Chapter 587 A Chance Encounter Amidst the Golden Autumn Breeze and Jade Dew (Part 2)
The Jinfeng Yulu Tower is located not far from the Qinhuai River, but it is not in a bustling area of ​​Jiankang City.

After all, such a place is somewhat immoral, and apart from truly righteous heroes, those who come here always have to cover up their actions in some way.

As the sages said, "Avoid prostitution in the distance and gambling nearby," which illustrates this point.

Su Che naturally wouldn't go there in a ostentatious manner. He simply changed into a brocade robe that merchants were used to wearing, put on a black gauze hat, and then walked unsteadily toward the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion.

The principles of things in the world are actually similar. If you want to do good business, you need a clustering effect.

If a restaurant serves delicious food, opening a single restaurant won't be enough; it needs to have a wide variety of cuisines from all over the country and from all over the world to make the business thrive.

This principle applies to everything, including meat.

The area around the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion is where these courtesans linger and where beautiful women beckon.

Wearing this outfit, Su Che realized that everyone around him was a fellow traveler with the same goal.

One person says a girl is exquisite, another says a woman from another place is alluring; they all ultimately boil down to the basic human needs of food, sex, and the five flavors of life.

Since he was already wholeheartedly pursuing the Dao, Su Che, while not completely abandoning these romantic notions, was somewhat indifferent to them.

As I walked along, I overheard someone talking about certain things.

For example, the once-famous Zhu Hua troupe, whose group of courtesans suddenly disappeared, was rumored to be spies sent by the Grand Tutor of the Northern Dynasty. One by one, the heroes, driven by their loyalty to the emperor and their desire to serve their country, decided to capture the female thieves and teach them a lesson.

The renowned Jinfeng Yulu Tower seems to have vanished from the world overnight, and no one can find it.

Strange things are not uncommon in Jiankang City, but this year there have been especially many.

All sorts of news came from the mouths of people on the streets and alleys, and Su Che heard it bit by bit.

This is strange.

Su Che had also met the courtesan named Zhen Ping'er before, and at the time he did not notice anything unusual. Moreover, Zhu Huaban was a guest of Princess Ning'an, so there was definitely no problem.

His sudden disappearance at this critical juncture certainly made Su Che think a lot.

It's really too much of a coincidence. We should arrange for the Imperial Guards to search for their whereabouts.

Su Che continued walking forward.

To be honest, Young Master Su had never actually seen or experienced the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion.

Even if they had seen it, it was all from their predecessors and had nothing to do with their own family.

However, the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion, which ordinary mortals cannot see, was as conspicuous as the sun in Su Che's spiritual perception.

Even with your eyes closed, the aura that seems to emanate from the very source of the Great Dao compels you to look up in awe.

Following his spiritual senses, Su Che finally arrived in front of that aura.

The Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion still vaguely resembles the former brothel, a five-story building with carved beams and painted rafters.

The buildings vaguely resembled the mortal world, but at this moment, a lofty and ethereal aura rose from them, truly transforming this red-light district into a paradise.

Looking at the golden signboard that read "Golden Breeze and Jade Dew," Su Che was momentarily unsure whether he should go in.

I have a feeling that I wore the wrong clothes today and misunderstood the meaning of the Xuandu Palace Master.

"So it was Master Su."

While Su Che was hesitating, someone came over to greet him. When he turned around, he saw a familiar face.

Xue Baizhi, dressed as a man in a simple Taoist robe, her hair casually tied in a bun, and an ancient sword standing on her back, used an illusion to lure the surrounding people aside, and strolled leisurely along. "Xue Baizhi of Yuyang Mountain greets True Man Su..."

"Sigh, we're such good friends, it's too formal to say such things."

Su Che hurriedly went to greet this outstanding disciple of Yuyang Mountain.

"Is the fairy also here for the gathering?"

“Indeed, Xuandu Palace has also invited Yuyang Mountain to the meeting. The Void Rift is related to the safety of all living beings in the world. How can Yuyang Mountain stand aside?”

It has to be your kind of spirit and energy.

It seems that Xuandu Palace has not only invited the major sects of Xuanmen, but also local forces like Yuyang Mountain. The trip to the Blood River Realm in the future will probably be quite impressive.

Su Che didn't exchange many pleasantries with this Fairy Xue. After exchanging greetings, the two walked forward together.

Xue Baizhi carefully pushed open the door of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion and saw a group of female Taoist priests inside. They were all dignified and sat on futons, meditating with their eyes closed.

If Su Che hadn't realized that these female Taoist priests were all old and advanced practitioners who had lost their true Yin, he would have really thought he had stumbled upon some kind of divine abode and had offended a group of diligent female cultivators.

What exactly does this Master Chen from Xuandu Palace mean?
"So it's Su Xiaoyou from Huang Tiandao. This young lady's sword aura subtly blends yin and yang, so she must be a top disciple of Yuyang Mountain."

While Su Che was pondering this, two other people arrived together on the other side.

The first one was handsome and refined, exuding an aura of Daoism. He wore an apricot-yellow Daoist robe and a feathered crown. He was none other than the Xuandu Palace Longevity True Man, whose Daoist name was Puxiang, whom I had met once before in the Huangtian Dao Sect.

Standing next to him was a kind-looking old monk with white hair and beard, but he looked quite robust. This monk, dressed in a moon-white robe, also walked up with a smile.

Su Che hurriedly bowed, thinking to himself, "Why is even the Buddhist sect here?" Meanwhile, Xue Baizhi quickly responded.

"Xue Baizhi of Yuyang Mountain greets Senior."

"They are truly a perfect couple, both talented and beautiful."

The old monk clasped his hands together and smiled slightly: "Master Chen is rather lazy, why didn't you even announce my name?"

With a bitter expression, Chen Puxiang said to the two people in front of him, "This is the Buddha who came from the Western Paradise. His Dharma name is Amoghasiddhi Tathagata. He is the patriarch of the Joyful Meditation Dharma in this world. Don't be surprised. This humble Taoist is currently making a bet with the Buddha."

It was actually this person.

Looking at the kind old monk in front of him, Su Che suddenly felt that he was not alone in his path.

This Amoghasiddhi Buddha is not only a first-rank Buddha in Buddhism, a dignified earth immortal, but also has a very ancient origin, said to have come from the ancient underworld, and has many dealings with the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

When several groups joined forces to kill the unfortunate Narayana, this man was one of the ones who contributed to the effort.

It's just unclear what Puxiang Zhenren was betting on with him, and what his appearance here means.

"Namo Buddha".

This Buddha seemed to have come in an incarnation; he simply put his palms together and smiled.

"Don't listen to what Puxiang is saying, he's about to lose."

"Buddha is merely an incarnation here; how could I possibly lose?"

Puxiang casually waved his sleeve and said, "You guys find a place to sit down. Let's talk about this after I've finished my duel with Buddha."
