Chapter 17 Watching the Oiran

After they agreed, Gu Shiyi planned to go out for a stroll, but the king clamored to go out.
"How long have I been keeping this broken earthen jar? Why don't you give me a new one?"

Gu Shiyi thought that a flower pot was not worth much, so he nodded and agreed, then he hugged the king and went out with Li Yan'er hidden in his chest. The excitement on the streets of Xuancheng was naturally not caused by her. It can be compared to a small town, but Gu Shiyi is a person who has traveled around the world and witnessed big scenes. He has long been used to seeing these. However, Li Yaner and the king were dazzled by it. Li Yaner whispered on Gu Shiyi's chest,
"The women's clothing here is indeed much better than those in the town..."

Gu Shiyi smiled and nodded and said,

"That's natural. There are many merchant ships coming and going here. Six hundred miles upstream is the Shuangsheng City, the second most prosperous city in Yue Kingdom. The prosperity there is second only to Huangjing, and there are not as many powerful people as Huangjing. But there are so many wealthy merchants, and all the good-looking patterns are spread from there. When merchants from the Twin Holy Cities come here by boat, they will bring new styles to Xuancheng. The women's clothing here is naturally Much prettier than the ones in small towns!”

This woman's love for beauty is the same no matter which world she is in. Even those female monks who are practicing in the mountain gates will inevitably have to move their mortal hearts to buy clothes in the secular world occasionally, let alone the women in the mortal world!
Speaking of this, Gu Shiyi was very experienced and laughed and said,

"The best and latest styles of clothes are found in the brothel Chuguan. If you want to see beautiful clothes, we have to go there!"

"Beautiful brothel?"

"The girls there think about how to please men all day long, and they are especially good at guessing men's thoughts. They also hired embroiderers who are good at making clothes to think about this. No matter what they make, they let the girls try it on in front of the men first. You Can you tell me if it doesn’t look good?”

How is this different from fashion shows in that industry?

Women wear clothes for men to see, and of course they take them off, so the best clothes makers are men!

Gu Shishi said to Li Yaner,
"Going out from Nancheng is the dock. There are many flower boats on the dock there, which are dedicated to the business of traveling merchants..."

As she spoke, she looked up at the weather.

"We're going over now. It's getting dark and the girls are going out to do business. You can have a good look!"

Before Li Yaner responded, the king shook the branches repeatedly.

"Go, go, I'm going! I'm going!"

Gu Shiyi was so frightened that he grabbed it and looked around.

"Are you crazy? There are Qingling Guards stationed in Xuancheng. Are you planning to kill them as monsters?"

The Qing Ling Guards also kill monsters when they see them, but they only open the door to large and powerful sects. For a little Taoist nun like Gu Shiyi, who is powerless and helpless, naturally no one will ask you this question. Whether the spirits are good or bad, just kill them all!
Everyone on the street was walking in a hurry, and the king shouted out. Fortunately, some people just glanced at the countryman holding a broken pot out of curiosity. Gu Shiyi laughed at the man, and ran into the alley with the king in his arms. Inside, we took a small road to the south gate.

When she arrived at the South City Gate, at the East City Gate not far from Xuancheng, there were five gloomy-looking men lining up to enter the city.

"Brother, did the old Taoist priest and the woman really come to Xuancheng?"

Someone moved his lips and seemed to be mumbling to himself, but no mortal around him heard his voice. Another man hummed and said,

"The ruined temple looked like it had been cleaned up, and everything that could be taken away was taken away. The old Taoist priest must have discovered something and ran away with his female apprentice. Although we were delayed along the way, we used the money given by the sect master. The pills have replenished the mana, and they should be able to chase quickly. The largest and closest city on this road is Xuancheng. Xuancheng is connected to waterways. If they want to escape, the fastest and best way is to take waterways. When searching for the soul of the turtle spirit ahead, , isn’t it said that a woman drove a carriage into the mountain..."

It's a pity that the turtle spirit was hiding in the mountain stream. He only knew that someone had entered the mountain and headed towards Xuancheng. If he asked more questions, he would know nothing. The boss thought to himself,

"The sect master said that Qi Jiufeng is just a Taoist priest from the mortal Taoist sect. He has only learned a few Taoist techniques and has not even touched the sect of cultivation. He has been hiding for so many years without knowing what method he used. Even Tianyimen and Zhengyuan Zong, one of the best sects in Da Viet, sent his disciples to search for it several times but to no avail. This time, for some unknown reason, the treasure hunt plate in the sect that had been silent for a long time suddenly glowed in the middle of the night. The sect leader suggested that the old Taoist priest might have a way to hide it. It’s related to one’s destiny, and now it’s almost time for the old Taoist priest to return to the West, so the treasure can no longer be hidden, so his whereabouts are revealed..."

