The surrounding villagers felt a chill down their spines upon hearing the sound.

Another piercing scream echoed, and the originally bright midday sky was suddenly covered by a dark cloud.

Sweat beaded on Xingyang Daoshi’s forehead.Full novel: Mortal Inn, Immortal Guests — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

He immediately said, “All villagers, leave this place immediately!”

The villagers also sensed that something was wrong and nodded in agreement, quickly leaving the old man’s house, with only Wang Xiaohui’s father at the very end.

Lei Yun smirked, and said to Wang Xiaohui’s father, “Uncle, don’t worry, hurry and leave, we’ll handle things here.”

Wang Xiaohui’s father took a deep look in the direction of the old man, and nodded.

After everyone left, only Xingyang Daoshi, Chujiu, Lei Yun, and the bound old man remained.

“Old Lei, lend me a hand!” Xingyang Daoshi roared.

Lei Yun hastily put away his playful and lazy appearance, instantly becoming unusually serious, conjuring a golden pen in his hand, and slowly walked behind the old man.

The two exchanged a look, as if returning to the days sixty years ago when they fought demons together.

Lei Yun drew a talisman behind the old man, and Xingyang Daoshi also held up the peach wood sword and shouted loudly, golden light rippling all around, adding power to Lei Yun’s talisman.

The demon inside the old man’s body finally couldn’t bear it and suddenly revealed its true form.

A weasel demon was floating above the old man, controlling him, and he was now desperately struggling against the red rope.

The red rope gradually snapped, and Chujiu quickly dodged to the side.

Lei Yun, with the aid of Xingyang Daoshi’s power, brought the talisman forward and struck it hard against the old man’s body.

In an instant, half of the dark energy around the old man disappeared, leaving only endless wailing sounds.

Next, the two of them acted in the same way, casting several talismans to strike the old man’s body.

“This evil creature is truly hateful, unwilling to leave the host’s body!” Xingyang Daoshi said angrily, his eyes staring at the old man’s body like copper bells.

“This host’s body can’t be damaged any further.”

Lei Yun frowned slightly, and said: “Xiao Yangzi, what if I use the Yin Jade to lure him out?”

Xingyang Daoshi thought for a moment, and nodded quickly, happily saying: “I’ll be careful.”

Lei Yun nodded, the golden pen disappeared from his hand, and in an instant, a white jade pendant appeared in Lei Yun’s palm.

As soon as he approached the old man, the weasel demon couldn’t help but want to get closer.

The Yin Jade is a treasure that all demons cannot resist, and this weasel demon was no exception.

He cautiously became alert, carefully trying to get closer.

Lei Yun and Xingyang Daoshi exchanged glances, and Xingyang Daoshi suddenly launched an attack, taking out a silver-white fishing net from his arms and throwing it towards the weasel demon above.

Then, a lightning-like scene appeared on the old man’s body.

Lei Yun’s mind trembled, and he quickly put away the Yin Jade, silently chanting the Clear Heart Mantra to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.

“Are you okay?” Xingyang Daoshi happily asked.

“I’m fine, luckily I took it back quickly, this Yin Jade is really evil enough.” Lei Yun was almost affected by it just now.

The weasel demon had been captured by Xingyang Daoshi, and Chujiu came forward holding a gourd to put him in and held it in front of his chest.

“This weasel demon’s cultivation is clearly not high, but its power is extremely strong.” Xingyang Daoshi looked at Lei Yun suspiciously and said.

Lei Yun frowned and said: “I also noticed it.”

Chujiu had already started telling the villagers to clean up the mess and put the old man’s body in the coffin.

Lei Yun looked up at the sky above Liujia Village: “That’s the place to solve my confusion.”

“The land in Liujia Village was not very good to begin with, and it’s connected to the Huai King’s tomb. In recent years, the evil Taoist Zhao Jiufang killed so many people there. Now that Zhao Jiufang is dead, that land has completely lost control. It is estimated that many Yin spirits have gone there.”

“Asking me to go is to purify it.”

Xingyang Daoshi, shook his head and said: “Only I can afford to hire you.”

“Looking at the surrounding mountains, this Liujia Village probably isn’t too big. I have to collect souls and change the Feng Shui, it’s difficult.”

Lei Yun looked up at Chujiu, who was busy on the side, and said: “Don’t you have a disciple? Let him practice.”

Xingyang Daoshi shook his head slightly and said that he had made a bad choice in friends.

The matter of Liujia Village had ended, and Lei Yun was ready to leave.

The villagers welcomed Xingyang Daoshi and Chujiu to leave at the entrance of the village, and then it was Lei Yun’s turn.

Before leaving, Lei Yun called Wang Xiaohui’s father to the side, and said earnestly: “Uncle, these days I also feel that you are not a bad person, so I still have a word of advice to give, when a person dies, they are dead, no matter how hard you try to keep them, it’s useless. If you are really sincere to her, let her reincarnate quickly, maybe she can cultivate a next life and meet again.”

Wang Xiaohui’s father’s face was flushed, his eyes were sluggish, thinking about what Lei Yun said.

