Chapter 200: If you look carefully, you are not wearing clothes, right?
The rainy night in early winter was cold and humid, and the residual wind blew by. Pedestrians on the street shivered unconsciously, shivering and speeding up their march.
This is Moye City, less than 800 miles away from Henggao City, the center of Zhongyuan Continent. Influenced by Henggao City, Moxie City can be considered a prosperous city, just one step away from a first-class city. There is also a Quhuai River running through the city, adding some style and beauty that are rare in other cities.
You Su sat on the second floor of the teahouse and looked across the Quhuai River.
On the other side of the river, there is a brothel more than ten feet high called 'Xiaoxiang Pavilion'.
The jade railings are carved and resplendent, and rows of red lanterns are hung on the eaves.
Through the window lattice, some plump, some graceful, some dignified, some charming women were dancing. Some of them were half-dressed lying in the arms of men, while some were dancing behind the curtains with their faces half-covered while holding pipa. The harp plays the sheng and yu.
Across a running river, you can not only hear the wind and moon sounds in the brothel, but you can also smell the fragrance of powder coming from the window.
In this cold rainy night with drizzle and hurried pedestrians, this is the only place that is a gentle place that makes people forget to leave.
"Senior brother, you can see if you can see it? You are so eager to see, I don't know if you think you are not blind..."
Ji Lingruo tapped the tea bowl to remind the young man to pay attention to his sight. Her green skirt had been changed to a simpler style, but it could not hide the girl's natural beauty.
You Su Jian frowned slightly and reminded in a low voice:
"Junior sister, I told you not to call me senior brother, but to call me Young Master, Young Master Ye."
Ji Lingruo turned over. With a pretty eye roll, she said helplessly: "Yes, Mr. Ye, please take your time and watch. If you can't bear it anymore, remember to tell the slave."
Zi Yiyi listened silently, without speaking, and spoke politely. Sitting aside, he opened his red lips and took a sip of tea.
After running at full speed for nearly two days, the three finally arrived at Moye City the next evening.
In order to deceive others, You Su decided to conceal his identity and pretended to be a wealthy young man from the Xian family from Henggao City. However, he didn't know much about the specific immortal families in Henggao City, so he simply borrowed the name of Senior Brother Ye under the Third Elder's seat and pretended to be a disciple of the Ye family who was traveling around.
Wanting to package himself as a rich young man, You Su does not need any token or other proof. Ji Lingruo and Zi Yiyi are his most convincing evidence. Even in Moxie City, the beauty of the two women was a dimensionality reduction blow.
Zi Yiyi has no objection to pretending to be You Su's personal maid. The purpose of her coming here is to assist and test You Su's ability to deal with evil incidents. Furthermore, she is a maid herself, but in her heart she must be He doesn't look down on Yousu, his 'master'.
Ji Lingruo is quite eccentric, and her identity as a maid actually has nothing to do with her. But the contrast between the two women is surprisingly effective. One of the two maids is obedient and silent, and the other is charming and lively. The complementation of each other inevitably makes passers-by feel that this is what a real wealthy young lady from an immortal family should be like——
The two maids were still and moved, this young master is definitely a master who knows how to enjoy!
“The person who died at the hands of that ghost mite is definitely the last courtesan of Xiaoxiang Pavilion?”
You Su withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Zi Yiyi lightly, showing his expression. It was exactly like a young man with piercing eyes, verbally teasing his charming little maid.
Under Zi Yiyi's sound isolation technique, others in the teahouse could not hear their conversation at all.
"The death was miserable, shaped like a mummy. Ghost mites are flesh and blood and can be parasitic, so they are difficult to detect. Only the Lord of Moxie City in the lower realm of Huayu has seen it with his own eyes. No one traveling with him saw it, so it is possible that only those in the Huayu Realm can see it when it is invisible, but even if they see it, they may not be able to keep it."
< br>Zi Yiyi mechanically relayed the information one by one.
"As far as I know, because there is no nourishment from Xuan Qi, the evil spirit does not like mortal flesh and blood. But why would this ghost mite attack a prostitute? Could it be that this human oiran is a monk?"
If you are a monk, it stands to reason that you should not be reduced to being a brothel girl.
