Chapter 391: Xiaolan kicks the door! Shen He appears again?
Outside Huayin Pavilion, in the alley around the corner.
A drunken young man was greeted by the ladies as he staggered out of the attic. He tightened his belt, but suddenly he felt the urge to urinate. He looked around and walked straight into the alley, unbuttoning his clothes to relieve himself.
Suddenly! A wealthy man slowly emerged from the darkness, silently and like a ghost. Such a strange scene frightened the young man so much that he howled and wanted to run away without even having time to pull up his pants!
But the latter easily grabbed him by the collar.
The young man screamed twice, and then he heard the latter's gentle voice.
"Don't panic, little brother. Don't panic, little brother. I'm just passing by."
After hearing what people said, the young man calmed himself down and turned back tremblingly. He breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the person behind him was a living person, but then he became angry!
"Why are you hiding here for no reason? It's scary! Do you know who I am?!"
The wealthy man smiled apologetically, showing a very humble attitude, and handed over some silver as an apology. Only then did the other party suddenly stop and moderate his attitude.
There is no other reason, because the "little" money handed over is just compared to the wealthy man, but to this young man it is not "little".
"Ten ounces of gold! Ten ounces!"
The threat just now was just bluffing. Family members know their own business. Besides, he is not a fool. Anyone who can casually take out ten taels of gold must be either rich or a thief!
"Ahem... Sir, please don't do this next time. It's good this time, but if you meet me, it may not be the same next time."
"After all, there are all kinds of people in Huayin Pavilion. Not to mention the dignitaries in Yunzhou, there are also quite a few ruffians from outside the region. They don't follow the rules. Sir, please be careful."
Naturally, the young man would say nice things after receiving the money, and the wealthy man still expressed his gratitude in a humble manner.
Then he changed the subject:
"Looking at the young man's appearance, he should be a frequent visitor of Huayin Pavilion. I wonder if I can ask you about someone."
"So you want to ask someone."
The young master completely let down his guard and waved his hand, saying, "Ask anything you want, there is nothing I don't know."
The wealthy man nodded and described Master Pei's general appearance.
I thought I needed to wait for him to think for a while, but he blurted out, "It's him!"
The wealthy man was cheered up after hearing this!
"Please tell me more, little brother! I have some small gifts for you."
The young master did not hesitate to explain what he had just seen and heard yesterday. At the end, he even murmured with a hint of envy: "I am so lucky. The name of the Pavilion Master of Huayin Pavilion is known in several states, but no one has ever been able to enjoy the beauty of her. I didn't expect that he would win her today."
The wealthy man paid no attention to his mutterings, but was secretly excited.
"Finally I found you before the young lady did, Master! ! "
It turned out that he was Tao Chun, the steward of the Pei family who went to Yunzhou in Jinglan Territory with Xiaolan!
Since arriving in Yunzhou last night, he took great pains to let Xiaolan and others rest for a day, while he rushed around Yunzhou non-stop, secretly searching for the whereabouts of Young Master Pei.
Following the traces, he found Huayin Pavilion, but he didn't dare to go in and ask for the person directly. After all, this place was not like the East Liao area, and his Pei family's name had no say here. So he squatted outside and tried to intercept the guests to ask questions.
Hard work pays off, he finally found the young master!
"Manager Tao, thank you for your hard work for so long~"
"No hard work, no hard work..."
Before he finished speaking, his expression froze! A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead!
He saw a beautiful woman with graceful figure emerging from the darkness, exactly the same as the one before him.
This person is none other than Pei Xiaolan, the wife of Pei Mengmeng, the young master of the Pei family!
Because Xiaolan was born a slave and had no surname, she was given the surname Pei after she entered the Pei family.
"Uh... this beautiful... girl, you are..."
Xiaolan didn't say much, she just threw some silver coins and disappeared into the alley like a ghost, heading straight into the Huayin Pavilion! !
"It's over... Master, it's over..."
The wealthy man murmured something, and then he heaved a long sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
"Now I don't have to worry about being punished by the head of the family. All my hard work in acting has paid off..."
The young man was stunned by the change of expression that seemed like magic.
"You guys..."
"Shh~"
The wealthy man raised his index finger to signal silence, then walked out of the alley and headed towards Huayin Pavilion, muttering to himself as he walked.
"How should we deal with this? Spread rumors, use power to pressure others, or pay money to settle the matter? The young master has really given me a difficult problem this time..."
The young man held the silver and felt cold all over.
"I won't be involved in some shocking conspiracy!"