Lei Yun patted him on the shoulder, and then said to Wang Xiaohui and others behind him: “Thank you everyone, I will definitely come to visit when I have the chance.”

Then Lei Yun got into the villager’s tractor and left Xiaowang Village.

He took a bus in Wucheng, and then took a train all the way back to Huaicheng smoothly.

Next door to the inn is a coffin shop. The current boss is a thin man who just took over the shop from his father a few years ago.

The fat man is not very old, about thirty years old, and Lei Yun watched him grow up.

After graduating from elementary school, he went out to work hard for two years, before realizing that life and death in big cities was too cruel, so he returned to Fenjiang Road.

At first, he also wanted to change his business, but there was no decent store on this street. The only two barbershops and Lanzhou ramen shops were supported by the people on this street.

Helpless, the thin man honestly accepted his father’s business.

It is strange to say that although Lei Yun has lived on this Hejiang Road for thousands of years, it seems that no one has ever suspected him of anything. For some reason, in the eyes of others, he just changes his appearance every few years, and then automatically changes his identity.

In the eyes of the thin man next door, he is now a young man from the countryside who came to the inn to visit relatives three years ago.

The fat man’s surname is Gao, and his fleshy round face has small eyes. He usually smiles brightly when he sees acquaintances.

But who wants to see his smile when they go to buy a coffin? After all, no one buys a coffin for no reason.

At this time, it was noon, and he was sitting leisurely at the door eating noodles.

Lei Yun glanced at it, and it was indeed the Lanzhou ramen from the shop at the street entrance. Before he could speak, the thin man slowly and leisurely said: “Xiao Lei, you’re back.”

He must have been very excited, and he actually dropped his bowl, and then strode towards Lei Yun with his thick legs.

Lei Yun paused and greeted him: “Brother Gao, eating?”

The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: “You’re finally back, Xiao Lei?”

Lei Yun was a little puzzled, looking at him with some curiosity.

The fat man quickly said: “Someone came to find you after you left that day. That person was driving a luxury car and had bodyguards.” The fat man was a little excited, gesticulating and continuing: “That car was a Rolls-Royce, wow, Xiao Lei, who exactly did you meet?”

Lei Yun frowned and was a little puzzled.

“Brother Gao, I don’t know any rich people, maybe you got it wrong.”

At this time, it was noon, and not many trees were planted on both sides of Deying Road, otherwise, they would have been roasted alive by the sun.

The fat man was most afraid of the heat, but the coffin shop had to be open all day long.

Seeing that Lei Yun said he didn’t know him, he was too lazy to ask, and quickly returned to his shop to blow the fan.

The inn is not open during the day, but now times are different. Lei Yun still occasionally removes a door panel during the day to show that there is no one inside.

After returning to the inn, he took a good bath, ordered takeout, and then burned some paper money for those underworld runners, and burned half of the blood pearls he had earned during this period.

Coincidentally, the delivery man this time was the same express delivery brother as last time. The brother rode his electric car around the door twice before stopping, and said as soon as he entered: “Handsome guy, why isn’t my lantern hung up?”

After speaking, he looked inside and saw Lei Yun squatting in front of the brazier burning paper. The light in the inn was dim, and the firelight shone on Lei Yun’s face, revealing a bit of horror.

The brother was so scared that he took a few steps back.

Lei Yun got up, smiled at the brother, and then opened the back door, and the inn instantly became bright.

“I scared you, I’m sorry.”

The brother covered his heart and shook his head, putting the takeout on the counter and said: “I said handsome guy, why are you burning paper in broad daylight? It’s scary.”

Lei Yun grinned and raised his eyebrows and said: “No way, the business is too bad, burn some paper to bless your business to flourish.”

The little brother thought about it and nodded, saying: “It’s not that I’m saying, your inn is too remote, and besides, there are coffin shops nearby, who would come to your inn to stay.”

The brother might be free today, and he was about to talk to Lei Yun about business, when suddenly a voice sounded in front.

“Is shopkeeper Lei here?”

The brother turned around and saw a handsome young man in a suit smiling and asking.

The brother could be considered a bit knowledgeable. He glanced outside and saw a black Rolls-Royce parked next to his electric car.

Instantly, the brother’s eyes changed, looking at Lei Yun with admiration and envy.

Lei Yun smiled at him and said, “Look, business is here.”

The brother made a Jianghu person’s cupped fist gesture, and then said: “Handsome guy, I admire you, let’s chat another day.” Then he took an order and rode his big electric car away.

Lei Yun shook his head and smiled, thinking: “This person is really interesting.”

“I’m the shopkeeper, is there anything I can do for you?” Lei Yun walked to the counter, opened the takeout, and a fragrant bowl of braised chicken and rice came into view.

The young man in the suit took out a business card and handed it to Lei Yun: “My boss wants to meet you.”

Lei Yun raised his eyebrows and glanced at the business card.

Tiansheng Group President Lu Wen

Lei Yun threw down the business card, broke off the disposable chopsticks and said lazily: “I’m not going, tell your boss, I don’t know him.”

Surname Lu, Lei Yun remembered the man who came to deliver a dream that night, and wanted to slap himself twice, why was he so greedy for money.

But the next takeout made him put away his thoughts again.
