178, talent and color

At noon the next day, Luling Mansion City, come to Hong Restaurant.

Shen Lang is dressed in brocade clothes, with a jade belt around his waist, holding a sandalwood folding fan, wearing a gold-inlaid jade wrench on his thumb, and having exaggerated eight-clawed crab bangs.

Obviously, he used the "Appearance of All Beings" spell to completely change his appearance and hide his true face.

Because the city of Luling Mansion has been pasted with the official government to chase down the sea fishing documents of the "Demon Monk Fahai".

Not only are the billboards in front of several city gates posted with sea fishing documents, but also the bazaars, restaurants, green houses, casinos and other places with a large flow of people in the city are also plastered with bounty wanted notices.

Like the Laihong Restaurant in front of Shen Lang, there is a wanted notice on the notice board next to the gate.

The portrait on the wanted warrant looks like a "demon monk Fahai".

Not to mention, it's really like Shen Lang's appearance when he was a monk before.

In addition to the portraits, there are also detailed text descriptions.

Including his legal name, approximate age, height, body type, martial arts, weapons, and even a description of the little rabbit, as well as Zhang Mengmeng's rabbit portrait.

The charges are more exaggerated:

rape and kill Du Qianqian, kill Du Baisheng, kill so-and-so, so-and-so and other four government officials and arrest quickly, rape and kill so-and-so, so-and-so...... There was a long list of names behind, and there were dozens of people.

This is obviously planting other headless eucalyptus on the "Demon Monk Fahai".

Even those dozens of victims, there is a high probability that they are simply victims made by the Seven Spider Sisters Blood Sacrifice Demon God.

When Shen Lang stood by the door of the restaurant, reading the reward notice with relish.

was also blessed by Shen Lang with the spell of "All Beings", adjusted the eyebrows, eyes, facial features, height and body shape, and became very different from its original appearance, and also changed into a conservative emerald green shirt, Bai Shishi, who was dressed as a girl, whispered next to him:

"You're not angry at all when it's such an obvious blame-planting?"

Shen Lang smiled and unfolded the folding fan with a bang. I saw that the front of the folding fan was written "emptiness", and the back was written "lonely", and there was no place to write the word "cold", so I simply carved a row of "cold" words on the fan bone.

Shen Lang shook the folding fan lightly, walked to the door of the restaurant, and said:

"The one who is wanted is the 'demon monk Fahai', and the one who is blamed is also Fahai, what does it have to do with me's 'empty son'?"

Looking at his exaggerated appearance, Bai Shishi couldn't help but have a cold face, shrunk her neck, raised her hands and rubbed her arms:

"Your name is bad enough. Empty boy, ha, look at the way you look now, there is indeed enough emptiness ......"

Shen Lang glared back at her:

"You demon girl, don't think I can't hear you hinting at me!"

Bai Shishi's eyes widened and she was surprised:

"Can you understand my hints? Aren't you an honest monk who is not close to women and useless in raising birds? ”

The corners of Shen Lang's mouth twitched twice, he didn't bother to say more to this demon girl, and threw a few coppers to the shopkeeper who greeted him with a smile on his face:

2k

"Is there a private room? If you have, find a private room facing the street for my son. ”

"Okay, please ...... in the son-in-law"

He went up to the third floor of the restaurant with the shopkeeper, sat down in a box by the window on the street, ordered a table of good wine and good food, and when the wine and food were ready, the shopkeeper withdrew from the box, Shen Lang picked up the fast son, picked up a piece of braised pork ribs, and chewed it in a big mouthful.

Bai Shishi sat opposite him, just picked up the fast son, and before he started, Shen Lang was already in the wind and clouds, and even ate a few large pieces of braised pork ribs, and took the time to drink a glass of wine......

Bai Shishi couldn't help but joke:

"Eating grass indirectly and drinking the juice of fermented grains?"

The surface of the sunken waves does not change color:

"I'm an empty boy now, and I can eat whatever I want."

"You fake monk, the ginseng is clearly the wild fox Zen, and the sacrifice is also the temple of the five organs, and you kill people without blinking...... I really don't know why Venerable Liuli values you so much......"

Shen Lang laughed:

"Naturally, it's because my son is chic enough."

Bai Shishi pursed the corners of her lips:

"The way you look now, it has nothing to do with the word chic."

After saying these few words, Shen Lang had almost finished eating a whole plate of braised pork ribs, and he didn't delay his eating speed at all.

Bai Shishi hurriedly stretched out her son, and before Shen Lang liquidated, she grabbed a piece of braised pork ribs and came back, and ate it in small bites.

When he was about to eat and drink, Shen Lang gradually slowed down, and while slowly drinking wine, he said:

"On the way to Fucheng today, you performed well, including after entering the city, you have not done anything or left a password. Barely able to be regarded as actively cooperating with me in the investigation, and there is a meritorious performance. ”

Hearing this, Bai Shishi's body stiffened slightly, raised her wine glass and took a sip, moistened her dry throat, and said calmly:

"You know I used to leave a code?"

