Chapter 9
At nightfall, it is the busiest time for the Raoliang Pavilion.

Raoliang Pavilion is indeed a famous music workshop in Lan'an. It has a large courtyard, and there are dozens of lanterns hanging on the porch in front of the door. Orange red frost white, deep red and light yellow, various colors of light shine in the night, creating a luxurious atmosphere.

Several well-dressed fireworks women stood in front of the door to invite guests, and the air was filled with a strong smell of incense powder.

"Isn't this Erlang of the Zhou family? You haven't come for a while." Seeing someone approaching, several people rushed forward and surrounded them.

On Tuesday, Lang Zhou Sheng smiled and hugged a little lady's waist, and said with a smile: "I'm here, I miss you these days."

"Hey, Zhou Lang, is this gentleman here with you?" A young lady in a light yellow dress looked at the young gentleman behind Zhou Sheng.

On his head was a veiled hat, with a veil hanging from the brim of the hat and covering his face.However, just by looking at his figure, one can tell that he is a handsome young man.

He was wearing a plain brocade gown, and because of the baggy clothes, he looked a little thin, with a delicate and delicate demeanor.

The hearts of the prostitutes were hooked in an instant, and they scrambled towards him.

The young man seemed not used to this, so he stretched out his sleeves and brushed them away one by one.

Zhou Sheng was a little panicked, and hurried forward to stop them, saying, "This is a distinguished guest I brought, and it's his first time here, so don't scare him."

Zhou Sheng is the gentleman of the Langzhong family of the Ministry of Rites, and the person who came with him is naturally the son of Lan'an's family.

The courtesans laughed even more when they heard what he said, and they refused to let him go.The little lady in a light yellow dress twisted her body, almost getting into the boy's arms.

At this time, there was only a sound of "嘡啷", and the sound of a sharp sword coming out of its sheath.

The little lady in the yellow shirt only felt a chill on her neck, looked down, and saw that the gleaming blade of the sword had already touched her neck.She screamed in fright and stepped back in a hurry.

I saw that the person holding the sword was the guard following behind the boy.

He was dressed in black, and he looked not as good as a weak crown. He was tall and handsome, but there was a slender scar on his left cheek, which slightly ruined his appearance, making him look a bit hideous.

Seeing that the little lady in yellow didn't move forward any more, the guard silently stepped back two steps, putting his long sword back into its sheath.

Seeing this, the other courtesans all backed away embarrassingly, and no one dared to step forward.

Zhou Sheng turned his head and smiled: "Our master has a very high vision, but we need to find a good girl to serve him."

******
There is a dark alley at the back door of the Raoliang Pavilion.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the front yard, this place is as quiet as death.Occasionally, the voice of silk and bamboo joy drifts here with the wind, ethereal as if from another world.

The alley is very narrow, with high courtyard walls on both sides, and there is little sunlight in the daytime, let alone at night.Few people pass through such a deep and cramped alley.

At this time, there was a cart parked in the alley, with several large wooden barrels half a person's height on it.

The driver jumped off the cart, stepped forward and knocked on the back door of the Liang Pavilion.Soon someone opened the door and carried the wooden barrel in the car.

In the backyard, a man in a green shirt stepped forward to check it out, pointed to one of the wooden barrels with a spell on it and ordered, "Bring it to the hut in the backyard."

The two guards responded and carried the barrel along the trail.

The farther you go to the northwest corner, the thicker the fog at night.

The man in the green shirt led the way with a horn lamp, the dim light illuminated his face, his dark eyes were as deep as a pool.

A few people quickly arrived in front of the wooden house in the northwest corner. This is a utility room in the Raoliang Pavilion, and few people come here on weekdays.

The horn lamp emits a hazy white light, reflecting a pond in front of the building. The water surface is thick with fog, and there are a few notched round leaves floating, which are the leaves of lotus.

The man in the green shirt waved his hand to signal the guards carrying the barrel to leave, and walked into the hut with the barrel himself.

The hut was full of sundries, he waved his sleeves and chanted a spell silently, a hidden step appeared in the corner of the hut, leading down the steps, it was a dark room.

Because it is under the ground and facing the pond, the dark room is dark and humid.There are several wall lamps hanging on the wall, and the dizzy yellow lights illuminate the densely packed spells on the wall.

Qiuniang, the head of the Raoliang Pavilion, was already waiting in the dark room.

She is more than 40 years old, with thin powder on her face, she can see that she was also a beauty when she was young, but after all, she is no longer young, and you can see the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes when she smiles.

"The goods are here, please ask Mother Qiu to inspect them." The man in the blue shirt put the barrel on the ground.

Qiu Niang got up and stood with her arms around her chest, looking down at the wooden barrel with a cold look in her eyes.

The man in the green shirt recited the spell silently, and raised his hand to remove the spell from the barrel.

An invisible evil spirit escaped from the barrel, and the incantations on the wall of the dark room seemed to sense the evil spirit, and then shone brightly.

There seemed to be a sound in the barrel, and after a while, the lid of the barrel was pushed open, revealing a slender hand.After a while, half of the head poked out timidly, as if seeing someone outside, the head retracted quickly.

