Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 8 Play is fun, have fun is fun, but don’t take pictures in the brothel

into the night.

Zhou Ping came to the escort agency.

"Wow, the world is so big, I can see it all in seven days."

Uncle Lame teased.

"With such a small purse, I can't go anywhere."

Zhou Ping blushed and replied.

Uncle Lame was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Or short distance?"

"Yes."

"Okay, we'll escort as normal tomorrow."

"clear."

After Zhou Ping received the task, he was ready to leave. On the way, he met Scar and Chen Erdan. The two men wanted to invite Zhou Ping to go to the brothel to listen to music, and Zhou Ping agreed.

"I see that you are full of energy and vitality. Can you feel the spiritual energy already?"

Zhou Ping was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Uncle Lame could see that he could feel the spiritual energy.

"Yes, Uncle Lame, I could just feel the spiritual energy a few days ago."

Zhou Ping did not say that he had already achieved spiritual perfection.

Uncle Lame nodded slightly.

"By the way, I'm going to catch ghosts tomorrow, you can come with me then."

Uncle Lame continued.

Catching ghosts? Zhou Ping was a little hesitant.

Zhou Ping is still a little afraid of ghosts.

The unknown is the biggest fear!

However, Zhou Ping also understood that Uncle Bo asked Zhou Ping to follow him not to harm him, but to help this younger generation. He could learn a lot by following Uncle Bo.

"Don't worry, it's just a little ghost. Besides, there are more than one person from the escort agency. Including you, there are a total of nine strong young men!"

Uncle Lame said this and then thought about it.

"It's a female ghost."

As if afraid that Zhou Ping would not agree, Uncle Lame added another sentence.

"Uncle Lame, it doesn't matter whether she is a female ghost or not. What matters is that I can learn something from you."

"Hahaha, you kid, you're a talker."

At the entrance of the brothel.

"Scar, how do you feel the spiritual energy? Teach me, I can't feel anything yet."

Chen Erdan looked at Scar with envy.

Scar could already sense the spiritual energy, but Chen Erdan felt nothing.

"Zhanzhuang!"

"Standing?"

"Yes, I have taught you a long time ago, it's just standing still!"

"I do not believe!"

"I can't help it."

Scar was telling the truth, he did feel the spiritual energy through standing still.

Chen Erdan and Scar Zhou Ping were practicing standing meditation together, but Chen Erdan couldn't stand the pain of it and he worked for three days and rested for two days, while Scar Zhou Ping persisted.

Scar did not have the opportunity that Zhou Ping had, but he also relied on his perseverance and after four or five years he finally felt the spiritual energy.

"You and Zhou Ping need to work hard. I'm already far ahead. You won't see me in a few years."

Scar said proudly.

"You're far ahead. Congratulations to Scar."

Zhou Ping appeared behind Scar.

"You kid, you're finally willing to come out and accompany us. It's been two years since you were injured."

Scar said as he threw a little fist of friendship.

"Snapped."

With a slight sound, Zhou Ping blocked Scar with his palm.

Scar was slightly startled.

Just now, Scar punched Chen Erdan, and Chen Erdan felt stuffy in the chest for a long time.

Although the force was reduced this time, Scar's hand skills were very fast.

Zhou Ping actually blocked it easily with his palm.

Scar instantly had the idea of ​​competing and secretly worked harder.

But Zhou Ping's palm did not move at all.

Scar was even more surprised. He had already felt the spiritual energy and absorbed it into his body, which made him much stronger.

Scar himself is a strong man with a strong build. With the addition of spiritual energy, his strength is now even comparable to that of some people with perfect spiritual energy.

Zhou Ping blocked Scar's fist so casually.

"You also feel the spiritual energy?"

Scar asked in surprise.

Zhou Ping was slightly stunned. He didn't expect to be exposed. He had always been very careful and never took the initiative to talk about his cultivation to others.

Zhou Ping blocked Scar's punch just to avoid triggering his passive skill "Telepathic Finger".

If Zhou Ping couldn't block Scar's punch, it would likely trigger Lingxi Finger and waste a year of his life.

"I was lucky enough to feel the spiritual energy yesterday, but it's still far inferior to you."

Zhou Ping laughed and turned a blind eye.

Chen Erdan's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy. He thought Zhou Ping was still with him, but he didn't expect Zhou Ping to be able to feel the spiritual energy as well.

Chen Erdan is feeling very disappointed now.

When they first joined the escort agency, the three of them were led by Chen Erdan.

Chen Erdan's elder brother works in the yamen, and he is also quite active. Zhou Ping and Daoba are far inferior to him.

But now, Zhou Ping and Scar can already feel the spiritual energy, which makes Chen Erdan feel very uncomfortable.

"Come on, let's drink and listen to music. If you go too late, there will be no seats left."

Chen Erdan greeted the two people with some annoyance and walked into the brothel first.

The brothels in Qinghe County were on the same street as the Qinghe County Government, Herentang, and Yanjia Escort Agency, occupying a prime location.

