The cold night has passed, and the dawn has arrived.

A deserted outskirts of Baoqi Town.

A few lush trees surrounded the tangled branches, and Chen Fusheng opened his eyes.

After many years of traveling with the old Taoist priest in the mountains and rivers, he has developed the habit of sleeping peacefully whenever and wherever he wants.

Take off the cloak you are wearing and fold it and put it in your backpack.

Chen Fusheng stretched his limbs and jumped to the ground from between the branches.

Then it's time to collect the dew, wash your teeth and face, and tidy yourself.

Next, it is the morning practice that is engraved in the bones.

Chen Fusheng sat cross-legged under the tree and began to run the traditional method of Daomen.

The so-called one breath and one breath contain heaven and earth, exhale the essence of mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon.

Time passed slowly.

After Chen Fusheng finished the morning vomit, his heart couldn't help but turn his thoughts.

"I heard Master once say that cultivators in the world have realms. ”

"It seems to be called 'One Realm Disciple', 'Second Realm Fadi', 'Three Realm Dinglu', 'Four Realm Grandmaster', 'Five Realm Spiritual Officer'......"

What is the realm after that, Chen Fusheng has never heard the old Taoist priest say.

"Master should be the peak of the Three Realms, and I am still a disciple of the First Realm at the moment......"

"I don't know what the method of realm promotion is. ”

Since Chen Fusheng had not yet become a teacher, and because of his congenital deficiencies, the old Taoist priest did not say much about the realm before he was eighteen years old, but only taught him to hone his foundation.

When Chen Fusheng finally turned eighteen, the old Taoist priest died again......

"Let's solve the matter of Chaochun Lou picking up Jiang Ni first, and then talk about it, the master is now unstable, and it is estimated that there is not much time, so we have to hurry up!"

Chen Fusheng finished his practice, carried his sword on his back, and strode towards the post station outside the town.

......

......

Hongjia Ancient Road.

This place is one of the junctions between the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Southern Chu.

It is also one of the most famous ancient roads.

Only because the Eastern Tang Dynasty is eastern, the environment is slightly dry, while the Southern Chu is southerly, and the climate is humid. Hundreds of miles to the south, this place is the most famous "Panyang Great Lake" on the border of Southern Chu.

For many reasons, there are often celestial phenomena in this place, such as the rainbow through the sky, the glow of the glow and so on.

Under the praise of the literati and scholars, this place was named Hongjia Ancient Road.

It also has the meaning of being comparable to "Panyang Great Lake".

Although the name of the place is beautiful, it has been one of the necessary routes for the two countries to fight throughout the ages. After the fierce battle on the battlefield many years ago, there is still blood under the soil here.

Even so, the Hongjia Ancient Road is geographically advantageous, and there are many traders coming and going. Therefore, the Eastern Tang Dynasty set up a post here, whether it is the transfer of military aircraft intelligence or the reception of business travel, there is no delay.

Baoqi Town is not far from the Hongjia Ancient Road, about more than ten miles. Because of this, the government of Xuwu Prefecture acquiesced to the jurisdiction of the ancient town and the ancient road at the same place and regarded it as one.

Chaochun Tower is the most famous and prosperous place on the ancient road.

It not only provides food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also performs in theaters and theaters to welcome guests, and the real voice and color are available. Business travelers and high-rollers are all lingering because of this.

The morning dawn passed, and just as it was time, there were gradually more people on the ancient road.

Chen Fusheng carried a banner and a sword, and appeared on the side of the road, looking at the scene ahead.

In a large open field, there are flowers, grass, stones and water, and there are thatched huts or pavilions, which surround a large courtyard of high-rise buildings.

As far as the eye can see, the traffic is busy, thriving and noisy.

"Chaochun Building", the gilded big characters fly the banner and hang high on the top.

Chen Fusheng watched for a moment, and immediately stepped over.

When you get closer, you can see that this high-rise courtyard not only covers a wide area, but also is beautifully decorated, not like the simplicity of the ordinary countryside, and is unique and ancient.

High-rise buildings are lined up, and the ground floor is a restaurant, a post station, a warehouse and other venues.

After that, it is the place of pleasure, and the flying pavilions are vivid.

Chen Fusheng went straight through the bottom floor and went around to the rear.

After a while, a little boy in a green hat came forward with a smile on his face:

"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel, or listen to music and have fun?"

Chen Fusheng thought for a while and said:

"I've heard that a geisha has a good reputation, and I've come here today to meet him. ”

The little guy in the green hat showed an expression that I understood, and said with a smile:

"If the guest officer has a good girl, the little one will take you there. ”

While speaking, he walked forward with Chen Fusheng, and said:

"We are in Chaochun Building, there are Qingfang, Red Pavilion, and Le Pavilion, I don't know which one the guest officer wants to go to?"