Qiu Niang was a little impatient, and frowned: "Liu Kui, what kind of monster is this, how can he be so timid?"

Liu Kui stepped forward and explained: "Mother Qiu, this is a scorpion monster. It is timid and cowardly by nature, and is obedient. Don't you think that the leopard monster is not easy to subdue? This scorpion monster is just the opposite and will never cause trouble. "

Qiuniang walked around the barrel and said, "But it's okay to be too timid. You see, she doesn't dare to come out from the barrel. How can she go out to meet guests?"

"Don't worry, Ms. Qiu, you don't know about the habits of the man. This demon must rely on the yang energy of men to live. Before becoming a demon, they like to lie in the arms of their master, acting coquettishly and cutely. It's the same with demons."

Qiu Niang raised her eyebrows, nodded and said: "Since that's the case, let her come out. I'll take a look at her face. No matter how spoiled she is, it's useless if she looks ugly."

Liu Kui stepped forward, lifted the lid, lifted the wooden bucket and poured out the people inside.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl rolled onto the ground with her head in her arms. She seemed to have been greatly frightened, her body trembling slightly, curled up on the ground.

She covered her face with her hands, only showing two clear eyes, and asked anxiously: "You... what are you going to do? Why did you arrest me here?"

She is combing a double-snail bun, with two big ears protruding from both sides of the bun, fluffy and white, and looks extraordinarily delicate and naive.The pair of eyes that were exposed outside were clear and clear, and when they looked around, they were as gorgeous as begonias.

Qiu Niang smiled and said, "You have good eyes. Put your hands down and let me see your face."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly moved the hand covering her face away.

Her face was a little dirty, with blood on her cheeks, and the clothes on her body seemed to have been torn during the fight, and she looked a little embarrassed.

But even so, it cannot conceal her beauty.

Seeing her face clearly, Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, turned around the corner of the painting a few times, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Very good, let her stay! Liu Kui, don't treat her badly."

After Qiuniang finished speaking, she left the dark room with a happy face.

Liu Kui lifted the painting corner, threw her into the cage in the dark room, squinted at her and said, "If you want to survive, you must be obedient. From now on, you can enjoy the prosperity of the world."

Liu Kui finished speaking, turned and left.

The girl is Jiang Huajiao.

There is a treasure on her body, which was found in the treasure pavilion of her grandfather's house. It is a red bead.

This bead is very beautiful with radiant brilliance, and the most amazing thing is that the bead has actually absorbed the evil energy of a 朏朏monster for hundreds of years.Once a person swallows the beads, he can exude a demonic aura, and he can also grow a pair of round ears at will.

Therefore, after discussing with Zhang Hui, Hua Jiao and Zhang Hui decided to pretend to be a monster and sneak into the Raoliang Pavilion.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Zhang Hui went out of his way to find the demon master who sold to the leopard demon in the Raoliang Pavilion a few days ago, and let out the wind through him, saying that he had a beautiful 朏朏 demon in his hand.

As expected, the Raoliang Pavilion got in touch with the demon master through an intermediary, and Huajiao was sold out from this.

At this moment, Hua Jiao was sitting in the huge cage covered with spells, lamenting that his move was the right one after all.If you don't pretend to be a demon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out such a secret dark room.

When she was outside just now, she noticed that the surroundings of the dark room, including the pond, were surrounded by formations. Once a monster entered here, the monster's aura would not be able to escape.

No wonder Zhang Hui didn't sense the slightest evil spirit when he came around the Liang Pavilion that day.But the incantations on the wall of the dark room are spells for trapping demons. Once a demon enters, there is no one to guide it, and there is no way for it to escape.

Liu Kui is obviously a demon subduing master hired by the Liang Pavilion, who specializes in guarding these demons.

Hua Jiao walked around in the cage, vaguely aware that besides her, there was a demon beside her in the dark room.She looked at the cage next to her, but saw that there was nothing inside.

However, with her alertness and sensitivity as a demon subduing master, she noticed something staring at her in the dark.

The corner of the painting looked around, and suddenly, a big furry head poked down from the top of the opposite cage, and met her eyes.Those eyes emitted a faint green light in the dim room, obviously a pair of animal eyes.

Hua Jiao instinctively stretched out his fingers and pinched the tactic, trying to summon the Wild Goose Wing Saber.He also remembered that he was in the Liang Pavilion, and he was pretending to be a monster at this time, so he stopped in time.

"New here, are you a cockroach?" The upside-down head grinned, baring its teeth and asked sinisterly.

Hua Jiao collected himself, looked up, and recognized that it was a black panther who had become a demon through cultivation.However, it was the original body at this time, with its tail hanging on the cage and its body hanging upside down in front of her.

Painted corner: Damn it.

Hua Jiao couldn't help swearing a dirty word in his heart, and then remembered that he was a demon at the moment, naturally timid as a mouse, and the other party was a leopard, so he hugged his head and screamed again and again: "Ah... ah... you are a leopard ?”

The panther turned over and jumped down, looked at her through the fine iron railing with the charm on it, and said, "What are you afraid of, your little meat is not enough for me to stuff my teeth. As long as you don't mess with me, I won't eat it." Yours. I was just saying hello to you, not trying to scare you."