It can also be said that it is because of these four stores that this street has a prime location.

Brothels are legal here and are semi-official.

"Hey, some gentlemen are here."

Several scantily clad women brought Zhou Ping and several others into the Jiaofangsi.

"Excuse me, are we going to sit in the lobby or in a private room?"

The woman holding Scar also had good eyesight. Among Zhou Ping and the other two, Scar looked like the one in charge.

"Hey, of course it's the lobby. The private rooms are so cramped."

Scar said cheerfully.

The woman who was holding Scar had her breasts pressed tightly against his arms. After hearing Scar's words, the displeasure on her face was very obvious. She then let go of Scar's hands and went to the door to greet the guests.

The three people were not surprised and walked to the brothel and found a seat to sit down.

The brothel is divided into front and back yards, and two floors.

The lower floor has some scattered seats, and the second floor is the private rooms.

The front yard of the brothel was mainly used for performances, such as playing musical instruments, singing and dancing.

As for the backyard of the brothel, it was a place for playing poker.

Zhou Ping and his companions were naturally reluctant to spend money in the private room.

The front yard of the brothel was actually a stage, with seats scattered below the stage.

In theory, there is no charge for seating in a brothel, but you do need to buy a fruit plate.

"Hey, please take a seat, thirty coppers each."

The three of them arrived early and took the first row. After paying the money, three plates of dates were brought to them shortly afterwards.

There were ten red dates on the plate, not very big.

"Pah, the things here are so expensive!"

"Yes, with thirty big bucks, I can buy two baskets of red dates."

Scar and Chen Erdan complained while taking out peanuts and melon seeds from their pockets and placed them on the three people's plates.

Zhou Ping didn't make any preparations in advance because he met the two people by chance.

You are not allowed to bring your own alcohol into the brothel, but guys like Zhou Ping don't care about that.

The show begins.

The performances in the brothels included beautiful women dancing, old men playing music, and small plays.

Most of the customers in the brothels are men, so the most popular ones are the dancing girls who wear little and move vigorously. "In my previous life, thanks to Mr. Johnny, I got a glimpse into the ways of the upper class."

"I never thought I'd have the chance to listen to music in a brothel in this lifetime. I have to say, the live performance was much better than the recorded one."

Zhou Ping sighed.

Scar and Chen Erdan's attention were completely attracted by the young lady in the brothel.

“It’s still working!”

Zhou Ping said softly, but Scar and Chen Erdan beside him didn't notice what Zhou Ping said at all.

This is the method of "borrowing the spiritual power from heaven".

After Zhou Ping obtained this skill, he practiced hard for four days and achieved some success.

By using the Heavenly Spirit Method, one can draw spiritual power from plants, mountains and rocks.

This spell is less man-eating than the original Sky-Devouring Spirit Spell, but the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is much slower. However, there is no need to worry about turning into a monster.

At this time, Zhou Ping radiated the spiritual energy from his body.

"More than three meters, this is the farthest distance I can sense right now."

"If I disperse my spirit, it will consume a quarter of my spiritual power."

Zhou Ping spread his spiritual energy around and obtained a space of more than three meters with himself as the center. In this space, Zhou Ping could feel everything.

This magic technique consumes Zhou Ping's spiritual energy.

However, Zhou Ping was not worried about the consumption of spiritual energy.

By using the Tianling method, one cultivates the Dao of Alchemy, which can form an inner elixir like a demon elixir in the dantian of a person. This inner elixir can store spiritual energy.

As Zhou Ping's cultivation level increases, the inner elixir will store more spiritual energy.

At this time, there was a small, narrow and illusory inner elixir light and shadow in Zhou Ping's dantian.

This is Zhou Ping’s “inner elixir”, which contains almost three times the spiritual energy of Zhou Ping at the level of perfect spiritual energy.

Zhou Ping's mind moved, and the spiritual energy of his inner elixir flowed throughout his body.

In just a moment, Zhou Ping's missing spiritual energy was replenished.

"Hey, this is it?"

Zhou Ping's perception covered a distance of three meters around him, and also covered the guests sitting around.

A scholar-looking man was sitting alone in a corner with a drawing board in front of him.

The scholar is painting furiously.

"What a fast hand speed."

After a while, a lifelike portrait appeared in the scholar's hands.

This painting includes dancing beauties and guests in a brothel.

The guests are all-inclusive and the beauties are lifelike.

The scholar is behind Zhou Ping, so Zhou Ping, Scar and others are also in the scholar's painting.

The scholar’s ​​painting skills are very strong, but you can tell who Zhou Ping, Scar and Chen Erdan are just by looking at their backs.

After the scholar finished painting the group portrait, he turned around and walked out the door, then returned to the brothel.

Zhou Ping didn't care about it. Instead, he listened to the music and felt the method of borrowing the spiritual power from the sky.

After a while, a burly woman rushed into the brothel with her men.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, ninth brother, he is there!"

