After a long time, Rong Ye regained her composure. She waved her spiritual power in her hand, and the pieces of paper disappeared into the air.
She looked at the ink stains on her hands with unfinished thoughts and said, "Invite guests into the palace!"
The moment she finished speaking, all 12 doors in the Hundu Flower House were opened, and dazzling golden light shone out from inside.
Rong Ye dissipated into smoke again and left, and at this time, the boat at Xiaochen's feet also docked unknowingly.
Xiaochen stood up without hesitation and planned to go over.
"Master Xiao, Ling'er can't accompany you in the next journey! You have to work hard!" Ling'er looked at Xiao Chen who was about to walk ashore, her mouth softened, and she waved her hands in goodbye.
Xiaochen won the first round in the first round, and then she was free. Freedom came so quickly, which made her feel a little uneasy.
She felt that she had not helped Xiaochen, but had been causing trouble, so she felt a little guilty, but then she thought: "It's good to be free. I can finally get rid of the shackles of more than ten years, even if she hasn't thought about it yet." where."
But the ghost realm is so big, there will always be a place for her.
Ling'er's words fell into Xiaochen's ears. He looked back and saw that her shaking hand seemed to be in a weird posture, as if she was deliberately putting away her thumb. Xiaochen's eyes immediately froze, and then he looked at her. With a very normal expression, he nodded slightly after regaining consciousness and said: "Miss Ling'er, goodbye."
"What does this gesture mean?" Xiaochen was naturally thinking about this question. Did he want to tell him that there were four levels in total? Or is it simply a personal habit.
Putting away his thoughts, Xiaochen walked to the stone bricks and looked at the golden light in front of the door. He must have guessed that the second level was inside the house.
More than a thousand people moved forward in twos, threes, or in groups, and soon they filed in.
Walking into the hall under the golden light, the beautiful view of the flower tower and various pavilions appeared in front of everyone, and there were already many women in the house, beautifully dressed and well-dressed, chatting with each other, as if they never cared about the people coming in from outside the door. Generally, they just mind their own business and do their own thing.
Xiaochen looked up and saw that the bright white moonlight and red lights seemed to be vaguely visible outside the door in the distance. Everything in front of him seemed to be in an extremely prosperous place of fireworks.
This time, the environment in the house was quite normal, and there were no ghosts. But Xiaochen felt a chill in his heart when he looked at the brothel girls who were doing their own thing. They were the most abnormal ones in the house.
Most of the people who entered the house gathered in the outer hall at this time, and many people huddled behind with extremely fearful eyes. Obviously, the situation inside the house was far more dangerous than what they saw.
And Rong Ye also appeared again at the door of the corridor between the outer hall and the inner hall. Her appearance focused everyone's attention.
Twisting his slender waist slightly, Rong Ye said with charm: "This is the second level. There are three thousand beauties in the flower house. They are talking about the husband in their hearts. As a brothel woman, the beauty in her heart is My biggest dream... I just hope to have a sweetheart who can redeem her and escape her suffering."
Rong Ye said, and with a wave of spiritual energy in his hand, a wooden plaque engraved with the flower pattern appeared in everyone's hands.
Before Xiaochen could take a closer look, Rong Ye continued: "But, how many people can be so lucky?"
"The fate of all this is in your hands. You have three pieces of information about women in your hands. What the guests have to do is to find the girl you have promised among these three thousand people and bring it out, and you will pass."
"Also, the clues in everyone's hands are a girl's most important secrets, so you can't just show them to others!"
As soon as these words came out, some of the people present immediately changed their expressions and became frightened. Then they found that the words on their wooden signs had all changed to the same sentence.
"You are so cruel! You lied to me!!"
These words made Zhang Qi tremble all over. He suddenly looked terrified inside the room, turned around hurriedly, and ran towards the door without looking back.
There were dozens of the same people. When they stepped out of the door, they were no longer seen. The twelve doors slowly closed automatically. There was no movement outside the door, except for those people who had been standing there. There was no space, and they just disappeared completely.
The few people who read their clues also looked horrified and looked behind them in shock.
Xiaochen's expression changed when he saw this. This killing move was too insidious, and he quickly covered the wooden sign in his hand.