Chen Fusheng didn't know what green and red meant, and said in a deep voice:

"I only know that the geisha's real name is Jiang Ni......"

Before the words fell, the little guy suddenly kept arching his hand and said:

"It turned out to be the benefactor of the owner of Jiang Fang! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, forgive me!"

I didn't expect Jiang Ni's reputation to be so great...... Chen Fusheng was silent.

Bypassing the pillars, the little maid introduced an old bustard again, and then nodded and left.

When the old bustard saw that there was a young and handsome little Taoist priest in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. But she has been through the wind for a long time, her eyes and face changed instantly, and she smiled and gave a salute:

"Guest officer, Jiang Fang has a lot of rules in the court, I'm afraid I have taken the liberty of the guest officer. We also have many red-card girls in Chaochun Building, which can be introduced to the guest officers, and it is definitely worth the trip!"

Chen Fusheng frowned secretly.

This means, Jiang Ni is not a person who can be seen casually?

He didn't say much, and with a flip of his wrist, a gold ingot fell between his fingers and was thrown to the bustard.

The old Taoist priest has been subduing demons and destroying ghosts for decades, and there has never been a shortage of gold and silver in the mortal world. Although Chen Fusheng and Master seem to be poor, this is because of cultivation, not poverty.

The old bustard took the gold ingot, and as soon as he buttoned his nails, he knew that it was full of real gold, and immediately smiled and piled up:

"The guest officer is so bold, and the concubine doesn't know how to raise it anymore. Come, the guest officer please, the concubine will lead the way for you. ”

Then the two of them went upstairs, bypassed the verandah, and came to a quiet, beautiful attic. Immediately, another pretty maid came forward.

The old bustard asked, smiled a few more words, and then left.

The maid looked at Chen Fusheng with big eyes a few times, and asked with a smile:

"This guest ...... Public...... Xiaodao Chief, do you know the owner of my Jiang family?"

Until this moment, Chen Fusheng already had some doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that Jiang Ni is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and he was sold to Chaochun Building, how could he have such a big reputation and pomp?

The gold ingots that were thrown to the bustard before, don't say that they are seeing a girl, even if they buy a few girls, it is not a few.

Unexpectedly, in front of this door, he was stopped and asked.

The attitude seems friendly, but there is still a feeling of rejection.

Chen Fusheng still didn't say much, turned his palm, and once again showed a gold ingot, and threw it in the maid's hand.

But the pretty little maid remained silent at all, took the gold ingot, and still said:

"Xiaodao Chief, the rules of my Jiang Fang owner never care about gold and silver. If you know the owner, the little girl can say goodbye. As for whether to see or not, the little woman can't make the decision. ”

"If you don't know my owner, then I'm afraid the owner won't see you. Please forgive me!"

As he spoke, his white fingers were handed out, wanting to return the gold ingot to Chen Fusheng.

It's kind of interesting......

Chen Fusheng groaned slightly and said:

"I'm your owner's teacher......"

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a sigh in my heart.

According to the generation, Jiang Ni is the master's own sister, isn't that my aunt?

Originally, I wanted to say that I was the senior brother of the owner...... It looks like it's going to be a generation......

Chen Fusheng was secretly a little embarrassed, so he had to say:

"You said that I was related to the master of Jiang Fang, and I was a fellow ......."

Although this sentence is a bit nondescript, after all, Jiang Ni is not a cultivator, but Chen Fusheng is not easy to speak, saying that it is Jiang Ni's nephew......

But unexpectedly, when the maid heard this, she was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Fusheng again, and nodded a little abruptly:

"Okay, the Taoist chief will wait a moment, and the little woman will go to Tongyu immediately. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked in through the small door on the side.

Chen Fusheng stood quietly in front of the attic.

But after a while, the maid smiled and groaned, and said:

"The owner of the workshop is invited, the Taoist chief, please come with the little girl!"

As he spoke, he turned around and brushed the attic door with his palm, pushing it open.

A faint and fragrant fragrance strikes people.

The décor in the loft is very elegant, plain but not luxurious.

Bypassing the screen at the front, the maid took Chen Fusheng to the inner compartment and took a seat, and then Shi Li left.

Chen Fusheng was patient, sitting in front of the jade white table, looking around.

It can be seen that the decoration of this inner chamber is more plain, and there are not many furnishings.

A few simple pieces of furniture, bonsai of flowers and plants, desks, ink cases, hangers, etc. In addition to this, there is also a gauze curtain to separate the inside.

It's just that there are a few colorful images hanging on the walls, and the painting is exquisite.

Chen Fusheng condensed his half-blind eyes, and finally saw clearly that the paintings seemed to be painted with fluttering women.

And the painting does not look like a human scene, it seems that there is a hell, the heavens, and the wonders of mountains and seas.

The brushwork is wanton and extremely subtle, depicting an unusual picture.