“Mortals are not the only ones who like to visit brothels. Many disciples of the Immortal family also like romantic affairs. The last courtesan was famous far and wide for her beauty, and her flower name was Qiao Xiuying. It is said that the only son of Lord Xiang was fond of Qiao Xiuying. He had a special liking for Qiao Xiuying and regarded her as a forbidden wife. He spent a lot of money to help Qiao Xiuying open her meridians, but because of his family's reputation, he could not redeem her, nor could she become a Taoist companion. So Qiao Xiuying was always willing to do so, waiting for him silently in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion until she was parasitized by ghost mites and died seven days ago."
Zi Yiyi calmly told the story. Ji Lingruo felt melancholy after hearing this:
"I didn't expect that he led her to the path of immortality and thought he was doing her good, but he caused her to suffer this misfortune. Do you think this is luck or misfortune for her?"
Ji Lingruo is still Young girls always have more subjective thoughts about the twists and turns of emotional stories between men and women.
You Su was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Fortunately or unfortunately, we don't have to say, she can only make her own judgment."
Ji Lingruo held up the incense with a slight sadness. Ji, said no more.
“It’s such a big deal if the oiran dies, can the Xiaoxiang Pavilion still open as usual?” You Su continued to ask.
"There is an evil spirit in Izumo City, so you should immediately think about suppressing it, right?" Zi Yiyi asked in return.
For the city lord, the presence of evil spirits in the city under his jurisdiction is an extremely serious mistake. Of course, it is best to solve the problem himself. If it cannot be solved, he will choose to report it to the Holy Mountain and ask the professional evil exorcists from the Evil Control Department to help.
So obviously, the news of evil spirits appearing in Moye City has not spread. The city appears peaceful on the surface, but in fact there is something sinister going on behind the scenes.
It stands to reason that without the support of someone at the level of the city lord, the owner of Xiaoxiang Pavilion would not dare to continue opening the business for such a fat bear.
You Su held the tea cup, "How did the City Lord's Mansion close the case?"
"It was claimed externally that Qiao Xiuying was secretly ransomed and left. Internally, several people who had seen Qiao Xiuying's withered body were coerced and kept silent. And in just one day, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion introduced a new The oiran's reputation is even greater than that of Qiao Xiuying, and she is even more mysterious. With the attraction of the new oiran, everyone soon forgot about Qiao Xiuying."
You Su secretly thought that this trick of diverting attention was indeed clever, and asked:
"What about Qiao Xiuying's body? Can I have a look?"
"I can't see it because it's missing."
"Missing?!"< br>
You Su suddenly put down the tea cup. Someone stole a mummy?
“Did the son of the city lord do it?”
“No one knows. If you want to find out, you can go to Xiang Wenting, the son of the city lord, to ask for it in person.”
Zi Yiyi still answered coldly, making it clear that in this assessment, she would not give You Su any substantial help other than providing information.
“Am I the only one responsible for eliminating evil spirits?”
You Su was a little annoyed, so the Evil Exorcist Division just looked on with cold eyes. Why, even the Lord of Moye City didn't seem to take this matter very seriously.
This is a matter of life and death!
“Don’t feel aggrieved. Because of Fairy Wangshu’s experience, City Lord Xiang and others are quite resentful towards the Evil Exorcism Department. In their view, it is the Evil Exorcism Department’s responsibility that the evil spirits have not been eliminated. So this time the Evil Exorcism Department kept secret After investigating, they simply acted as the boss and handed all the tasks to the Evil Control Department. But what they didn’t know was that the task was yours.”
You Su frowned and looked at Drizzle. Outside the window, the moonlight and lights were blurred by rain and fog.
He has experienced many hardships, coupled with various evil powers in his body, and has enough confidence that he can definitely see the ghost mite.
But facing this magnificent city, trying to find an evil spirit that is like a mite parasitic on a human body is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Where should he start?
"If you have no clue, you can just give up."
Zi Yiyi pushed a bunch of silver hair back behind her ears, and she had a clear view of the young man's performance. Until now, she had not thought that this blind man would be a savior who was destined to slay evil.
“What did you say?” Ji Lingruo slapped the table angrily, “How can there be an examiner like you who persuades people to give up the exam?”
