Chapter Eighty-Three: Desire

Human beings have human nature, and there are divine and animal natures hidden in human nature.

This most primitive fighting scene, without point, without mercy from his subordinates, without death, and blood to set off the atmosphere, undoubtedly can stimulate the hidden beast nature in the human body the most.

The audience threw away their usual disguises and showed their crazy side. The men, with their blood boiling and hoarse, seemed to be rejuvenated. The women, flushed, seemed to have reached the pinnacle of bliss at this moment.

Zhang Yuelu's attention only stayed in the ring for a very short time, and soon turned to the surrounding audience, and frowned slightly when he saw this slightly distorted face.

She didn't like the atmosphere.

She felt that this atmosphere was very abnormal, I was afraid that it was not only because of the ring, but also because of other external forces, but whether it was spells or drugs, I couldn't see it for the time being.

In the Taoist sect, the Taoist priests occupy the absolute leadership position, and the spiritual officials are in a subordinate position, some similar to the previous dynasty's military system with literature, even if it is a military attache of the second or third rank, it must be subject to the civil officials of the fifth or sixth rank. Although the Daomen did not reach such an extent, the spirit officials had long been accustomed to carrying out orders without making decisions. Therefore, Xu Lingguan did not say a word at this time, did not make any evaluation, and the sentence just now, "If the water is clear, there is no fish", it was his response to Zhang Yuelu's question, which came from other high-grade Taoist priests, not his own opinion.

As for Xu Kou, he only found it boring.

He has the nickname "Little Yama", which shows what kind of person he is. As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames. Xu Kou felt that he had not been given the wrong name, nor had he been called by the wrong nickname. He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and he has seen a lot of bloody things than this, and he has even handled it himself. It is these pampered masters, young masters, wives, and young ladies who will make a fuss because of this little scene.

Of course, he is not interested in being compassionate to others, let alone listening to the teachings of Deputy Hall Master Zhang, he is not Qi Xuansu, he has no interest in a boring and old-fashioned woman like Deputy Hall Master Zhang. At most, what Deputy Hall Master Zhang ordered, he just did it.

But then again, he misses Qi Xuansu a little, although the two don't have a deep intersection and there have been some skirmishes, but in essence, they are the same kind of people, if Qi Xuansu is also here, most likely they will feel the same way as him.

Pity.

Just when Xu Kou was in a trance, the winner was divided in the ring.

A charlatan fell into the flames and was soon burned to the ground.

Although his opponent was covered in blood, staggered, and obviously suffering a lot of injuries, he still raised his hands and enjoyed the cheers of the audience.

Zhang Yuelu said: "It's almost over, I want to meet the master behind the scenes." ”

Xu Kou immediately came back to his senses, answered, and turned to leave the place.

After a short time, the butler who was in charge of receiving them followed Xu Kou and returned, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Master Lu, this is not very in line with the rules. ”

Zhang Yuelu turned around: "The rules are set by people."

Target. ”

Xu Kou took out a golden ticket with a face value of one hundred, but it was directly exchanged for worry-free money.

The butler's gaze fell on the golden ticket, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.

One hundred worry-free money is exchanged for one thousand Taiping money, because gold and silver are cheap, and if they are placed on the black market, they can be even higher.

That's not a small amount.

Xu Kou said: "After thinking about it, after this village, there will be no such shop, and there are not many good things in the world that can make so much money." ”

The housekeeper swallowed his saliva vigorously and took the golden ticket: "Lu Gongzi wait a minute." ”

After the housekeeper left, Xu Kou sighed: "Money can make ghosts grind." ”

Zhang Yuelu said lightly: "Remember to get the money back, if it is less than a penny, you can use your own example to make up for it." ”

Xu Kou said, "Please rest assured, deputy hall master." ”

Of course, this money is not Zhang Yuelu's, nor Xu Kou's, but Tiangangtang's, which is considered some necessary expenses, even if Zhang Yuelu takes it for himself, no one will say anything, but Zhang Yuelu doesn't plan to do it.

Xu Kou can not be concerned about other things, but he does not dare to be unconcerned about money.

Otherwise, he and Qi Xuansu are actually the same kind of people, and they don't know the importance of money until they are poor.

After about half an hour, the housekeeper came back and asked Zhang Yuelu and others to meet the owner of this place, but there was one condition, they could not bring their entourage.

