Chapter 85 Thousand Gold Platform

The old man was around sixty years old, with a white face and red lips. His face was long and narrow. Although the corners of his mouth carried a smile, it gave off an inexplicable sense of gloom.

Looking at the middle-aged man in his thirties, he had eyebrows, phoenix eyes, thick nose and lips, and a pale complexion. However, he did not look as morbid as the old man. Although he was intentionally wearing a cloth robe, he could not conceal the noble manner in which he moved between his hands and feet.

As soon as he entered the inn, the middle-aged man sat down at one of the tables and chairs in the inn, leaving the old man to negotiate with the others.

"Aiyo, I'm sorry, all six of my upper rooms have been reserved by this young hero." Hu Er's eyesight showed how extraordinary this person was. He hurriedly took a step forward and said with a smile, "However, there are still a few rooms left. The small one is easy to take care of. It's not any worse than the upper room."

"Bastard!" Before he could finish his sentence, the old man shouted in his shrill voice, "I don't even think that you're wronging my master. Do you still dare to take out a side room? Are you courting death?"

After saying that, the old man's eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed.

At that moment, Hu Er's body trembled, and for some reason, he felt as if he was naked in the world of ice and snow.

"Everything is a first come, first served. The shopkeeper only inquired and did not force him. How can you insult him!" Song Yueming was very anxious, and had always believed in the so-called sage's way in his heart. He immediately forgot Xu Han's warning that he should not act rashly before entering the city, and went forward to argue with the old man.

"Hmph, who are you?" Hearing this, the old man turned his head and sneered at Song Yueming . "I …"

"Alright, Elder Yin, since the shop owner hasn't gone to his room, let's find another one." Seeing that the old man was about to turn his anger towards Song Yueming , the middle-aged man accompanying him suddenly stood up.

When the old man heard this, although he was indignant in his heart, he still retreated behind the man with his calm eyes and didn't say anything.

"Your servants are reckless. I hope you don't mind. What this little brother said is absolutely correct. I will definitely discipline you when we return. I will take my leave now." The man's attitude was exceptionally good. Not only did he stop the old man, he also bowed deeply to Song Yueming and sincerely apologized.

This made Song Yueming , who was prepared to have a debate, a little embarrassed. His face flushed red and he waved his hand, saying repeatedly, "No problem… No problem."

The man nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait!" But at this moment, Xu Han suddenly shouted.

The man and the people accompanying Xu Han were stunned. At that time, they all turned to look at Xu Han, their eyes filled with doubt.

"We have a total of six upper rooms. If you don't abandon them, you can have one for us." Xu Han said with a smile.

Hearing this, the man's expression froze for a moment before he looked at Xu Han with a calm gaze. He seemed to be weighing the meaning of Xu Han's actions, but in the end, he nodded his head in surprise.

"Alright." He said softly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. After saying this, he turned his head slightly to look at the old man beside him and said, "Elder Yin, go pay for the room to Young Master and get yourself a side room."

Hearing this, the old man seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied. He was about to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, he met the cold gaze of the man. The old man's heart sank, and he immediately stopped speaking. He silently walked forward and handed over the money bag in a proper manner.

Xu Han took the money bag and weighed it slightly. Not to mention an upper room, even if the entire inn was occupied, it wouldn't be a problem.

"The extra gift will be considered a generous thank you gift from Young Master." The man also said at that time.

"Then thank you, brother." Hearing this, Xu Han nodded slightly and put the money bag into his arms without refusing. He saw Hu Er's face full of envy.

The surrounding people, Song Yueming and the others, frowned slightly. They were somewhat puzzled by Xu Han's actions. They were originally here to secretly investigate the evil spirits. They had previously thought of a way to hide it from others. Why did they still leave this man behind? Wasn't it just leaving behind trouble for the future?

However, although they were puzzled in their hearts, their trust in Xu Han's instinct made them suppress their doubts. Only Feng Yan , the eldest senior apprentice-brother on the Big Atlas Peak, had an unsteady expression. He looked at Xu Han with a faint smile, as if he was quite appreciative of his actions.

After the old man went to Hu'er and found another room, Xu Han and the others sat down together with the man in the shop.

