Chapter 22 Longmen Inn

The next day, the sun rose into the sky.

There was an uproar in Longmen City, and many Jianghu people were already traveling together, preparing to leave the customs and head to the desert.

News has spread in the world that the day when Dabai Shang's national treasure will be born may be within these two days.

Most of these people in the world are here for this purpose, and of course some are just here to join in the fun, but they don’t want to miss the treasure being revealed. Even if they don’t get the treasure, they still have to see the world to see if it can only appear once in a lifetime.

What does the black sandstorm in the desert look like?

In this vast desert in the northwest, there are foreign countries such as the Yuan, Jin, and Liao to the north, and the Song Dynasty to the west. There are often caravans coming from the desert to trade with the Ming Dynasty, so the customs clearance procedures are not complicated, as long as you can

Once you prove your identity, you can cross the border and exit.

Of course, after leaving seclusion, one is responsible for life and death, which has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.

However, people in the world of martial arts live a life of licking their own blood. If something happens to them and they need help from the government, they would be embarrassed to say that they are a member of the society.

Now that they dare to join in the fun, how can they be afraid of any danger?

Therefore, not long after dawn, many people in the world were already leaving the customs, heading towards the place where Dabai Shangguo was believed to be born.

And among the groups of people in the world, three figures riding tall horses slowly passed through the wind and sand, and the sound of conversation could be heard faintly:

"Lord Governor, another wave of Jianghu people came last night, and a fight broke out in the city. Many people died. According to the investigation of Jin Yiwei, it was found that most of the deceased had small wounds, but they were obviously killed by sword wounds. The person who took action was probably

It’s Blackstone’s gold medal killer ‘Drizzle’.”

"Well, who are the deceased people?"

"Most of them are members of gangs in the world, and there are also elders and disciples of some sects."

"That's probably because they hired someone to kill someone. Don't pay attention to them for the time being. When the treasure incident is over, we'll investigate these matters again."

"yes."

…

On top of a tall horse, Yu Huatian is dressed as an ordinary person in the world, with a silver sword hanging from his waist and a white dress. He is less of the usual splendor and majesty and more of a free and elegant spirit of walking around with a sword.

Following next to him were Zhao Tong, who was still carrying a double-headed gun, and Ding Xiu, who was dressed as a warrior. The long and slender imperial saber was hung beside the horse's back.

For the sake of convenience, Yu Huatian chose to separate from Jin Yiwei.

He took Zhao Tong and Ding Xiu to infiltrate the martial arts people and act behind the scenes; Ma Jinliang and Ji Xueyong took the masters of Xichang and Jinyiwei to wait outside the customs, waiting for dispatch.

Looking at the crowds of people around him, Yu Huatian said calmly: "Have you found any traces of the Sun and Moon God Sect?"

Zhao Tong whispered: "We haven't found anything yet, but according to Jin Yiwei's speculation, the people from the Sun and Moon God Sect may have already left seclusion."

Yuhuatian nodded slightly. Although proof of identity is required to exit the customs, it is not the only way to exit the customs through Longmen Pass according to the formal procedures. For Jianghu people, it is not difficult to get out of the customs from other places on the border, and this desert

It is vast and boundless, and it is very easy to hide people.

"Have the people from the Ming Cult shown up yet?"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "We haven't found it yet, but we found that the three secret agents of Tiandixuan from Hulong Villa are also here."

Yu Huatian's eyes moved slightly: "Duan Tianya, Gui Hai Yi Dao, Shangguan Haitang?"

"right."

Zhao Tong nodded.

Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his head and said: "They should be sent by Tiedan Shenhou. The emperor has told us that the people from Hulong Villa will help us seize the treasure. But since they don't want to join forces with us, then

Just don't pay attention to them, they will take action at the critical moment, otherwise they won't be able to pay their dues when they return."

"yes."

Amidst the lively chatter, the crowd gradually went deeper into the desert.

When he reached a slightly raised sand dune, Yuhuatian slowed down and looked at the yellow sand in the distance. Under the sunlight, it reflected a light golden color.

"The solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun is setting in the long river!" Yuhuatian couldn't help sighing.

Zhao Tong said respectfully: "The Governor is very talented in literature."

Yuhuatian glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

At this moment, someone in the distance suddenly exclaimed: "We're here, the place ahead should be where the treasures of Dabai Shangguo are buried!"

The crowd suddenly became agitated.

Yuhuatian also turned around and looked around, and saw some dilapidated buildings in the desert. The most conspicuous ones were the two stone tablets erected diagonally on both sides of the road.

