In the morning, outside a small building full of red lanterns.

Ji Yuan, Shen Lang and Zhao Yuansong came to the largest gold cave in Qianyu City.

Although it is now past the morning, there are still people in twos and threes, either alone or in groups, who are slowly walking out of the Baihua Building.

Some of the little guys followed behind him diligently, and they sent off the golden guests with a charming smile on their faces throughout the whole process.

One of the young servants, after seeing a golden guest go away, was about to turn around and return when he happened to catch a glimpse of three people on the side of the road, especially after seeing the sloppy scholar, and immediately trotted all the way.

"Shen Gongzi!"

The little servant saluted respectfully, and his face was replaced with a sincere smile: "But come to see my lady?" ”

Shen Lang nodded, motioned to the other party to lead the way, and explained to the two beside him: "Generally, the women here are called ladies, but they are not the titles of ordinary people in the market. ”

Zhao Yuansong listened carefully, and nodded from time to time, but Ji Yuan next to him was full of disdain, as if he didn't want to know anything about this place at all.

For this kind of place, which is not only the most consuming of money, but also the most draining of people's will, he looked down on it from the bottom of his heart, and when Shen Lang was short of silver and was deducted, he only asked the little guy to take away the silver taels, and he would never set off by himself.

After a short time, under the guidance of this young man, the three of them came to a courtyard.

The layout of the courtyard is quite elegant, and at a glance, you can know that it is from Shen Lang's hand, and it seems that his relationship with the owner of this place is quite unusual.

After a few people sat down in the pavilion, before the cup of hot tea was drunk, a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes walked briskly from the house and gave them a blessing.

"Is Shen Gongzi okay?"

Before the plain-clothed woman took her seat, she had already looked at Shen Lang's body worriedly.

Seeing that he was covered in scars and dust, he couldn't help but feel distressed in his eyes, as if it hurt more than hitting himself.

Ji Yuan and Zhao Yuansong looked at each other silently, both of them saw the unusualness between the two, and then turned their eyes quietly, without looking at them too bluntly.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you have a lady to worry about, it's naturally all right!"

Shen Lang laughed, and then introduced them to both parties.

This plain-clothed woman's stage name is Yalan, one of the top brands of Baihualou, her appearance is extremely beautiful and she still has music and poetry, she has always been a performer and not a person, and she only has a moment of joy with someone who can win her appreciation.

If there is no accident, in the Oiran selection at the end of the year, he may become the new Oiran of Baihualou.

It's a pity that two days ago, a strange woman suddenly appeared in the Baihua Building, and that night she broke the rules and was directly appointed as the new Oiran.

"Yalan, don't say no, Shen and the two friends want to talk about something with the new Oiran."

After some greetings, Shen Lang directly expressed his intentions.

Hearing this, Yalan did not hide the dislike in his eyes, glanced at the scholar complainingly, and then swept his gaze over the two people on the side, and finally landed on Ji Yuan's body.

"Shen Gongzi, if you want to bring a friend to look for flowers and ask willows, the little woman naturally doesn't dare to say more, just ......"

Although she did not finish her words, the meaning of her words was not difficult to guess.

Obviously blaming Shen Lang, he just came out to look for flowers and ask willows, but how could anyone in this world bring a Taoist priest who was only a young man to this land of smoke and willows.

Isn't that a compromise on one's own virtue?

Seeing the blame on her face, several people knew that the other party had misunderstood, but some things were hard to say, so Shen Lang could only urge one or two.

And although Yalan's face was displeased, and even a little annoyed, he still got a little servant and asked him to carry a letter written by a scholar and send it to the new Oiran's courtyard.

After all, as a dusty woman, although she is unwilling in her heart, she can't break some of the rules of Baihualou, after all, this is also her only place to live.

It's just that although the rules can't be broken, she didn't have a good face for Shen Lang anymore, but instead ordered someone to take a lot of pastries, all of which were piled up in front of Ji Yuan.

She said a lot of things to the little Taoist priest with a pleasant face, and she was secretly persuading him to leave early, and as a cultivator, he should not deal with these people who were full of wind and dust.

Shen Lang and Zhao Yuansong, who watched this scene, smiled bitterly, but they couldn't explain it, so they had to look at their nose and nose, and sit honestly on the side without making a sound.

However, Ji Yuan's expression was a little strange at this time, it was the first time that he was so concerned by outsiders, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't feel any discomfort, and even felt a lot of warmth.

So he also made an unprecedented move, ignoring the turbidity of mortal grain for the time being, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, not knowing whether he was tasting the taste or feeling the warmth in his heart.

In a trance, Ji Yuan suddenly remembered that in the early years, when he looked at his peers on the street, followed by a sister, he couldn't control the envy in his heart.

is not only envious of the fight between sisters and brothers, but also envy of those people who can be taken care of by a sister, who always toss and turn at night and can't sleep, or dream that one day in the future, a woman who claims to be his sister will appear outside the Taoist temple.

"Having said all that, I don't know your name yet."

Yalan patted his forehead lightly: "No, no, no, I heard that it is taboo to ask a name, you have to ask a question mark, right?" ”

She smiled apologetically, as if apologizing for her recklessness.

There are indeed some rumors in the world that monks should not ask each other about their common names, and that if they have become monks, they should let go of the past and call themselves by the name of the Tao in the future.

It's just that for real monks, there are not so many taboos, and only those who can't let go will have such an obsession.

"The name of the poor Taoist family is Ji Yuan, and the road name is Lingyu."

However, Ji Yuan was quite serious about this, not only mentioning his own Taoist name, but also never retaining the name of the common family.

