Chapter 178 Xiaoyue and the Magician, Go Down to Zhongnan Mountain! (Two in One!)

Mount Zhongnan was originally the land of Daqing Yuzhou.

Seven years ago, Taifu Xie Chunan wrote a memorial to the emperor, wanting to annex the territory of Yan. Upon hearing the news, there was an uproar in the court and the public, and many people tried to dissuade him, resulting in the loss of many heads.

Queen Mother Zhou Jinyu took the ten-year-old emperor and approved the matter.

Yuzhou!
The mountains and rivers are majestic, plains are scarce, and there are many hunters who make a living from mountain taxes. Among the states of Daqing, it is known for its poverty and backwardness.

After the King of Yan practiced Taoism in Zhongnan, three military towns were set up to garrison Yuzhou.

The expenses of the Yanbei Army of more than 80,000 people added up to a lot. In addition, during the truce, the Yanbei Army also implemented the equal-field system and the fubing system with Qianyuan. Most of the soldiers settled down in the local area, got married and had children.

With the influx of population, the widening of official roads and the expansion of the city, Yuzhou, which had only relied on the mountains for its livelihood, began to liven up a little.

At the end of each year and the beginning of the next year, pilgrims from Yan land flocked to Mount Zhongnan in an endless stream. The town at the foot of the mountain was brightly lit, and the night was as bright as day. It was difficult to find a room in the inn, and the price was sky-high!
All the gold and silver spent by the pilgrims on food, clothing and other expenses along the way became the wealth of Yuzhou.

These ten years!
The lives of the people in Yuzhou began to improve, and they became more and more reverent towards Mount Zhongnan, which was surrounded by incense all year round.

Mount Zhongnan was originally just an unknown mountain.

A mountain is not high, but it is magical if there are immortals there!
The continuous mountains of Yuzhou lead to the Yuetang River!
Yuejiang City was built along the river. It is located at the strategic point between the north and the south. In addition, it has convenient water transportation and is well connected. In the past decade, it has attracted countless merchants from all over the country.

Famous actors and actresses of the past also performed here, and theaters, singing stages, brothels and theaters all settled here.

Every year, wealthy visitors from the north come to Mount Zhongnan to make pilgrimages and spend lavishly. Many of them are extremely wealthy, and it seems as if the boxes full of gold and silver were washed away by the flood of Yuetang River.

The jargon of the flower guest is also called "tuhao"!
The local tyrants in Yan made the business of brothels and taverns extremely prosperous, with the rooms filled with gold and silver, and money coming in frequently.

Having made a fortune in the early years, the actors and actresses have become more arrogant and look down on their counterparts in the imperial capital.

No matter what industry you are in, there are always some people who are superior and inferior and cannot stand each other!
In Yuejiang City, the most famous restaurant must be "Feng Ke Lai".

Originally, this was just an ordinary restaurant in an ordinary alley, but it became very popular after Baoyue Tower announced the Rouge List two years ago.

The Rouge List is held once a year and selects the ten most beautiful women in the world. The top of the list is known as the "Color A". Those who can make it to the list are all famous beauties who are stunningly beautiful.

The proprietress of Fengkelai is actually on the list!
Beauty is famous all over the world!
For a time, the door was crowded with guests, and guests from all over the world squeezed their heads together just to catch a glimpse of the proprietress's beauty.

Only when distinguished guests come here will the lady boss show up, quite mysterious!
Today, however, is different.

In the most elegant and open-view private room on the top floor of Fengkelai.

The proprietress was carefully accompanying the two guests.

On the left side of the private room, a carved bamboo window lattice was gently pushed open, and the river breeze blew in, bringing a bit of coolness and comfort.

Out the window!
The whole picture of Yuejiang City is in full view. There are endless large ships coming and going on the river. The city is bustling with people in the streets and alleys, all kinds of shops are lined up, and the bridges and alleys are busy with traffic.

"This Yuejiang City seems to be much better than Kyoto."

