Chapter 120 The Strange Inn
Under the dim night, the entire street has fallen into a hazy darkness. Under such circumstances, the sudden extra lights should be very noticeable and will be discovered by people from afar. They will not be so close, but they will need to remind others to notice something strange.
More importantly, Qiu Yun could pat his chest and ensure that before Liu Ruohan pointed it out directly, he had no intention of reacting and detecting it. It was even as if just a moment ago, there were no lights in front of him, and there was no inn!
But there were really no lights last moment, and there were no inns?
Why does it seem like I have seen a few lights flashing by? And after all, this place is in the town and there are many houses. What I saw before might be in the inn, but I didn't pay attention to it at that time.
For some reason, as soon as he made a decision, the thought that suddenly arose in Qiu Yun's heart made him hesitate again. The deeper he thought about it, the more he found that Qiu Yun was unable to confirm it.
Is this your own consciousness confusion, or is it an illusion arising?
Subconsciously, Qiu Yun looked at the others around him, and then he found that Liu Ruohan's face was as normal, but Liu Ruoxue's face also had a look of shock and suspicion.
Obviously, even with the mental sense, Ruoxue could not really realize that there was anything strange.
There was a strange place suddenly appearing on the dim and quiet street, which was really suspicious. If it weren't for Liu Ruohan himself, Qiu Yun would have taken Liu Ruoxue away immediately. After safety, he would find a way to come here to try again.
"Okay, that's it. This inn is where we are looking for. You can basically get answers to what you want to know. Now, let's go in first."
Just as Qiu Yun and Liu Ruoxue looked at each other, communicated with each other, and were about to ask Liu Ruohan, she spoke directly, and then walked straight into the inner room without waiting for the two of them to answer, so that both of them were unresponsive.
After looking at each other again, Qiu Yun and the others were helpless. Knowing that something was wrong at this time, they could only go into the inn with Liu Ruohan.
They still believe in Liu Ruohan very much.
However, I don’t know if it was my illusion. When I crossed the threshold, Qiu Yun seemed to have crossed a long distance in an instant, giving me a sense of space confusion out of thin air.
Why do you suddenly feel this way?
"This is……"
The strange feeling made Qiu Yun particularly alert, so after entering the door, he not only sensed the surrounding situation, but also subconsciously looked back to see if there was any strange situation outside.
But when I saw this, the strange thing I found immediately surprised Qiu Yun, and I never expected that such a situation would happen.
At this time, looking out the door, you can only see a dark and hazy scenery. Except for the road about one meter in front of the door, you can't see any scenery clearly.
Don’t say that it’s too late and the moon is unclear, so you can’t see the scenery in the distance.
If an ordinary person is here, then he will not be able to see the scenery in the distance in the night, then there is naturally nothing strange. However, with Qiu Yun's perception ability, it can be seen within a hundred meters of dust, and he will definitely not be able to sense the situation behind him, let alone the scenery several meters away cannot be clearly seen.
This is clearly a strange situation.
However, even though he noticed this, Qiu Yun did not say much, but only confirmed his thoughts in his heart: This place is indeed unusual!
After all, Liu Ruohan led the two of them, so naturally they would not harm them.
After retracting his gaze, Qiu Yun immediately glanced into the store and immediately found that this looked just an ordinary inn. The floor above was not very clear, but the tables and chairs in the hall in front of him were very dilapidated. It felt a sense of shabby when he looked at it, just like those roadside inns that only worked hard to make two hard money, and there was nothing strange at all.
"A few more guests come? Just sit down just if you want to."
There were not many people in the store at this time, only a person like a waiter was standing behind the counter. The man was burly and dark in front of his open chest. He was said to be a waiter at the door, but in fact he looked more like a butcher.
After seeing Qiu Yun and the other two enter the door, there was no joy on his face. He took out a bun from a large steamer placed on the counter from time to time and filled it into his mouth. He spoke vaguely, and took out a teapot from behind and threw it on the counter. He just put it in one sway.
"There is tea here, so take it yourself if you want to drink it."
There is a sitting and tea, so don’t think too much about the rest.
For some reason, looking at the other party's ignorant attitude, Qiu Yun suddenly felt this feeling in his mind.
At least looking at the current attitude, the other party obviously would not come up to greet him like an ordinary inn, nor would he prepare any food. He was simply looking forward to the pose that Qiu Yun and the other two would turn around and leave directly.
It's really interesting, this inn is indeed not an ordinary inn.
As long as you are a little careful, it is not difficult to find that in just a moment, the other party has swallowed five or six fist-sized buns. Even though they are huge and can eat as much as they can, they should not have such a large amount of food. The only possibility is that the other party is not a real person.
However, the specific situation must be further tested. Maybe a bad situation will directly cause conflict, which is naturally not suitable.
“We are not here to spend time.”
Neither Qiu Yun nor Liu Ruoxue spoke, this time the plane trip was led by Liu Ruohan, and she must have been prepared for these things.
Sure enough, as Liu Ruohan spoke, the other party pointed directly at the stairs leading to the second floor. Although he did not open, his eating speed was a few beats slower. Obviously, he really attached great importance to this matter. Even the eyes of Qiu Yun and the other two looked at Qiu Yun and the other a little more serious and less lazy.
Unfortunately, even Qiu Yun could easily see that the other party should be just a "mind". Even if he knew something, he might not be able to know better than Liu Ruohan, who had already prepared for it. So Qiu Yun only took a look at it and followed Liu Ruohan to the second floor, without paying attention to him.
