Chapter 405: Peony Beauty
Luo Kui raised her eyebrows: "It depends on you, I can't beat you anymore."
"Okay, it's easy to do with you. Okay, go to bed quickly. It's almost dawn. I think you will definitely not be able to eat breakfast. Let's keep it with lunch." Su Zi smiled, stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of Luo Kui's quilt, put down the curtain, turned off a few more lamps before closing the door and leaving.
The bloody case of the Chamel Tower spread throughout Xunyang City early in the morning. Although all the cultivators died, the methods of aftermath were completely different. The lives of the cultivators of the casual cultivators never told fortunes, and they would die if they died. No one asked for explanations. However, the cultivators of the master sect behind them were different. Even if the death was the most inconspicuous disciple, someone would come to ask for explanations, either insulting or threatening, or making trouble or rolling around. There would always be some benefits.
From morning to dawn, all the sects were accustomed to being slaughtered and sects who were accustomed to being slaughtered and wise, and they were beaten to the front of the Camellia Tower. Thousands of people were spectacular, surrounded the building, and they all had noisy faces and thick necks. They forced the Camellia Tower to give an explanation, forcing the shopkeeper to hit the wall and commit suicide, but his life could not resist so many lives, and death would be in vain.
This incident was too big. The boss of the Chalchua Building did not show up and it was unlikely that it would be good. Everyone spent the morning to noon. Finally, when the shopkeeper of the Chalchua Building came out again, he nodded and bowed with a smile, saying that the boss had arrived in person, and invited people from various sects to enter the building, identify the bodies, and discuss the aftermath.
Then, the venue was cleared outside the Camellia Building, and no idle people were allowed to approach. After about half an hour, a servant ran in and out of the hall, lifted the unclaimed corpses out of the cart, piled up very high on the cart, and took them to the field outside the city to burn it.
From noon to midnight, the disciples of various sects walked out of the Camellia Tower one after another. They all looked happy and satisfied. They were indeed returning home with a full load. If it weren't for the carriages and horses that were transporting their bodies behind them, they would have mistakenly thought that these people had encountered something happy, and they laughed so happily, and their back teeth were exposed.
A man dressed as a disciple of the Holy Demon Sect came out of the Camellia Building, walked through the streets and alleys, turned seventeen or eighteen corners, changed his clothes, and flipped through the back window of "Remembering the Old House" and just ran into Su Zi.
Su Zi covered her stomach and shook her eyes and said "Ouch": "Is this window passed down from our family? How can everyone know it?"
The man hurriedly lowered his head and eyebrows, and bowed respectfully: "Grand Master."
Seeing the man's serious and serious look, Su Zi felt bored and curled his lips, and had to say seriously: "If you see everything clearly, then just say it."
The man waved his hand, and a stone left behind broke through the air and fell into Su Zi's hand. Then a figure slowly emerged from the stone. The man's face was young, looking only twenty-seven or eight years old, but his hair was as white as snow, with a faint silver light. What's even more strange is that there was a little golden ripples in the person's eyes, which made him feel dizzy.
"This is the person behind the scenes of the Camellia Building." Su Zi carefully looked at it and engraved the person's appearance in his mind. Although it was just a faint phantom, he could still feel the power of deterrence. These four buildings really have extraordinary origins, and the person behind the scenes is indeed a ghost.
The man nodded: "Yes, today's discussion on the blood sacrifice of the Camellia Tower is all the things that this person makes."
"In addition to this portrait, have you noticed what's next?" Su Zi said with a glance.
The man pursed his lips and shook his head slightly with doubts: "Although I didn't notice the person next to me, I always feel that this person is not like a human race."
Su Zi frowned slightly and looked at the figure again: "Indeed, looking at this way, it does look a bit like a demon clan." He waved his hand: "You are now in the Holy Demon Sect, so it's not easy to stay here for a long time. Go back quickly. I will arrange for others to investigate this person's identity, so you don't have to follow him anymore."
The man should have claimed that he gave a gift again, and then flipped through the window neatly.
Su Zi reached out and gently brushed the figure, muttering to himself: "The person behind the scenes on the fourth floor of Peony Lotus Narcissus Camellia is the same person. This person in charge of such a mysterious four buildings is like a demon clan. This person should not be underestimated. He should indeed check it carefully."
The blood sacrifice of the Camellia Tower, which had countless immortal cultivators, gradually calmed down under the deliberate cover of the people behind the Camellia Tower and various sects. In the middle of the night in front of the four buildings, the market that stretched for two miles began to be bustling again, and the crowds were surging.
The half month before and after the Grain Rain is the few days when the rain is the least rainy day in Xunyang City. During this half month, peony flowers everywhere in the city bloom in full bloom, and the colorful flower cups are densely connected together, like a group of gorgeous and dazzling brocades, spreading from the city to outside the city, in the breeze and sunshine, wandering among the sea of flowers, the fragrance of flowers is pleasant and full of beauty.
The old custom of Xunyang City, three days before the Grain Rain, a grand sky fragrance meeting will be held in the city, enjoying all kinds of peonies during the day, and watching the gorgeous lanterns at night, which will be lively until midnight.
In addition to enjoying peonies and watching lanterns, the day of the Tianxiang Festival is also a big day for big girls and young men to look at each other. On this day, girls and young men will do their best to dress up beautifully and prevent themselves from losing face in front of their beloved.