Shen Lang nodded:

"When you came down the mountain yesterday, you were leaving a secret message all the way. I haven't looked back, but I know it clearly. ”

Bai Shishi snorted lightly:

"If you know, why don't you expose it on the spot?"

Shen Lang smiled:

"If you want to fish, of course you have to set up bait.

"I wanted to fish out your sisters and break them one by one while they saved you.

"But I didn't expect that I obviously only showed the strength to defeat and kill the fifth-grade martial artists by means of sneak attacks, secret calculations and other means, far from being the opponents of the fourth-grade martial artists, but they still had patience, only drove the cannon fodder to attack me, and tried to design to use the power of the government to drive me out......

"White girl, your sisters, don't seem to think much of you. They did this, as if they had no thought at all, that if I were cornered, I would probably kill you first. Your safety doesn't seem to matter to them.

"And Du Baisheng, as Du Qianqian's father, was used as cannon fodder, driving him to test my bottom line...... White girl, the friendship between your seven spider sisters doesn't seem to be very strong. ”

Bai Shishi pursed her lips lightly and said:

"The idea of our Lord is that all living beings compete for the earth, and the strong plunder everything, and the weak become the food of blood.

"I fell into your hands, I have already lost once, and I indirectly killed the fifth sister, which can be described as defeat after defeat. I have lost twice in a row, I am already a 'weakling', and even if my sisters give up on me completely, it is in line with my lord's philosophy.

"What's more, they didn't give up on me completely, but still tried to save me. If you hadn't dared to resist the yamen's arrest last night, I would have been saved.

"As for the father of the fifth sister...... According to our lord's concept, what does the father of the fifth sister have to do with our sisters? Don't say that my other sisters are the fifth sister herself, if necessary, she will not hesitate to drive her father to be cannon fodder and fill ditches. ”

Shen Lang sighed:

"There is no humanity at all in such a concept. Even some animals know how to be grateful for the grace of nurturing and give back to their parents. Your lord has taught you to renounce humanity, and you are not even like beasts, and you are not a righteous god at all. ”

Bai Shishi slapped Kuaizi on the table, her brows were raised, her eyes widened, her lips opened slightly, and she instinctively wanted to debate the scriptures and defend her beliefs.

But when the words came to her mouth, somehow, thinking of Du Baisheng's expression and words before she died, her heart was slightly sudden.

At this time, Shen Lang said quietly:

"White girl, your sisters only think about dealing with me, but they don't care about your safety, you really don't have the slightest resentment about this?

"Don't say anything, last night's catch was an attempt to save you. Those preymen are vulnerable in front of me, and your sisters don't have any points in their hearts about this?

"With the brain of your 'talented girl' fourth sister, don't you even understand the truth of 'don't think about winning, think about defeat first'? Didn't she imagine that I would be able to resist? ”

Bai Shishi reluctantly argued:

"But if you resist, you will end up being wanted with a bounty, and you will not be able to move an inch. If it weren't for the fact that he met Venerable Liuli and gave you a token of blessing spells, you wouldn't even be able to enter the mansion city......"

Shen Lang nodded:

"yes, that's what they designed. Therefore, they had long thought that I would resist, so they just pushed the boat down the river and used the power of the government to drive me away.

"But this kind of design seems to ignore you. After ignoring the evil monk and demon monk who provoked me, who killed people and broke his vows, he was likely to be angry with you, torture you, humiliate you, and even kill you.

"Do you guess they didn't think of it, or did they deliberately ignore it?

"Speaking of which, none of your sisters showed up at the scene last night. Putting the hope of saving you completely on a group of hunters whose martial arts are far inferior to mine, this can't be justified anyway, right? ”

Bai Shishi said in a weak tone:

"I, I'm not afraid of death...... Our seven sisters are not afraid of death......"

Shen Lang chuckled lightly and said leisurely:

"Of course I know that you are not afraid of death, White Girl. Maybe that's why your sisters didn't think much about your life or death?

But you must know that after you die, the destination of your soul may not be to be with God and serve God for eternity. A demon god who advocates the law of the jungle and teaches you to abandon humanity and abandon humanity, white girl, think about it yourself, she really has such a good heart? ”

Hearing this, Bai Shishi's heart trembled, and she remembered what Shen Lang said yesterday:

Your soul is nothing but the food of the demon god......

Before she was alive, she wanted to be the cannon fodder of the demon god, and she was driven to use it, and after death, her soul also had to be consumed and nourished for the demon god to help her live forever......

In the past, Shen Lang's statement couldn't shake her belief at all, but now......

Her confidence has long been shattered by Shen Lang's three palms.

Du Qianqian's death exacerbated the collapse of her confidence.

So much so that at that time, she had obviously recovered four or five successes, even if she was defeated by Shen Lang and Rabbit, there was a possibility of escaping, but she was still captured, and she didn't even try to escape, so she obediently accepted the "Gong San".

Although she collapsed at that time, she was only confident in her own strength, but her strength came from the gift of the demon god.

Since she is no longer confident in the strength given by the Demon God, it is natural that her belief in the Demon God will be implicated.

