Volume 1 Disaster Linggen Pill Chapter 040 Breaking into the Qinglou at night
Li Kun followed Shang Xiaodie to his destination, thinking wildly.
He had never seen a ghost before, so he was both curious and slightly frightened, but this mood was also quite exciting, so that he unconsciously sweated.
Shang Xiaodie said that with the Tianyan Talisman, you can see ghosts, and Li Kun now has the Tianyan Talisman on his body, so walking in this wilderness at this time, there is a strange feeling in his heart, as if there are ghosts hidden nearby peeping at him, and that feeling is very weird.
Li Kun followed Shang Xiaodie all the way, secretly looking around to see if there was really a ghost in sight. However, along the way, I saw that I was about to enter the city, but I didn't see any ghosts.
It's actually a very uncomfortable feeling. Li Kun decided in his heart that after tonight, he couldn't put the Heavenly Eye Talisman on his body, otherwise, it would seriously affect his normal life.
Li Kun's strange expression finally caught Shang Xiaodie's attention, and Shang Xiaodie said in a reassuring tone, "Don't be afraid, it's okay to be here."
Naturally, you can't show cowardice in front of the little girl, this is the dignity of a man, Li Kun hurriedly pretended to be calm and said, "I'm not afraid." β
"You're sweating out. After all, Shang Xiaodie is a little girl, and she doesn't know how to save face for boys, so she immediately pointed out Li Kun's disguise.
Li Kun smiled awkwardly and argued, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's because I feel weird." I never thought I'd see a ghost before, but now that I have an eye-opening charm on my body, I always feel like there's a ghost peeping nearby. This feeling is really unpleasant, and I am really not afraid. β
Shang Xiaodie also smiled and said, "I used to feel this way when I first started using the eye-opening charm, but now I can get used to it." In fact, the ghosts wandering in the mortal world are an outlier after all, so the number is limited, and even fewer are in densely populated places. In addition, when you see a lot, you get used to it, just like the people you see everywhere now, they don't attract your attention and discomfort. It's the same if you're used to seeing ghosts. This is actually a psychological effect. β
Li Kun nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense." β
As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the town.
At this time, it was the first night, the street was quite deserted, there were few pedestrians, the shops along the street were closed, and only the small food and beverage shops were still open to customers.
Shang Xiaodie said to Li Kun as she walked forward, "Lixiangyuan is in the city, and it's still a little way from here. β
Li Kun hurriedly asked, "What about the little ghost?"
Shang Xiaodie said, "I don't know where he is at this time, but he has to go outside the Lixiang Courtyard every night after midnight." So we don't have to go to him, just wait for him in Rikain. β
"When do you want to have a child?" Li Kun couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "It's still early, I don't want to stay in a place like Lixiangyuan for long." Or we'll go back later. β
Shang Xiaodie said, "What are you afraid of? Qinglou has a nightlife, and the first half of the night is basically eating and drinking and listening to music, and it will not be until the second half of the nightββ"
When Shang Xiaodie said this, she couldn't help blushing, and then spit on the ground, then directly skipped the content that was inappropriate for children, and changed her words: "Besides, I heard that Na Liniang is quite beautiful, and the turnover rate is extremely high, if you go late, I'm afraid that it won't be your turn at all, and it will be difficult to get close to her at that time." β
Li Kun naturally has no experience in this, but he can understand Shang Xiaodie's last sentence, and he understands that if he goes late, it will be troublesome for someone else to take the lead, so he won't compete with others, right?
At a young age, he waded into the Qinglou at night, and for Li Kun, who had a very strict family education, it was already difficult to go to the Qinglou as a last resort.
Li Kun didn't dare to think about the consequences, regretting that he was still too reckless, and agreed to Shang Xiaodie on impulse. But now it's ready to go and have to send it. You can only bite the bullet.
Rika-in is located in the most prosperous part of the city, but it itself is located in an extremely deep courtyard. In the distance, you can hear the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, as well as the sound of drinking and laughing.
Before arriving at the courtyard gate, Shang Xiaodie refused to move forward, and said to Li Kun with a red face: "Li Gongzi, I'll wait here, you can go." Please. β
Li Kun naturally felt uncomfortable with the faint sound of filth and lewd music, and naturally knew that such a place was indeed not suitable for Shang Xiaodie, so he nodded. But he asked worriedly, "Then how do I know that the little ghost is coming, and how will we communicate and interact with each other when the time comes?"
Shang Xiaodie said ashamedly, "If you don't say it, I really forgot." It's important, but it's simple, and if you hear a dog barking in many places, it's a ghost. β
Li Kun asked puzzledly, "Why is this happening?"
Shang Xiaodie said, "Dogs can see ghosts, because ghosts are resentful spirits, and dogs can naturally feel them. Dogs will instinctively bark as soon as they smell danger. β
I see!
Li Kun took a deep breath to calm his nervous mood a little, then nodded at Shang Xiaodie, and strode towards Lixiangyuan with the mentality of a righteous man going to die.
Lixiangyuan is the largest and most famous green building in Xianju Town, there are four independent small buildings in it, which are called "Apricot Building", "Plum Building", "Orchid Building" and "Pear Building". The old bustard divided the women of Lixiangyuan into four categories according to their temperament and placed them in these four small buildings. And each small building has a top woman as a faΓ§ade.
Although this Xianju town is not big, there are many merchants from the south to the north, and the residents of this Xianju town are people from the mountains and wilderness, and the people have always been fierce and uninhibited, and they like wine and lust. Therefore, the business of the green house here is very good, and every night, when the lights are on, this pear incense courtyard is like a festival, and it seems to attract the wild spirit of the whole town.