After breakfast, Luo Kui covered her mouth and yawned. This place was more idle than Qingzhou City. She was about to sleep again, but Su Zi sternly pulled it up and asked her to pretend to be a little maid and accompany her to enjoy the flowers and lanterns, and have fun last time.
Luo Kui twisted her body, reluctantly muttering, "I won't go, there are all beautiful girls at Tianxiang's meeting. I'm so ashamed to death when I went to see it. If I don't go, I'll have to sleep."
"There is also a handsome guy, don't you go?" Su Zi jokingly.
Luo Kui shook her head and shook her head firmly: "Don't go."
Su Zi smiled mysteriously: "If you really don't go, don't regret it."
Luo Kui was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly: "Who are you going to have a trap for?"
Su Zi pretended to be confused and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Put it down, what kind of condom is it? Look down on me. Have I always been such a despicable person?"
Luo Kui smiled slightly and nodded heavily.
Su Zi sneered his eyes and said: "The old custom of Xunyang City, the Peony Flower Kings will be selected at the Tianxiang Conference every year, and three peony beauties will be selected every three years." He smiled mysteriously: "I heard that the method of selecting beauty is particularly novel, and the beauties selected are even more beautiful. People are more beautiful than flowers. They have always been ladies who are scrambling to marry in the powerful and wealthy people in the South Qi Kingdom. This selection of peony beauties was planned by the person behind the Four Buildings. This year, it's time to choose again."
These words came to an abrupt end, half of them were hidden, but Luo Kui understood them and bent her eyebrows and smiled, "Okay, then I will accompany you for a while and see what kind of beauty the selected ones are."
Su Zi sucked her hands and laughed: "That's right. You can also learn from the same thing and learn half of the beauty."
Luo Kui turned her head and snorted, allowing Su Zi to dress her up. In the end, she put a thin mask on her face and changed her face to another girl in a flash. She was wearing a long magnolia green embroidered hydrangea cross-collared dress, revealing a piece of onion yellow pleated skirt. Luo Kui in the mirror all had her eyebrows and eyes, and her smile was a gentle girl who was completely different from before.
She turned her eyes to look at Su Zi, and saw that he also put an equally thin mask on his face. He instantly turned into a round-faced man with a round face, round eyes, round nose and head, and looked very funny.
There are many varieties of peony in Xunyang City, including Erqiao, Zhao Fan, etc. The selected peony beauties are also named after the peony name. One is Wei Zi Beauty, the second is Yao Huang Beauty, and the third is Ou Bi Beauty.
Since ancient times, beauty selections are nothing more than talent and appearance. From the face, eyebrows, eyes, lips, teeth, hair, skin, and body, all of which are fine. Even hands and feet have extremely detailed requirements. As for talent, they are compared to piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs and essays.
It is not so easy to choose a peony beauty. In addition to the talent and appearance, it also depends on whether it is in harmony with the three Peony Flower Kings selected at the same time. If it is not in harmony, it is useless even if it is overwhelming.
Xunyang City is full of water. A river several meters wide flows down from the mountains to the west, winding through the city, and finally gathers into the endless rivers outside the west of the city.
This river divides the city into the south city and the north city. Innumerable bridges are built in the city to connect the south city and the north city, and boats are also very convenient to travel.
The most magnificent thing on the river is the Jade Belt Rainbow Bridge. This rainbow bridge has been stormy for thousands of years without falling. It is said that it was built by a person of great origin and has spent a lot of money and great efforts.
For thousands of years, no matter how vicissitudes and great changes in the city, the two ends of the Yudai Hongqiao Bridge have always been the most prosperous place in the city. This end of the bridge is a long wind and rain corridor, with tables and chairs placed along the railings. People will eat tea, listen to music and chat here in their spare time.
The other end of the river is half on the shore and half on the huge platform floating on the river surface. It is decorated in a magnificent and luxurious manner. On weekdays, the piano sounds, melodious tunes, and good singing and dancing, which attracts passers-by to stop frequently.
Today, I chose the Three A and Peony Beauty on this high platform. Pots of peony flowers filled the outside of the platform. I chose the Flower King elsewhere, and I chose the Flower King from the blooming flowers. However, the Flower King from Xunyang City was served, but the peony that was about to bloom were all in bud. This is really amazing.
Su Zi stood on the riverside, his eyes not falling on the beautiful peony flowers at all. He only watched the graceful girls walking across the rainbow bridge and walking up the platform floating on the river. He smiled and said, "Look at me, look at you, aren't you ashamed?"
Luo Kui held a pack of melon seeds, and she was sizzling. She had no time to argue with Su Zi. She just smiled and looked at the colorful peony shadows reflected in the water.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that you can play the pipa." Luo Kui didn't even argue with him. Su Zi turned his head in surprise and looked at her and smiled.
Luo Kui continued to eat melon seeds, stuffed the melon seed shell into Su Zi's hand, and hummed casually: "So what's wrong."
"As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son? Otherwise, you can go up and choose and explore the bottom of these people." Su Zi said with a temptation.
Luo Kui was not fooled, but just smiled: "You are going to find out the truth, it's not me. I want to choose you. You dressed up as a girl, but you are much more beautiful than me."
"But I can't play the pipa." Su Zi raised his eyebrows.
"You will be a shame, oh, no, you are playing swordsmanship." Luo Kui ridiculed.
Su Zi shook her head: "I'm afraid to scare them."
Luo Kui calmed down for a moment, and when the wind was wrong, he swept a sky-blue figure on the main seat of the high platform, which looked particularly familiar.