"Didn't Brother Hu just tell us something interesting about Yanlai City ? Now that the room is booked and the money is given, shouldn't you tell us?" At this time, Feng Yan , who was dressed as a noble young master, asked softly, causing the man and the old man in the shop to look sideways.

This Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother's complexion was pale and clean, and his face was extremely handsome. If it weren't for the fact that there was clearly an apple on his throat, even Xu Han would have doubted whether he was dressed as a man or a woman.

"Interesting matter, what interesting matter? Can you tell me about it as well?" Hearing this, the man's face immediately revealed a look of interest. He smiled and asked. His attitude was so righteous that no one could pick out a single flaw.

"Seeing each other is fate. Brother, please go ahead." Xu Han responded with a smile. This information that even ordinary innkeeper knew was not considered secret, but Xu Han had no intention of stopping it.

At this moment, Hu Er looked at the group of people waiting for him. He felt as if Mr. Storyteller was holding onto a shocking tree and pointing at a hero.

"Cough cough." He immediately cleared his throat and said seriously.

"Things are like this, yanlai city outskirts have a big river, named yanduo, however, the river people mostly fish for a living. However, the situation these past few years was not good. Every year, heavy snow and rivers were frozen. Those fishermen were in an extremely miserable state, and every winter was the most difficult time to endure. But this year, it was very strange. The snow was still falling, the sky was still cold, but Yan Bu Shang was surprisingly not frozen. "The people were overjoyed. They all said that the Dragon King had displayed his spirit. For this reason, the satrap even set up a spirit altar and killed several fat sheep to sacrifice to the River God."

"But the good times didn't last long. The fishermen who went out fishing disappeared one after another. The government sent people to investigate several times, but they couldn't find out why. Later, a group of people were killed inexplicably. Only one of them ran out and went crazy. He just kept talking about monsters and monsters."

"Next, the demonic troubles in Yanlai City will spread. Occasionally, people will die strangely."

"More than a month ago, Old Man Liu's family in the west of the city…"

He spoke in an extremely serious tone. At the end, he did not forget to remind everyone mysteriously that it was best not to walk to the place where people had died, just in case something unexpected happened.

However, the expressions on Xu Han, Fang Ziyu and the others' faces became strange after hearing Hu Er's words.

The story was a good one, but apart from the credibility of the fishermen who had disappeared from the river at the beginning, the other murders were more bizarre. What kind of family had three people killed in a rampage, what kind of scholar had encountered a fox demon in the night, were mostly stories that were used to tell stories, and they were all spread out in an aggravated manner.

The group of people became more and more mysterious when they heard this. They immediately lost interest and interrupted Hu Er, who had an endless face. After thanking him, they returned to their room.

At this time, it was getting late, and the group had a good discussion. After dinner, the six of them decided to split up and inquire about the news in the city.

Feng Yan and Fang Ziyu took Song Yueming to the joint that had been agreed with You Lingqu and the others in the city, exchanging information with each other today, while Xu Han took Chu Chouli and Qin Keqing to wander around Yanlai City alone.

…

" Young Master Xu , where are we going?" After walking for about half an hour, Qin Keqing couldn't help but ask.

Xu Han brought her and Chu Chouli along, stopping and stopping. He seemed to be in high spirits, occasionally pulling Qin Keqing to comment on the things on the street, and even buying some local food to taste.

At first, Qin Keqing thought that Xu Han was doing this to numb the enemies who might be in the shadows, but later on, Xu Han seemed to have completely forgotten their purpose of coming out and insisted on dragging Qin Keqing to a wine shop on the street to listen to such a comment.

This puzzled Qin Keqing so much that she asked this question.

"It's been a long time since I came out. Shouldn't I take a look?" Xu Han, however, did not recognize the meaning behind Qin Keqing 's words and asked with a smile.

Qin Keqing was speechless. She couldn't help but remind him, "Good, good… but we…"

"We're here." At that moment, Xu Han suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice.

Qin Keqing was stunned. She subconsciously looked up and saw that at some unknown time, they had already arrived at a workshop. There were people coming and going at the entrance of the workshop. It wasn't lively, and there were several burly men guarding on both sides of the workshop.

At that time, Qin Keqing , who realized that this place was unusual, looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the gate with three large characters written on it.
