Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 348: First time personally participating in the hairpin-haired oiran!

Yu Ke slowly looked around and saw that the theater was brightly lit and bustling with people, laughter and merriment, as if it had brought him back to the decadent and glamorous city that never sleeps in his previous life.

The women were dressed in all kinds of gorgeous clothes, some were moving lightly among the tables, some were chatting with the guests with lowered brows and gentle smiles, adding a touch of softness and charm to this lively scene, which was a feast for the eyes.

Zhou Yuner approached quietly, her bright eyes full of concern, and asked softly:

"Master Guan, are you okay?"

She saw that Xie Guan had been standing there motionless, like a sculpture, and had no reaction even when she pushed him gently. She couldn't help but feel an inexplicable worry in her heart.

Yu Ke slowly came back to his senses, feeling the delicate touch on his arm, his eyes involuntarily fell on the beauty in front of him.

She opened her bra, half of her snow-white skin was faintly visible under the light, her eyes and eyebrows were full of charm, and the black mole at the corner of her mouth added a unique charm to her, making it difficult to look away.

This person must be Zhou Yuner without a doubt.

Xie Guan quickly glanced at the people around him and saw that the woman in golden clothes with noble temperament should be Li Xiangjun.

From the words and deeds of the three Confucian scholars surrounding her, it is not difficult to guess that they should be Jia Yu and others.

As for the middle-aged man with a round face and a concerned expression, Xie Guan already knew that he should be Zhang Yuanlai.

All of this was exactly the same as the scenario he had imagined in his mind.

It’s just that this so-called “reincarnation of heaven” was more like a carefully designed game, requiring different options to unlock the subsequent plot direction.

[Personal participation] is completely different. It feels like you are there and everything is within your reach.

Zhang Yuanlai looked at Xie Guan again, his eyes full of worry:

"Master Guan, are you okay? Recently, many victims have poured into the city of Bianjing. Most of them are suffering from the plague and are in serious condition. People in Kyoto are also in a panic because of this. Many people have started to have fever and cough."

"Some people are even more likely to be in a daze, their eyes become dull, and eventually they foam at the mouth and are difficult to treat."

Xie Guan gently moved his stiff hands and feet, cleared his throat, and slowly spoke:

"I was just distracted just now, it's nothing."

His gaze inadvertently fell on the person who triggered this [personal participation] - Sima Pan.

He was a tall man, but at this moment his eyes were unusually dull, as if he had lost his soul. He just stood there mechanically, repeating the words just now: "Please come and see, Master Guan!"

While Yu Ke was thinking, a strange scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

A large, ancient tripod was quietly reflected in his heart, emitting a faint light.

Yu Ke was a little surprised, and the "Kunxu Ding" also came with it!

A distant and deep knock.

The words on the cauldron gradually froze.

【Faced with this matter, you decide...】

1. Reject Sima Pan's story. (Hint: It may have an impact in the future.)
2. Agree to this matter and go there after the banquet. (Hint: It may be beneficial in the future.)
3. Agree to this and you can go. (Hint: It may have an impact on the future.)
4. End in-person participation. (1/3)

Yu Ke thought about it slowly and was curious as to why, after he personally participated, the options he had just given were the same, but the future hints became different.

Judging from the tips, the best option is.

2. Agree to this matter and go there after the banquet. (Hint: It may be beneficial in the future.)
Yu Ke coughed and tried to imitate Xie Guan's tone.

This time!

The big cauldron in the sea of ​​heart struck again.

Xie Guan's memories came flooding back like a moth to a flame.

Yu Ke spoke in this "familiar yet strange" tone:

"Brother Sima, please tell General Sima that Xie Guan will arrive after the banquet."

His tone changed from being unnatural at the beginning to becoming calm and confident. As he finished speaking, he seemed to have really become Xie Guan himself, and a sense of tranquility lingered in his chest.

After all, in Yu Ke's heart, he always had a sense of alienation towards this world, like "watching fish in the lake", and now, this feeling seems to be slowly dissipating.

After hearing this, Sima Pan's eyes lit up. After a pause, he nodded and said:
"Master Guan, I hope you don't forget the agreement."

Sima Pan put away his hairpin and said goodbye.

Yu Ke looked at his departing back, thinking about something.

However, Zhou Yuner felt that there was something vaguely different about Master Guan now.

But I can't tell exactly what the difference is.

Yu Ke looked at the stage on all four sides with great interest.

at this time!

The second dance had already begun on the square stage, and a woman in a red silk dress came on stage amid the cheers of the crowd.

