As night falls, the stars light up from the Rouge River. In the center of the river, the flower boats with colorful flowers and dim lights gradually dock at the shore, welcoming guests to have fun on board.

Of course, there are limited shipping spaces on the river. Those business districts where dignitaries, celebrities and elegant people gather, and the wharves with the best passenger flow, will of course be given over to Huage, which ranked highest and was the most prestigious in the previous Oiran election.

In fact, if King Lu hadn't chartered the boat for the banquet in advance, the flower boat fleet would have been led by the "Hualong" boat every night. A flower boat was like a long dragon, swimming down Yanzhi Pu in a mighty way.

Go out to the Li River to admire the moon, and then turn around and come back in the early morning. This is the most famous nightlife in Xingye, "Flower Dragon Tour".

Now it is getting late, and the crowds on both sides of the strait have gathered. The idlers and tourists who come here to join in the fun have gathered on both sides of the strait. There are also many passenger ships and small boats following the fleet, and from time to time, they take the drinkers to the building to enjoy the flowers.

And among this fleet of ships that were dyed prosperous and full of youth, there was a ghost ship with a red lantern hanging among them.

From time to time, this ghost ship would stop and go, picking up some guests from the river. Most of these people were scholars who came to study in the four major academies of the Sunda Kingdom. They included locals from poor families, as well as outsiders fleeing the war in the Central Plains.

But at a glance, it's easy to see what they have in common.

First, they are very poor and have no money in their hands, so they can only live with eye addiction. Second, they are all young and young and energetic, and they have only experienced eye addiction. Third, they are all scholars and have no power to tie a chicken.

Those who claim to be noble and righteous and talk about courtesy and shame only dare to live a life of addiction.

As soon as the ghost boat stopped at the shore and the bright red lanterns shone, all the poor scholars on the shore were shocked. Literally, they felt like ghosts were possessed. They got on the boat with smiles on their faces and entered the Peony Pavilion one by one.

, his head and face were all flushed red by the lamp, and he fell into the illusion of bliss and joy, and he couldn't stop.

Li Fan stood aside with big eyes and small eyes, looking at the poor scholars who got on the boat speechlessly. They walked to the box one by one, and then started playing with guns.

What a ghost...that's it? Where's the ghost?

No, if you seduce these poor scholars on board and suck their yang energy, then you can at least bring two female ghosts to life, right? The man's yang energy has been vented to you, and you can also let some serious people come to give you some sweetness.

Right? Oh! After working on it for a long time, you still ask them to solve it by themselves? This is too much! Bad review!

Li Fan rubbed his brows. Well, at least he watched the ghost ship's operations and routines to catch people. He took out the Bagua Mirror and looked here and there. He also pinched his fingers and did calculations. He almost figured it out.

No wonder he didn't see the problem at first. Because there was actually nothing wrong with the ship itself. At most, the lanterns outside had some enchanting illusion magic circles, but they were ineffective against Gu Guan, so they were not fascinated by Li Fan. And before

Encountering such a strange thing, Leng Buding's mood dropped a little, and Li Fan could still be alert. But now that Guixu Nascent Soul has been cultivated, his mood has increased, and to be honest, he was in a good mood while admiring the oiran.

, I didn’t notice anything wrong.

In short, strictly speaking, it is not quite right to call the Peony Pavilion ship a ghost ship, because there are indeed no ghosts on board.

Ghosts, generally speaking, are helpless souls. Under the rules of this Tai Chi world, they cannot exist independently.

Unless you have reached the level of Nascent Soul to entrust your soul, or you have obtained a magic weapon similar to the Zen Yi at the golden elixir level, no matter who you are or how much resentment and obsession you have, after seven days, you will be reincarnated and disappear. There is no physical body.

It is not impossible to tolerate it and want to survive in the world only by relying on the soul, but it requires setting up a very complicated formation and relying on stable heaven and earth spiritual veins to maintain mana.

Rouge Pu is a place where people come and go. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden waterway, but to say that it is the spiritual vein of cultivating immortals is a bit nonsense. After all, it is also under the nose of Xun Kingdom, how could it be like that?

