Chapter 126 The idea of ​​new skills

Yan Sifu walked in with a smile on his face and held Zhou An's hand familiarly.

“Brother Zhou, let’s go, let me take you to visit the famous Jiaofangsi in our house!”

Zhou An really didn’t expect to meet Yan Sifu here, and what’s more, he didn’t expect that Yan Sifu would say such harsh words.

“Isn’t it too bad to invite us to go to a romantic place in broad daylight?”

 Where is Jiaofangsi?

 Zhou An is very clear.

That place, to put it bluntly, is a place of official prostitution.

 Actually, places like Jiaofangsi don’t really exist at the county level, only at the prefecture level.

 This is why Yan Sifu dared to speak out openly.

Zhou An didn't think anything was wrong, but Hu Haijin and the others were shocked.

 They work in Tingyun Mansion, so of course they know the name of Yan Si Mansion.

This is the leader of the Tingyun Prefecture's Suppressing Secret Service.

 In Tingyun Mansion, who doesn’t know anyone who is in the officialdom?

Coupled with the fatness of Yan Sifu, it is really difficult not to be recognized.

Even if you want to do something bad, you can tell it is Yan Sifu at a glance even if you cover your face.

 But this is what surprised Hu Haijin and others.

“My lord seems to have a good relationship with Yan Sifu, the commander of the town.”

When thinking of this, Hu Haijin and others looked at each other silently and acted more seriously.

They couldn't help but take it seriously. In this situation, they suddenly felt that their understanding of Mr. Zhou was still a little shallow.

Zhen Guisi, that place makes me scared when I hear it.

Yan Sifu did not look at these three people. He only saw Zhou An.

Seeing Zhou An's expression, I also knew what Zhou An was thinking.

Yan Sifu patted Zhou An's shoulder familiarly and said in a tone that all men would understand: "Brother Zhou has already reached this level, is it possible that he hasn't been to these places? That's not possible, let's As a man, you just have to live a free and unrestrained life, otherwise your life will be in vain.”

  When Zhou An met Yan Sifu for the first time before, he saw Yan Sifu holding two gauze women in his arms, and they said they were oirans.

 He knew that this guy seemed a bit lecherous, but it was a bit difficult to get him to go to the Jiaofang Department.

“Thank you for your kindness, sir. I have something else to do, so it’s not convenient for me to go. I’ll definitely do it next time.” Zhou An declined politely.

There was no conflict between the two of them. On the contrary, they worked together to deal with the indulgent person, so Zhou An didn't say anything to offend him and just declined.

Unexpectedly, just after Zhou An declined, Yan Sifu changed his tone.

"Master Zhou, that's just by the way. In fact, I have something more important to talk to you. It's not convenient to talk about it in other places. It can't be said at the wine table. Let's go there and listen to a little tune. chat."

  Business, is there something serious?

 Zhou An touched his chin.

He has now dealt with all the weird and manipulative people, why is there still something going on?

 In this case, Zhou An naturally refused.

 But when Zhou An said these words of rejection, Yan Sifu still explained: "Master Zhou, please follow me. It's not a trouble, it's about the aftermath. There are some things that I want to ask for your opinion on."

Zhou An pondered for a moment, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

The other party is the leader of the Suppression Division. He is very busy on weekdays. There is no need to come here by himself. He has to be asked to go to the Jiaofang Division.

 It was related to the aftermath, and he also wanted to hear what it was about.

Hearing Zhou An's promise, Yan Sifu was delighted. He clapped his fat palms and made a gesture of invitation.

“Brother Zhou, please, I have already set up a room there.”

Zhou An was not polite, and left the craftsman's supervisor side by side with Yan Sifu.

  There is not much distance between the craftsman's supervisor and the teacher's office.

 The two of them were walking on this lively street, and this time they attracted a lot of attention.

 After all, Yan Sifu's figure is so fat that it is difficult for people to not notice him when walking on the street.

 But both of them had something to do, so they didn’t stop on the street and went directly to a very special alley.

Even before he entered the alley, Zhou An could smell a fragrant aroma.

 In this world, there is no perfume, and everything depends on rouge and gouache.

 Even before I got closer, the smell was already emanating from the alley.

 It is estimated that every man passing by will be in a state of mind.

