C479 Lightning and Thunder
Just as they were talking, there was a sudden clap of thunder, and Miss Nangong was so frightened that her face changed. Immediately after that, a white lightning bolt flashed above everyone's heads. Everyone in the hall had their expressions change under the bright light, and the sound of rushing water could be heard. It was actually raining heavily. The power of a heavenly duke was unpredictable.
However, no one seemed to notice anything unusual.
This lightning was after the thunder.
The news release date for Siwu Inn this time was chosen at Zi Shi, which was two hours later. Everyone sat on the seats, quietly waiting for that moment to arrive.
This thunderstorm had caused the noisy hall to become silent for a moment.
"What the hell is this weather? Why can't we wait for the guests to leave before going down?" Yang Shan, who was standing at the door, sounded a little melancholy. Perhaps it was because of the rain. Maybe it was because he was worried that the guests would not leave because of the rain, so he picked up the door lock. He planned to close the door in the middle of the storm.
"Someone knocked on the door. Only now did Zhang Jingxuan remember that not far away from them, another group of people had come. He just didn't expect that they would be delayed for so long before arriving.
The waiter, Yang Shan, opened the door again without any good mood. A group of five people immediately rushed in amid the rainstorm.
Yang Shan saw that all five of them were wearing bamboo hats, and there was a black curtain under the bamboo hats. Although it could be said that they were blocking the wind and rain, they entered the room. They didn't take off their bamboo hats. He was stunned for a moment when he couldn't see their faces. He didn't know how to receive them.
"Everyone, are you staying at the hotel? Come in and take off your bamboo hats."
The Siwu Inn had been open for many years, and it wasn't as if no one had come to cause trouble. However, they had never heard of anyone who had gotten a good deal.
The first of the five people did not take off his bamboo hat, "Waiter, the five of us accidentally caught a cold and gave birth to a heavenly flower. We will stand here and listen to the news this time, so as to not spread the news to the other guests." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed out a small package. He slightly opened it and saw that it was glittering with golden light. There was at least a hundred taels of gold.
Yang Shan frowned. "Put it at the counter at the door. In that case, you guys can stay at the door. Make way, don't block me from closing the door."
Zhang Jingxuan noticed that those few people didn't show their faces. He recalled the incident in Zhengyi Sect and paid attention to those few people. The person who spoke first had a northwest accent, so he shouldn't be Japanese. However, he still didn't dare to be careless.
At this time, Zheng Mingyan was full, so there wasn't much to see. He was no longer excited at the beginning. He was fighting with his eyelids up and down. Pang Yueluo wanted to take him upstairs to sleep, but Zhang Jingxuan and Zheng Mengsen were worried. He let him lie on the table and rest for a while.
The sound of the wind and rain made everyone feel a little restless. They were only a little more than two hours away, but the closer they got, the harder it was to bear.
Suddenly, the door was slammed against the mountain again. Yang Shan, who was lying on the counter at the door, heard a loud bang. He had already snored lightly and was startled. He cursed, "Who the hell is this?! Why would he knock on the door in the middle of the night? Didn't you see the sign that was full of customers outside the door? There's no room left. We won't be receiving guests tonight!"
After hearing his words, the sound of the door being smashed was even louder and more urgent. It was mixed with the sound of unclean voices that came in.
"This crappy shop of yours is really hard to find. It's so easy for Grandpa to come on a rainy day. If I don't open the door, I'll smash the door of your store. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."
Yang Shan was so angry. The weather was not good, and he had even met such a useless customer. It sounded like if he didn't open the door, the door would really be broken and someone would barge in. This wasn't a cave either. Could it be that Zhu Bajie had to use a nail to break open the door?
Sigh, there was no other way. In the end, he still had to open the door. When he met such unreasonable people... If he couldn't do it, he could only open the door and give it a good beating before throwing it out.
The five men at the door wore bamboo hats on their heads. The bamboo hat! They all moved aside to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
"Coming, coming. Wait for me to open the door." Yang Shan went over to unblock the door and opened it. The door was pushed open with a palm. The raindrops mixed with the strong wind rolled in. A fierce man rushed in with the raindrops. And another man who was not that fierce. The fierce man was skinny, short, and small. He was not as fierce as the fierce man. He was chubby, chubby, and big.
Behind the two of them was a bright and beautiful monk. He smiled with a kind and modest expression on his face. There seemed to be something interesting hidden in the curve of his mouth. Whether it was his facial features or his figure, they were almost perfect. Even his bald head did not harm his elegance at all. Instead, it made him look extraordinarily handsome. Mixed with the dark and cold rainy night and the filthy inn, it was filled with an inharmonious beauty.
Because this monk was so dazzling that even the big guy did not notice it at the beginning. His hands were still dragging two chains, locking a person. This person was almost dragged all the way here, his face and body were covered in mud and rain.
Zhang Jingxuan looked at him and felt that this monk was treating this person in such a way. He didn't know what kind of sin he had committed. He looked at this man a few more times and found that this man was somewhat familiar. He looked like Soo Qiulai, who had fought Mi Ouping in Xiangyang that day. How could such a strong and powerful man be in such a state?
Although they were not friends or even on the same side, Cult Master Zhang would not be able to eat and sleep if he did not mind his own business.
"This big monk, may I ask why you locked him up? What crime did he commit?"
The corner of the monk's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled without saying anything.
"He has committed a grave sin, and he has committed a crime against the heavens. That's why I want him to suffer endless torture. Until his unforgivable sin is worn away. " As he spoke, his hand lightly tugged at the iron chain. However, on the other side of the chain, Soo Qiulai seemed to have suffered a great pain. He gritted his teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard.
Zhang Jingxuan still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Yang Shan, who was slightly angry. The anger on his face had turned so faint that there was no trace of it. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.
"What the hell is this? Can you hit the door lightly next time? Let's see. The door is full. At this time, the official business is about to begin. You guys can find a place to sit."
The fierce-looking young man did not seem like he wanted to provoke Yang Shan. He took the lead and rushed into the lobby. He shouted at the four people at the nearest table, "Get up! Didn't you see that I'm here? Give me the table!" The burly man who was not very fierce also shouted," Make way, make way. " His voice was soft and weak, as if he was a passerby who wanted to borrow a path.
The monk looked at him with a smile. He slapped the tail of the iron chain on his left palm with his right hand. The rhythmic movement of the iron chain transmitted the pain to the other end of the line. It was like a wave hitting the other end of the line. It didn't stop.
