Moon Song City, Red Silk Garden.

Ling Ying ignored the beautifully dressed beauties at the door, only frowned slightly, and walked straight to the bead curtain in front of the door, Li Zhou and Yunxiao followed closely behind him. The three of them were still wearing swords, except for Yunxiao's blushing a little, Ling Ying and Li Zhou's faces looked a little gloomy, and they looked extremely uncomfortable with the environment here.

This "Red Silk Garden" is one of the several landmark buildings of the Moon Song City, occupies half of the flower street and willow lane, the scale is very large, you can hear the song every day outside, and you can smell the fragrance in the inside. This is not a wine shop, nor a music shop, but a green building. Here is red and willow green, filled with bursts of floral fragrance, as well as the fragrance of fat powder from the daughter's house. The fat fans who come here to look for flowers and willows are either rich people, dignitaries, or wanderers and green forest rangers.

It is said that the Oiran in this red silk garden can be described as a peerless elegance, 10,000 people are amazing, ordinary people want to see a feast for their eyes, it is simply whimsical; even if you are a prince and grandson, or a famous literati and writer, if you can't bear to feel distressed and spend a lot of money, I'm afraid that even if it is the Year of the Monkey, you can't even line up for one.

This Oiran has lived on the top floor of the Red Silk Garden for many years, and has never revealed his true face publicly. It is rumored that she is the real person in charge behind the scenes of this green building, and the old bustards in the building who seem to be commanding and vigorous on weekdays are actually her subordinates.

In addition to this mysterious Oiran, there is also a beauty coveted by countless fat fans in the Red Silk Garden, but she is not a fireworks woman, but the head of the Red Silk Garden, called "Flower Ruyi". If there is really the kind of guest who wants to have a kiss with the Oiran girl and is willing to spend a lot of money, he must first pass the level of the flower manager. If you don't get into the eyes of this chief steward, like those who look crooked and crack dates, or behave rudely, they will spend a thousand taels of gold and silver in vain, not to mention, they will be severely beaten, and then thrown out of the red silk garden, and lose face.

If you are lucky enough to pass this level of the head manager, Hua Ruyi will hand the guest a gold-inlaid peony, and the guest will hold this flower to the top floor of the "Do not disturb the pavilion", but also be blindfolded and brought in, let the Oiran look at it, the agreeable can remove the blindfold to leave, and the undesirable still have to leave. If there is a stubborn one, then don't blame the flower manager for throwing you off the top floor!

"Ling Ying, what are we doing in this kind of place?!" Yunxiao has grown so big, he has even seen the corpse mountain and sea of blood in the Liaoyuan family, but he has never seen the situation of this dusty place, and the red on his face has not faded from the moment he came in until now.

Ling Ying and Li Zhou glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but smile bitterly. They swore to heaven that if it weren't for the fact that the address passed to them by the informant lurking in Moon Song City in the sect was here, they would never visit a place like Qinglou in their lives. Usually at this time, they will miss Lin Xiao very much - usually with him by his side, such skinless and faceless things are handed over to people like him whose skin thickness is comparable to the city wall to do!

The old bustard in the Red Silk Garden saw that Ling Ying and the three of them were holding swords, with unkind intentions, and at a glance they knew that they were not here to have fun, but to catch traitors or seek revenge. But this old bustard has been in the Red Silk Garden for many years, but he has never seen anyone come here to make trouble and then not go out sideways, so he is more confident, and he came forward and asked: "Three young heroes, may I ask if you have a crush on the girl in our building, as long as you open your mouth, my mother and I will help you arrange it." ”

Yunxiao listened to the old bustard's words full of frivolity, and couldn't help but get angry, but was held down by Li Zhou. Ling Ying took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "I don't know if Miss Qinchuan is here?" ”

Kotogawa is the name of the Oiran of the Red Silk Garden.

Ling Ying's words were not loud, but there were so many fat fans coming and going in the Red Silk Garden, and there were always one or two with pointed ears. I don't know who shouted first: "Look, these three want to find the Qinchuan girl!" For a while, the entire people on the first floor surrounded and pointed at Ling Ying and the three of them:

"These three people seem to be from the rivers and lakes. ”

"Visiting the Qinglou, why did you bring a girl, it's really funny!"

