I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 33 Player Number Two
In stock!

Chen Jing's eyes lit up.

The statue in front of us is actually not very valuable; it's like a low-quality physiognomy book.

In the books on physiognomy left by ancient sages, there are many descriptions of people with unusual appearances, such as the wolf-like gaze, which indicates suspicion, wariness, and a strange mind, like a wolf looking back.

Although the description of a person with unusual features is not intuitive and it is impossible to know what the person looks like, it allows a fortune teller to recognize the person with such features at a glance.

If General Tiger Might had an even more ferocious statue, capable of making adults feel terrified even when they were in the same room, then it would be of great value if it captured at least 50-60% of the tiger's essence!
"Guru, gulu!!"

Chen Jingxian took out the loose silver coins from his sleeve and put them all into the donation box in front of the statue.

He turned to the temple keeper, bowed, and asked, "I have offended you! Temple keeper, could you tell me about the deeds of this General Yang Huyang?"

Sure enough, the temple keeper's expression softened considerably. For the sake of money—or rather, merit—he led Chen Jing to the back hall to rest.

He began, “General Yang Huyang originally had no name. He was abandoned in the mountains before he was even a month old. He should have been eaten by jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards, but there was a mother tiger in the mountains who had just lost her cub. She carried him to her den and fed him with her milk.”

"When he grew to be seven or eight years old, General Yang Huyang still did not understand human speech and lived like a wild beast."

"Until a general surnamed Yang went hunting in the mountains and shot him, mistaking him for a wild animal. After discovering that the prey was a person, he took him back to the general's mansion and carefully nursed him back to health. He not only taught him to read and write, but also taught him martial arts on the battlefield. Finally, he adopted him as his son and named him Yang Huyang."

"Yang Huyang joined the army as soon as he came of age, and he killed generals and captured flags until he was named Tiger Might General."

"What a pity! After the war with Tai Sui Kingdom ended, General Huwei was too fierce and arrogant, and ended up being beheaded."

“At that time, the Jinping River was severely flooded, and someone suggested building a temple at the river mouth to suppress the flood. Since General Huwei was a notorious fierce man, it was decided to make his image the deity.”

"The craftsman who sculpted the statue was also a bold man. Because the statue he sculpted lacked spirit, he directly asked for the head of General Huwei and used the uncorrupted head of General Huwei as a model to sculpt the original statue of General Huwei."

Using a human head as a model, it's no wonder that the tiger's appearance could be captured to some extent. Chen Jing quickly asked, "Is the original Tiger General statue still preserved?"

The temple keeper nodded and said, "It was preserved, but it was bought at a high price. If it weren't for the money from selling the statue, the temple might not have been able to be repaired."

Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Could you please provide information about the person who purchased the first Tiger Might General statue? I would like to pay my respects to him."

The temple keeper didn't keep them in suspense and said, "This isn't a secret. It's about Baili Zhi, the most beautiful courtesan at Yixiang Pavilion."

A courtesan? Why would a courtesan buy a statue of a general? Could it be that she has the same sexual fetish as King Zhou?

"........."

[The Heart Seal of the Literary Master!]

Before going to Yixianglou, Chen Jing changed into the appearance of Emperor Wenzong. Brothels and karaoke bars are different; not just anyone can go upstairs.

They either have money or talent; the former are real customers, while the latter can empower products, helping them increase their value and attract more customers.

On the street, he found a young man who looked suitable and asked for directions: "Excuse me, sir, could you tell me how to get to Yixiang Pavilion?"

Asking someone for directions to a brothel so early in the morning? Luckily, the person I asked was the right one, otherwise I might have been mistaken for a madman.

The young master pointed behind him with his folding fan: "Go straight, then turn left and you'll be there." Chen Jing went straight and then turned left, and sure enough, he found a red building with the sign "Yixianglou" on it. As soon as he entered the gate of Yixianglou, a heavily made-up madam greeted him: "You've arrived quite early, sir. Are you here to see someone, or to see a girl?"

Chen Jing was speechless for a moment after being asked this question, and then said, "Uh... I'm looking for a courtesan named Baili Zhi."

"Pfft!"

The madam couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes scanning Chen Jing up and down.

People who frequent nightclubs are naturally good at recognizing people. Seeing that Chen Jing's clothes were not luxurious but his demeanor was extraordinary, she quickly leaned close and said with a coquettish smile, "Young master is definitely not a local. Baili Zhi was indeed the most beautiful courtesan at Yixiang Pavilion, but that was ten years ago. She has now redeemed herself and returned to a respectable life! If young master prefers older girls, I am still quite charming."

Chen Jing took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the madam's hand, saying, "I have a connection with Miss Baili Zhi, so I would be grateful if you could do me a favor and show me the way."

Xingshui City is a major city second only to the capital. Brothels in such places are notorious for their extravagant spending. A silver ingot is barely enough for a cup of tea and snacks, and the madam won't even glance at it: "This amount of money is not enough to see the courtesan. Why don't you compose a poem, sir? If it satisfies me, I will give you the address of Miss Baili Zhi."

Although Chen Jing could also copy poems, he did not know which poems already existed in the Boundless Realm.

However, it wasn't a big problem. He logged off and handed control over to Zhu Kui, the Holy Body of the Innate Copycat. Five minutes later, he logged back in and not only got the address of the courtesan Baili Zhi, but the madam also had a pimp help him lead the way, saving him the trouble of asking for directions.

"........."

Chen Jing arrived at a secluded courtyard, grabbed the copper ring held by the beast's head, and knocked on the door of the house.

After a short while, an old doorman with a limp and a scar across his left cheek opened the door. Seeing that it was a stranger he didn't recognize, he asked warily, "Who are you looking for?"

Chen Jing, with his keen eye for physiognomy, could tell at a glance that this was a veteran who had killed people, and respectfully replied, "I've come to see Miss Baili Zhi."

The old doorman didn't even lift his eyelids and said directly, "Miss isn't home. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll pass it on for you."

Chen Jing wasn't a customer with impure motives, so he directly stated the purpose of his trip: "I heard that Miss Baili Zhi bought the first statue of General Huwei, and I would like to pay my respects to it."

"Please wait a moment!"

The old gatekeeper's expression changed slightly upon hearing the image of General Huwei, and he dragged his limping leg into the house.

A moment later, a maid dressed in green came to the door and handed Chen Jing a letter: "Miss instructed that if anyone comes to inquire about the statue of General Tiger Might, give him this letter and he will understand what it means. You should be able to understand it."

Chen Jing opened the envelope directly; inside was only a string of numbers, and they were Arabic numerals.
The natives of the Boundless Realm certainly wouldn't understand it, but anyone from the real world could recognize it as a phone number at a glance.

Player!

Bai Lizhi, the most beautiful courtesan at Yixiang Pavilion, is also a player.

Having mingled with Zhu Zicheng for a long time, Chen Jing hadn't found a single player and almost thought that Wuxiang Realm was a single-player game.

However, with only one player in two cities, even if it weren't a single-player game, the number of players would definitely not be large.

He glanced at it, noted down the number on the paper, and bowed, saying, "I can understand it perfectly well. Thank you for helping me deliver the message."
