Chapter 67 Inquiry
What have you been admiring for a long time?
I wasn't famous before!
Zhou Heng couldn't help complaining in his heart.
However, he still maintained a warm smile on the surface and said to Xu Hai: "I have also heard of your name for a long time. 'Picking Clouds' is well-known. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Xu Hai smiled when he heard this, but he almost laughed out loud in his heart, because his name was all made up. What Xu Hai, what Picking Clouds, were all made up to deceive people.
As an old hand who often "fellows" with others and then takes advantage of them, it is impossible to use his real identity. There must be several vests to facilitate the action.
Now the eyes of the people around him are full of envy when looking at Xu Hai. This person looks plain, but he is actually on good terms with this new master on the human list. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Moreover, this "broken bone injury" Zhou Heng is only seventeen years old, and he has entered the human list with the cultivation of the ninth rank. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. It is very likely that he will step into the top ten of the human list, and even break the bridge of heaven and earth and become a big man of the middle third rank!
Awesome!
"But is there a master from the Human List coming to our inn?"
At this moment, a joyful voice came, and then a man who looked to be in his fifties came out jogging, following the instructions of the waiter, and came to Zhou Heng.
"Oh my God! As expected of a master from the Human List, he is really a talented person. I am Gao Shu, the innkeeper of this inn. Don't worry, young man Zhou, the top floor suite has been prepared for you, and I guarantee you will be satisfied.
"And, as long as you are willing to stay, you can stay as long as you want. Our inn doesn't charge a penny. What do you want, young man? Just ask, just treat this place as your home, hahaha! "
The man was slightly fat, with a lot of fat on his face. When he smiled, his whole face was shaking, and the fat on his chin was piled up into several layers.
It can be seen that he was really very happy, and even a little excited.
Zhou Heng understood the shopkeeper's mind.
It was nothing more than wanting to use the name of the master on the Human List to attract customers.
Martial arts are prevalent in this world, and the young masters on the Human List are like stars on the earth for many ordinary people.
It will attract many people's pursuit.
The thirty-three states of Da Qi have a vast territory and a large population of billions!
Although the proportion of young people under the age of thirty is less than 30%, it is also an extremely terrifying number.
And there are only one hundred people on the Human List!
Admittedly, there are many young people who are strong enough, or even stronger, to be famous on the Human List.
But a large part of them are practicing in the sect, not entering the world, not competing with others, so naturally they can't be on the Human List. The ranking of the human list based on the battle record is also unknown.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, those who are on the human list are the top 100 and the most powerful among the hundreds of millions of young people in the whole Daqi.
Such fame is extremely great.
Of course, since people in this world only pursue the masters of the human list, not crazy fans, and there is no twisted fan circle culture like on Earth, so although the fame of the masters of the human list can bring a lot of money and benefits, it is not very much.
Fame often affects the convenience of travel to various places and the degree of care from the bigwigs, which is reflected in all aspects of daily life.
Just like now, the innkeeper Gao Shu obviously saw Zhou Heng's fame, so he arranged the best guest room for him, and he didn't charge a penny.
Therefore, for the innkeeper, such fame means greater benefits, and for Zhou Heng, it is much more convenient than finding a room to stay by himself.
"Thank you very much, innkeeper." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "But I don't think I will stay for long. ”
In fact, he wanted to ask if he could change the Tianzi suite to an ordinary room? The difference in price could be converted into cash to compensate him...but he was too embarrassed to say it.
At this time, the people around him envied Zhou Heng even more. The Tianzi suite cost at least three taels of silver to stay in for a day!
Fame and fortune!
It's so good!
Xu Hai couldn't help but feel a little envious, but he suppressed this emotion and sneered in his heart: "What kind of master is on the human list? Isn't he just a rookie? When you invite me to be your fellow traveler, I will get rid of you completely, hehe!"
Afterwards, Zhou Heng completed the check-in procedures and returned to the table at the beginning. Seeing Xu Hai was still here, he smiled and said, "I remember that Brother Xu had something to tell me just now, saying that he wanted to conspire for something big?"
"That's right!" Xu Hai nodded quickly, thinking that you have taken the bait, and smiled: "However, this matter involves many powerful people, and I can't disclose it easily.
"How about this, if you are really interested, wait for me at the breakfast stand on the east side tomorrow morning. I will treat you to breakfast and tell you about the matter."
Cultivating feelings often starts with treating people to a meal. Xu Hai is well aware of this, and breakfast is the cheapest and has low cost.
"I can go with you." Zhou Heng smiled and then said, "But I have a condition. In fact, I came to Yuyang County to investigate the details of the Wang family.
"You may know that the Wang family committed a crime in the prefectural city, and now they have all been arrested, but there are still some unknown clues involved, so I came to investigate."
"Are you a constable!?" Xu Hai was a little panicked subconsciously.
"No, I just help to inquire about the news." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Brother Xu, do you know anything about the Wang family, or have any strange things happened in Yuyang County recently?"
"Huh..." Xu Hai felt relieved when he heard that Zhou Heng was not a constable. He then smiled and said, "In fact, I have not been in Yuyang County for long, so I don't know much.
"As for strange things, there are indeed some. Recently, many girls have become more beautiful. Hehe, I don't know what's going on."
"Become more beautiful?" Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask, "How do they become more beautiful?"
"People who originally looked very ordinary suddenly become outstanding in appearance." Xu Hai seemed to be quite interested in this and should have paid special attention to it. He said:
"Moreover, although these people have become much more beautiful, it is only a slight adjustment in their facial features. Anyone can recognize them and will not be unrecognizable just because they have become beautiful."
"A lot? When did it start? "Zhou Heng asked. After hearing this description, he subconsciously thought of Chen Hanyu's perfect face that seemed to have been carefully retouched.
Could it be that Yu Shang was not completely dead?
The ghost that possessed Wang Tong now was Yu Shang?
Didn't Cheng Jiangjian's Taoism kill it?
"It's not many, but it's not few either. There should be more than a dozen girls. This matter is quite a big deal, but none of those girls said the specific situation. As for the time, it should have started three or four days ago. "
Xu Hai pondered for a while and said: "But I guess it should be a kind of disguise with serious sequelae. It may need regular inspection and repair, otherwise so many people would not keep their mouths shut. "
"Well, I know. See you at the breakfast shop tomorrow. "Zhou Heng nodded and accepted Xu Hai's previous invitation.
In addition, he planned to investigate the girls who became beautiful tomorrow.
To see if there was any ghost spirit left.
Xu Hai left the inn happily. He felt that he had successfully taken the first step in his wool-pulling journey and initially gained Zhou Heng's trust.
Next, he would slowly cultivate his relationship with Zhou Heng and wait for him to regard him as a fellow martial artist. That would be the time for him to reap the rewards!
It was already dark, and dark clouds covered the moon.
"Why is it so dark, God? "
Xu Hai was walking carelessly on the road. He was a wanderer who made a living by fleecing people. He had no fixed residence, but rented a small house in the suburbs.
The distance from the county town to the house was not very far, but there was a section of the road that was relatively dark. It was okay under the moonlight, but if the moon was covered by dark clouds, you really couldn't see anything.
And just as he was walking on this night road.
A ball of something as sticky as wax came out from the corner of the wall, squirming and twisting as it moved.
It slowly approached Xu Hai!