If her faith had not wavered, then no matter how Shen Lang slandered her lord, she would only be disdainful, and she should not have argued with him with fierce words like yesterday, and even cited all kinds of examples, almost revealing the true identities of her sisters.

Yesterday on Lize Mountain, the performance of the fierce debate was actually because her faith had been shaken, and she must use that way to consolidate her faith.

At this moment, Shen Lang's words lingered in her ears like a magic sound, constantly impacting her already wavering faith, making her eyes suddenly and her face dazed, and she opened her mouth to argue, but she couldn't say a word.

"White girl, this is the matter, I can take you to the capital, ask Venerable Liuli, or other great real people, to wash away the brand of the demon god on your primordial god, and cut off your involvement with the demon god. Although you may not be able to escape death after all due to your sins, at least, your soul after death will not become bait for the demon gods. ”

The corners of Bai Shishi's mouth twitched slightly, and she said with a forced smile:

"Then I really want to thank you."

Shen Lang Turbulent Road:

"You're welcome. By the way, if I want to find a talented woman and a beautiful woman who is sought after by many literati and samurai, where should I go? ”

Bai Shishi was silent for a while, and said slowly:

"Tenka Society."

……

Tianxiang Society, originally a poetry society initiated by a group of gentry women.

At first, it was just a female scroll of some squires and tyrants and officials, who gathered together to recite poems and write poems, and the venue was not fixed.

Later, there were fixed meeting places and even "sponsors".

The "Luling Chamber of Commerce" sponsored a garden-style manor located on the bank of the "Cuixing Lake" on the outskirts of the city to Tianxiang Society, and also sponsored an activity fund every month.

Since then, the activities of the Tianxiang Society have basically been held in that manor. When people mention "Tianxiang Society", they mostly refer to the lakeside manor.

There is also the largest tea merchant in Luling Mansion, several tea marketing houses, and even the "Xiangshan Tea House" that can enter the capital market, which provides all kinds of refreshments for Tianxiang Society free of charge all year round.

There is also the first martial arts faction in Luling Mansion, "Mingjian Villa", which dispatches elite disciples with strong martial arts all year round to provide free security services for Tianxiang Society.

Some well-known literati and artists in Luling Mansion also often donate some calligraphy and paintings for the auction of Tianxiang Society to raise funds.

After several years of development, Tianxiang Society has become one of the most elegant places in Luling Mansion.

Many scholars from other places, and even literati and artists from Beijing, will visit Tianxiang Society when they pass through Luling.

Today's Tianxiang Society not only holds literary meetings and poetry meetings, but also often holds various elegant activities such as art exhibitions and chess competitions.

has also brought out several talented women, and after becoming famous, they all married Ruyi Langjun one after another, and in turn helped the development of Tianxiang Society, making Tianxiang Society more and more prosperous.

For example, the most well-known talented woman in the incense society today is called "Yue Ling'er".

His ancestor and father were both well-known scholars in Luling Mansion, although they had never been an official, they opened a academy and cultivated several good students. Among them, the two most promising students, one has achieved the honor of a mansion, and the other has become a layman in the imperial court.

Therefore, even if the Yue family does not have an official body, they are also important noble gentry in Luling Mansion.

Successive governors, every time a major event is encountered, when the villagers are convened to discuss the meeting, they all invite the father and son of the Yue family to be present and solemnly solicit opinions.

However, Yue Ling'er can become the most well-known talented woman in Tianxiang Society today, but she does not rely on the reputation of her ancestors and fathers.

She is indeed extremely talented, not only can write poems and endowments, but also knows how to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and is praised by the literati as a strange woman who is "both civil and military".

She is not only talented, but also good-looking, and is known as the first beauty in Luling Mansion - although it is said that five years ago, her appearance could only be regarded as delicate, but five years ago she was only fourteen years old.

As the saying goes, eighteen changes in women's colleges.

As girls grow older, their faces and bodies become longer and longer, and they become more and more beautiful and moving, which is normal.

Yue Ling'er, who is both talented and beautiful, is not only admired and sought after by literati and scholars, but also many young martial arts heroes are devoted to her, and often come to visit Tianxiang Society in the name of exchanging poems.

The more famous Ling'er became, the more people came to visit Tianxiang Society, and gradually in addition to the serious literati and martial arts Junjie, some non-serious people tried to come to join in the fun, which made Tianxiang Society annoyed, so they simply set the rules:

The literati wanted to enter the Tianxiangshe Manor and had to perform their talents. Or refer to things to write poems, or paint on the spot, or play chess, and the level is reasonable before you can enter.

If a samurai wants to enter, he must also perform a unique job on the spot, and be recognized by the disciples of "Mingjian Villa" before he is eligible to enter.

In this way, it blocked a lot of idle people who had no skills, and greatly improved the quality of visitors to Tianxiang Society.

However, this also created a big trouble for Shen Lang.

On the shore of the Star Lake, under the green willow trees.

Shen Lang looked at the lakeside manor full of cars and horses parked in front of the door not far away, and asked Bai Shishi with some embarrassment:

"Do you think it's better for me to pretend to be a literati or a samurai?"