The person who said this was a sturdy young man, who was leaning against the window with a plate of peanuts in his hand, chewing them slowly!
The sturdy young man was wearing a blue brocade robe and a tiger-skin hat. He had regular features, a ruddy complexion, and a pair of eyes that showed the spirit of a young man.

"Too many people isn't good, it's too noisy!"

The one who responded to him was a middle-aged scholar with a steady and magnetic voice. His temples were gray and there were traces of time in the corners of his eyes, but his elegance and mature charm could not be concealed.

If Ma Bao, who has come back from the dead, were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the two of them.

This young man is Xie Mu.

The middle-aged scholar was the magician Huang Dao who had killed a dragon in Mount Zhongnan.

The changes in Xie Mu over the years are obvious. His blood and energy are full, and his aura is deep and long. It is obvious that he has made great progress in martial arts and has entered the realm of a grandmaster.

Huang Dao, on the other hand, did not seem to have changed much, but upon closer observation, one could discover that his temperament had become more easy-going, his aura completely restrained, and his entire body seemed to blend in with the surroundings, like an ordinary person.

Return to the realm of simplicity!
The woman standing quietly beside Huang Dao was none other than the proprietress of Fengkelai, the beauty on the Rouge List.

She is in her twenties, with a graceful figure, like a willow swaying in the wind, yet carrying heavy fruits, showing a mature and attractive charm.

Even though she was wearing plain clothes, her face was as crystal clear as jade and as haloed as the crescent moon.

Her eyes were as clear as water, and her glance revealed an elegant and noble temperament that made people fall for her involuntarily, feel ashamed of themselves, and dare not have the slightest blasphemous thought.

Xie Mu turned back from the window and took another look at her. He couldn't help but secretly admire that this woman was indeed beautiful.

The first sight he saw when he entered the door made him mistakenly think that it was the white jade Guanyin from the Buddhist temple descending to the mortal world.

Huang Dao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this:
"Why, are you interested? If you like her, how about letting her be your wife?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Mu quickly waved his hands. Although he had a natural liking for beautiful women, he had been in brothels when he was young, and his years of martial arts training and wandering had given him a very thorough understanding of worldly affairs.

Women, just take a look!
He looked at the plumpness that suddenly expanded from the woman's slender waist, and then looked down.

This gap!
She seems to be still a virgin.

Xie Mu couldn't help but shook his head. Some women are destined to be untouchable.

This stunning lady on the Rouge List, who is as holy as a Bodhisattva, is secretly the current leader of the Holy Lotus Sect, one of the three major sects in the evil way.

The disciples of the Holy Lotus Sect are spread all over the world, numbering hundreds of thousands, from ordinary people to royal nobles.

The teachings say that as long as one is pious and follows the guidance of the Holy Lotus, one will be able to transcend the cycle of reincarnation after death and be led to the legendary world of Holy Lotus to become a citizen of the Holy Kingdom, where one will enjoy eternal peace, be free from disasters and be far away from human sufferings.

This religion has the largest number of believers among the three sects of the devil, and the majority of believers are female.

And this woman is even more amazing, she has reached the perfection of the Grandmaster level.

He has even cultivated the "Holy Lotus to Save Evil" in the Heavenly Demon Strategy to the highest level of "extradition" in the legend. His strength is unfathomable, and he ranks 140th on the Jingzhe List.

Being able to control a sect in the evil world, one can imagine how terrifying his methods and wisdom are.

This kind of woman is scarier than snakes and scorpions!
Currently, Xie Mu has not been included in the Jingzhe list, but his legend has long been known in the martial arts world.

Whenever a magician travels around the world, there is always a man following him.

People in the martial arts world speculated that he was the disciple of the magician.

However, only the Demonic Path knew that this Demon Master practiced the Way of Mercilessness, so how could he have any disciples?
Xie Mu has superb magic martial arts skills. He is not aggressive and would not have practiced it if it were not for the convenience of escaping later.

