Chapter 604 The Happy God Inn, Secret Language and Code Words

That night, the cold moon was high in the sky.

In the dark and silent deep mountain forest, an extremely dilapidated and desolate house suddenly appeared in front of us.

In particular, there was a wooden pole in front of the house, and on the wooden pole, there was a lantern emitting a white and miserable light.

After seeing this house and the white lantern, everyone felt a sense of gloom and weirdness.

Even Mr. Wu turned his head and looked at me, asking, "Do you smell that strange smell?"

I nodded, "Yes."

Not only me, but also Xiao Li and Xiao Fan, obviously smelled it, and now they all wrinkled their noses and looked serious.

Among the cultivators present, only Nangong Xiayu seemed to smell nothing. He was looking around curiously.

As for Lao Kong and others, because they were not cultivators, their five senses were not as strong as ours, so they didn't smell it either.

When I saw the house, the strange smell had already drifted into my nostrils.

I don't know how to describe this smell. It feels a little sour, a little greasy, and a little smelly. In short, it smells very strange.

But I know that this smell is the stench of corpses that are specially treated.

"What on earth is this place?" Old Kong couldn't help asking curiously.

"The God of Joy Inn." I looked at the house and said.

When I said this, everyone except Mr. Wu was stunned. Even Xiao Li and Xiao Fan looked at each other. There was a touch of astonishment in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't expect that in this era, they could still see the legendary God of Joy Inn.

"The Inn of the God of Joy? Isn't that... a place where corpse-carrying people would live in ancient times? Damn, there is such a place in this mountain? Could it be that people still drive corpses now?"

The Inn of the God of Joy is also called the Inn of the God of Joy. The reason why it is called this is because the corpse being driven away is also called the God of Joy.

The corpse-carrying industry was extremely popular during the Qing Dynasty. At that time, there was chaos and war, and people were living in poverty. People often died in foreign lands, but after death, their families did not have enough slings to transport the corpses back. In desperation, they could only ask the corpse-carrying master to drive the corpse back.

The corpse-carving masters rest at sunrise and walk at sunset. When they walk, they wear a copper gong on their waist and hold a bell in their hands. Strangers avoid the places they pass by. In order to prevent the God of Joy from being disturbed by livestock, they will ring the copper gong in advance when passing through the village to warn the villagers to keep an eye on the poultry and not disturb the God of Joy.

In ancient times, there were many such masters, so the villagers also knew what the sound of the copper gong meant. As long as they heard the sound of the copper gong, they would lock up the poultry and close the doors and windows to avoid disturbing the God of Joy and causing bad luck.

Because of the long distance, some retired corpse-carrying craftsmen would open God of Joy Inns in the deep mountains to facilitate those walking masters.

As long as the inn is open or not full, a white lantern would be hung to convey the signal that the inn is open.

However, with the development of the times, transportation is becoming more and more developed, and the craft of corpse-carrying has long been lost. Without the walking masters, the God of Joy Inns derived from the walking masters should naturally be eliminated as well. But there is actually a God of Joy Inn here?

And in front of the inn, there is still a white lantern hanging. What does this mean?

This means that this inn is actually open!

This is a bit unbelievable.

"Could it be that there are still corpse chasers walking in this deep mountain?" Mr. Wu frowned, then looked at everyone and said: "I will go to the door later, you guys be careful and act according to the situation."

"Understood." Lao Kong and others nodded, then opened their backpacks and took out automatic rifles from the backpacks.

I was stunned when I saw this, thinking, gosh, these people are all carrying guns?

Why didn't I see it before?

Seeing my astonishment, Mr. Wu said: "We will solve those problems that ordinary people can't solve, but in this mountain, the people are tough and there are all kinds of people. Once we encounter those bandits, Lao Kong and others will have to come forward to solve them."

"So that's how it is." I nodded.

At this time, Lao Kong and his men were about to disperse and hide in the darkness, but Wu Sheng said, "Don't disperse, stay together."

I knew that Wu Sheng gave this order because he was afraid that Lao Kong and his men would be defeated one by one.

"Understood." Lao Kong responded in a low voice, and then he led the other four men into the darkness.

Wu Sheng took a deep breath, looked at me, and when I nodded, he walked towards the house.

"Let's get closer too." I said to Xiao Li and Xiao Fan, and then glanced at Nangong Xiayu. Just as I was hesitating whether to let him wait there, Nangong Xiayu said, "Captain Zhang, I'm going too. I know the Corpse Inn. I've read related comics and novels. I always thought that these things didn't exist, but I didn't expect that they actually existed. I..."

Once Nangong Xiayu started talking, it seemed that he could never stop. Seeing this, I frowned, and then ignored Nangong Xiayu who was still chattering, and said, "Let's go."

I finished speaking, and then I leaned forward, and Xiao Li and Xiao Fan followed closely.

As for Nangong Xiayu, she was startled, muttered something in Japanese, and then followed.

At this time, Mr. Wu had already walked to the door of the inn. He looked back, took a deep breath, and knocked on the wooden door.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

The dull sound rang out in the silent night. For a moment, everyone became nervous as the muffled sound came out.

But what surprised everyone was that as the knocks fell, there was no response from the house.

Moreover, the house was pitch black, without any light or sound, as if no one lived here at all, just a dilapidated house abandoned in the wilderness.

Mr. Wu frowned and raised his hand again.

But just as Mr. Wu was about to drop his hand, suddenly, I heard an old cough from inside the house.

Then, I heard a deep and hoarse voice: "The Pagoda Town River Monster."

After hearing this, I was immediately startled, but then Mr. Wu's voice came out.

"How can a pheasant with its head down in the water climb the mountain to become the king of the world?"

I understood instantly after hearing this. What Mr. Wu said to the people in the house was actually slang, or in other words, they were just exchanging secret codes.

As Mr. Wu's voice sounded, the people in the house were silent for a few seconds, and then the hoarse voice sounded again.

"The ground is full of rice, so there must be a foundation."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu did not speak, and the hoarse voice continued to sound: "Have you met your mother?"

"There are no tiles on his roof, no no no, no no no."

As Mr. Wu's voice fell, there was a creaking sound, and the dilapidated wooden door of the house was suddenly pushed open.
