The atmosphere at this moment is beautiful and silent, people around come and go, but they are always standing here, one hugging the other.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't we go find an inn or something to stay in, and then go shopping in Lelang Mansion and eat some fried fish soup?" After a long silence, Tang Lin suddenly said: "Why do we have to stay here all the time? Hold here..."

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Zibai rubbed his neck: "I don't want to go to any inn now, and I don't want to eat fried fish soup, I just want to hug you."

"...But I feel that people passing by are looking at us." Tang Lin was a little embarrassed at this moment: they had been standing near the city gate for a long time.Even after they were surrounded by crowds in Hecang Mansion, they all had the habit of covering up their appearance when they went out, but the two men hugged near the city gate for so long, it was still quite eye-catching.

Without hesitation, Xiao Zibai pinched his fingers and cast a confusion spell around them: "No one will look at us now."

Tang Lin couldn't laugh or cry.

So under the cover of confusing spells, they hugged for a long time near the city gate, until Tang Lin said softly, "Arms are sore", Xiao Zibai reluctantly let him go, and Lin let go Don't forget to kiss him on the cheek.

The warmth of Xiao Zibai's lips still remained on his cheeks, Tang Lin shook his head with a smile, and walked towards Lelangfu City hand in hand with Xiao Zibai.

Lelang City is different from Hecang.After all, Hecang Mansion is a place of food production, even if it has become a prosperous city, it still has a simple and mellow flavor born in the earth.Le Lang Mansion started entirely from commerce. It is a transportation hub in the Central Plains, where waterways and land routes criss-cross. There are many famous businessmen, many beauties, and many brothels in Chuguan—and there are many Bo Xinglang who are unrepentant and carefree.

Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai, two single men, looked young and didn't have much entourage.He is neither like a businessman who came here to do business, nor a scholar who passed by here when he was rushing for an exam. Tang Lin was a little generous when he stayed at the inn, and the shopkeeper felt their thoughts and quietly pointed to the west Son: "The scenery in the west of the city is good, you two must remember to take a look."

What scenery can be seen in a city?The two of them didn't care, but Xiao Zibai asked casually: "Does the shopkeeper know which one's fried fish soup is delicious?"

The shopkeeper immediately slapped his thigh: "Fish soup is my family's favorite, and fried fish is the best in the west of the city. Now is the time when the fish are fat and shrimps are delicious. Today, my family has a new batch of big live fish, each of which is very plump, and you can't say too much with a flick of the tail. It's exciting. Why don't you two try it tonight?"

Of course the two had no objection.

So I ate in this inn, and besides fish soup, I ordered a few other dishes. Tang Lin had a good idea, and specially ordered a jug of wine: Maybe when the wine is served later, there will be some food in it. How about a big flower?As a result, when the food and wine were served, they looked nothing special, but the fish soup was indeed delicious.

Whether it is Xiao Zibai or Tang Lin, although they are people (birds) who have cultivated for decades, and they are also dignified Golden Core monks when they go out, they are far from the point of being pure and ascetic, so this They were all satisfied with a meal of fish soup.Satisfied with the fish soup, they naturally became a little curious about the "fish sticks in the west of the city" that the shopkeeper said. Coupled with the phrase "the scenery in the west of the city is good", they decided to take a walk in the west of the city the next day.

"Didn't we come here to look for clues?"

Tang Lin still remembered this, and couldn't help mentioning it when he was walking west of the city.Xiao Zibai spread his hands helplessly after hearing this: "Although I said I want to investigate, where can I look? Lelang Mansion is not like Hecang Mansion. There are some traditions like flower picking festivals."

There was a meeting of oirans, but neither heard of anyone missing at the meeting, nor saw anything so beautiful that it was not like ordinary people, so Xiao Zibai didn't mention it.Tang Lin thought about it too, after summoning the wind spirit power to blow it secretly, he didn't find a few wisps of monster energy, so he could only pretend that he was really here for a trip, and followed Xiao Zibai to the west of the city.

