This Yanzhou City has existed since the early days of Northern Shaolin.
The preservation time is almost the same as that of Northern Shaolin.
For thousands of years, its scale can be imagined.
Moreover, it is close to Northern Shaolin. Disciples from Northern Shaolin patrol the Yanzhou City every day, so the security is excellent.
As time went by, in addition to tourists and pilgrims preparing to go to Northern Shaolin, business in Yanzhou City was also prosperous.
Although it is not as prosperous as the capital of the Song Dynasty, it is even more prosperous.
Therefore, after several people finished eating the most famous vegetarian meal in this restaurant, they did not return to the inn immediately, but prepared to stroll around Yanzhou City for a while.
However, thinking of the silver taels spent just now, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but murmured: "Obviously they are all vegetarian food. The total ingredients are only three taels, but we actually charged ten taels."
Listening to what Qu Feiyan said next to him, Xiao Zhao sighed and said: "That's right! When I first stayed in the courtyard of an inn in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I only had thirty taels of time per night, but here in Yanzhou City there are actually It costs fifty taels, so expensive.”
Chu Qinghe, who was holding the little guy in his arms, said slowly: "Most of those who can come to Yanzhou City are going to Northern Shaolin to offer incense. In the Song Dynasty, those who can leisurely go to Northern Shaolin will be poor. People?"
Just like the prices in scenic spots are often extremely high.
Whether it was around the Southern Shaolin of Ming Dynasty or the Northern Shaolin, the prices were far higher than other places.
After all, it was not like the Wudang Clan. Zhang Sanfeng personally issued some requirements and regulations to those doing business at the foot of Wudang Mountain in consideration of price issues.
Although it is close to Shaolin, objects related to Buddha can be seen everywhere in Yanzhou City, but as a businessman, if you want to make money, it is natural not only to buy and sell some simple goods.
Not to mention the performances of various theater groups, there are even Buddhist lantern festivals on some streets, which include various lantern riddles featuring Buddha and lanterns with Buddha images.
There are also some stalls that hold some Buddhist beads as gambling tools and let people guess odd and even bets and have Buddha statues tattooed on their bodies.
If that's the case, that's it.
The key is that Chu Qinghe actually saw some women wearing nun costumes beside the railing on the second floor of some brothels.
And when soliciting, the title is "donor".
"Talent!"
After looking away from the brothel, even Chu Qinghe had to sigh at the profound Buddhist charm of Yanzhou City.
At least the merchants in this city have more fun than those in the towns next to Shaolin in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Chu Qinghe had this strange feeling when he was walking around Yanzhou City, let alone Jellyfish Yin Ji and the other girls.
After looking away from the brothel woman dressed as a nun in the distance, Qu Feiyan said with a strange expression: "Master, these brothel people are doing this, does Northern Shaolin not care about it?"
Qu Feiyan could barely understand using these beads as bets and tattooing Buddha statues.
But the brothels in Yanzhou City mainly focus on Buddhist themes, and they are still in the town next to the North Shaolin Mountain Gate.
It makes no sense to ignore Northern Shaolin.
Listening to what Qu Feiyan said, Chu Qinghe next to him said quietly: "This Yanzhou City is close to Northern Shaolin, so it is naturally within the sphere of influence of Northern Shaolin. All the merchants here will allocate corresponding tax money to provide supplies every month. Northern Shaolin, after all, these are done by businessmen in the city and are not managed by Northern Shaolin personally. They have reasons to explain to the outside world and can obtain a lot of money, so why should Northern Shaolin interfere blindly?"
In other words, the money earned by each of the brothels’ brothels is equivalent to that of Northern Shaolin.
Who would interfere with your own business if you are full?
Listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Wang Yuyanhuan on the side glanced around, then glanced at the woman dressed as a nun in the brothel in the distance and said in a complicated tone: "I didn't expect that the area around Northern Shaolin is just a place to hide dirt. A place of filth."
Lin Shiyin heard the voice and said quietly: "There are thousands of temples in the world, but most of them are just using the name of some Buddhas to benefit themselves."
"If your six roots are truly pure, you should be accompanied by the ancient Buddha with a green lantern, abide by your own heart, and save yourself and others."
"Since the establishment of a force like Northern Shaolin, it is no longer a Buddhist sect. It is just a Jianghu force that chants the Buddha's name openly and silently."
