There was a demon in the city, but not only was the city not closed at night, but it was more prosperous. The high-rise buildings are tied with ropes, and the ropes are full of lanterns, and when you look up, it seems that thousands of Kong Ming lanterns are floating in the sky over Licheng and cannot stop.

Under the lanterns, men and women frolicked in the streets. It's not summer yet, and the night is still a little cool, but the women of Licheng are already wearing tulle. The gold, silver and jade objects hung on the lotus root-like arms. Under this bright moonlight, there are some young women.

The bold ones get together and judge the good-looking sons. The timid ones stood aside with half shyness, and the ones who liked them stepped forward to face the two verses. There are also some women who drank some wine, hooked their shoulders with each other, and didn't even look at the men around them, and there were also people who were more presumptuous and gently kissed them on the face.

This kind of scene is like a fairy drunk by the Yao Pond, but it is a little more pyrotechnic than the Yao Pond.

It's not a beautiful view, but it's also not staggering. Because of Mount Tai, Licheng has been strict since ancient times. Women pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, and men must know how to be gentle and frugal. Even the Qinglou Music Workshop is a place where you only listen to music and drink, how can there ever be such a situation?

In front of the gate of the Laurel Courtyard is the most lively place in this city. A mile outside the Laurel Courtyard began to be covered with pink petals. A lantern at the end of the flower path was bright all night, so that the lanterns hanging in the air lost their color. Behind the lantern, a mile is also covered with flower petals. The shade on both sides of Hua Road shades the road, and the branches of the trees are covered with lanterns.

Behind the trees, there are two small lakes on the left and right, but they are extremely elegantly cultivated. Two rafts were made on each of the two small lakes. There was a krathong around the raft, and on one side of the raft was a woman in a light veil sitting. The breeze blew, blowing the scarf of the piano girl gently raised, and the forehead that fell in the center of her eyebrows floated gently with the scarf, lining her eyebrows and eyes with extra aura.

On the raft opposite was a dancing girl wearing only a short shirt and a veil. Her snow-white waist and abdomen were exposed, writhing like a willow with the sound of the piano. She didn't wipe her forehead, and lit a lot of flowers with cinnabar between her eyebrows, and when she danced, it was like a small cluster of flames beating in her forehead, and the original elegant piano sound was also dyed with some charm by the red of her eyebrows.

After passing the lantern and entering the Laurel Courtyard, it is better to enter a foreign land. The girls in the courtyard do not refuse to come, whether it is a guest officer, a son or a girl, they are all guests. These girls are even more fanciful, but they are not like ordinary brothels in Qinglou, everyone wants to please men. These girls are all dressed up by their own temperament. Some dressed as men, some wore masks, some wore wide-sleeved robes, and some wore only a gauze garment that half-exposed their belly pockets. In short, the ring fat swallow is different.

Another thing that is different from ordinary brothels is that these girls can choose their own male customers. If you meet someone you don't like to tease yourself, you can also slap it and let the surrounding guys drag it away.

It's really hard to understand who is a guest and who is a prostitute in this laurel courtyard.

In comparison, the men on the street look more ordinary. Those who looked amazed and their eyes widened were the first to come to Licheng, and those who were respectful to the women, or who spoke softly or praised them in poetry, were those who had been in Licheng for a long time.

Only Bai Luo and Yu Lei walked through the crowd with cold faces and walked straight into the Laurel Courtyard.

Along the way, although Yu Lei has won the favor of many girls, it seems that many girls are discouraged because of his cold face. But Bai Luo is different, although her face is colder, there are countless girls who come forward to talk to her, or throw a flower from the side of the road. If it weren't for Bai Luo's wind gust along the way, I am afraid that he would be buried alive by flowers.

As soon as Bai Luo walked past the Aodeng, the people on the flower road turned back one after another.

Miss Zhanyue has taken a fancy to someone today, and this matter has only spread in Licheng for half a day. Everyone was curious about what kind of fairy-like character made Miss Zhanyue fall in love. At this time, I saw that my appearance was really gorgeous, and I was worthy of the word fairy. The only thing is that this immortal is a little colder and a little fiercer.

The two girls on the raft of the small lake both stopped, looking at Bai Luo covering her mouth and smiling stupidly.

Half of the girls in this laurel courtyard have their eyes on Bai Luo, and the other half on Yu Lei. The girls didn't care about the people around them, and they all stood up and looked at the two. Those benefactors didn't dare to be annoyed when they were left out in the cold, so they could only let the girl hang herself. There were some newcomers who didn't understand the rules and wanted to scold a few words, but before they could open their mouths, they were surrounded by two vicious-looking people, and they couldn't pronounce half a syllable.