Before Zhou An could say anything, Yan Sifu rubbed his hands and led the way with excitement on his face.

“Brother Zhou, come with me, I guarantee it will be an eye-opener for you.”

 Eye-opening, this sentence is really used well.

When Zhou An followed Yan Sifu into this alley, and after walking for a while, he came to a three-story building.

 The small building has three floors, all of which are painted in red, giving it a strangely fragrant feel.

 On the first floor, there were many people wearing ordinary clothes coming in and out.

 Although they were all wearing ordinary clothes, Zhou Anxin knew very well inside. The identities of these people are not ordinary.

 At least he is an errand in this government office?

 After all, Jiaofangsi never greets ordinary people.

Yan Sifu is familiar with the roads, and he led Zhou An into this three-story building.

As soon as the two of them entered, there was a large space inside.

 There are stairs all around the open space.

 There are many places to go up the stairs.

  When Zhou An walked in, an old bustard who still had some charm came up immediately.

The madam shook the fan in her hand and was wearing red clothes, looking very professional.

“Hello, Mr. Yan, which private room have you reserved this time? Do you want to ask a familiar girl to come over?”

 Obviously, Yan Si’s house has been here a lot, and the madam is very familiar with it.

“I settled down among the autumn chrysanthemums on the second floor, looking for little red, little green, little green, and little orchid.

 He is indeed a seasoned veteran.

As soon as Yan Sifu came in, he started to give advice.

Zhou An touched his chin, and this guy ordered four more.

 Is it possible that there will be two of us by then?

As soon as Zhou An had this idea, he shook his head and got rid of the idea.

 He came here to talk, not to play.

When the madam heard this, she quickly called a girl and took the two of them to the second floor, shaking her charming figure.

 The decoration on the second floor is much better than that on the first floor, especially the red gauze hanging on both sides of the walkway, which is even more charming.

Qiu Jufang is a room in the middle of the second floor. When the girl leading the way opened the room, Zhou An saw several paintings in the room.

 There is also a woman in the painting, with a voluptuous figure and a very atmospheric feel.

Yan Sifu asked Zhou An to sit down and poured a glass of wine for Zhou An. The two clinked their glasses and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhou An asked with a smile: "Master Yan invited me here for a drink in a hurry. There must be something important. Let's talk about it."

 He has always been straightforward. Although he sometimes resorts to some routines, he is a worldly person.

Now that his curiosity has been aroused, Zhou An no longer has so many ideas.

Yan Sifu knew that Zhou An was in a hurry, so he didn't say much, and said directly: "It seems that Mr. Zhou is very anxious. In fact, the reason for calling Mr. Zhou here this time is to talk about the matter of suppressing Guisi."

"Mr. Zhou, you know that this matter cannot be kept secret, especially such a big thing, so I have to report something about Mr. Zhou to the boss. Before we report it, we have to tell Mr. Zhou first. to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”

The imperial court takes everything they do to suppress the traitor very carefully. If you dare to say that you solved it alone in a situation like this, then the imperial court will become suspicious and come down to check and find something big, which is their own. pot.

If this is normal, you can just report it casually, but the matter of Tingyun Mansion still needs to be discussed in advance.

 When there is a misunderstanding, there will be trouble.

 Zhou An nodded in agreement.

It is true that this thing cannot be hidden, and to put it more realistically, it is something that others should do.

 If you don’t report it to the superior, it will be unpleasant when the superiors investigate and find out that there is a false report.

What's more, he was already prominent in Yunlai Mansion, so it doesn't hurt to be more prominent now.

Zhou An thought for a while and then added: "If there are some places, just skip them, such as when fighting."

Yan Sifu nodded quickly and said that he would try his best to skip it. If necessary, he could even take out the proofs and take a look.

 Zhou An shook his hand, saying no.

 Next, the two discussed some specific details and agreed on an answer that satisfied both parties.

 Yan Sifu could also see that Zhou An must not be a thing in the pool, so he did not want to offend him.

After talking about the business, the two drank another glass of wine.

While drinking, four girls in very thin clothes walked in from outside.

Zhou An took a look and found that the appearance of these four girls was all of an excellent level.

 “I have met two adults.” The four girls bent down to say hello. The scene was quite shocking.

