Weird Taoism: I became a god in a strange world

Chapter 164

Lin Hun came here to eat, but more importantly, to gather intelligence.

What better place to gather intelligence than the inn canteen and the brothel?

Lin Hun slowly ate the special dishes here, sifting out the valuable parts of their conversations.

Eating is secondary.

Gather intelligence to see if anyone has any valuable information about the disappearance of the Tang family caravan and the disappearance of the old thief Jin Xin.

"Hey, have you heard that the new queen and the old queen in the palace are getting more and more quarrelsome, and even the youngest son of the Zhenbei prince has publicly taken sides!"

"Hey, the Zhenbei prince is the real power. Doesn't his youngest son represent him? Come on, which side does the Zhenbei prince's youngest son stand on?"

"What do you guess?"

"I guess, he should stand on the side of the old queen. After all, the Zhenbei prince is a very orthodox person on weekdays!"

"Hey, you really guessed wrong. The Zhenbei prince's youngest son publicly stands on the side of the new queen. On the other side, the day before yesterday morning, he submitted a memorial to the emperor:

The harem cannot be without a master for a day, and the world must be informed as soon as possible! "

"Hey, gosh, that's so serious. Why didn't Prince Zhenbei go to the court to submit a memorial in person?"

"Prince Zhenbei said that he missed his concubine who passed away and couldn't go to the court. There are two meanings in this. One is that he really had a concubine harmed by the evil cultivator a few years ago."

"What about the second?"

"Don't you understand? The second is that as long as he doesn't show up, if he stands on the wrong side in the future, he can push it to his youngest son, Zhenbei. The Northern Prince's Mansion still has room for retreat."

"If you stand on the wrong side, wouldn't that be a trap for your youngest son? !"

"Hey, in the palace, the youngest son is also a pawn to be sacrificed. For the sake of the prosperity of the Northern Prince's Mansion for generations, this is normal."

"It is said that there was a quarrel in the court at that time, and the Grand Master turned his face directly, pointing at the youngest son of the Zhenbei Prince and shouting:

The foundation of the country lies in rituals and sacrifices. The old queen is not wrong, and she cannot be deposed. Otherwise, it will cause the collapse of rituals and music, and shake the foundation of the country!"

"Hey, look The Grand Master and the Prince of Zhenbei broke up. "

"That's natural! Don't forget, the old queen was the disciple of the Grand Master! He naturally fully supported his disciple to be the queen. Although the new queen has entered the palace, she has not yet been offered sacrifices to the heavens to announce the world, so there is naturally room for fighting!"

"Come on, let's just listen to these big things, how can they compare to this table of delicacies and half a jar of fine wine?"

"Yes, yes. Come on, drink, drink."

This chat record has a certain reference value for Lin Hun.

Why?

Because the Prince of Zhenbei is Wei Faqin's backer.

And after Lin Hun went back this time, Wei Faqin promised to let him get rid of the white soldier and enter the black prison as a black soldier.

Lin Hun still has to pay attention to Wei Faqin's future and fate.

Continue to filter out useful information from the noisy and drunken conversations of the people eating.

The later it gets, the more lively it becomes after three rounds of dishes and five flavors of wine.

Everyone drank to their heart's content, and now they dared to say things they hadn't dared to say before.

"I heard that Lao Tang's caravan disappeared outside the city!"

"Ah?! I was wondering why I didn't see Lao Tang's caravan today. It turns out that something happened."

"Well, it's not uncommon for a caravan to be robbed and killed by weirdos or evil cultivators, but it's really rare for a caravan to disappear as a whole."

"Any inside information?"

"Hehe, of course, or I wouldn't dare to say it. This involves weirdos..."

"Hiss... involves weirdos..."

Everyone shrank their necks in fear.

At this point, the buddy deliberately paused to let everyone praise him.

Sure enough, the rest of the people who were eating together started to speak, and the man began to speak in a rhythmic manner.

Naturally, Lin Hun also pricked up his ears to listen.

"According to reliable information, in recent years, there has been a monster around Yudu and Wuyangwei that does not eat people, but sucks human life and essence."

"There is actually a monster that does not eat people?!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Everyone knows that the monster eats people.

Encountering a monster that does not eat people is also considered an outlier among the monsters.

The man saw that he had successfully aroused everyone's curiosity, and immediately became interested in talking and continued.

"Yes, it is a monster that does not eat people. The essence of the people who were killed by it was sucked out of their bodies. It is said that the most terrifying thing is that their lifespans will be sucked away!"

"Sucked away lifespan! Hiss..."

Everyone took a cold breath.

"Such a monster commits crimes every day in Wuyangwei around Yudu. Doesn't the Suppression of Ghosts Department care?"

"Hehe, you asked the point. The Guard Hall in the Suppression of Ghosts Department is responsible for hunting ghosts, but it is strange. Facing this monster, the Guard Hall always returns empty-handed!"

Hehe.

Lin Hun sneered after hearing this.

The Guard Hall would naturally be helpless.Return with success, don't forget that the cheap father of the old thief Jin Xin is the abbot of the Buddhist temple of the three great halls!

With such high-level people tipping off and secretly protecting him, how could the guard hall catch him!

When thinking of this old thief Jin Xin, Lin Hun couldn't help but think of some stories before he crossed over.

With the protection of the high-level law enforcement department, how could the people working below catch him!

Eat your shit.

Lin Hun continued to listen.

"Why do you say that the disappearance of the Tang family caravan this time is related to the strange man who absorbs lifespan? Obviously, the modus operandi is different."

"Hehe, the modus operandi is different, but the courage is the same. There is only one strange man who dares to kill people outside Wuyangwei City in recent years."

"Tsk tsk... What you said seems to make some sense."

"Stop talking, a group of strange masters are coming in to eat. Shh sh sh sh..."

"Come on, old Zhang, let's go!"

"..."

Six or seven strange cultivators came in from the door, and the leader was a dwarf who glanced coldly at the dining hall.

The dining hall was swept by this dwarf strange cultivator, and it was silent as a cicada. No one came out again.

It can be seen that the status of strange cultivators in Dayu is high.

"Several strange masters, please go to the private room on the second floor!"

The waiter came over carefully.

"Hmph!"

The dwarf strange cultivator snorted coldly and walked into the second floor.

With the arrival of these weird masters, no one on the first floor dared to discuss the dispute between the old and new queens, or any weird things.

Seeing that there was no information to listen to, Lin Hun got up and left after dinner.

After going downstairs, the waiter came up to greet him swiftly.

"Master Weird Master, have you finished your meal?"

"Well, the food is good. This is a reward for you."

"Hey, hey, thank you for the reward, Master Weird Master! Do you want to go back to your room?"

"Take me to the bathhouse, I want to wash off the dust."

"Come on, Master Weird Master, please follow me!"

The waiter put Lin Hun's reward money into his arms and happily took Lin Hun to the bathhouse.

Several eyes hit Lin Hun's back.

Hmm?

Who is Lin Hun?

Possessing super perception ability, his "Night Owl" ability under the "Eye of Extreme Power" takes into account 360 degrees.

Immediately locked the source of the gaze.

The centipede quietly slipped out of his shoe.

With the help of the centipede's shared vision, Lin Hun took in all those strange cultivators who coveted him.