The nine big men followed the direction of the woman and saw a thin man.

The man was watching with great interest, and from time to time he stretched out his dirty hands to touch the girls in the brothel.

The nine big men grabbed the thin man and carried him away like a chicken.

The thin man was dragged out while shouting:
"Who the hell is it that tipped off that vicious woman of mine? Don't let me catch you, or I'll beat the shit out of you."

Outside the brothel, there were bursts of wailing.

The spectators in the brothel burst into laughter, as if they were no longer surprised by such things.

Zhou Ping grinned and looked at the scholar, who looked very proud.

"Brother, this is a bit against the rules. You can have fun and have fun, but don't take pictures in the brothel."

The second night.

After completing the escort mission during the day, Zhou Ping had to go with Uncle Lame to catch a female ghost at night as requested by Uncle Lame.

In the escort agency, Uncle Lame was checking the number of people.

"Nine people, that's enough, let's go."

Uncle Bo led the team out.

Zhou Ping looked at the nine people, all of them were veterans, Scar was among them.

"Zhou Ping, you are here too?"

Scar was a little surprised. For this ghost hunting mission, Uncle Cripple had chosen people who could sense spiritual energy, were often on missions, and were relatively capable.

"If you can come, why can't I? Didn't Erdan come?"

Zhou Ping asked.

"He wanted to come, but Uncle Lame looked down on him."

"Don't you see who is here today?"

"Those few are all at the peak of their spiritual energy. They are also experts who have killed many people. The weakest are you and me."

Scar often escorts goods, and especially after he felt the spiritual energy, he became the key training target of the escort agency, so he is quite familiar with the affairs of the escort agency.

Nine people followed Uncle Lame.

Uncle Lame did not ride a horse, but walked with a limp.

"It seems that the haunted place is not far from the escort agency."

Zhou Ping guessed in his heart.

"Do you know where to catch ghosts?"

Zhou Ping asked Scar.

Scar looked at Zhou Ping in disbelief.

"You know everything, what are you doing here?"

Scar didn't understand why Uncle Lame brought Zhou Ping here. Zhou Ping might be able to sense the spiritual energy, but Zhou Ping's strength was not outstanding.

Zhou Ping shrugged and didn't answer. Of course I'm here to gain experience and wait for you to lead me.

Uncle Bo brought Zhou Ping here because he thought Zhou Ping was a talkative person, somewhat interesting, and worth training.

"Let me tell you, this house belongs to the He family."

"Mr. He's nephew got into trouble with a female ghost, so Mr. He asked Uncle Lame to help him exorcise the ghost."

Scar said.

"Why did his nephew get into trouble with a female ghost?"

Zhou Ping touched his right arm and then his waist.

Zhou Ping is certain that there are ghosts in this world, but he has never seen any.

Zhou Ping got two treasures from the cave, one was a cassock and the other was a pair of Buddhist beads.

Buddhist beads are from the Bodhi tree next to the Buddha when he attained enlightenment, and are specifically used to ward off evil spirits.

Since Zhou Ping was not a monk and did not want to be ostentatious, he did not hang the Buddhist beads around his neck, but wrapped them around his waist.

As for the cassock, it brought even more surprises to Zhou Ping.

After Zhou Ping dripped his blood on the cassock and recognized it as its owner, the cassock was able to change according to Zhou Ping's mood.

Zhou Ping felt that the cassock was too conspicuous, so it was turned into a red cloak.

Zhou Ping felt that the cloak was too childish, so the cassock turned into a red silk.

The red silk was wrapped around Zhou Ping's arm, serving as a wrist tie.

The cassock is somewhat intelligent and can change according to Zhou Ping's wishes.

The cassock can still fly, but it cannot carry Zhou Ping. It can only fly with lighter objects.

The distance Zhou Ping can control the cassock is twenty feet.

After more than twenty feet, Zhou Ping could no longer control the robe.

These two things give Zhou Ping the confidence to join in the fun tonight.

Uncle Lame asked Zhou Ping to catch ghosts just to broaden his horizons, not to catch ghosts.

Zhou Ping knew that Uncle Lame had the confidence to protect him, but he also needed something to save his life. If he couldn't help, he couldn't just keep giving himself away.

"It is said that the woman insisted on marrying him and pestered him. Mr. He's nephew disagreed, and the woman threatened to die. In the end, she really died and turned into a fierce ghost."

Zhou Ping was a little skeptical of Scar's explanation.

Threatening to die? Even if he turned into a ghost, he would not let Mr. He's nephew go?

"Zhou Ping, look at the beauty."

While Zhou Ping was thinking, Scar reminded him with his elbow.

Not far away, two women were talking to Uncle Lame.

A woman with a slim figure, long hair, a willow-like waist and bright eyes.

A woman, with a plump body and curves in all the right places, fat where fat, thin where thin. She looked very dignified and virtuous, but the tear mark between her eyebrows made her look extremely attractive.
