Chapter 217 A Hidden Story Over the Years
"Later, the spring dried up, the trees were all cut down, and the village was left in a mess. After they left, we blocked the roads in the village."
"Over the years, only a few people have had the chance to come here, and no one has come here since."
Even now, when Elder Shi talks about the past, he still sighs.
"But the cold spring has been dry for so many years, so where did all of this come from?"
Lu Jianchi asked curiously, "Just now, when Elder Shi said that this was the 'Gentle Jade Wine,' I was about to celebrate for Li Lianhua and the others when someone kicked me under the table, interrupting my speech."
"Young master, you may not know this, but after so many years, no one has been fighting over this cold spring anymore, so the spring water in the mountains has gradually returned."
"The inn in that village was built for those martial arts practitioners back then. After they left, no one lived there, so it has been abandoned ever since."
"Oh, I see. Elder Shi, what exactly happened at this inn?"
The inn still bears so many signs of a fight that just looking at them makes one wonder how intense the battle was. Everyone is curious about what happened in the inn.
"To be honest, more than ten years ago, people in the martial arts world fought each other in the inn over this little bit of cold spring water, and blood flowed like a river."
"It's been so long, and no one has cleaned it up yet?"
Compared to this clean courtyard, that inn probably hasn't been cleaned in many years.
Moreover, the wandering swordsmen who come and go are unlikely to arrive in groups and leave in groups; there must be lone swordsmen among them.
Upon hearing this, Elder Shi seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly became cautious. He whispered instructions to the others.
"The inn was haunted. The villagers initially planned to clean it up, but who knew that the corpses would disappear overnight."
"It must be those people in disguise. They can hurt people, so nobody dares to go in."
"So that's how it is. We have to thank Elder Shi for leading us so quickly."
Oh my, the highly skilled Li Lianhua is making a scared face right now, it's so funny.
"By the way, Elder Shi, do you remember that among the people who came here back then, was there someone who always wore a ghost mask and dressed as the King of Hell, and was known as the Lord of the Yellow Springs?"
Lu Jianchi: Weren't these people here looking for the Tender Jade Wine? Now that the wine has been found, why are they asking about the person? Oh well, this is someone else's private matter.
Li Lianhua rolled her eyes at Fang Duobing. Since the Lord of the Yellow Springs was from Nanyin, his identity would not have been made public otherwise. Of course, one could not inquire about it directly like this.
"The Lord of the Underworld?" Elder Shi thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head.
"There are too many people from the martial arts world who come and go, and so many years have passed that I can't remember them all. Are you looking for someone?"
“That person is an elder whom my younger brother has long admired, but he has never met him.”
Having received Li Lianhua's hint, Fang Duobing quickly continued.
"Yes, I heard that Senior Lianquan also drank the Rouchang Brew here. I want to follow in his footsteps and ask him about it."
"I see. I'm really not much help. It's getting late, so please get some rest. I'll take you out of the village early tomorrow morning."
Elder Shi glanced at the sky outside and took his leave.
"Good work."
Only when Elder Shi walked out of the courtyard and disappeared from sight did the group relax a little.
