Chapter 243 Day (One)

The innkeeper welcomed the three guests into the store, and said with a smile:
"There are not many people staying in the hotel at this time. It seems that the three are from other places, are they heroes who plan to join the Star Demon Haipeng City?"

Lu Junsheng had a sharp sword on his waist, Yinque had a bow on his chest, and Xie Yun carried a long knife on his back. It is not surprising that the shopkeeper misunderstood the three of them as warriors.

Especially recently, the Pengcheng sub-rudder has been recruiting talents from all over the world, and many well-known masters of the rivers and lakes have joined them, which also led to the shopkeeper's words.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lu Junsheng said with a troubled face:

"Pengcheng is so big, but the inn is really hard to find. You don't know the shopkeeper, we quickly went around the whole city, and only your inn is still open for business."

The shopkeeper led the three of them to the table in the hall to finish, and said with a smile:

"Chinese New Year, it's inevitable. Most of the owners of the inn in our Pengcheng are not from the city, so when the Spring Festival comes, they will naturally close their doors and go home for the New Year. I am the only local who is both the owner and the shopkeeper. Only people will open the door. But the guy has also asked for leave to return home, and I am the only one who greets the guests. If there is anything wrong with the hospitality, please forgive me."

Lu Junsheng smiled and said:
"The shopkeeper is serious. It's a big Chinese New Year, but it's the three of us who are bothering you."

The shopkeeper laughed. He went to the stove on the other side of the inn hall and added some charcoal to it to prepare hot water for tea making for the guests staying in the inn.

Outside the open door of the inn is a street full of vendors and stalls.

Everywhere you look, there is a festive red, such as Spring Festival couplets, red blessings, firecrackers, window grilles, New Year greeting cards, New Year pictures and other shops.

People come and go, and from time to time you can see stilt-walking and juggling teams passing by. Whenever this time, it is always accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums and the cheers and laughter of the people.

Looking at all this, Lu Junsheng felt sorry for his two companions:
"I'm so sorry that you couldn't go home for the New Year, and you still travel with me when the Spring Festival comes."

The silver sparrow has a slender body, the yellow skirt is as graceful as a feather, and the slender eyebrows are slightly raised:

"Our Yaozu is not a Spring Festival."

Xie Yun has a strong figure, his face is well-defined, and his skin is slightly dark:

"I've been wandering outside for many years, and I'm not used to celebrating the New Year for a long time."

Lu Junsheng smiled helplessly, and continued to turn his gaze to the busy street outside the inn:
"This city is very different from other places. You can see that people's faces are full of smiles and joy, but lack of fear and worry. Such a scene is rare in Xue Country. It seems that this Pengcheng is full of people. Peaceful place."

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with boiling hot water to make tea for the guests.

After hearing Lu Junsheng's words, the shopkeeper smiled and said:
"If you say that today's Pengcheng is a peaceful and blessed place, then I strongly agree. But in the past, if the guests could see the Pengcheng that was plagued by the plague, it would be really...terrible!"

Lu Junsheng, Yinque and Xie Yun couldn't help being silent when they heard the words.

The tragic scene of the plague outbreak is like a hell on earth, and they all know this.

At the end, Lu Junsheng said:

"Looking at the prosperity and stability of Pengcheng today, the plague may have passed for more than ten years, right? If the city can be rebuilt after the disaster and flourish here, the government here must be in charge."

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head:

"It didn't take that long. The plague has only passed for less than half a year. What's more, the government in Pengcheng is useless. When the plague broke out, a plague exorcist was sent to preside over it. However, that plague exorcist did nothing but kill people." No."

Lu Junsheng was shocked when he heard the words, the plague that even the plague exorcist intervened was by no means as simple as an ordinary plague, and there might even be plague ghosts in it.

Once such a plague breaks out, the places where it spreads will be empty, how can it be possible to rebuild Pengcheng to such an extent in just half a year?

At that moment, Lu Junsheng couldn't help asking:

"How did the plague subside?"

The shopkeeper's face began to show reverence:
"Just when the plague exorcist massacred the patients, it was Jiang Tuozhu from the local Star Demon Sea who stepped forward. Not only did he spend all his wealth to help the patients, but he also went to dangerous places to find a large number of sun eclipses to save them. The common people infected by the plague. It is really a blessing for Pengcheng to have such a person manage Pengcheng!"

Lu Junsheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words:
"I didn't expect that in this gang, there are such heroes who have a heart for all people and help the world and save people."

Even Yinque and Xie Yun couldn't help showing admiration in their eyes.

At this time, the bustling street was suddenly boiling, as if someone very popular was approaching.

The three of Lu Junsheng couldn't help looking towards the street. Could it be that the rumored Jiang Tuozhu was traveling?
I only heard countless traders shouting crazily:
"Master Shenmu! Come and have a look at my booth here. Are you going to buy New Year's goods? I have everything here!"

"It's so strange to be called 'Master Shenmu'! I think it's called 'Ms. Lin'! Ms. Lin, please come to our store and have a look. There are new styles of clothes in the store. It's the New Year's Eve, so you have to wear new clothes." !"

"Yes, Miss Lin! You are a regular customer in my shop, and you know the quality and style of my jewelry! These two days, I suddenly discovered that a red hairpin is very suitable for you, and it can definitely bring out your beauty Appearance! As long as you like it, I can give you a discount!"