These girls can play, play and sing, which is much better than those in Zhou An's previous life who only knew how to call them eldest brother.

Yan Sifu said to two of the girls: "This is my brother Zhou. Please treat them well, and your rewards will be indispensable."

Before Zhou An could refuse, the two girls laughed and came to Zhou An's side.

 One of them massaged Zhou An's shoulders, and the other poured wine for Zhou An.

Feeling the massage from the girl behind him and seeing the drink handed over by the girl next to him, Zhou An felt that this day was indeed exciting enough.

No wonder those rich families like to get these special gadgets, they are really exciting!

 Zhou An took the drink and drank it in one gulp.

On the other side, Yan Sifu was much bolder, holding one another with one arm and joking there.

“Brother Zhou, you are too restrained. When you come here, you have to let go. We are all men. Why don’t you dare to let go?”

Zhou An picked up the wine glass, and the girl next to him filled it for him.

 After drinking it, Zhou An shook his head.

“I usually live alone, and I don’t really like to engage in such romantic things. Master Yan, just have fun, and I can drink alone?”

When the two girls next to him heard this, the girl holding him down immediately stretched out her white arms, held his neck, and said with a sweet smile: "This gentleman seems to be uninterested. It's because we two sisters are not considerate enough." Or are our looks not attractive enough?”

Zhou An smiled: "The two of you are indeed good-looking, but they are not enough to tempt me."

The girl pouring the wine next to her pursed her lips and smiled: "Then I want to see what kind of role a woman is who can make even the young master feel moved. Does she have as many postures as our sisters?"

 “Can you move me?”

Zhou An drank the wine in the glass, thought about it, and then shook his head.

  Not really.

 In my own eyes, I only have proficiency.

 Even a girl who likes to wear gray clothes in public can only amaze him for a moment when she is dressed in white.

 At least for now, women are just a stumbling block to proficiency.

 Isn’t there a saying that is good?

There is no woman in my heart, so I draw my sword to the God of Nature. On the first page of the sword manual, I kill the person I want first.

The two girls are also in the romantic world, so they know how to observe words and expressions. Naturally, they can tell that Zhou An is really unmoved.

They also put aside their frivolousness and poured wine and massage for Zhou An.

Yan Sifu shook his head and ignored Zhou An. He hugged the other two girls and chatted with Zhou An while eating and drinking.

“Speaking of which, there is a stunning beauty coming to your Jiaofang department recently.”

Yan Sifu just said this smoothly.

With a position like theirs, they are well-informed. Not only are they solving cases involving strange and charlatan monsters, they also have a lot of information from other places.

The **** the left chuckled softly: "My lord, you are really well informed. There is indeed a stunning beauty coming to our house. She has already arrived. However, our teaching department has not made it public for the time being. This girl's background is not small."

Yan Sifu laughed loudly: "When you join this Jiaofangsi, don't you just want to please men? No matter what the background is, you still have to sit here and drink in the end."

The girl was not angry when she heard this. She just covered her mouth and smiled and said: "The new character girl's name is Miao Xiao. I heard she is a girl from Miaojiang."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Sifu's hands shook and he almost failed to grab the glass of wine.

 And this scene happened to be seen by Zhou An?

 Such a master can't even hold a wine glass, there must be something strange going on.

So Zhou An put down his wine glass and asked with a smile: "Miaojiang girl, how can you make me look like this?

Only then did Yan Sifu realize that he had lost his composure. He turned around and asked the girl next to him: "Isn't this person from Miao Territory just a showman and not a prostitute?"

The girl who was asked showed a surprised expression: "How do you know this?"

Yan Sifu smiled bitterly, looked at Zhou An, and explained: "You really can't sell yourself. If you sell yourself, there will probably be some problems."

 Zhou An became interested and prepared to ask what was going on.

At this moment, a lively sound suddenly came from outside the door.

 In the current land of wind and moon, there are many lively sounds, but uniform liveliness is extremely rare.

Zhou An listened carefully and heard a lot of people talking, as well as the madam's voice just now, coming from downstairs.

"My lords, welcome to our Jiaofang Department. Today is a particularly important day. We have here a stunningly beautiful girl from Miaojiang. But it is a pity that this girl is an artist but not a person. She just arrived today. Let me give you a look and present a piece of music for you. Don’t underestimate this music, it is unique to Miao territory.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou An heard the sound of the piano.

