Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 126: Yinshan Taoist (Part )

As Niu Shen said this, Niu Tui said, "I met a few other beginners and exchanged some information with them. If you want to enter, there are only two ways."

"One is human incense. If you use human incense as a birthday gift, you can enter the palace."

"Another way is to form our own troupe and go to the Wang residence to perform, or to perform for the so-called guardian gods. I believe that most of the people who come here after hearing the news are also from this path. We can join a troupe and infiltrate with them."

After Niu Tui finished speaking, Xiao Ran thought about it and realized that although these two routes both lead to the Wang Mansion, the treatment after entering is completely different.

Those who bring incense into the house are guests, and the latter are just entertaining the so-called guardian gods.

The difference is huge, and it is even possible that if you make a wrong choice, you will be doomed.

"Brother Niupi, this is the only information we have obtained, and it is all thanks to the connections we have in the Changchun Society."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but look towards Niu Yan. He suddenly became alert, but pretended to be surprised and said, "Changchun Association? So the Changchun Association is here too?"

"Well, two of them are here, both are experienced masters."

Bull's Eye spoke.

"That's it."

Xiao Ran silently observed the expressions of Niu Yan and the other two, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's not choose either of these two options. I have another way to bring you into the Wang Mansion."

"Any other way?"

The three people of Niu Yan were cheered up. They understood very well that the treatment for these two methods of entering Wang Mansion was very different, but they didn't have any good way to deal with the human fragrance for the time being. After all, you can't force it.

Now Xiao Ran actually had another way, which made the three of them surprised and happy.

"What method?" Niu Yan asked impatiently.

"Well, I'll find someone to take us in. But after we get in, we'll have to help her kill someone, so it's very risky. If you're willing, come along. If not, let's not take the risk."

Xiao Ran did not mention the side quest, nor did he say who was to be killed, but let Niu Yan and the others choose.

The three of them looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

Among the three paths at the moment, no one dares to say which one is safer. The third path Xiao Ran mentioned seems to be the simplest, but it is actually the riskiest one. There are too many variables, and it would be troublesome if something goes wrong.

Seeing that the three of them didn't say anything, Xiao Ran said, "How about this, let's go back and think about it carefully. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day after tomorrow, so we'll make a decision tomorrow."

"Well, this is a serious matter, and everyone needs to think about it carefully."

Bull Eyes nodded and said.

After Xiao Ran sent them downstairs, he sat in the room, took out a small notebook, and began to write down everything he knew word for word in the notebook.

[Wang family treasures, noisy monsters, land temples, shrines, human incense, parading gods, and the beginners attracted...]

Unable to sort out his thoughts for a while, Xiao Ran wrote things down as usual, putting them together line by line, like a puzzle, trying to connect the clues together.

When all the scattered clues were listed out to Xiao Ran one by one, Xiao Ran's thoughts suddenly became clear.

“There were rumors about monsters before, but the villagers, fellows, and even the old beggar here have never heard of it, so this matter is only spread outside, which means that someone is deliberately spreading similar rumors outside.

The purpose is to attract these beginners and those outsiders.

who is it?

unknown."

The more Xiao Ran looked at it, the more he felt that this Wang family might be a big scam.

"The land temple, the parade of gods, the incense, the weirdness of this place lies in the inconspicuous land temple."

I saw with my own eyes that God of Land appear and spit out a cloud of black mist. No matter how I looked at it, I didn't feel that this thing was a real God of Land.

According to the guy, this land god was built with funds raised by the Wang family.

In all likelihood, it was probably done intentionally by the Wang family.

At last……

Xiao Ran looked at the four words "Wang Family Treasure" on the notebook, and his eyes gradually became hesitant. Does this thing really exist, or is it just a gimmick to attract outsiders?

Faintly, Xiao Ran seemed to be able to feel that there was a driving force behind these things, and it was more like a conspiracy.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

After closing the notebook, Xiao Ran thought about it carefully and made a decision in his mind.

"We still need to make more preparations."

He immediately turned around, threw Dai Yi's body on the bed, took out the [Evil Embroidery Needle·Trainee] and began to perform deep stitches on Dai Yi's chest.

……

At the same time, at the flower building.

The madam walked into the room carrying a bowl of hot porridge.

"My girl, I heard that you met a wild doctor outside today. Are you feeling unwell?"

"The windows were open wide at night, so I did get a little cold, but don't worry, mom, it's okay."

Hearing what Mo Ju said, the madam quickly closed the window and said, "You too, you should ask Doctor Wen from Renxin Hall to take a look at this matter. How can you just find a random doctor?"

