Chapter 401 Visiting a brothel, Pei Xuanzhen enters Taoism
On the second day, Li Zhi went out with Pei Xuanzhen to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains and rivers.
While increasing mutual understanding between two people, it is also a process of cultivating mutual feelings.
The footprints of the two of them were left on the mountain tops, lakeside, in the clouds, and in the deep valleys.
In the vast dusk scenery, the bright red sunset reflected on the golden wheat fields. The two of them rode horses side by side like ordinary people, ticking forward on the path among the waves of wheat.
Li Zhi looked at Pei Xuanzhen. She was telling an interesting story from her childhood. Li Zhi was listening with half of his mind, while the other half was already flying into the clouds.
Then I saw Pei Xuanzhen wearing a bamboo green dress and riding a maroon horse.
The bright evening sun covered her with a layer of red gauze, and her fair and smooth skin was also orange-red, and even her hair was emitting a thin light.
The most stunning thing is Pei Xuanzhen's red lips. They were originally red lips, but after being painted with sunset rouge, they became even more delicate.
As she told her childhood anecdotes, a cute and innocent look appeared on her face.
It made Li Zhi realize that under the shell of the elder sister of the Canglan Sect and the cold goddess, there had been living such an eccentric and timid little girl.
After Pei Xuanzhen finished speaking, his big bright eyes turned to Li Zhi and saw Li Zhi looking at him intently.
Although the two of them had already acted more intimately, Pei Xuanzhen's face still turned slightly red when Li Zhi looked at him like this.
"Brother, did you listen to me just now!"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, I'll repeat it to you!"
"No, it's not difficult to do two things at once. You just started thinking about other things!"
Pei Xuanzhen immediately put on a straight face, trying to show that he was angry that Li Zhi did not listen to her attentively.
But soon he couldn't pretend anymore, he rolled his eyes and laughed.
The most beautiful time for a woman is when she can't help but laugh even though she wants to make a fool of herself.
A bamboo raft is empty above the blue stream. The water and rocks are clear and beautiful. The stream reflects the white clouds in the sky. Green mountains are arranged on both sides of the river. The water is soft and the mountains are warm.
Li Zhi lay on the bamboo raft, resting his hands on his pillow, staring at the white clouds in the sky in a daze.
Such a leisurely scene reminded him of the leisurely time when he entered Sichuan with a sword in Blue Star.
Then he remembered the days when he came out of Luoshan and returned to Qin from Guizhou Province, holding a bamboo raft.
At that time, I never imagined that I would leave Blue Star and come to this world.
Who would have thought that he now has a fiancée?
Thinking of this, a feeling of loneliness and loneliness suddenly arose in his heart.
Li Zhi missed Jiang You a little. Perhaps Jiang You, the only one in this world, could experience this feeling.
"I don't know what Jiang You's situation is now. It would be great if Jiang You could come during the wedding!"
Li Zhi sighed softly and looked at Pei Xuanzhen, who was sitting in front of the bamboo raft, in harmony with the green mountains and green waters.
She was wearing a bamboo hat, holding a fishing rod, and was fishing.
Who would have thought that Pei Xuanzhen would still have such a hobby?
"Oh, I told you not to happen, but you scared the fish away right away!"
"Miss Pei, it's obviously your own incompetence, so you blame me?"
"It's up to you! Forget it and stop fishing!"
Pei Xuanzhen put away the bamboo hat and fishing rod as he spoke.
These two things are both mortal things, but the sect master made them for her when he was a child. She also used this method every time she went fishing, so she cherished these mortal things very much.
Li Zhihuan was about to joke again when his arms suddenly felt warm and soft, and Pei Xuanzhen slipped into his arms.
She put her head on Li Zhi's chest and looked up at Li Zhi, "Senior brother, you sighed just now. Is there something bothering you? Can you tell Xuanzhen?"
Li Zhi looked at Pei Xuanzhen in his arms and knew that the reason why she stopped fishing was because she was aware of his mood.
Suddenly my heart felt warm, and some of the emptiness I had felt before was immediately filled.
He put his arms around his fiancée and smiled: "It was there before, but it's gone now!"
Raindrops as fine as silver hair cover the heaven and earth like a veil.
A curve of green water is like a jade belt running around the forest, and the distant mountains are hidden in shadow.
The rain and dew blows on the tall and slender Phoenix tail bamboo, gathering into beads and sliding down the elegant and unique leaf tails. The crystals are like broken threads, beating on the oil paper umbrella, intermittently, the clearer and clearer is like a lady tapping a chime.
