Tianshang Pavilion
The Tianshang Pavilion is 12 stories high, three stories higher than the ancestral temple. It is magnificent and splendid, and is built on a one-to-one scale according to the ancient palace.
From the outside, it looks magnificent and luxurious. As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by many women dressed in Hu Ji costumes, some fat and some thin, with fair skin and beautiful looks, for you to choose from.
Further ahead, on the central stage, there is a dancer dressed as Dunhuang flying fairies, with golden bells on her ankles ringing non-stop. She has a charming smile, her eyes are moving, and her waist is softer than a willow branch.
There is revelry and singing every night, and beauties are smiling in the pavilion.
Jiang Qianfeng and Lin Tianya came in with a few monks. They were wearing loose green and white robes with a few small blood-red snakes embroidered on the cuffs. Their eyes were slightly bright and they looked lifelike.
This is the work uniform of District 9, which means that you work in the Central Hall of District 9. This is a blessing that many people would love to have, and it is also a hot position.
So they often appeared in Tianshang Pavilion wearing this work uniform, telling everyone that they were privileged people.
Jiang Qianfeng: "This one is too thin, this one is too old, this one is too fat, this one is too dark!"
Lin Tianya: "What's going on? The quality of the oriole flowers in Tianshang Pavilion has been poor recently!"
Jiang Qianfeng: "That's right! No one in our village would want these!"
He and Lin Tianya looked at each other. After they did that thing, they were promoted and became rich. They were no longer small employees of the ancestral hall, but were working with the elders in the city center of District 9.
Now we are in the city center, where we enjoy the romance, drinking and gambling every night. We are so happy!
These dissatisfied words fell into the ears of the turtle man, who hurried forward to apologize: "I'm sorry, it's just that my recent batch of oriole flowers didn't satisfy you. How about this, I'll give you a 50% discount on all your purchases here today."
"I've said it before, the service at Tianshang Pavilion is well-deserved." Jiang Qianfeng was very proud. He picked up Yinghua's top card from the side and glanced at it. "Oh, someone's birthday is coming today. It's a good time for us brothers to go over and join in the fun."
…
Liu Baozhu is an ordinary "Yinghua" in Tianshang Pavilion. Today is her 20th birthday. On the night of her birthday, she first ate a birthday cake that she had not seen for a long time. There was a rare pink cream icing on the cake, and it was written with "Happy Birthday Yinghua".
Yes, there was no name on the cake, because she had no name since she entered Tianshang Pavilion.
Yinghua is her nickname, and also the nickname for all women.
They used orioles and flowers to replace prostitutes, expressing that they were like the ancients, going out for a spring outing and looking for pleasure.
Using Tianshang Pavilion instead of Brothel expresses his desire to become an immortal or a god.
Therefore, it is normal for monks to come to Tianshang Pavilion to look for Yinghua in District 9.
These monks came here to congratulate her and brought her beautiful Hanfu clothes and hairpins with tassels.
This set of procedures is also the procedure for all Yinghua’s birthdays, just assembly line wholesale.
Jiang Qianfeng: "We were standing at the door. We saw that it was your birthday, so we came here to celebrate for you!"
Lin Tianya: "Look! How nice we are to you!"
Liu Baozhu smiled, her usual working smile, without any hint of laughter, and gently raised her hand to pour him a glass of wine: "Thank you for your presence, Master Monk. Baozhu offers you a drink."
Jiang Qianfeng was a little stunned when he heard him call himself Baozhu, because he couldn't remember Baozhu's name at all, and could only use "you" or "Yinghua" instead.
Baozhu was not unhappy either, because she could not remember the monk's name at all, so she simply used "Monk Master" instead. She felt particularly relieved because in her heart, she never took these monks seriously.
Although everyone present was her guest and came to celebrate her birthday with her, the birthday was actually just an excuse for them to get together. The real purpose of their gathering was to chat about everything under the sun, about the past and the present, and to celebrate her birthday at the same time.
Although they are all low-level cultivators without any great abilities, they can always speak eloquently in front of Yinghua, as if nothing can't be accomplished by them. Each of them will speak big and boast, taking advantage of the power of others.
"Oh, Baozhu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? I see you're getting fatter and fatter. Did you eat too much birthday cake?"
A monk took over the conversation and, knowing that she called Baozhu, he said her name and commented on her figure. It was obvious that this guy was the fattest one among all the people present.
"Really? It might be because the sisters in the building have been celebrating birthdays more frequently recently, so I ate a little more cake." Liu Baozhu smiled, rubbed her chubby cheeks, and smiled ingratiatingly, which made everyone feel a little happy.