Rong Ye stretched his body carelessly, smiled and said softly: "The Nu family has reduced the difficulty for you a lot. Remember, don't make mistakes, or ruin the fate, then she will be angry! "
"Of course! The sooner you start, the better. That's it for the slave family, please come!" After Rong Ye finished speaking, he stepped into the inner hall first.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one stepped in until Rong Ye left for a while.
For a while, Xiaochen pondered: "From the words of Rong Ye in front of me, we can know that the price of finding fault must be very serious."
"The top priority is to look at those three clues first."
Thinking of this, Xiaochen glanced around, found a small corner, carefully turned over the wooden sign, and three lines of words appeared in front of him:
"Crossing thousands of mountains and rivers"
"Under the moon, Yaotai determines life"
"The Red Pavilion sighs of farewell all night"
After reading it, Xiaochen thought about the verbs and nouns in it, and then thought of the scene just now.
"It can be seen from the dozen or so people that they all seemed to have seen some horrific scene before they panicked and fled, but they disappeared outside."
"So there are currently two rules that cannot be touched. The first one is that the information on the wooden sign cannot be told to the uncertain mortal woman, and the information cannot be revealed to the other guests."
"The second rule is, don't find the wrong person!"
"If you think about it carefully, there may be a third one, that is, there is danger outside the door!"
Thinking like this, cold sweat began to drip from Xiaochen's calm face. It was indeed quite difficult to find one among the three thousand, so he had to be prepared.
He glanced around and found that most of the people looked gloomy and frightened, so he looked away. At this time, many people also stepped into the inner hall.
Xiaochen also took steps, trying to keep up, but just after taking a few steps, his steps suddenly stagnated, and he suddenly thought of something.
"Ling'er finally gave me the number four, and I only have three clues in my hand now. Does that mean there is another clue that I don't know about!"
Thinking like this, Xiaochen still decided to keep a cautious eye first.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he found no more results. He felt that it was useless to think too much, so he still had to go inside to look for clues.
Rubbing his brows, Xiaochen walked through the corridor. The people talking and laughing in the inner hall seemed to exist in another space. They did not pay any attention to the new guests. Among Xiaochen and his group, there were already Some started chatting with the women in the flower-filled building.
But Xiaochen couldn't hear their conversation!
Xiaochen deliberately walked into a place where two people were talking, and saw that their mouths moved, but there was no sound. Looking at their faces, the expressions were as if they were talking normally.
After paying attention for a moment, he didn't notice anything, so Xiaochen had no choice but to frown and continue walking forward.
At this time.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl leaning on the table complained: "My family has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since they were eight years old. I didn't expect that I wouldn't use it much now. Those men are really... too impatient..."
The older-looking woman opposite her then said, "Yes, some people are just like... who always make excessive demands."
"My hand in playing the piano is as good as Bai's." Xiu'er continued.
Luo Er glanced at her delicate little hands and said: "...I don't know when someone will show up to redeem me. I will definitely serve him well..."
Xiu'er also said with admiration: "Yes, I have always dreamed of having such a young master."
Xiaochen was also attracted by their words and leaned over. He was just about to hear the follow-up, but saw that the two women stopped talking and looked towards the center of the inner hall, where there was an arena for the women from the mortal world to express their talents. The small stage, now that stage is empty.
After coughing, Xiaochen sat on the chair, looked at the two of them and asked, "I wonder what kind of person the young master the girl mentioned would be like?"
Xiu'er turned to look at Xiaochen and said with a bit of surprise: "I like the young master, he is handsome. It would be great if he could be rich and wealthy!"
She looked at the man in front of her and saw that although he was dressed in simple white clothes, his clothes were clean and had few wrinkles. He did not look like a poor man. And the man's face made her heart skip a beat. Then she quickly said: "Qinqi, calligraphy and painting" I can play both pipa and jade flute, sir, can you redeem me and let me go?"
"As long as three hundred taels of silver, Xiu'er will serve you with all your heart."
After hearing this, Xiaochen turned his gaze away slightly. His face was calm and he did not give an answer. He just looked away slightly and looked at Luo Er. This place is a ghost place. Naturally, he would not give an answer at will. At this time, he just wanted to Listening to another woman's reply.
