Chapter Ninety-Six: The Crystal Palace
During the casual conversation, Gu Zuo was asked about Gu Zuo's plans, and Gu Zuo told him about being rejected by the household division today.
The two darts frowned again and again: "No, Nanzhao has always welcomed and encouraged the opening of Taoist shops, why do you still refuse? Let's go back and inquire and see if Lishui Zhao has adjusted its management policy?"
Yuan Dao Chang grabbed the spirit stone chain around his neck and said, "It can't be because of the matter of Dinghu Gate, right?"
Gu Zuo was still peeking at the authenticity of the original Dao Chang Lingshi chain, wanting to judge whether the other party was really sending it, and when he heard this, he nodded and said: "I think so too, but if the two darts can get more accurate news, of course it is the best, Gu Mou thank you a lot." ”
He didn't have to be Lishui, but he mainly wanted to know if Nanzhao's governance policy had changed.
The original Taoist governor also came here to do business, and now that the matter is done, he said that he planned to do the east at night, and invited Cheng Darttou and Gu Zuo to get together.
When I went back to the room first, I saw Ding Jiugu standing outside the door and waiting.
"Something is wrong with Aunt Jiu?" Gu Zuo asked.
"Immortal Master Gu, we're ready to go. Ding Jiugu lowered her head.
"Didn't you hear Cheng Darthead say they were leaving?" Gu Zuo was a little surprised.
"Zhou Darthead will take us back first, and Cheng Darthead will catch up with us tomorrow. ”
"Okay, then...... Be careful all the way. ”
Ding Jiugu nodded and left hesitantly.
Gu Zuo probably understood her thoughts, and she probably knew that she was going to open a gym during the conversation along the way, so she thought of coming over to help. Such a female boxer with a solid kung fu foundation and familiar with the terroir of Nanzhao, even if she has no practice, is also a good helper for Gu Zuo, who is new to the city.
But Gu Zuo's branch library has not yet been erected, so it is impossible to talk about recruiting people for the time being, not to mention that Ding Jiugu said that she wants to earn money to supplement the family and help her younger brother in the family practice.
It's okay not to say this kind of thing, but if you say it, it will cause some bad associations for Gu Zuo. Because Gu Zuo is very familiar with this, he is not sure whether it is true or not. If you really want to recruit Ding Jiugu into the Taoist Hall to help, you still have to visit in person.
In the evening, Cheng Dart came to knock on the door and invited Gu Zuotong to the banquet.
Gu Zuo followed him out of the Ruyi Inn, walked southeast along Lishui, and then walked through a pine forest and turned into a manor.
More than a dozen courtyards of all sizes in the manor are hung with bright lanterns, connected by galleries, and the courtyards are full of tables, which are already full of friends, all guessing orders and toasting back and forth.
Walking along the gallery zigzags inside, there is a rockery, and at the door stand two sturdy men. Cheng Dart reported his name and surname, and a big man led the way in front and went directly into a cave on the rockery.
Cheng Dart smiled at Gu Zuo and followed in.
Gu Zuo was very curious, could it be that there is a cave in this rockery?
There is really a hole in the rockery, Gu Zuo followed to a forked tunnel, after entering, there is a screen blocking, look carefully, it is actually a whole stone screen, the texture is a natural landscape painting, which shows the luxury of the owner!
Turning the screen, it suddenly opened up in front of me, it was a huge karst cave!
The cave is more than 10 zhang high, more than 30 zhang wide, according to the natural lava divided into a semi-secret box, various colors of colored lights, night pearls are dazzling, the cave is reflected like a dream.
In the middle of the cave is a high platform, where more than a dozen musicians are playing music, and from time to time you can see groups of young girls shuttling back and forth between the corners of various bends.
The sound of laughter, orders, and high-fives came and went, but the volume was just right, neither noisy nor lonely, and I didn't know what magic circle the master had set up here.
When he entered a half-open box, the original chief had already gotten up to greet him, and the big man who led the way saw that the person was right, so he hugged his fists and retreated. Yuan Dao Chang and Cheng Dart Tou hurriedly turned around to send each other, and Gu Zuo couldn't figure out the identity of this big man who guarded the door, so he followed Shi Li.
