I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 78: Behind the Wooden Door
The fog was thick and sticky, like boiling water.

Bai Yunrui strolled through it and found that the heavy fog under his feet was so cold that the entire ground was covered with mottled blue-black frost.

In front of him, the twisted darkness was like a demon, with its fangs and claws bared as if it had life, and it seemed as if a bloody mouth would emerge from it at any time and devour anyone.

The Yin energy here is extremely heavy, and Bai Yunrui's fire starter cannot be lit. He can only move forward slowly relying on the faint light of the pure Yang energy in his body.

It wasn't long before his face darkened.

This was originally a guest room. Even though the top-grade rooms in Gaosheng Inn were exceptionally spacious, the largest was only two or three meters square. But as he walked around, he couldn't touch the walls, and he didn't even feel the existence of the original furniture.

Is this place made into an independent folding space?
As soon as Bai Yunrui had the thought, he shook his head and denied his own idea.

Powerful magical weapons that can form their own space do exist. His teacher, the chief of the Upper Three Sects, the White Cloud Swordsman Xiahou Ren, has one, but the space inside is only a few feet, not much bigger than this guest room.

But now, with his speed, he has walked at least a mile, but still cannot touch the border. Where in the world can there be such an unreasonable magic weapon?

what on earth is it?

While thinking, Bai Yunrui keenly felt a surge of resentment behind him, following him like a shadow.

His heart tightened slightly, and when he looked back, he found that it was Han Tianjin.

"Second brother, why did you come in? Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"

Han Tianjin opened his blood-red eyes, and his whole body was filled with overwhelming hatred. He soared into the sky and instantly merged with the thick black fog. He turned into a long stick, which he held in his hand and smashed on the man's head!

……

Li Qingyun had important business to attend to, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Zhen and headed eastward towards Gaosheng Inn.

Fang Shuan, who was traveling with him, was a chatterbox. He hummed and hawed all the way, talking non-stop about all sorts of things.

He had a hoarse voice, which was harsh and unpleasant, but he had many interesting stories in his mind. Li Qingyun listened to them with great interest and couldn't help but admire him secretly in his heart.

This fellow has no nose, has such difficulty speaking, and yet keeps on talking incessantly. He is really an oddball.

"Captain Fang, I have something I want to ask you, but I don't know if I should ask you this or not."

Li Qingyun suddenly asked.

Fang Shuan patted his chest:

"Don't call me Captain Fang anymore. If you don't mind, just call me Old Fang. We are all family now. There's no need to be polite. Just ask me anything. I, Old Fang, will tell you everything I know."

Li Qingyun asked vaguely:

"I saw the team led by Third Brother Xu, including Big Brother Bai, Fourth Brother Lu, and Fifth Brother Ai. Compared with ours, this configuration seems..."

Seeing that Li Qingyun was hesitant to speak, Fang Shuan simply helped him finish his words:
"Well, you want to say that the team led by me is much better than these few ugly people around my uncle, right?"

Li Qingyun laughed dryly:
"That's not the case, but the people in Brother Xu's team are all in the third realm, which feels a bit unfair."

Fang Shuan became alert when he heard this:

"Tsk, who said it wasn't true? My uncle is a stubborn person. When he came back from Mount Emei after learning martial arts, Grandpa Jiang asked him to lead a few people to form a team. Others picked the best ones, but he just picked the two most lazy ones."

Li Qingyun blurted out:

"Why is that?"

As soon as he said this, he felt a little embarrassed. Isn't this equivalent to admitting that Fang Shuan and Han Tianjin are two good-for-nothings?

But Lao Fang didn't mind, and explained with his eyes rolled up:
"Why? Isn't it to show that he is more capable? He is the direct descendant of Xiahou Ren, the chief of the Upper Three Gates, and the son of Bai Yutang, the Golden-Haired Mouse. Look at me, I am not as good-looking as him, and my family background is not as good as his, but I am more capable than him, so I can't accept it.

"So he specifically picked the two of us who were the least capable to form a team. When we were handling cases, we always did what we wanted and never listened to me. "Guess what happened? My husband was able to solve big cases one after another, but he was stuck every day. Later, he gradually learned his lesson and listened to my husband's advice more."

Li Qingyun found it funny in his heart when he heard this. Bai Yunrui was just shooting himself in the foot. However, it would be harder to make achievements by following these people than by following Xu Liang.

Although he already has the strong support of Tianbo Mansion, one can never have too many martial arts. He also hopes to solve more cases and accumulate merits in exchange for more martial arts.

Alas, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. You have to work hard.

Chatting as they walked, the two soon arrived at Gaosheng Inn.

The shopkeeper here saw Fang Shuan wearing the official uniform of Kaifeng Prefecture and hurriedly ran up to him and said:
"Hello, gentlemen. Are you with the two from before? One of them is dressed in white and looks very handsome, and the other is like an iron tower, holding a long black stick."

Fang Shuan nodded:

"Yes, we are together. They came here first. Do you know where they are now?"

The shopkeeper pointed his finger:
"It's in Room 1 on the third floor. They said they were going to check on the situation, but it's been a long time and they haven't come down yet."

Fang Shuan waved his hand:
"Take us to see it."

Several people came to the No. 1 area on the third floor, but only saw Han Tianjin sitting against the wall.

Fang Shuan blinked his eyes, having a bad feeling, and took a few quick steps forward and asked:

"Where's my uncle?"

Han Tianjin grinned and said with some grievance and helplessness:
"He didn't listen to me and insisted on going in to take a look."

Li Qingyun looked at the tightly closed wooden door, walked forward and asked:

"Brother Han, how long has General Bai been in there?"

Han Tianjin sniffed:
"About a quarter of an hour."

Fang Shuan stomped his feet:

"Don't you have a spirit condensed from incense? Why don't you use it to explore the way, and let my uncle go in alone?"

Han Tianjin glared, revealing countless bloodshot eyes:
"How do you know I'm useless? My soul is lost in there, but I can feel it still exists, just disconnected."

Fang Shuan made a prompt decision:
"Brother Qingyun, we have to go back and ask for help. Either ask me to be your old man, or go to Daxiangguo Temple or Sanqing Palace to ask the senior masters to come and help."

He turned and walked away, but just as he took a step, he felt someone gently grab his wrist.

"Old Fang, don't be in a hurry."

It was Li Qingyun's voice.

Fang Shuan looked back at him and said with a puzzled look:

"You don't want to go in and take a look, do you? I advise you to give up on this idea. Even my uncle couldn't get out..."

Before coming to Gaosheng Inn, Li Qingyun had used the method of premonition to divine and got the revelation that the danger was not great. Therefore, although he encountered a strange scene, he was not too panicked.

He motioned Fang Shuan to wait for him, then took out the jade pendant given to him by Bai Yunrui from his arms, turned his back to the two of them, closed his eyes and meditated, activating his divination power.

"Bai Yunrui's current situation..."