It's a pity that although the sect master gave him the treasure-hunting plate, there was too much movement on the plate...

It's also strange that Lao Wu was too aggressive in practicing the Blood Evil Spiritual Light Technique. He couldn't suppress his murderous intention. He killed several mortals for a trivial matter and attracted the Qingling Guards. They could only escape quickly along the way without daring to do so. Search the surroundings carefully, otherwise they would be so half-guessed. If the person they are looking for cannot be found in Xuancheng, then they will have no choice but to go back and forth and trigger the treasure hunt to search again!
Thinking of this, the leading man could not help but glare at Lao Wu among the brothers. Lao Wu and his brother naturally knew what he meant for a long time, and felt guilty. They immediately shrunk their necks and did not dare to make eye contact with him.

Lao Wu has a hot temper, but he also knows who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked. He dares to contradict the other brothers, but he does not even dare to make eye contact with the eldest brother!
Not far behind them, the three cultivators of Qingling Guard were far behind, maintaining a distance that was neither far nor close. The man named Wen said,
"Lord Baiwei, thanks to your secret tracking skills, you can track them without using your spiritual consciousness..."

Another young man among the three asked with some confusion,
"Your Excellency, we have clearly caught up with them in the mountains. With the seven or eight levels of cultivation of these evil cultivators, even Your Excellency can capture them in one fell swoop. Why don't you take action?"

Instead, he pretended to have been deceived by them, pretending not to recognize them, and quickly passed in front of these five people?
The man with a gentle smile glanced at him and smiled,

"I'm just curious, who are they looking for so much?"

Although the evil cultivators are not afraid of the Qingling Guards, their random killing of mortals has attracted the attention of the Qingling Guards. Unless they are unable to retreat in the future, they will be hunted down by the Qingling Guards whenever they walk on this continent. Ordinary evil cultivators To avoid trouble, we generally won’t take action unless absolutely necessary!

So what is so special about the old Taoist priest they are looking for?

As he spoke, his expression changed.
"They have entered the city, let's go in too!"

The three of them calmed down their aura, disguised themselves as three Confucian scholars and mingled with the crowd entering the city. They paid the city gate tax like ordinary mortals and entered the city.

At this time, Gu Shiyi was lying on the guardrail by the river in the south of the city, looking at the beautiful girl in the flower boat. From her slightly open head, Li Yaner poked her head out and looked in the same direction as her.
"Look, the one in red is a front-line guy right here with you, right?"

"Uh-huh……"

Li Yaner nodded,
"A face and figure like this would cost hundreds of millions a year in our country. What a pity!"

"What's the pity? I'm an courtesan in a brothel in Xuancheng. She wants to show off her skills and her body, but there are many wealthy businessmen behind her to support her... The money she earns in a year is no less than a first-rate person. If she meets an honest person, , pay a large sum of money and you can go home and live with an honest man!"

"Uh-huh……"

Those who are talented and beautiful are much better than those on the front lines!

The king on the side saw a tree in the Flower Boat Hall and shouted dissatisfied,
"Gu Shiyi, look at this house, that jar is made of white porcelain with gold painted on it. I want to live like that too!"

The king lowered his head and looked at the clay pot at his feet. He was very disgusted. Gu Shiyi coaxed it.

"My dear king, we have to go a long way. If we buy porcelain, it would be a pity if it is broken. It would be great to use this kind of mud for filling. It is cheap, easy to use and breathable. It only looks good, but is airtight and watertight. , you will get bored if you stay in there..." "Really?"

The king tilted the tip of the tree, his tone full of disbelief,
"Gu Shiyi, don't lie to me!"

Gu Shiyi said seriously,

"What do you know? These things planted on flower boats are just for good looks. This kind of money tree will die within two months and will be thrown into the kitchen and burned as firewood. Do you want to be like it? ?”

The king trembled.
"I do not want!"

The three of them were muttering by the moat, watching the flower boats coming and going, and commenting on the girls on them, as if they were watching a free fashion show, during which a few indifferent girls came over. Chatting with Gu Shiyi, Gu Shiyi spread his hands.
"I don't have any money, can I do it for free?"

