Qin Shen's Inn

After leaving the group of stupas and entering the side hall to go out, Qin Shen bowed to the golden body of Master Guangzhi.

"Dad, why are you saying goodbye?"

Qin Shen held Diu Diu's little hand, and held a big fat cat in the other hand, and said, "I just want peace of mind and let him bless you."

"Bless what?"

"Bless you grow up safely, may your grandparents be healthy and safe, and may someone be safe and healthy and recover."

"Who is someone?"

"Oh." Qin Shen glanced sideways at the people around him, and said coolly, "This big fat guy in my hand."

"Dabai is not fat, it is just heavy."

"...Son, you can really talk."

"Meow!" The big white cat yelled in agreement.

When he stepped out of the threshold, Qin Shen paused, turned his head to look back, Zhang Tenghai took a few steps forward and saw that Qin Shen didn't move, so he called out, "Qin Shen."

"Oh, here we come." Qin Shen dragged his son forward, and when he reached the parking lot, he was still turning his head frequently, frowning.

"what happened?"

"I feel like someone is watching me all the time, after I come out of the temple."

Zhang Chenghai also frowned, "Have you found anyone?"

Qin Shen shook his head, even with his professional quality, he couldn't find anyone. Either this person was hiding very deeply, or it was his illusion. "Probably because I felt wrong, sit down and drive."

The car drove smoothly into the avenue, and the pagoda temple at the bustling construction site was getting farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared. Qin Shen looked away from the rearview mirror and asked Zhang Tenghai: "What do you think you are doing at the pagoda temple?" , looking for someone is not serious and active, just follow me and stand by the stupa."

"I found it."

"Huh?" Qin Shen thought back for a moment, he didn't feel anyone other than the three of them appearing at the stupa just now.

"Talked to him for a while, and he told me not to force it." Zhang Tenghai pressed his brows, his complexion didn't turn rosy after exposure to the sun, but became paler and thinner, and his whole body exuded the exhaustion of old age.

Qin Shen's heart ached, and he pretended to be relaxed and asked: "What do you want to find this person for, to give me advice?"

"Probably." After a while, when Qin Shen thought that Zhang Tenghai would not open his mouth, he continued, "I got this string of beads when I was seventeen or eighteen years old. The owner of the beads told me that when I met When I have difficulties and cannot make a choice, I can go to Baota Temple to find Zen Master Guangzhi, and ask him to guide me in the maze."

Zhang Tenghai picked up a mutton fat jade bead, and looked at Qin Shen calmly, "I've thought a lot these past few days. I thought I could face life and death calmly. I overestimated myself. In fact, I'm just an ordinary person. .”

Qin Shen pursed his lips tightly.

"It's almost a red light, please drive carefully."

Qin Shen took a deep breath, and his heart slowly calmed down as the red light counted down, "Master Guangzhi has passed away for more than 50 years."

"Yeah." Zhang Tenghai smiled indifferently, "There is no need to live or die. Qin Shen, I have something to do at home, and I have to leave tomorrow. Boss Qin, I have to check out of the inn early."

Qin Shen suddenly clenched the steering wheel, turned his head too quickly, and his whole body turned sideways due to inertia, he glared at Zhang Tenghai, "You are avoiding me, you can't fall in love before you die, you just don't know when you are old ,Stubborn."

Zhang Tenghai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not considered very old, I'm only 36 years old."

Qin Shen also laughed, but it was an angry smile, a superficial smile, "Hehe, it's up to you, you can do whatever you like, labor and management have finally found someone who is tempted, if you want to try it, then forget it. Find a piece of money It's a tough old bone, I might as well find a fresh and tender little meat. Move it out for me tomorrow, the sooner the better, the room fee will not be refunded."

Zhang Tenghai clenched his fist hanging by his side, but there was no expression on his face, "Well, there is no need to retreat."

"Hey, that's generous enough."

Qin Shen shook his head, he didn't want to talk to the old man at all, he was actively trying to find a way to save Zhang Chenhai's life, but it was good for him to back off early!

pissed him off.

Diudiu looked at the angry father, then at the expressionless Uncle Zhang, who lowered his head and stroked his big white and soft long hair.In the carriage, there was only the "purring" sound from the big fat cat's throat. It was heartless, and it hooked its paw sideways to let Diu Diu scratch other places, which was very comfortable.