Zi Yiyi glanced at the girl, and then set her sights on You Su, not hiding the arrogance in her eyes:
"If he gives up now, I can do my best to find the ghost mite. He is helpless here. In fact, it is very likely that the ghost mite has been attached to the second person. Instead of letting him struggle in vain, it is better to save a life. "Isn't it said that you can only see it in the Feather Stage?" Where does the water realm come from?" Ji Lingruo asked angrily.
"I am the maid of the first maid of Huajing. Following the first maid, I have seen evil spirits that are far more terrifying than ghost mites."
Zi Yiyi seems to have become the maid of the first maid of Huajing. For a kind of pride.
Hearing this, Ji Lingruo cursed angrily: "Alas, what's so great..."
You Su didn't pay much attention to the argument between the two women, and was immersed in his own thoughts. middle.
The sound of stepping on the stairs woke up You Su. A young man rushed up excitedly and shouted to a table of people drinking tea:
“Let’s go quickly. Ah! The eldest son from Henggao City is here to treat us at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion! A new oiran has been invited! The eldest son of Henggao City?
Somewhat interesting...
"I think I already have an idea."
You Su suddenly raised the teacup, drank the tea in one gulp, and smashed it on the table.
"Look! My senior brother is very powerful, okay! I won't be scared by you!" Ji Lingruo's lips flew up and she looked at Zi Yiyi with a proud look on her face, "Senior brother! Hurry! Get it! You thought of a good way to tell her and make her regret what she said!"
You Su smiled helplessly and said: "The only time the ghost mite appeared was in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so we should investigate it from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. There is even a possibility that it has not left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Since it is to test whether I can see it, I will start with the oiran and look at everyone in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion carefully. Even if I can't find it, I can eliminate the biggest one. "Maybe."
"Senior brother..." Ji Lingruo's smile froze, and she narrowed her eyes and asked in a dangerous tone, "Look carefully...it's not like wearing no clothes, right?" ?”
“No one knows where ghost mites will live in the body. Junior sister, don’t worry about my eyes being stained by them. I promise to only move my eyes because I am blind. Never do anything."
You Su blinked his clear eyes twice, looking harmless.
“You’re thinking shit!” Ji Lingruo was furious in an instant.
Zi Yiyi secretly shook her head, wondering whether You Su really had no choice but to choose this stupid method, or whether the young man was lustful and just used the topic to play off the topic.
In short, in her heart, You Su's assessment results were marked as 'failure'.
……
Although Xiaoxiang Pavilion is a brothel, it also has a reputation for elegance among literati. On the side of the spectacular gate are two thick red lacquered beams. Hanging on the pillars are two long plaques, gilded with gilt, which reads:
'The fragrant curtain blocks the shadow and the wind enters the building. , the high-pitched zheng is played and Qianchou is relieved. ’
This shows how much the poet loved the harmony of the piano and the harp in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Hey, where did this handsome young man come from! Come on, come on, come on in!"
The madam with heavy make-up had a sinister look in her eyes, and she saw Jin Yihua through the door at a glance You Su, who was well-dressed and had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, hurried past the hostesses who were greeting guests and received them in person with a smile.
"Thank you, sister."
You Su smiled warmly and led the two girls into this gentle town where the fragrant breeze brought warmth.
The madam secretly glanced at the two girls with different expressions behind You Su, and was surprised. This noble young man brought two of them with him when he went out to play. He really knows how to play!
The Madam already regarded You Su as a distinguished guest just by looking at the appearance and temperament of the three of you. Therefore, the Madam was very enthusiastic all the way and led You Su to a private seat on the second floor while chatting constantly.
"Mr. Ye, you came at the right time! Did you see it? Mr. Xiao sitting at the table opposite you is also from Henggao City! He just spent a lot of money just for our new oiran, Miss Ling. It’s great to be able to show up!”
“Oh? That’s really a blessing for Mr. Xiao. I didn’t expect to be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Miss Cailing when I passed by. It’s really exciting. . ”
You Su’s demeanor is indeed that of a well-mannered young man, not a playboy from a remote country. He coughed lightly, and Ji Lingruo reluctantly took out a shiny silver coin from his arms.
The madam smiled flatteringly and accepted the tip calmly, but it was a bit difficult to pull the money away from the girl's hand.
Everyone knows what the appearance of the oiran means. It means that the long-awaited Miss Cailing is finally coming out to choose her guest!
