The small sampan is like a flexible fish, passing between large and small painted sampans. The light and shadow on Shu Guan's face change with the change of distance, and the singing floating on the river is also far and near.
The boatman rocked the boat and approached a huge painting boat.
This is a three-story-high painting boat. It looks so outstanding on the Qinhuai River at night.
Above the painting boat, neon lights flooded the ground, and the ripples and shadows floated in gold. A woman's singing came from the window, and the lights were full of figures mingling with each other.
At this time, the small sampan sailed towards the splendid painting boat, just like running towards an extremely beautiful dream.
That is Lai Feng Fang, the most famous flower boat on the Qinhuai River. Before coming here, Dai Renlong had introduced it to Shu Guan that the singing girls on this flower boat were all stunning beauties carefully selected from the local elite in the south of the Yangtze River. After undergoing various trainings, in addition to having a good singing voice, he is also proficient in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
And those who can come to this flower boat to listen to music, drink and have fun are naturally the dignitaries with status and status in Jinling City.
Fengfang didn't set any special threshold for guests to get on the boat, but the price for tea on this boat started at 100 silver dollars, let alone the hair of the singing girls. This was naturally already It puts most people off.
As for the owner of the Lai Feng Boat, according to what Dai Renlong introduced to him, he is an uncle from the Qing Gang named Zhou in Jinling City. However, there are several other important figures in Jinling City who are on board the Lai Feng Boat. There are shares, such as Mr. President’s uncle-in-law who is indispensable wherever he makes money.
The small sampan rowed next to Lai Feng Fang. Lai Feng Fang did not stop and was still slowly moving forward on the Qinhuai River. The boatman who came to pick up Shuguan showed off his superb boat control skills at this moment. He paddled with one hand, and the sampan and Lai Feng Fang maintained almost the same speed, so that Lai Feng Fang seemed to be motionless.
Then an escalator stretched out from the side of Lai Feng Fang.
Shu Guan stretched out his hand to hold the handrail of the escalator and stepped on the escalator pedal with one foot first.
But at this moment, a big wave suddenly rolled under the small sampan. The wave came so suddenly that the boatman was unable to maintain the stability of the small sampan for a while.
The sampan shook violently.
Shu Guan had just stepped on the escalator with one foot, and his body became unsteady and he was about to fall into the Qinhuai River.
Fortunately, a hand stretched out from behind and held him firmly.
"Guest, be careful."
The boatman, who looked to be in his fifties and had a weathered face, spoke apologetically in Mandarin with a strong Jinling local accent.
Shu Guan turned his head and glanced at him, thanked him as if he was a little scared, then turned around and continued to board the Lai Feng Fang.
When he turned his head, Shu Guan's mind also surged with a big wave.
...This seemingly crude and mediocre boatman is actually a cultivator?
When Shu Guan boarded the small sampan about ten minutes ago, he didn't notice anything unusual about the boatman.
Until the water wave just now.
The wave came suddenly and inexplicably, as if it was a wave that appeared out of thin air.
However, Shu Guan, who has cultivated the Huan technique, could clearly sense that the waves were caused by the oar in the boatman's hand.
Shu Guan, who has an extremely keen sense of water, noticed at that moment the subtle changes in the force of the oar in the boatman's hand in the water, and then waves appeared in the water, shaking the boat.
That is not something that ordinary people can do. Even martial arts masters cannot have such strong wrist strength and fine control capabilities.
Although the boatman did not use spiritual power, it still belonged to the category of extraordinary power.
In the memory of the Lotus Leader, the soft drugs he used to control his followers were bought on the Lai Feng Fang flower boat, but the Lotus Leader's understanding of the Lai Feng Fang seemed to be That's all.
Of course, the Lotus Master is just an ordinary person. If there is anything unusual about Fengfang, he would not be able to notice it.
But Shu Guan is different.
He originally just wanted to come and see who was selling the soft drugs that were quite advanced in this era, but now he discovered that the secrets hidden on Fengfang might be far beyond his expectation. .
So Shu Guan immediately decided to make himself look like an ordinary mortal as if he was unstable and about to fall into the water.
