"Don't you two look at people like that." He Siniang said from the side: "Which madam was not a girl in the shop back then? It's just that some girls can escape the sea of misery and find a man to marry, and some stay in the store all their lives. After entering the brothel, the feasting and feasting she saw was her whole life, and I'm afraid she won't be able to change her low nature until her death."
"It's not always like this, right?" Meng Qingyao asked curiously: "I heard that there is a kind of poor man who only sells his art but not his life. He is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's a pity that rough people like us will spend their whole lives. I have no chance to see it, but even if I see it, it can scare people to some extent."
"Why do you still want to give it a try?" He Siniang chuckled: "There's no such thing as selling one's body as a performer. It's just to raise one's worth and sell it for a good price, and catch an arty dandy brother by the way. Humph, it's a pity that you can catch There are very few people here, most of them have been innocent for a few years, and in the end they end up selling themselves to survive, and what if they are really caught? You were born in a brothel, and the family background is very different from that of the young master. , even if you enter your house, you may not be able to have a good death. To put it bluntly, this brothel is a bridge of no return. Once you step into this threshold, the ending of this life is basically doomed."
Meng Qingyao didn't expect that a single word could make He Siniang feel so emotional. After thinking about it, he suddenly understood that He Siniang must have thought of Gu Jiuniang's tragic experience, so she felt resentful in her heart, so she hurriedly comforted: "People Walking in this world, everything is fate, not to mention the girl from Shuiyang Clan, so why are we the same?"
The Taoist Priest with a grimace shook his head when he heard this: "What's lifeless? We people from the Mushroom Sect can't believe this. Hey! Don't be inexplicably sad here. Let's take a look at what's going to happen next."
There was already a girl on the flower-viewing stage, her face covered with gauze, and her age could not be seen.
The old bustard said to everyone: "This girl has just arrived at the shop, her name is 'Xiang Ling', she is only 28 years old, but she is a real young lady. With such top quality, it depends on which uncle can win the jackpot~"
This time, heartfelt cheers rang out from the audience. When everyone heard that the first girl was still a baby, their eyes glowed green one after another, and the bidding began to start loudly.
The Taoist priest with a grimace and Meng Qingyao were both fascinated. After a while, the Taoist with a grimace couldn't help but said: "This is like a lamb falling into a pack of wolves. I don't know what the girl on the stage is feeling."
"My whole body is shaking, I must be feeling uncomfortable." Meng Qingyao replied.
"Yes, that girl is still a young girl, and it is not easy to take the first step into Shuiyang Gate... But the girl has not even taken off her veil, so the people underneath dare to increase the price desperately? Aren't you afraid of meeting someone with a crooked mouth and buck teeth? "
"Impossible." He Siniang shook her head and said, "The flower house also pays attention to its reputation, okay? How can the first prize of the flower viewing platform be fooled by ordinary beauty, and will it still be able to do business in the future?"
"That's right. It's strange that I have been upright for a long time. I don't know much about the fireworks and Liuyue. What I said is really short."
"Hey! Do you still want me to eat?"
"Eat, eat, Pindao is just kidding."
He Siniang sighed, picked up her chopsticks and picked up some food. She suddenly glanced at him and made a sound in her mouth, wondering: "Isn't that who it is?"
"Who is it?" The grim-faced Taoist priest turned his head and found He Siniang staring at the restaurant lobby.
He Siniang pointed to the west side of the lobby: "Look at the table of diners at the end, does it look like the person at the east end... Who does it look like... Why do I suddenly can't remember it?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace and sharp eyes looked at him and immediately said: "Fourth Master Xue!"
"Yes! Isn't that the Fourth Master Xue we met in Wenqing Town?!"
"Are you two talking about touching the Fourth Master Xue, the captain of the Golden Academy?" Meng Qingyao asked.
"Exactly." The grim-faced Taoist priest nodded: "And the few people around him look familiar. It seems they are all Captain Mojin who appeared in the restaurant that day."
"Four Mojin captains came out together?" Meng Qingyao was a little surprised: "One of them is the master of Mojin sect. What are they going to do with such a big pomp?"
The Taoist Priest with a grimace rubbed his chin and frowned: "Something's wrong. In a border town like this, it would have been unusual to encounter a group of Mushroom Men Laohai (companions) in the past. How come we met two groups of people in a row today? How come we met two groups of people in a row today?" It was the sect master who personally took action with his people."
"There are more than two groups, Taoist Master, don't forget that there is also the Yin-Yang True Lord Xu Yibai whom you met on the boat."
"Yes, that guy might have come here as well, but wouldn't it be weirder to say that? Why do these famous sects come to this flower house instead of fighting each other instead of fighting?"
"Could it be that we are also here for the girl named 'Hongyu'?" Meng Qingyao said: "Since Mrs. Qi and the others are here for this, then it is no accident that Colonel Mo Jin appears here. ?”
"The key point is, what kind of magic power does that red jade girl have that actually attracts laborers from several major sects to come here?"
"No." He Siniang interrupted at this time: "I feel that they may not be coming for Miss Hongyu, but they are most likely coming for the ancient tomb at the ferry."
"What Siniang means is..."
"The thing that can attract the Mushroom Gate is most likely an ancient tomb. And since this ferry ancient tomb is so noisy, it's not surprising that it attracts some fishermen."
"Pindao understands a little bit. It seems that we still know too little information about the Fukou Ancient Tomb. There is probably something else hidden inside, otherwise it would not attract so many big sects."
"Not only that." He Siniang said: "Old Mrs. Qi knows people well and will never do useless things. Every action she takes is extremely purposeful. Now that she has arrived in this flower house today, she must It shows that the red jade girl is very important to her. Assuming that Mrs. Qi came to the Dukou Ancient Tomb, I guess that this ruby jade girl will probably have some connection with the Dukou Ancient Tomb."
"Ancient tomb... prostitute..." The grim-faced Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then scratched his head and said: "It's really impossible to associate the two with each other, but Siniang's mind is trustworthy, not to mention you know it best. There must be some truth to this analysis of Mrs. Qi’s temperament.”
"There is another important reason why I reasoned like this. When I was in Jinyuefu, Mrs. Qi once talked about a vicious method of fighting, called 'the matchmaker avoids evil spirits', which is to bring women with specific birthdays to In the evil tomb, with its extremely yin physique, it can attract certain evil spirits, and then you can fish with peace of mind. Combined with what the merchant ship clerk said before, I judge that the ferry ancient tomb is probably an evil tomb, and today Mrs. Qi You and Fourth Master Xue are gathered in the Flower House again, could it be that they are here to find this Yin 'medium' that is used to avoid evil spirits?"