"Those two young men look dressed up seriously, but I can't imagine that they are also very merry in their hearts!"

"It's just a pipe dream!"

When the old bustard heard that Ling Ying was looking for an oiran, he squinted his eyes and looked them up and down, and suddenly sneered, and said with contempt in his tone: "Young man, I'm afraid you don't know my rules here. I didn't offer three or five thousand taels of gold and silver first, but I wanted to see our Qinchuan girl, where in the world is there such a cheap thing!"

Ling Ying said: "Three or five thousand taels of gold and silver, there is no one below." I beg you to tell the Qinchuan girl, and say that the people in the Kunlun Mountains are visiting, and she will naturally know. ”

Unexpectedly, the old bustard's face was even more contemptuous, and his words began to become unkind: "I don't care where you come from, rules are rules." There are more people like you who are looking for all kinds of excuses to see our red silk oiran, and the old lady has been a mother here for so many years, what kind of goods have you never seen? If you don't have a meeting gift, then get out of here!" The people around also helped to coax together.

Ling Ying was extremely well cultivated, and even though the old bustard was foul language, there was still no sign of annoyance, while Li Zhou thought that the scolding skills of these guys were far worse than Lin Xiao's, and he didn't take those swear words in his ears without pain or itching.

Yunxiao is not so good-tempered, she has been extremely annoyed by the old bustard's yin and yang weird tone before, and now listening to her foul language, she is even more angry. immediately rushed forward, and waved his hand very quickly, the old bustard didn't even have time to react, only heard a loud "pop", half of his cheeks instantly swollen, and he was already slapped by Yunxiao.

The old bustard covered her face, the corners of her mouth had been broken, and a trace of blood flowed out, she twisted her cheeks a few times, opened her mouth and spit out a bloody tooth, and shouted in shock and anger: "You little prodigal hooves with mothers and mothers, you dare to ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Yunxiao had already slapped her three times in a row, and each time the palm went down, there were five more bright red finger prints on the old bustard's face, and the face was swollen higher and higher, and in the end, it was so swollen that it was almost impossible to see the eyes.

After Yunxiao slapped four times, his anger did not subside, and he directly reached out and grabbed the old bustard's fingers, and twisted it vigorously, so painful that the old bustard ghost cried wolf howl, tears flowed, and the originally red and swollen face became blue and white again at the moment, and it looked as ugly as it looked.

"Who gave birth to this girl, who raised her, and is it also something that you can talk about as a bitch who is nesting in the kiln and doing indiscriminate things?!" Yunxiao sneered, and blurted out expletives, causing Ling Ying and Li Zhou to look sideways at her for a while. The two glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts: "This is Lin Xiao's body...... I didn't see that this senior sister, who always looks like a lady on weekdays, really scolded people, she was so vicious!"

Yunxiao's hand was lucky, and the old bustard's fingers made a "click" sound, and the phalanges had been broken by her. The woman usually wears the name of the "flower manager" in the building, and she is sneering at anyone who disagrees, and she has never suffered this kind of suffering, and the pain is so painful that the whole person falls to the ground and almost faints.

Yunxiao stepped on the old bustard's face, and snorted coldly: "I thought you were so powerful, it turned out that you were also a soft bone that would eat pain!" Yu Bi let go of her fingers, and at the same time flew up with a kick, kicking the old bustard's head, kicking her whole person out, and pretending to raise her foot to pat, muttering: "This skin is really thick, and the kick makes my feet hurt!"

Yunxiao is not a ruthless person, but the fat powder in the red silk garden today made her very irritable, and she was annoyed that the old bustard was disrespectful, so she made a ruthless move. Although her kick was not attached to the true qi, it also used dark energy, and the old bustard was kicked by her and rolled out on the ground, until it rolled to the feet of a person before listening.

The old bustard raised her head, glanced up with her swollen eyes, immediately turned over, hugged the shin of the person in front of her, and began to howl with snot and tears: "Mr. Hua!

2.

