Seeking the Flying Sword Path Chapter 8: Xie Shuang
bsp;"Madman?" Tian Bo was slightly stunned and whispered, "Madman has been dead for almost three years."
"Have you been dead for almost three years?" Qin Yun's expression changed.
When he first entered Xishan Sword Garden, he was the son of an ordinary head catcher, only ten years old.
Tian Bo is the son of a wealthy businessman and is only nine years old.
Xie Lei's family opened an **** agency, and he was only eleven years old.
Xie Lei was very strong-willed and had a bad temper, so he was nicknamed "Crazy Man Xie", while "Tian Bo" was teased as "Little Bobo" because he was handsome, frail and shy at the time.
Strictly speaking, Tian Bo is equivalent to a small follower. Qin Yun and Xie Kuangren ‘Xie Lei’ are the two most skilled swordsmen in the Xishan Sword Garden. The two often compete and learn from each other. Xie Kuangren's sister 'Xie Shuang' is treated as his own sister by Qin Yun, because Qin Yun also had a sister, but her sister died when he was eight years old. Xie Shuang looks very similar to his sister. Even his coquettish temper is similar.
Qin Yun and Xie Lei had a very good relationship in private. They couldn't believe that Kuangren Xie, who was extremely cunning and powerful, would die like this?
"What happened? How did you die?" Qin Yun felt his heart aching. Scenes from his youth came to mind and his eyes turned red.
"I originally planned to wait until today's party to talk to you in private, Brother Yun." Tian Bo lowered his voice, "You also know that Kuangren's father has been in poor health for a long time and has been seriously ill in bed. After you left Only half a year after returning home, Kuangren’s father finally left! However, Kuangren had the strength and skills to secure his position as the head **** of the **** bureau. He even later said that his next marriage would be with our largest family in Guangling County. A concubine of the Hong family can be regarded as a supporter of the Hong family, but who would have thought that something would happen before she could marry a wife. "
"What's the matter?" Qin Yun asked.
"The Xie family took a escort, and this **** was very big." Tian Bo said, "The madman went to **** the **** in person. He was about to reach the end of the field and encountered a monster. The battle was said to be very tragic. Hundreds of people were killed. Only three people survived, and two monsters died. When the madman died, the sword pierced the monster's head, but the monster also scratched the madman's heart."
Qin Yun was silent.
Monster...
Escort agencies usually encounter monsters and offer treasures, and the monsters sometimes let them off because they are not sure enough. Generally, a powerful **** agency can kill one or two little monsters.
"These monsters." Qin Yun gritted his teeth. Monsters are generally less intelligent than humans, and some are even stupider! If you are unlucky, offering treasures will be useless, so you can only rely on the sword in your hand.
"Where is Xiaoshuang?" Qin Yun asked.
Once Kuangren Xie died, the Xie family was left with only one female doll.
"That **** trip was very big. If the **** failed, the Xie family would have to pay compensation. So many people died, and the Xie family would still have to pay compensation." Tian Bo shook his head, "Sister Xie Shuang is also kind and righteous. The **** agency broke up and the whole family went bankrupt to compensate first. The family members of the dead men didn't have enough money to pay for the escorts, so they were forced to sell themselves to Yanfeng Tower to get enough money."
"Sell yourself to Yanfeng Tower?" Qin Yun's face turned pale.
The madman died, sister Xie Shuang sold herself to Yanfeng Tower?
Fortunately.
Fortunately, Yanfeng Tower is the most famous brothel in Guangling County. The famous prostitutes in this brothel are all prostitutes but not their bodies. Only some ordinary brothels sell meat.
Meat sellers are very looked down upon, and a half a tael of silver at a time is probably enough. However, it is different for real famous prostitutes. They are all wealthy and distinguished guests who come in droves to invite them to have a cup of tea and chat. , all cost dozens of taels of silver! It still depends on whether the courtesans are willing or not. Like some famous prostitutes who are famous all over the world... some of them belong to the same family, and even if they spend thousands of taels of silver just to meet them, they may not be able to get what they want!
