Chapter 31: The Underground Demon Pavilion

Jiang Yao looked at the address on the note in his hand, and then glanced up at the big "World Nightclub" signboard at the entrance of the store in front of him, and there were almost 10,000 crows flying in his heart.

The ambiguous neon lights reflected the misty night, and the men and women with excitement and slightly drunkenness went in and out of this luxurious building, while Jiang Yao, who hesitated at the gate, became a conspicuous outlier, constantly being looked at by all kinds of eyes.

"As long as you can go to this place and borrow the 'thing' I designated within one day, I will take you to find Zhou Wenhai's remnant soul. 』

Jiang Yao remembered the ill-intentioned look when he handed him the note, and he was basically sure that he had fallen into the pit, and although the place he was asked to go to on the note was clearly called "Baoyan Pavilion", but the address was this "World Nightclub", Jiang Yao even doubted whether he had been tricked.

Could it be that "Baoyan Pavilion" is another name for this nightclub? But "that thing"...... Is it really possible to be in such a place?

Jiang Yao secretly scolded himself, hesitating at the door of the nightclub whether to go in, but at this time, he heard a coquettish female voice suddenly sounding from his side:

"Yo~ This little handsome guy is so good-looking, is it the first time to come?Why don't you come in and sit down~"

A gust of pink fragrance came to his face, Jiang Yao looked up, but saw two sexy and bewitching beauties standing in front of him, glaring at him.

"Ah...... No, I ......"

Jiang Yao's gaze swept over the other party's Fengyun body wrapped in a few thin pieces of fabric, as well as the pair of snow-white "jade balls" that were about to come out and get closer and closer to him, his cheeks couldn't help but be slightly hot, and he looked away a little embarrassed, and such a reaction seemed to have been expected by these two beauties, only to see the two quickly glance at each other, and then one person grabbed Jiang Yao with one arm, and before Jiang Yao could react, he was "abducted" into the nightclub door without saying anything.

"Hey, wait, wait, that ...... I'm actually looking for ......."

"Come to have fun~I understand~ Tonight, my sisters will definitely let you have fun~No~Si~Shu~" A beautiful woman said, quietly glancing at one of the attendants in the lobby, who immediately understood and hurriedly began to beckon someone to send Jiang Yao to the box.

"Wait a minute, my sister will open a bottle of wine for you first, let's drink and dance~ Have an all-nighter, how about it?" The beauties said with a smile, but their eyes quietly probed Jiang Yao's appearance that was like a human dog, and counted the catties of silver in his pocket;

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sister, to tell you the truth, I'm unemployed, and I really don't have any money. Jiang Yao pretended to be helpless, looked at the smiling face that gradually pulled down on the other side and said. "I'm here to find a place for the 'Baoyan Pavilion', do you know where it is?"

"Hmph, it's still 'Baoyan' Pavilion, when this is a university school?" the beauty rolled her eyes, and turning her face was faster than turning a book. "The poor ghost is still here, what are you doing...... Get out of here!"

Saying that, with a wave of the two beauties' jade hands, several fierce and vicious bodyguards immediately surrounded him, and Jiang Yao knew that he couldn't talk anymore, so he could only leave first, and then find a way to inquire about the news. However, just as he was about to walk out of the door, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure walking out of the corner of the freight elevator, and when he looked closely, he found that the figure was actually the one he had seen not long ago, and he had followed him for a few streets - the white pheasant.

"You, ...... you?" Jiang Yao stared at the tall girl who was holding a bag of things and jumping out of the freight elevator, and the latter finally found Jiang Yao surrounded by security guards, his face was startled at first, and then began to quickly redden.

"No...... Youβ€”Don't get me wrong...... I'm not, I'm not working here......" Bai Pheasant hurriedly explained, and then seemed to react, looking at Jiang Yao's eyes as if there were more layers of complexity. "Then again...... How did you come here......

"I ......"

"Hehe, it seems that there is some misunderstanding. Before Jiang Yao could speak, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly sounded, and I saw a man in a suit with a "lobby manager" name tag slowly walking out of the security guard, and Jiang Yao could see at a glance that this guy was a "non-human".

"This little brother is my guest, I'll arrange it. The man in the suit raised his hand to disperse the security guard, and then nodded slightly at Jiang Yao, signaling him to follow him, and although Jiang Yao didn't know what was happening, he could only follow the man into the corner of the freight elevator in this case. As for the white pheasant, he lowered his head on the side and stroked the earring in his left ear, as if he was entangled for a while, but finally turned around and returned to the freight elevator and stood beside Jiang Yao.

"Dingβ€”"

The door of the freight elevator slowly closed, and Jiang Yao felt that the elevator began to descend slowly, and at this time, the lobby manager in a suit and leather shoes finally opened his mouth again:

"You should be visiting Baoyan Pavilion for the first time, right? ”

"Hmm...... I was introduced. Jiang Yao nodded cautiously, not undoubted in his heart. "By the way, what kind of place is this 'Baoyan Pavilion'?"

"Hehe, you'll find out soon. The man in the suit looked at Jiang Yao's cautious expression, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then moved his gaze to the white pheasant who was holding the bag silently, and said gently: "Have you got all the things you want?"

"Hmm...... Pretty much...... Thanks to the help of the Pavilion Master. The white pheasant lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at Jiang Yao beside him.

"Hehe, since it's all done, why did you come back again?" the man in the suit asked with a smile as he looked at the white pheasant.

"This ...... The white pheasant ...... hesitated and glanced at Jiang Yao secretly, but quickly avoided his gaze. "I suddenly remembered that I missed something and didn't buy it......"

"Yes, hehe......" The man in the suit smiled in his heart, and stopped asking.

