Jianxiu Mountain goes north for 800 miles, passing through the land of two prefectures and three counties, there is a big mountain called Zixian Mountain, which is located in Shi'an County, Longmen Prefecture, only more than 200 miles away from Longmen Mansion, what ordinary people don't know is that it is also an important mountain gate of Tianle Sect.

Speaking of Tianle Sect, it also originated from Taoism. There are countless branches on the side of the Daomen, such as the Qingwei Sect proficient in the way of forging swords and swords, like the Zhengyi Sect proficient in the way of fire and thunder runes, like the Shenxiao Sect proficient in the way of wind and thunder Danding, like the Taiping Sect proficient in the way of divination, such as the Soap Pavilion Sect proficient in the way of raising ghosts and raising corpses, and like the Yin and Yang Sect proficient in the way of Yin and Yang Weiwei.

In addition, there is also a room in the door, which is similar to the joy of Buddhism, and is inherited by the Lady Sect and the Tianle Sect respectively. Compared with the two, the Lady Sect is more expensive but not more expensive, but the Tianle Sect is a little inferior, more expensive but not more expensive, and runs the skin and meat business, also known as the prostitute.

If you compare the two to doing business, the Lady Sect will not open for three years, and it will be open for three years, while the Tianle Sect will have small profits and quick turnover, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, but it is still the Lady Sect that is more expensive.

Because Tianle Sect wants to run the skin and meat business, he has no fixed residence, and the mountain gate is changeable, suddenly in Liaodong, suddenly in Qizhou, suddenly in Jiangnan, and now in Zhongzhou, in this Zixian Mountain.

It is not so much that Zixian Mountain is the mountain gate of Tianle Sect, but that it is a huge courtyard in itself, even more so than prosperous places such as Jiangnan and Dijing.

The so-called courtyard is a place of wind and moon, but it is different from the ordinary fireworks places such as Qinglou Golan, and the courtyard generally only accepts dignitaries and wealthy businessmen.

The courtyard can be roughly divided into three classes.

The first-class courtyard occupies a huge area, almost no different from the mansion of officials and wealthy merchants, there is a hole in it, the courtyard is deep, quiet and elegant, the women are mostly beautiful, there is no lack of Oiran characters, and there are more Qing people who are proficient in the rhythm of writing and ink, in addition to a group of prostitute women, there are musicians, tailors, craftsmen, There are countless servants, so that people can stay in it without leaving home, but they have everything, so many rich sons will linger in it, and even lose all the family property and replace it with an ordinary green building.

The interior of the courtyard is divided into countless single-family courtyards, many powerful people will comb a powder here, and charter a single-family courtyard, but it is not all for the enjoyment of women, after all, those who come and go here are either rich or expensive, and there are never indispensable wives and concubines.

Compared with the first class, the second class is not much different in the elegant grade, and even exceeded, but the scale is inferior, mostly in the form of private houses or painting boats, many famous prostitutes do not want to be subject to the control of the bustard, that is, to set up their own door, or as a layman, or as a Taoist priest, as a cover, usually just to receive regular customers.

For example, the fish-named prostitute who often sang and sang poetry with the literati of the world, was originally from an official family, after the fall of the family, because of her beauty and moving, her body was exquisite and moving, so she was favored by the court and accepted as a concubine.

As for the last class, it is not in the stream, although there are also singing, drinking, playing chess, playing tea and other means of accompanying guests, but there are many more fireworks and worldliness, and there is less of a lot of quiet and elegant atmosphere, it is a place that celebrities and gentlemen disdain to go, and most of them are patronized by ordinary rich businessmen and poor sour scholars from small households.

The whole Zixian Mountain is a huge courtyard, as early as the Ming Yong period, Tianle Sect came here, spent countless manpower and financial resources, hollowed out the belly of the entire Zixian Mountain, and built a super first-class courtyard in it, which is almost a small city, in addition to the prostitute women under the Tianle Sect and all kinds of musicians, tailors, craftsmen, servants, there are only various dignitary guests.

These guests, some from Da Wei and some from Da Zhou, each hid their identities and lived in the same room.

