"This..." Bu Xiaotian was speechless when Duan Jiuzhou asked him this question.
"Okay, little brother, it's time for me to go."
Duan Jiuzhou stood up at this time, threw a sign to Bu Xiaotian, and said: "Take this, maybe you will need it in the future. It is best not to tell others about what happened last night, otherwise your master may not What kind of affection do you care about?"
Bu Xiaotian stretched out his hand to catch the sign Duan Jiuzhou threw at him. The sign was less than the size of a palm. The material was unusual. It was cold to the touch and quite heavy. There were some strange lines on the sign. The overall look seemed to be a special symbol. .
Bu Xiaotian held the sign in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, but found nothing special about the sign.
Duan Jiuzhou added: "You must keep this sign. It is best to carry it with you, but never let others see it, otherwise you will be in disaster."
"I saved your life, why did you give me something that would cause trouble?" Bu Xiaotian raised his head and asked in confusion after hearing Duan Jiuzhou's words.
"Haha, naturally I want to repay your life-saving grace. Although this thing may bring you disaster, at other times it can save you a lot of trouble."
Duan Jiuzhou chuckled and explained.
"Okay, little brother, I see that you have extraordinary qualifications and your future achievements will be limitless. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I believe you and I are destined. There will be a day when we meet again in the future. See you soon!"
After Duan Jiuzhou finished speaking, he didn't see any movement. The halberd beside him actually rose up in the air and lay in front of him. With a slight leap, he jumped onto the head of the halberd and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky. .
Bu Xiaotian watched Duan Jiuzhou leave here and shook his head violently, as if to get rid of the chaotic thoughts.
He put away the hematite fan in his hand and the sign Duan Jiuzhou gave him, and made a secret to summon a stream of real fire to burn the corpses on the ground to ashes. Then he raised his sword and flew towards the direction of Yuxu Gate. go.
Seven days later, at dusk, on the edge of the Xuyun Mountains, a stream of light fell on a deserted road, revealing the figure of Bu Xiaotian, whose face was full of dust.
Not far ahead is Yuyang City. If the sword fell directly into the city, it would be a bit shocking and eye-catching.
Bu Xiaotian didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he simply landed in a deserted place and prepared to walk into the city.
After driving for several days in a row, even though Bu Xiaotian had improved a lot recently, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, so he wanted to rest in the city for one night and set off back to the mountain tomorrow.
Furthermore, although it was only a little more than a month before he went down the mountain, Bu Xiaotian's mood was very different from when he first came down the mountain. Many things that happened along the way required Bu Xiaotian to calm down and think about it carefully. .
When Bu Xiaotian entered Yuyang City, he did not go to the large restaurant "Zui Xian Lou" that he had been to several times before. He just found an ordinary small inn and stayed in it.
Entering the inn, it was getting late and there were already some people in the store. No one paid attention to Bu Xiaotian's arrival.
Bu Xiaotian asked for a guest room, ordered a few side dishes, went into the room, and never came out.
After night falls, a crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and most of the shops in the city have closed their stalls.
Only a few of the more "special" places were still brightly lit, with laughter and laughter lingering around, or shouts and shouts shaking the roof, making the place extremely lively.
Those are the city's famous Gold Selling Cave, the largest gambling house "Wanjinfang" and the three most famous romantic places "Yihongyuan", "Miaoyin Tower" and "Xianyu Pavilion".
The business of the gambling house is nothing more than odd and even, dice, four-door magic, Pai Gow, Yiqi, pot throwing, horse hanging, brown fighting, cock fighting, duck fighting, goose fighting, quail fighting, walking horse, walking dog, fighting and weaving, Making a living by twisting money, spreading money, shutting down money, etc.
Although nine out of ten gamblers lose, there are always people who think that they will be the lucky ones left. Those who win still want to win, and those who lose want to make up for their losses. But they don’t know that if you gamble for a long time, you will lose. Pieces will fall from the sky. How could it be your turn?
In the end, I don’t know how many people lost their lives and lost their wives and children.
But even with this bloody lesson before us, there is always a shortage of people in the world who want to make a sudden fortune.
The losers are gone and dead, and there is a steady stream of people jumping into this big dark mouth, gambling again and again, losing again, losing again and gambling again, and the cycle goes on and on.
Yihongyuan, on the other hand, is a real prostitution den, engaged in a lowly and despicable meat-selling business, and the people who come here are often vulgar and despicable people.
No matter you are a gentle and elegant young man, or a street vendor selling vegetables, when you enter the gate of Yihongyuan, you seem to have shed the false skin in front of others, revealing the true face of an animal.
A truly elegant scholar or a well-educated wealthy man would never go to such a filthy place.
Miaoyin Tower and Xianyu Pavilion are the ideal places for them to find fun. Although these two places can be regarded as romantic places, their businesses are very different from Yihongyuan.
The women in these two places are all rare and beautiful women, but there is no trace of coquettishness. They generally have good skills and will never rely on selling their bodies in exchange for money.
All the women in Miaoyinlou are proficient in musical instruments and dance. Among the musical instruments such as harp, harp, pipa, sheng, Xiao, flute, etc., there is always one thing they are good at.
Entering the Miaoyin Tower, the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard endlessly. It is the woman in the lobby playing for the guests in the hall.
In addition to the lobby, there are many separate private rooms in the building. The sounds from outside cannot be transmitted into the private rooms, and the sounds from the private rooms will not be transmitted out. If any guest catches the girl's eye, he can enter. In the private room, enjoy and listen to the girl's performance alone.
Of course, just playing.
As for Xianyu Pavilion, although the women here are also familiar with some music theory, they are best at chess, calligraphy and painting.