As his words fell, not only Yalan was a little stunned, but even Shen Lang on the side was stunned, as if he didn't expect that the little Taoist priest who had always spared no expense would inadvertently reveal a little closeness.

The scholar glanced at the woman beside him, and then touched his chin thoughtfully.

After a long while, Yalan came back to his senses, he was really the little Taoist priest in front of him, who had been putting on a face that was not close to anyone, and suddenly changed to a sincere expression, which was really difficult to adapt.

But no matter how you say it, she was born in the dust, and after the initial stunned, she coped with it quite decently.

Neither deliberately close, nor immediately estranged, just the right amount of proportion, will not make the already small goodwill, into heartfelt dislike and disgust.

After this episode, Yalan's complaints and anger towards Shen Lang in her heart were obviously alleviated a lot, and she would chat with the two from time to time.

Although the three of them were a little absent-minded at this time, they were also pulled by her, and they no longer kept silent with concern.

And while a few people were talking and laughing, Ji Yuan's face suddenly turned sideways, and then Zhao Yuansong and Shen Lang also showed solemn expressions almost at the same time.

In their perception, there was a resentment that was so thick that it could barely be dissolved, as well as a cold and cold ghost aura, which was rapidly coming towards this place.

Although he has not yet felt the hostility and murderous intent, he cannot afford the three of them to be underestimated, and the looming pressure is definitely from the hands of the second realm.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the faces of the three of them changed one after another, Yalan frowned slightly.

It's just that Ji Yuan and the others didn't respond, they just got up together and turned to look at the courtyard door.

In a few moments, a servant walked briskly into the courtyard gate, followed by three people, a young woman, and a pair of expressionless men and women with dull expressions.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan immediately put on his robe, and an extra bronze oil lamp appeared out of thin air in his palm, and the spiritual qi in it that had not yet fully recovered was circulating, releasing a layer of faint brilliance.

All of a sudden, he was ready to strike at any time, and even his mind had fallen on the long sword behind his back, and he could unsheath and slash the enemy with just one thought.

And Ji Yuan's strange appearance at this time was naturally taken into the eyes of the other two, although he didn't understand why he was like this, but he was still ready to fight the enemy together.

"Yo, isn't this the little Taoist priest that night, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

The young woman chuckled, and her gaze fell on the two men behind her.

But after just looking at it, she moved her gaze back, although she had already seen that a man behind her had the cultivation of the second realm, but her intuition told her that the most dangerous place here was Ji Yuan, who had taken a picture before.

"Sure enough, as Poor Dao expected, the skeleton ghost thing that appeared in the Hundred Flowers Building turned out to be you!"

His face was solemn, and there was a murderous aura in his tone.

On that day in the Fallen Soul Slope, the first ghost thing he encountered was the young woman in front of him, the other party's real body was a pink skeleton, a different species among the ghosts, and he was extremely strong by nature.

It's just that it's only been a few days, but the other party has jumped from the late stage of the enlightenment realm to the cultivation of the second realm 'point spirit realm', and his Taoism is very stable, not like he has just broken through.

I'm afraid that even a realm-breaking monk who has been polishing for a year and a half is not as stable as the other party is at the moment.

"Naturally, it's me, otherwise who can be the Oiran of Baihualou?"

The young woman chuckled, and there was a pride in her words.

It seems that the name of the Oiran of the Qinglou is a supreme reputation for her,

Seeing this, Ji Yuan sneered, glanced at the men and women behind the other party, and then said: "Ghost things are worthy of being ghost things, this ability to refine a puppet with a living person is really innate!" ”

There was an undisguised mockery in his words, obviously recognizing that the two Li Mufeng's junior brothers and sisters had been refined into puppets without sanity.

This kind of means and spells that will be sacrificed to the living can only be used by demons and demons, and they also look like they think they are righteous.

"Then little Taoist, you came here and mentioned the Bone Raw Meat Pill, do you want to make a deal with me, or do you want to kill demons?"

The young woman withdrew her gaze and slowly walked outside the pavilion, looking at the bonsai on the side as if admiring.

At this time, there was only a distance of four or five steps between her and Ji Yuan, which was very fatal to the monk.

He only needed to blow lightly, and the bronze oil lamp in his hand would release all his spiritual energy, enveloping the other party with blazing flames.

And at such a close distance, to withstand the full force of a magic weapon, even if he has the cultivation of the second realm, plus the other party's true body is a ghost alien 'red and pink skeleton', he will also be seriously injured.

Even if you are lucky, it is not impossible to kill the opponent on the spot!

It's just that after Ji Yuan sighed lightly, he quietly took two steps back, weighing the pros and cons and did not choose to seize this opportunity.

Seeing this scene, the young woman walked into the pavilion with a smile on her face, sat down where Ji Yuan was before, picked up the points in front of her, and put them in her mouth to taste them.

However, as a skeleton ghost, this form is just a trick for the self-evolution of the real body, and it is neither painful nor conscious, and of course it is impossible to taste the taste of food.

"Now may I talk about what you mentioned in your letter?"

At the beginning of the film, her eyes finally fell on Shen Lang's face, and she felt that only such a scholar could write that good hand.

It's just that although the words are good, she really can't appreciate them, because the Haoran Qi contained in them is a bit strong, although it won't hurt her true body, but it's always a very uncomfortable thing.

Shen Lang gave Yalan a look, and although the latter's face was a little puzzled, he still turned around and retreated into the room with great interest.

Then the three of them took their seats one after another, sharing a table with the pink skeleton.

"Before we talk about the deal, we have to make sure that you have nothing to do with everything that is happening in the city today."

As he spoke, the scholar took out a book from his bosom, which exuded a strong aura of grandeur.
