Chapter 17: Temptation
"If you miss the Tang Gate, will you really become a prostitute? I don't think so, maybe there will be a better opportunity. ”
As if he didn't understand Baili Lan's words, Jin Shan looked sideways, his eyes confused. "What did you say, young lady? The slave didn't understand too much. ”
"I don't understand, it's okay, wait a minute, I'll ask you a question, and you can answer it."
Seeing Baili Lan say this, Jin Shan hurriedly sat up straight, and said with a solemn face: "Young lady, please ask, the slave must know everything!" ”
The corners of his mouth were hooked seductively, and Baili Lan's voice was full of bewitchment.
"Do you know, where is the biggest furnace in the Tang Sect?"
Hearing this, Jin Shan's face changed, and he immediately said earnestly: "Young lady, didn't the slave tell you last time that women can't ask about this matter in the Tang Sect." It's not like you haven't looked at Miss Shanshan, if you really become like her, your life will be over! Miss Shanshan is also eighteen years old this year, but she still hasn't had an in-law, and I'm afraid it's over in this life! ”
Tapping his fingers on the table, Bai Lilan looked at Jinshan's Gu left and right and said to him, smiled softly, and said, "How to deal with it, that's my business, you just need to tell what you know." If you don't want to say it, then I won't force you, it all depends on how you choose. ”
Baili Lan is like this, although there is no verbal coercion, just a smile, you can go straight through people's souls and see through what you think in your heart, and the other party is only left to disarm and surrender.
Turning around and kneeling in front of Baili Lan, Jin Shanse shrank back and said, "Young lady, it's not that the slave doesn't want to tell you, it's just that after you know it, it won't be of any benefit to you, so why bother yourself?" Isn't it good to be the young master's wife like this? ”
"What do you little slave know? You don't know how I got into the position of this young master's wife, maybe you, like the others, also thought that I was lucky, because I won the love of the young master, so that the sparrow could become a phoenix and become the future hostess of the Tang Sect. But what happened behind the scenes, you know? So you won't understand my choice, I won't blame you, but when I chose you as my personal maid, I just need your absolute obedience and heartheart, and I don't need to chatter and question, you know? ”
"But......" Jinshan hesitated, as if he had made a lot of determination, before he said, "Okay, the slave will tell the young lady everything she knows." But the slave and maid hope that the young master's wife can act cautiously, as you said, it is not easy to get to this point, and you must not fall short. ”
Leaning over and bowing to Baili Lan again, Jin Shancai said slowly: "In the Tang Gate, there are three visible and three hidden. These three places are marked with 'outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission' of the stone arch secret room, the rain waterfall building, and the wind cliff. These three places are the most important and precious elixirs of the Tang Sect. Among them, the stone arch is the most powerful, because there are four dead passes in the stone arch, and I heard that even if the master of the world is in it, he will die without a place to be buried. ”
Bai Lilan was obedient and pursed her lips, not knowing if it was okay or not.
"As for the three hidden, the slave and maid have a lowly status, and they don't know where they are, which is a secret that only the respected people in the Tang Sect can know. The slave maid had only heard a few words from other people in the early years, and knew the approximate location, which was on the three corners of the Tang Gate. The young lord's wife may not know that the Tang Gate is different from other mansions, it is not a boxy shape, but an angular shape, I heard that it was the ancestor of the Tang Gate who came up with it, saying that such an arrangement can make the descendants blessed. ”
Three corners......
Bai Lilan narrowed her eyes and asked, "Could it be that these three corners are where the furnace is located?" ”
"This ...... Perhaps. ”
Bai Lilan recalled it carefully and found that the courtyard was indeed a triangle, and it was still a right angle. In terms of stability, it must be the point at the right angle that is the most important. Perhaps, you can start there.
Sitting up straight, Bai Lilan remembered the place where Tang Lingcan practiced, and it seemed to be very hidden, so she asked, "By the way, isn't the bamboo forest where the young sect master cultivates behind closed doors?" ”
Jin Shan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Bai Lilan to know this, and then thought that these two people were newly married, and the young master of the young sect was very fond of the young lady, and the young master was in retreat and practiced, so it would be understandable that he would take his wife to practice.
"Back to the young lady, although it is located in a bamboo forest and the location is hidden, it is only a place where the master of the young sect refines medicine and exercises, and it belongs to a private place, and it has nothing to do with the Tang Sect. However, ......" looked at Baili Lan with wandering eyes, and Jin Shan hesitated before asking softly, "Young lady, why are you so interested in the furnace?" ”
Hearing Jinshan's question, Baili Lan leaned forward and said with a mysterious expression: "I will only tell you one person about this matter, you must keep it secret for me, do you know?" ”
Seeing that Baili Lan said so solemnly, Jin Shan nodded hurriedly, for fear that the other party would not believe him, and raised his hand and swore again and again.