She was about twenty years old, tall and slender, with a ponytail hanging down to her waist. She held a light steel sword upside down in her hand, looking heroic, and her fair and pretty features added a bit of heroism.

The people in the audience have started cheering.

"It's Madam Gongsun, who hasn't been to the palace for many years and is the most popular courtesan in Zixiao Pavilion."

"In the past there was a beautiful lady named Gongsun, whose sword dance moved all four directions."

The woman in red silk began to dance with the sword.

The woman's body was lithe, but the sword in her hand was shining with cold light. The sword was like a dragon, illuminating the stage in all directions.

Her sword dance is extremely moving, and every movement is full of power and beauty, which is a feast for the eyes.

He Xiao and others were excited and stared at the stage intently.

Lady Gongsun's sword dance is rare.

I haven’t seen him in Bian Jing for several years.

Yu Ke changed his posture, sat comfortably on the chair at the table, stretched his body, and looked relaxed and contented.

He picked up the fruit cake that had been prepared on the table, took a bite, and savored it carefully.

This was the first time he tried to eat something in a personal way, and he couldn't help feeling curious and expectant.

The first time he personally participated, he tried to bring items out of the "Kunxu Realm". After he finished personally participating, everything disappeared.

The second time he participated in person, he tried to bring items from his original world into the "Kunxu Realm", but the result was that the items in his hands disappeared.

The two worlds cannot communicate!
What changes will there be if you personally participate and eat the fruits this time?

Yu Ke thought he would not feel anything.

Surprisingly, it was the same as eating in the original world, except that the fairy fruits in the original world did not taste as delicious.

But it feels real.

Yu Ke moved his hands again and touched his face.

There is a real sense of illusion, like "Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly".

One day on earth is equal to ten years in the cauldron.

He recalled a piece of miscellaneous novel he had read in his previous life, which told the story of a woodcutter who went up the mountain and met a fairy boy who played chess and sang.

When the fairy boy urged him to go back, he found that the axe handle had been completely rotten, and when he returned home, everything had changed drastically.

Thinking of this, Yu Ke couldn't help but daydream. If he had been practicing in the cauldron for ten years, would it be like only one day had passed in the Shenxiao Sect?

But that’s not right either!
According to the records of this world, the first simulation of "land sinking" should have been during the Warring States Period.

The second simulation of "Xie Guan" happened three thousand years after he left Lu Chen.

According to previous simulations, this world seems to have expanded further, the map has become larger, and there are new regions and forces such as Eternal Heaven to the north and the Southern Buddhist Kingdom to the south.

What changes have taken place?

Yu Ke couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

at this time!

A gentle voice came. "Master Guan, don't you like watching Madam Gongsun dance with swords?"

Yu Ke looked up and saw that it was Zhou Yuner who noticed that he was not looking at the stage.

Zhou Yuner walked over slowly and picked up a glass of wine from the table.

"Yun'er, please come in, sir."

After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Yuner said shyly: "Master Guan, do you need Yuner to feed you?"

Yu Ke was slightly stunned and quickly refused.

Because he had already seen Zhou Yuner, who was dressed boldly, and was ready to gently untie the "two huge mountains" with his hands.

Xie Guan's memories came flooding back, and he remembered something Xie Yuan had said: when girls in brothels meet men they like, they often behave boldly.

The so-called "feeding wine" is one of the ways, and the tea party in brothels is elegantly called "high mountains and flowing water".

The mountains naturally understand.

Now that she is in the public eye, Zhou Yuner will cover herself with a veil.

Yu Ke didn't dare either.

"Miss Yuner, I can do it myself."

There was a hint of imperceptible loss in Zhou Yuner's eyes.

Deep in her heart, she had quietly developed an admiration for that young man, which she could hardly suppress.

However, when she looked at the young man, she saw that he had an indifferent expression and did not seem to take her feelings to heart, which made her heart sink.

She bit her red lips lightly, not wanting to miss this fleeting chance, hence her bold move just now. It was the first time in her life that she disregarded her modesty just to get closer to him.

Although Li Xiangjun was paying attention to the stage, her beautiful eyes were always keeping an eye on Xie Guan and the other person.

It seems that Sister Yoona is really attracted to this young man and she has taken the initiative for the first time.

Zhou Yuner moved and sat next to Xie Guan.

Yu Ke only smelled a fragrance, and since there was a beautiful woman accompanying him, he did not refuse.

Now, on the square stage, Lady Gongsun's dance has just come to an end.

The audience applauded loudly and lasted for a long time.

Lady Gongsun did not leave the stage immediately, but stood on the stage with her hands clasped together, looking heroic, like a knight wandering the world.