Li Kun came to the gate of Lixiangyuan and saw a high open courtyard gate, with a dark red plaque pasted on the lintel, on which the words "Lixiangyuan" were written. I don't know which merry literati came from the hand, these three words are extremely elegant, faintly revealing a charming and flirtatious atmosphere, which makes people feel a sense of blood gushing when they see it.
On top of the two open iron doors, there are two portraits of Zhong Kui. That Zhong Kuihuan's eyes widened angrily, holding a steel fork in his hand, stepping on the evil ghost, very fierce and vicious, and the soft and beautiful atmosphere exuded in this pear fragrance courtyard was extremely incongruous. I don't know what the bustard means.
Li Kun naturally didn't think much about it, because the little turtle slave who had already greeted the door nodded and greeted him.
The little turtle slave was no more than Li Kun's age, but his welcoming attitude was very sophisticated and smooth.
"Childe, it's the first time you've come to Xianju Town to make a fortune, right? However, you are satisfied with the custody today, and I will never forget about us again, and I will definitely come back next time. β
The little turtle slave chattered endlessly, trying his best to please him.
Li Kun was impatient and frowned: "There is a lot of nonsense. β
The little turtle slave was slightly stunned for a moment, but immediately burst out laughing again, and immediately let Li Kun in. While leading Li Kun into the hall of a building in the middle of the courtyard, he said: "Childe, please don't worry, because you are here for the first time, Xiao Ke has to introduce our girl here to you, so that Childe can choose." β
Li Kun walked into the hall and saw that the hall was not big, only a few seats, but there was no one inside.
Li Kun didn't know what to do, so he looked at the little turtle slave.
The little turtle slave smiled and said: "Don't worry, Childe, this is the place where our Lixiang Courtyard receives first-time guests, Xiao Ke will give you a detailed introduction to our girl here, only if Childe understands it, it's easy to choose, isn't it?"
I see, Li Kun roughly understood. It seems that most of the people who come here are regular customers, which is why this reception room is so empty.
Li Kun originally wanted to waste time here, but thinking of Shang Xiaodie's instructions, he was worried that Liniang would be chosen by others, so he didn't dare to delay, so he didn't listen to the nagging of this little turtle slave, and said directly: "I heard that you have a person named Liniang here, and my son came to find her on purpose." β
"It turns out that Childe is looking for Liniang. β
The little turtle slave looked at Li Kun with quite strange eyes, presumably he was thinking in his heart, this son came to the Qinglou at a young age, which is rare, but he doesn't want a young girl, he wants half of the old, this taste is heavy enough.
Of course, because of professional ethics, the little turtle slave will definitely not make fun of Li Kun, nor will he interfere and evaluate the preferences of the guests.
"What, is there any problem?" Li Kun saw that the little turtle slave had a different expression, and naturally he didn't know what he was thinking, so he deliberately sank his face and asked unhappily.
The little turtle slave was so clever, he suddenly realized that he had lost his mouth, and hurriedly smiled: "Where, where, Xiao but surprised that the son also knew the name of Li Niang." Liniang is indeed the most popular girl we have here. However, unfortunately, the son was a step late, and Liniang already had a gold owner. β
"Gold master?" Li Kun heard of this name for the first time, but he still understood the meaning, that is, Li Niang already had a prostitute tonight.
What Shang Xiaodie was worried about still happened, Li Kun suddenly panicked, is it really going to stage the plot of the battle for the girl in the fence tonight? Li Kun didn't dare to think about it, at this time, he didn't dare to show it, and forced to calm down.
The little turtle slave thought that Li Kun didn't understand the meaning of the gold master, so he explained: "We call the guests who have booked the girl the gold master. β
Scheduled!
That means the guests haven't come yet?
Li Kun heard these key information, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked: "You mean that Li Niang was just booked?
The little turtle slave nodded, "Yes." β
After confirming this key information, Li Kun suddenly perked up and hurriedly said, "In that case, can you let me meet Liniang first?"
Li Kun thought so in his heart, he didn't really come to have fun, he was just passing the news to Liniang, in this case, as long as he could see her, he could say a few words alone.
The little turtle slave made a difficulty, although this change of gold owner is rare, but it is not uncommon. However, Qinglou never dares to call the shots without authorization, and the key to this depends on the strength between the two gold owners. It is often the previous financier who is forced to give up automatically due to the strength of the later financier. In this way, the previous owner of the gold can't blame the old bustard of the Qinglou.
Although the little turtle slave understood the Tao inside, this was obviously beyond his handling authority, and he didn't dare to make decisions on his own. At the same time, he didn't know Li Kun's details, and he didn't dare to offend him. Because, in his opinion, people of Li Kun's age, who dare to come to Qinglou, must be the children of a big family, such children not only have a prominent family background, but also have bad habits. Otherwise, how could he come to the Qinglou for recreation at such a young age?
Where can he afford to offend such a person? Maybe he will beat him up if he doesn't agree with him, but in this Lixiangyuan, don't expect the bustard to defend him, the bustard only has money in his eyes.
Thinking of this, the little turtle slave served Li Kun more and more carefully, for fear that he would suddenly start the young master's temper, and said with a smile: "Childe, this is something that Xiao Ke can't do, otherwise, please wait, Xiao Ke will go and invite his mother to come, and his mother will definitely satisfy his son." β
Li Kun had to nod in agreement.
As if he had been granted amnesty, the little turtle slave hurriedly ran out to find the bustard.