Li Zhi held Pei Xuanzhen Rouyi's little hand, holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking in the streets of the mortal city.
The two used their methods to conceal their appearance.
Pei Xuanzhen was held by Li Zhi in one hand, and was eating a bunch of candied haws in the other hand.
"You're not lying to me, are you? You've never eaten candied haws?"
"Have you ever seen candied haws sold in Canglan City, or in other monk cities?"
"It seems not!"
"That's enough, hey, senior brother, what is that?"
"Hmm, sugar blower? There is this thing here!"
"What is a sugar blower?"
"It's also for coaxing children!"
"Senior brother, I want that! Buy it for me!"
"They say it's just for coaxing children. It's too childish for you!"
"No, since it's for coaxing children, it's just right for me!"
"No, you ate too much junk food today, don't eat it again!"
"No, let's buy it Let's buy it It's the last one"
Women are naturally able to understand men, but men have a hard time understanding women.
As soon as Pei Xuanzhen acted coquettishly, Li Zhi had no choice but to buy one for Pei Xuanzhen.
His money was obtained by selling the fish Li Zhi caught with Pei Xuanzhen's fishing rod.
Because when fishing, you are not allowed to use any magical means, you have to be the same as ordinary people.
According to Pei Xuanzhen, this is the fun of fishing, waiting and hoping!
At that time, Li Zhi was shocked and thoughtful after hearing this.
But after all, Li Zhi grew up in the countryside with Wu Ye and Xiaoxiao.
He also has some fishing skills, much better than Pei Xuanzhen, who is both good at fishing and fun-loving. He caught four or five big fish.
So he also suddenly took control of the financial power.
After buying the candy, the two found a teahouse, where a storyteller was speaking eloquently on a high platform.
What the book talks about are also some of the common people's longings and fantasies about the spiritual world.
Among them, Canglan Sect plays the role of Master Qingtian.
There were many people in the teahouse, and the hall on the first floor was full.
People need entertainment.
Even ordinary people need some entertainment to relieve the boredom in life.
However, whether it is a theater or a brothel, the consumption is too high. It is okay to go there once in a while. If you go there often, people can bear it, but your wallet cannot bear it.
For the general public, listening to books is the most cost-effective pastime.
For only a dozen cents, you can eat, drink, and listen for a whole day, which is a great deal.
The two of them ordered a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds at the teahouse on the second floor.
While admiring the drizzle outside the window, I drank tea and ate melon seeds, while listening to the storyteller's book.
The content inside is full of errors, and it sounds like it was imagined by ordinary people, who have not been exposed to the circle of monks at all.
But just because something is wrong doesn’t mean the story isn’t exciting.
In particular, this storyteller was very skilled. He told the story so vividly and vividly that the onlookers were so excited that they dared not speak out.
Some people even substituted themselves into the protagonist, feeling that there was no light in the world and no way to survive, and they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
Later, I heard that the elders of Canglan Sect heard about this and appeared as saints. They punished the bad guys and rewarded the good guys. They also allowed the lovers to finally get married, a standard happy ending that everyone likes.
Wow
The folding fan sways.
The storyteller smiled softly and said, "Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. I would like to advise you to do more good deeds!"
The last word was said. The whole house cheered!
"Okay!" Even Pei Xuanzhen beside him shouted out.
"Xuanzhen, don't you also think that the elders of the sect know what is going on in a small mortal town and would deliberately go there to seek justice?"
"I know it's false, but storytellers tell stories very well!"
"Too!"
At this time, a boy came forward, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, nodding and bending past each table of guests to ask for rewards.
This kind of reward behavior can be given or not, and it depends on one's mood. If you are happy, you will be given three melons and two dates. If you are unhappy, just pretend not to see it. It will not make any difference except that your face will be dull.
Pei Xuanzhen saw it, and after asking Li Zhi to find out more about it, he also excitedly asked for a reward.
But he asked Li Zhi to pay.
"Miss, you are happy to reward me, why do you want others to pay for it!"
"Just tell me whether you want to pay for it or not. If you don't, then I will reward you with the spiritual marrow!"
"No! This move will harm them!"
Li Zhi quickly stopped Pei Xuanzhen and finally took out the money.
When we came out of the teahouse, it was already the time when the lanterns were on.
Starlight also appeared in the sky, pouring down from the sky, and it was cold and clear.
The two walked hand in hand in the city, with Pei Xuanzhen leaning against Li Zhi gently.
As soon as the street turned a corner, a magnificent building suddenly appeared.