There are so many innocent ghosts who are so arrogant that they can abduct scholars and squeeze their yang energy without attracting attention?

So what is causing trouble in the dark is not a 'ghost', but a human being, or at least, someone who is about to become a 'human being'.

Li Fan took out the Bagua Mirror, traced the direction of the Yang Qi that was sucked out of the scholars, and found the top of the Peony Pavilion, which was probably the boudoir that originally belonged to the courtesan.

Of course, it was still empty and there were no ghosts. But after taking out Si Nan and taking a look, Li Fan still found the culprit.

It should be the box on the bed.

This looks like a jewelry box, similar to the ladder cage used to hold gold cakes, but it is larger. It is made of rosewood and must be old. It has seven layers up and down. There are gold ornaments on the corners. The flower carvings are large groups of peonies with gold paste.

They are two butterflies flying together.

The Yang Qi of the entire ship is being continuously sucked into the treasure box.

It must be this ‘thing’.

'Objects' are different from people. Although this treasure chest has not yet been formed, it is probably very high-level, and it may be able to transform into a god. Otherwise, it should have been given to the monks of the Xun Kingdom long ago.

All things have spirits, and it is a rare opportunity for this fellow Taoist to reveal his true form to meet him. Li Fan thought about it and felt that he should not ruin the harmony by coming up, and it was better to be polite first and then fight.

So he also took out his statue of Zuntian Demon, bowed in front of the treasure chest, sat cross-legged on the spot, his soul left his body, and took the initiative to escape into the illusion.

When he opened his eyes again, Li Fan found that he was standing on the shore, still in the "Hualongyou", but this Peony Pavilion was the first dragon head of the Hualong and was coming with the waves.

The 28-year-old beauty standing on the top of the flower boat should be the flower dragon of this year.

Emerald gold necklace, Yao hairpin and precious ear, splendid flower skirt, Luan belt embroidered shoes. The whole body is elegant and fragrant, the two curved eyebrows are painted with distant mountains, and the pair of eyes are bright and moist with autumn water. The face is like a lotus calyx, clear and outstanding.

Shi Wenjun's lips are like cherries, why should he be reduced to Bai Jiafansu?

It is truly an alluring national beauty and a peerless beauty.

Teacher Li Fan gave this person a score of ninety-six and couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "It's a pity that a piece of flawless jade accidentally fell into the wind and dust."

"That's what fellow Taoist said."

Li Fan turned his head and saw a young girl standing behind him. Her eyebrows were exactly the same as the maid he had just seen standing behind the oiran. She was wearing red clothes with a peony embroidered on her head and two buns on her head.

The two golden butterflies, just like the accessories on the box, are probably the 'taoist friends' that made the demon.

"My young lady was the oiran of the Peony Pavilion during her lifetime, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. From the time she came to the pavilion at the age of thirteen, she was the 'Flower Dragon' on Canglong Pu. Unfortunately, in the end, she could not escape the wrong payment from the beautiful woman, and the pearls and jade were invested in the blind man.

All kinds of kindness will turn into running water, which is a pity."

Li Fan touched his beard and realized that the soul was bare-faced, so he coughed, "Is it possible that fellow Taoist monks are angry at those scholars because of the old master's affairs?"

The treasure chest maid sneered, "Yes, these scholars talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they are actually people who forget their righteousness. If they really studied hard, they would not come to Rouge Pu to board my ship. It's just that

Those who are addicted to pleasure and covet wealth are eager to get in. What they want is just a night of leisure. Such scum should die as soon as possible. If they really become officials, they are just worms that oppress good people.

That’s all.”

Li Fan choked her with embarrassment, "This is a bit biased. Love between men and women is also the path of complementing yin and yang. It is human nature to reproduce and reproduce. It is not a good thing to be too depressed and get sick. Fellow Taoist, give me some advice.

This is just a lesson to them, so why do they need to do something so cruel and cost people their lives?"

The treasure chest maid laughed and said, "It's wrong to say that, fellow Taoist. I don't care that they are here. They can come and go on this boat whenever they want. It's just that they can't bear their lust and refuse to get out. Even if I take them

I threw them all out, and the next day I thought I had an affair and was appreciated by a beautiful woman, and I couldn't stop it more and more, and even formed a gang to come here because of the reputation."