Of course, if famous prostitutes volunteer, there are also those who recommend themselves as pillow mats, but it is very rare.
"Sister Xie Shuang is the only daughter of the Xie family. She is good at sword dancing and plays the pipa well. Her appearance is also very good. She just sold her body for a high price." Tian Bo shook his head, "I wanted to help with money, but Xie Shuang My sister needed nearly 20,000 taels of silver at that time, and my Tian family had to sell nearly half of our family property to make up for it, and the price was too low for the urgent sale. There was really no way, and it was impossible for my father to agree."
"Nearly twenty thousand taels?" Qin Yun nodded. He was considered rich if he had ten thousand taels of silver. It was already rare for Yanfenglou to be willing to pay for nearly twenty thousand taels of silver from selling his life.
"Let's go to Yanfeng Tower tonight." Qin Yun said.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Tian Bo nodded.
……
Although he was eager to see Xie Shuang, Yanfeng Tower only opened its doors at night to welcome guests, and Xie Shuang had been in Yanfeng Tower for more than two years, so he was not in a hurry. Qin Yun patiently stayed here to accompany many old people. Friends.
Sitting by the railing, drinking wine, watching the green mountains and green water with friends practicing sword skills on the water.
"Brother Qin Yun, why don't you come and give us some advice?"
"Yes, come on, don't just drink."
Hello friends.
"No need." Qin Yun forced a smile. He really wasn't in that mood. Thinking of Xie Shuang who sold himself to Yanfeng Tower and the dead Kuangren Xie, he felt depressed and uncomfortable in his heart.
"Brother Qin Yun." A handsome young man dressed casually came and sat next to Qin Yun. This young man was the 'Master Wu Feng' who originally established the Xishan Sword Garden. Master Wu Feng smiled and said, "You At the age of thirteen, he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. At the age of fifteen, he traveled around the world alone. Now he must have found his destiny and opened the gate of immortality, right? ”
"After all the hardships, I finally opened the door to immortality." Qin Yun said.
Master Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "I admire you. You are the only one of the younger generation in Guangling County who has opened the door to immortality. And do you know what I admire most about you?"
Qin Yun was confused.
"I admire your courage." Master Wufeng said, "With your original talent, it is easy to join the practicing sects around Guangling County, and it is not difficult to open the gate of immortality. But you obviously look down on it. Those ordinary cultivating sects would rather travel around the world to find opportunities to join the truly top sects. Perhaps the path to immortality requires this kind of Taoist heart."
Qin Yun was stunned and shook his head: "Don't flatter me. When I left home, I was exposed to wind and rain, and often faced death crises. I gritted my teeth and endured it at first. Later, I really wanted to go home, but I found that I had already left. My home is thousands of miles away, and returning home is equally difficult and dangerous.”
“It’s impressive to be able to endure being thousands of miles away from home.” Mr. Wu Feng raised the bamboo wine pot, “I respect you.”
Qin Yun also raised the wine pot
The two touched each other.
Master Wu Feng drank wine before saying: "You are different from us, and your life span is already different. If you open the immortal gate, you can live for more than a hundred years. If you enter the Xiantian realm, you will have a life span of two hundred! Legend has it that you will live for two hundred years! In the golden elixir realm, you have a life span of five hundred, and you are a true immortal. In the future, when all of us, your playmates when you were young, have become a pile of dust, you may still be very young."
Qin Yun was slightly stunned and said nothing. He just watched his friends competing on the lake and drank in silence.
******
In the evening.
Qin Yun declined the invitation to the evening party and left with Tian Bo.
"Let's go to Yanfeng Tower."
The two rode back.
Yanfeng Tower is the most famous brothel in Guangling County. Officials, celebrities, wealthy businessmen and wealthy guests gather here. Even a cup of tea costs one or two silver dollars! One tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for two or three months.
At this moment, Yanfeng Tower has opened its doors to welcome guests, the red lanterns have been hung up, and a group of beautiful maids are waiting outside the gate to warmly welcome guests.