The master here is like a king who stands on his own, and is known as the "Tianle Sect Master" and the "Purple Immortal King".

This huge courtyard was named "Heavenly Paradise" by him.

As the name suggests, this place is a paradise for guests from all over the world, but for those who are suffering, it is a place that can be entered but not exited, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out. The women here come from a variety of backgrounds, some were ruthlessly sold by their parents because of the poverty of their families, some were abducted and trafficked, and there are even rumors that many heroines and fairies on the rivers and lakes were also poisoned by Tianle Sect and were tied up here. No matter what kind of origin you come from, after coming here, you will only have one identity, and it will be difficult to see the light of day in this life.

As for how to enter the "Tianle Taoyuan", there are different opinions on the rivers and lakes, there is no definite answer, but one thing is certain, unless it is a real big man, others want to enter it, they have to rely on the people of Tianle Sect to guide the way, walk through a long tunnel, in order to enter the belly of the mountain, here day and night, hang lanterns and burn lamps and candles innumerable, look around, pavilions are stacked on top of each other, the corridor is connected with the corridor, all the lights are brilliant, look around, a piece of red, and is known as the city of no day and the city that never sleeps.

Therefore, there is a saying on the rivers and lakes that there are four cities in Zhongzhou, one is the Longmen Divine Capital City, one is the Beibi Ghost City, one is the Zhongyue Buddha City, and the other is the city that never sleeps.

The so-called Shendu City refers to the capital city of Longmen Mansion, and it is also the state city of Zhongzhou, which has been inherited for thousands of years, and is the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties; the ghost city of Beipi refers to the mountain gate of the Soap Pavilion Sect in the depths of the Beibi Mountain, standing majestically between the tombs and mausoleums of countless emperors, feeding ghosts and raising corpses, almost like the Yin Cao of the Xudu City; as for the Buddha City of Zhongyue, it is located on the top of Zhongyue, the ancestral court of Buddhism is located in Jingzen Temple, the Jingzen Temple is big, a total of 1,000 palaces, among which there are three nine-storey buildings, the outer city of the Red Mountain is threefold, looking at it from afar, countless temples are stacked on top of each other, like the city, so it is called again"Buddha City".

"Heavenly Paradise" can be compared with the other three cities, even if it is ranked last, it can also be seen.

It is also because of the "paradise" that Shi'an County, which was not prosperous in recent years, has become a county with abundant oil and water from a county that no one likes to come to, although because there are a lot of powerful people here, the oil and water here are a little hot, but they can't stand people dying for money, birds are dying for food, and there are still many people who are willing to spend money and bother to find a relationship, and want to come here to be the last magistrate.

This county town is mixed, so the city gate inspection is very strict, in the sparse flow of people there is a woman riding a donkey, the figure is quite slender, a short dress of a Jianghu person, wearing a hat.

She handed out a road to the guards, and after confirming that the sturdy young soldier in armor was correct, he glanced at the woman, and saw that her appearance was ugly, and her facial features were swollen, like a water ghost that had been soaked in water, which made people lose their appetite.

The face of the city guard showed a look of disgust, and even the original intention of wanting to rub oil was completely gone, and he secretly cursed in his heart. He stretched out his hand again and patted the blanket hanging on the donkey's back, and when he saw that there was no hard thing of gold or iron, he did not embarrass her too much and let her go. Nowadays, there is a group of Qingluanwei uncles in the city, and the old men in the county government, whether it is the county lord or the second lord of the county, who are not carefully serving, for fear of annoying these fierce gods with orders on their bodies, they don't dare to make trouble at will.

After entering the city, the street obviously became lively, the woman led the donkey and walked unhurriedly, a few idle green-skinned scoundrels were standing on the side of the street, their eyes kept looking at the passers-by, seeing such a lonely weak woman, they looked at each other and smiled, they wanted to go forward to do something wrong, and they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the woman just looked towards them, when they saw the woman's honor, they were immediately startled, scolded a bad luck, and then had no previous thoughts.

The woman was already accustomed to this, raised her hand and pressed the brim of the hat, and continued to lead the donkey forward.