Li Fan couldn't help but frown. Indeed, there was only an illusion array on this ship, and there was no way to seal it, but the other party was a bit unreasonable. After all, the realm of this box was so high, how could a mere mortal break through the difference between dreams and reality?

What about coming out?

This would be fine if they were practitioners who were born in the world, but for these scholars who have cultivated themselves in the world, if they are asked to see through the worldly things, wouldn't it mean that they would deviate from the Taoism and become monks and Taoists instead of being Confucian scholars? What's more, if you really want to kill others with sex,

How many men can be left?

So Li Fan smiled and persuaded, "Ahem, it's just that the cultivation level of fellow Taoist is too high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to wake up. Why don't you change your practice? It's been so many years, and your lady's resentment should be over.

Is it gone?

Just think that these scholars are ignorant, just treat them like farts and let them go."

The treasure chest maid looked at Li Fan, "Do you want to deal with me, fellow Taoist?"

Li Fan still smiled and said, "After all, you have harmed a lot of people. I will give you one night to clean up and leave Yanzhipu. If you let me catch you and harm others, I will destroy your soul and smash your box to use as firewood."

."

The treasure chest maid and Li Fan looked at each other for a while, shrugged, "Do you think anyone wants to stay in this damn place, but didn't you see that, I am a chest, and I did not arrange this formation. I am also waiting for someone.

."

"Waiting for someone?"

"Here, wait for him."

Li Fan frowned and looked where the other person pointed, and saw that Yang Sian was also there. He was reading in the Wangjiang Pavilion by the river, using the light of Hualongyou to illuminate the day, but he didn't even raise his head to look.

The cruise ships passing by one after another and the beauties on them.

The oiran of the Peony Pavilion seemed to have noticed him. When the flower boat passed by, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the scholar on the shore who was distracted, but Yang Sheng never raised his head to look at her.

Wow, this guy can pretend really well...

"I was originally just an artifact, but later I received enlightenment from the gods and taught them the method of worshiping the moon and transforming people into humans. I also recognized my master in Rouge Pu and other destined people. As long as he can pass the test of this illusion, I will worship him as my master and protect him for the rest of my life.

If you are rich and noble in the world, when your life span is over, you can go to the Immortal Cave to become a disciple and practice the great way."

The treasure chest maid also sat down on the stone steps, dragging her cheeks and looking at the prosperity in the Rouge River.

Li Fan couldn't help but frown, "How do you know he is destined?"

"My guess is that in fact, every scholar who gets on the ship will enter this fantasy world and accept the test of the gods. It's just that they are all fake scholars, addicted to women, and none of them can get out. I see now,

Only this Yang Sheng is a real scholar, so he has the greatest chance of breaking the formation." The maid glanced at Li Fan and said, "Fellow Taoist, you know him, right? It was almost done last time, but fellow Taoist broke in to help him.

Interrupted. Please don't do bad things this time. The results will come later, and it won't be too late to fight again."

Li Fan saw that the scene in front of him was changing rapidly and knew that the maid was speeding up. He was not in a hurry to take action. He glanced at her sideways and said, "What kind of trial is this?"

"It's nothing. You've seen it. It's just my young lady's experience back then. My young lady once got married to a scholar and ransomed herself to marry him. She also used her own personal wealth to help him get a good name. But the scholar refused to work hard.

That's all. He was so greedy for petty profits that he sold the young lady to the prince of the Xun Kingdom as a slave for a mere daughter. The young lady was so heartbroken that she drowned herself in the river with her arms around me, and died with hatred. This matter has always been in my heart.

Obsession.

Therefore, the master who enlightened me set up this situation. As long as other scholars can break through the disaster and change the fate of the young lady, I can also get rid of the obsession in my heart, gain enlightenment and cultivate human form. I have only been on the river for ten years.

, there is no one who can break the tribulation, until today."

Li Fan couldn't help complaining, "...I seem to have heard this about you somewhere. Is your lady's surname Du?"
