Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian rested for the night, and continued on their way in the afternoon. Until dusk in the evening, they arrived at a town called Xiantao. The long street of this town is a bit bleak. It's obviously still daytime, but the pedestrians in the town can almost be counted with their fingers. Moreover, these pedestrians walked away in a hurry and looked frightened. It seemed that when Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian arrived, they seemed to have encountered ghosts. It also seemed that they were thieves and heinous people. Seeing the pedestrians on the long street, they fled quickly. What's more, some young women were seen, carrying large and small bags, looking hurriedly, heading out of the town as if they were facing a formidable enemy. On the street, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian could only look at each other, both looking puzzled. Later, Ning Caichen said to Nie Xiaoqian: "I saw it was getting late, so I wanted to see if I could find an inn where I could stay temporarily. I suddenly felt that the atmosphere in Xiantao Town was a little weird, so I might as well find someone to ask. What is going on?" Nie Xiaoqian agreed. Besides, it was already getting late, so they couldn't continue to smear the story and rush on their way, right? They walked on the long street for about half a stick of incense, and found a "Yelai Inn" in the south part of the long street. The scale of this inn is not very large, and you can tell at a glance that it is just a small operation. But what I said is true, this is a town market after all, not an ordinary county or above. Entering the inn, in the lobby, a man who looked like a shopkeeper squinted his eyes on the desk. This man has a mustache and a slim build. Perhaps, the shopkeeper heard the footsteps of the visitor, and opened his eyes with a thud. The moment he saw Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, his small eyes flashed, with a touch of golden light, and then his As soon as the mustache was raised, he immediately smiled at them and asked, "Hey! You two guests, do you want to stay here? I'm inviting you inside." "Are you the shopkeeper of this shop?" Ning Caichen asked suspiciously. He glanced at the skinny man. The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and nodded, "You can see that the guest has discernment at a glance. I just don't know what the guest's orders are." "That's easy! Serve us some food now, and prepare two rooms for us later. " Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian sat casually on a table in the lobby. After putting down my carry-on luggage. The shopkeeper immediately enthusiastically wiped the table and poured water for them, which was very considerate. ¡°In such a big store, there is only one shopkeeper, right?¡± Nie Xiaoqian asked. The shopkeeper sighed and said: "There were originally two clerks, butsome mysterious things have been happening to our Xiantaozhen in the past six months, so they all took their children and left. Maybe you will ask, Why don't I leave? I can't bear to leave this store, and I'm already a certain age. I won't live for a few more years, but unlike these young people, I still have a long way to go. " Ning Caichen said with a smile. Damn, he heard some clues from the shopkeeper's words. Combined with the people he had just met on the long street leaving in a hurry, it seemed that something unfair had really happened in Xiantao Town. Ning Caichen immediately said to the shopkeeper: "Can you tell me, what happened to you Xiantaozhen?" After the shopkeeper glanced at Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, he said directly: "Okay! I think you are For those from outside, I would like to advise you not to go out at night. It is very uneasy here. In the past six months, many young men and women have disappeared here. Their bodies have not been found until now. Everyone agreed that they must have been caught by monsters and eaten in the mountains! That's why there were no corpses left. " "Alas" the shopkeeper sighed and continued, "So, this is Xiantao Town. , in the past six months, people have left and died. The people who stayed are all elderly people, and some, like me, are reluctant to leave their hometown and travel to other places. The town is almost deserted. Already." After hearing the shopkeeper's words, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian looked at each other. Monsters capture people, take them captive into the mountains, and then eat them? This matter will definitely not be as simple as the shopkeeper imagined. Ning Caichen then asked: "So, in the past six months, no government agencies have come to negotiate this matter? You are all missing, haven't you reported it?" Upon hearing Ning Caichen's words, the shopkeeper's face darkened, "Guest Officer, you don¡¯t know this! Our Xiantao Town is just a small town, with a population of thousands, and the terrain is remote. We don¡¯t know how many times we reported it, but every time it came to nothing, and there was no news. Until later, we didn¡¯t report it. I hope. You must remember my words and don't go out at night. I'll get you some food." The shopkeeper shook his head and left. ¡°Brother Caichen, do you have anything to say about this matter?Law? "Nie Xiaoqian also felt that what happened was too strange. Young men and women in the town disappeared for no reason, and even the last bodies were not found. Could it really be the work of monsters? They kidnapped them and then ate them? Ning Caichen thought for a while and said: "This I can't make a conclusion for the time being. How about" Ning Caichen whispered in his ear: "Tonight, we can go out and have a look. Maybe, we can Found some clues. " "good! That's what we decided. "Nie Xiaoqian had a glimmer of expectation. It was half a stick of incense time again. The shopkeeper had arranged their meals and listed them on the table. The shopkeeper's craftsmanship was pretty good. Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian ate this meal. After dinner, they paid a deposit and asked for a room in the pavilion. The shopkeeper finally told them not to go out at night. Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian pretended to agree. But for their own good, they had to show something. The night was getting darker and darker. Ning Caichen looked out of the window and glanced at the long street. At this time, there were almost no pedestrians in the street. The door is closed, as if to guard against the panic of the epidemic. A layer of white mist spreads in the long street, hazy and enchanting, like an invisible ghost, spreading its teeth and claws to wreak havoc. What are you looking at? "Nie Xiaoqian walked into his room slowly. Ning Caichen's room is connected to Nie Xiaoqian, but only separated by a corridor. "When are we going out? "Seeing that Ning Caichen didn't speak, Nie Xiaoqian asked again. "Soon, when the shopkeeper goes to sleep, we will go out. "Ning Caichen withdrew his gaze and continued, "Maybe tonight, we can really find something fishy. " After the bright moon in the sky was covered by a dark cloud, two figures suddenly appeared from under a window. Their movements were gentle and rapid, like ghosts and silent. " Ning Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were like flying birds. After the innkeeper took a rest, they immediately flew out of the inn window and came to the long street. Looking at the long street, it was completely silent. A group of people. It was so late at night, and there was a mysterious disappearance of a man and a woman in Xiantao Town. The people who stayed behind closed the door early and went to rest in fear. How could it happen? Some people were wandering around desperately on the street. ¡°This long street is so quiet! The quietness made me feel that this place seemed to be a gloomy and dead city. "Nie Xiaoqian smoothed her hair on her forehead. She was dressed in white, which was extremely dazzling in the dark night. "Let's walk around and look. " Ning Caichen suggested. " Later, the two of them walked side by side. After walking a cup of tea, Ning Caichen suddenly felt that someone seemed to be following them behind them. But whenever Ning Caichen went When he looked back, he found nothing. Could it be that he was overthinking it? No! It was absolutely impossible! After repeating it several times, Ning Caichen came up with a plan. , said to Nie Xiaoqian: "Let's go separately! We'll meet here later. " Nie Xiaoqian saw Ning Caichen's face was grim, and immediately understood his plan. Ning Caichen walked onto the side street, and Nie Xiaoqian, she was ready to run in the opposite direction to Ning Caichen. The bright moon in the sky was still covered by dark clouds. A touch of A mysterious aura immediately enveloped Ning Caichen. A half-moon-shaped arch bridge appeared in the front. On top of the arch bridge, a woman in white stood quietly. Ning Caichen could not see the woman's face. All he could see was the woman's back, as graceful as a fairy descending from the earth. The woman came so quickly for no reason. Ning Caichen immediately realized that the scene seemed unreal. , he stepped into a trap, and walked onto the arch bridge unconsciously. No! What he saw in front of him was definitely not a reality. Could it be an inner demon occupying him. Reason? After Ning Caichen took a deep breath, he returned to normal. The woman he saw just now was just a ray of illusion. But what kind of demon could charm his mind in an instant. ? Ning Caichen couldn't help being surprised. "Brother Caichen. " Nie Xiaoqian appeared behind Ning Caichen for no reason, "I found a fun place, come with me. "After Nie Xiaoqian finished speaking, without saying a word, she pulled Ning Caichen and walked off the arch bridge towards a thoroughfare.Go. Ning Caichen looked startled, and immediately shook off Nie Xiaoqian's hand and asked, "Tell me, where are you taking me?" Seeing that Ning Caichen was angry, Nie Xiaoqian was not angry either. She pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly Twisting Ning Caichen, "Brother Caichen, are you angry? At most, I won't hold your hand in the future. Okay, don't be angry, let's go." Ning Caichen remained silent all the way. After following Nie Xiaoqian and turning onto several streets, they finally stopped outside a courtyard. "Zuisheng Xiaoyao Pavilion" A few bright red words immediately caught my eye.