When he arrived at the hotel, Qin Shen asked Diu Diu and the others to wait for him in the car, so as not to go out in the hot weather and die in the sun, he went into the hotel by himself to find his parents.

The table where my mother played cards was surrounded by a group of people on three floors and three floors outside.

"The God of Gamblers is alive, I have never seen her lose."

"I didn't lose at all, okay? I wonder if she cheated a lot. How did she win everything?"

"Look at her opponent, her face is swollen with gas. She has lost hundreds of times, and she still refuses to give up."

"Fortunately, I stopped quickly. The fear of being dominated by the God of Gamblers is too scary. Mom, I want to go home. I firmly promise that I will not play mahjong for a year."

Qin Shen stood on tiptoe and looked inside. His mother was as stable as Mount Tai on the table, with a gentle expression on her face, and the other three people at the table with her, one was furious, jealous of losing, throwing mahjong like a bomb Yes, looking straight at his mother, determined that he will definitely win this one... The other two two battles, already starting to retreat, their eyes drifting left and right in the crowd, there is no need to suspect that they want to cheat, they I'm looking for someone to take over.

Anyone who has tried it knows the fear of being dominated by the goddess of the card table.

Some of the onlookers were eager to try, wanting to be the one who defeated the goddess.

Qin Shen twitched, and looked at them sympathetically. His mother had never lost in poker, and those who played for money were just for fun. No one in the town would take his mother to accompany him.

Whoever pulls her to play cards together will be committing suicide.

Qin Shen waved his hand, Lin Gaofeng, who was by his mother's side, saw it, and whispered in his wife's ear, Qin Jing gave him a slap in the face, Qin Shen shrunk his head and smiled apologetically.

Qin Jing twitched the corner of her mouth coldly, and pushed Mahjong, "I won't play anymore, it's really boring, no one wins."

Comrades who built the Great Wall at the same table: "..."

Onlookers: "..."

Inexplicably, I feel that everyone is despised together... There are arrows on my knees, it hurts so much.

Qin Jing separated from the crowd and walked out under everyone's silent gaze. When she came to Qin Shen, she raised her hand and gave her son a slap in the face, "Speak on the sidelines, I have something to ask you."

The crisp sound woke everyone up. Everyone looked down at Qin Jing's cards like a dream. They drew themselves and won...

Qin Shen was dragged into a corner by Qin Jing, obediently daring not to disobey, his intuition told him that his mother was very business-like now, a group of poker friends had already had bad luck, and now it was his turn.

Holding his mother's hand like a dog's leg, Qin Shen said obsequiously: "Mom, are you hungry or thirsty? I'll buy you a drink."

"No need." Qin Jing looked at the eldest son quietly, "I don't think it's right after thinking about it. Is that Xiao Zhang the same person from back then?"

"Mom, what are you talking about." Now, he himself is not very sure.

"If yes, I'll take the knife when I get home..."

"Mom, murder is against the law." Qin Shen grabbed his mother's hand tightly.

Qin Jing looked at Qin Shen coolly, "Buried in the inn, no one will know."

"...Mom, it's over." Qin Shen scratched his head in distress, "That person had a scar on his face back then."

"Diudiu is very similar to him, it is almost carved out of the same mold."

"What, Diu Diu obviously looks like me."

Qin Jing smiled and touched her son's big head, "Son, people must be self-aware. Diudiu looks much better than you when you were young. Go back and pull out that man's hair. I will send him to the hospital for a paternity test. If it is really him, He doesn't have to go back."

"Quiet, don't be impulsive, calm down." Lin Gaofeng looked at his wife, his eyelids twitching, afraid that she would really do something.

"Hehe, my son has been pregnant by him, and his future and life have changed greatly." The only son of my younger brother, who was supposed to grow up carefree, has more twists and turns because of Zhang Tenghai, "I don't want to be quiet."

"Mom, you are quiet..."

Qin Jing squinted, "Don't try to fool around with jokes."

Qin Shen looked at his father pleadingly, and asked him to stop his mother, he was getting a big head now, the old man Zhang wanted to leave, and his mother wanted to kill someone, each one was more difficult to deal with.

Grandpa, if only you were here.

Grandpa couldn't hear Qin Shen's heart, and couldn't come to save his poor grandson, so he kept carefully watching his mother's face while driving, seeing that she was always calm, hugging Diudiu and teasing cats with him, he felt in his heart I'm even more anxious.