Xu Kou said: "This is your unreasonableness. What should I do if I don't have an accident without an entourage? It's not that I can't trust you, but there are other guests here, if there is a misunderstanding between the guests, some conflicts and frictions, without an entourage, there is not even a buffer. Besides, this is your territory, and you are afraid that we will be able to do something to your master? ”

The housekeeper knew that Xu Kou was reasonable, and said in a slight heel: "In this way, let's each take a step back and only bring one entourage." ”

Xu Kou took a step back: "I won't go." ”

Xu Lingguan said slowly: "I'll accompany my son." ”

The housekeeper glanced at Xu Lingguan, who had been silent, and secretly thought that the two entourages of this Lu Gongzi had a strict division of labor, one was responsible for moving his mouth, and the other was mostly responsible for doing it.

The three of them returned to the ground, and the housekeeper recruited a servant and asked him to lead Xu Kou to the side hall to rest, where there were drinks, and there were also little ministers and girls, but the quality was slightly lacking, and it was a place specially used to entertain guests' entourage.

Zhang Yuelu and Xu Lingguan followed the butler through the layers of defenses and walked towards a three-story blue-black pavilion in the depths of the manor.

This pavilion is very large, so big that it is somewhat unexpected by Zhang Yuelu.

The depth is about five zhang, and the width is nine zhang, which together is the number of ninety-five, which is the specification of the palace hall.

Although the Great Xuan Imperial Family doesn't care much about these things because of their origins in the Dao Sect, it is not entirely inappropriate, even if the Emperor Tiangao is far away, these

The fact that a person dares to act in this way shows how bold he is.

The people who can come to this building are naturally either rich or expensive. On the first floor is a huge gambling house with all kinds of tricks. The second floor is divided into dozens of small halls, warblers and swallows. As for the third floor, it is the main event, the entire third floor is directly opened, and because it is the top floor, the dome is obviously much higher than the first floor and the second floor, under the dome is a ring, there is a relief of two dragons playing with pearls in the middle position, and there are nine lanterns decorated with tassels hanging above it, look carefully, the style is somewhat similar to the sky lantern above Taiqing City.

At this time, there were still two corpses and undried blood stains in the ring, and the blood slowly flowed along the lines of the relief, and under the illumination of the lights, there was a thrilling beauty.

The ring is surrounded by a circle of tables and chairs, and there are not many of them because of the large gaps.

The main seat in the center is particularly magnificent, and the huge chair is shining with golden light under the illumination of the lamp, comparable to the dragon chair.

Even if someone from the Daomen who doesn't care much about the royal family of the imperial court sees it, he has to sigh, so bold.

Zhang Yuelu looked around, her gaze swept over the guests one by one, and finally landed on the young man sitting on the main seat.

The guests were all gentry and wealthy businessmen, and Zhang Yuelu had no doubt that there were also official court officials or Taoist disciples among them.

The young man was a little displeased with Zhang Yuelu's direct gaze and frowned.

Just before he could speak, Zhang Yuelu had already spoken: "You are the master behind the scenes, Du Longtan, here?" A little younger than I thought. It seems that the rumors that the Lingshan Witch Sect can rejuvenate people are not groundless. ”

Du Longtan was drinking with a wine glass, and after hearing this, he slammed the wine glass in his hand, not hiding his anger.

In this world, except for the elders and superiors, calling others by their names in person is equivalent to scolding. What's more, Zhang Yuelu also mentioned the Lingshan Witch Sect, which is the death hole of Du Longtan.

Without Du Longtan's orders, a guard had already walked out of the lamplight, ready to capture this bold young man.

There was also no need for Zhang Yuelu to speak, Xu Lingguan, who was originally standing behind Zhang Yuelu, also stepped forward.

There was a ring between Zhang Yuelu and Du Longtan, and the two appeared in the ring almost at the same time.

Then this master of the Restoration Stage was just a face, and he was choked by the throat of the second-grade spirit official, unable to move.

After all, not every true master can be like Zhang Yuelu, and he also has the power to fight against the heavens.

Zhang Yuelu didn't look at the two people in the ring, but looked up at the nine lanterns hanging high on the dome, a little enlightened.

Why did these people turn their backs on the Dharma? Because whether it is Taoism, Confucianism or Buddhism, even if there are all kinds of shortcomings, it is fundamentally to persuade people to be kind, temperate, and love others, in addition to various precepts, morals, and rules, it is also an invisible shackle, and it is a prison of desire. And these people, what they need is "freedom", unrestrainedness, and the release of their desires, and since the Daomen cannot satisfy them, they abandon the Daomen and throw themselves into the arms of a cult that can satisfy their desires.