"Bah! Good idea!"

The girls were furious when they heard this, took a sip, waved their handkerchiefs, and walked away. Li Yaner chuckled, and Gu Shiyi had an expression on his face that said such a small scene was not worth mentioning.

"When I was five years old, I traveled around the world with an old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest was also a lecherous person. Every time he went to a city, he would visit places like this. Following him, I saw the world become more and more popular. Once, two groups of prostitutes started to fight. After a dispute, I picked up a knife and stabbed someone, and the blood flew everywhere, and the blood even splashed on my face. Didn’t I just eat and drink as usual..."

That time the old Taoist priest took her and ran away without even paying the prostitution fee!
Gu Shiyi had been bragging about the beetle for a long time, and was about to say more when he suddenly seemed to notice something. He suddenly stopped talking, looked around, then raised his head to look at the sky, and murmured,

"It's changed!"

Li Yaner also looked up, and sure enough, she saw that the moon that was still hanging in the sky had been covered by dark clouds. Gu Shiyi clasped his fingers and muttered a few words, and said,
"It's time to go back!"

Li Yan'er nodded, suddenly shrank her head, and imitated Gu Shiyi's look, looking around.
"Eleven, why do I feel a little cold?"

She is now a clay figure and has lost all five senses. How can she feel cold?

Gu Shiyi sighed,

"It's bad luck. Even if you come to see an oiran, you'll encounter something unclean!"

She turned around and left. After walking a while, she heard someone calling her.

"This little brother, are you going to spend the night on the boat?"

Gu Shi replied casually without looking back,
"If I don't have any money, can I have sex for free?"

"……Okay!"

The woman's voice behind him responded softly. Gu Shiyi paused, then quickened his pace again, and said,

"You're too ugly, you don't want me to have sex for free!"

As he spoke, he hugged the king and walked forward quickly with his head lowered. However, after walking a few steps, he saw a woman in red standing five steps in front of her. She had not applied makeup and her face was pale. However, her facial features were pretty good and she had a slim figure. …

Gu Shiyi glanced at her tiptoes and looked at her calmly. The woman in red looked resentful.
"Little brother... you keep your head down and don't look at the slave family. How do you know that the slave family is not good-looking?"

Gu Shiyi raised his head and raised two fingers expressionlessly.
"First, I am a woman. Second, are you addicted to this flesh and blood business? You have become a ghost and you still come out to solicit customers?"

Gu Shiyi revealed the female ghost's identity in one sentence. The female ghost's expression immediately changed, and a ferocious look appeared on her face.
"Do you think I want it?"

His voice suddenly became hoarse, and his face changed. His beautiful facial features suddenly disappeared, turning into a face that had been scratched messily with a sharp blade, and his flesh and blood were turned out.

"How can I walk in this world if I don't absorb Yang Qi!"

Gu Shiyi looked indifferent when he saw the strange thing, looked at her face carefully and asked,

"Who scratched your face?"

Seeing that Gu Shiyi was not afraid, the female ghost was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at the flower boats that were still singing and dancing in the river, and her eyes fell on the woman who was also wearing red.
"Oh, I see!"

Gu Shi nodded, hugged the king and walked around the female ghost before leaving. However, just after taking a few steps, his vision blurred, and the female ghost's rotten face came right in front of her.
"You are not allowed to go!"

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes.
"It's not like I scratched your face. Whoever scratched it will do it. You wantonly kill people. Be careful of being caught by ghosts and sent to the eighteenth level of hell to be tortured..."

The female ghost said fiercely,

"Do you think I am willing... We are all sisters who came out together. Why did she want to harm me? She is now an oiran. She used a talisman to suppress me under the flower tree and prevented me from being reincarnated. If I didn't If you suck a person's yang energy, your soul will be gone within three days, and you will never be reincarnated!"

Gu Shiyi's expression changed when he heard this.
"Did she prevent you from being reborn?"

The female ghost's face was distorted, showing a very malicious expression, and she pointed at the woman in red who was dancing on the flower boat,
"She used to be at odds with me and often competed with me for guests. One time she tricked me into drinking wine and strangled me to death. She also scratched my face and pressed my bones into the flower bed. I also spent a lot of money to buy a talisman that would not even allow my soul to escape, making it impossible for me to be reincarnated. Only at the end of each month can I have a chance to escape..."

Do you think she wants to harm someone?
"A talisman?"

The female ghost nodded,

"The talisman is carved on the tree..."