"Is it going to rain this day?" Dad sat in the passenger seat, looked at the sky through the front windshield, and said with a sigh.

"No way, the weather forecast says that it will be sunny in the near future. Dad, look, there is still the sun over there." Qin Shen motioned to his father to watch from the side window, the sun was shining brightly.

"Then you look at the sky from the front."

"Dad, I'm driving. I keep watching. It seems that a dark cloud happened to block the sun."

"It's possible." Lin Gaofeng turned his head to look at his wife and grandson, and glanced at his son's face, "What's wrong with you, elder brother, why is your face a little pale?" Thinking of what happened just now, he reacted and comforted him in a low voice He, "Your mother loves you so much, she won't be really impulsive to take the knife, that is, just talk about it. What's your relationship with Xiaozhang?"

Qin Shen lifted the corner of his mouth to smile, but he showed an expression uglier than crying, "What could it be, he just lives in my shop." He thought it had something to do with it, but he refused to let him.

"Dudiu has grown up so much, you don't want to get married and fall in love, say you don't like girls, we will let you. But you have been single and lonely, if there is a man you like, find a partner too." Lin Gaofeng is an old man. People who don't understand why "women don't like men, but they don't like men", but they don't understand but they don't want to force their sons, and they don't want to see their sons alone all the time.

"Dad, I will."

He wiped the sweat off his forehead, his nerves were highly tense, and the muscles of his whole body were tense. He was more nervous than any mission he had performed in the past, and he had never panicked before.After coming out of the White Pagoda Temple, the sight that couldn't find its source has been following him like a shadow, becoming more and more intense, like a substance, like a glow on his back.

The clouds above their heads gradually thickened, covering the bright sunlight, to the point where it was impossible to ignore, and there seemed to be silver flashes looming in the clouds.

Qin Shen swallowed, his Adam's apple slipped, but he didn't let his heart "into" his chest, his heart had already jumped into his throat.

"Xiao Zhang, what's wrong with you!"

The mother's cry startled Qin Shen, who was highly nervous, and quickly looked over, only to see Zhang Tenghai, who was sitting at the end, slumped on the seat, and passed out at some point.

"Mom, mom, look what's wrong with people?"

Mom shouted, "You drive well."

Qin Shen calmed down and continued to drive. They had already entered the town. Fortunately, there was no one on the road. Just like he just drove blindly, because he was excited, he even stepped on the accelerator. It would be easy to kill one or two people.

Mom bent over and went over to check on Zhang Tenghai, "Is he sick?"

"There's a tumor in my head, it's terminal."

Mom cursed, "Then why is he here, he's here to make things difficult for you!"

"Mom." Qin Shen begged.

"My sons and daughters are all debts. I really owe you." Qin Jing supported Zhang Tenghai and made Qin Shen turn around, "Go to the medical clinic and find Dr. Meng."

"Don't go to the hospital?"

"The small rundown hospital in the town only looks at people with colds and fevers. What do you expect them to do?" Qin Jing is a nurse who has retreated to the second line in the hospital, and she knows very well what the town hospital is like. "Hurry up, maybe What can Dr. Meng do?"

"Oh." Qin Shen nodded hastily.

He gave a direction, the car turned fast and violently, and the people in the car were staggering to and fro, but the big white cat lying on the window remained motionless, its amber eyes were staring at the thicker and thicker clouds in the sky. There was a human expression on his face, thoughtful.

…………

Hongye Town is not big, Qin Shen drove in the streets and alleys at a drifting speed, and it took him 10 minutes to get there in what was supposed to be a 10-minute journey.

There was a "stinging" braking sound. Thanks to the excellent performance of this car, it stopped as soon as it said it would stop. Before the car was stable, Qin Shen pulled the handbrake and got out of the car. He pushed open the door behind and carried Zhang Tonghai out, staggering. I almost fell when I stood up too hard.

He was shocked to find that Zhang Tenghai, who was more than 1.8 meters and five meters tall, had lost much weight.

Slowly, not daring to delay, he rushed into the hospital with the person in his arms.

In the medical hall, Doctor Meng sitting in the hall was concocting medicinal materials, and beside him stood a plump, strong little boy who was unrequitedly following along. The little fat man was holding a knife in his hand, and the broad knife was as big as his head. He couldn't hold it steady, as if it might fall anytime, smashing his chubby little feet in the sandals.