Yu Lei saw that dozens of pairs of eyes of the girl on the first floor fell on Bai Luo, and his heart was not full of taste.

Bai Luo walked into the Laurel Courtyard and took out the golden hairpin: "I think Miss Zhanyue lost something." ”

Miss Qing'er walked down from upstairs: "Not only Miss Zhanyue, I'm afraid Miss Yaoyue has also lost her soul." If it was usual, the two girls of this son Zhan Yue and Yaoyue were going to welcome guests, but now I am here to welcome guests, and the two of them are dressed up in the house. Qing'er stretched out her slender jade fingers and gently took the golden hairpin from Bai Luo's hand: "Just wait for the girl to bring the hairpin." ”

Qing'er's hand brushed over Bai Luo's palm, and Bai Luo's eyebrows sank. This young girl's hands were so cold that they didn't have any temperature at all. How can there be a "human" hand like this? But Ruoqing'er has no demonic spirit at all.

The word "strange ghost" suddenly came to Bai Luo's heart. This "strange ghost" is something outside the Three Realms, and Bai Luo can't tell what Qing'er has turned into a strange ghost for a while.

Bai Luo quietly withdrew his palm, and took the hairpin back: "Since you are waiting for me to bring the hairpin, then please ask the girl to lead the way." ”

Qing'er smiled: "Girl, please." ”

Qing'er led Bai Luo and Yu Lei to the attic. As soon as Qing'er turned around, she saw Zhou Gongzi following stupidly and almost bumped into Bai Luo. Qing'er looked at Zhou Gongzi with some anger: "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Gongzi looked at Qing'er stupidly: "I don't see you for a day, like every three autumns." ”

When such love words come out of the mouth of an idiot, they will make the listener feel uncomfortable. But Qing'er seemed to be very useful, and even covered her mouth and laughed.

Qing'er poked Zhou Gongzi on the forehead: "You are obedient, you are waiting for me here." ”

Zhou Gongzi nodded obediently. Qing'er turned around and walked two steps, then turned back to Zhou Gongzi and added, "Kneel and wait." ”

Gongzi didn't say a word that week, and knelt down respectfully.

Qing'er smiled with satisfaction, and then continued to walk upstairs with Bai Luo and Yu Lei.

The people in this laurel courtyard seemed to be accustomed to this scene, and no one even took a second look. Qing'er seemed to take that incident for granted, and didn't even want to explain it to Bai Luo and Yu Lei.

However, Bai Luo and Yu Lei clearly smelled a rancid stench on Zhou Gongzi.

The rancid stench of the dead alone.

It wasn't until Bai Luo and Yu Lei left from the first floor that the girls on that floor reluctantly withdrew their gaze and looked at their benefactors again. It's just that in this comparison, the ordinary benefactor next to him is naturally different from Bai Luo and Yu Lei, and they are not as enthusiastic as before.

Bai Luo coldly glanced at the guests on that floor, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. The eyes of the girls in this building fell on her and Yu Lei, but the men still looked at the girls beside them with expressions. In this building, it can be called obedient, not to mention Zhou Gongzi who is kneeling on the side?

Bai Luo followed Qing'er to the attic, and the more you went up, the more elegant this laurel courtyard became, and it was very different from those ordinary fireworks places. When you reach the top floor, you will first walk through a garden. The garden is like a fairyland of Yao Chi on the clouds, with flowers accompanied by small lakes, and some methods have been made on the small lakes to keep the mist from dissipating, as if the clouds in the sky have sunk.

Those pavilions and pavilions are even more exquisite, not like the brothel of the green house, but like the boudoir yard of a large family.

Miss Qing'er chuckled and said, "Girl, further inside is the boudoir of the two girls Zhanyue and Yaoyue." I can't go in again, so please go by yourself. ”

Bai Luo walked inside without saying a word. Yu Lei also followed slowly, but as soon as he took a step, Qing'er put a pair of softness on Yu Lei's shoulders.

Qing'er smiled: "Why should this son be anxious, it's better to let Qing'er ......" Before Qing'er finished speaking, she felt a burning sensation on her fingertips, burning as if the skin and flesh were about to crack immediately. Qing'er exclaimed in surprise and withdrew her hand. She looked at her fingertips in horror, but luckily they weren't really hurt.

Yu Lei looked at Qing'er coldly: "You'd better not touch me." ”

Where has Qing'er ever suffered such a loss? Qing'er likes to listen to the sweet words from those men's mouths, and the fox's kung fu is first-class in this laurel courtyard.

