Chapter 130 The Darkness of Jianghu
Chapter 130 The Darkness of Jianghu
They had no idea how the other party acted, and they were afraid that they might be possessed by evil spirits like Liu Daxiong and the others!
After the people who went upstairs to watch left, only some guests on the third floor occasionally took a curious look, but they did not dare to get close to there. They were very wary and alert. If they needed to go downstairs, they would take a detour. Fortunately, the inn was big enough, with a staircase on the east and west sides for going up and down.
After this incident, the entire third floor fell silent. After the tenants on the second floor learned about the situation, they became much quieter so as not to disturb the people upstairs. However, the people in the lobby on the first floor became excited and discussed what was happening upstairs excitedly.
"When Liu Erxiong came down earlier, I said he was possessed by an evil spirit, but you all said otherwise. Look, now even Liu Daxiong has been possessed by an evil spirit and is being used as a guard dog!"
"Tsk tsk! I don't know how that guy did it. We only heard Liu Daxiong roar twice after he went up, and then there was no movement. We didn't even get a chance to fight!"
"Could this be a method used by the immortals? I heard that the immortal disciples are quite good at dealing with evil spirits. Perhaps they can control it!"
"Hmph~ Immortal Sect? It's just a name. Look at those Immortal Sects in Lingcheng. How powerful were they once boasted about? Weren't they easily wiped out by the government a while ago?"
"Hehe~ Indeed, I ran into the Tiesha Gang today. I heard they took out a group of fleeing immortal sect disciples last night. They were said to be from the famous Taiyi Sect and Baishi Sect. I saw them grinning from ear to ear. Wow~ They definitely made a killing!"
"No way, so awesome? Anyone who can escape from the clutches of the government should be quite skilled, how could he be so incompetent?"
"Hey~ They might not be good at fighting. They might be some inferior outer disciples. They were lucky enough not to be there when the government raided their homes?"
"However, these immortal sects were wiped out by the government at such a speed that they couldn't move a finger. They didn't even have any effective means of resistance."
"Then you don't know. It is said that when the government first encircled and suppressed the rebellion, in addition to the majority of officials, they also dispatched a large number of garrison troops to assist. Such a large-scale operation would be too much for anyone to handle!"
"Tsk tsk~ I heard the reason for the encirclement and suppression was that those immortal sects were raising evil corpses. I don't know if that's true or not, but it seems they are quite knowledgeable about evil magic and may be using evil spirits to harm people. Back to the point, I think that person upstairs, if he is not a disciple of the immortal sect, then he must be a master of evil magic!"
"Indeed, I've traveled extensively for many years, and I've never seen anything so bizarre. This method is truly powerful, and they took down a whole group of people silently!"
"Hmph~ That's just because you're not very knowledgeable. I heard that many witch tribes in the small countries in the southwest have similar methods. Isn't that right, Zhao Laoxie?"
When his name was mentioned, Zhao Laoxie smiled and said nothing. He poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
Seeing that he had no intention of interrupting the conversation, they continued chatting, but after a while, someone else came down from upstairs. When they saw the person, they suddenly fell silent.
He is from Ning.
He came down with the medicine bag and wanted to personally boil the medicine for Si He and prepare some food.
"Sir, sir...is there anything I can help you with?" The waiter had just overheard the conversation of those people in the lobby, and was very afraid of Ning Ji.
"I need to make some medicine, please use the kitchen."
When the waiter heard him say this, he subconsciously glanced at the shopkeeper not far away. After getting permission, he hurriedly led the way, "Sir, please come this way."
Originally, the kitchen is a restricted area and outsiders are not allowed to enter, but there is always an exception. The other party is very capable and needs to decoct medicine, so you can make an exception and just keep a close eye on him.
Ning Ji followed the waiter towards the kitchen. Everyone in the lobby stared at his back with burning eyes until he was out of sight, and then they started talking in low voices again.
Now that this has happened, the hunters in the inn have become much more low-key. At least for the time being, no one plans to hunt other prey on the third floor, and the guests staying on the third floor have therefore been temporarily spared.
In the guest room on the third floor, Si He was happily arranging the belongings on the table, putting them into different categories. She put the silver bills into one purse, the gold into another purse, and the silver and copper coins into another purse. Finally, she put all these things into a small bag.
With this bundle of money, if it is only used for daily consumption, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.
No wonder so many people become gangsters. This line of work makes money so quickly!
However, the risk is also extremely high. If you are not careful, you may lose your life. It can only be said that high risk means high reward.
She had no psychological burden at all when it came to fighting the robbers, and it could also deter those people outside with ulterior motives, killing two birds with one stone.
After packing up her things, she looked up at Liu Erxiong who was standing by the door. Although she regarded him as a backup thug, he was also an eyesore to keep in the house. She thought about it and controlled Liu Daxiong outside the door to get him out.
The two brothers stood on each side, guarding the door like guards.
Those who heard the noise outside and peeped in saw this scene, and their hearts were mixed and shocked. They didn't dare to get close to this side, so they stood far away and didn't notice that Liu Erxiong and Liu Daxiong were in an abnormal state, let alone see the silver needle behind Liu Erxiong.
Liu Erxiong, whose acupuncture points were pinpointed by needles, was conscious at this time, but he could not move. In addition, Ning Ji had fed him medicine, so he could not even speak and could not ask for help.
What's more, no one dared to approach here now. Liu Erxiong could do nothing but feel anxious and scared. At this moment, he regretted very much. He regretted hunting these two people, which led to the current situation.
Everything was calm on the third floor until Ning Ji came back with some prepared medicine and some food.
The food was relatively light and simple, and it was prepared under Ning Ji's supervision. In this place, any mistake could easily lead to trouble, so one had to be careful.
While the two were having dinner, they heard a loud noise coming from downstairs. It must be a fight on the second floor.
After what happened just now, Si He also knew what was going on. Sometimes robbery can be done openly and honestly. A small quarrel or dispute can make things worse. The loser will either pay money or even lose his life.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the darkness in the world.
When you are away from home, strength is very important. Without strength, you can only live a low-key life.
After dinner, it was completely dark outside and the noise downstairs gradually subsided.
But it was just nightfall. If you were in the mountains, it would be most dangerous after dark, and this place was no exception.
Ning Ji had deliberately created such a big commotion before, also in preparation for tonight.
He was going out for a while and it would be more convenient for him to go alone, but he was also worried about leaving her in the inn, so it was just right for these two to guard the door.
