Chapter 1076 The Innkeeper
When I woke up, the car had already entered Tacheng.
Our first target, the twin iron towers, stood in an open space. The tower body and the base below were about two meters high, and the diameter of the tower body was also about half a meter.
Simply looking at the weight, it is indeed difficult for ordinary warriors to move the twin towers, and truly famous masters will not risk their fame for gold.
The pagoda conference organized by Tang Hong had this in mind.
I walked to the tower and squatted down: "Can this base move?"
Ye Yang also touched the trigram-shaped base made of pig iron under the tower: "These are two town towers, and the base below is equivalent to a manhole cover."
Lin Zhao, who was checking another iron tower, suddenly said: "Li Po, look over here."
Engraved on Lin Zhao's finger were three small characters: "Huo Tangxiu"
"Has Huo Tang built this tower?" I looked carefully at the tower several times, but I couldn't find any trace of it being rebuilt: "Did Huo Tang build not a tower but a tower base?"
Ye Yang said: "The reason Huotang is famous for the half-cut pagoda is because the pagoda he built has no trace of repair. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a new pagoda."
"From the information we can find, the twin towers have only been moved twice. When did Huo Tang build the towers?" I was wondering when I spotted a house in the distance out of the corner of my eye.
"Lin Zhao, go see if there is anyone in that house and see if you can rent the house."
Ye Yang also noticed the building with a window facing the iron tower. According to Feng Shui, windows or doors cannot directly face buildings such as towers and temples.
If you really can't avoid it, you have to put something in the middle to block it.
That three-story building had a vertical row of windows facing the Iron Tower.
Lin Zhao quickly called over: "There's a small hotel here. I'm checking in. You guys come here first."
When I walked around to the main entrance of the hotel, I happened to hear Lin Zhao talking to the boss. The hotel boss said impatiently: "Why are you so stubborn, girl? I told you, those three rooms are not for rent."
"If you want to live there, live there. If you don't want to live there, forget it."
Lin Zhaodao: "Boss, what you said is wrong. My friend stayed at your place two days ago, in the house on the first floor, and she even posted it on WeChat Moments."
"Nonsense!" the boss said: "My three houses have never been rented out. Are you looking at the wrong place?"
"Why am I talking nonsense?" Lin Zhao said: "My friends are two girls. One is wearing white clothes and the other is wearing red clothes. They are both very beautiful. Do you dare to say that they have never stayed in your hotel?
"
The boss finally got impatient: "What white clothes, red clothes, I don't know, get out!"
I stepped out of the door and walked in: "Lin Zhao, check his hotel registration."
"Why do you..." Before the boss could finish his words, a flash of blood flashed in my eyes, and the hotel owner was stunned by the ghost eyes on the spot.
Lin Zhao quickly flipped through the registration book a few times: "Sister Feng and the others lived here before. They lived on the first floor."
"Lin Zhao, close the hotel. Let's go check out the three houses."
I searched around the first floor based on the approximate location, and sure enough I saw a room with a large cast iron lock.
Today's hotels, no matter how small they are, no longer use this kind of external iron lock, but warlocks still use this kind of iron lock as a magic weapon to seal away ghosts.
Especially in places where it is inconvenient to stick charms, locks are more often used.
I waved to Chen Shuyu. After he left, he quickly turned back: "The rooms on the third floor are all hung with iron locks, and no one has touched them for a long time."
I hesitated and said: "Lin Zhao, you take Xiao Qi to the second floor. Ye Yang and Chen Shuyu will guard the third floor. Jiang Jiuyuan, follow me to the first floor."
I stretched out two fingers and pinched off the lock nose, dragged the hotel owner into the room on the first floor, tied him to a chair, and then untied the ghost eyes: "Look where this place is?"
"Help..." The boss was about to shout for help when I grabbed his chin. I raised the iron lock with my other hand, pulled my fingers inward, and squeezed the iron lock into shape.
The hotel owner's eyes stared out in fear, but I said calmly: "Is your chin harder, or is this lock harder?"
As I spoke, I slowly let go of my palm. The boss stammered and asked, "You... who are you?"
I pressed the boss's head with my hand and turned his face towards the window: "Look where this place is? Your check-in book has not recorded a single name for ten and a half months. You are guarding such a place."
What are you doing in an empty hotel?”
I'm sure there aren't many people staying in the hotel, because in a hotel with good business, all kinds of people stay there, so the popularity is mixed.
The first floor of this hotel is not popular at all, which means that the entire hotel has been unoccupied for a long time.
The boss will not keep an empty house for no reason.
When the boss saw the iron tower outside the window clearly, he was so frightened that he shouted: "How did you get into this room? This room cannot be lived in... This room..."
