Chapter 27 Ruyi Inn
When they arrived in Yongxing County, they met many people who had fled with their families. They hurried, looked back at their homeland where they had lived for many years, and walked away with a sigh.

If it weren't for the monsters making trouble, who would choose to leave their homeland in order to save their lives.

After Fuyu entered Yongxing County, he didn't smell the expected evil spirit.

It stands to reason that no matter how big or small a monster is, there will be a monster on it.Now that it is like this, I am afraid that the monster is smart, knowing that they are entering the city, he specially hides his evil spirit.

"The shopkeeper." Yan Chong walked into the Ruyi Inn, there were only two waiters and the shopkeeper inside, he knocked on the table, and the shopkeeper woke up from his sleep.

The shopkeeper looked at the three of them very strangely, and never expected that someone would come from Yongxing County, which is full of demons.

"The three guest officials are staying at the top of the hotel?"

"To stay in the hotel, you need a first-class room." Yan Chong took out the silver and put it on the desk.

"Arrange three Tianzi No. [-] rooms for the three guest officials." The shopkeeper yelled at Xiaoer who was beside him.

Fu Yu glanced at the Ruyi Inn, both the stairs and the tables were wiped clean without leaving any dust.

"Brother, do you often come to stay here?" She asked.

"That's not true. There have been demons in Yongxing County for so many days, how can anyone dare to come? You are the only guests who have come to the hotel in these three months."

Xiaoer helped Yu make the bed, Fuyu pushed open the window of the room, she looked at the deserted street, and asked casually: "There is no one in Yongxing County, how will your inn continue to operate?"

Xiaoer's face was normal, he went back to Fuyu and said: "Although Yongxing County is full of monsters, businessmen and tourists pass by here every month. Although the business is not as prosperous as before, it can still fill the stomach anyway. The shopkeeper is reluctant to leave the inn. Turn it off and keep it on.”

Fu Yu didn't speak, Xiao Er glanced at the handsome figure leaning against the window, retreated secretly, and helped her close the door along the way.

She kept thinking about what the bamboo forest noodle stall owner said earlier.What kind of monster will cause the death of each deceased to be different.

According to the stall owner's description, it should be a Gu carving. It is a divine beast, and generally it will not harm the world. Even in the season when food is scarce, it will only lurk for a long time in the grass by the river bank or in the fine sand on the river bank. Once people or birds or beasts pass by, they will attack the vulnerable parts of the prey and kill them with one blow.

Moreover, Gu carvings like to hide food in water as a food reserve, and they will never leave the corpse aside after killing someone.

Therefore, the monsters that plague Yongxing County are definitely not Gu carvings.

It must be other monsters under the pretense of gu carvings to do harm to the world.

"Where are you going?" As soon as Fu Yu stepped out of the inn, she heard a faint voice behind her calling her.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er at the side heard the movement and looked over one after another.

Fu Yu turned around, and saw a young man in a bright orange round-neck robe with gold-woven dark patterns standing on the stairs looking at her.Xie Jiyu seldom wore such bright-colored clothes, and Fu Yu was a little lost.

See, she was right. Teenagers should wear bright clothes so that they can show their style.

A dark red headband tied up his black hair, and there was a smile on his mouth, but it still made people feel icy cold.

Fu Yu felt a chill down her back for no reason, she seemed to have forgotten what Xie Jiyu said.

Xie Jiyu said that no matter where she goes, she must tell him first, so as not to lose track of her and not know where to find her.

She evoked a far-fetched smile: "I'm going for a stroll, do you want to come with me?"

"Okay." The young man readily agreed, but Fu Yu didn't react.

As soon as they stepped out of the Ruyi Inn, a strange cold wind blew up on the desolate commercial street. Xie Jiyu, who was standing beside her, asked her, "Do you want to see the corpses killed by monsters?"

His eyes were dark, and his eyes were calm, as if everything had been planned.

Fu Yu raised his eyes and met his gaze. There seemed to be a vortex hidden in those Danfeng eyes, and Fu Yu sank into it when he saw it.

"Ah, yes." Fu Yu answered his words in a daze.

Xie Jiyu looked away, and was about to leave when he saw that Fu Yu beside him hadn't followed up, so he looked at her sideways, and opened his thin lips lightly: "Follow up."

Only then did Fuyu realize: "Xie Jiyu, how do you know where I'm going?"

"Guess." He glanced at the girl next to him who was still confused, and explained lightly.

"You want to investigate the monster disturbance in the city?" The county magistrate suddenly raised his head from the pile of documents, and asked in a deep voice.

"We are disciples of the Shifang Sect, and we specialize in catching monsters. The county magistrate can rest assured that we will do it." Fuyu said.

The county magistrate glanced at Dian Shi standing beside him, cleared his throat, and looked at the two of them: "It's not that I'm stopping you, it's just that this monster is not that monster, and it's not a monster in the true sense."

He gouged out Dian Shi fiercely, no one dared to lead him to him.

If the county magistrate blamed him, he would become a sinner.

"That's right, that's not a real monster."

Seeing that the explanation could not make sense, the county magistrate simply said nothing: "The people in the yamen have already caught the demon, so there is no need for you to meddle in it."

Dian Shi beside him made a gesture of invitation to the two of them. Fu Yu still wanted to fight, but was stopped by Xie Jiyu.

"It's useless to talk too much."

After walking out of the county government office, Fuyu felt a little depressed.

How could it be like this, what the county magistrate said was just an excuse to perfunctory her.

They are officials with imperial salaries, but they don't want to eliminate harm for the people, they just want to keep their black hats.

"Girl, you were kicked out by the county magistrate." At the gate of the county government office, an old white-haired beggar in ragged clothes smiled at them.

"Old man, how do you say that?"

The beggar ignored her, just smiled and leaned on a cane, and limped away. As he walked, he hummed and said: "When a fake is true, it is true and false. If there is nothing, there is something and there is nothing."

Fu Yu wanted to ask more questions, but he just kept repeating with a smile that when a fake is true, it is also a fake.

"This world is true and false, false and true. Girl, can you tell the difference?" The beggar walked away with a long smile, and he sang as he walked.

Fuyu looked at the beggar's hunched back as he drifted away, and she always felt that what the old man said seemed to be reminding her of something.

"Girl, don't listen to his nonsense, he has been crazy for more than ten years, and he has always been like this. He talks crazy when he sees people." The shopkeeper of the embroidery shop near the county government chatted with Fu Yu.

"The shopkeeper, may I ask conveniently, why does the county government ignore the demon riots in Yongxing County?" Fu Yu asked in a low voice.

The shopkeeper just smiled and shook her head after hearing this, and she told Fu Yu, "We have monster troubles in Yongxing every ten years, and people die every time, but this year the trouble is a little bigger, so many people run away." gone."

"Those like us who have property in Yongxing have their ancestors here for generations, and they can't escape and don't want to escape."

The shopkeeper raised his head, looked at the gate of the county government opposite, and said with a sigh: "Those who wear black hats have never done anything for many years, and they say that they are quiet and do nothing, and rule by doing nothing."

She smiled wryly again and again, with a sad expression on her face: "Obviously he came from a famous family, studied with a great Confucianist since childhood, and was born as a Jinshi who is a serious scholar. We even imagined that he could save us from the fire and water."

"Over the years, how many people have died in our Yongxing, and the county magistrate who is like a stone statue will not care once."
