Chapter 13: Strange Tales of the Castle
The second day of the eighth lunar month is the early autumn season.
Although it has entered autumn, the breath of summer has not yet left and continues into early autumn.
The city has always been prosperous, and when night falls, a number of green buildings begin to operate with their lights in hand, and the excitement has just begun in this city.
The new Oiran of the Drunken Spring Pavilion is full of charm and graceful style, and now it has set off a storm all over the city and captured the hearts of all men.
From the 60-year-old to the teenage, all of them were impressed by his beauty and style.
When the moon is in the sky, it is a good day before the moon is flowered.
Oiran called 'Feng Niang', and there was an aerial stage specially set up for her in the Zuichun Building.
Feng Niang wore a rose-red tulle skirt, the place that should be covered was just right, and the exposed place was looming, and the temptation was just right.
Feng Niang was dressed in red silk, falling from the sky, the long silk was flying, dancing with the wind, dancing.
The dancing is graceful and extremely charming, which makes the hearts of the men present soar, haunted by dreams, and fascinated.
A dance of the Heavenly Maiden is over, and Feng Niang ended today's performance.
After a moment of silence, there was an overwhelming noise, the sharp screeching of stools sliding across the floor.
There are various male quarrels in different vocal ranges.
This is the time for them to start bidding, and whoever has the most money tonight will be able to enter the Oiran's room and have the beautiful woman alone for the night.
The person who finally obtained this qualification, without exception, was the head of the Zhang family, named Zhang Tao, who had been successful for nearly half a month.
In the wing room on the top floor, Feng Niang climbed on Zhang Tao's shoulder and said softly: "The son is really deeply rooted in the slave family, for half a month, he spent a lot of money for the slave family, how do you say the slave family should repay you." ”
Zhang Tao took Feng Niang's weak and boneless little hand, and kneaded it repeatedly in his hand: "Baby, you just need to serve me well at night, and it's better than anything else." ”
"Ever since I met you, baby, I have only known for the first time that money is a good thing, and now I feel that the grievances I suffered in the past to get money are too worthwhile."
He remembered that in the past, in order to climb the high branch of his own lady, he had pretended to be a grandson for a long time.
He has been pretending to be obedient and sensible for more than ten years, and he has been diligent and attentive to please his daughter-in-law's family, and now he has finally come out.
Feng Niang said delicately: "You spend your lady's money like this, what should she do if she finds out?" Will it kick you out, or you should come to me less in the future, it's really too expensive. ”
These words sound very intimate, and the words are all about men.
After hearing these words, if you are a man, your heart will soften and you will cherish the person in front of you even more.
"Baby, you are so caring, much better than the yellow-faced woman in my house, you don't have to worry about me."
"Now I am the head of the family, although I made a fortune from her mother's family in the early years, but now everything is up to me, and I have the final say on all the big and small things in the family."
Feng Niang smiled sweetly with a gentle and delicate smile on her face, disdainful in her heart, what she said was so good, didn't she still dare to redeem her and take her back to her original wife to see?
Zhang Tao pulled Feng Niang to the bedside: "It's time for the two of us, so don't talk about these beautiful topics." ”
He took the lead in sitting on the bed, and then pulled Feng Niang into his arms, and raised Feng Niang's chin with one hand.
"Anyway, I can't wait to live with you every day, how can I come less."
Feng Niang gently patted his hand away, climbed his shoulder and said:
"That's good, since Zhang Gongzi can't do without the slave family like this, it's better to stay forever."
Feng Niang changed her gentle pretentiousness just now, and her voice returned to a normal voice, but her voice was soft, and it did not attract the attention of the man who was stunned at this moment.
Zhang Tao also said proudly: "That's really unwanted." ”
Feng Niang straightened Zhang Tao's posture and let the other party look at herself.
Zhang Tao sank into the other party's affectionate eyes, smiled obsessively, and waited for Feng Niang to take the initiative to kiss him.
But she didn't notice the suspicious black gas coming out of Feng Niang's eyes.
Qiandui and his party came to an inn in Yacheng.
The one who came to hand over was a young disciple of the Spring Peak of the Cangchen Mountain Sect, who looked like sixteen or seventeen, and looked a few years older than Mao Zheng.
