whip like a black python coiled around his waist. He was tall and thin, and never smiled .
This is the "Whip God" Ximen Rou, who was ranked seventh on the "Weapon List" back then.
But what was surprising was that there were two people following this man, walking side by side, both holding swords in their arms, and exuding a cold aura.
"Hiss, the sword held by the man on the left seems to be the sword of the great swordsman 'Xue Yingzi' from the past. That is the magic weapon of the 'Tianshan Sword School'."
"The man on the right is dressed like someone from the Hidden Sword Villa. Is that the Love-stealing Sword in his hand? Could he be the descendant of the Hidden Dragon Old Man? I never thought that after You Longsheng, there would still be someone from this family who would set foot in the martial arts world."
"The dozen or so behind are also extraordinary, with steady steps and long breaths, they are all masters of internal martial arts."
In a blink of an eye, the group of more than ten people had taken the silver bills and filed into the inn.
A group of people were shocked. They didn't know how many of those who went in would come out alive. This was not an inn at all, it was clearly the King of Hell's Palace. Everyone was seeking death by paying money.
Some of them were sending messages from time to time, and had secretly surrounded the entire inn.
As time passed, it was almost noon.
Everyone shuddered suddenly, and saw a lame shadow at the end of the ancient road extending from the horizon.
Fu Hongxue!!