"In summary, the behavior of the Beggar Clan people in recent years is more noble. It's no wonder that the young master had such a high opinion of the Beggar Clan."
At this time, Jellyfish Yinji glanced in a certain direction and said softly: "Those have been following for almost a stick of incense, don't you care?"
Facing what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, Chu Qinghe said slowly: "I don't do anything else anyway, just stare!"
As the voice came out, Lian Xing looked sideways and asked, "Brother-in-law, you mean the people who are staring at us are from the Great Yuan Kingdom?"
Chu Qinghe gave a slight "hmm" signal.
"After all, they showed some strength against the Eighth Master last time, and Pang Ban and the others suffered losses at my hands twice before, so it's normal for them to be wary of me."
Seeing Chu Qinghe's nonchalant look, the women stopped their thoughts and continued wandering around.
It wasn't until nightfall that a few people slowly returned to the inn.
Late at night, when Wang Yuyan, Qu Feiyan and the other girls came out from the bath and sat down, Qu Feiyan said with a happy face, "I didn't expect that there is a special bathing pool in the courtyard of this inn."
Xiao Zhao beside him said weakly: "But just taking two baths like this will cost five taels of silver, which is too expensive."
"Five taels?"
After hearing what Xiao Zhao said, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhao in shock.
Xiao Zhao nodded and said: "Originally, it only takes three taels to fill the water in the pool, but because of Miss Wang's inconvenience, the young master and we can only take a bath separately, so we only need five taels after filling it twice."
At the end, Xiao Zhao said quietly: "If you add more petals to it, I'll take two more taels. If you want to attract some people to sing nearby to cheer up, I'll take three more taels."
Seeing Xiao Zhao counting these additional items with his fingers, Qu Feiyan and the other women next to him had strange expressions on their faces.
After a few breaths, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but said: "Isn't it too easy to make money?"
Qu Feiyan, who was next to him, muttered: "I just saw that there are a lot of guests in the inn. I think this inn brings in a lot of money every month. This is just an inn. Calculating the entire Yanzhou City, I'm afraid it's just the amount of money paid to the inn every year." The money in Northern Shaolin is beyond what ordinary people can imagine, so no wonder Northern Shaolin sends some monks to patrol."
"I'm afraid that the monthly income from this Yanzhou City is comparable to the income from more than a dozen ordinary towns in other places, just like the Gold Sales Cave."
For a moment, Qu Feiyan felt like he had eyesight.
As for Jellyfish Yinji and Lianxing, regarding today's affairs in Yanzhou City, they are also thinking about whether to make the towns near Shenshui Palace and Yihua Palace like this.
But after thinking about it for a moment, both women shook their heads.
Not to mention that the situation in the Ming Dynasty was different from that in the Song Dynasty.
The situation in Yihua Palace and Shenshui Palace where the two girls were located was also completely different from that in Northern Shaolin.
Collecting too many things like money will not be of much use to Shenshui Palace and Yihua Palace.
But no matter what the situation is in Yanzhou City and Northern Shaolin, it has nothing to do with the women at the moment.
And when Chu Qinghe informed Xiao Zhao to take out the chess box, the women's attention was instantly diverted.
Especially the three girls Qu Feiyan, their expressions fell almost instantly.
After a while, looking at Qu Feiyan, who was sitting across the Chu Qing River, holding a chess piece in one hand, trembling all over, with a look of horror on his face, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhao and said: "Why are you and Mr. Zhao When playing chess, are you always like this when you encounter a nightmare?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhao opened his mouth and said: "Our cultivation has improved too fast, and our state of mind has not kept up. As a result, we have encountered obstacles in martial arts. Therefore, Young Master uses the method of chess to improve our state of mind."
Wang Yuyan wondered: "Can playing chess improve a warrior's state of mind?"
Xiao Zhao shook his head and said: "It's different. Young master can use chess to play a game, thereby pulling the players into a fantasy world to experience the things we fear most. It is not a simple game of chess."
Listening to what Xiao Zhao said, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but be surprised and said: "You can actually draw people into the illusion through the game of Go. Master Zhao's move is really surprising."
While speaking, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but put her eyes on the chessboard. When her eyes moved, she seemed to want to see the differences inside.