 The sound of the piano is melodious, but it doesn’t sound like it comes from the guzheng or other musical instruments.

Zhou An became interested, put the wine glass aside, and stood up: "Master Yan, go out and take a look."

 He wanted to see it too.

This girl from the Miao family must have an unusual identity.

Of course, this is purely out of curiosity. Now that I’m here, of course I’ll have to take a look.

Yan Sifu also nodded.

The two of them opened the door and walked out, leaning on the railing on the second floor and looking at the first floor.

At this time, the aisle was already full of people, and a temporary platform was set up in the open space on the first floor. There was a chair placed on the stage, and sitting on the chair was a girl wrapped up tightly, even her face was covered with a white cloth.

 From the exposed eyes, you can see a hint of unique charm.

 In the girl's hands, she held a special musical instrument, and the sound just now came from this musical instrument.

 It is fully round in shape, with a short neck. The neck and speaker frame are made of mahogany or rosewood, and the frame is made of six wooden boards of the same size.

 The front and back panels are made of paulownia wood. There are two bracing beams built into the box, supporting two sound columns.

 Four axes, four strings, each two strings have the same tone, and are tuned in fifths.

  There are nine frets on the neck and top.

This is the first time Zhou An has seen this kind of instrument, and he is even more curious.

Yan Sifu next to him explained: "The musical instrument is called Yueqin. It is one of the unique musical instruments in Miao territory. It is not easy to see it here. Brother Zhou, I have already guessed the origin of this woman."

"oh?"

Zhou An asked curiously: "Master Yan, can you explain it to me in detail?"

Yan Sifu nodded and looked at the girls next to him.

These girls also knew what was going on and left with their heads lowered.

 But they didn’t go far, they were within sight of the two of them, and they would come over as long as they waved.

After these girls left, Yan Sifu came over and whispered: "This girl should be from the Gu God Cult in Miaojiang. This force belongs to us, and she should be practicing Gu poison."

“It seems that one of our forces was destroyed by the Zhensi Si.” Zhou An said with a smile.

 Most of the women in the Jiaofang Division were members of illegal officials or powerful people, so they ended up like this.

 Zhou An had this kind of speculation.

Yan Sifu nodded: "This is not a secret. The power of Gu God Cult actually lies not in Gu, but in Gu. There are actually many branches in Gu. Their Gu God Cult specializes in poison."

"Originally, you can practice as long as you practice, and Your Majesty won't care about this, but they just use living people to conduct experiments. No, the entire Gu God Sect is gone, and it was directly pushed out by several Sizhou."

"I see."

Zhou An nodded.

These days, daring to use living people to do these things is indeed a violation of the laws of the Chu Kingdom.

 It's just that Zhou An still doesn't understand why he is a showman but not his body.

They can even get Jiaofangsi, but there is really no such thing.

This is not a TV series. You come here and want to show off your skills instead of selling yourself. Isn’t this nonsense?

Thinking of this, Zhou An asked.

Yan Sifu said helplessly: "The poison that this disciple of the Gu God Cult has cultivated has even turned against itself, and her whole body is full of poison. Look at the clothes she is wearing, which are actually to restrain the poison in her body. If the clothes are taken off, I’m afraid everyone present will suffer. To be honest, poison is something that restrains many people.”

 Zhou An touched his chin.

If you really go by what Yan Sifu said, it is indeed a bit scary.

 His whole body is covered in poison, and he dare not take off the special clothes he is wearing, otherwise he will die miserably.

 “It’s not enough to kill him, we have to get the Jiaofang Secretary.” Zhou An said.

This kind of thing is a time bomb. Maybe one day I can't figure it out, and as soon as I take off my clothes, it will be a moving poisonous field.

“Who knows, this is something the higher-ups are concerned about, and we don’t understand it either.” Yan Sifu shook his head.

The two of them watched for a while and found it boring. After all, they were all rough and couldn't handle such elegant things, so they returned to the room.

 Four girls came to serve again.

This meal lasted until the afternoon, and by the way, we also had dinner at this Jiaofangsi.

“Brother Zhou, I won’t give it away.”