……

Amidst the enthusiastic shouts of the vendors, a monster that looked like a man and a tree appeared in the eyes of Lu Junsheng and the other three along the street.

The monster looked like a slender girl, but she was wearing a brightly colored dress, and her exposed neck and face were covered with wood grains.

Under the skirt, where the feet should be, there are countless tree roots. These black roots can drive the girl to move quickly.

On her hands, which were like branches and even had fiery red and magnificent leaves in some places, she wore many bright rings and bracelets.

A tall and unusually tall white-haired giant dog was held by the girl. While clearing the way ahead, the giant dog growled vigilantly at the vendors who were too close to the girl, but it did not attack anyone.

Seeing this girl who seemed human but not human suddenly, Xie Yun, who had just taken a sip of tea, couldn't help but spit out the tea from his mouth:
"Ghost?!"

Lu Junsheng also frowned slightly. This monster who has not yet transformed into a human form actually appeared in front of the world in such a grandiose manner, swaggering through the market.

And the people here, seem to welcome it?

Yinque glared at Xie Yun unhappily:
"Isn't it a monster, why are you making such a fuss!"

Yinque itself is also a demon clan, so she is very dissatisfied with Xie Yun's gaffe.

After a pause, she was also full of doubts:

"However... just like this, I can't even transform into a human form, so it's okay to go shopping in a big way? People, aren't you afraid?"

The innkeeper looked at the surprised looks of the three, and couldn't help but secretly sneered and laughed in his heart. These outsiders really didn't know much, even the famous Lord Shenmu didn't know.

But the shopkeeper still likes to see these outsiders who have never seen the world, even though he has seen too much these days.

Despite the contempt in his heart, the shopkeeper would not say it out, he just smiled and said:

"The three of you don't know, this is Lord Shenmu who was invited by Master Jiang Duo from all the way to heal the scars left by the plague on the people. Lord Shenmu has amazing medical skills, but after being healed by her, the skin is as smooth as new , not even a trace of a scar will be left. You don’t have to worry about the three, Master Shenmu has a kind heart and a lively personality, and with Lord Jiang Tuozhu and Lord Supervising Star Envoy as guarantees, it’s impossible for him to harm anyone.”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper looked at the vendors on the street surrounded by Master Shenmu, his eyes were full of envy:

"Master Shenmu spends a lot of money, buys things cleanly and neatly, never bargains, and it is inevitable to be popular. It's just that I run an inn, and I have no chance to be patronized by Lord Shenmu. She has always lived in Jiangfu."

After sighing, the innkeeper returned to the counter and began to calculate the general ledger for this year with his abacus.

Lu Junsheng, Yinque and Xie Yun looked at each other when they heard the words.

Demons and humans coexist peacefully. This kind of thing only stays on the theory of some wise men, but they have never seen examples in their lives.

This trip to Pengcheng now opened the eyes of the three of them.

All of a sudden, the three of them had their own new ideas about the future of this world.

But at this time, a woman covered in a black robe beside the tree demon caught the attention of the three of them.

The woman's attire was too out of place in this festive street, so Lu Junsheng winked at Xie Yun.

Xie Yun understood and took out a piece of round jade from his bosom.

I saw various colors appearing on the round jade, and each color represented a different power nearby.

The three colors represent the inheritance power of Lu Junsheng and Xie Yun, and the demon power of Yinque respectively.Another color that is similar to the power of the silver sparrow demon represents the tree demon.

In addition, there is also a black streak appearing on the round jade, which represents evil spirits.

"That's right," Xie Yun said in a low voice, "The woman in the black robe is a ghost. Black represents evil spirit, and she is a ghost that has eaten people."

Yinque asked worriedly:
"Could it be."

Lu Junsheng shook his head:
"No, you see, the people here, as well as the tree demon, are familiar with the ghost. If it is the ghost who is chasing us, he won't have so much time to spend with people."

Yinque and Xie Yun observed carefully, although the merchants were not as enthusiastic towards the black-robed woman as they were towards the tree demon, they did not smile or say hello, and it could be seen from the address that the black-robed woman was still the tree demon. Demon's sister.

At this time, the round jade in Xie Yun's hand suddenly changed again, and a piece of color emerged in it, and the color was so rich that it almost completely covered the colors of the tree demon and the black-robed woman.

"There are powerful monsters approaching!" Xie Yun exclaimed in surprise, "The breath is not polluted by evil energy like that tree demon."

At that moment, the three of them looked towards the street again.

A beautiful girl with a sword on her waist appeared quickly, and her target seemed to be the tree demon. She quickly squeezed through the crowd and came to the tree demon, and then began to talk about something.

"This is hell!" Xie Yun couldn't help muttering, "Is this Pengcheng a ghost running all over the street?"

Lu Junsheng's expression changed, he stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly on his chest:
"The God of the Lacking Moon resonated. If I guessed correctly, the long sword on the girl's waist is an artifact that recognizes the girl as the master!"

Yinque and Xie Yun looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

The reason why the human race in this world can push the monster race back to the deep mountains and lakes is to occupy the orthodoxy.The big reason is that most of the gods only choose the human race, and the monster race is often extremely difficult to be recognized by the gods, and the ghosts polluted by evil spirits have no chance at all.

And the monster clan who can be recognized by the artifact is undoubtedly not a genius with supernatural powers and terrifying aptitude.