Half an hour later, after Qu Feiyan and the other three women had gone through several exquisite interrogations, Chu Qinghe sighed in his heart as he glanced at the three women, who all had sad faces and were clearly adjusting their moods.
It has been quite some time since the girls encountered martial arts disabilities.
But whether it is for Qu Feiyan, Lin Shiyin or Xiao Zhao, the past is still vivid in their minds and difficult to dispel.
Naturally, under such circumstances, even though the three women experienced Linglong questioning every day, it was still difficult to get rid of their inner demons.
So after this period of time, although the three women's mental state has improved, it has not reached a level that is enough for the three women's martial arts barrier to be broken.
"It seems that we need to use some external help."
The moonlight is like a haze, gently falling from the sky, and accompanied by the breeze, it seems that wisps of breeze have penetrated into the lantern along the gaps, making the candles in the lantern on the stone table cannot help but With swaying up.
Under this candlelight, the candlelight that originally shone on Chu Qinghe's face also flickered lightly.
However, Chu Qinghe did not pay attention to the changes in the candlelight. He still twisted the chess piece with one hand and looked at the chess game with a downcast face, thinking quietly.
But Wang Yuyan, who was sitting aside, subconsciously moved her eyes towards Chu Qinghe under the influence of the candlelight.
And when Wang Yuyan's eyes fell on Chu Qinghe's side profile, which was so handsome that no one could find anything wrong with it, Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes flashed lightly, and she gradually became a little absent-minded while looking at Chu Qinghe.
For Wang Yuyan, she unconsciously fell into the beauty of Chu Qinghe.
Not to mention Lian Xing, who is a Yan Party member next to him.
When his eyes were on Chu Qinghe, Lianxing's starry eyes lit up instantly.
For Lianxing, what makes her happy when she is with Chu Qinghe is being able to look at Chu Qinghe's handsome face all the time, which seems to have grown out of her aesthetics.
The happiest thing was that during the process of appreciation, Lianxing was able to capture the kind of heart-pounding scene from Chu Qinghe.
Just like it is now.
Looking at Chu Qinghe, whose face was looking more focused and serious while he was deep in thought, Lianxing almost glued his eyes to Chu Qinghe's face. He obviously didn't drink, but he had a kind of feeling. The feeling of intoxication.
"No way~ My brother-in-law looks so sexy now~"
However, just as Lianxing was immersed in Chu Qinghe's beauty, a voice suddenly sounded in Lianxing's ears.
"Second sister, I still don't know what you think about Qinghe, right?"
It was also at the moment when this sound rang in his ears that Lian Xing's body immediately trembled, and the amplitude of his body shaking was particularly obvious.
Then he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Jellyfish Yinji.
And when his eyes moved to Jellyfish Yinji, Lianxing's heart skipped a beat when he saw the half-smiling expression on Jellyfish Yinji.
"Oops, exposed."
In an instant, Lianxing's peaceful mood just now became chaotic.
But the next second, Lian Xing reacted with the same true energy and said, "What do you mean by Sister Situ's words?"
Seeing that Lianxing was still pretending to be confused, Jellyfish Yinji chuckled in her heart and felt certain in her heart.
"Very good, this silly girl really doesn't know yet that the second sister has discovered her feelings for Qinghe."
Thinking about it, a smile appeared in Jellyfish Yin Ji's eyes, and a soft voice sounded in Lian Xing's ears as her true energy flowed.
"Sister Lianxing, do you think I'm blind? Will you not be able to see your feelings for Qinghe these days?"
At this time, Lianxing, who came back to his senses, thought for a moment and said, "Sister Situ, don't talk nonsense. He is Lianxing's brother-in-law. How could Lianxing have thoughts about her brother-in-law?"
Taking Lian Xing's reply into her eyes, a smile appeared in Jellyfish Yin Ji's eyes.
Immediately, he continued to transmit the message: "Hey~ Did you think wrong? Seeing Sister Lianxing's attitude towards Qinghe recently, I thought you were also attracted to Qinghe, and you were thinking of helping Sister Lianxing to make a match, but now it seems that you are not. I’m overthinking it.”
And when the words "Jellyfish Yinji" rang in Lianxing's ears, Lianxing's whole body trembled slightly.