Ling Ying and the three of them looked at the "flower manager" who came to them at some point - this woman's skin looked fair, as delicate as warm jade, the cherry mouth was red without dotting, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks hung down gently, adding a bit of seductive style. She was wearing a plain white gown, which looked spotless from beginning to end, and it could even be said that it was a little dazzling, which could also contrast a hint of blush on her face.

This woman in white is indeed a wonderful beauty, but the cold and shining soft sword in her hand, as well as the cold murderous aura clearly revealed between her eyebrows, are enough to make the fat fans present stand on end, and they don't dare to think anything wrong about her.

"Flower manager. Ling Ying said lightly, her tone as simple as if an old friend who hadn't seen each other for many years was greeting each other.

Hua Ruyi looked at Ling Ying, and suddenly raised her hand and shook it, and the soft sword in her hand trembled violently under the agitation of true qi. She jumped up from her height, and swung her sword with a move to "make a flute on the river", and the tip of the sword swallowed sword light, stabbing straight at Ling Ying's eyebrows.

Ling Ying shook his backhand behind him, and when he stretched out his hand again, he had already held the jade flute "Feixue" in his hand. He didn't do much to return the move, just simply held Feixue in his hand and pointed straight forward, faintly a move "Purple Qi from the East" starting style, and one end of the jade flute directly collided with the tip of the soft sword.

I only heard the sound of "Zheng", and the soft sword was against the jade flute, bent into an arc, and suddenly bounced away the next moment. At the same time, Hua Ruyi in mid-air swept backwards like a shock, returning to its original position, while Ling Ying had been standing in place from beginning to end, not even moving half a step.

This could only be regarded as a tie, but the onlookers exclaimed in unison, which surprised Ling Ying and them. What they didn't know was that there was a prohibition in this Red Silk Garden, which inhibited the operation of the true qi in the human body, and if they used the true qi to cast martial arts or spells here, the strength they could exert was only about one percent of their original strength.

This "weakening the prohibition" is similar to the "Sealing Array" in the Ghost City of Moon Song City, except that the former weakens the strength of others within the forbidden range, while the latter directly seals the true qi of those who enter the formation in the formation. Hua Ruyi has rune accessories on her body that are restrained and forbidden, so naturally she will not be weakened, which is also the main reason why no one can win Hua Ruyi in the Red Silk Garden.

And at the moment, Ling Ying, who only had one percent strength, easily drew with her, so how high his original strength was, you can imagine.

"This kid is young, and he actually has such strength!" The person next to him began to whisper, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that Mr. Hua has tied with someone else!"

Ling Ying listened to these words and secretly laughed in her heart. Except for him and Hua Ruyi, no third person knew - neither of them used their true qi when they made a move, it was just a simple touch, and then Hua Ruyi retreated back to the same place by himself. If it is a real fight, the winner is naturally undoubtedly her.

Hua Ruyi smiled slightly, and put away the soft sword in her hand—the sword was actually hidden between her belt. She bowed slightly to Ling Ying and the three of them under the surprised gaze of everyone and in an uproar, and then said indifferently, "Three upstairs, please." As he spoke, he turned and walked upstairs.

The old bustard didn't expect that the flower manager who usually protects his short life would turn a blind eye to his own people today as if he had changed his sex, and he actually treated the three defenseless wild boys and wild girls politely, and shouted at Hua Ruyi's back quite unwillingly: "Flower manager, they beat me like this, you can't ignore it!"

Hua Ruyi stopped, turned around slowly, looked coldly at the old bustard's swollen face like a pig's head after being slapped four times by Yunxiao, and suddenly said, "Come here." ”

The old bustard thought that the manager was finally going to find a place for her, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and at the same time squinted at the clouds, and secretly said in his heart: "Stinky girl, you dare to slap the old lady's face, after the chief manager restrains you, see how I scratch your face!"

Yunxiao thought that Hua Ruyi really wanted to protect the old bustard and shoot at him, so he couldn't help but have a sinking face, and pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword. Who knew that the old bustard had just come forward, and what was waiting for her was another resounding slap from Hua Ruyi!