"Doctor Meng, come and have a look." Qin Shen carried him in and put him directly on the Arhat bed in the hall. His mother also came in and called Doctor Meng Zhang loudly.

Doctor Meng was not in a hurry to look at people, his eyes fell on the square inch of sky outside the door, half dark clouds, half clear sky, the dark clouds moved quickly and pressed down very low, and soon enveloped the sky over the medical hall.

He looked at Qin Shen, "You'd better go back to the inn now, otherwise it's not the person in your hands who died, but you."

Qin Shen looked around and found that only he could hear Doctor Meng's voice, "What's wrong?"

"Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation will fall at any time."

Qin Shen's heart skipped a beat. He finally realized what Rumang's gaze was behind him. Hasn't the 20-year time limit come yet? !

"You go back first, I'll take a look at this person for you, and then I'll send you to the inn. If you stay here, it will harm everyone."

Qin Shen let go of Zhang Tenghai's hand and stood up abruptly, startling his parents.

His face turned pale, and he seemed to hear the roar of thunder in his ears.

Doctor Meng waved his hand, and something like a fish scale spun and flew towards Qin Shen. Qin Shen raised his hand to grab it, and looked at Doctor Meng.

Meng Zhang said flatly: "Help me, let's go as soon as possible."

"Mom and Dad, look at him and Diudiu, I, I'll go back to the inn first." Without waiting for his parents' reaction, and without saying anything to Diudiu, Qin Shen ran away, and when he was about to run past the car, he The force on my feet forced me to turn around in one direction. I opened the door and got on the car, and the accelerator pedal was in one go. Two legs are as fast as four wheels.

The car flew away in the dust, and the dark clouds in the sky followed Qin Shen away.

The thunder and lightning that had been brewing on the dark clouds for more than an hour finally took shape, and the cold and chilling silver light struck down with a destructive force, making a loud "bang" sound that pierced the sky.

The residents of the town looked up at the sky one after another. On a clear afternoon in July, thunder struck for no reason!

Qin Shen felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end, and he felt like he had been electrified. He didn't have time to look up at the scales that suddenly grew bigger and covered the roof of the car. He now has a clear goal, which is to return to the inn as soon as possible.

There is only one goal in my eyes, it's getting closer...

Several more thunderstorms fell, one more powerful than the other, and the sound resounded through the sky. The ordinary residents of the town had retreated into their houses, and the monsters in the mountains and fields dared not make any movement.

Baishuiguan, tens of kilometers away, frowns at the simple agreement. Simple is simple, but there are some troubles in actual operation, and they have to think carefully.

But in the end, it still needs to be signed. Zhang Xiyao has waited for more than 20 years for the resident qualification of Wangxiang Inn.

Now I have finally given the opportunity to my hands, and I have not said that I will give up.

He was about to write, when there was a sudden bang in the distance, he looked up at the sky, and carefully distinguished.

Standing beside Zhang Xiyao are several elders, Tang Jide, director of external affairs, and Mo Chen, the tentative director of the Wangxiang Inn's resident office. The latter two suggestions are not for reference==.

The skinny Taoist priest Tang Jide also followed the viewer to look at the sky, "Could it be that a cannon is being fired somewhere, and the salute is now made like a bomb."

Zhang Xiyao didn't bother to talk to this disciple anymore.

An elder explained, "Could it be that there is a big demon crossing the catastrophe?"

Another elder said, "We all know the old guys in human cultivation, there is no one who can make such a big commotion."

"Hmph, if you have something, don't tell the world."

"I don't know which big monster it is. It would be bad if it came out to cause trouble in the world. We must prepare early for the disaster that happened a hundred years ago to happen again."

Zhang Xiyao recognized it for a long time, and murmured, "Why do I think that direction is Wangxiang Inn?"

"Well, if it's over there, anything is possible."

"Sign!" Zhang Xiyao made a name for himself in the agreement, "It's my fault. The boss gave us a chance and still hesitated. It shouldn't have happened."

He looked at Mo Chen, "I haven't replied to the boss as soon as possible after delaying for so long, you can do it, Chen'er, no, it's better to leave early tomorrow morning. It's impolite to go there at night, pack your luggage when you go tomorrow, definitely Properly give the gift prepared in Guan to the boss to show our sincerity."

Mo Chen cupped his fists, "I know Master."
