Chapter 140: An undercurrent surging
"This master~ come in and take a look, our girl is so smart, how comfortable it is to keep it and serve it!"
"Eh, this son, looking at your graceful figure, they all say that you are talented and beautiful, and this is the only one, should you find a beautiful woman to accompany you?"
β......β
"Master~ Our girl is comfortable to serve, don't forget to come back next time, be careful and walk slowly. β
In Cuiyaoju, it can be said that it is prosperous to a point, people come and go, there is an endless stream, there are all kinds of people, and the places within a radius of several miles are very lively.
The beauties dressed in flowers and branches greet the guests in front of the Qinglou, the warbler Yanyan, the voice is so sweet and intoxicating, every moment there are men who are half-flickered and half-tempted into the Qinglou.
These green buildings are all opened near Cui Yaoju, and if you want to think about Wanhualou and Chunhuayuan, they add up to no less than the number of hands.
It stands to reason that with Cui Yao living here, these green buildings will be eclipsed, and the business should not be so good.
But you know, what kind of place Cui Yaoju is, not everyone can get in, even the first floor requires people with a strong family background and a little ink in their hearts to get in, and in this way, they can appreciate the girls' artistic skills, if they want to serve closely, and even sleep together, they have to pay more, and they have to add a little luck, and only receive 100 people a day, compared to the flow of people here is really insignificant.
And this is just cheaper for these other green buildings, which are attracted by the huge popularity of Cui Yaoju, but they are an important source of customers, which can be said to occupy the right time and place.
Therefore, in order to survive in these areas, you also need your own background, otherwise you will be replaced by others.
Compared with these green buildings, Cui Yaoju is much more upscale, without those women with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, from the outside, it is impossible to see that it is a green building.
In the crowd of people, there is a man who flocked to Cui Yaoju with the flow of people, his appearance is extremely ordinary, he belongs to the kind that cannot be found when thrown into the pile, but if you look closely, you will find that every step he takes is like measuring with a ruler, and he has always kept a subtle distance from the surrounding crowd, even his clothes have not been touched, but maybe he looks too ordinary, and no one has noticed his existence from beginning to end.
It wasn't until this person stood at the door of Cui Yaoju, and even his footsteps didn't change, that some people noticed him, but instead of noticing how different he was, they showed contemptuous and contemptuous eyes.
"Do you dare to come here like this, do you know what this place is?"
"I don't think he knows, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to come here. β
β......β
A series of ugly voices drilled into the man's ears, but he was not moved in the slightest, as if he didn't hear it, in fact, although he looked ordinary, but he was not ugly, but compared to other handsome people, he was indeed "ugly", and he did not show the breath of a warrior, so he was naturally despised.
But instead of being annoyed that his looks were ridiculed, he had to thank his looks, otherwise he wouldn't be alive today, which is something that these self-righteous people will never understand, and an irreparable gap between them and themselves.
Sure enough, he was stopped, and it was a burly man who stopped him, a head taller than him, and the muscles of his whole body bulged, holding up his clothes as if they were about to be torn.
However, Cui Yaoju obviously didn't care about this, because it didn't need to support this false faΓ§ade.
However, at this time, the people who laughed at the man were silent, and they had to maintain their demeanor, especially in front of the people of Cui Yaoju.
The burly man who stopped him didn't speak, his actions are the best words, everyone who comes to Cui Yaoju must know the rules here, and those who don't know the rules are "invited" out.
The man was even more direct than him, he didn't say anything, he just threw a Sumeru ring, and then walked around the big man and walked away.
The burly man's mind sank into the Sumeru ring, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he put it away and looked at the other people who came, the meaning was self-evident.
Cui Yaoju's rules, they are the most clear to these regulars, they have paid the fees, but they secretly wonder in their hearts, who is the person they laughed at, they actually entered so easily, and they have seen the Sumeru ring he took out, and the background is by no means simple.
Passing through a corridor that is not long or short but elegant, it is really into Cui Yaoju, a drunken song was played by the young and lovely children, I don't know how many people were fascinated, there are guests while drinking and appreciating, half intoxicated, there are also a few wealthy and graceful children of the family, one hand holds the enchanting girl, enjoys the gentle service of the girl, and the other hand is not honest in the beauty of the body, provoking the beauty in the arms of the coquettish, so not enjoyable.
There are people who are indifferent to all this, although his face is also full of enjoyment, and his eyes are flowing on the thin and delicate bodies of the beautiful women around him, seemingly aggressive, but in the depths of his eyes are ancient wells without waves, without the slightest lust.
As he walked through an ordinary, unobtrusive room, he withdrew his gaze and dodged inside, where no one noticed him the whole time, for he was so ordinary.
