The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#808 - The Deity's Visit

The sky was about to turn completely dark.

Lu Jing still wanted to find someone to inquire further about Bai Longbo, but soon there were hardly any people to be seen on the street, and every household had tightly closed their doors and windows.

So Lu Jing could only return to the inn where he was staying.

This time he came back from the other side, and when he reached the west side of the gate, he suddenly stopped and looked down at his feet, not knowing what he was looking at.

Just then, the shopkeeper poked his head out and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Jing, "This guest, you've finally returned... We were just about to close the door, if you hadn't shown up, we would have locked you outside."

Lu Jing pointed to the half-inch thick wooden board in the hand of a nearby waiter and asked, "Can this thing stop the Brahma God?"

The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically upon hearing this name, and he looked around nervously before saying to Lu Jing, "It's best for the guest to be cautious in his words and actions."

Lu Jing didn't say anything more after hearing this, and just returned to his room, only to find one person missing when he went downstairs to eat.

"Where's Yan Yun?" Lu Jing asked Wen Xiaochuan, who shared a room with Yan Yun.

"Sister Yan is with the guide we just hired named Shitou, they seem to be going somewhere, and haven't returned until now," Wen Xiaochuan said.

The waiter who was serving the dishes was shocked to hear this, "You...you still have people outside?"

Lu Jing looked at the waiter and comforted him, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll open the door when she comes back, it won't trouble you."

"It's not a matter of trouble," the waiter said anxiously, "The city of Wulan absolutely cannot open its doors after dark."

"Is that so, then I'll have her climb through the window."

"Climbing through the window is also not allowed!" The shopkeeper also noticed the commotion here and walked over, only to hear words that made his blood pressure soar.

Then he said with a wry smile, "Guests, please don't treat this matter as a child's play. In the past half month, more than twenty people have died at his hands. The Brahma Sect is also holding a ceremony today to appease him, and those of us who are still in the city are praying every day that he doesn't come to our door."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

The shopkeeper immediately shuddered, a look of terror in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, it should be our companion returning," Wen Xiaochuan said as she stood up, ready to open the door.

But before she could take two steps, the knocking stopped.

Silence returned outside.

Wen Xiaochuan asked, "Sister Yan, is that you?"

However, there was no response from outside.

The shopkeeper's face was now devoid of color, and he said in a trembling voice, "It...it's him, he's here, quickly, quickly put out the lights, everyone, from now on, don't speak anymore."

In fact, without his instructions, the waiters had already moved, extinguishing all the oil lamps in the shop and blowing out the lanterns.

Professor Xu had just picked up his chopsticks when he found that it was completely dark in front of him, and he had no idea what he was picking up.

Everyone held their breath in the darkness.

And apart from the previous knocking, there was no other movement from outside. After a while, a waiter released the hand covering his mouth and nose, and lowered his voice to say, "Has...has he left?"

As if to answer his question, the next moment, several muffled thuds came from above his head, and this time the thuds lasted for a long time.

It was as if someone was pounding violently.

"He...he, he's planning to come in through the window," a waiter said in horror.

"Are the windows all tightly closed?" the shopkeeper asked anxiously.

"They're all closed tightly as you said, and we've added locks."

"That's good, that's good."

Hearing the waiter say this, the people in the inn seemed to feel a little more at ease.

However, before they could catch their breath, they heard a sound of shattering.

Then the thudding sound disappeared.

But this instead made everyone's spirits tense to the extreme, because it meant that the Brahma God had already entered the inn!

Thinking of the more than twenty people who had died at his hands before, the people in the inn looked ashen.

Moreover, the movement when that person rushed up was very alarming, probably audible for miles around.

In just two leaps, he had already reached the second floor, and then everyone heard a bang, mixed with someone's muffled groan.

The shopkeeper's heart immediately turned cold, thinking that it was over, the person who went up must be gone.

Because what broke the door was the statue of the deity, even if it was hit, it wouldn't make a sound, so the one who was beaten must be the rash fool who just rushed up.

And thinking that such a powerful master had been taken down by the opponent in one move.

The shopkeeper felt that these people were doomed tonight.

As he thought about what his wife and children would do after his death, he wondered if they would be able to find the large sum of money he had saved.

But then he heard a voice say, "Light the lights."

"No...we didn't see you, Immortal, please be merciful and let us go!" the shopkeeper knelt on the ground and begged incessantly.

Lu Jing was speechless, "It's me, the guest who just checked in."

The shopkeeper finally recognized Lu Jing's voice at this time and was about to get up to light the lamp.

Then he heard a rather fierce voice say, "Don't light the lights, I am the Black Night Venerable under the Brahma God, if you see my face, the Brahma God will not let you go!"

"Give it a rest," Lu Jing said unhappily, "If you're the Black Night Venerable, then I'm the Dark Destroyer, you've already been caught by me, so stop trying to act like a ghost."

The shopkeeper was still hesitating, but a slightly bolder waiter lit a lantern next to him, and the originally pitch-black inn regained some light.

Then everyone saw Lu Jing standing in the center of the hall, holding a person in his hand.

After a while, someone recognized the person, "Han San, how is it you?"

Lu Jing asked the person who spoke, "Do you know who he is?"

That person nodded, "His name is Han San, he's just a small thief, always idle and doing petty theft, later, I don't know how, he was taken in by a big thief and taught him a good set of lightness skills, many families in the city have been visited by him."