Master Xiao spent a lot of money to invite her to come out. Now that there is another Master Ye competing with him, her Xiaoxiang Pavilion will make a lot of money today!
"Cailing is still dressing up, please wait a moment, Mr. Ye. Do you need to ask two girls to talk to you to relieve your boredom?" the old madam asked diligently.
“No need!” Ji Lingruo’s eyebrows were raised and she couldn’t help shouting.
The old bustard hurriedly bowed: "Then I will get some food and wine for Mr. Ye and the two young ladies. Please wait a moment."
She retreated in a hurry, turned around and glared at Ji Lingruo's back with disdain, thinking to herself:
What are you pretending to be? When you are a slave, do you still want to monopolize your master? When the master comes out to play, he acts like a housekeeper, without any discernment. In the future, I will definitely not be favored by my master!
"Senior brother! Do you really want to investigate one by one?"
Ji Lingruo looked at the shameless men and women downstairs, her face flushed. She didn't want You Su to have anything to do with these people. Too much contact with dirty women.
“Junior sister, you still don’t believe me?”
You Su opened his hands and asked with a smile.
And his hands were covered with white powder, which was all the pearl powder Ji Lingruo used to dress up. The purpose is to prevent You Su from touching it, because if You Su touches it randomly, the white powder will definitely change.
“But there are so many...how did you order them here!”
Ji Lingruo also realized that You Su’s plan was simply whimsical. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion’s business was booming, and these female concubines Basically there is no free time. If You Su wanted to investigate one by one, he would have to stand up and yell:
"Take off all your clothes! Crack down on pornography!"
But how is this possible!
"Junior sister, don't worry, of course it's impossible to really see everyone. But today, I have to interfere with the oiran... I have to investigate." You Su did not forget to joke with his junior sister, "Anyway, junior sister, you Lend me your money, and I will reimburse you when you get back."
"I think you just want to be the guest of this new courtesan!"
Zi Yiyi observed the two people flirting, her eyebrows became even colder, as if she didn't know these two people at all.
"This girl is joking. With you two fairies as companions, how can Brother Ye be distracted by an oiran?"
A clear voice sounded, and Ji Lingruo raised his head. Looking around, he saw a handsome man wearing a bamboo green fairy robe and a long sword at his waist.
A pair of clear eyes are eye-catching, and her fairylike appearance is as beautiful as a pine tree transformed into a human being under the brush of a painter.
This is the first time Ji Lingruo has seen a man who looks like You Su, and it is a bit unbelievable.
"What Mr. Xiao said is absolutely true, Qingluan, don't slander me again." You Su smiled bitterly.
Qingluan and Ziyi are the nicknames You Su gave to the two 'maids'.
"I know..."
With outsiders here, Ji Lingruo had no choice but to perform.
"Master Xiao not only spoke up for Ye Mou, but also allowed Ye Mou to take advantage of you. Please sit down quickly and I will toast you a drink!"
You Su invited you enthusiastically, and Zi As expected of a maid, Yiyi immediately poured wine for the two of them.
"Then it is better for Xiao to be respectful than to obey orders."
Master Xiao sat down gracefully.
Of course, the purpose of his coming here is not just to defend You Su.
"I heard that Mr. Ye is also from Henggao City?" Mr. Xiao asked eagerly, as if he were meeting a fellow villager in a foreign land.
"Exactly." You Su raised his glass.
Master Xiao’s eyes flashed:
"The three families in Henggao City are the Xiao family, the Ye family, and the He family. Among them, the Xiao family and the Ye family have a pretty good relationship. Xiao has been playing with the brothers of the Ye family since he was a child. How come he has never met Brother Ye? It stands to reason that Brother Ye’s sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, as well as his handsome face, should be unforgettable... Is it Brother Ye whose surname is not Ye?"
Master Xiao smiled and said the kindest words. The tone asked the most direct question.
As he finished speaking, the place fell into a dead silence. Ji Lingruo looked at You Su nervously, while Zi Yiyi still looked on coldly.
"Master Xiao, why do you pretend to be confused with me?" You Su smiled calmly, "We are all respectable people. How can we use our real names when hanging out in romantic places? I'm afraid Master Xiao may not have the surname Xiao, right?" "
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he laughed heartily.
Before he could answer, there was a commotion downstairs:
“Come out! Miss Cailing is out!”