The MC above has already said: "Madam Gongsun, today's setting poem topic is."

Madam Gongsun smiled slightly, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Female hero."

As soon as four words came out!
There was another round of applause from the audience.

Zhang Yuanlai was quite surprised that no topic for the poem was given in Nihuang just now.

Seeing this, He Xiao seemed to guess what Zhang Yuanlai was thinking and explained:
"Miss Nihuang already has poems written by Mr. San, so she naturally doesn't need anyone else to write for her. Moreover, Mr. San is here in person at Yaoxian Tower today, so Miss Nihuang's title as the most popular courtesan is probably already a sure thing."

Li Xiangjun's face was somewhat lonely. She originally had the opportunity to become one of the courtesans competing on stage today.

She said enviously: "Today, Sister Nihuang only needs Mr. San to be here. She doesn't have to do anything. The top three courtesans today are already in her pocket."

The shadow of a famous tree.

Mr. San’s reputation is enough to propel an oiran to the top.

This is a blessing that no one can ask for.

Recalling the past, Mr. San met Nihuang while drunk in the West Wing.

From then on, Nihuang firmly held the position of the most popular courtesan in Yuehuaxuan for ten years.

Jia Yu and others did not care about these, but just pondered over Gongsun Niangzi's "poetry topic".

In fact, they don’t have to think about it.

Standing behind Lady Gongsun was the Sixth Prince, who had already established a poetry club, which included students from the Imperial Academy and the Academy.

He gathered together some talented and famous people in Bianliang, and this man was the biggest financial backer of Lady Gongsun.

The retainers of the Sixth Prince had already known the "topic of the poem".

Long planned.

However, the titles of the poems written by Lady Gongsun in recent years are almost all about "Women are not necessarily inferior to men".

Although I didn't know about some poetry meetings in Bian Jing in advance, I could guess about them.

At least!

Jia Yu and his companions had prepared similar drafts in their minds and were quite confident in their poetry.

at this time!

They only need to hand in their prepared poems to the emcee, who will do a preliminary screening before handing them over to Lady Gongsun to select the final three.

Among these three poems, the one with the most "hairpin flowers" will be selected as the setting poem.

And each hairpin flower requires ten taels of silver in exchange.

The hairpin flowers obtained by writing this poem represent the number of flowers the courtesan wears in her hair at the banquet.

The one with the highest hairpin flower will be ranked the most popular courtesan.

In Bian Jing, there is a saying that "a man becomes famous through poetry and lyrics, and becomes famous through the beauty's hairpins."

The unveiling of the opening poem is usually arranged after the second courtesan comes on stage. This is a long-standing rule of the banquet for beauties.

Jia Yu had already sat down at the table. He pulled out a piece of rice paper, dipped his brush in ink, and slowly wrote his poem: "Don't laugh at women being inferior to men. Women are as good as men. Pretty girls are as good as men, and pretty girls are as virtuous as men."

Li Xiangjun glanced at the poems written by Jia Yu and the other two, and did not think they were particularly outstanding. Instead, she felt that they were a bit clichéd and lacked novelty.

I'm afraid that such poems would not win the heart of the courtesan.

Jia Yu and the other two had already finished their poems. They blew dry the ink and handed their works to the emcee who came over.

Zhang Yuanlai is full of passion for writing poetry. After all, as a man of letters, he naturally has a passion for this elegant pursuit.

however!
But he felt a little different at this moment, and couldn't help but look tentatively at Feng Yaya beside him.

He was worried that writing poems to a woman would annoy Feng Yaya.

Feng Yaya saw what Zhang Yuanlai was thinking, "Zhang Lang, just relax and write poetry. How could Yaya not have such a broad mind?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yuanlai felt a warm feeling in his heart. He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently hug Feng Yaya's waist.

Feng Yaya blushed slightly at Zhang Yuanlai's sudden action. She whispered, "We're outside, Zhang Lang."

Zhang Yuanlai then realized his mistake and quickly let go.

Li Xiangjun walked in gracefully and looked at the young man who was sitting on a chair with his sleeves hanging down, revealing his white arms, and supporting his head with one hand.

Seems somewhat relaxed and contented.

She slowly said, "Master Guan, why don't you write a poem?"

Zhang Yuanlai also smiled and said, "It's better to join in the fun than to watch the young master."

Jia Yu also looked over. Just now, the three of them looked down on Xie Guan's poems and thought that the previous fragments of poems were just accidental.

I would like to see what Xie Guan is capable of.

Just as Yu Ke was about to speak.

The huge cauldron reflected in the sea of ​​heart was struck.

【Faced with this matter, you decide...】