…………
Just like this young man was feeling uneasy, Young Master Pei was also feeling uneasy.
"After so many years, I don't know what Brother Jiang is doing now..."
"Ah... I guess he's wandering around somewhere, visiting holy places in the mountains. It's really uncomfortable. Poor me... I have to hide in such a dangerous place to hide from my wife..."
After thinking about it for a long time, I thought the other party should have noticed my intention and made preparations for it, but I found that the other party was still indifferent? ?
"Damn it! Are you just ignoring me like this? I'm obviously about to explode, but you're just sitting there, so happy!"
He didn't believe that the person who could easily hold him hostage could not notice anything unusual about him at the moment!
"If that's the case, then you can't blame me!"
Young Master Pei's eyes narrowed, his muscles under his robe tensed and knotted, he suddenly stood up and was about to rush out of the window!
However, at this moment, a loud angry cry exploded from outside the door!
"Pei Mengmeng!! Get out here!"
At this moment, Master Pei, who was about to rush out of the window, suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell!
"Xiao...Xiao Lan..."
"How did she catch up with me so quickly?! No, I can't let her find out that I'm here! If she catches me here, I'll be dead or skinned alive! I have to leave!"
He didn't stop moving even as he was thinking, he exerted force with his legs to break through the window frame in one go!
However... his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move an inch! Even though his bones creaked and he felt severe pain, he still couldn't move an inch.
And the woman behind the screen also spoke at this moment.
"That's great~ Xiao Shen really brought me some good stuff this time."
The clear and pleasant voice seems to be lingering in the air, and the aftertaste is as long as the echo in the empty valley.
As the voices entered his ears, the anxious look on Master Pei's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes began to gradually become unfocused, as if all his five senses were gone, and he was completely unaware of where he was going; it was also like waking up from a dream, all like an illusion.
Outside the house, there were already hurried footsteps, accompanied by Xiaolan's cold voice.
"Pei Mengmeng, do you think I gave you the face that you dare to come to a place like this to seek pleasure?"
"Pei Mengmeng, if you come out now, I can forgive you for what happened and only break one of your legs!"
"Pei Mengmeng..."
The sound gradually came closer and closer, and had already come outside the house and stood still.
Listening to the angry voice of his wife, the little light in Pei Mengmeng's eyes that had not yet disappeared brightened up! For a moment, he broke free and yelled, "Run!"
But it only lasted for a moment, and then it fell silent again.
Xiaolan, who was outside the house and had a frosty face as if she was ready to challenge someone, suddenly had her pupils shrink when she heard the roar!
Without thinking, he broke down the door and rushed into the house!
As soon as she came in, she saw Master Pei, who was in a daze. Needless to say, she used her ultimate Qinggong skills, and pounced on Master Pei without touching the ground, holding him in her arms.
Without any hesitation, he broke through the window and left Huayin Pavilion without looking back. After a few twists and turns, he completely disappeared into the night.
The house fell into silence again...
The woman behind the screen continued to sit quietly, as if everything had nothing to do with her, and she neither stopped nor said a word.
Tap, tap, tap, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the house.
Many beautiful ladies were blocking the door, and the leader was a beautiful maid. She came to the door in panic, and bowed down without going in!
"Pavilion...Pavilion Master..."
Behind the screen, the woman looked at two objects on the table. On the left was a handwritten yellow book called "Mickey Mouse's Wonderful Book", and the author was signed as "a handsome guy who does not want to reveal his name"
On the right hand side is a pitch-black oval silkworm pupa.
The silkworm pupa was trembling slightly at this moment, as if it was about to break out of the shell, but it seemed that the shell was too thick and it only struggled once or twice before returning to silence.
But this scene made the woman extremely happy.
She raised her head slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.
"The rest of you, please step back. Xiao Shen, please come in."
"Yes!"
All the girls left, leaving only the beautiful girl at the door. She suddenly felt a great deal of pressure, and her whole body trembled.
As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a trembling voice:
"Disciple Shen He of Huayinfang pays homage to Elder Lin!"
The woman behind the screen touched her hair nonchalantly, "Oh~ Didn't you sneak away alone to the East Liao Territory? How come you have the leisure to visit me in Huayin Pavilion?"
The beautiful girl was none other than Shen He, the brothel girl who was invited by Pei Mengmeng to go on business trip to Bingzhou!
She raised her head tremblingly, her pale face revealing an intense fear, no longer as charming and pretty as before!