It is five stories high, with two red lanterns hanging under the eaves of each floor.
There was even more laughter and excitement inside, and the scent of rouge and wine mixed together gave off a unique atmosphere.
"Senior brother, where is that place? It's so lively, let's go in and have a look!"
Li Zhi glanced at the plaque: Chunfeng Qiuyue Tower.
"Let me go, this name, can't it be a brothel!"
Li Zhi was a little confused and looked at Pei Xuanzhen who was eager to try. He didn't know how to tell her.
"This is not a good place, so we won't go in!"
"Is there any place in this mortal city that I can't go to? If you say that, then I'm even more curious!"
"Xuanzhen, this place is all about men and women. It's a flesh-and-blood business. As long as you give me money, you can do things that can only be done between husband and wife. It's better not to go in. If your grandfather finds out, he will inevitably scold me. of."
"My grandfather reprimanded you. Huh, he doesn't dare to do it now. Senior brother, your excuse is really lame. Could it be that the dignified senior brother of the Canglan Sect doesn't even dare to enter a mortal city?"
"The provoking method is of no use to me!"
In the end, the two of them entered. It wasn't that Li Zhi was provoked by Pei Xuanzhen, but that Li Zhi thought about it. The matter between men and women is the way of nature. There is nothing to be taboo about. It's okay to let Pei Xuanzhen go in and take a look. , just to increase her experience, which is also good for entering the Tao.
Moreover, Li Zhi had never been to a brothel and was curious about what the scene was like inside.
In this way, the engaged couple entered it together.
Because both of them had their faces covered, mortals would only be able to make up the faces they thought were logical.
So the turtle slave at the door didn't know the identity of Pei Xuanzhen's daughter.
He welcomed the two of them in enthusiastically and found an empty table for them to sit at.
"You two look like strangers, would you like some tea or wine?"
There is another difference between a brothel and a brothel. The standard and tonality of a brothel are relatively high. It is not something that can be done on the first visit. You have to spend time with regular visitors, get familiar with the girls inside, and give lots of gifts later, so that you can go upstairs.
Entering a brothel for the first time is also divided into "ordering flower tea" and "serving wine".
Ordering flower tea means that the visitor is here to have a meal and to find a girl to chat with.
I came here to buy a drink just to go upstairs. I also came here to find a girl, but the focus was mainly on interaction.
After confirming your purpose, you can sit down and order whatever you want.
When the turtle slave asked, even Li Zhi didn't know the secret here. Pei Xuanzhen took it literally and said it was a drink. She wanted to taste what the wine among mortals tasted like.
"You're not busy, let's serve the food and wine first, and we'll talk about it later!"
"Okay, just wait!"
The first floor of the brothel is decorated as a restaurant, and each table is accompanied by a girl dressed in a gorgeous dress. But fortunately, the first floor is entry-level, and there are no wild people yet, so everyone still keeps it in and has fun.
Soon, two girls, one dressed in red and one in purple, came walking lightly.
As for her face, with Pei Xuanzhen sitting next to her, any woman who came would be overshadowed, and Li Zhi didn't look carefully.
The two women sat on either side of them and started chatting as soon as they came up.
Food and drinks also came quickly.
Accompanying Li Zhi was the woman in purple, who asked nothing more than some cliche questions.
I'm unfamiliar with you. Where are you from? What kind of business do you do? I plan to stay in the city for a few days.
It is used to mentally evaluate the financial resources of the two people and the angle and strength of the knife.
Li Zhi casually made up lies to deal with it, but he was worried that not to mention going upstairs to take a look, it might not be enough to spend all the money on just a banquet!
Pei Xuanzhen was really enjoying the conversation and made up a role for himself as a rich second generation. He went on a trip with his friends and came here. He was bored at night and came here to have some fun.
Women may be born to lie, and the more beautiful the woman, the more subtle her words.
In the eyes of these two women, Pei Xuanzhen, a rich second-generation person, suddenly looked luxurious in his clothes, and even his face turned into the image of a pretty boy.
Suddenly, even the girl in purple beside Li Zhi started chatting with Pei Xuanzhen.
Li Zhi looked on in amusement and thought that this trip with Xuanzhen was really interesting.
Pei Xuanzhen took the time to wink at Li Zhi proudly, while Li Zhi smiled and looked at her performance.
Pei Xuanzhen's lies became more and more complete. She was originally the jewel of the clan, and her living situation was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Talking about living expenses, there are countless treasures, but her image is more and more glorious in the eyes of the two women.