 Yan Sifu planned to spend the night here.

Zhou An nodded and left, walking from the second floor to the first floor.

At this time, the woman playing music on the first floor was no longer there.

He didn't look much and just walked towards his house.

On the way, what Zhou Anxin was thinking about was what happened in Jiaofangsi today.

 He didn't think about that Miao girl, no, to be precise, he did.

But what he is thinking about is not other people’s bodies, and he is not greedy for them.

 He was thinking about poison.

 He ​​originally thought that he had few shortcomings now, but now it seems that he has discovered a new shortcoming, and this shortcoming is poison.

 He has attack, defense, mental defense, and various bonuses such as speed.

To be honest, if you put it in the arena, it can be said to be a fierce word.

 But he doesn’t seem to have such a thing as poison resistance.

These days, when people are walking around in rivers and lakes, there is no one who doesn’t get their shoes wet.

As Yan Sifu said, poison can make many masters stumble.

 After all, when you are walking on this river and lake, not everyone can understand it with you.

 Sometimes, it is extremely easy to overturn with bad tricks.

 So after Zhou An thought about his shortcomings, he planned to make up for it.

But until he returned to the house, he couldn't figure out which life skill could improve his poison resistance.

You can't just get a few packets of poison and try it, right?

 This is the behavior of a fool.

 At this time, it was getting very late.

Zhou An didn’t think about it for the time being, and he stopped thinking about it?

So he continued to walk around the room.

The growth of Youlongbu is extremely gratifying. Zhou An watched the increase in proficiency while practicing. Soon, one night passed.

 …

 The next day.

 When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone in from the window, Zhou An simply washed up and went out to have a meal.

 According to his plan, the current Youlong Bu has made a lot of progress.

He was getting closer and closer to the fifth level. He thought about seriously giving it a little more time, and after reaching the fifth level with You Longbu, he would then find another skill to upgrade to the fifth level.

At the same time, during this time, consider what life skills can be used to improve poison resistance.

The Grain Harvest Festival has passed, but the lively scene is still warm. After eating the noodles, Zhou An stretched himself, paid the bill and was ready to go home.

 But at this moment, he saw the people walking in one direction, and they were all watching the excitement.

Zhou An couldn’t understand what else there was to see at this time.

Of course, he himself likes to join in the fun and can add a touch of color to his life.

So Zhou An took a commoner and, in the unwilling eyes of the commoner, took out three coins and put it in the commoner's hand.

 “Brother, let me ask you something.”

 The people who were caught wanted to watch the excitement immediately. After all, in this era, there were not many entertainment activities, and watching the excitement was one of them.

 But being pulled, he was obviously unhappy.

 But as the three cents fell into their hands, the people quickly wiped away their unhappiness, with a bright smile on their faces: "Master, I don't know if I have anything to ask."

"What are you doing?" Zhou An pointed to the direction the people were leaving and asked with confusion on his face.

The common people who were pulled scratched their heads, but for the sake of the three cents, they answered patiently.

“Oh, isn’t there something going on at the Jiaofangsi side? It’s very lively right now, so everyone goes over to watch.”

 Jiaofangsi?

When Zhou An heard this, he thought to himself that he just came out of Jiaofangsi yesterday, why did something happen today?

 He also remembered that he had seen the Miao girl yesterday.

 “What happened? So many people came to see it.”

The people shook their heads and said they didn't know: "Sir, I just went to join in the fun. Who knows? You have to go and see to understand. If nothing happens, I will leave first."

This excitement is a hot word, so we have to hurry up.

Zhou An nodded and then let the commoner leave.

 He touched his chin, and after thinking secretly for a moment, he raised his feet and walked towards the Jiaofang Division.

 It's useless if you don't watch the excitement. You just go to watch the excitement.

 From the street to Jiaofangsi, the further you go inside, the more people there become.

By the time he came to the door of Jiaofangsi, Zhou An could already hear the noise around him.

 The people are all talking about it.

“Oh, it’s so exciting. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone dare to cause trouble here.”

“This is owned by the Great Chu State, and the consequences of causing trouble will be disastrous.”

"That's nonsense. If a monk goes to visit a brothel, the monk's sect will not let him go."

 In the crowd, there are many people in the industry who are also joining in the fun.