In this Tianshang Pavilion, all the girls have different appearances, and there are very few girls as cute and likable as Liu Baozhu, so they sometimes come here.
Of course, the most important thing is that she is "good quality and affordable".
Jiang Qianfeng: "Baozhu is still the best. I don't know who owes money to the other Yinghua in the pavilion. Every time I go in, they give me a cold look. The price is so high. If I weren't a cultivator, I really wouldn't be able to get in! I don't know why they are showing off. Isn't she just a seller?"
Lin Tianya: "Brother Jiang, please stop talking. Last time you gave that Yinghua a bad review, I haven't seen her since then. It's a pity. She's pretty, but a little cold."
"Ah, is it because I complained too much? Alas, it's all my fault. I should be gentle with women. I don't know where those pimps sent these beautiful girls. I hope they died!" Lin Tianya was a little surprised and took a sip of wine.
"The rules in this pavilion are a bit strict. Bad reviews are not allowed. If you give a bad review, Yinghua will be beaten. It feels like the feudal era! Sigh!" Jiang Qianfeng hugged Yinghua beside him and turned her reluctant face away. "Oh, I was just saying that, but you are not happy about it. You are worthy of being a newcomer. You have a stubborn temper. I will teach you a lesson later!"
Liu Baozhu gave the newcomer Yinghua a look. She was wearing a red and white chest-length peony-patterned dress, draped with a layer of light red gauze. When she walked, her pearl hairpins jingled and a fragrant breeze blew.
The woman has a high bun and a flower on her forehead, which makes her eyes look brighter and more charming, giving her the temperament of a Tang Dynasty lady.
"Master Monk, please don't bother with this little girl. How long has she been here? She definitely doesn't know the rules! Today is my birthday, and why don't you patronize me instead of a new girl? Isn't this embarrassing for me?"
Liu Baozhu stepped forward and clung to the man's arm. As if she was jealous, she brushed the girl's hand and pulled her down. She fell into the man's arms, as if she was acting coquettishly. This made the man feel like a prince or nobleman in the ancient upper class, and he couldn't help but feel his mind drifting away.
The girl looked at Liu Baozhu gratefully and said hesitantly, "Master Monk, then tonight..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted impatiently by the man: "What do you mean tonight or tomorrow night? Don't you know that I'm enjoying bliss right now?" Jiang Qianfeng brushed Baozhu's arms, his eyes glued to her snow-white skin, and refused without turning his head, "Get out! I have Baozhu now!"
The monk next to him saw his eyes wide open, with a lecherous look on his face, and couldn't help but tease him: "Brother Jiang, you come to Tianshang Pavilion 10 times and you ask for the pearl 8 times. I think you should just redeem the pearl and take it home."
Liu Baozhu smiled when she heard that. What 10 times or 8 times? It really made them seem like they were in love. It was just because she was cheap and had a high cost-effectiveness ratio.
"Yeah, Baozhu is already 20 years old. As the saying goes, women are worthless after 25. If she loses her looks after 25, she'll probably be sent to the mines in District 9!"
"Brother Jiang, just redeem the pearl and consider it a good deed!"
Someone heard this and sneered, "Brother Jiang, you don't have these low-grade spirit stones. Last time I saw him buying a low-level magic weapon, he couldn't even afford it. He's so short of money!"
Jiang Qianfeng's face darkened, and he felt a little unhappy about what he said. Who would be willing to admit that he was poor in front of a woman? He stopped and stared at the monk who was talking with a serious look.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lin Tianya immediately changed the subject: "Have you guys heard anything lately? It seems something went wrong at the mine. Two elders went to arrest them, and they haven't returned yet!"
If he could divert the attention of others, Lin Tianya knew the little secret and pretended to be mysterious: "Do you know who is guarding the mine?"
The low-level cultivators in the center of District 9 have never been to the District 9 mine. It is said that there are underground spirit stones everywhere there, which is simply the dream paradise of all cultivators. However, the position of the dragon dance team is very tight, otherwise someone would have signed up to be a member of the dragon dance team long ago.
"Come on, tell me! Why are you keeping me in suspense? Who is this person? As the garrison commander, does that mean everyone, including the lower-grade spirit stones, will be under his control? In that case, wouldn't this person be reaping a huge advantage?"
"How happy it would be to be there with low-grade spirit stones everywhere. My cultivation level would soar!"
"How could such a good job belong to low-level monks like us? It has already been decided!"
"Forget about the garrison jobs. We can't even get in as members of the dragon dance team. It's all nepotism. What era is this? Even cultivating immortals depends on connections!"
They all come from ordinary families and have low cultivation levels. Although they work alongside the elders, they have no way to advance and only receive a fixed salary.