The women in Xianyu Pavilion all have outstanding literary talents, and they have a unique scholarly atmosphere that attracts countless literati and poets.
Although countless literati were obsessed with the women of Xianyu Pavilion, no one dared to cause trouble here.
Whether it is Xianyu Pavilion or Miaoyin Tower, there is a group of powerful guards. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will never end well.
Tonight, the Xianyu Pavilion was like usual, with countless guests either reciting poems and playing poems, or drinking tea and playing chess.
Although it is lively, it is not noisy.
Suddenly, an unharmonious voice came from next to a table, breaking the atmosphere: "Wait a minute, I made the wrong move just now. Play again!"
It immediately attracted the attention of the people at the chess tables nearby, and saw that sitting here was a young master. This man had a handsome face, and his clothes were not luxurious, but there was a bit of cynical freedom in his eyebrows.
At this time, the young man had a look of remorse on his face, obviously regretting the wrong move he had just made. He was looking pleadingly at the beautiful woman sitting opposite him.
The woman didn't seem to care about the eyes of others, and said calmly: "Sir, as the saying goes, 'A true gentleman watches chess but does not speak, and a man has no regrets when he raises his hand.' Now that you have made a move, how can you regret it?"
"This... Miss Qinglian, you see, I was distracted for a moment and accidentally made a wrong step. Can't you be a little more accommodating?"
After hearing the words of the woman named Qinglian, the man had a look of embarrassment on his face, but he still forced himself to plead. He seemed to be a persistent person.
"No, no matter what the reason is for the young master to end up here, it is a foregone conclusion and there is no room for regret."
Qinglian looked unmoved at all.
Unexpectedly, the young man was still unwilling to give up. He even grabbed Qinglian's soft and white wrist in a moment of desperation and begged: "Qinglian, please let me have this child again!"
"Master, please respect yourself!"
Qinglian's wrist was grabbed by this strange man, and her face couldn't help but blush. She struggled for a while, but found that the back of her hand was firmly grasped, and it was difficult to break free for a while, and she suddenly became anxious.
"Master, please let go!"
"I won't let you go unless you promise to let me make this move again!"
The young man still refused to give up easily and held Qinglian's wrist tightly, looking like he was cheating.
"Sir, please let me go first, please?"
Qinglian had never had such a skin-to-skin kiss with another man. Her voice was filled with a hint of crying, her eyes were slightly red, and tears seemed to be filling her eyes.
At this time, the dispute here had already attracted the attention of many people. Several tall and strong guards had already arrived at the chess table. Seeing the young man being so helpless, there was a trace of anger in his eyes.
"Sir, how can Xianyu Pavilion allow you to be so frivolous and unrestrained? How will Qinglian behave in the future if you are so entangled? Please leave quickly and don't let these guards take action."
A calm and elegant voice, but neither humble nor arrogant, came from behind the guard. When several guards heard this voice, they showed respectful expressions on their faces and stepped aside one after another. An older woman with elegant clothes and a calm and extraordinary temperament slowly walked away. Walked from between the guards.
"Ya Gu..."
When Qinglian saw the woman appear, she called out softly, her face looking slightly relaxed but with a hint of grievance.
The person who came was none other than Yagu, the person in charge of Xianyu Pavilion.
Yagu looked at Qinglian who was about to cry, nodded slightly to her, and then said to the young man: "Young master, you still won't let go? Are you really going to cause trouble in my Xianyu Pavilion?"
Seeing the faint chill on Yagu's face, the man realized that his actions at this time had angered her. He loosened his grip, hurriedly let go of Qinglian, and opened his mouth to explain.
"Yagu, I'm not causing trouble. I just want Miss Qinglian to allow me to regret my move."
“I already know the whole story, and there’s no need to say more.
This young master must be coming to our Xianyu Pavilion for the first time, right? Qinglian has made it very clear, "A man with no regrets", a man born in this world should stand upright and bear the consequences of his actions no matter what the reason is.
Now it's just a wrong move, and the young master wants to regret it and start over again. If it's something else, can the young master also start over? "
At the end of Yagu's words, she actually compared the man to a repetitive villain.
"I, Lotte Qihui, are such a coward who dare not take responsibility? It's just a chess piece. Isn't it too serious, Yagu?"
The young man suddenly became anxious when he saw that Yagu actually classified him as a villain.
"Huh," Yagu snorted softly and said, "Although this matter seems to be just a small chess piece, it is related to the principles of human conduct. If thousands of seemingly insignificant things like chess pieces come together, Is it still a small matter? A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest. You must know that even a drop of water can penetrate the stone!"
"Yagu, you are too harsh!" Lotte became more and more serious when Yagu said it, but he had nothing to say to refute it.
"Young Master Lotte, there is no need to say any more. I will not pursue your frivolous behavior towards Qinglian. Please leave our Xianyu Pavilion!"
Seeing that Lotte seemed to have some words to say, Yagu didn't want to say any more.
"Didn't you just hold your hand? Why did you say it was so serious? Are you still going to pursue it?"
Lotte muttered with dissatisfaction when she heard Yagu's words about not pursuing the matter.
Unexpectedly, Yagu's hearing was extremely good, and she heard Lotte's words word for word. She turned back halfway and scolded:
"Is holding hands a trivial matter in Young Master's opinion? Men and women are not allowed to be intimate. If all the guests who come to my Xianyu Pavilion are as Young Master thinks, this one will hold hands and that one will touch their faces.
Over time, everyone will think that the girls in Xianyu Pavilion are casual and frivolous people, and they will want to take advantage of it. How do you let them deal with it? Will you swallow your anger? "
