Covering the sky and the sun, it is bleak, and it is deep in the 100,000 mountains in the hinterland of the Central Plains. I don't know how many years of trees have grown in the jungle completely obscuring the entire sky, and the woods are as dark as before sunrise.

This is a deserted place in the world, on the top of a cloud-deep mountain, a hanging temple is ethereal. The mountain was so high that from the bottom of the mountain you could only see the thick clouds in the sky, but you could not see the temple above the clouds.

The main hall is majestic and does not know thousands of zhang, can only look up on the square in front of the palace, the name of the hall is "Xuanyuan", it is spread from the flood wilderness.

Not far from the peak, there is a slightly lower peak, on which there are no towering buildings, only bamboo towers and pagodas. Under the highest pagoda, there is a lotus pond, and the climate on the mountain peak is like winter, but this lotus pond is still full of spring colors.

In the center of the lotus pond, there is a large vat, the mouth of the jar is more than ten zhang in circumference, and there are more than ten tails of koi fish wandering.

Shout!

A streamer shot out of nowhere, exploded on the side of the vat, and a graceful figure appeared, green silk like drizzle, feathers into the fairy dust, but her eyes looking at the vat showed a trace of melancholy.

"Frost, are you leaving?" Along with the voice of the hollow valley, there was another streamer. On the other side of the vat, another man's figure walked out of the dazzling light, with white hair, but his face was full of glory, and the ruyi in his hand was like jade, not jade, like moonlight.

The woman did not answer before the meeting, the man sighed slightly, and his sleeves waved at will above the vat, and the vat suddenly made waves. The koi fish are still free, but there is a green lotus platform that slowly rises from the bottom of the jar, which is not deep and shallow, and the smoke is full of smoke and fragrance.

The woman's face finally showed a moved face, her melancholy eyes instantly became extremely loving, and she involuntarily stretched out her jade hand, as if she wanted to touch the lotus platform, like a loving mother raising children, and maternal love is boundless.

As if feeling the emotion from the woman, the only green lotus seed in the center of the lotus platform suddenly revealed a ray of glory, and it just disappeared in a flash, but it seemed to be held in the palm of the woman's hand and attached to her peerless face.

"Sensible child!hehe!" seems to be a natural sound, like a girl's feelings, and a smile blooms.

"Hey, for the sake of this son, you are willing to fall into two realms here, and you don't regret it at all? Don't you worry about the vain of everything in the end?" the man sighed, looked at the lotus seed in the center of the lotus platform, and said to the woman.

"Hmph, it's just two realms, as long as I want to, I can naturally re-cultivate back, but my son is just this one, even if it is in vain in the end?" The woman's originally loving expression changed instantly, and she continued: "Even if the two realms are wasted in the future, even if my son does not succeed in the future, then there will be me and his father to teach him, if anyone dares to point fingers at will, hum!"

With a low snort, the surrounding lotus pond was stirred in space, the lotus leaves kept swaying, the lotus flowers withered rapidly, and the bones bloomed.

The man's face was shocked, and the woman's cultivation surprised him.

"Uncle Ruyi, I have been away from home for three years, so I will go back, and before this lotus seed blooms, I will bother Uncle Shi to take care of it. "The woman made a discipleship to the man, just for this lotus seed.

Watching the woman float away, the man sighed, and when his sleeves waved, the lotus platform sank, and the vat was still bottomless. It's just that he didn't realize that the moment the turquoise lotus seed sank to the bottom of the tank, it burst out with a wisp of murderous intent, and was snatched and swallowed by more than a dozen koi fish wandering in the water tank.

At the same time, in the distant Dongjiang Jiankang and the peach blossom forest of Xiaoyao Villa, Tang Yulou listened to Lao Jiu's words and was murderous.

......

There is a river called Luoshui in Jiankang City, which enters the city from the east of the city and passes through the city, the river channel outside the city is wide and can be transported, and the river channel in the city is relatively narrow, and most of the tourists take a boat to play.

Shili Luoshui has a great reputation, and even Tiange is famous in the imperial capital. She is famous not because of the huge role of Cao Gong, but because of the carved railings of the painting boats floating on the surface of the Inner and Outer Luoshui River.

Wuyi Lane in Jiankang City, Luoshui River is the most prosperous here, and there are elegant pavilions on both sides of the river with green tiles and white walls. When night falls, the red lanterns hanging under the eaves are lit, heralding the busiest time of the day.

Rouge Rain Tower occupies the best position in Wuyi Lane, it is the most famous red pavilion in the whole Jiankang, and it is the place where the literati and gentlemen linger the most.

At this time, Wuyi Lane on the bank of the Luoshui River is already on the beginning of the lanterns, in the place where the Rouge Yulou is by the window by the river, there are three people at a table, a pot of wine and three cups, and there is no delicacies only a plate of peanuts and a plate of fennel beans.

Seeing that these three people were dressed gorgeously, they only ordered a pot of "drunk for three days" and two snacks, which made Xiao Er despise it fiercely. Drinking and not ordering, needless to say, the girl in the building can only be too addicted.

Tang Yulou was a little particular about what he was wearing today, and in the words of Qingzhu, who dressed him up before going out, this outfit would give him a hug no matter what level of Oiran he was.