Then, in the sight of Jellyfish Yinji, Lianxing looked at Jellyfish Yinji with wide eyes, filled with astonishment.
It was as if she didn't expect Jellyfish Yin Ji to say such a thing.
Here, seeing Lian Xing's expression and reaction in his eyes, Jellyfish Yinji let out a light sigh in her heart.
"This reaction, could it be said that I was really wrong?"
However, just when Jellyfish Yinji couldn't help but wonder if her previous judgment about Lian Xing was wrong, a sound suddenly rang in Jellyfish Yinji's ears.
"Sister Situ, are you serious?"
There was one part surprise, two parts surprise, three parts apprehension, and four parts doubt in the voice.
The moment the voice hit her ears, Jellyfish Yinji couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile on her face.
"Sure enough, I can't stand it after one hook."
While laughing secretly in her heart, Jellyfish Yinji replied: "Of course."
After hearing these words, Lianxing's eyes lit up.
However, before Lianxing could think more, the voice of Jellyfish Yinji came to Lianxing's ears again.
"Does the second sister know that you are attracted to Qinghe?"
Hearing this, the expression on Lianxing's face froze instantly.
Then he shook his head and signaled.
Seeing Lianxing's shaking head, Jellyfish Yinji chuckled in her heart. When she looked at Lianxing, she felt that there were three words "silly girl" on Lianxing's smooth forehead.
Although the smile in her heart grew stronger, Jellyfish Yin Ji's face showed a bit of confusion.
Even the tone of the next message contained a bit of difficulty.
"You really don't know? This will cause trouble."
Perhaps it was already talked about now. At this time, Lianxing did not hide it anymore. She sighed softly and said, "Yes! Sister doesn't know yet. If she knew, I'm afraid she wouldn't agree to my brother-in-law and me being together." together!"
Taking Lian Xing's melancholy and uneasy look into his eyes, Jellyfish Yin Ji said: "Yes! This is the second sister's temperament. If the second sister knew that you also fell in love with Qinghe, I'm afraid she wouldn't let it go easily. .”
Lian Xing sighed: "Yes!"
As he spoke, Lianxing felt melancholy in his heart.
"My sister also knows that her sister is difficult to deal with, but who makes her brother-in-law so nice?"
Who can understand the difficulties of being a sister?
However, before Lianxing could think more, the voice of Jellyfish Yinji came to Lianxing's ears.
"So if we want to bring you and Qinghe together, we must not let the second sister know about this process. I will talk to the second sister when I have a chance later."
After hearing these words, Lianxing suddenly felt happy, "Really?"
But the next second, Lian Xing keenly felt something was wrong, and immediately looked at Jellyfish Yin Ji suspiciously: "Why would Sister Situ help me like this?"
"Tsk tsk!"
When it comes to my heart, I call her "Sister", and when it feels wrong, I call her "Sister Situ".
Faced with Lian Xing's change, Jellyfish Yinji secretly shook her head.
Compared to himself, Lian Xing was clearly unable to keep his composure at this time, and his reaction was too obvious.
With her mind spinning, Jellyfish Yinji lowered Lianxing's danger level by one level and at the same time said through her voice: "Because, I saw the original me from you."
"Um?"
Facing what Jellyfish Yinji said, Lianxing was startled for a moment.
After Jellyfish Yinji slowly told Lianxing how she had concealed the truth and stole the house under Yaoyue's guard, Jellyfish Yinji looked at Lianxing and said, "So, I can certainly understand how you feel."
After learning about Jellyfish Yinji's history of stealing from the family, Lianxing suddenly felt enlightened.
When he learned that Jellyfish Yinji only wanted to hold an umbrella for her because she had been caught in the rain, Lianxing was both happy and touched at the same time.
It even felt like the relationship between myself and Jellyfish Yinji suddenly became much closer.
So caring, at this moment, for some reason, Lianxing felt sisterly love from Jellyfish Yinji, and it was like a kiss.
At the same time, feeling the movements of Lian Xing and Jellyfish Yin Ji, whose zhen qi was coming and going one after another, which was obviously transmitting sound with their zhen qi, Chu Qinghe, who came back to his senses, couldn't help but turn his head and look at the two women one after another.
When looking at the intimate and warm smiles of the two women, Chu Qinghe felt suspicious.
"What are you two girls doing?"