"Mom is right, it's just that we just happened to encounter that situation at that time." Mo Ju picked up the bowl of porridge, put it to her mouth, and savored the flavor of the porridge carefully. She chewed each mouthful carefully in her mouth, and finally swallowed it slowly, as if this was not some ordinary millet porridge, but more like delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

The madam stood by and served carefully. If someone who didn't know saw this, they would probably think that Mo Ju sitting on the couch was more like the owner of this brothel.

"Where's that little girl?"

"Hey, that girl is practicing downstairs."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ju opened the small window in the backyard and looked out. She saw a row of young girls standing in the backyard corridor, ranging from five years old to teenagers.

Everyone held a bowl on their head and stood there motionless.

There was an old lady holding a stick watching nearby. Anyone who dared to move or had the wrong posture would be hit with a stick.

"In our line of work, we rely on youth and looks. Nine out of ten times, a woman's beauty lies in her neck. Only a beautiful neck can make a person beautiful. A person with a short neck and two chins cannot be sold for money, no matter how beautiful her face is."

The old lady’s words of instruction were commonplace.

But Mo Ju found it interesting and turned to look at the madam: "Mom, does this exercise really work?"

"Well, it does work, but it also depends on the person. For example, a natural beauty like you, a natural treasure, doesn't need them to work so hard. But, some things still require some effort."

As the madam spoke, she pulled out a book from her sleeve and handed it over.

I won't mention what's in the book, but the title is the famous folk banned book [The Legend of the White-haired Young Master]

"My girl, take a good look at yourself. If you can really serve the Second Master well, our whole family will be counting on you in the future."

The madam's mouth was almost reaching the back of her head from laughing.

"Okay, I'll take a look later."

"Okay, okay, take a break, take a break."

The madam walked out of the door with a smile on her face. As soon as she left the room, her face was still as happy as a flower. She went downstairs and called the pimps over: "Have you found out?"

"He seems to be a quack doctor. I heard that he was treating patients under a tree in the morning."

After hearing what the pimp said, the madam looked much more relaxed.

"Watch them closely, don't let anything else happen. The death of a daughter is not a big deal, but if you still can't satisfy the Second Master, that would be a big sin."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The old man was smiling.

It’s no wonder that the madam is so worried. After all, Mo Ju was not trained by her family.

It was all just a coincidence.

After much difficulty in training an oiran, she died before she could be sold for a price.

If the madam hadn't found a naturally beautiful woman named Mo Ju among the fleeing women, their brothel would have closed down...

Early the next morning.

Xiao Ran didn't get up. Instead, he lay on the floor and slept until noon before getting up from the bed.

When I went downstairs, Niu Yan and the other three had already left.

Before leaving, he left a message for Xiao Ran and asked the shop assistant to convey it, saying that they were going to the overpass to do business.

In fact, Xiao Ran didn't care where they were going. He had already figured out what to do next last night. It didn't matter even if Niu Yan and the other three didn't go with him.

Just as Xiao Ran was about to go out, the black swan on his chest suddenly started to sound the alarm.

Xiao Ran paused, turned around slowly, and heard a series of footsteps in the attic.

An old man with a crutch, wearing a loose black Taoist robe, walked down the stairs slowly.

Immediately afterwards, two more people walked in from outside the door holding knives.

The two men were like two small mountains of flesh. They stood in front of the door and blocked it completely.

"Oh, my poor old brother. We have been friends for more than ten years. What a pity. What a pity."

The old man behind him walked slowly down the stairs: "And my goddaughter, I started raising her when she was in her teens, for 20 years, and in the end she was bitten by a dog and was unrecognizable."

When Xiao Ran heard this, he knew what was going on.

But before he could make any move, the two mountains of flesh blocking the door suddenly separated to the left and right.

The faint light from outside shone in, and the old man suddenly shook his fingers. Xiao Ran immediately felt as if his whole body was entangled by something.

When I looked back, I saw that the old man seemed to be pinching his own shadow with his fingertips.

With a slight movement of his fingers, Xiao Ran's limbs also began to move along with the old man's fingertips, following the shadow.

"What kind of ability is this??"

Xiao Ran's heart tightened, but at the same time, he quietly held the [Liuguang Eight Treasures Mirror] in his palm without making a sound.

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven black teeth. When he opened his mouth and smiled, a centipede crawled out of his mouth and quickly got into his hair. He stared at Xiao Ran and looked him up and down: "I am a Taoist from Yinshan Mountain. Nice to meet you, Master Buddha..."