Qiu Yun didn't know why Liu Ruohan acted so strangely, but because of her trust, he naturally followed her instructions.
However, when he climbed to the second floor again, the strange feeling that had crossed the threshold before suddenly came again. Compared to the moment he had crossed the threshold, he could not sense clearly. This time, the steps of the few people were very steady and their speed was naturally not fast, so it took some time to climb to the second floor, so that Qiu Yun could clearly identify that this strange feeling was not his own illusion.
As I waited for someone to climb to the second floor, something strange had already happened.
As soon as he stood firm, Qiu Yun looked down again. As expected, as before, he was completely invisible to the scene downstairs. Apart from a few steps of stairs, it seemed that there was an endless abyss that could not be seen below.
This is obviously not unusual.
"Sister Ruohan, what's the situation? Since this is an inn, not the kind of tower, why does this happen? It's impossible that this is still a black store here, so how can we catch all of us?"
Qiu Yun naturally believed that Liu Ruohan would not have any malice, nor did he think that the people in the inn would have any particular hostility for no reason. However, this was obviously the first time he encountered this situation, so he naturally wanted to understand it.
"The key to an intermediate plane is extraordinary, and its core lies in lifespan, but it does not mean that other aspects will be the same as those of a low-level plane. In fact, in various abilities and cultivation systems, the intermediate planes far exceed those of a low-level plane. You should be very clear about these things."
Liu Ruohan knew what Qiu Yun wanted to ask, but these were actually just common sense, so she didn't have anything to hide, and she was even willing to tell them everything from scratch.
"Time and space, these two abilities may also be used in low-level planes, but that application is really rough and not even the surface. However, in intermediate planes, they are naturally different. They can really leverage time and space through practice, and then gain initial control of time and space. Just entering the inn and going to the second floor, it seems that we are just ordinary actions, but in fact, we have directly crossed thousands of miles at that moment. Now we are in a completely different place from the first floor or that small town. This is why you had that strange feeling before. In fact, your feeling is not wrong, and it has indeed crossed a long distance at once?"
"That strange feeling was actually caused by crossing space? It really has a different experience."
Qiu Yun couldn't help but shake his head and smile. It seemed that he knew too little.
In fact, it is said that if you and others are "traveling" from the real world to this parallel plane, you should not be so surprised by time, space, etc.
But in fact, there is not much feeling when you are "traveling through time". It seems that you will "arrive" directly through a door in an instant. It is completely different from the very clear feeling just now. There is even a special idea. If you can go back and forth without limit, you may really be able to understand the power of space through this.
Of course, there is nothing special about this after all. Qiu Yun and others can't really come and go around each other's shop all day long, but at this time Qiu Yun really cares about something.
"If everything is just like what Sister Ruohan said, then it means that the owner here is very strong? And if the inn is arranged like this, I am afraid that his character and strength are even more extraordinary. He is even among the top ones in all the intermediate planes!"
If you can master time and space, even if you only have a preliminary grasp, your strength is definitely the top in the plane and you will never be an unknown person.
What's more, judging from Qiu Yun's experience, at least the other party has reached a certain level of mastery of space abilities.
"Yes, if you really want to say, the strength of 'that' is probably not just an intermediate plane. Even if it is placed in a high plane, its strength is enough to be extraordinary. What is important is that you should know that in an intermediate plane, it is different from in a low plane. Although there are similarities in an intermediate plane, it is more different. It is entirely based on experience in a low plane, and it is inevitable that something will make mistakes and big mistakes will be made."
Qiu Yun naturally understood that this was a special reminder made by Liu Ruohan out of concern. If it were someone else, she would probably not pay much attention to it.
"Speaking of this plane, the special thing is here. It is not that easy for other planes to see the strong ones in the plane, but in this plane, as long as you are willing to seek a meeting, regardless of your identity or strength, it is really easy to see that person. You will not be blocked at all, let alone worry about any danger, as long as it is not a malicious provocation."
"So, those 'stories' are also to give the strongest 'that' to this plane?"
When Liu Ruohan said this, Qiu Yun had already fully understood it.
But if I think about it carefully, if I hadn't been the strongest person in the plane, how could I have achieved people's wishes at will?
But why do such a strong man collect "stories" and even seek out values that far exceed "stories"?
Could it be that there is something special about this so-called "story"?
"So many people came for the 'story'? I wonder if they were going to come on stage and tell their own 'story', or slowly listen to other people's 'story'?"
This second floor is obviously different from the first floor. At least the responsible "waiter" seems much more attentive, but his appearance is not very good. It looks like he feels cunning at first glance.
What's more, although Qiu Yun did not cover up his voice at this time, the voice was not high, but the other party had just heard it with his ears. He even came to the next to the three of them in a few steps and said directly "pleasing".
Liu Ruohan did not immediately, and Qiu Yun did not speak, and even took this opportunity to understand the situation on this floor.
With just a glance, Qiu Yun immediately found that this floor was different from the coldness below. Not only were there two tables of people sitting, but one of them was telling his experience loudly as if he was a storyteller. After only a few words, he felt a chill out of thin air. They were all "ghost stories".
It's really weird.
I have to say that the waiter on this floor does have a lot of things to do. When he saw everyone, he did not answer for a moment. Not only did he not feel anxious at all, he still spoke with a smile.