 Zhou An's ears and eyes were sharp, and he also heard the conversations of people in these trades.

“This monk is still a person like us, and he actually came to visit Jiaofangsi, which is a place for adults to visit.”

"Who knows? This monk is also quite capable. He comes to someone else's place and sits cross-legged on the ground."

“I heard that he was reciting Buddhist scriptures to a new girl.”

"I know this monk. Look at his gray robe, especially the pattern on the sleeves. It is the symbol of Wuxiang Temple."

 Wuxian Temple?

 Monk?

 Zhou An guessed a person.

 —no thoughts.

 A monk like him comes to visit this romantic place, isn't he looking for trouble?

  And he said it to a new girl.

 This girl is new here, so she is the only one from Miaojiang.

Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Zhou An's curiosity became even more intense. He pushed away the crowd with all his strength and came to the front regardless of the curses around him.

 When he saw the scene inside the house, he thought to himself how brave he was.

I saw Wu Nian sitting cross-legged in the open space on the first floor of Jiaofangsi, with his hands clasped together, silently reciting unintelligible scriptures.

 While he was chanting sutras without thinking, he was surrounded by a circle of girls dressed coquettishly.

Ke Wu Nian lowered his eyes, not looking at them, just looking at the flat ground.

About five meters opposite Wu Nian, the Miao Jiang girl whom I saw yesterday was holding the Yue Qin and playing it carefully.

 The Miao Jiang girl's eyes were extremely cold, as if she had seen everything in the world.

 When he saw this, Zhou An also had doubts in his heart?

Logically speaking, Wu Nian has the property of reducing the sense of existence, but why is it not working now?

 “There’s something wrong here.”

With this doubt, he temporarily suppressed his curiosity and started reading.

 The girls around him pointed at Wu Nian, and some girls with bad personalities even said unpleasant things.

 Wu Nian turned a deaf ear to it, still reciting Buddhist sutras.

 The Miao Jiang girl had stopped playing the harp, hugged the yueqin to her chest, and slowly stood up.

She was wrapped in thick clothes, and when she walked away, the emotion of her eyes did not change at all, and she was still indescribably indifferent.

 “Please stay, girl.”

At this time, Wu Nian finally said a word, stood up slowly, raised his head, and looked directly at the Miao Jiang girl: "There is a soaring resentment in the girl's body, which will not dissipate and affect the girl's body, little monk After chanting sutras for the girl, the resentment can be eliminated."

 The Miao Jiang girl stopped and turned her head. Her eyes were cold and filled with the air of keeping strangers away.

She spoke. Although her voice was clear and melodious, it was unforgettable, but apart from its pleasant timbre, it also had a lifeless feel to it.

 “What does it have to do with you?”

 Four simple words have isolated everything.

 The Miao girl left the stage holding her yueqin in her arms.

Wu Nian wanted to take two steps forward, but at this moment, a burst of noise rang out.

 A group of police officers came in with weapons.

Since someone was making trouble, the madam of the Jiaofang Division naturally sent someone to report the case.

This group of detectives arrived just in time, coming in at the critical moment.

 The leading policeman was stunned for a moment when he saw Wu Nian.

When reporting to the police, they said someone was making trouble, but they didn’t expect it to be a monk, and they knew the monk.

Not only do they know each other, they also know that this monk’s identity is very unusual.

Moreover, this monk followed Mr. Fu Ling and solved a major issue.

 So it is a bit difficult to catch the fast at this moment.

There are too many people watching now, and they can't show that they are close to Wu Nian, otherwise if this rumor spreads, the Lord's face will be lost.

Thinking of this, the leading policeman said bravely: "Master, you have seriously affected the order of Tingyun Mansion. Please come with us immediately."

Wu Nian sighed, looked at the direction the Miao Jiang girl left, thought for a moment, and nodded.

Although he is a road idiot and still has the attributes of Xiaotou, he is not a fool, and he also knows that this time has caused quite a disturbance.

As he was leaving, he would look back from time to time and look at the direction in which the Miao girl behind him was leaving.

If he wasn't familiar with Wu Nian's personality, Zhou An would have even thought that Wu Nian was a flower monk.

Just when Wu Nian came out, he happened to see Zhou An and was slightly startled.
