evening.
Entering the market, there are many pedestrians.
Zhong Yan's tense nerves finally relaxed. The incident of his friends fighting side by side rebelling against each other because of profit was still vivid in his mind, and he could not tolerate his carelessness.
Originally, this trip to Fangshi was just a formality, and they were just waiting to purchase supplies when they returned to the city, so the three of them did not wander around and went straight to the 'Feixian Pavilion'.
"Hey, the young master is finally here, but I'm so worried about him!"
A woman in a green dress quickly stepped forward and hugged Zhong Yan's arm, knocking him unconscious.
Yang and Bai looked at each other with meaningful smiles on their faces.
Zhong Yan took a look at the woman's heavily made-up face, then remembered it and explained to the two of them seriously: "I passed by last time, and I was short of money. I stood in front of the door and didn't dare to go in."
Then he turned to the woman in green skirt and smiled: "Young girl has a really good memory."
The woman in the green skirt smiled and said: "The young master is rich and handsome, and he shines brighter than the sun and the moon. He has entered people's hearts at a glance, so he will be remembered deeply."
Yang Yanqing looked at the woman's expression and laughed in his heart. It was such an embarrassment to see her from a distance. She even came closer and was caught but couldn't get in. He was determined to get red in the face and have to find a brothel in the future.
Bai Siyuan said with a smile: "Young lady, that's right. If Zhong Daoyou had such an appearance, if he were a few years younger, he could only be described by the words 'The stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world'."
"Yes, yes!" The woman in the green dress pulled Zhong Yan inside, "You three, please come in!"
Upon entering, the front hall is a hollow three-story attic with stairs winding upward.
The large crystal chandelier on the top is dazzling, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
Upstairs and downstairs, fat, thin, charming girls walked back and forth, wearing open and bold clothes.
It is ridiculous to say that it is shocking to the nerves of Zhong Yan, who has just entered a brothel. He has traveled through more than thirty years and devoted himself to cultivation, and has never even been to a brothel in a mortal city.
He glanced around and found that the female cultivators here were all at a very low level, with their spiritual consciousness reaching the first or second level of the early stage of Qi refining. There were also mortal women serving tea and wine, sitting and eating with them.
Directly in front, on a suspended platform with the same height as the second floor, people were playing, playing and singing, with long and graceful vocals and graceful dancing.
The first feeling is that it is a bit noisy, messy and uncomfortable.
But when I really calm down, I find that the surroundings seem to be woven together from small worlds.
Listen to music, talk and laugh, eat and drink.
Don't interfere with each other, feel content.
From the moment he walked in until he stood there, apart from the women, Zhong Yan didn't notice any male customers releasing their spiritual consciousness.
"Girls!" The green group of women waved in the distance.
Yang Yanqing looked around and then said: "Take us to the box in the first courtyard."
"Okay!"
The woman in the green dress waved her handkerchief and led her inside. She smiled and said, "What kind of girl do you three young masters want? Do you have a crush?"
"There's no rush, let's serve us eight tastings of wine and food first."
Eight tastings of wine and food... Zhong Yan repeated in his mind, knowing nothing, secretly thinking that he had not done enough.
When the female peak master of the Fire Cloud Sect took him into the sect, the first lesson she taught him was: if a monk wants to live a long life, his character, courage, and experience are particularly important.
He has always been so consistent and has saved the day from danger many times.
With enough knowledge and experience, you can often find many ways out by adapting to circumstances.
Not long after.
The three were taken to a stone room.
There are three long low-legged pear wood tables placed indoors, so that nine people can sit there without feeling crowded.
Vases, ornaments, hanging paintings... although closed, the style is quite elegant.
"Young masters, please wait a moment. The food and drinks will be here shortly."
The green group of women retreated with smiles, and even gave Zhong Yan a wink before closing the door.
Zhong Yan glanced at the incense burner next to the table. Green smoke rose and a faint fragrance came out.
Yang Yanqing sat down cross-legged, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's just an ordinary Ningshen incense."
Bai Siyuan: "Fellow Daoist Yang, how do you feel?"
"It's eye-opening. I feel like a bumpkin from the countryside!"
Zhong Yan smiled and asked after sitting down: "How many courtyards are here?"