As soon as these superior dragon dance teams and garrisons were mentioned, they immediately began to complain and become extremely jealous.
Lin Tianya: "Alright, alright, stop blaming others! You better keep this to yourself. I didn't tell you this, I heard it from a friend in a dragon dance team. Don't tell anyone else!"
Jiang Qianfeng: "Okay, tell me! What's going on? The two elders haven't returned yet, and the garrisoned officer is also dead?"
Lin Tianya looked around mysteriously, and under everyone's expectation, he slowly told the truth: "The person stationed at the mine is Zhao Yongchao, the nephew of our District 9 Chief!"
"I heard that the mine was on fire. Two elders noticed something was wrong and went to investigate. They were killed by a female monk near the District 9 mine. And this female monk was the culprit behind the mine fire!"
Jiang Qianfeng was surprised: "What? A female cultivator! When has such a powerful female cultivator ever appeared in our Ninth District? I've never heard of it!"
"Yes, I've lived my whole life and have never heard of a nun so powerful. Nowadays, you can hardly see any nuns in the city center. They are all mortals."
"Oh right, it's hard for us male cultivators to find a few female cultivators, so we can only find some mortals to help us!"
Jiang Qianfeng laughed at him, "You still want to find a female cultivator to be your concubine? That's just wishful thinking! If a female cultivator sees your behavior, she will kick you to death!"
Everyone laughed and put aside their grudges, completely forgetting the unpleasantness that had just occurred. They hugged their own beauties, drank wine and ate meat, and were very happy.
Lin Tianya put down his chopsticks, worried. "You said this person set fire to the mine? Will she also set fire to the Tianshang Pavilion? After all, she can even kill the elders. Her cultivation must be no less than the elders. And the elders are about to reach the foundation stage. She can't be more powerful than the district chief!"
"You have a point. These female cultivators are too compassionate. It's possible they could burn down the Tianshang Pavilion!"
"That's impossible! I heard the district chief is about to come out of seclusion. The two elders have been killed, so the district chief will definitely come out!"
Jiang Qianfeng: "In District Nine, the District Chief must have the highest cultivation level. If this female cultivator is really that powerful, why doesn't she just kill the District Chief?"
"Brother, you are asking for your life, how dare you say that!"
Jiang Qianfeng: "I'm telling the truth. If she's really that powerful, why doesn't she kill the District Chief and secure her position as District Chief of District 9, or go to District 8 or District 7 to get an elder position?"
Everyone thought what he said made sense: "Yes, it seems to make some sense."
Jiang Qianfeng said clearly, "To put it bluntly, this person's cultivation has not even reached the foundation building stage. He is only at the 13th level of Qi training or the great perfection of Qi training. He is no match for our district chief. We should just relax and have a good time. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold!"
Jiang Qianfeng hugged Liu Baozhu and smiled obscenely: "I'm going to enjoy Baozhu's beauty tonight!"
The others saw his lustful look and laughed out loud: "Jiang Qianfeng, you really are so romantic that you would die under the peony flowers and become a ghost!"
Jiang Qianfeng didn't care what they said. He hugged the beauty and went into the bedroom in a hurry. Seeing this, everyone was excited and followed suit.
Liu Baozhu smiled charmingly on the surface, but in fact she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit!
Bah! Jiang Qianfeng and Lin Tianya! Disgusting things! How dare you come near me!
Damn those male cultivators! If there really are female cultivators falling from the sky, please kill these stinky men quickly!
She let out bursts of cries in her heart, and not only her, but all women let out silent cries!
If there really are female cultivators who set fire to a mine to save mortals, please save them!
All they heard was a loud bang outside, like thunder, deafening. Everyone smelled a rich floral fragrance, and then orchid petals floated into Tianshang Pavilion from the window and door.
The intoxicating fragrance of flowers filled the room, perfectly matching men's imaginations of wealthy men visiting brothels in ancient times: "How beautiful! If the ancients were still alive, they would surely leave behind poems that would be passed down through the ages!"
Only a female voice could be heard: "The flowers in the hall have intoxicated three thousand guests, and the frost of a sword has chilled fourteen states."①
Everyone nodded: "Very good, very good poem! It fits the situation very well!"
Someone took out a long sword and said excitedly: "I can't help but feel a little impulsive and want to draw my sword to cheer everyone up!"
He had held the sword in his hand for only a few seconds when a fierce green light came across. With a shake of his hand, the sword circled in the air and pierced straight into the red pillar of Tianshang Pavilion. The sword body hummed and made a frightening sound!
The female voice sounded again, with a hint of disdain.
"It's you I'm going to kill."