I don't know why, but the shopkeeper specifically mentioned to them that if you want to see the scenery, it's best to go at night.

Since they all planned to go to the west of the city, it was natural to choose the time with the best scenery, so when they arrived in the west of the city, it was the time when the willows were on the top of the moon.

On the flower street by the Yanzhi River in the west of Lelang Prefecture, those brothels and Chu pavilions are already brightly lit.

When the willows are on the moon, the lights are reflected in the Rouge River sandwiched by flower buildings on both banks. The night wind gently caresses the satin-like river water, leaving rows of shallow ripples.The sound of thin orchestral strings came from afar from the pavilions knotted with various colored silks, and the starlight all over the sky was also lost its brilliance by the bright lights on the tall buildings by the river.

I don't know how many people are having a spring breeze among the warm and fragrant nephrite.

Men and women who came to have fun rode tall horses, shuttling between flower buildings, laughing and discussing the pros and cons of various prostitutes, while the women who were talked about lazily leaned on the flower buildings, showing Either bewitching or softly smiling, let the people downstairs look at themselves.

From time to time, there will be prostitutes who take a fancy to the people who come to have fun, so they throw a bead flower just taken off the sideburns towards the crowd below: it is often wrapped with a dyed mouth Fatty Spa.The favored people received the token under everyone's envious eyes, and went up the stairs complacently - there is no doubt that they will have a wonderful night, and what's even more wonderful is that they only need to pay half the price.

The further Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai walked west of the city, the more they felt that something was wrong.Silk ribbons fluttered everywhere, the scent of pollen was tangy, and even the air carried a romantic and sentimental taste.Tang Lin paused between the two flower buildings, and asked Xiao Zibai suspiciously: "Did we come to the wrong place? It doesn't look like a restaurant here..."

"Not only is it not like a restaurant, but I don't think the scenery in the west of the city is very good." Xiao Zibai looked at the flamboyant pink lanterns on the surrounding buildings with disgust.

Tang Lin frowned and looked around, an awkward feeling almost overflowed from his bones.He simply took Xiao Zibai's hand and said, "Otherwise, let's go first. It doesn't matter if we don't eat this fried fish." Xiao Zibai also felt that something was wrong, so he nodded bluntly, and the two turned around and were about to leave But someone wrapped a pearl hairpin in a silk handkerchief and threw it in their direction.

Xiao Zibai and Tang Lin's skills were tempered many times by the jade slips dropped by Kong Liu, and this kind of gadgets thrown by mortals was no problem at all.Even without Tang Lin's hand, Xiao Zibai easily reached out and took the thing in his hand.

"What is this?" Just now after taking a closer look, Xiao Zibai flicked the wrist that caught the thing, and then he was about to throw the thing out subconsciously.His actions attracted Tang Lin's attention, and Tang Lin turned his head to look curiously. The moment he saw the thing clearly, he quickly grabbed Xiao Zibai's wrist: "Don't move!"

He drank softly, and Xiao Zibai held the silk handkerchief printed with lip balm like a hot potato: "I, I, I really didn't know it would be this! Tang Lin, listen to my explanation!"

But Tang Lin ignored him, directly pulled the silk handkerchief out of his hand, brought it to his nose and sniffed it carefully, at the moment when Xiao Zibai's face was about to change, he frowned and said in doubt: "Why is there a monster in here?"

It turned out to be a monster!Originally thinking that Tang Lin had suddenly become interested in the owner of Lipstick, Xiao Zibai immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.After thinking about it, he felt that his focus was wrong, so he calmly remedied it: "Monster Qi? Is it from this silk handkerchief?"

Tang Lin shook his head: "No, it's this one..." He sized up the ambiguous marks, and managed to pick out a less obvious word: "...This is on the makeup marks." The so-called "fat marks" are Under the interplay of moonlight and lights, it was clearly reflected, and the red lips on the white silk handkerchief were charming, and they were clearly the lip marks of a woman.