Because he knew that the boatman who suddenly made such a wave probably wanted to see his true identity.
Shuguan's performance at that moment just now was flawless.
...Deng Zongnan was right, he might really be a born good actor...
Shu Guan walked onto the boat.
On the small sampan behind him, the boatman raised his head, grinned at someone on the side of the boat above, and shook his head.
When Shu Guan boarded the Fengfang deck, a woman in her thirties with a plump figure, fair skin, and a pretty face came up to her.
"But Lord Rongxing, this is the lady who comes to comb your hair on the Fengfang. Lord Rong can just call Lady Snow. Director Dai sent someone to explain it to me in the afternoon. I want my family to treat Master Rong well!"
Rongxing is the name Shu Guan gave himself casually. As for the lady combing her hair, she is actually equivalent to the madam in a brothel.
Xue Niang approached Shu Guan affectionately, took Shu Guan's arm, and a gust of fragrant wind blew into his nostrils.
"This is your first time for Mr. Rong to come to Fengfang. I don't know what kind of women Mr. Rong likes. Snow Lady can arrange it for you. However, there are all kinds of women on our Fengfang."
Shu Guan did not avoid the intimate contact with the hair-combing lady who called Snow Lady.
While he was restraining the fluctuations of spiritual power in his body, he was also silently observing the most subtle changes in the woman's body.
He didn't realize that the boatman just now was a practitioner at first.
It shows that the other party has a very powerful method of concentrating and hiding Qi. You must know that Shu Guan is now a powerful person in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Although his cultivation in all aspects is not comparable to that of a real Nascent Soul, Xiaoyi is indeed a Nascent Soul, and his perception of the aura around him is no longer comparable to that of himself when he first met him.
However, he still didn't notice anything unusual about the boatman just now, which showed that the boatman's method of concentrating his breath and concealing his energy was of extremely high level.
At this moment, Shu Guan also did not notice the fluctuation of spiritual power on the young woman Hua Xin who was holding his arm, so he was also unable to judge whether this Snow Lady was also a practitioner.
But what surprised Shu Guan was that although this woman looked to be in her thirties, the touch that came when her arm came into contact with the other person's body was that the snow girl's skin had such amazing elasticity, as if she was seventeen. An eight-year-old girl.
And although this woman's face was covered with thick makeup, the exposed skin on her neck and wrists was actually fairer and more delicate than her face with makeup, and had an extremely healthy luster.
In addition, under this woman's rich powdery fragrance, her body actually exudes an extremely fresh and pleasant smell.
Ordinary people may not be able to smell the snow lady's own body odor that is covered up by the powdery smell, but it cannot be hidden from Shu Guan's sense of smell.
The problem is that a madam who has been living day and night for a long time, and who has to drink with others every day, will not be able to maintain such a good physical condition when she is in her thirties, even if she is not completely ruined.
The details of this snow girl's physical condition have actually revealed a lot of things.
Sometimes, judging whether a person is a practitioner does not necessarily depend on whether he has spiritual power fluctuations. After all, the physical body nourished by spiritual power is somewhat different from ordinary mortals.
...Already the second practitioner!
Although he could not tell what level of practitioners the boatman and the snow lady were, Shu Guan had realized that there was a big problem with this flower boat, which was famous in Jinling City.
Shu Guan seemed to have inadvertently pulled his arm out of Xue Niang's arms.
Now that he has the answer, there is no need to take advantage of others, and Shu Guan doesn't want the woman to notice that his body does not look like that of a middle-aged man.
"Xue Niang, you can just call any girl. Today I just want to listen to music and enjoy the night view of Qinhuai."
Then Shu Guan smiled and said to the woman who must also be a practitioner.
His original plan was that after boarding the ship, he would directly find the person who sold the light pink liquid to the Lotus Leader as introduced by the Lotus Leader to see how those soft drugs were produced.
But at this moment, after discovering that there were practitioners on board the Lai Feng Fang, which seemed to hide many secrets, Shu Guan was not in a hurry. He now wanted to find out what exactly such a flower boat had on the Qinhuai River. Purpose.
