Dark Fairy

Chapter 144
Bailang went to see the house that Fat Dog mentioned, and it was indeed not bad.And although the price of the two golds has indeed increased a lot, it is not unacceptable.Because the money does not need him to pay.

"That's all. Can we transfer the title deed today?"

"Yes! The original owner of this house opened a shop in the city. He is an old rich man. You can transfer the land deed anytime you pay. Today is absolutely no problem."

As Fat Dog said, the land deed transfer is very easy.After he settled down here, the owner of the house soon came over, went all the way to the yamen, settled the money face to face, and the house came under Bailang's name.

"Brother Bai, it's not a loss. This house will go up even if it's left alone, I reckon it might go up to three gold." Fat Dog doesn't think Bailang will buy a similar house to live in by himself.Moreover, I have never heard that Bailang has any relatives in Yongchuan City.Although Bailang doesn't admit it, Fat Dog still believes that Bailang buys a house because the price will increase if he hoards it.

Bailang nodded and didn't reply.At the same time, he took out two pieces of silver from his pocket and stuffed them into Fat Dog's hands.

"Okay, you know my temper, just take it if I give it to you. Otherwise, I won't be able to talk to you next time something happens."

Only after that did Fat Dog thank Bailang and accept the money.

"It's still the old rule. You ask someone to help me tidy up the inside and outside of the house, replace all the furniture that needs to be replaced inside, and then arrange all the bedding, pots and pans and other utensils." Bai Lang While talking, he took five pieces of silver to Fat Dog.

"If it's not enough, I'll make it up for you later."

"Don't worry, Brother Bai, I'll take care of it."

Fat Dog left in a hurry, Bailang went into the house again and walked around, he still liked this place very much.Even better than the haunted house he bought.

But Bailang didn't live in this house by himself, he didn't have Lei Liu or female ghost Lingyu in his own house, now the haze has been swept away, and he's used to living in it.

This house was prepared by Bailang for Huang Yi's niece.It's a fulfillment of a promise.If the other party doesn't want to stay in Yongchuan City, it won't hurt to sell the house.Then attach Huang Yi's inheritance, Bailang's promise is in place.

After such a busy circle of things, it was already afternoon when Bailang returned to Qianfang.

On the way back, one could already see gorgeous carriages heading towards Yuhua Street.Or they walked past in twos and threes wearing long gowns, all dressed up, and some even held a folding fan in their hands. Whenever the fan was opened, you could see exquisite paintings or calligraphy on the fan.At first glance, he is a scholar who has been baptized by poetry and books.

"Why are you going over so early?"

"I heard that there will be an early warm-up performance at Shuanghualou, led by the singers trained in Shuanghualou, and some poetry competitions among guests will be interspersed. I heard that the rewards are generous, and the first prize is even higher." I can get a folding fan hand-painted by everyone in Hongxiu." Speaking of tonight's performance, Wang Bing is very thorough.

"I see. This is supposed to show off the singer's abilities and increase her worth?" Bai Lang said with a smile.

"Isn't that right? It is said that Shuanghua Tower spent a lot of money to hold this big performance. We must find a way to get it back. But I heard that there is also a singer in Shuanghua Tower who is very good at playing the piano and singing. This This time, I also wanted to ask everyone from Hongxiu for advice. Besides, that singer seems to be just performing arts, she is very proud."

"Divas only perform arts?" It was the first time Bailang heard that the women in Hualou only performed arts.What's the difference between this and the dishes in restaurants that are only for smell and not for eating?
Wang Bing also knew that what he said was strange, so he continued: "It is said that the singer is the only one in Yongchuan City. It is because of her great piano skills and singing voice that the owner and the madam of Shuanghua Tower have endured it till now. .”

"So powerful? What's your name?"

"Well, it seems to be called Xun'er, yes, she is a silver medal singer. If Xun'er is willing to receive customers, she would have been a gold medal."

Kaoru?

Bailang was taken aback when he heard this, he knew the name very well!The person Huang Yi begged him to redeem before he died was called Xun'er, and his full name should be Qin Xun'er.

All Bailang knew before was that Qin Xun'er was a silver medal singer, and he didn't care about anything else.Zhou Dong was not very interested in the singers in the flower house, and felt that the girls in Ma Liu's hands were more beneficial.So I don’t know much about Shuanghua Tower.Zhou Zhonghao, on the other hand, was in a high position and didn't take a mere singer seriously at all.

That's why Bailang came here to realize that the person he wants to redeem is so special.

"Let's go and see the excitement!" Bailang suddenly felt curious.

Bailang set off here, and soon encountered several red knives from the knives shop on the road.Among them, Zhang Xun was the one he was most familiar with. The two went there together, and Zhang Xun told him a lot about the situation on the other side of the rope lane.

"Master Liu and Qu Feng are not going to join in the fun. The seat knife is still in retreat and will not pass. The remaining few red knives will also be kept half in the hemp rope alley in case of accidents.

In fact, I don't want to go there, and I don't understand the piano, and I can't make up the money to buy the lamp today, just to watch the excitement.

But Mr. Liu said that he still needs to show some support, otherwise the previous performance would be too fake.I was one of the unlucky ones called out to join in the show.

But you kid actually received the invitation. As far as I know, this kind of invitation is usually only issued to people with the status of Red Sword and above. It seems that Shuanghualou has already regarded your promotion to Red Sword as a certainty! "

Zhang Xun's words made Bailang say "dare not".

But Zhang Xun didn't take it seriously, and smiled straight: "Why don't you dare? With your ability, you will go to the red knife sooner or later. And this time so many red swords died, Liu She has not finished fighting the corpses yet. You Why don't you go up and let the shopkeeper of Qianfang be so vacant? From my point of view, when the news of this time passes, it's time for you to get the red knife."

Bailang had been with Zhang Xun before because he was transferred to the East Market to learn things, and later Zhang Xun also helped Bailang with the affairs of Da Zhangzhuang.Now that Zhang Xun is also in Bailang's fortune-making bureau, the relationship between the two is naturally even closer.

Bailang was not all polite, he followed Zhang Xun's words and said, "Then I will borrow your good words from Master Zhang!"

The two walked while chatting, and soon followed the increasingly dense crowds of cars and horses and people into Yuhua Street. After the invitation was announced, they followed a turtle man into the Shuanghua Building.

As soon as he stepped into Shuanghua Tower, Bailang's spiritual senses, which were habitually open, were touched.He had a similar feeling to when he was helping the female ghost Lingyu refine an umbrella.The difference is that the Yin Umbrella exudes the extremely yin and evil energy of the formation, while what is emitted here is a very subtle and temporarily non-threatening mana fluctuation.The common point is that both are caused by the magic circle.

"A magic circle has been set up here? Covering the entire Shuanghua Tower?!" Bailang secretly had a guess in his heart.At the same time, his eyes passed over the luxurious decorations surrounded by flowers and silk and satin, and finally fell on the things in the building that seemed to him the most suspicious.

What is suspicious is the cyan lanterns hanging all over the Frost Flower Tower. Some special chips are attached to them, making them look gorgeous like fiery red frost flowers.Very atmospheric.

But in Bailang's eyes, the chips attached to these lanterns are not so simple, they are colorless and transparent but densely textured, but it's just that they can't be seen at all unless you look carefully.

But Bailang, as a Qi refiner who bears the blue word "Formation Fragment", although he doesn't know the origin of the patterns engraved on the chip on these lanterns, it is still possible to tell whether it is a formation or not.