"Dingβ€”"

The long elevator finally came to the end, and when the elevator door opened, Jiang Yao only felt that the orange light flashed in front of him, he subconsciously turned his head, and when he adapted to the light and looked ahead again, he found that what appeared in front of him was actually the twilight sunset, nine curves of clear water, which was not at all like the expected underground space.

Above the clear water and lake, a classical nine-curved corridor stretches across it, and the lotus lanterns on the side of the corridor gently sway in the golden sunset with the breeze, and on the island in the middle of the lake at the end of the corridor, stands a magnificent and exquisite traditional Chinese building. Carved beams and painted buildings, eaves and arches, above the vermilion gate, there is a plaque with three golden characters written on "Baoyan Pavilion" uprightly, the whole building is magnificent, but it is also quite elegant and atmospheric, it is unforgettable.

"This is ...... 'Baoyan Pavilion'?"

Jiang Yao looked at the magnificent scene in front of him and was surprised, while the man in the suit who led the way didn't seem surprised by Jiang Yao's reaction, and said with a smile:

"As the premier treasure exchange in the Three Realms, the 'Baoyan Pavilion' is not only in the demon world, but even among the spirit envoys are also quite well-known, but the 'Baoyan Pavilion' is very strict on visitors, not everyone can come, for the living, you need an introducer to guide you to find the entrance, and our store is also one of the entrances. ”

"Will even the Spirit Envoys come here?"

"Yes, because in the 'Treasure Pavilion', you can buy a lot of rare and exotic treasures that cannot be found in the human world, and even ...... [Shikijin]. The man in the suit glanced at Jiang Yao meaningfully and said. "It's just that in order to get this, you have to pay a corresponding 'price', and these 'costs' are not necessarily money. ”

Can even Shikigami be bought and sold......?

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the 'thing' that the gluttony requested, and immediately understood the reason why the other party let him come here, but what made him worried was the so-called 'price', to be honest, even if it was money, he might not be able to get much.

"I can only send you here, if you are specific, you can go to the 'Baoyan Pavilion' to see it yourself, it just so happens that the white pheasant is also going, and she will tell you some rules." After the man in the suit finished speaking, he turned around and planned to walk back to the elevator, but as if he had thought of something, he suddenly paused at his feet, and looked back at Jiang Yao again.

"By the way, there's one more thing to warn you about. The man in the suit said, his expression seemed a little serious this time. "Try to keep a low profile in the 'Baoyan Pavilion', especially don't anger the pavilion master, this is also for your own good. ”

"Good...... I understand. Seeing that the other party was so serious, Jiang Yao couldn't help but nod seriously.

"Hehe, I hope you can find what you want, by the way...... Say hello to Gluttony and Lord Nine Teeth for me. ”

The man said, saluted Jiang Yao, and as the elevator door slowly closed, only Jiang Yao and the white pheasant were left on the Jiuqu corridor.

"That...... Ahem, I'm really sorry to follow you before, I don't mean anything. The white pheasant coughed lightly, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"It's okay...... It's just a misunderstanding. Listening to the other party's serious apology, Jiang Yao was a little embarrassed.

"Anyway...... This time, I'll take you around the pavilion, and I will make amends. The pheasant said, and then turned around and walked along the cloister towards the building on the island in the middle of the lake.

The blue lake reflects the golden sunset, and the strange and beautiful light is particularly strange in the surrounding scenery, but the strange thing is that there seems to be no trace of any fish in the lake, not even the common plants, the slightest cold air faintly reveals from the calm lake surface, even Jiang Yao standing on the bridge feels the cold, and he doesn't know what is going on in the lake.

Jiang Yao looked away from the lake, turned his head to look at the pretty figure in front of him, and suddenly realized that the girl was still carrying a heavy bag, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Shall I help you carry something?" Jiang Yao said and wanted to take the bag, but the white pheasant seemed to be a little unaccustomed to Jiang Yao's kindness, and hurriedly waved his hand sideways.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not heavy at all, I'll just hold it myself. ”

"Is it really okay?" Jiang Yao glanced at the bulging bag in the white pheasant's arms, and remembered what the other party said before, "Go back and prepare", and these things are probably the "trophies" that were bought back from the "Baoyan Pavilion" just now.

"These ...... Are they all prepared for this trip to the mountains?"

"Yes, the situation in the mountains is complicated, the scope is too large, and there are many potential dangers, so it is necessary for a little demon like me to make some basic preparations before exploring. The white pheasant said, quietly glancing at Jiang Yao beside him. "This time you...... Did the glutton-sama let you come here?"

"Yes, he wants me to get 'something' before I can follow him to the mountains. Jiang Yao's face was a little complicated, and he seemed to be unable to speak. "It's just that 'that thing' is really ...... Hey, I don't know if there's really a ...... in the 'Treasure Pavilion'."

"You can rest assured, the pavilion master of the 'Baoyan Pavilion' has vast magical powers, and the things in the pavilion are also all-inclusive, basically you can have everything you want, but the more precious the things, the higher the 'price'. The white pheasant said.

"That'...... What exactly is the 'price'?"

"It depends on the situation, some are money, some are other things, but more often it depends on the mood of the pavilion owner. ”

"Well, that's weird...... Who is that 'Pavilion Master'?" Jiang Yao remembered the warning of the man in the suit before, and was faintly curious.

"This ...... Actually, I don't know very well, because the pavilion master usually doesn't come forward in person, and almost everything is handled by the people below, but there are rumors that the pavilion master is a powerful figure who is also quite influential in the Three Realms. ”

As the white pheasant spoke, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Jiang Yao and asked:

"Then again, what are you looking for this time, ......?"

"Bang β€”β€”!"

Before the white pheasant could finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and when he looked up, he found a figure wrapped in flames flying out of the vermilion gate in front of him, and plunged into the middle of the lake.