It was a room full of miscellaneous items, leaving very limited open space, and when the man came in, he walked directly to the corner and removed the miscellaneous objects in front of him, revealing a bulge, and his palm suddenly slapped on it.
Suddenly, a square crack appeared in the wall that was not blocked by debris, and it was a stone door, and the man moved the debris back to its place, and one dodged into the stone door, and then the stone door closed again and returned to normal.
Behind the stone gate was nine stone steps, and then there was a dark tunnel that led to nowhere, and the man stepped into it without the slightest hesitation, and his unpleasant steps gradually increased, until there was almost only a vague shadow left, and he walked deeper and deeper.
This tunnel is very long, very dark, and there are many forks, like a spider web spread out in all directions, like an underground labyrinth, people who are not familiar with the path are very likely to be trapped in it forever and can't get out, especially the road that this person has walked is completely irregular, turning left and right, and even occasionally seems to walk a circle and return to the same place, and then walk again.
This walk is several hours, I don't know how many turns, how many forks in the road, how many circles, and here is completely dark, there is no light, even if you follow him closely, I am afraid that I will be dizzy, and finally lose it.
I'm afraid the people who designed this underground labyrinth were designed to prevent being followed.
Finally, the darkness in front of him was dispelled by a faint firelight, and after walking a few quick steps, his vision suddenly became wider.
This is a cave with a radius of no more than ten zhang, and there are a few faint clusters of fire to support the light here, but it still looks dim and quiet, and the cold wind blows lightly, which makes people can't help but feel gloomy.
It was empty, except for the man who had just walked in, and there was not even a human figure.
However, the man's face became extremely solemn, and when he stepped into the center of the cave, he knelt on his knees with a "plop" sound, leaned forward, and almost lay on the ground, his head touched the ground, looking extremely respectful, as if he was meeting the emperor.
"Subordinates meet the Lord!"
At the same time, his cold and respectful voice spread through the empty cave mansion.
There's no one here, who is he talking to?
No one spoke, and he did not raise his head, and kept that respectful posture all the time, without the slightest impatience.
It wasn't until a long time that a hoarse voice appeared out of thin air, with supreme majesty and coldness.
"Got news of Soul Snatcher?"
In just six words, but with boundless coldness, the man's figure suddenly trembled, buried his head lower, and replied with some trembling: "Back to the Lord, it's still ...... Not yet. β
"Bang!"
As soon as his words fell, the temperature of the cave suddenly plummeted, almost frozen, and a terrifying coercion shrouded him, and the cold wind blew, and his body flew out upside down, hitting the cave wall fiercely, and his internal organs were all shocked.
His body fell to the ground, and with a "wow" he spat out a large mouthful of blood, mixed with minced meat, which were shattered fragments of internal organs.
"Genus...... Subordinate, confess!" he raised his head with difficulty, his face was frighteningly white, and it was a real thing, and he was seriously injured directly.
In fact, when the attack came, he was aware of it, but he knew that he couldn't hide, and he didn't dare to hide, and if he did, he would die.
He has never been afraid of anyone, he doesn't know what he is afraid of, only the Lord in his mouth has made his fear of him engraved in his bones, and he can't forget it.
"Rubbish!"
When the two words fell, his body trembled again, not daring to refute.
"I can't do such a thing, what's the use of keeping you here?" A figure appeared out of thin air in the cave, shrouded in black robes, unable to see the face and figure clearly, and unable to distinguish whether it was a man or a woman.
Seeing the black-robed man, his figure trembled again, he felt the coldness around him, his muscles all over his body tensed, and he hurriedly said: "No, the lord, my subordinates heard some information and were about to report to the lord." β
"Oh, then speak up and let this seat hear, if it's enough for you to live. A hoarse voice came from under the black robe.
"Yes...... Yes!" He hurriedly nodded and responded: "My subordinates heard that a few months ago, someone secretly issued a reward order, a high reward for a person's head, this person's cultivation is only in the realm of quenching the body, but the reward person asked the strong person above the Lingyuan realm to make a move, and soon after, the soul snatcher disappeared, and the subordinates suspected that he suddenly left after receiving this reward order." β
"The junior who is just quenching the body realm, you want to take the soul and take action personally, are you a three-year-old child in this seat?" the black-robed man sneered, and the space became colder and colder.
"The subordinates don't dare!" he hurriedly lowered his head and explained: "At first, the subordinates didn't dare to make this inference, but later they found that the identity of the person on the bounty order was a little different, and the time was very consistent, so they dared to report to the master." β
"Extraordinary identity, how is it extraordinary?" the black-robed man sneered.
"This person is the Seventh Prince of the Tianyang Dynasty, Yang Yan!"
