The cause of cultivating immortals is on my shoulders, and my junior sister is the leader.

Chapter 17 Forced to stay again
"Brothers, are you okay? This is ointment for healing wounds. You two can rub it on yourselves."

Song Qinghe still took out a bottle of ordinary healing ointment from the space and placed it in front of the man in gray.

The candles in the room were relit one by one by Song Qinghe, and the light was restored again.

Realizing that the world had returned to peace, the two eldest brothers, who had been arrogant and domineering before, now raised their heads like quails and shrankly looked at the remains of sawdust in the room.

"Thank you...Thank you for saving me...it's because we two brothers were blind! We collided with two adults before!"

The man in gray sizing up the situation is like the grass on the wall, which will fall wherever the wind blows.

"No problem."

After saying that, Song Qinghe returned to the bed and sat with his eyes closed, thinking about the origin of the mask.

After a long time, Zi Yusheng returned to the adobe house.

"How's it going? Did the person run away?"

Song Qinghe opened his eyes and looked at the man bending over in front of him.

It seemed that Zi Yusheng was a little embarrassed, still holding the quilt he planned to cover her with.

"Well, the man in black was very cunning. He followed him into a forest and disappeared."

The man spoke in a voice that only two people could hear.

At this time, the two eldest brothers, who had given each other good medicine, hugged each other and dozed off while sitting on the same bed, not daring to lie down at all.

next day
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and the sound of sneaking hands and feet woke up as soon as the sound of Ziyu Sheng taking a nap was heard in the yard.

He woke up the few people who were still drowsy and looked at the door that had been smashed last night and revealed a large area of ​​light.

The lady in a rose-red narrow coat carefully held the broken eaves of the door and stretched her head to look inside.

"Ms. Shu, don't stand at the door, just come in."

Song Qinghe, who was meditating on the bed, opened his eyes and happened to meet the eyes of the woman who was probing her head.

Lady Shu retracted her hand in embarrassment, and stood up in embarrassment to be exposed to the sight of the four people.

"Four of you, this..."

Lady Shu stepped forward hesitantly, looking across the four people, her mouth opened in surprise and speechless.

Unexpectedly... all four of them are still alive!

The ground was also full of traces of fighting. Even the wooden door was broken into pieces and lay in the yard. There were palm prints and scratches on the wall.

The two eldest brothers looked injured. They covered their wounds and looked outside the door in panic. They were relieved when they saw it was the shopkeeper's wife.

"Ms. Shu, I will compensate you for the spiritual stone that damaged the house. In addition, the four of us are not dead, so you can rest assured."

With that said, Song Qinghe took out [-] spirit stones from the space bag and got out of bed and handed it to Madam Shu.

"It's best if there are no casualties. This spiritual stone is a bit too much. Our adobe house isn't worth much, so the four of you should leave as soon as possible."

Madam Shu looked at the ten thousand spirit stones and smiled sheepishly, with an awkward smile on her face.

I thought that a few people would resent their behavior of not wanting to receive them yesterday. After all, people and money die and birds die for food. People have their own ambitions and cannot be forced.

However, she didn't expect that the woman who had the right to speak at the head didn't care about what happened last night at all, and Madam Shu was relieved.

"Mrs. Shu, you don't have to be polite. It's understandable for businessmen to protect themselves. These spiritual stones are used as the cost of repairing your house. There is also something that you and these two big brothers need to help announce."

Seeing Song Qinghe's resolute look in his eyes, he was embarrassed to continue to refuse, so he closed his eyes slightly. "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. We at Juyuan Inn have the best news. We can help you spread the news whether you are looking for people or things."

Song Qinghe lowered his eyes with satisfaction and spoke slowly under the four pairs of eyes.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that the Ghost King probably won't do any evil these days. Travelers can rest assured."

The two eldest brothers muttered in disapproval.

"He almost killed us last night, how could he not do evil again!"

Taking into account the two big men present, the man in gray's voice was soft but word for word reached everyone's ears.

"Yes, someone deliberately acted as the Ghost King last night. After being exposed by a few of us, he ran away in a hurry due to lack of force, taking into account that he would not cause any more trouble in the short term."

Wen Yanshu's wife looked at the few people in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the ghost king's heart-taking suddenly turned into a deliberate killing. She was a little unable to react for a while, and took a few steps back cautiously.

"I didn't expect it to be like this... Have any of you seen this person's appearance? Is he from Huai Town?"

Madam Shu's face was full of panic, her voice was a little trembling, and her hands were holding each other nervously.

The two injured brothers covered their shoulders and recalled yesterday's scene with fear.

"I was sleeping soundly last night when I suddenly felt a sharp blade stabbing my chest, but it happened to hit my shoulder. Then I started shouting for help, but Young Master Yu stopped him. I was so scared afterwards. It lit up for a moment, and all I saw from the corner of my eye was an extremely terrifying mask, and nothing else!"

"Me too! Me too!"

The two big brothers seemed to have a clear understanding of each other, and their voices trembled at the same frequency.

"It's true. I felt the sword energy and stopped me, pretending that the Ghost King was a masked man in black. This matter should be related to the Monk Sect. I will definitely report it to the Monk Alliance and resolve the matter!"

Zi Yusheng also stood in the center of the room, shoulder to shoulder with Song Qinghe, with a bit of coldness on his fair face.

"Madam Shu, all you need to know is that this matter is over and there are some bad guys who are pretending to be evil."

Song Qinghe summed it up, looking at the woman's slightly surprised face, a smile flashed in her eyes.

At that time, the skylight shone through the dilapidated and broken doorway onto the floor, and the coolness of the night disappeared from the bodies of those who shone on it.

"In that case, we brother and sister will take our leave first."

Several people followed Mrs. Shu from the backyard to the inn lobby. The people eating on the first floor and some of the guests from last night looked at the four living people in surprise.

The two brothers, who supported each other, left the inn together to find a medicine shop for bandages.

"Thank you both for telling me the truth. Please be careful along the way."

Immediately afterwards, Song Qinghe and Zi Yusheng were bidding farewell to Lady Shu and were preparing to leave.

At this moment, a panicked scream stopped the two of them.

"It's not good! Shopkeeper's wife! It's not good!"

The frightened handyman ran out of the backyard shouting, panting and sweating.

"Xiaosi, why are you panicking? Speak slowly."

Madam Shu had already adjusted herself, calmly pretending to be annoyed and scolding the incoherent boy.

"It's them! They killed the shopkeeper! The shopkeeper's body was next to the well in the backyard... I was just going to get water when I found... a corpse, bloody and unrecognizable. Only by looking at the clothes did I recognize that it was the shopkeeper's!"

The waiter said in a hurry, pointing at Song Qinghe and the two who had just said goodbye and turned to leave.