After receiving Jinshan's promise, Baili Lan relieved himself, asked him to turn his ear, and whispered: "I'm researching a medicine right now, but the furnace that can match my standard in the whole world can only be the biggest one in the Tang Sect." I just married into the Tang Sect, and I haven't figured out anything yet, and if I look for it without permission, it will only expose myself and make it more difficult to complete things in the future. Jinshan, since you are loyal to me, I will leave it to you to inquire about the news of the furnace. Remember, don't let anyone know I'm looking for the Forge when I go! ”
Baili Lan's request made Jin Shan a little confused, looked at Bai Li Lan, and asked quietly, "...... What kind of medicine do you want to refine? ”
His expression suddenly became uncomfortable, Bai Lilan first sighed, and then said slightly shyly: "Hey, the words have already been said at this point, I won't hide it from you." Bai Lilan looked sad and said, "Actually, my body is not suitable for childbirth, and when I was in my mother's house, my father and mother didn't worry about it. Later, by chance, a recipe was obtained, which was said to be able to improve a woman's chances of conception, but it was very demanding in the furnace of alchemy. You have lived in Tangmen since you were a child, and you know how to be a young lady in Tangmen without children? And this matter must not be known to the people in the Tang Sect, if they know, they will definitely use this as an excuse to let the young master take a concubine. I don't want to watch my husband being snatched away by others and die alone. Therefore, this refining must be successful, otherwise, after a year, this young master's wife will be replaced, and you, as my personal maid, will also be imprisoned in a cold house and serve me who has fallen out of favor for the rest of my life. I can see that you have a high spirit, you should know what to do, right? ”
was told by Baili Lan in a cold sweat, where does Jinshan dare to say a "no" word now? His current fate is closely related to Baililan, if he can't cooperate with him to change his physique and conceive an heir, then his fate will be as Baililan said, hiding in a remote small village and living a life without three meals.
Taking a deep breath, Jin Shan knelt in front of Bai Lilan and swore solemnly: "Don't worry, young lady, the slave will definitely find out for you!" ”
"Okay, now that you know what to do, let's go down."
"Yes!"
Meimu looked at Jinshan's slightly sad back, the corners of Baili Lan's mouth were hooked evilly, leaning on the soft couch, her eyes slightly closed.
Just when Jin Shan was comprehensively inquiring about the clues of the furnace, Tang Lingcan heard an answer that made him not very happy.
Staring at the people below viciously, Tang Lingcan slapped his palm on the table and asked in a cold voice: "You stupid slave, how do you do things, how can you make Baixiangmen refuse our business?" If you don't make any money, in the end are they fools or you are fools! ”
The guards kneeling below were full of guilt, but their expressions were resolute, and they seemed to be indignant, and said in a hoarse voice: "Back to the young master, the slave is to hand over the young master's letter to the helmsman of Baixiangmen, and after only one day, they sent someone to return the letter intact, saying that they don't do such business." ”
"Didn't you tell them that no matter how much money they opened this time, Tangmen would agree?"
"The minion said it, but ...... But the helmsman said that the most bad thing about their Baixiangmen was money, but the credibility was gone, and no amount of money could make up for it. ”
Tang Lingcan's face became ugly, he gritted his teeth and gurgled loudly, his eyes glared like a pair of copper bells, and he said angrily: "Reputation? Hmph, a place that will only train people to do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, and I'm embarrassed to mention credibility, it's really the best archway, don't make people laugh off their big teeth! You go and arrange it now, this time, I will personally talk to the people of Baixiangmen, and see how Tangmen has made them lose their reputation! ”
“…… Be! ”
Seeing that the master was really angry, the minions didn't dare to be sloppy anymore, so they arranged a time on the second day and sent Tang Lingcan to Baixiangmen to divide the rudder, thinking that the grievances they had received here before, someone could finally come out for them today!
This Baixiang Gate stands next to the water, and it looks like a teahouse on the outside, but after entering the inside, I found that this is indeed just a teahouse, but there are no guests inside, except for the shopkeeper and the guys, only Tang Lingcan, who has just entered the door, is left.
His eyes looked around, and then he picked up a table and sat down at random, Tang Lingcan glanced at the people around him, and the guard pulled his neck and shouted, "Who of you are in charge here?" ”
The shopkeeper was pulling the abacus, and when he heard this roar, his fingers moved slightly, making the whole abacus mess up, and he couldn't help but be full of resentment, and said in a cold voice: "Why is it so loud? The teahouse is originally a place of self-cultivation, and if you don't have enough self-cultivation, don't disturb other people's Yaxing. ”
The shopkeeper's words were neither light nor serious, nor did he say anything unpleasant, but it made Tang Lingcan's face change, and a cloud of anger rose in his heart, making his eyes red.
Clenched his hands, Tang Lingcan smiled instead of being angry, and said in a cold voice: "Hmph, since the shopkeeper said that this is a teahouse, why don't you see the guys coming over to serve?" Is it also the consistent style of your Baixiangmen to snub guests like this? ”
