From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 11
The night is fading.

In the early hours of the morning, the wind and rain poured down.

On the official road leading to Yuyue County outside Lanyang City, a red horse is galloping forward with all four hooves flying.

Putting on the rain gear, An Jing's body was ups and downs, and his thoughts were churning while paying attention to the road.

The destruction of the Yizhuang stronghold last night, together with Liu's car dealership and his party, can be regarded as the key clues to the ghost moth case.

After the discussion, An Jing decided to split up with Wu Butou.

Headhunter Wu is responsible for the secret investigation of Qi Guidao. If it is confirmed that the mastermind behind the ghost moth case is hidden in the dojo outside the city, then bypass the infiltrated government office and directly contact General Lanyang's mansion, and ask the army to exterminate the group of "insects" .

This aspect of things can't be done in An Jing's capacity.

Instead of staying with Butou Wu as a guard, it is better to go out and look for another clue.

After all, An Jing's first task is to find out and solve the ghost moth case.

Simply eliminating the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely not be enough to achieve a higher evaluation, and the corresponding rewards will also be reduced.

Now that I have come to this trial world.

An Jing didn't intend to mess with the whole result, so she must fight for herself!
Treasures from ancient tombs in Lingnan were born, and bandits gathered.

In Yuyue County, tiger demons cannibalize people, and only one person from Liu's car dealership escaped back.

The ghost moth appeared, and Liu Fu's father died tragically. He ate vegetarian food and recited Buddha's name during his lifetime.
There is continuous sound of rain in the ears, and fine water lines are hanging in front of the bamboo hat.

The leaves falling in the forest and the rain turned into various clues recently collected from Liu's car dealership and Wu Butou in An Jing's heart at this time, and they were constantly arranged and combined into possible truths.

How could Liu Fu's father escape alone from Yuyue County, where bandits and tiger monsters were rampant?
And why was he being targeted by the ghost moth, trying to control him to obtain information?
In An Jing's mind, there is only one explanation.

It is very likely that Liu Fu's father came into contact with the treasures that appeared in the ancient tomb, or was forced to be affected, otherwise it would be difficult to explain his nightmares and his strange behavior after returning to Lanyang City.

The mastermind behind the ghost moth case obviously also heard about it, and that's why he was so interested in him.

This is also one of the main reasons why An Jing went to the inn where the convoy had stopped.

He wants to know what happened in the inn back then!
An Jing had a strong premonition.

As long as this mystery is solved, the truth of the ghost moth case will be completely exposed to him.

Not only that, judging from the state of Liu Fu's father after he returned to Lanyang City, he obviously didn't really get the treasure, which is why he continued to inquire when he changed the route.

This meant that if the treasure had not been found by the mastermind behind the ghost moth case, it might have remained near Yuyue County.

Perhaps the treasure that can be snapped up by a group of thieves is the strange life item mentioned in the second task?

Yuyue County is some distance away from Lanyang City.

Fortunately, with the detailed route map provided by Liu's car dealership, An Jing acted alone and was able to take shortcuts in many places.

About two hours.

Arriving smoothly at the border of Yuyue County, An Jing went straight to the inn where the war broke out, thinking that it has become a wasteland, maybe there are still traces of the battle left.

An Jing plans to go to the site to investigate first, and then go to the Yuyue County Yamen for assistance.

He was able to stay in the trial world for five days, which was ample time.

The bay red horse stepped into the forest path, at a slightly slower speed.

An Jing held the reins, looking through the gap in the forest to the two hills not far away.

The inn is located in the col, and when you see the hills, you know that it is not far away.

Lightly clamp the horse's belly with your legs and move forward.

Thinking about how to collect clues later, An Jing didn't notice the half-buried stele in the nearby forest.

On the stone tablet was written in dark red writing: The fierce place ahead, no pedestrians can enter!

Bypass the dense forest and ride through the mountain pass.

Smoke rose from the forest, and the neighing of horses came to my ears one after another.

Putting away the road map, An Jing couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

This movement. Is the inn still open?

Surprised, he urged Hongzao to go a little further, and looked up.

The inn in the mountains finally appeared in front of An Jing.

The conditions of the inn in the mountains are simple, the facade looks somewhat dilapidated, the door is open, through the rain curtain, people can be vaguely seen moving in the inn, and some noisy sounds can be heard.

The inn couldn't have been nicer.

An Jing immediately led the horse and leaned over, and soon a waiter with a rag on his shoulder came out to greet him,
"Do you want to be a guest officer or stay in a hotel?"

"Tip, find me a place."

An Jing stepped over the threshold, took off her bamboo hat and shook off the rain.

At this time, there were too many people in the inn, so standing at the door to inquire about news inevitably attracted attention.

So I wanted to pretend to be a guest and find an opportunity to talk to the shopkeeper alone.

It's just that the hand holding the bamboo hat was waved down, but his eyes froze suddenly.

The ground behind the door was full of floating dust, and it was so dry that the surface was covered with fine dust after water droplets landed, making it difficult to disperse.

He glanced back at the wind and rain on the road.

An Jing continued to walk in with her bamboo hat in her hands, her eyes wandering around the diners.

As Liu Fu said earlier, this inn was originally a place to receive people from the Jianghu.

Ordinary people don't feel uncomfortable coming here when they are full.

Therefore, almost all the people sitting in the store are dressed in the clothes of warriors and armed with sharp weapons.

"Guest officer, just sit over there."

The second child led An Jing to the back of the inn, and An Jing nodded in agreement.

It's just that when passing by a strong man, he sprained his ankle suddenly, and subconsciously put his right hand on the latter's shoulder.

"what are you doing!"

The strong man was very vigilant, and when he turned around, his hand had already put the long knife on his waist.

"Sorry, the ground of this inn is uneven, I tripped over it."

An Jing clasped his hands together with a smiling face, took a few steps away, glanced at his palms, and held them tightly before the waiter turned around.

Fingers rubbed against the palm, without any wet feeling.

He sat down, put Miao Dao Nuan Dong on the table, casually ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a jug of wine.

Wait for the waiter to leave.

An Jing raised his hand to caress the cut marks on the corner of the table, and there were still blood stains in the gully that hadn't been cleaned.

There is no doubt that this is a black shop.

It's no wonder that Liu's car dealership doesn't come here when it has to.

But now compared to the problem of black shops, An Jing has more doubts.

The outside of the inn was full of wind and rain, but the inside was unexpectedly dry. Even the people who were eating were not wet at all. Even if they hadn't gone out in the inn, their clothes shouldn't be so dry.

An Jing, who had known for a long time that this trial world was full of weirdness, immediately realized that he might have accidentally intruded into a special area.

I thought I could get the information I wanted from this inn.

Now it seems that this place was occupied by the weird in advance.

I am surprised.

An Jing quietly took out the vision talisman from her pocket, tore it off and wiped her eyes.

Picking up the tea made by the waiter in the shop, pretending to be drinking, but actually waiting for the effect of the spirit vision.

In an instant, the wooden table in front of him was cracked, covered with water stains and mildew spots, and completely lost its clean appearance just now.

Turning around to look at the diners around, the pupils suddenly shrank again.

As far as the eye can see, the clothes on these people have become ragged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the skin and flesh of the body have a large area of ​​dryness and loss, and many of them are missing arms and legs.

Where is this inn.

It was clearly a mass grave where corpses gathered!
