Chapter 8 Flower Building

After studying these two martial arts, Bai Ya's attention was on the jade statue.

Perhaps because of the urgency of the situation, Huikong did not introduce him to the figurines that were placed together with the two scriptures.

This palm-sized jade statue is milky white in color and contains flocculent textures, and has a strange style. The main body is an arhat wearing a yellow monk's robe, his right shoulder is bare, and a tiger with hanging eyes is riding under his crotch, and a three-clawed dragon is wrapped around his upper body.

Luohan's right hand grasped the tiger's scalp, and his left hand was raised high, holding the dragon's seven inches. The tiger roared, the dragon spit letters, and the whole statue was lifelike, making people feel like they were there.

It is strange because this arhat has two faces, one is kind-eyed and the other is angry. This Arhat statue is like a combination of the Arhat of the dragon and the tiger, and I don't know what it means.

Bai Ya looked carefully, and he found that there were some cyan flocculent silk threads and spots inside the jade statue, which seemed to be a bit like the meridian diagram of the Vajra Mahamudra, but it could also be the texture of the jade.

"I don't know where Huikong got this statue, could it be that there is also a kind of Buddhist martial arts in it?" Bai Ya vaguely understood why Huikong didn't explain this jade statue to him, because I am afraid that the monk himself will not be able to understand this thing.

As time passed, Bai Ya finally couldn't support it, and after thinking about it, he put on a lying posture among the big mudras of Vajra and fell asleep.

Ordinary people lie on their sides, with their sides against the bed, but in this picture, they are resting on the bed with their elbows, supporting their heads with their palms, and their legs are stacked upright, with the other arm close to the side of their legs.

Lying down like this is naturally very difficult, the arms are easy to numb, the cervical spine and spine are difficult to keep straight all the time, and one can not hold it and will be injured.

It's just that Bai Ya was very stimulated today, even if he was tense in his sleep, and even occasionally turned over and changed hands, he actually maintained that posture until he was awakened by the sound from the small courtyard outside the window.

After waking up, Baiya felt at a loss that he didn't know where he was.

He slept very unsteadily, and in his dreams he always saw Huikong's bloody head dangling in front of his eyes.

After a long time of coming back to his senses, he found that his arms were throbbing vigorously, his muscles were bulging, and his palms were as red as blood, as if a force had been forced into his arms.

He shook his arm and massaged it as the scriptures had described, and the sensation subsided, followed by a tingling and itching of the muscles.

Bai Ya didn't care very much, Huikong had explained in the scriptures that it should be a phenomenon of cultivation taking effect.

Anyway, the night was finally over.

......

Early in the morning, Bai Ya and Su Er unloaded the door panel of the inn together, and he sat on the threshold of the store with a piece of bread as usual, looking at the dirt road in front of the door while nibbling on the cake.

At this time, there were not many people on the dirt road, and the cold wind of the early morning swept the layers of fine sand on the ground, like a microwave cascading on the surface of the river.

Su Er looked at his dark circles, looked a little surprised, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.

There were not many guests in the inn during the day, and when the sun slowly hit, Su Da and Lin Qigu came out yawning, and it was rare for these two people to get up so late.

"Su Da, Hualou said hello yesterday, let me send some snacks, you can go with Lengbang!" Lin Qigu pointed at the orchid and handed over two mille-feuille boxes.

"Eh!" Su Da agreed, beckoning Bai Ya to take the food box and go out together.

The two of them walked along the dirt road towards the south, where the flower building was located.

When they walked two streets and came to the most spacious central clearing in Shiyangji, both of them suddenly stiffened, raised their heads and froze in place.

In the usually empty open space, now there are a few thugs squatting. The most important thing is that there is a flagpole more than seven meters high not far from them, and there is a head of the blood hole with a double eye stuck in the tip of the flagpole.

The head had a bloody face, no hair on the top of his head, and only six white ring scars. Those gangsters actually didn't let go of Huikong after his death, and used this way to show their majesty in Shiyangji.

Seeing Su Da and Bai Ya, a few thugs squatting under the flagpole laughed and pointed at the two, deliberately raising their voices and talking and laughing loudly.

Glancing at the miserable head on the flagpole, Su Da's eyes showed a hint of anger, and suddenly, he heard a heavy pant sound beside him.

When he looked back, his eyes widened in surprise, and he saw that the fool was still staring at the head in a daze, his eyes were bloodshot, stained into a pair of terrifying bloody eyes, and almost every part of his facial muscles that could not move freely were twitching, and he looked extremely hideous.

"Leng stick, don't be impulsive!" Su Dayi grabbed Bai Ya's right hand and slowly stretched out the bone chopping knife at his waist, and shouted in a low voice, "What happened last night, did you really go to see the monk with those two pieces of dough?"

Bai Ya's shoulders trembled, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and turned his head to look at Su Da in a daze, he didn't expect that someone would see him last night.

"It seems that Xiaoxin is right, you seem to have really opened up, but it is not big enough. Su Da whispered expressionlessly.

