Chapter 73 Gathering Intelligence
"Is the inn you mentioned ahead Donglai Inn? I don't think there are many people staying here." Qian Siwu brought the topic to the inn.

"After what happened last year, fewer passers-by came to our town, not a few in a month."

"It's not easy for the proprietress to support such a big inn by herself, and there are so many people under her hand." Qian Siwu sighed, looking at the doctor to see his reaction.

The doctor only echoed a few words with a smile, but did not expand.

Seeing this, Qian Siwu understood that he was hiding something, but pretended not to know, "Do you know any other strange things?"

"Hehe, look at what the girl said, isn't it enough for a town to have one strange thing? Besides, no one would dare to live in this town." The doctor ended the topic with a smile.

Qian Siwu also laughed twice.

He seemed afraid to say anything about the inn.

"What book are you reading? Hey, basic alchemy, I have read this book before. If you want to make alchemy, you have to read it together with basic herbal medicine." Qian Siwu laughed, " All right, it's getting late, I won't disturb your business anymore."

With that said, Qian Siwu got up and left.

"Go slowly." The doctor said behind her.

Leaving the medical hall, Qian Siwu entered a small alley, used formations to hide his body, and then came out to find the back door of the medical hall and waited.

Not long after, an apprentice who was distributing medicinal materials before came out and ran away in a hurry.

Qian Siwu followed behind him.

The apprentice walked to the alley she had been to before, and looked around, as if looking for someone.

"Where did you go?" the apprentice murmured.

"Are you looking for me?" Qian Siwu asked after appearing behind him.

The apprentice was startled, turned around and saw Qian Siwu who was smiling, he was relieved but his heart tightened at the same time.

"Is there something wrong?" Qian Siwu asked with a good attitude.

"Well, do you still want to know something about the town? I can tell you, but you have to pay me." The apprentice said hesitantly, wondering if Qian Siwu would agree.

"You want basic herbal medicine?" Qian Siwu said bluntly.

When she mentioned this book before, it was the doctor's idea. Although he was moved, he endured it. Instead, the apprentice next to her looked at her several times.

She guessed that the apprentice would find out, and after waiting outside for a while, he did come.

"Yes, I want this book." The apprentice nodded.

Qian Siwu looked at him for a while, then took out the book from his Qiankun bag.

All books with basic characters are enlightenment books in this world, and anyone with a little money can afford it.

But she saw that the doctor's book was copied by himself, so she guessed that he didn't have the money to buy it, so she mentioned the book of herbal medicine.

"It stands to reason that this book is not worth a lot of money. Didn't you all buy a copy?" Qian Siwu asked curiously.

"Miss, you have seen it too. There are not many people in our town, and monks don't get sick easily, so naturally they can't earn much." The apprentice said with a bitter face.

There is some truth in what he said, and it can be believed for the time being.

"Tell me, tell me everything you know, and I'll give you the book." Qian Siwu dangled in front of him with the book in his hand.

"Actually, the only thing I know is about Donglai Inn." The apprentice scratched his head and looked at her cautiously. He was afraid that she would think he said too little and would not give him a book.

"You say it."

"It's just that Donglai Inn didn't belong to the current proprietress, and the proprietress only came last year.

The name Donglai Inn is because the owner is called Donglai, and this inn has existed since I was a child.

Probably a few months before the Xiuxian General Election last year, this proprietress suddenly appeared in our town, and then I heard that Boss Donglai sold the inn to her.

The lady proprietress is a foreigner, and when she took over the inn, she drove out all the original cooks, accountants, and waiters, and recruited new people herself.

Later, after the general election, there were occasional passers-by in the town, and these people stayed at the Donglai Inn.At that time, I heard people say that those who stayed in the inn almost stayed there for ten days before leaving.

You also know that our town is just a passing town, no one will live here for so long, so it is very strange.Later, people who lived nearby told me that the inn would make strange noises at night, which sounded like a kind of saliva, and the sound of people arguing could be heard.

But that's pretty much what happened last year, and I haven't heard anything weird this year. "

Qian Siwu was attracted by his description, what is the sound of drooling?Is it the sound of "baji baji"?Is that the sound of eating?
"How did the strange thing end?" Qian Siwu asked.

"It seems to be entering winter."

"Is the inn connected to the temple?"

Hearing the words, the apprentice hesitated for a moment, leaned closer and whispered: "I heard people say that the waiter of the inn sometimes goes out of town, usually every three to five days, mostly after dark at night, I don't know what to do gone."

"Then why did he come back?"

"I'm not sure about that. I heard people say that he will be there after the inn opens the next day. He should be back in the middle of the night."

"Then how do you know he went to the temple?"

"A kind of incense is burned in the temple, and the smell of this incense can stay on the body for two days. Every time he goes out, he has this smell on his body when he comes back, so we know that he went to the temple."

Qian Siwu finally knew a new piece of information, and hurriedly asked excitedly: "What kind of fragrance? What exactly is it?"

"I don't know, the older generation will make that kind of incense, but we younger people don't know, and now that the temple is abandoned, we don't use that kind of incense anymore.

As for the smell, I can't describe it. It's a bit like the smell of several herbs mixed together. I don't know many herbs, so I can't tell. The apprentice scratched his head, looking shy.

But at least Qian Siwu got some useful information. If it is really a kind of incense made from medicinal materials, it is most likely to be hallucinogenic.

"Do you know who can make that kind of incense? Or can you get me some? I'll give you an extra reward." Qian Siwu said to him.

"My master can do it. I can steal some for you, but I have to wait until my master sleeps at night." The apprentice was completely moved when he heard the extra reward, and sold his master without thinking.

"Well then, you go back to pick up the incense tonight, and I'll wait for you at this place at dawn tomorrow morning, you give it to me." Qian Siwu handed him the book, and made an agreement with him.

"What reward do you want?" Qian Siwu asked.

The apprentice thought about it, and cautiously asked: "Can you give me ten low-grade spirit stones?"

"Want a spirit stone?" Qian Siwu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

She took out a elixir in exchange for information just now, he should be able to see that she has a lot of good things in her hand, why did she only want ten spirit stones?

This is a bit too cheap.

 Thank you book friend Xue Yang for being a small lover. Jiang Tian Shengwang's reward, love you~