Seeing this, Xiu'er's eyes dimmed, biting her lip and looking pitiful.
Luo Er glanced at Xiao Chen and saw that he was dressed as a knight-errant, but there was no gold or jade embellishment on his body, so he said with some snobbery: "I don't like young people, most of them are heartless people who just run away after playing. But if the young master doesn’t have an appointment tonight and is willing to spend some money on drinks, the slave family will naturally be willing.”
"But to redeem one's life...it will cost a lot of silver..." As she said this, she shook her head slightly towards Xiaochen.
"She thought both inside and outside of her words that young people would not redeem women from brothels. She just felt that those young people were just trying things out." After hearing this, Xiaochen frowned and thought.
After finishing speaking, Luo Er said with great expectation: "It would be great if he could be like Mr. Zhang, who has a lot of his own property even when he is still young."
"Are you talking about Mr. Zhang who redeemed You'er some time ago? No, he should be called Mr. Zhang!" Xiu'er added with interest. She couldn't help but look envious when she mentioned this You'er.
"Master Zhang..." Xiao Chen wrote down this name. This was a man who ransomed women from brothels. He might have clues.
After that, he had no room to interrupt, and the two people chatted endlessly about Mr. Zhang.
"A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, although she is in a brothel, still likes handsome men. A woman who looks about twenty years old likes men who are rich and calm." Xiaochen thought and looked at himself. His face was still his own, unchanged.
Xiaochen stood up and continued walking inside. He wanted to find an older woman, preferably someone who was extremely familiar with the architecture of the brothel, so that he could ask where the Yuexia Yaotai and the Red Pavilion were among the three clues.
On the way, I heard some news.
"Have you heard? Shigui is coming to ransom our number one Qing'er!"
"Last time I heard my mother say that it costs three thousand taels of silver to redeem a young child!"
"Qing'er is so lucky! Alas... I'm afraid no one will want me even if I'm old and young."
Listening to the rumors, Xiaochen muttered: "Qing'er?"
Soon, Xiao Chen found the target he was looking for. It was a woman sitting alone on a remote chair. Judging from her appearance, she must be over 40 years old. It was obvious that she was no longer liked by most of the customers, and the location where she stayed was not good. It is relatively remote. Among the women Xiaochen has seen so far, there are mostly young women, and there are only a few people of her age.
Seeing Xiaochen approaching, Chen Niang seemed a little panicked and stood up in a hurry, fearing that she might ruin the young master's mood.
Immediately, Xiaochen called out to her: "This...woman, wait a moment!"
After hearing this, Chen Niang stopped honestly, glanced at Xiaochen's face secretly, lowered her head and said, "Young Master, what do you want with me?"
Although she hesitated, she still said: "I am sick and can no longer receive guests. I am afraid that it will disturb the young master's interest."
Xiaochen was stunned after hearing this, sighed and said, "I'm looking for you because I want to ask you something, but I don't know your name."
"Chen Niang." The woman said respectfully after hearing Xiaochen's words.
"Mother Chen, do you know where the Yuexia Yaotai is in this building?" Xiao Chen tried his best to speak softly, after all, the person in front of him was a poor man.
She seemed to be stunned after hearing this, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses and said, "Sir, there is no Yuexia Yaotai in the building, only the stage."
Xiaochen asked: "Is this so?"
"Yes."
Chen Niang seemed very nervous, perhaps because she had not communicated with others on an equal footing for a long time, which made her seem a little embarrassed.
Xiao Chen frowned and thought: "Could the Yaotai under the Moon be a stage? The woman in front of me has obviously been living in Huamanlou for many years. If she doesn't even know about it, forget it, I'll go to the stage later. have a look..."
The young master didn't speak for a long time before they met. Chen Niang raised her head and glanced at him doubtfully. Seeing that he was still deep in thought, she quickly lowered her head.
"Does Chen Niang know this place called Hongge?" Xiaochen asked again.
After hearing this, she smiled sheepishly and said, "Young Master is joking. The Red Pavilion is a place for guests to rest in the building. There are three thousand red pavilions in the building. I don't know which one you are looking for." ?”