"Those thugs are all life-fighting people, since you provoked them, do you think we can sleep like dead pigs at night? I took turns keeping watch on the roof of the house with my seventh aunt all night, and I kept watch for the first half of the night. I saw you slip out, but I didn't have time to stop you little stick. ”

Bai Ya's eyes darkened, and Su Da's words stabbed his death hole, making him think again that Huikong's death was completely his own responsibility. He should have given up pretending to be stupid yesterday and told the whole thing about it, so that Huikong would not die.

Just now...... Bai Ya glanced back at the head on the flagpole, and his mood strangely calmed down. He tightened the food box in his hand and continued to walk towards the flower building, not watching the monkey show jumping up and down the gangsters.

Su Da looked at Bai Ya's back and felt a trace of strangeness in his heart. He frowned, glanced at the flagpole and the gangsters again, sneered, and followed the White Cliff.

......

Hualou is a "Hui" shaped courtyard with a total of two floors.

Some of the girls in Hualou are fugitive slaves from Liangzhou and Sizhou, and some are family members brought by laborers. Because after the man died, he had no source of livelihood, so he had to rely on his flesh and skin to make a living.

Hualou is the only prostitute in Shiyangji, and it has not been established for a long time, about five years ago, the mysterious Aunt Hua opened this brothel here.

Before the appearance of Hualou, the poor women in Shiyangji's leather and meat business were basically secret prostitutes. They had a very bleak time in some dilapidated caves, because many of their clients liked to pay for prostitutes with knives.

From this point of view, Hualou is already a paradise!

The girls usually stay in the wing room of the corridor with the word "Hui", and their stage name flower card is hung in front of the door of the wing.

If a guest asks for a girl, the little girl in the flower building will take off the flower card in front of the room until the guest comes out again.

"It's time to get to the place, it seems that those gangsters won't cause trouble during the day, you go and send the food box into the flower building, and I'll go back to the inn first." Seeing the red lantern in front of the Hualou from a distance, Su Da turned to Bai Ya and said.

Bai Ya nodded silently, took another mille-feuille box in Su Da's hand, and walked towards the flower building with a food box in one hand.

"Little stunned, let's go in!" The two strong turtle slaves in front of the Hualou who were soliciting customers, saw Bai Ya carrying the food box, showed a professional smile on their faces, and split to both sides, dodging a way.

"Hey, little stunned, why did you send it. The girls were dying of hunger and hurried upstairs. Remember, it's still the third big wing!"

As soon as Bai Ya entered the gate, an old crane with a face painted like a fairy greeted him.

This is a glamorous half-aged with a waist like a willow and a bulging breast. She wore a pink skirt, combed a cloud bun, a pair of lips red like blood, a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth, and a provocative smile on her face. It's just that the wrinkles between her eyebrows that can't be concealed show her true age.

This old bird is Aunt Hua, the owner of Hualou, and she is also the person that the girls of Hualou regard as reborn parents.

Maybe it was because Bai Ya had been looking for memories for a long time, and when Aunt Hua turned around and saw that he was still staring at herself in a daze, the smile on her face suddenly became more and more brilliant, and she came to Bai Ya's side with a wisp of fragrant wind.

"Yo, I can't see that the little flute has grown up, and I know how to look at women. Aunt Hua poked Bai Ya's chest with her fingers, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the tigress in your house staring, Aunt Hua would definitely let you know what it's like to be a woman today!"

Bai Ya was stunned by her, and for the first time, she was glad that this body was a facial paralysis. He glanced at Aunt Hua blankly, picked up the food box, and turned around and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Cut, this baby is so boring!" Aunt Hua pursed her lips and twisted her willow waist unwilling to leave.

Because the men in Shiyangji will draw knives at every turn, in order to prevent prostitutes from seeing blood due to jealousy, Hualou arranged knife customers in the building, and it is difficult for outsiders to make trouble here.

At the entrance of the staircase leading to the second floor of the flower building, there stood two men with large shoulders and round waists, wearing only a sleeveless riding coat on their upper bodies, their exposed arms and muscles bulging, like steel cast iron, and their waists were equipped with short knives of a unique style.

This kind of knife has a thick back, the blade is the width of a palm, but the length is only a foot and a half, and the name is called "sentence knife", which is the favorite weapon of the Saibei swordsmen. The sentence knife is suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and the slashing power is no less than that of an axe, and it can be cut off and decapitated with a single knife.

"The knife stays ...... Let's go up!" Seeing Bai Ya coming to him, the two originally expressionless swordsmen showed a hint of a smile, stretched out their hands and asked Bai Ya to hand over the bone chopping knife, and then dodged a way.

Bai Ya remembered that these two people were also regular customers of Gu Lin Inn, and every time he made a mistake and was chased by Lin Qigu with a feather duster, they were among the guests who coaxed.

On the second floor, a row of portals appeared in front of White Cliff. The side room that has been closed has guests, and the side room that has not closed the door and only the door curtain is blocked by the door has no guests. Bai Ya looked at the many portals and began to recall the location of the No. 3 large wing.

Although the girls in Hualou do not have a so-called vacation day, they cannot do business all day long. After they have picked up a few guests, they always have to take a break. The third large wing room is the place where the idle girls gather together, chat and eat.

Bai Ya paused slightly, and then walked towards a large wing room in the innermost part of the "Hui Zi".