The stone tablet is about two people high. Because it has been weathered, the writing on it can no longer be seen. Only the four characters "Dragon Gate" and "Feijia" can be vaguely seen.

Zhao Tong whispered: "According to rumors, what was originally written on this stone tablet was 'Laijia Feixinglong, Sand Sea Presents the Divine Gate'. The Feixinglong refers to the black sandstorm in the desert, and the Divine Gate refers to the treasure of Dabai Shangguo.

It is said that someone also speculated on the discovery of the treasure of Dabai Shangguo based on these two lines of poetry, but it was suddenly spread later for unknown reasons."

Yuhuatian nodded and asked, "Where are the people who came out of seclusion gathered before?"

Zhao Tong replied: "Ten miles away from here, there is a 'Dragon Gate Inn'. It is said to be run by a few Jianghu people. The desert is constantly changing. Sometimes some passing caravans cannot return to the customs and will choose to rest at the Dragon Gate Inn.

However, according to our people's inquiries, this Longmen Inn is probably a black shop, and businessmen who pass by often disappear in the Longmen Inn."

"The Jianghu people who came out of seclusion before should be resting at the Longmen Inn now, waiting for the black sandstorm to come."

“Dragon Gate Inn…”

Yu Huatian looked stunned, and his mind couldn't help but think of some plots about Longmen Inn in the original work. He vaguely seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

After pondering for a moment, he looked up at the road between the two stone monuments in front of him and said, "Go to Longmen Inn."

"yes."

…

There is a cloud in the northwest sky.

Under the sunlight, the clouds seemed to be dyed with a faint golden halo.

Under the clouds is the endless yellow sand desert.

And in the middle of this yellow sand desert, stands a lonely building. Perhaps it has been in disrepair, or the owner of the building has never thought of renovating it. This building is in dilapidated condition, even the two-story building in the center.

The plaques hanging at the door of the small building were corroded by the sand and began to rot. They were hung crookedly at the door, swaying gently with the sound of the wind and making a "click" sound, for fear that they would fall off accidentally.

It was noon and the sun was hot, but the inn was surrounded by people dressed in different styles. Some were sitting together, drinking heavily and talking loudly; some were bare-chested and competing in martial arts in the sun, and some were watching.

From time to time, cheers came from the crowd.

The inn was also very lively. Through the door, you could hear the clinking of cups and cups, and sometimes bold and excited shouts:

"There are so many left, how about raising fish?"

"Come and drink! Finished..."

"Big, big...fuck-"

…

A dilapidated Longmen Inn has gathered so many people in the world because of a rumor that is not yet true or false.

Perhaps even the owner of Longmen Inn has never thought that one day this place would be so lively.

Looking at this lively and prosperous scene at this time, people can't help but sigh: This is the Jianghu!

"Tap-ta-"

At this moment, a crisp sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance. The people around the inn looked back, then withdrew their gaze and continued what they were doing.

People from all walks of life often come here these days. Unless there is someone particularly famous, there is nothing surprising about it.

The Jianghu people who came over looked at the scene in front of them and were also shocked. Although they knew that there were many people coming, they did not expect that there would be so many people.

However, looking at the crowds gathered outside, it was clear that many places around the inn were covered with hay under the eaves. It was obvious that these people were spending the night outside.

Seeing this situation, the Jianghu people who came from behind did not enter the inn immediately, but walked towards the crowd outside the inn, preparing to find out the situation of the Longmen Inn first.

But not everyone is like that.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, three figures riding tall horses stopped directly at the door of the inn, then tied the horses in the stable at the door of the inn, and walked towards the door of the inn, obviously preparing to enter the inn directly.

The crowd was suddenly stunned, and then many people from the Jianghu community who were originally gathered outside could not help but reveal a trace of ridicule in their eyes:

"These days, there are so many people who are not afraid of death!"

"I don't know how such a stupid young man is still alive today?"

"Huh? These three people look a bit familiar. They seem to be the ones who killed Tian Boguang and Huashan Disciple Linghu Chong before?"

"They are dressed in white and holding swords. They look handsome, and there are two guards beside them, a gunman and a swordsman. It should be them!"

"It's true... but so what? Don't look at the people living inside. Young people are really not afraid of death."

"If I remember correctly, people from the Huashan Sect seem to be in there too... Hehe, there's something exciting to watch now!"

…

The crowd whispered, and many people had gloating smiles on their faces, as if they had anticipated what would happen next.
To be continued...