The old bustard was afraid that he would give her another ten hundred heads, and he couldn't figure out why the chief steward did this to her. Hua Ruyi is not like the sky, taking into account the identity of the sect, although he is in anger, he is still measured. Her slap was attached to the true qi, and she directly tilted half of the old bustard's cheek, and the whole person turned over and fell down the stairs, listening to the loud sound of "bang", and estimated that her head hit the ground first, and she fainted on the spot.

The Red Silk Garden was suddenly silent, and those regulars were all dumbfounded, I don't know if this flower manager took the wrong medicine today, and he was so cruel to his own people!

Hua Ruyi glanced at the people downstairs expressionlessly, and said lightly: "What are you doing here?"

All the guests shivered coldly, and hurriedly dispersed their own birds and beasts, holding their girls back to the private room, and the private room.

3.

There are a total of five floors in the Red Silk Garden, and from the third floor onwards, it is the daily living place of the girls in the garden, and there is no one left. Hua Ruyi led Ling Ying and the three of them around a curtain, looked around to see that no one was there, and suddenly the whole person seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, his shoulders drooped, and when he turned his head again, he was already smiling like a flower, and Fang Cai's cold appearance was simply like two people, and Li Zhou and Yunxiao were surprised for a while.

I saw her smile at Ling Ying and said, "How is it, just ...... Didn't show any flaws, did you?"

Ling Ying smiled back and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years, your acting skills are good, it really impresses me!"

Yunxiao looked at Ling Ying and then at Hua Ruyi, and said confusedly, "What? So you know each other?!"

Ling Ying nodded: "When Lin Xiao and I went down the mountain to practice, we once saved the lives of two Xuanmen female cultivators, that is, the flower manager in front of you, and the 'No. 1 Oiran of Moon Song City' upstairs. Later, under the recommendation of Lin Xiao, they were developed into the eyes of the sect outside, and I also received their flying pigeon biography in recent days, only to know that they were hiding in the Moon Song City, under the guise of operating this red silk garden, but in fact, they were collecting information about the cultivation realm in the Qishan area. ”

Hua Ruyi smiled at Yunxiao Yingying, saluted, and said, "I've seen the eldest lady!" She and Qinchuan were rescued by Lin Xiao and Ling Ying, and respected the Ziyang Divine Sect, so Yunxiao, as the daughter of the head, was naturally a level higher than them-this is why she wanted to punish the old bustard in the first place.

Yunxiao was taken aback by her, and hurriedly complied: "Manager Hua doesn't have to be polite, you are not my subordinate, you don't have to call me like 'Miss' and 'Miss', just call me by my name." ”

"Okay, let's talk about any polite words when I have time to go back. Ling Ying said, "Didn't you say in the letter that you have clues about Lin Xiao and the remnant picture to report to us? Let's stop standing here, hurry up and go upstairs to find Miss Qinchuan first, don't let him wait too long." ”

"Lin Xiao?" Li Zhou frowned slightly, remembering the things he had discussed in the sect before, and couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart: "Did something happen to him in the process of searching for the remnant map?"

Hua Ruyi said: "This matter is a long story, let's go upstairs first and then talk about it in detail." As he spoke, he led Ling Ying and the three of them to continue walking to the top floor, and came to a room with a wooden sign on it, with five delicate words written in hairpin flower letters: "If you are not sincere, do not disturb the pavilion". At the same time, there were several melodious sounds in the room.

Hua Ruyi pushed the door in, leading Ling Ying and the three into an elegantly furnished room. Turning an ivory screen, I saw that behind the beaded curtain, there was a stove of sandalwood, a yaoqin, and a delicate beauty. I saw that the woman who played the piano was also wearing a plain white gown and long skirt, and several auspicious clouds were outlined with gold and silver threads on the cuffs, forming a cloud map, and the hem of the dress was embroidered with pale red lace, and the chest was a brocade bib, wrapping her plump jade/breasts.

Sensing that someone was coming, the beauty put down the yaoqin, stood up, turned her body slightly, her long skirt spread out like a wave, and then moved the lotus step lightly, lifted the bead curtain and walked out. I saw that she was combing her fringed hair, her beautiful face had delicate facial features, and under her thin willow eyebrows were a pair of smart eyes, like dotted red lips, and when she opened her mouth and exhaled softly, she faintly exuded a faint gardenia fragrance. Between her eyebrows was a blood-red manju sawa that made her look bewitching.