"Maybe the owner of this powder is a monster?" Xiao Zibai forcibly ignored the shape of the powder, and followed his words to guess.Tang Lin looked up at the laughing prostitutes leaning on the building, trying to find a suspicious person among them, but after searching for a long time to no avail, he had to ask Xiao Zibai with the silk handkerchief, "Do you remember where this handkerchief came from?" Was it thrown from somewhere?"

Xiao Zibai was about to stretch out his hand to point in the direction, when another object was thrown diagonally from above, and Tang Lin caught it firmly.When he looked up, he saw a woman in Chinese clothes with cloudy temples and beautiful face half leaning on the flower building and smiling at the two of them. When Xiao Zibai was still wondering "why does this woman have such a strange expression", Tang Lin had already acted casually. Holding up the silk handkerchief, after seeing the same vivid lip marks on it, he smiled at the woman upstairs.

Xiao Zibai: "...What are you laughing at?" You have to smile at me, why are you smiling at that woman!

Before Xiao Zibai blew his hair, Tang Lin said just right: "There is also a monster in this powder mark." It was like when a puffer fish puffed up to the maximum, someone suddenly pricked its body, Xiao The aura on Zibai's body immediately weakened, and he responded with a low voice "Oh".

Tang Lin chuckled lightly and pulled at him: "Let's go, and also go to the mortal brothel Chu Guan."

As soon as the word "brothel Chuguan" came out, Xiao Zibai, who had never been to a similar place in his life, immediately realized it. He glanced at the eye-catching pink lanterns, and suddenly muttered: "I said, how do you use these lanterns?" What about this color?"

"The color of the lantern is never the key point, right?" Tang Lin was a little speechless about Xiao Zibai's brooding point, and Xiao Zibai began to eloquently talk about the connection between the choice of the color of the lantern and the overall color scheme of the house After popularizing science for him, Tang Lin listened to it once or twice at first, but later, his expression was completely "unclear".

Pulling Xiao Zibai, who was still eloquent, Tang Lin walked straight into the flower building while saying "ah" and "yes" again and again. Before he reached the door, there was a burst of fragrance The wind suddenly blew from the building, Tang Lin stopped immediately and sneezed loudly.

Xiao Zibai was startled, stopped talking, turned to look at Tang Shi, Tang Lin sneezed again and again.

"What's wrong with you!" Xiao Zibai's expression was extremely surprised, he hurriedly patted Tang Lin's shoulder a few times, but obviously it didn't have any effect.Tang Lin let out a "choo" and rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "The smell is too pungent." He whispered, and explained to Xiao Zibai through the contract: "Recently, I may have to make a breakthrough. I'm getting more and more sensitive, this smells like flowers, powder and powder, and also has a demonic aura, I'm really... really..."

Tang Lin said, shaking his head with a wry smile.He originally wanted to go up to the tall building to have a look, it would be better to get in touch with that woman again, but he didn't expect to be forced out by the terrible fragrance before entering the door of the flower building.Xiao Zibai was still in a daze, Tang Lin soon became an "Ah Choo" again.

He had to fish a handkerchief out of his storage bag to cover his nose.

Tang Lin glanced at Xiao Zibai, his expression was very melancholy: "Why is the fragrance here so terrible? I've never been like this before, even the time in Huahai..."

"Wait, Huahai?" Xiao Zibai was patting Tang Lin's shoulder, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration after hearing this, and hurriedly asked Tang Lin, "What are the rouge and gouache made of?"

"The gouache...it seems to be rice." Tang Lin covered his mouth and nose, and said in a low voice, "But the rouge seems to be made of flowers?"

"So it is!" Xiao Zibai patted Tang Lin's shoulder subconsciously, and made a "pop", Tang Lin gave Xiao Zibai a hard look.

"What kind of flower? Is it the kind we have seen in the sea of ​​flowers?" Xiao Zibai asked, Tang Lin rubbed his shoulder that hurt from being patted, and said angrily: "How do I know!" Xiao Zibai heard that his tone was wrong , Only then did he realize his mistake, and hurried over to rub Tang Lin's shoulders. After rubbing a few times, Tang Lin finally calmed down, but after thinking about it, he still said: "I really don't know—not specifically Those who do this, how can they know these things.”