"Senior Brother Qiandu, Senior Brother Pei Jiu, Senior Sister Qi Nuo, and this beautiful Senior Sister, I don't know what to call it?"
"Zhan Lu" Zhan Lu replied lightly.
"Okay, Senior Sister Zhanlu."
Wen Tingyue had never seen Zhan Lu, so she politely called Senior Sister.
Everyone waited to hear the text, so they didn't say anything to correct it.
"Senior Brother Pei Lan, Senior Nephew Mao Zheng."
Everyone waited for him to finish saying hello honestly, and Liu Qinuo, who was anxious, was about to be irritable.
"Who are you, hurry up and get down to business." Liu Qinuo urged impatiently.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the fifth closed disciple of the head of Spring Peak, my name is Wen Tingyue, you can just call me Tingyue."
As for why it was the fifth, it was because his master had said that he had accepted a closed disciple five years ago, but when he met a good seedling the next year, his master couldn't hold back and accepted another closed disciple.
Then there was the second closed disciple, and then he met a good seedling, and it lasted for five years, and he was the fifth closed disciple.
Wen Tingyue was not in a hurry, slowly finished introducing herself, and saw that Liu Qinuo was eager to whip him, so she quickly entered the report.
"I've been here to investigate for almost a month, and during this period, a total of three people have disappeared in Yaocheng, originally two of them, and another one disappeared last night, named Zhang Tao."
"Someone saw him come out of the Drunken Spring Pavilion at the fourth watch last night, go home, and suddenly disappeared when he was about to reach the door."
"That person is a gentleman who also likes to be nostalgic for fireworks and is familiar with Zhang Tao."
"Suddenly gone? What's the vanishing method? Liu Qinuo asked a question that everyone was puzzled about, how did he disappear.
"Well, according to the man, last night, he saw Zhang Tao, who also returned from a good night, and originally planned to come forward to say hello and make a few jokes."
As a result, before he walked to Zhang Tao's side, he saw that Zhang Tao was gone, and suddenly there was no one where Zhang Tao was.
When he said that, he was much more exaggerated than Wen Tingyue, his voice was full of words, and his words were not logical, so he seemed to be frightened.
The man also said that he saw a ghost in the middle of the night, thinking that what he saw last night was Zhang Tao's ghost.
Wen Tingyue continued:
"Last night, I felt that there was a fluctuation of demonic qi in the southwest direction, and just like that, I swallowed my saliva, and then I couldn't sense it anymore."
"Zhang Tao's home is also in the southwest, and when I went to investigate this morning, there was no trace of demonic energy left there, and it was clean."
Wen Tingyue made a summary after speaking: "Several, this is the case, our investigation team will retreat tomorrow, and the follow-up will be handed over to you." ”
When someone sends a commission to the Cangchen Mountain Sect, the sect will first send the disciples of Spring Peak stationed near the mission location to deal with it.
Because they are stationed nearby, it will be more timely to arrive at the mission location.
They will prioritize whether the incident is man-made or demonic.
Some events may seem mysterious, but in fact they are man-made. In this case, they only explain the situation to the people of the government, and will not interfere, and the people of the government will solve it themselves.
There are also a few incidents where people and demons cooperate, and in this case, they will cooperate with the government to solve them. They get rid of demons, and the government deals with people.
After making sure that it was the demons who did it, they could deal with it, and it would be solved quickly.
If they can't handle it, they will report it to the sect, and then send other disciples to come.
The only thing that is special is that it is ensured that the people of Autumn Peak will handle it when it comes to monsters, whether they are complex or simple, whether they can handle it or not.
If the disciples of other peaks are interested in the event, they can participate in the process of handling the event.
This is the obsession of Elder Qiu Zhifeng, and the head of the family takes special care of it.
And before waiting for the people of Autumn Peak to come and deal with it, what they have to do is to investigate clearly and try to protect innocent civilians as much as possible.
It's just that the demons are inherently difficult to deal with, and they can't be foolproof, and they can't ensure that no one is injured after they intervene.
It's not just civilians who may have casualties, even cultivators like them may not be able to escape in one piece
