Chapter 33: Flowers on the first floor
"This barrier should be what the master called the divide. ”
At this time, Lian Yi and Peng Bei were squatting on top of an ancient tree in front of the gate of a courtyard, and in front of them, there was a transparent spiritual power fluctuation, more precisely, it should be a circle, enclosing this half of the city in the north city tightly.
"This should be a formation similar to the Dragon Prison Formation, its purpose is not to separate, but to besiege, and it is a formation with a long history. Lian Yi had seen similar descriptions in ancient books, but he didn't expect to see the real magic circle now.
"Can we monks go in?" Peng Bei asked.
Before you figure it out, don't startle the snake, this is the most basic common sense.
"Just try it. ”
I saw a weed quickly growing along the root of the wall.
"Are you using this trick again, are you cultivating Buddha or wood?"
Peng Bei rolled his eyes when he saw him use this trick again.
"You can do it, just use it. ”
Soon, the weeds passed through the barrier and were unharmed.
The corners of Lian Yi's mouth rose, and before he could show off to Peng Bei, he had already taken the first step. Lian Yi had no choice but to follow in a sloppy manner, blending in with a group of centaurs who wanted to cross the barrier and enter the southern city.
When the two of them passed through the barrier, they were slightly surprised by what they saw.
Although there is only a boundary between the south and north of Hongxian City, this gap is by no means a little bit, the streets are crowded with people, bustling, and the people who enter and exit the various stores are dressed in rich and noble clothes, and even the things worn by the street vendors are by no means comparable to the people of the North City.
"Sure enough, that half should be another city. Peng Bei said.
"Another city?" is the first time Lian Yi has heard of this title.
"The first time you've heard of it?" Peng Bei was a little surprised, it stands to reason that this should be something that people of their background know.
"Tell me. Lian Yi didn't care.
"The location and establishment of the city is not arbitrary, it must be because it has the foundation of the city and can be used for the city transportation. And the so-called alien city is to abandon the root of the city, to support the aliens that cannot be disposed of, and to wait for the fundamental loss of the city, and the aliens to disappear. ”
Peng Bei said leisurely, at this time, the two of them had also gone far away.
"Then why are you so sure?"
Lian Yi still wondered why the haunting, although it was the first time he had experienced it, there were many of the few listed in the book, and why it could be determined that it was a different city.
"I can see the obscure things in the world, and for now, this southern city is unusually clean. Peng Bei muttered.
"Cut, the gods are chattering, you can see obscure things, and you can live with Liu Zhenhui, you can see obscure things, and you can also let people cast spells and plant Gu. ”
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger, you know a fart. ”
To be honest, Lian Yi still didn't believe it, but the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention it again, after all, the two of them have a lot of secrets, and the final result of getting to the bottom of the matter is to fall apart.
Lian Yi didn't dwell on this matter anymore, grabbed a man who was passing by in a hurry next to him, and said, "Little brother, please ask, how to get to the first floor?"
"You're also going to see the Oiran on the first floor?" the man laughed.
"Oiran?" Lian Yi was stunned.
"Yes, we've heard about it, and we'd like to see it. Seeing that Lian Yi was stunned for a long time, Peng Bei hurriedly answered.
"That's right, it's weird, I'm hesitant to go, so I'll take you there. ”
"There's Brother Lao. Peng Bei said, made a gesture of please, and pulled Lian Yi who didn't know why.
"What's the Oiran?" the man led the way in front, and Lian Yi asked in a whisper in the back.
"I can see it, you are a fool, your family let you out, and your heart is really big. ”
finally caught this opportunity to bury people, Peng Bei will not miss it.
"Why are you still burying people? ”
"I'd love to!"
After a while, after a few street corners, the two followed the man in front of a large number of people, and came to the first floor of the flower, only to see that the pavilion was full of beautiful women dressed in demons, and the three big characters on the first floor of the flower were extremely conspicuous.
"The little brother is familiar, and it seems that he has taken a lot of shortcuts. Peng Bei smiled slightly.
The man scratched his head and smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Brother said it's funny, we people are not as good as those dignitaries, if you want to occupy a good place, don't take some shortcuts to get a seat, then you won't even be able to catch the hair." ”
"Oh, listen to the little brother, this flower on the first floor of the dignitaries and nobles like to come very much?" Lian Yi said.
However, this question made the man stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer.
The little brother smiled, my brother just came back from school recently, and my father was very strict in discipline and didn't understand this. Peng Bei smiled.
casually twisted it around his waist.
"There are two brushes in practice, how can you be so tiger in life, if such a place is not supported by the illustrious people, how can it be prosperous so far, and the rest of the matter is closed, I want to ask me to talk about it. ”
Peng Bei whispered, Lian Yi grinned, he didn't dare to say anything, as if he had really done something wrong, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind to study these worldly places.
"No wonder, let's go in quickly, otherwise we may not even have a place to sit if we don't talk about a better seat. The little brother is not a person who gets to the bottom of things, so he took the lead and walked in with a smile.