Xiao Zibai thought for a moment, and suggested to Tang Lin: "I think we can go to the cosmetic shop to have a look."

This proposal was good, and Tang Lin immediately agreed, but it was night, how could any cosmetic shop be open at night?After thinking of this, Tang Lin also thought of the shopkeeper's intention of telling them to "come again in the evening", and couldn't help but pouted at those flower houses: "These scenery are really beautiful."

Xiao Zibai laughed: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's not as beautiful as yours." Tang Lin also wanted to smile back to him, but as soon as the smile touched his lips, he couldn't help but "sneeze" again: "Long Tian silk is so beautiful!" Not even a handkerchief can stop the terrible aroma!Xiao Zibai quickly pinched Tang Lin's nose, and whispered to him, "Don't breathe, you won't sneeze if you don't breathe."

Tang Lingang wanted to say, "If I don't breathe, am I going to suffocate myself?" Suddenly, I remembered that my family was already a demon cultivator who formed an alchemy. If I didn't breathe, nothing would happen, so a big problem was solved.

Anyway, it's night now, the makeup shop is closed, Tang Lin won't sneeze anymore.The two of them discussed for a while, and decided to pretend that nothing happened, and went straight to the flower house.

The flower building was brightly lit at the moment, and on a wooden platform in the center, a woman in scarlet clothes was dancing around to the beat of the drums.She has two pure white feet, her long hair is scattered like splashed ink, and the jewels in her hair are dotted like stars, which stand out against the dark carpet with complicated patterns.

As the drum beats became more and more frenzied, her dance steps gradually became more and more frenzied. Every step was thrilling, as if stepping on the apex of people's hearts. The people in the audience watched intently and held their breath for a while .

Tang Lin only took a look at the stage, then lightly hooked his lips and said to Xiao Zibai: "The cat demon."

The woman turned around at this moment, with a pair of clear blue eyes, like fine gems, she smiled at the crowd, shining brightly.

The crowd gasped obsessively.

Xiao Zibai raised his eyebrows, and asked Tang Lin, "Message?" Tang Lin nodded indifferently, shrugged and said to him, "Do you know who I think of when I see this cat demon?"

"Who?" Xiao Zibai asked following the words, Tang Lin propped his chin lazily, and pointed at the obsessed mortals below with the tip of his chin: "I think of the fox whose head was chopped off by a sword in the Langhuan Secret Realm. Demon."

Xiao Zibai suddenly realized.

He took a closer look at the cat demon, and it turned out that he was also a well-established one. "How come these days, one or two of the goblins who have built the foundation come to charm mortals? What can mortals deserve their charm?" Xiao Zibai said in a puzzled way through the contract, while Tang Lin followed the old bustard who came up to inquire As he spoke, he answered Xiao Zibai with a divided mind: "Blood essence? Yang energy? Who knows, maybe some old ancestor wanted to use something from a mortal to make alchemy."

Xiao Zibai just took a sip of the drink that was brought up, and he almost burst out after hearing Tang Lin's words: "Use mortals...to make alchemy?"

"How could you do this!" Xiao Zibai was shocked by this. Tang Lin sent the bustard away, eyes drooping, looking expressionlessly at the wine glass that had just been delivered to him, and asked him, "Why can't you?" How do you do this? Just like someone would use the flesh and blood essence of the Yaozu to make alchemy to make a magic weapon, why can't the Yaozu use people to make alchemy?"

Xiao Zibai's breath was suffocated: he suddenly realized that the question he had just touched touched the Min between them!sense line.

He hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I just...just..." Just what?It's just that he can't stand his compatriots being refined into pills by the monster race?Should Tang Lin endure the demon race being turned into a magic weapon by the human race?

Xiao Zibai was speechless for a while, not knowing how to explain, Tang Lin picked up his chopsticks and tapped on the bowl lightly, and said to him, "Eat vegetables."