The girls in this laurel courtyard have their own preferences and specialties. is like the piano girl who plays the piano on the raft of the small lake in the laurel courtyard, she never makes any foxy kung fu, she wants to find the sound, only play the piano and don't talk about the wind and moon. So the piano girl is a piano idiot, and she plays the piano the best. And Qing'er is the one who knows how to seduce people in the Laurel Courtyard.

But as long as Qing'er has a crush on a man, there is none that she can't get. Yu Lei is like this, Qing'er is the first time I've seen it.

Yu Lei's eyes were extremely cold, Qing'er was angry but didn't dare to provoke, she bit her lower lip and said, "Childe thinks Qing'er is easy to bully." Qing'er is useless, and she can't say anything. But in our laurel courtyard, this attic is a forbidden place, and we can't enter without the invitation of the two girls of Zhanyue and Yaoyue. ”

Bai Luo only took two steps inside, heard the conversation between Yu Lei and Qing'er, and turned back. She walked up to Yu Lei, shoved the golden hairpin into Yu Lei's hand and said lightly: "Now there is." ”

Qing'er was angry: "Don't be so uninteresting!"

"Qing'er, don't scare the two distinguished guests. Behind the pavilion came a whisper that seemed to sigh.

Qing'er suddenly became respectful: "Miss Zhanyue, Qing'er knows that she is wrong. ”

Zhan Yue asked again, "Is it the son in black who is outside?"

Yu Lei didn't answer. He knew that with Bai Luo's strength, he didn't have to worry at all, but when he thought of the pair of eyes that fell on Bai Luo's body along the way, his heart felt like a small stone was pressed tightly to the bottom of his heart—he was really panicked.

Zhan Yue "giggled": "If Childe wants to come in, come in." There are many forks in the road in this garden, so go straight in, but don't go forks. ”

Qing'er respectfully let the way and let Bai Luo and Yu Lei in.

Yu Lei said softly: "Be careful." ”

Bai Luo said lightly: "It's just a hidden god, it's okay." ”

Yu Lei frowned and said, "How do you know that those two girls are hidden gods?"

"Guess. Bai Luo lowered his voice and said: "Although this Licheng is unreasonable everywhere, there is one thing I believe will not change. There are hidden gods and strange ghosts in the cracked sky. The position of the hidden god is above that of the ghost. Seeing the reverence that the people of the city have for the two girls, I guessed a thing or two. ”

Yu Lei looked around, and felt more and more bad in his heart: "If that's the case, then this Licheng ......"

Bai Luo frowned and shook his head: "I hope it's not what I thought." ”

The two of them continued to walk inside, and a garden that looked small from the outside felt very wide when they entered. And the road in the garden is winding and winding, and if you take a few more steps, you will seem to be lost.

Bai Luo felt inappropriate in his heart, stopped and said, "We seem to have just walked through this place. ”

The words fell, but the person next to him did not answer. Bai Luo turned his head suddenly, where was Yu Lei's shadow beside him? Originally, Yu Lei had been following behind him, but at this time, there was no one around him.

After the Yu Lei disappeared, the dense fog around him became heavier and heavier. Bai Luo didn't panic, only her blue pupils were left in the thick fog. Bai Luo said coldly: "If you don't show up again, then I will tear down this garden." ”

There was a soft laugh from the fog, and the sound was not the voice of Fang Cai Zhanyue. The voice was sweeter than Zhanyue's voice, presumably Yaoyue's.

Yaoyue's voice sounded a little innocent, only to hear her ask: "You have to be like Langjun is gone, so why aren't you anxious?"

Bai Luo said lightly: "There is no need to rush. ”

Yao Yue was puzzled: "Why?"

Bai Luo said casually: "Where can a little illusion make waves?"

Yao Yue laughed and said, "Illusion is like a dream, but can the girl tell when it is a dream and when it is awake?"

Bai Luo didn't bother to raise his eyelids: "Don't tell the difference." ”

Yao Yue was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Bai Luo said lightly: "It's a dream that will always wake up, why do you need to tell it?"

"Tut-tut. Yao Yue seemed to disagree: "If the reality is cruel and the dream is beautiful, why can't you live in a dream? Everyone can live in a dream, isn't it beautiful?"

Bai Luo was a little impatient, unwilling to have a similar "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie" argument with Yao Yue. She frowned slightly, pinched a wind word in her hand, and thought that it would be easier to dismantle the garden directly.

Zhan Yue said softly: "Yao'er is naughty again, today's distinguished guests are not a way of hospitality. ”

As soon as Zhan Yue's words fell, the fog in front of Bai Luo's eyes faded a lot.

In the mist, I only heard Yao Yue's sigh: "The Prison Martial Divine Monarch is still such a temperament, he has to fight and kill at every turn, so boring." ”