In fact, there is nothing special, it is a moon-white gown, black boots, nothing more than a belt tied at the waist, inlaid with more than a dozen dragon's eye large East pearls and opals, two pieces of the best jade Jue waist on both sides of the belt hang down to the hips, and the tied string is said to be the silk of the golden cicada.

He didn't wear a bun on his head, because he didn't have a crown, so he naturally didn't wear a crown hat, but he just asked Qingzhu to find a dark cyan ribbon and tie a ponytail to hang down behind his back. Because it is Mayday, a folding fan is of course indispensable, it is said that Qingzhu gave him this is what Cangnan celebrity Wu Meizi used back then, the fan is painted on the spring river flower moonlit night, worth 10,000 gold.

Fingers pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth, Tang Yulou chewed it but didn't touch the wine glass, just kidding, the name of "drunk for three days" is not covered, even Xiao Yidao drank it and slept in the plantain courtyard for three days.

I asked myself that Tang Yulou, who has not yet had the ability to conquer the world's martial arts and all kinds of poisons, would never touch this spirit, especially if there is something more important today, visiting the Qinglou.

"I said Xiaota, it's been two days, and the injury on your face is almost healed, why do you still look sad?" his fingers tapped on the table, and Tang Yulou said to Xie Xiaotao, who was sitting on the opposite side.

Since Tang Yulou beat Xie Xiaotao and then brought him back to Basho Courtyard, in the past two days, under the former's intentional or unintentional nudge, Xie Xiaotao finally came back to his senses, and the farce of the princes of the beacon fire drama was cheated nine times out of ten.

Thinking about it carefully, the most suspicious is Du Shaobai, the young master of the Yin family in Jiankang Mansion, and the Oiran Dong Qingren who never wants to go out but only follows them to watch the fire.

"Hey, it's all my fault for being stupid, and now my father is going to be impeached for this matter, hmph, it must be that Du Shaobai who was instructed by his father to use me. Xie Xiaotao slammed his fist on the table, and the three wine glasses jumped together.

"It's not too late to realize it later, don't worry, with your father's official reputation and ability, it is not so easy to be overthrown, since you are mixed up with this young master, then I will naturally help you get this matter done, today, let's see first where this Dong Qing person is sacred." Tang Yulou didn't care, Xiao Yidao on the side heard Dong Qingren's three words, and nodded yes.

Throwing Xiao Yidao a look of contempt, Tang Yulou moved his gaze to this famous green building, the position they were sitting in now was not bad, but there were still those better positions that were taken over.

Even on the second floor, there are exquisite private rooms, and from time to time there are small servants who stick out their heads to look, obviously looking out for their masters.

A staircase leads from the second floor to the lobby on the first floor, with a closed wooden door in the center of the staircase and a corridor on the left and right sides. I have to say that although the structure of this two-story building is simple, the effect of the layout is still very grand, especially at the bottom of the stairs is a stage that almost occupies the center of the hall on the first floor.

Clang!

A gong hanging on the stage was struck by a hunchbacked man, and this was the famous turtle gong. After the gong sounded, the entire Qinglou immediately fell silent, and the windows of all the private rooms on the second floor were opened, which was the beginning of the main play.

The door of the room in the center of the stairs on the second floor was opened, and a gorgeously dressed, half-aged about forty years old walked upstairs with Jin Lianxiao's feet, this is Hua Niang, the mother of the women in the Rouge Yulou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows what day it is today, my daughter Dong Qingren set a day to leave the cabinet a month ago, so I won't talk nonsense, today is a rule, the one with the highest price wins, whoever pays the price overtakes others, then you can spend candle night with my daughter Dong Qingren tonight. Hua Niang's voice is soft, but it is younger than her appearance.

"Well, the Qinglou here is more direct than the emperor, I like it, unlike the Qinglou Red Pavilion in the imperial capital, no matter what kind of literature and martial arts, you have to take the Oiran personally to assess, troublesome." Tang Yulou spit out the shell of the fennel beans in his mouth and said.

There's no way, who made him a gentleman who couldn't be An Bangwu in the first sixteen years.

"Actually, it's not usually like this, otherwise I still have to find a way to laugh at Bo Dongqing?" Xie Xiaotao looked resentful, if he had drawn such a rule at the beginning, he would have directly compared money with others, where would there be a matter of thousands of acres of grain fields being burned later.

Thinking about it, he even hated the flower girl on the stage at this moment.

"Young master, you can tell me in a while, just leave it to me for such a trivial matter as shouting prices. Xiao Yidao now completely regarded himself as Tang Yulou's follower, especially the great inspiration he gained from participating in the study of "Star Breaking Heaven Sword Technique" with Zhu Qiyi in the past two days, he believed that as long as he was given a little more time, he could break through to the seven-rank realm.

There is another reason, that is, since he was a child, Xiao Yidao has not lived the life of a rich man, even if he is extraordinary in force, but because he has not degenerated to kill people and rob money, so the earning of money is still no different from ordinary people.

It's not that he loves money much, it's just that he still wants to feel the feeling of such an opportunity to show off.