So they ate vegetables, but the atmosphere between the two became stiff in vain.

Xiao Zibai picked up and down the dishes with his chopsticks in boredom, he had no intention of eating the dishes at all, he was only thinking about how to explain to Tang Lin.Tang Lin, on the other hand, never raised his eyelids from the beginning to the end, and only picked up the dish in front of him with his chopsticks.

The dish in front of Tang Lin was being cut down at a slow speed, while the dish in front of Xiao Zibai was so messy that it couldn't be seen.

If they were staying in an ordinary restaurant now, the atmosphere might be deadlocked for a long time, until Xiao Zibai found a way to let Tang Lin calm down, by then the food and wine might have been completely cold.

But what they are staying in now is not an ordinary restaurant, but a brothel.

Therefore, when the atmosphere was still tense, the old bustard brought a girl up with a charming smile, and said to them happily: "My Baizhi is best at cutting fish. Since the two young masters like it, let her cut it first." Look." The girl looked pretty, and stood shyly in front of them, and unambiguously rolled up her long sleeves, revealing her white lotus arms.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or on purpose, but when she came up, she was standing beside Tang Lin, and after showing her arms like this, both arms were right in front of Tang Lin.

Xiao Zibai really wanted to say something offensive, but they came to the brothel Chuguan?Don't be a bit outrageous here, do you want to recite poems and paint?

His words choked in his throat, and he could only watch the girl named Bai Zhi smile timidly at Tang Lin.

Just when Xiao Zibai was almost choked to death by Bai Zhi's smile, Tang Lin suddenly half-raised his eyelids, and said to the old bustard: "This name is not good, it offends my friend's name taboo, please change it. "Then he slipped a dozen banknotes to the old bustard.

Naturally, the old bustard had nothing to do with getting the silver, so she changed the name of the girl named Baizhi to Qianhua on the spot, and Xiao Zibai noticed that Baizhi also had Bai in her name.Before he could be happy, the girl whose name was newly changed to Qianhua turned towards Tang Lin with a charming figure, and said "Thank you, young master, for the name" in a coquettish voice. If Tang Lin didn't hide quickly, she would be pretty The crisp breasts were about to rub against Tang Lin's arms.

Xiao Zibai was really about to choke to death this time.

Seeing that Qian Hua was about to show Tang Lin her [-] martial arts skills, Tang Lin only lazily closed his eyelids and said casually, "I heard that you are good at fish meat?" With a wink, he motioned to the turtle slave to bring the big live fish as soon as possible.

The live fish was brought up soon, and the tail of the fish slapped on the chopping board. Qian Hua gently pressed both hands on the fish, and the fish could not move immediately, and she pulled it up again. The bright sharp knife at the side was about to strike when a lazy and charming voice suddenly came from behind.

"Does the guest want to eat?"

The scarlet-clothed woman who was dancing on the high platform walked over gracefully, her blue eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a bit of interest, and the bright jewels on her head were hidden in the thick hair, like It is the star river twinkling in the dark night sky.The woman just walked up step by step, and the pretty girl named Qian Hua was immediately compared to the mud by her, even the two lotus root arms seemed not so white, not even whiter than the cat demon The toes of the red fruit.

Tang Lin tilted his head halfway, glanced at her with disinterest, and asked her, "What's your name?"

The cat demon smiled slightly at Tang Lin: "Gulides." When she said this, her tone still carried that lazy and charming tone: "My name is Guledes."

Tang Lin nodded irresolutely: "All right, then you."

So Guli Daisi with a lazy smile on her lips, glanced at the dying fish that was pressed by Qianhua, and said without a doubt: "How can you eat this kind of food for guests! Hurry up and change it." !" Her words seemed to be more effective than the old bustard, and immediately someone came to replace the live fish on the table that couldn't even shake its tail, Qian Hua took this opportunity to quickly back down, and the whole table Only Tang Lin and Guli Daisi were left... Oh no, there was also Xiao Zibai.

Xiao Zibai on the side seemed to be completely forgotten by them.