Of course, it is impossible for a practitioner to really work as a boatman here, and it is also impossible for a practitioner to become a bustard here purely because of his hobby.
"Then the slave family will take Master Rong to his room first, and then choose a girl for Master Rong who can sing well and is well-behaved and sensible."
Xue Niang led Shu Guan toward the first floor of the boat.
This Lai Feng boat has three floors above the deck. It is a wooden building in the traditional Dahua style, but it is extremely magnificent. There are exquisite carvings and paintings between the flying rafts and railings, all of which are in the style of Feng Lai. A picture of the dragon swallowing Kuihu.
Xue Niang led Shu Guan into a room on the first floor. A brazier was already burning in the room. The moment you walked in, you felt as warm as spring. The layout of the room was naturally extremely luxurious, with transparent glass on the windows. , allowing people to enjoy the night view of Qinhuai without opening the windows in this cold winter.
A little maid of twelve or thirteen years old came with a hot towel and asked Shu Guan to wash his face. Then Xue Niang ordered the little maid to prepare wine and food, and then smiled at Shu Guan and said:
"Master Rong, please sit down first, and I will help you choose a good girl."
When the maid brought the wine and food, Snow Lady came in with a singing girl holding a pipa.
"Master Rong, this girl Lanlan is one of the red cards we have come to Fengfang. Not only is she a good singer, but she is also a very sensible person. I wonder what Master Rong thinks of her."
Shu Guan looked up and saw that this girl Lanlan had a beautiful face, slim figure, and a quiet and elegant temperament. She didn't look like a singing girl on a boat, but more like a lady.
The singers on Fengfang are indeed of excellent quality, but what Xue Niang said is a red card. It’s just a matter of listening to it. It’s my first time here. How can this lady who combs her hair introduce the best singer to her? Own.
Then Shuguan smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
"Then Master Rong will drink and listen to music first. The slave family will come over later to toast Master Rong. Lanlan, you must accompany Master Rong well. Master Rong, I will not disturb you for now."
Xue Niang once again walked out of the room with her charming body swaying.
Shu Guan stared at her back. If he hadn't noticed the abnormality of this woman's physical condition, he wouldn't have seen any difference between her and an ordinary brothel madam.
If we talk about actors, this is also a good actor!
I just don’t know why a cultivator, disguised as a madam, welcomes and sends off people on this flower boat every day so wronged me.
Of course, there are not without such practitioners, and there are even some practicing sects that have continuously advanced and made breakthroughs by tempering their Taoist hearts in such a humble place.
Just like Baihualou in Shanghai's cultivation world, it is such a cultivation sect, but such a cultivation sect is extremely rare.
Shuguan vaguely felt that the situation in Fengfang and Baihualou seemed to be somewhat different.
Then his eyes turned to the girl Lan Lan in front of him.
He looked at Miss Lanlan very carefully.
After a few seconds, Shu Guan made a rough judgment that this singer should be a real ordinary person.
Although she is very young, perhaps due to long-term nightlife, her skin condition is not as good as that of the snow girl who looks to be in her thirties. It is already a little saggy and her blood is not very good. She relies on makeup to cover her face. of fatigue.
Lan Lan seemed to be a little shy when she was being watched. Of course, she just seemed a little shy.
"Master Rong, I don't know what music you like to listen to. Lan Lan can sing it to you."
Miss Lan Lan lowered her head and said with a shy smile.
"You can sing whatever you want, just sing what you're best at."
Shu Guan smiled.
So Miss Lan Lan sat opposite him, held the pipa and started playing and singing. Her singing voice was indeed extremely sweet and melodious. Like those popular singers in Shuguan's previous life, there were not many who could sing a cappella to her level.
Shu Guan finally moved his eyes away from Miss Lan Lan's delicate body and looked out the window.
At this time, the Qinhuai River was brightly lit, large and small boats were passing by, the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious, and the stars in the sky were eclipsed by this bustling and warm river.
Shu looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window and seemed to be in a daze.
He was really in a trance.