"Disciple... Disciple thought he had comprehended a little bit of the sect's magical skills, so he became arrogant and arbitrary, and left Huayinfang secretly, thinking... thinking..."
"I thought about starting a new sect, becoming the founder of a new school, and gaining the blessings of an immortal~ But I didn't expect to suffer the consequences. Not only did my magic skills fail to enhance my cultivation, but I also gained too much "conjecture" and it affected me, causing my body and soul to gradually change into unknown changes~"
Upon hearing this, Shen He kowtowed frantically, and the floor made a dull thumping sound.
"Disciple deserves to die, disciple was wrong! Disciple knows he was wrong!! Disciple should not betray the sect! Disciple..."
"Haha~ Get up, this elder hasn't said he will punish you~"
Shen He was overjoyed when he heard this! He kowtowed repeatedly on the ground to express his gratitude. His movements were so big that they were like ripples suddenly appearing in a cold pond, spreading out in circles.
"I am a sinner, but I was forgiven by the elder. I am deeply grateful for your generosity. If you have any orders from now on, I will do it without hesitation!"
The woman behind the screen raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Oh~ In that case, this elder really has something to ask for."
Shen He's heart tightened, but he remained calm.
Elder Lin placed his fingers on the little yellow book in his left hand, tapped it up and down, and uttered in an ethereal and pleasant voice:
"Where did you get this book from?"
Hearing this, Shen He felt relieved and without hesitation, he told the whole story of the book's origin.
It turned out that she initially thought she had comprehended the magical skills of Huayinfang and secretly fled from Jinglan Territory. After sneaking into Dongliao Territory, she joined a sect similar to Hehuan Sect that was secretly supported by a major sect.
The magical skills she had comprehended could be practiced most quickly and conveniently in the Hehuan Sect, so she also joined in.
Later, when he was "practicing" with the great elder who secretly supported the sect, his martial arts suddenly started to act weirdly and wildly. The powerful backlash almost "sucked" the elder who was "practicing" with him alive, turning him into a living dead!
She herself was becoming less and less human because she could not bear the other party's "conjectures" that had accumulated over countless years.
Because she had harmed the elder of the sect, the other sect would fight to the death if they found out. At that time, she thought she might as well go all out, so she stripped the other sect of all their belongings and escaped overnight.
Finally, when she escaped and sorted out the other party's "holy relics", she got this book from somewhere. Only then did she know that so much of the "knowledge" in the Hehuan Sect came from this book.
When everything was said, Shen He lowered his head and waited for the other party's next question.
But after waiting for a long time, the other party did not ask any more questions, and only the even sound of fingertips tapping on the paper lingered.
This made her even more uneasy.
…………
The woman behind the screen looked at the book quietly, staring at the large words on it: "Mickey Mouse Book" and murmured.
"Who is Mickey... Could it be that he wrote it? But there is a signature below that he is unwilling to reveal. Isn't it self-contradictory to say so? Could it be that it was not written by Mickey, but by someone else~"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, casually turned the page to read the contents, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Shen He thought that he had comprehended the divine power successfully, but in fact he had only comprehended a very incomplete part of it. That was why he was unable to transform the conjectures he had acquired into his own cultivation. He could only allow them to accumulate, expand and ferment in his body.
Unable to vent and digest, one can only slowly turn into a speculative demon!
But she was very lucky to get this book.
For others, this book may just be a book similar to that of Liu Bei in the secular world, but for them, it is truly a priceless and revered existence!
Because when I tried to practice the magic through some of the concepts, I found that this not only sorted out the mixed assumptions accumulated in my body, but also helped me to practice them in unison! That is, I eliminated all the different assumptions, swallowed them up, and only one assumption remained.
That is the conjectured "desire" represented by the picture in this book.
Even more interesting is that this book lifts the veil of "conjecture" that has been impossible to describe or observe for hundreds of years in Huayinfang, and describes it with another wonderfully strange yet very accurate word.
Subjective, objective!
"Wonderful, so wonderful! The person who wrote this book must be a saint or a wise man. He has such a thorough understanding of the ultimate truths of the world, and he has also spread them between the lines as illustrations and comments to hide them. Only those with high understanding can obtain this."
"This Shen He only knows how to follow the map, but he doesn't know the reason, and he is completely lost. Conjecture... subjective... objective... It's really great~"
"However, Shen He was not defeated by that assumption, but instead turned out to be a blessing in disguise. She is lucky~"
"If that's the case, then let Shen He digest that conjecture. I wonder if he can get more information about this book..."
