Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 124 Black Shop

Although the dinner was served free of charge, it was still quite sumptuous.

However, Ningji's medicine is not cheap either. Just that small bottle can be sold for a lot of silver, which is much more expensive than the room rent here.

But staying here is different from those inns outside. Some things are not charged according to the stated prices.

Despite this, after the waiter left and closed the door, Ning Ji still carefully checked the food and made sure that there was no problem before eating with Si He.

When you go out, you should be careful everywhere, especially in such black shops, even if you know their details.

While we were eating, it was already dark outside. The soundproofing here was not very good, and we could hear loud conversations downstairs even from upstairs.

This is where people from all walks of life like to gather. They can exchange and inquire about the information they need, or do some secret transactions, etc. There are all kinds of people here, and all kinds of business can be done.

But where there are people, disputes are likely to occur.

When Si He was halfway through her meal, she heard the sound of fighting coming from downstairs. From the noise, it seemed that the fight was quite intense, with the constant sound of swords and knives.

She subconsciously tensed her nerves and listened attentively.

Ning Ji was used to it. He calmly put a piece of chicken into her bowl and said, "Eat it. It's okay."

Ok.

She lowered her head and ate silently. After a long time, the downstairs gradually became quiet, with only some shouting and wailing sounds left.

Fighting is very common in the underworld. Even if someone dies, no one will report it to the police. They all settle private matters privately, and the dead are just dragged away and thrown away.

Before long, everything downstairs returned to normal. The diners in the lobby ate and drank as usual, and those who broke things paid compensation. Everyone was used to this kind of thing.

After dinner, Ning Ji took the medicine bag and went to the kitchen of the inn to boil medicine for her. She had not taken the medicine today.

Si He stayed in the room obediently. She walked to the window and looked at the night outside the inn.

Two large lanterns hung on the railing outside the inn, providing some light.

The night wind was howling, and the cold was biting. The two lanterns were shaking constantly, and the lights inside seemed to be about to be blown out.

The night was pitch black, but there were still guests in the inn going out and hurrying on their way.

Si He looked at the people who were leaving. They were all injured, with varying degrees of severity. It was obvious that they were the ones who had fought before. Now they left at night, and they were probably not living safely here anymore.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and someone else came here to stay overnight.

Si He narrowed her eyes slightly, and through the pitch-black night, she could clearly see who was coming.

It’s the group of people from the Baishi Sect!

This is really a haunting thing, you can encounter it everywhere!

However, this is the closest direction to Beisha Country, and the road here is relatively remote and desolate. It would not be surprising if they also wanted to escape to Beisha Country.

Si He turned sideways, closed the window a little, and watched through the gap as a group of people rode their horses towards him.

After a careful look, she found that half of their people were missing, and they had many new wounds on their bodies, looking quite miserable. However, the people from Taiyi Sect were all there, and except for some injuries, there were no fewer people.

In addition, the two bandits and Si Rong were not in this team. It was not known whether they got separated or were captured.

The group stopped outside the inn, hesitated for a while, and then came in.

Si He closed the window and went back into the room to sit down.

After a while, the sound of a group of people coming up the stairs was heard.

These people are not short of money, so it is normal for them to have houses.

It seems that they knew something about this inn and its situation, so they dared to stay here and were not afraid of being reported to the authorities by the innkeeper.

Those who could sit in the lobby of the inn at this time were not ordinary people. The bounty for these escaped disciples of the sect was not worth those people's attention.

Not everyone who roams the world is upright and honest. They are more or less wary of the government. If they report someone to the government and have him arrested for a small reward, it will only make things more inconvenient for them in the future and they will be avoided by others.

The underworld has its own rules, and that is why there are so many fugitives outside who have not been caught by the government.

Si He listened quietly to the noise outside. Fortunately, the inn was big enough and their guest room was not in the same direction as hers and was quite far away.

However, since there were so many of them, after going upstairs, they ordered the waiters to bring hot water and deliver meals, which made the waiters very busy. They were running up and down in a hurry, making quite a lot of noise.

After a while, Ning Ji came back with a pot of medicine and asked the waiter to bring in the bath water.

After the waiter left, Si He drank the medicine while saying to Ning Ji, "Cousin, those people from Baishi Sect and Taiyi Sect are here too."

Ning Ji said, "Yes, I know."

Si He looked up at him and found that he had seen it too.

He reached out and gently stroked her head with a gentle expression, but after she lowered her eyes and drank the medicine, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

After drinking the medicine, Si He went to the side room to rinse her mouth and take a bath.

Ning Ji sat in the house and checked the things confiscated from Jiang Yuan.

The two tokens are helpful in passing the level, but the most valuable things are the contents of the jade bottles.

One of the jade bottles contained a gray-black pill. Ning Ji looked at its color and smelled its odor, and he roughly knew that it should be a medicine mixed with corpse poison. This should be the same medicine that Hu Qing took, which can turn people into monsters.

The other two jade bottles contained spiritual essences, the small black-skinned beads that Si He was forced to take before. Judging from the appearance of these spiritual essences, they were probably dug out not long ago.

Ning Ji put on silver gloves, took out a spiritual bead and looked at it carefully.

The outer skin of the beads is black. The smallest ones are only as big as lotus seeds, and the largest ones are as round as longans. There are fine veins on the surface, like tendons. The smell is not very pleasant, with a bit of rotten smell.

Ning Ji looked at it carefully for a long time before putting the essence back into the bottle.

He held the bottle, thinking back to the contents of the parchment scroll. Perhaps this thing really had the effect of immortality, but...

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, the sound was very light, almost inaudible.

Ning Ji's eyes turned cold.

In the side room, Si He was taking a shower. She didn't hear the footsteps outside, but she heard the sound of Ning Ji going out. Then, there was a sound like a broken bone!

Her heart sank and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. Through the doors and windows, she could only vaguely see Ning Ji's leaving figure.

Something happened?

She quickly got out of the bathtub, wiped the water stains hastily, and put on her clothes, but just as she walked out of the side room, she saw Ning Ji coming back.

"What happened?" Water was still dripping from her hair, her clothes were a little messy, and she looked anxious.

Ning Ji walked towards her, straightened her clothes, and said, "A thief, solved."

His voice was gentle and he spoke calmly.