Xie Mu has finally come to terms with it in the past ten years!
Apart from having to worry a little bit, following Huang Dao means you'll be treated to honor wherever you go.

The fox is taking advantage of the tiger's might!
Xie Mu looked at the same bowl of plain noodles in front of Huang Dao and the various delicious dishes on the table, but he didn't even touch his chopsticks.

He has been with Huang Dao for more than ten years and is familiar with his lifestyle and diet.

I have been eating vegetarian food and noodles for ten years!
Just like a high monk, but Xie Mu knew that this killer didn't even tremble, as if he were stepping on an ant.

He couldn't help but ask: "Is this really so delicious?"

Huang Dao smiled and said:
"How about a bowl?"

The woman looked at Xie Mu and Huang Dao with her beautiful eyes, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

The relationship between the two doesn't seem like that of master and disciple.

Seeing that the woman had no intention of eating, Xie Mu started eating on his own.

He suddenly remembered why he came here today.

"Do you think that person will come?"

After saying that, he looked up at the stunning woman.

That man was a famous "sex maniac" in the world. He would kidnap any woman he liked and take her to the Snow Mountain. He didn't think that he would let go of this beauty on the Rouge List.

Huang Dao looked out the window and said calmly:
"Don't worry, I just need to show up here and let out my aura, and he will definitely come!"

This person was none other than Young Master Xiao Yue, the lord of the Great Snow Mountain who had long been famous in the martial arts world.

The top ten on the Jingzhe list is also one of the five best masters recognized by the people in the martial arts world.

After Huang Dao finished eating, he sat quietly in his chair, breathing steadily, just like an ordinary person taking a nap.

Xie Mu’s cultivation was still in its infancy and he couldn’t feel it.

In the woman's perception, the zodiac seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and the seat was empty.

The cultivation level at this level has reached an unfathomable level, and is not inferior even to the great masters of the evil ways in history.

What is even more shocking is that Huang Dao has practiced the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Method", which is originally an extremely strange magic skill, but in Huang Dao's hands, it seems to have undergone some kind of mutation, becoming even more bizarre and bloody, and able to absorb the cultivation and blood essence of others. This ability has far exceeded the scope of the original magic skill.

After Xie Mu had eaten and drunk his fill, the food on the table was cleared away and two pots of tea were served.

Xie Mu leaned uncomfortably in his chair, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

The woman still stood quietly behind Huang Dao, not daring to be negligent.

Half an hour has passed!
Huang Dao opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

"coming!"

The woman tensed up instantly after hearing this. There was a visitor today, so she naturally knew who it was.

That Young Master Xiaoyue!
Xie Mu also immediately became alert and looked at the door and window of the private room. There were only two entrances.

No trace left!
He looked around the house again to see who was coming from.

There were only three of them in this small private room.

Huang Dao smiled and said:
"Mr. Xiaoyue, now that you are here, please take a seat."

Just finished speaking!
The woman felt as if there was a breath of hot air blowing past her ear, and she was startled.

When she came to her senses again, there was a man in white sitting at the table. He took his seat as quietly as a ghost.

Xie Mu's eyes widened as he watched the scene in disbelief.

The door was closed and the windows were open, but this floor was more than ten feet high. He stared at the windows but did not notice any movement.

How on earth did Young Master Xiao Yue appear in the room so quietly?

This guy's lightness skills are truly terrifying!
No trace on the snow, white cranes in the sky.

At this moment, Xie Mu was even more surprised by his appearance.

This person's appearance is very different from what was rumored.

The woman also looked over curiously at this mysterious Young Master Xiao Yue in the martial arts world.

It turned out to be just a thin, plain-looking middle-aged man.

He was wearing a white dress embroidered with a pattern of hundreds of birds in gold thread, with a white jade belt around his waist and an ivory fan in his hand. His facial features were ordinary, with slightly sunken cheeks and a faint red spot at the corner of his mouth. His narrow eyes revealed a hint of condescension.

