Chapter 133: Chapter 132: Crisis-laden_1

The two woke up, the sky was already dawning, and it was still some time before 9 a.m.

“I was terrified yesterday!” Remembering the experience from the night before, Meng Jingzhou’s heart was still racing.

Lu Yang seemed more calm: “First understand the rules, and you won’t be afraid once you understand them.”

Meng Jingzhou nodded.

The two of them compared the twenty-one rules to ensure there were no memory deviations, only then did they feel relieved.

“What time is it now?”

At this moment, the sound of a gong echoed from the outside, the watchman was beating the gong while loudly shouting: “9 a.m.”

The two of them hurriedly went downstairs.

On the first floor, two merchants were fuming at the boss holding a horse saddle: “Yesterday we left our horse in the backyard stable, how come today there is only a saddle left!”

Lu Yang recalled the huge beast he encountered last night, maybe it was the one that had eaten the horse.

No whinny of horses was heard last night, it means the horse didn’t even have a chance to resist, it was such a terrifying beast.

Disregarding the merchants, the two ran out of the inn.

Fairy Eternity reminded them, “These two merchants have a very heavy aura of death, they are complex, they are not simple merchants.”

Lu Yang nodded, showing that he remembered.

There was a wave of fragrant smell coming from the street. The restaurant was open, steam was wafting from hot dishes, causing the mouth to salivate. But strangely, the restaurant was empty. One of the steamed basket was labeled, it said “Meat Bun.”

The people of Buyi Town, dressed in brown coarse linen clothes, have already gotten used to it. They came to grab breakfast, sat down, and started eating, keeping their distance from the meat buns.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou also followed suit, grabbed three sesame seed cakes and a bowl of soy milk, eating deliciously.

Lu Yang noticed that people were eating very quickly. Some were eating while walking, looking very hurried.

There was a commotion on the side of the street, a group of people hurriedly fleeing. The people who were dining also didn’t care about their meal, they directly fled.

“We should run too!” Lu Yang said, picking up his sesame seed cake and started running.

They ran to the end of the other side of the street and turned to see what had

just happened.

A group of people dressed in black were approaching, there were about a few dozen of them, each with a knife around their waist.

“Hey you, stop!” A man in black clothes shouted at a fleeing person, who subconsciously turned his head, his neck twisted a full 360 degrees, slumping.

The men in black laughed upon seeing this. They sat by the entrance of the restaurant, opened the steamed basket, picked up the meat bun and started eating, their mouths greasy.

The person who had died, lifted his head, twisted it back, back to normal, as if he had forgotten what had just happened, and slowly left the scene.

“They’re the government office yamen, it is said in the rules that we cannot eat meat buns, but the yamen can, which means that the rules they need to follow are not the same as us,” Lu Yang analyzed in a low voice.

“Among the many types of breakfast, all the yamen chose to eat meat buns, which implies they can only eat meat buns.”

“Also, the rule says we must not turn our heads, it seems that turning our heads will snap our neck!”

The two looked at each other, decided to leave, to get as far away from the yamen as possible.

“At the beginning of man, the nature is good. The nature is similar, the habit becomes remote…” As they passed the private school, the loud sound of reading came. The voice was mature, as if a group of adults were reciting the Three- Character Sutras.”

However, Lu Yang remembered that the rules mentioned, [The private school has been deserted for many years, there is no private school teacher in the town, only the barking of dogs can be heard in the private school, not the sound of reading.]

This was absolutely irrational.

The two quickly left, but were stopped by a man in a grey gown: “The two of

you look unfamiliar, could it be that you came from elsewhere?”

[Rule No. 9: The person in a grey gown is the private school teacher. If you encounter the private school teacher, no matter what he says, you must pretend you didn’t hear it. ]

[Rule No. 10: You can’t make eye contact with the private school teacher. If you make eye contact with the private school teacher, you will turn into a black dog.]

Both quickly responded by lowering their heads and walking forward, not looking into the eyes of the private school teacher, nor listening to what the private school teacher said.

The private school teacher being persistent, said next to them: “You both are dressed rather well, you must have a decent Cultivation Level. Could it be that you also believe in the rules written on the white paper?”

“Not all the rules on the white paper are true, some of them are deceptive.

“In fact, the person who set the rules here had no malicious intention, only wanted to protect themselves, which led to this desperate move. The person was informed that you both arrived, and specifically asked me to help you.”

“I have a way to leave the town, but the price is that you will lose your memory in this town.”

“As long as the two of you recite the ‘Three-Character Sutras’ in the private school for three days, you can leave the town! I am not deceiving you, you can hear the voices in the private school, just yesterday someone left the town with my assistance.”

The private school teacher suddenly ran in front of them, bent down and looked directly at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang closed his eyes and walked forward. Before he closed his eyes, he saw the lower half of the man’s face didn’t have any skin, revealing red muscles, very eerie.

Seeing that the two were ignoring him and kept their heads down, the teacher from the private school had no choice but to give up; he shouted behind them: “This is your only chance to leave the town; you’re going to regret it if you don’t accept my help.”

Fairy Eternity said in the Spiritual Space: “Lu Yang, don’t believe him, only a part of what he said is true.”

“A part?” Lu Yang was somewhat surprised; he thought everything the man said was a lie.

“He does indeed have a method to leave the town, but it’s not as a human being, but in the form of a ‘black dog’. I saw him release a few black dogs yesterday.”

“Before meeting you two, someone made eye contact with him. After making eye contact, that person developed a splitting headache, eyes filled with bloodshot streaks, arms gradually growing black fur before going into the private school.”

Lu Yang felt a chill up his spine, the abilities of the private school teacher were very tricky and not easy to deal with.

“Go to the tailor shop.” Lu Yang had some thoughts and needed to verify them.

The two had been around Buyi Town’s tailor shops, none of them sold black, white, or gray clothes, and there was no corresponding fabric available.

While strolling around the town, the two came across a question: “Where is the Ancestral Hall?”

It was said in the rules that the Ancestral Hall is safe, but there are also monsters in the Ancestral Hall. Such a contradictory statement, this place must not be simple.

But the two went around and did not find the location of the Ancestral Hall.

By this time, it was getting late, approaching from 9 p m. to 11 p.m., and the two had to return to the inn.

“Welcome back, distinguished guests. Please, our inn is very safe, you don t need to be so nervous. I will protect your safety.” At the inn’s entrance, the cheerful little errand boy welcomed the two. The errand boy didn’t have any whites in his eyes, his irises were pure black, like he could see what ordinary people couldn’t.

The two broke out in goosebumps. This voice was exactly the same as the one that knocked on the door in the corridor last night!

It was him last night!

“Little errand boy, it’s not time yet, go back to your room!” The innkeeper drove the errand boy away.

The errand boy stared at the innkeeper. The two were locked in a stare for a while before he reluctantly left.

Lu Yang noticed that the errand boy went up to the third floor, which was the Grade-A rooms.
