Chapter Twenty-Five: The City of the Woods

Tao Ziyi knew that the road ahead was long, and there was no end to Qingxu Mountain, so she didn't dare to spend the hundred or so old money, not to mention the potato given by the old man, so she didn't have anything to eat, but she smiled and said that she ate a bowl of noodles at a roadside stall when she entered the city, and sent her friends away.

Early the next morning, when Tao Ziyi checked out, she asked the shopkeeper if she knew where Qingxu Mountain was, and the shopkeeper didn't remember to hear about this place after thinking about it for a long time, so she had to shake her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't know the little one!" ”

Tao Ziyi was helpless, except for the inn, she came outside, this inn is relatively remote, and Tao Ziyi also found it after three crutches, which was what the old man told her before they broke up.

When she arrived at the main street with a lot of people, Tao Ziyi inquired about the location of Qingxu Mountain, but found nothing. Just as he was thinking about whether to ask others again, he came up to a somewhat charming old woman and said with a smile: "Little girl, I heard that you inquired about Qingxu Mountain?" ”

Tao Ziyi listened to the other party's Qingxu Mountain, and nodded a little excitedly: "Yes, yes, do you know, auntie?" ”

The old woman said with a smile, and lost a lot of rouge in the blink of an eye: "Of course I know, we have a convoy to go to Qingxu Mountain tomorrow, do you want to go with us?" ”

Tao Ziyi listened, first happy, and then said a little embarrassed: "But I have no money"

"It's okay, there aren't many of you alone, look at your girl's family, after inquiring for so long, my old woman is also kind-hearted, so I'll give you a ride!" Seeing Tao Ziyi readily agree, a trace of cunning and insidious flowed in the old woman's eyes.

Tao Ziyi followed the old woman to the west of the city without any suspicion. Because she was asking for help, Tao Ziyi didn't bother and patiently followed the old woman.

Not long after, in front of a two-story building, Tao Ziyi still knew a few words, after all, Tao Lao had also asked her to read and write in her previous life.

It is a very imposing old building, made entirely of wood. This is not surprising to Taoziyi, after all, the forest city is surrounded by mountains and forests, and it is not difficult to get such a two-story building.

On the lintel, there is a plaque with gold on a black background, with three big characters on it: 'Emerald Red Mansion'.

I followed the old woman into the building, at this time, because it was morning, the building was full of people dressed as little two, cleaning, inquiring widely, and when I raised my eyes, I could see the closed doors on the second floor. The old woman said to Tao Ziyi, "Wait here!" ”

Tao Ziyi didn't have any doubts, since she planned to rush with the old woman, she had to wait where she was.

Many Xiao Er lowered their heads to clean, and peeked at Tao Ziyi, and there was a trace of pity and amazement in their eyes. After all, Tao Ziyi is a demon plant, no matter whether she is a demon or a human now, that kind of beauty is incomparable.

Just when Tao Ziyi was still looking around, she saw the old woman walking out of it with two strong men, and she didn't know what the three of them would say again, and in a blink of an eye she was in front of Tao Ziyi, Tao Ziyi couldn't help frowning, just now outside, I didn't think that at this time in the house, Tao Ziyi smelled the irritating fragrance on the old woman's body, and I didn't know what kind of spice it was, anyway, Ling Tao Ziyi had a feeling of dizziness.

The old woman smiled and said, "These two are the heads of our fellow coachmen, you go with them to rest, and we will leave tomorrow!" ”

Tao Ziyi was a little panicked at this time, but when she saw that the two big men were tall and tall, she had to say: "Auntie, I think I'd better go and find it myself, so I won't bother you!" ”

Saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but the old woman glanced at the two big men beside her, grabbed two steps and blocked Tao Ziyi's way and said, "Don't bother!" ”

Tao Ziyi wanted to say something more, but she felt that the back of her neck was hit hard by something, and her head was dizzy, and she didn't know anything.

When she opened her eyes again, Tao Ziyi found that she was surrounded by walls made of stones, and she had fallen on top of a pile of straw, empty, and there was no one around. And there was a wooden door opposite him.

He shook his dizzy head and calmed down. Hearing the silence outside, I suddenly felt a little pitiful, thinking that I was also a demon plant that had just transformed, how could I be plotted by these mortals?

At this time, no matter how stupid she was, she thought that she had fallen into danger, although she didn't know what the other party was planning, but she also knew that the old woman had absolutely no good intentions.

However, she was even more alarmed, she remembered the fact that she was a demon, but she didn't have any spells and spiritual power, and she could still perform two tricks before she transformed into a shape, but now, she didn't have any ability to fight back, and she seemed to be a real mortal with flesh and blood, which made her quite puzzled, could it be that she had something wrong when she transformed?

"What to do, what to do?" Tao Ziyi stood up cautiously, came to the wooden door, listened with her ears sideways, there was no movement outside, through the gap in the wooden door, you could see that this was a backyard, and it was dark all around, and there was nothing. I tried pushing with my hand, and the door locked from the outside.

After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that the place where the old woman brought her was called Cuihong Building, these three words were muttered in her mouth, and she remembered coldly that people in the village often said that there are also such two-story buildings in Lvye City, and the names are all similar, not Cuiyun Pavilion, it is what Yanhualou, it is said that they are all brothels of Qinglou. But if a woman falls into this place, nothing good will end!

Thinking of this, Tao Ziyi couldn't help but have a cold war, wouldn't she fall into the Qinglou? Thinking of this, when she rushed outside, there was no one outside, she raised her foot and kicked at the wooden door violently, which was also her panicked, subconscious move, strange thing, the small wooden door was kicked directly by her. In addition to being surprised when he had this ability, he didn't have time to think about it, and he went out of the door lightly.

This is a small courtyard, with two main rooms, and what I am in is a firewood house, and the gate is eye-catching on the side of the small courtyard. Coincidentally, the door was open, obviously the old woman, careless, I didn't expect that she was such a little girl, she could run out, and there was not even a guard.

Tao Ziyi didn't have time to rejoice, except for the gate, she found a direction, and ran without looking back. Soon in addition to the small alley, it was the main street, which was not far from the Cuihong Building, and the Cuihong Mansion was brightly lit at this time. Tao Ziyi didn't look closely, and ran to the west gate with her feet.

Fortunately, the west gate was not closed, probably because the city never closed the gate. These Tao Ziyi didn't know, except for the city gate, they chose a direction and ran quickly.

After running for about half an hour, Tao Ziyi heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away, thinking that someone had found her running, so she came to catch up.