This is Master Xiaoyue!
Xie Mu opened his eyes wide. This was the handsome man from the martial arts world, the banished immortal, Young Master Xiao Yue.

It turned out to be like this!
Rumors in the world should not be taken seriously.

Xiao Yue first looked at the woman carefully, and a smile appeared on his face.

"She is on the Rouge Ranking and is rated as the "White Jade Guanyin". She is indeed stunning!"

Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but move closer to the magician.

Compared to the ruthless magician, Xiao Yue, who has hundreds of concubines in his harem and is addicted to women, is more terrifying to her.

Xiao Yue casually unfolded the folding fan in her hand, on which was a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water. She smiled and said:.

"I came here today for serious business, but I'm afraid I can't let the girl have her wish!"

Say it!
The red spots on Xiao Yue's face seemed even redder.

When Xie Mu saw this, he could only sigh in his heart, how could Xiao Yue's appearance make those women fall in love with him to death.

He really thought he was a banished immortal. Being loved by a woman, I'm afraid she was abducted by force!
Flower thief!
Xiao Yue seemed to see what Xie Mu was thinking, turned to him and said with a smile:
"My dear friend, do you also want to go to the Snow Mountain to enjoy bliss?"

"My ladies are really good at serving people!"

Xie Mu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this!
He remembered that there was a rumor in the martial arts world that Xiao Yue would invite men to go to the Great Snow Mountain.

Among them were scholars taking imperial examinations, butchers killing pigs, street beggars, and so on. There were all kinds of people.

After being invited to the mountain, these people will be regarded as "Mr. Xiao Yue" by Xiao Yue's hundreds of ladies.

Let them experience the illusory pleasure of being "Mr. Xiaoyue", whether it is power or lust!
However, when these people were restored to their original identities after living a life of drunkenness and debauchery, many of them committed suicide or became insane because they could not accept the huge gap.

Xie Mu was also a little scared. This man was a martial arts grandmaster at the same level as Huang Dao. He was afraid that he could easily break his neck.

Huang Daoshi said: "Mr. Xiaoyue, why bother going with a junior?"

Xiao Yue put away her folding fan, looked away and turned her head, no longer staring at Xie Mu.

"This time the demon master came to me, he probably didn't want to use the "Demon in the Heart of Dao" on me, right?"

Huang Dao narrowed his eyes and said, "This time I'm not the one looking for Master Xiao Yue!"

"Isn't it Young Master Xiao Yue who is looking for me?"

Xiao Yue smiled after hearing this!
"Could it be that the magician came here for this purpose as well?"

"I heard that the magician was defeated by this man twice. Do you still have the guts this time?"

The woman behind him seemed to understand something!
The magician fled twice, and he was the only one left in the world.

Three True Sect Lu Yu!
The magician's scar was exposed, but he did not look annoyed, and said in a deep voice:
"It's because I know how strong this person is that I don't dare to act rashly, and I choose to join forces with Master Xiao Yue!"

Xiao Yue remained silent, with only a faint smile on her face. She then opened her fan with a "swish" sound and fanned it gently!
"Why should I join forces with you? There is no deadly feud between me and Zhongnan Mountain!"

The magician was unmoved, and said meaningfully: "Young Master Xiao Yue has been wandering around Yuetang River in recent months. Although I don't know exactly what he is after, I can guess a little. It must be related to Mount Zhongnan."

Xiao Yue's thoughts seemed to be exposed, and the smile on her face faded.

The magician continued:
"I don't care what Master Xiao Yue wants, nor do I want to know."

"I just need to kill Lu Chen with my own hands. What do you think, sir?"

Xiao Yue was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay! As you say."

After hearing this, Xie Mu sighed, finally he couldn't escape the matter concerning this young guard.

A smile appeared on the magician's face.

"The time is next month when Lu Chen sinks into Zhongnan Mountain!"