Ling Ying smiled slightly: "Qin Chuan, long time no see." ”

This Oiran called "Qinchuan" opened his lips lightly, and said with a slight smile: "If it weren't for something important to report to you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have stepped into my 'Red Silk Garden' for half a step in this life!"

Several people exchanged a few words of greeting, and then sat down. Ling Ying took a cup of fragrant tea handed over by Hua Ruyi, thanked him, took a simple sip, and said: "You suddenly flew a pigeon to pass a book to me, let me come to Qinchuan quickly, do you have Lin Xiao's whereabouts?"

Qin Chuan put down the teacup in his hand and said, "We have received the signal flare set off by Lin Xiao." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ling Ying and the three couldn't help but be surprised: Lin Xiao released a signal flare, that is the meaning of asking for help-could it be that he is already in danger?! Thinking of this, Yunxiao hurriedly asked, "When did this happen?"

Hua Ruyi replied: "Just yesterday, probably around the end of the declaration. ”

Ling Ying couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this: "But I received your letter a few days ago. ”

"I know that. Qin Chuan said, "At that time, I sent a message to you to tell you that Lin Xiao appeared in this Moon Song City. Later, not long after my letter was sent, he left here and entered Qishan. We were still wondering if he would go after passing Qishan and where he went, but we received his signal flare just yesterday, and the direction should be at the foot of Qishan. ”

"Have you met with him?"

"No, we're just watching him secretly to make sure he's not doing anything outsider, so he doesn't know we're here. ”

"Then what is he doing in Moon Song City?"

"He came to Yuege City for about three or five days, and he also had contacts with the people of Shangqing Daomen in the middle, and they went to the ghost market together, and we don't know what happened after entering the ghost market. ”

After Ling Ying heard this, he was silent.

Hua Ruyi suddenly said: "By the way, just talking about outsiders, I want to ask you - do you know that Lin Xiao has been acting with a woman all the way, looking at that girl's skills, she should be a person from the Demon Sect's 'Dark Fragrance'." ”

Ling Ying and the three of them all looked at each other, and they couldn't help but think of what Yun Ya said before they left: "According to the reported news, Lin Xiao also has a mysterious woman by his side. This woman appeared after Lin Xiao left the Innocent Family Mansion, and has been following him ever since. I need you to keep an eye on this unknown woman to avoid any mistakes in the future. ”

"This woman...... Is it called 'Ye Xin'?" Ling Ying asked with bated breath as he remembered the name Yun Ya had said.

Qin Chuan's face suddenly showed an inexplicable smile, and said: "We don't know what the girl's name is, we only know that Lin Xiao goes in and out with her every day, no matter where she goes, it's as intimate as a young couple...... Oh, by the way, when Lin Xiao left Moon Song City and entered Qishan, the girl was still with him. ”

"Dark incense?" Li Zhou snorted coldly, "What kind of good thing can a woman from the Demon Sect be?" Lin Xiao has been with her all day long, I'm afraid she hasn't been used by bewitchment!"

Yunxiao shook his head: "I don't think so. The two elder sisters could see that the woman was from the Demon Sect, and he could definitely see that Lin Xiao could also see it. I guess the reason why he acted with the woman must have been out of some special consideration. ”

Ling Ying said: "Anyway, no matter what now, we have to go to Qishan and find Lin Xiao and the remnant map." As for other news about the woman, please help us inquire about it. Saying that, he bowed to Qinchuan and Hua Ruyi.

Qin Chuan returned the courtesy: "Don't worry, leave the matter of finding out the news to us." Another thing is ,—— the two of us accidentally discovered that during the time that Lin Xiao was in Moon Song City and on the way to Qishan, there was always a person secretly following and monitoring them. ”

Ling Ying was immediately alert: "Who?!"

"If I'm not mistaken...... Hua Ruyi took a sip of the tea in the cup, and then said in a deep voice, "...... It should be the son of the character in the Heavenly City-'Leaving the Human Knife' Ye Wulu!"
