Chapter 402 Black Shop


    The carriage was walking slowly on the official road. The official road was disrepaired and was bumpy. The old horse walked on the potholes, like walking on the flat ground. The two people in the carriage did not feel any bumpy at all.


    "I''m in the deserted state." Lu Yang spread out the map, and there was a light spot on the map, representing them. This is a magic weapon that can roughly show their location and is a necessary magic weapon to go out.


    "It''s getting late, find a place to rest nearby." Meng Jingzhou saw that it was almost dark and arrived in the deserted state again, so there was no need to hurry on the road.


    "Hey, look, there is an inn here, we can live there!" Meng Jingzhou saw an inn not far away. The plaque was shaky and the store name could not be seen clearly. The quality of the inn was worrying.


    Lu Yang looked at the inn suspiciously, it was gloomy, as if a gust of wind could blow the inn to collapse.


    "It''s better to spend the night in a carriage." Lu Yang comforted himself.


    The two of them came to the inn gate. The storefront was wide open, and it was pitch black inside, empty, as if they had been wasted for a long time.


    The two of them finally saw the name of the inn - Qingming Inn.


    "This name is not auspicious. Is this place closed down or open for business?" Meng Jingzhou muttered, strode in, and shouted loudly, "Is there anyone? Let''s stay in the hotel!"


    No one responded.


    Meng Jingzhou shouted again: "Is there anyone? Let''s stay in the hotel!"


    I heard a pounce on the counter, like the sound of a corpse falling to the ground, extremely dull.


    "Who is screaming, I don''t even understand the rules of staying in a hotel!" A man wearing a white paper hat cursed and cried out from the counter, staring at Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with an unkind expression.


    "Live in a hotel, come with two best rooms!" Meng Jingzhou has always lived in the best places.


    "You two are staying in a hotel?" The man in white paper hat looked at the two of them in surprise, stretched his neck and looked back, and found that they were not following anyone behind.


    "Go and go, why bother? This is not the place you should come, find another place to live." The man in the white paper hat drove away the two of them impatiently.


    Meng Jingzhou wondered, he had lived in so many inns, but the first time he met someone who was not allowed to stay.


    "Are you full in the store?"


    “There are still half empty rooms.”


    "Then why don''t you let us live?"


    The man in the white paper hat saw that these two people really didn''t understand the rules and was about to explain when he heard something coming from the upper floor.


    Tread—Tread—


    The sound of uniform footsteps came from the rooftop, which was so neat and frustrating.


    The monk in Taoist robe came down from the second floor, and followed him was a group of people. They were wrapped in black cloth and silent, and the ones in the dark seemed particularly terrifying.


    The number of people wrapped in black fabric made Lu Yang and the others suspected that there were so many rooms upstairs, so many people could be accommodated, especially the man in the white paper hat said that there were half empty rooms.


    Could it be that more than a dozen people live in the same room?


    How to live? Could it be that you are standing by the wall and sleeping?


    "Brother, leave the store, you are the worst Qingming inn I have ever stayed in." The monk in Taoism robe threw out a string of copper coins and threw them to the man with a white paper hat. The style of the copper coins was something that the two had never seen before, and there was a slight fluctuation of magic power on it, which seemed to have a special effect.


    The man in the white hat smiled and did not respond, just make money.


    Lu Yang was puzzled. The night was dark now, so why did he leave the store now?


    Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were both shocked after seeing the appearance of the man wrapped in black cloth.


    People wrapped in black cloth had no eyes, some people had mud and grass on their mouths and noses, some were disfigured, as if they had been smashed by something, and some people were aging and thin with only a layer of skin left.


    "Those who were drowned, smashed, old age... these are all dead!"


    "Corpsy?!"


    No wonder I checked out and left the store at night, rested during the day and drove away the corpse at night. That''s what the book says.


    Unexpectedly, the two of them encountered the corpse-driven technique that they had heard for a long time.


    The man in the white paper hat put away the copper coins and gave the two a blank look: "I am a corpse inn, which provides a place for corpse maker to rest. The rooms are for the dead. If you don''t have any taboos, you can live here."


    The two of them had their eyes twitching, living in a dead room, and they were a little unable to adapt.


    "That person could use the corpse driving technique just now. Is he a member of the corpse driving sect?" Lu Yang asked again. If he was a member of the corpse driving sect, they could just chat with each other.


    The man with a white paper hat shook his head: "You two are from other places, right? I said that our Qingming Inn is in a chain of Huangzhou. How could there be a living person know what our store is called and he still comes to stay in the store."


    “We are from Yunzhou.”


    Baizhu Hat suddenly realized: "The Central Plains is a great state, no wonder. I heard that there is also the Wendao Sect, one of the five major immortal sects, and the entire Yunzhou is extremely powerful, with convenient transportation and developed economy, and there are many strong people."


    He corrected the misunderstanding between the two: "The corpse driving technique is not just the corpse driving sect. There are many casual cultivators in the folk who can do corpse driving techniques, but they are far less serious than the corpse driving sect."


    "In our deserted state, whether it is a scattered cultivator or a disciple of the corpse sect, they are collectively called corpse craftsmen. The transaction between them is not spirit stones, but large copper magic money."


    The man in the white paper hat shook a string of copper coins in his hand: "That''s it."


    The two thanked the man with white paper hats and decided to find another inn.


    Leaving Qingming Inn, Lu Yang saw a sign upside down at the door of the inn. Out of kindness, he helped the shopkeeper up.


    The sign reads: Due to the adjustment of business strategy, our store has now moved to twenty miles east of Baiquan Town. Please forgive me.


    The signature date was five years ago.


    "What!"


    The two of them looked up suddenly, looked at the Qingming Inn in front of them in shock, and a chill broke out in their hearts.


    The real Qingming Inn has been moved away, so who did they just meet?


    They rushed into the shop, there was no one inside, and there was no man in white paper hat.


    "Are you a human or a ghost just now?"


    The two were shocked. They didn''t notice the strangeness of the man with white paper hat from beginning to end. The man with white paper hat did not respond when he saw Meng Jingzhou with a pure yang body. How high should his cultivation be? Is the Ghost King?


    "superior!"


    A decisive voice ordered, and a group of monks in constable costumes rushed out from all over the place and rushed into the inn.


    "Damn it, let him run away!"


    The man in the head was full of beards and was very upset to see that there was no man with a white paper hat in the inn.


    "Brother, what''s going on?" Lu Yang asked politely.


    The bearded detective saw that Lu Yang and the other two had just come out of the inn and knew that they were not suspicious characters, and explained:


    "This Qingming Inn has been abandoned for five years, but in the past five years, there have always been people who have said that they have stayed in this inn. They thought they had a ghost and came to us to report the case. After secretly checking and verifying the confession, we finally figured out the reason."


    "There was a man wearing a white paper hat pretending to be a store owner and pretending to open a store here, so that the corpse-driver would move in to make money."


    "Because the corpse was not picking up the place to stay in the hotel, the environment was understandable. Later, a corpse-driver couldn''t bear it. He thought the environment of this Qingming Inn was too bad, so he went to the Qingming Inn Headquarters to complain. The Qingming Inn Headquarters was even more surprised and said that the store had been closed long ago and the case happened."


    "After we found out the truth, we thought about waiting for the rabbit and arresting the man with white paper hats, but unexpectedly, we let him run away!"


    Lu Yang: “…”


    Can you even do such things in Huangzhou to make money?
