"Waiter, serve the wine!"


    As soon as I entered the inn, there was a loud noise. Some Jianghu guests with knives and swords shouted to let the waiter serve wine.


    The waiter was busy walking across the tables like a butterfly, delivering wine, vegetables and meat.


    Finally, when I was free, when I saw Gu Chang''an coming in, I hurried up, wiped my sweat with a sweat towel on my shoulder, and said, "my guest, are you a tip or stay in the hotel?"


    "Eat, get some food, wine and vegetables... Can there be meat?"


    Gu Changan asked.


    "There are both wine, vegetables and meat. Wine is the old yellow rice wine made by ourselves. Although it tastes bitter, it is still mellow. There is not much meat. Only half a chicken, a duck and a few kilograms of beef are left."


    "Warm two liang wine, half a chicken, and cut two kilograms of beef. Look at the other vegetarian dishes."


    Gu Changan threw out a piece of silver, about one or two and a half.


    The waiter saw the broken silver and suddenly saw a bright light in front of him - with this money, he could buy half a chicken and two liang beef. Even if he added a few wine and vegetable dishes, there would be a lot left.


    Giving him so much is obviously a reward.


    Then he put away the silver, led Gu Changan to sit on a table, warmly greeted him and said, "Sir, wait a moment, the wine and dishes will come soon!"


    Gu Changan sat at his desk and watched the others in the hall while waiting.


    In addition to three local villagers sitting in the corner to eat, the rest of the tables are Jianghu guests with knives and swords. At this time, they drink and eat meat in large bowls. They have a loud voice and chat with their companions.


    Talking among Jianghu people is nothing more than bragging and wrangling, or talking about some anecdotes in the Jianghu. After listening to it for a while, Gu Chang''an suddenly felt boring and withdrew his eyes.


    Just then, the wine and vegetables had come up, and Gu Chang''an picked up his chopsticks and ate them.


    I don''t know how long it took. After eating at the middle table, I finally talked about business after picking my teeth.


    "It is said that the camel road is not very stable now. Do you really want to cross it now?"


    A beard, it looks big and thick, but now it looks sad.


    "What can I do?"


    Another tall man at the same table, just with a horse face, took a sip of wine and said, "don''t go now. If we are caught up, we will be finished. Naluo family..."


    "Speak carefully!"


    Before he finished, he was shouted by another man on the table.


    In addition to their beards and horse faces, the last of them was an old man with sharp nosed monkeys.


    At this time, the old man looked gloomy and said, "the camel road is unstable, but it''s not that he can''t walk, let alone... It''s just a rumor!"


    "Even if it''s really unstable, what can''t we do with our Kung Fu?!"


    As soon as they said this, the other two nodded.


    That''s what I said.


    The three of them are not weak in cultivation. Gu Chang''an can feel that their Qi and blood are very strong. After looking at the information, they have two congenital moustaches, one congenital horse face, and the old man with sharp nosed monkey cheeks has four congenital cultivation.


    Such strength, not to mention in the state, but in a county, it can be regarded as an expert.


    "But now the sun is going to set. Really don''t stay here all night?" Ma said with some worry.


    "Luo... The enemy will come at any time. We must go and can''t stay here anymore!" the old man said in a deep voice.


    With that, the three were silent.


    After drinking the wine, eating the meal on the table, settling the account, they took up the army blade and went out.


    When they were talking, Gu Changan always pricked up his ears and listened. After they left, Gu Changan''s eyes also looked out.


    Through the gate of the inn, three figures walked out of the oasis and gradually disappeared into the boundless yellow sand.


    Looking up, I saw the golden Wu hanging in the west, with thousands of red lights scattered, reflecting the red meaning of heaven and earth.


    Gu Changan looked at the scenery and was speechless for a moment.


    "My guest... Your food is ready. Please enjoy yourself."


    Just then, the voice of the waiter sounded in my ear.


    Gu Chang''an returned to his senses, looked at the waiter, and suddenly asked, "waiter, let me ask you something."


    "Sir, please say."


    The waiter wiped his face with a sweat towel. Obviously, there was no accident - as a waiter, he was often inquired by Jianghu guests. They were used to it.


    "I heard that your camel road is not very stable. Do you know what happened to the camel road?"


    "This is..."


    Hearing this, the waiter''s eyes showed a touch of hesitation and a trace of undetectable fear.


    Seeing this, Gu Chang''an immediately took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table. Its meaning was clear without words.


    Seeing this, the waiter immediately said, "Sir, it''s not a matter of money. The silver reward you gave earlier is enough... Well, take the money and I''ll tell you about the camel road."


    As soon as he gritted his teeth, he said what he knew about it.


    However, they said that the Longmen boundary was originally the first oasis outside Yanmen County pass, connecting the business roads leading to the western desert. In the past, the business roads or Jianghu tourists, whether entering Yanmen county or leaving the pass to go beyond the Great Wall, had to stop and repair them to replenish materials and water. Therefore, it was quite prosperous in the past.


    But since last month, something strange happened to Longmen.


    Many caravans and Jianghu people often find bodies in the desert Gobi when they enter the camel Road, and these bodies are basically sitting in a circle, either dried or frozen to death.


    Normally speaking, there is a large temperature difference between the rest of the day in the desert Gobi. It''s not surprising that such things happen occasionally, but this time there have been several cases in succession, and one death is a circle of people.


    There are caravans, Jianghu guests and local villagers, which makes the local panic.


    "Many people said that there were demons outside the dragon''s gate. At the beginning, there were Jianghu people who didn''t believe in evil, but after these people didn''t come back, they basically took the name of the monster."


    The waiter said at the end, and his face unconsciously turned sad.


    Listening to these words, Gu Changan''s face showed a pensive color.


    After a while, he said, "since there are demons making trouble, why didn''t they report it to the government or the hanging mirror division?"


    "It was reported, and the government also sent someone to investigate, but the people of the government didn''t find any news. The hanging mirror Division also came to a main event. It just stayed on the camel road for three days and didn''t find anything."


    "The chief doesn''t believe in evil. He went in again yesterday and hasn''t come out yet..."


    Gu Changan nodded: "I see. Thank you, brother."


    Then he pushed the silver to the waiter.


    The waiter wanted to refuse, but Gu Changan fell into meditation again. After a little hesitation, he accepted it, and then left carefully.


    "The dead were all surrounded in a circle, or dried or frozen to death... It seems that it was really done by demons."


    Gu Changan thought silently.


    As expected, this should be a test.


    At this point, he suddenly stood up, put down a piece of silver, and turned away.


    Step out of the gate of the inn, identify the direction, and then go outside the dragon''s gate.


    The sunset was still struggling in the desert.


    The last afterglow pulled Gu Changan''s shadow out long, from one end of the street to the other.


    Very long, very long


    ……