The three of them found a corner of the third row and sat down, and Peng Bei took out a few more red stones and asked for a few side dishes. Then several gorgeously dressed women came over with dishes and soju, and after putting down the dishes, several people were about to sit down, Peng Bei hurriedly waved his hand, and then looked at the man.
"Brother, you are at your own convenience, my father is very strict in discipline, and we brothers don't need this. Peng Bei arched his hand and smiled.
The man then waved his hand, and several women saw this, with a little hatred in their eyes, and walked to the next table.
"I don't need this, you know, the women here, no one knows that they have anything to do with the old man and young master of that big family, if you don't do it well, it will be a small life. He made a gesture to wipe his neck, and then poured a glass of wine, "Take advantage of your brother today, drink some wine, and see how that Oiran is." The man said with a smile.
After a while, there was a bustle, and the mother on the first floor, with a lot of roles, ushered in a group of sons and brothers like the stars, and sat directly in front of the first row of stands.
"Little brother, who are those people?" Lian Yi asked, and then remembered Peng Bei's words just now, and then looked back at him, like a little daughter-in-law who had done something wrong. Seeing that he didn't lose his temper, he turned his head to look at the man. A hundred question marks in my heart, why do I have to be like this!
"Speaking of these people, the origin is not small. At this, the man's voice was lowered a lot.
"In the middle is the young master of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Yiliang, the City Lord Dumiao. The man pointed to the one in the middle, who looked like a suave boy. "The one on the left is the young master of the Hongxian City Mansion, Sun Qiao. On the other side is the son of the richest man in Hongxian City, Qiu Qiong. The rest of the people are all the sons of the powerful in the city, and today there are seven or eight out of ten gathered here. ”
mentioned Sun Qiao and Qiu Qiong, both of them had bright eyes, you must know that the purpose of their trip today is this Nancheng Mansion, and now it takes no effort to come here. And that Qiu Qiong is the son of Qiu Fu mentioned by Liu Zhenhui, and seeing this person can be regarded as buying one and getting one free.
"How do the three people in the middle behave on weekdays?" Peng Bei ate a pastry, raised his glass to the man, and then asked with a smile.
The man lifted his glass and drank it in one gulp. "On weekdays, Zhang Yiliang has the most rumors, and he is romantic, but he is timid and afraid of things, although he is not likable, he has not done anything hurtful. Sun Qiao, his father is the right-hand man of the city lord, and he is very close to Zhang Yiliang on weekdays, but his reputation is not very good, and it is rumored that he has done a lot of bad things in the name of Zhang Yiliang many times. ”
He grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his mouth.
After all, although Qiu Fu is the richest man in the city, he will often help the poor, Qiu Fu has a very strict family style, and also advocates frugality, even when the old man Qiu died, everything was simple, but he had never heard any gossip. ”
Hearing this, the two frowned slightly, as if they had thought of something, and just when Peng Bei wanted to continue to ask something, a burst of cheers sounded, and in an instant, the first floor of the flower seemed to explode, and the sound of the piano sounded instantly, and a group of women wearing masks lined up and walked up to the stands.
"It's time for the Oiran to come. ”
As soon as the man finished speaking, a rain of flowers fell from the top of the stands, and a woman dressed in white gauze, with her sideburns slightly bundled, floated down from the air, and fell straight into Zhang Yiliang's arms.
"A good measure in one hand not only shows the status of this sub-family, but also will not lose it. Seeing this, Peng Bei's eyes shrank and said coldly.
At the same time, several women handed over a pipa, only to see the white gauze woman holding the pipa, dancing and rising, where it passed, the lotus flower was slightly born, with the melody rising, the woman was in the music, holding the pipa step by step, and the audience was shocked to applaud again and again.
"It's just a trick. Lian Yi smiled.
If others don't understand, Lian Yi and Peng Bei couldn't understand it better.
In this way, after dancing for about half a pillar of incense, after the song was finished, the woman led the people behind her and bowed slightly to the people present.
"Little girl, Long Xiao, I am fortunate to be loved by you, and I hope you like it today. As soon as the words came out, the four were startled.
At this moment, Sun Qiao threw a peanut with one hand, hitting the end of Long Xiao's veil, the veil flew down, Long Xiao took advantage of the situation and turned around, and when he showed people again, Lian Yi and Peng Bei's eyes tightened. At the same time, Zhang Yiliang and Sun Qiao stood up one after another, and just when everyone was exclaiming for their appearance, Zhang Yiliang's face changed suddenly and he took a few steps back.
"Arrest me!Bring it to the City Lord's Mansion!" roared, and before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly left the first floor of Hua with Qiu Qiong's support.
"This woman looks so similar to Liu Zhenhui!" Lian Yi said in a deep voice.
Judging by the reactions of these three people, maybe it has nothing to do with Liu Zhenhui's matter. Peng Bei added.
Immediately, the two of them saluted slightly to the man who was still amazed by Long Xiao's beauty, and at the same time was shocked by the change.
"Take care, brother, there will be a period later. ”
Before the man could come back to his senses, the two looked at each other and disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed, silently.
