Chapter 10 Visiting a Brothel

After running for half a day, Xu Shan was slightly out of breath and had already reached the outskirts of Litai City.

Outer sect disciples did not learn magic, let alone sword-controlling.

They could only move forward on their two flesh legs.

It was not that he could not get a horse, but the horse could not run as fast as him.

A person who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining was definitely an inconspicuous existence in any sect.

But he had long been a world apart from ordinary people.

Looking at the huge sign on the city wall, Xu Shan felt at ease.

People are really made up of people. They have no sense of existence in the sect, but when they run to the mortal world, they suddenly feel tough in their hearts!

After taking two breaths, Xu Shan walked into the city.

By the afternoon, the weather was not so hot. There were many people in the city, and there were many hawkers hawking on the street.

The original owner was selected into Xinglan Sect since he was a child. He lived in the outer sect for twenty years and went down the mountain very few times.

However, some outer disciples were not as bored as him. They would always go out to eat, drink, gamble and have fun.

After all, once you embark on this path, you will find that there is almost no big difference between going to school and working in your previous life and practicing in terms of experience.

Xu Shan looked around with curiosity in his eyes.

He wandered around the street until it was getting dark.

After asking someone, Xu Shan walked to the most luxurious building in the city and looked up.

[Begonia Building]

The three big words caught his eyes, and a strong smell of rouge rushed into his nose.

There were also a few women on the balcony on the second floor who were flirting with Xu Shan.

Xu Shan looked up and felt disgusted.

The most famous brothel in the local area was just like this.

The pungent rouge, large pores, and clearly visible nasal mucus made people feel sick.

It seems that the enhanced senses caused by practice are not all good things.

But you have to go in. After receiving the task from Elder Cao, although he said verbally that it didn't matter, he still had to do his best to complete it.

It was no exaggeration to say that the elders of the outer sect had a great influence on him.

People had a good impression of him originally, and it would be stupid to fool around and affect the leader's good impression.

Secondly, there happened to be a kitchen in this brothel, so he could borrow it.

After thinking about it, Xu Shan stepped in.

As soon as he entered the door, the turtle came towards him.

Seeing that he was dressed simply but had an extraordinary temperament, the turtle said cautiously: "Sir, is this your first time in Haitang Building? Do you have any girls you know?"

"Find a single room, you come up with me, others don't want it."

"Ah, I... that's fine."

....

Walking to the private room on the second floor, Xu Shan opened the window casually.

He fanned twice to drive away the cheap and pungent smell of rouge in the room.

The turtle stood at the door, hesitating.

"Um...uh..."

"What are you twisting your ass for! Sit down, I have something to ask you."

"Ah? Ask...Okay." Gui Gong sat down awkwardly.

Xu Shan asked: "I heard that there is a haunted place in the city recently, killing many people. Do you know about this?"

"Yes, it happened not long ago. You ask this because..."

"You don't have to worry about it, just tell me what happened."

Gui Gong recalled: "It was quite lively at the time. There haven't been so many deaths in a long time. Those people didn't die in the city. They were originally scholars who went to the southern suburbs of the city for an outing. Later, they were found dead outside the city. They seemed to be scared to death." "I heard it was in Chiyun Temple in the south of the city. It has been abandoned for decades, but I'm not sure."

"Abandoned Abandoned temples are haunted, which is so cliché. Think about it carefully. How else is it possible? "

The old man shrank his head and whispered, "I haven't heard of anything happening in other places. It's really only the abandoned temple in the wilderness that is haunted. It was inexplicably cloudy a few days ago."

"You don't know that our Haitanglou is famous for its good service. Every year, there are one or two distinguished guests with special fetishes who take our girls to the wilderness to find excitement."

"Especially the Chiyun Temple... They love to run there and are desperate for excitement. Now no one goes there even if they are asked to go."

Xu Shan took a breath of cold air.

Are the prostitutes in Litai Town so wild?

The local customs are really tough...

The old man continued, "Two months ago, someone hanged himself in Chiyun Temple and was seen by a guest and reported to the police. It is said that he was a servant of a family who couldn't stand the master's orders and committed suicide... Hey, there are always such things. I think it's normal for a ghost to come back and seek revenge on rich officials."

Xu Shan stroked his chin and thought.

This sounds like a much bigger possibility.

Anyway, there are no other clues now, so why not go to Chiyun Temple to check it out.

It won't take much time, so try your luck. If it doesn't work, just ask around.

But before going, it's not bad to borrow the kitchen of this brothel to try it out.

"By the way, how many kitchens are there in such a big brothel?" Xu Shan asked."Kitchen..." Guigong was confused, "There are only two, one for guests and one for ourselves, why are you asking this, sir?"

"No one is using your own kitchen now, right?"

"No one, what do you want to do?"

"Let's go!" Xu Shan stood up and walked out the door, "Take me to your stove, I want to borrow it."

"Sir, we don't let outsiders in the back, and it's dirty..."

Guanggong got up hurriedly, but he swallowed half of his words.

Xu Shan had a silver ingot in his hand and stretched it in front of him.

Except for the outer disciples who sometimes go out to purchase, Xinglan Sect gives them some silver.

Outer disciples usually have silver, and the sect will give them some on time, although there is no expenditure.

It is also a thoughtful move by the sect.

Some disciples were dismissed from the sect, and their families may have passed away long ago.

Without any silver on hand and unable to find a way out for a while, this little silver is for emergency.

Now this ingot of silver is all Xu Shan's savings.

Seeing Xu Shan's generosity, the turtle stared at the shining silver ingot and spoke much more slowly.

"Sir, I really can't take you into our back kitchen. This is against the rules..."

He has also seen the world. Although the silver is tempting, the consequences must be considered.

Bringing a stranger into the back kitchen of the brothel, who knows what might happen, what if this kid comes to poison? Seeing that the silver is useless, Xu Shan stretched out his right hand to hold the silver ingot and exerted force suddenly.

"Ah this!"

The turtle was stunned for a moment.

The silver ingot was like mud in Xu Shan's hand. Under strong squeezing, the silver squeezed out from his fingers.

"Master! I am blind, Master."

The turtle knelt on his knees with a bang and shouted repeatedly.

"Get up, get up, can you take me now?" Xu Shan asked with his head down.

The old man stood up, opened the door, and smiled flatteringly: "Sure, come with me!"

Xu Shan nodded with satisfaction, took a piece of silver from his fingers and slapped it into the other party's hand, then strode out.
