Chapter 35 She is not human
Zhou Tieyi stood up and drank a cup of strong tea, and most of the energy he had consumed in practicing Buddhism today was restored.
At this time, Bai Mei, who had been outside to inquire about the news, also came back.
"Who was yelling outside just now?"
Bai Mei's expression was a little complicated, and she replied, "It's a nephew who came down from Madam Mountain. He needs to stay in the mansion for a while."
"Just stay overnight, why are you making a fuss in the middle of the day?"
Zhou Tieyi complained unhappily. He thought of the half poem that the guy had just written, and he had an idea. He picked up a pen and paper and wrote it down.
"Since ancient times, there have been many people who have come to ask for advice, but the peach and plum trees still smile to welcome the spring."
"Take it, give it to that man, and tell him not to make any noise at noon next time."
Bai Mei took the paper and said with difficulty, "This is not good."
Zhou Tieyi just woke up and was still a little confused. "What's wrong with that?"
Bai Mei put away the paper and quickly talked about another matter, "Just now, the eldest master sent someone to tell you not to go anywhere tonight and to go out with him at the hour of Xu."
The hour of Xu?
Zhou Tieyi thought about it and felt that the chance of something happening in the wild world tonight was quite small, so he could go out for a while. Even if something happened, he could find an excuse after praying over there. At worst, he would have to sit in the toilet for an hour.
That night, the sunset glowed, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
An ordinary carriage drove out from the backyard of the Zhou Mansion and headed towards Suzaku City.
In the carriage, Zhou Tieyi and his brother sat opposite each other. Zhou Tieyi asked curiously, "Brother, you won't take me to drink wine in the middle of the night?"
It has been a long time since he last went to Linshuixuan.
First of all, the white plum blossoms at home are beautiful.
Secondly, practicing qigong is addictive.
Zhou Tiege glared at Zhou Tieyi angrily, "Don't go to places like that!"
Zhou Tieyi responded casually, "Actually, that kind of place isn't just for drinking and having fun..."
Linshuixuan has the prince's endorsement and is comparable to the top clubs in the previous life. There are many well-informed people in it, and it is also considered one of the top intelligence agencies.
Wine and dancing are just one of them; there are also a series of activities such as gambling, fighting, and opening treasures. The bigwigs in the court are well-dressed and are reluctant to do things that are driven by profit.
But in the Linshui Pavilion, he took off his clothes and listened to the passionate music, and inevitably he was overwhelmed by the passion.
Therefore, brothels may be the earliest and most dynamic commercial project of mankind. In the foreseeable future, as long as humans need to reproduce, they will continue to exist, but in different forms.
Although Zhou Tiege is older, he has been staying in places like Sunset Pass to look after sows in recent years and has not been exposed to these twists and turns much.
The carriage left Baihu City, accelerated, and headed towards Suzaku City.
The top practitioners in this world can move mountains and fill the sea, so it is meaningless to build ordinary city walls. The four cities of Azure Dragon and White Tiger guard Kyoto, but they are more like modern satellite cities, with only checkpoints, no city walls, and no curfew.
After entering Suzaku City, there were obviously more people here. The carriages were driving on the fairly spacious four-wheel drive lane, stopping and starting frequently.
Zhou Tieyi lifted the carriage curtain and looked to both sides. The floor lamps were shaped like square palace lanterns, standing like a tree, emitting a circle of soft orange-yellow flames.
The ground lamp in this world was also invented by the Mohists. It is a huge formation that draws power from the earth's veins, absorbing the endless power of the earth's veins and converting it into energy for the ground lamp.
However, the cost of building and maintaining this formation is too high. Even in the entire Daxia, only ten cities have installed it.
When passing by the entrance of Qingyifang, the traffic was so congested that Zhou Tiege simply took Zhou Tieyi off the car and asked the driver to return the same way. After entering Qingyifang, it became even more lively.
The buildings on both sides are divided into two floors.
The lower floor was crowded with shops. A hawker with a painted face blew up a sugar tiger in one breath, which made the children nearby so amused that they kept shouting for their parents to buy it.
The fried cake rolled around in the pan and swelled up. The aroma of rice mixed with the aroma of oil blew far away in the warm spring breeze.
The upper floors are all semi-open-air balconies, with colorful lights dotted and connected, interweaving in a network, so complex that it even dims the moonlight.
On a terrace, a red-faced young man dressed as a general yelled and was about to hit the dragon with a long stick in his hand. However, he was invited back inside halfway through the performance. The people below who were watching the show with great interest got itchy and a waiter came out immediately to call out for him.
Only forty cents!
Not only can you watch "Qi Xiaosheng Fights the Dragon in the Night Rain", but you can also receive two taels of peach blossom wine and a plate of peanuts!
When you are satisfied with the movie, you can drink a glass of wine, chew two peanuts, and discuss heroes of the past and present with your classmates. That would be a wonderful thing.
Isn't this much more interesting than drinking wine?
Zhou Tieyi was also watching with great interest. He had only encountered such lively scenes a few times at temple fairs when he was a child.
Seeing Zhou Tieyi was about to find a building to hide in.
But Zhou Tiege lifted his collar and said with a smile, "The storytelling here is all about the old things. Come on, I'll take you to listen to the new storytelling!"
After that, he took Zhou Tieyi to the best restaurant in Qingyifang and bought two pots of Zui Chunfeng.
Passing by the street corner again, he skillfully bought braised beef, a smoked pig ear, stir-fried snails with red oil, a whole beggar's chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, and fried crispy small yellow croaker, peas, and peanuts, all of which were carried by Zhou Tieyi.
After walking a few blocks, the road became narrower and narrower, and I could only hear the sound of opera in the distance. The rows of small courtyards with two or three entrances here were much shorter than those of the wealthy families, but more spacious than those of ordinary people.
Zhou Tiege identified it and came to a door with a plaque that read "Hu Mansion" and rang the lacquered bronze ring with an animal head.
After a while, seeing that no one answered, Zhou Tiege knocked a few more times.
At this time, a timid voice came from the yard, "Who is the guest?"
Zhou Tiege smiled and said, "Mo Fei, it's me."
The Dark Princess?
Seeing such an elegant name, Zhou Tieyi looked at his brother suspiciously.
The person inside the door heard Zhou Tiege's voice and hurried over to open the door. She was holding a bronze lamp, the light was so bright that it illuminated the area in front of her.
"It turned out to be Brother Zhou. When he came back a while ago, Wen Lang was still complaining that after Brother Zhou got promoted, he couldn't recognize his old friends anymore."
"Who is this?"
"My younger brother Zhou Tieyi."
Concubine Mo looked at Zhou Tieyi who was carrying bags of food. In her eyes, she no longer cared about people's appearance. Concubine Mo preferred people with stories, and Zhou Tieyi obviously had a lot of stories, whether in the past or in the future.
Concubine Mo looked at Zhou Tieyi, and Zhou Tieyi also looked at Concubine Mo.
Even if compared with the witch Guan Guan, the woman in front of him is on par with her. From a distance, she looks like a dignified goddess, but up close, she looks like a beautiful girl from a small family. It seems that this woman has a different appearance in every glance and from every angle.
Most importantly, she is not human!
Zhou Tieyi was very sure of this. Possessing the magical power of [Blood God Son], the control over flesh and blood was a natural authority. However, Zhou Tieyi could not feel any blood or flesh on Mo Fei!