The soul is out of body.
Xiaoyi quietly rose from above his head and floated out of the room.
But the girl Lanlan didn't realize it at all, just holding the pipa in her arms and singing softly.
Of course, Shu Guan couldn't sit here and listen to music all the time. His purpose of sitting down was to find out the details of the Lai Feng Fang.
At this time, he didn't know how many practitioners were on board the Lai Feng Fang or what the strength of these practitioners was.
And if he investigates it himself, whether he uses invisibility charms, wall penetration techniques, or other Taoist techniques, there will be some spiritual energy fluctuations, which can be easily detected by other practitioners on the boat.
And letting Xiaoyi go out of body to explore on his behalf would naturally make it much more hidden.
Xiaoyi is not an ordinary Yuanying, and there is no need for him to control and command after leaving the body.
And if the Nascent Soul does not appear in front of others, let alone ordinary people cannot see it, even practitioners in the fetal movement realm will find it difficult to detect it.
Of course, Xiaoyi is not completely invisible. Practitioners in the Nascent Soul Realm, or some powerful people in the Fetal Movement Realm with extremely sensitive souls, can still sense her existence. If there is someone on board the Lai Feng Fang Xiaoyi is still very likely to be exposed as such a practitioner.
But so what?
If you want to explore the secrets on this painting boat, you naturally have to bear the risk of being discovered, unless you choose to do nothing.
Moreover, Shu Guan is now invincible among the land gods, and even if there are land gods or even immortals on the boat, he has ten dzi beads, so he is not unable to escape.
So after choosing the least risky method of exploration, Shu Guan began to truly appreciate Lan Lan's singing, the beautiful scenery outside the window, and the delicious wine and food in front of him.
In the meantime, Xue Niang came back to toast him once, but she didn't notice anything unusual. She had no idea that the guest who was chatting, laughing and drinking with her was using the Nascent Soul's method of leaving the body to explore the secret of her boat.
After all, Shu Guan's Nascent Soul can leave the body without even the slightest connection with itself. This ability cannot even be achieved by many powerful Nascent Souls at their peak.
And half an hour later, Xiaoyi quietly returned to the room.
Shu Guan smiled slightly.
It seemed that there were no practitioners on board this Lai Feng Fang that I was worried about.
Xiaoyi Shuguan's Tianling Point returned to Shuguan's spiritual platform, and then he showed what he had just seen and heard on the boat one by one in Shuguan's mind.
The first thing Xiaoyi started to search were the rooms on the first floor of the boat.
The scene in these rooms is no different from an ordinary painting boat. The girls singing and the guests drinking are all ordinary people, and they are all talking about romantic affairs.
Of course, some rooms are not limited to chatting, but are actually doing romantic things.
"Brother, I think there is nothing wrong with these people. I won't show you those scenes."
Xiaoyi said sweetly in Shuguan's mind.
As expected, he is a Nascent Soul with a very independent consciousness!
Shu Guan didn't know whether to feel sorry or to praise Xiao Yi.
After exploring the first floor, Xiaoyi went to the second floor.
"The second floor is really interesting."
After Xiao Yi said this, a scene suddenly appeared in Shu Guan's mind.
It was a more luxurious room than the one he was currently in.
There are three people in the room.
One should be a singer, but her appearance and temperament are obviously a level higher than that of Miss Lan Lan.
One is a middle-aged man wearing a suit with a fat head and big ears.
The singer was not singing at this time, but was standing behind the fat middle-aged man, gently squeezing the middle-aged man's shoulders.
There is another person, but it is Xue Niang.
Xue Niang held a glass of wine in her hand and smiled charmingly at the fat middle-aged man:
"Guan Li, I would like to propose a toast to you. I would like to ask Superintendent Li to take more care of and be accommodating to those cargo ships from the Western Continent."
In the midst of Xue Niang's charming smile, the singing girl with the best appearance and temperament standing behind the middle-aged man touched the middle-aged man's forehead with her jade hand, and there seemed to be a blue light flowing faintly between her fingers.
Shu Guan smiled again.
It’s really interesting!