After taking a seat, Yuan Dao Chang said with a smile: "I have been coming to Lishui for many days, and I have not been able to spare time to come to this crystal palace to eat. ”
Cheng Dart head said: "I also don't come here much, and I have to thank the original owner for his hospitality, otherwise we darts, where do we have the ability to come to the Crystal Palace for recreation, I really envy the original owner." ”
He turned his head to Gu Zuo and said: "Pavilion Master Gu has never been here before, this is the most first-class heaven and earth in Lishui, there is the original Taoist chief to be the east, don't be polite, slaughter him well, haha!"
As soon as he entered the cave and saw those girls walking around, Gu Zuo already roughly understood that this was actually a green building, but this green building was done in a unique style, and it took a lot of thought.
So he praised: "This master really has an idea, and he opened the Qinglou in the cave, which is amazing!"
Yuan Dao Chang smiled and answered: "This Qinglou belongs to Baihuamen, the head is a Jindan high repair, when I came last year, he also made a special trip to accompany me to drink a few glasses, very scheming people." The Qinglou Office is here, in addition to the exquisite conception, it can also avoid the inspection of the Lishui faction, except for regular customers, ordinary people can't enter. Just the one who sent you in just now, Brother Zhuji! Brother Zhuji guards the door, which Qinglou do you go to get this treatment?"
Gu Zuodaqi: "Why do you want to avoid the inspection of the Lishui faction?"
Cheng Darttou explained: "In the edict of Lishui, it is strictly forbidden to ...... Qinglou" pointed his finger upward, "You understand, hehe." ”
Gu Zuo suddenly realized that the three lords of Lishui Zhao were all female cultivators, and many of the backbones under the seat were also women, and even Gu Zuo's Fa Si Sun, who was about to visit the army without knowing the situation at first, heard that she was also a Jindan nun and a great master of Jindan consummation. With such an edict, can you expect Qinglou to be legal?
Yuan Dao Chang smiled and reassured: "Don't be afraid, Baihuamen has some doorways, and it is extremely secretive here, and those diners who don't know are covering for us outside, haha." Alright, let's get seated!"
Under the high-five, a bustard girl with flowers and branches immediately came, followed by a row of young girls, wearing different styles of belly pockets and wearing green yarn.
The old bustard smiled and said: "Yuan Dao Chief, I haven't been here for a long time, and I have forgotten the slave family! This is a new disciple of the outer sect, let's see if a few distinguished guests want to open the sect and recruit disciples?"
A row of young ladies said in unison: "I've seen all the elders!"
The original Taoist waved his hand boldly: "Pavilion Master Gu is coming to Lishui for the first time, and we will accept the inner disciples for double cultivation!"
The old bustard sat on the long leg of the original road and complimented: "The original road chief has made a fortune, just waiting for you to take care of it!" smiled and took the girls down.
What elder, what outer disciple, what inner disciple? Gu Zuo was confused.
The Cheng Dart head next to him introduced that the Crystal Palace divides female prostitutes into three categories, ordinary women are outer disciples, female cultivators in the Qi refining period are inner disciples, and in addition, there is the highest level, which is the female cultivator of Zhuji, and there is also a name for finding this kind of female prostitute, called Bai Shi.
Gu Zuo laughed when he heard it, and after laughing, he couldn't help but be curious, is there really a female cultivator doing this?
In his expectant and curious gaze, the bustard brought six more girls over, still with a belly pocket and tulle, but with a wide xia veil outside, which was even more graceful and noble.
Gu Zuo was suddenly shocked, he didn't need to be introduced by the bustard mother, he already clearly sensed in the sea of qi, these six were all monks!
At the urging of the original Daoist, Gu Zuo pointed to a slender and tall female cultivator, who smiled slightly and said, "Meet the teacher." He sat beside Gu Zuo generously and helped him pour wine.
Cheng Dart Head was more direct than Gu Zuo, pulled the selected nun to his lap and took a sip, hugged him to let him serve the food, but the original Taoist had already started to feed each other wine.
Let the female cultivator accompany him to drink flower wine, he really hasn't seen this situation in the Central Plains!