As soon as she drank the wine, the woman in red's little hand automatically passed it into Pei Xuanzhen's.
The woman in purple who was sitting next to Li Zhi was furious. She felt that Li Zhi was in the way, but she thought that Li Zhi was also Pei Xuanzhen's good friend. They traveled together, and their backgrounds should not be different.
Hurry up and try to trick Li Zhi.
But Li Zhi said that he and Pei Xuanzhen got to know each other through poetry. He was very poor himself, and he would have to pay for the bill later, so he had to pay for it, so he just came to eat and drink.
Lower your head, too low.
As soon as Li Zhi said these words, the woman in purple immediately bowed her head. Li Zhi was originally a young and handsome man, but this time, he instantly turned into a wretched bald man. He no longer wanted to talk to Li Zhi.
Both Li Zhi and Pei Xuanzhen could see the images of the two of them in their eyes.
This immediately made Pei Xuanzhen burst into laughter.
Li Zhi deliberately found a way to get up and go out. When he came back, sure enough, Pei Xuanzhen had already hugged him from left to right.
The other guests on the first floor shouted that it was unfair!
The turtle slave also secretly exchanged glances with the girl. After confirming the identity of the fat sheep, he invited the two of them to the second floor.
The second floor is a place for serious meetings and drinks.
A stage was set up at the front, and there was a girl in cool clothes who was holding a pipa and half-hiding her face.
Below are a group of demons dancing wildly, some rubbing their ears and temples, some sitting in the arms and feeding wine, some touching the thighs, and some dragging the girl straight to the third floor.
As soon as he arrived here, Pei Xuanzhen suddenly became red-faced, and the two girls also had a tendency to go on the offensive. They could no longer continue the show. They used tricks to confuse the two of them, and then sat next to Li Zhi.
"Huh! I have never told so many lies in my life!" She took a long breath, then took a glass of wine and drank it.
"Eh! It's so spicy, so unpleasant to drink. Is this wine? It's so unpleasant to drink, how can other people be so happy drinking it?"
Li Zhi also drank a glass and smiled: "Of course it's wine, isn't it hard to drink? I think it's the same as the wine prepared by the sect master that night!"
"No way, senior brother, the wine that night was Yuhua Yunniang that grandpa often drank. It is extremely precious. Even the elders in the sect can hardly drink it!"
"It's the same, it's all the same. It's all wine, but the taste is different. It's just like these people around us, you and I are all human beings, but our strength is different!"
Pei Xuanzhen's face froze, and he leaned against Li Zhi and said, "Brother, you know I don't mean this, but the gap is really huge. Do we have to ignore the gap?"
"Xuanzhen, you and I are playing games in this world, taking and taking away everything we want. We feel that ordinary people like them exist to cooperate with us. Even if we wipe out the whole city, it is just a matter of thought.
Just like this, these two women can laugh with you when you feel comfortable, but when they go upstairs, they make you feel uncomfortable, so you can only sit still like this, and no one here can watch. We can't hear the voices of you and me, and we can't even detect the movement here, just like usual.
So this gap cannot be ignored! "
"Since you admit it, senior brother, why..." Pei Xuanzhen was a little confused.
"Yeah, since that's the case, why don't we have something more fun?"
As he spoke, Li Zhi's eyes flashed with golden light, and everyone in the brothel, no matter what they were doing, stopped their movements, and then stood up with dull eyes.
They grabbed each other's necks and began to strangle each other to death.
"Brother, what are you doing? Stop it!"
Pei Xuanzhen's expression changed drastically, he sat up from Li Zhi's arms and shouted.
"Since it's a game, it's fun. If you kill me, you'll kill me. Why is Xuan Zhen making such a fuss!"
Li Zhi's expression disappeared and he still looked at Pei Xuanzhen with a smile.
"No, no, no, isn't this the devil?"
"Why, kill, just kill, they are just ants. They are used for fun. In fact, it is their blessing!"
Pei Xuanzhen suddenly frowned, and was stunned for a long time. The golden light of merit gained from the Taoist monument in her body suddenly split into half and rushed towards her head.
"Because...we are all human!"
After saying these words, Pei Xuanzhen broke through to the Void Refining Realm in half a step of refining. There was no vision of the Heavenly Tribulation. His cultivation level skyrocketed, and his heart felt like the Milky Way was hanging down. On the contrary, the gain was greater than that of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation!
Pei Xuanzhen, during this period of playing, finally had the opportunity to enter Taoism, under Li Zhi's guidance.
With the help of the golden light of merit, I finally entered the Tao!