He had the experience in the lobby. When he arrived at this important courtyard, he did not dare to release his consciousness casually. He could not see the end inside with his naked eyes.
"The Jiuzhongyuan, the further you go, the more expensive it gets."
Yang Yanqing took the initiative to introduce: "For example, in this large courtyard, there is a minimum consumption of fifty yuan for low-grade spiritual stones, not including girls. There are also large boxes inside, and there are people who set up a stage for singing and dancing. Compared with the outside, the boxes are more Secret, there is a formation to isolate the sound..."
After the two people popularized it, Zhong Yan had a preliminary understanding of the brothel in the spiritual world.
For example, the 'eight wines and dishes' mentioned earlier are dishes, spiritual wine, and spiritual fruits priced at fifty yuan of spiritual stones.
The portion is for so-called 'six people', but if you really want to eat freely, you will definitely not be full.
If you have special requirements, please mention them separately.
At this time.
Two crisp bells rang in succession.
Three breaths passed.
The stone door opened, and the woman in green skirt walked in, followed by two girls carrying exquisite food boxes.
In the dining room, a woman in a green skirt twisted her waist, bent down and handed three brochures to each of the three people.
"You three gentlemen, please enjoy it slowly. Just ring the bell if you need it."
After the others left, Yang Yanqing patted the book on the table and said proudly: "I'm happy today. I can choose any girl in the book."
Bai Siyuan said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist said that, how can I and Zhong Daoyou have the nerve to pick the last one?"
Yang Yanqing said sternly: "The choice is yours. The sky is worth only a thousand spiritual stones. You got such a fortune yesterday, why don't you want to enjoy it?"
After a pause, his eyes flickered and he said: "Qin Ben's news is wrong this time. He will have to make up for some losses for me and others when he returns to the city."
Bai Siyuan asked: "How many do you think there are, Brother Tao?"
Zhong Yan also looked over.
Yang Yanqing smacked his lips, stroking his beard and murmuring: "One is at the eighth level of Qi Refining and the other is at the seventh level. If Zhong Daoyou hadn't been so amazing this time, the task would have been impossible to complete. Even if they couldn't defeat them, they wouldn't have been able to escape. Difficult, at least the mage attendants can escape... Based on my understanding of Qin Ben, each person should have no less than 200 coins."
Bai Siyuan nodded, "That's good, it will take away the unhappiness in my heart."
After hearing this result, Zhong Yan, who had already dissipated a lot of his anger towards Qin Ben after thinking about it all the way, felt even less angry at this moment.
Yang Yanqing glanced at the two of them in turn and continued: "The situation will be more serious when the time comes. How powerful the other party is. Fellow Daoist Bai was injured by an arrow, and Fellow Daoist Zhong spent a lot of formation materials..."
As he said that, he noticed Zhong Yan's eyes flickering, looked over and asked, "What does Zhong Daoyou think is wrong?"
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and said: "I have not been in Qingyang City for a long time. I have not had much contact with Qin Ben, but I know a little about him. This person should be a thoughtful and far-sighted person. In addition, I heard that Li Henian Say, he is the second son of Prince Ning of the capital city?"
Yang Yanqing thought for a moment, "Are you trying to say that in addition to us, he may have arranged other back-up parties who were present at the time?"
After asking, he replied: "The possibility is very high. To ensure nothing happens, if it were me, I would make more preparations!"
After the words fell, the three of them looked at each other, thinking in their hearts, if there is a back-up, who could it be?
Among the casual cultivators in Qingyang City, Yang Yanqing had the highest cultivation level. Apart from Bai Siyuan in front of him, there were only two late-stage cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Li Henian, who had worked closely with him before, was not here.
It is not easy to gather a team that can deal with the 80% peak level of Qi refining plus accidents, and it is also impractical to have too many people.
After a while, Bai Siyuan spoke up: "As for the leakage of information, no matter how strong his backstage connections are, he can't cover the sky with one hand, and there is no reason to test us. There should be something wrong in some link."
"..."
The three of them analyzed it.
Yang Yanqing finally said: "No matter what, Fellow Daoist Bai was injured, Fellow Daoist Zhong lost materials, and I consumed a lot of money by activating the third-level magic weapon, but these are all facts!"
"That's right!"
"Come and drink to our happy cooperation!"
