Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 196 Meeting an old friend again
In Yunzhou City, Tianshang Pavilion is an extremely famous place for entertainment.

Although it is called romantic, it is actually elegant. It is not as bad as the building ship and the detention room in Kuadai County that he had encountered before in Zhou Yuan Mansion. At least the warrior girls here cannot be won at an ordinary price.

Jiang Yue didn't have many acquaintances in Yunzhou City, so he simply went there by himself.

Tianshang Pavilion is a towering pavilion that seems to reach the sky, hence the name Tianshang Pavilion. The nine-story pavilion is like a monk's jade tower, towering into the clouds.

Jiang Yue was not wearing official uniform, but a yellow shirt and holding a folding fan. He looked no different from a young master from an aristocratic family.

When he arrived here, no one was there to greet him. Jiang Yue fumbled around for a while before he understood the rules of Tianshang Pavilion.

In the Tianshang Pavilion, one still has to pay attention to the literary and artistic tastes. There are many small halls inside, and each hall has a special singing leader who sings operas, singing and dancing. There is also a soundproof formation. Men sit below and listen to the opera. If they listen well, they can give some tips.

If you are among the top in terms of reward money, you will naturally have a chance to be intimate with her. Of course, whether you can be intimate with her depends not only on the reward money, but also on whether the singing champion likes you.

“It’s a bit like the live broadcast in my previous life.”

Jiang Yue almost understood it.

Love is a place to make money. If a group of men watch a woman perform and give her tips, it will naturally inspire each other's fighting spirit and lead to crazy spending. In the end, the one who benefits will still be Tianshangge.

This is still an ordinary singing champion. If it is an oinari with a great reputation, who has never had sex with anyone, or even someone who is pure and chaste, there are many men in Yunzhou City who are willing to spend a fortune on her.

The most famous among them is an oiran named Yu Niang, the top prostitute in Tianshang Pavilion. Every time she appears, countless dignitaries will spend a fortune on her.

It’s a pity that Yu Niang is not here today.

On the contrary, there was a girl named Yu Niang who showed off her singing skills and overwhelmed all the other girls, attracting many warriors.

Seeing the excitement, Jiang Yue also came over and sat in an empty seat below the stage. He looked curiously at the veiled beauty on the stage, and then looked curiously at the group of spectators below.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.

"I knew it!"

Jiang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as he saw a familiar figure among the crowd.

He knew, how could his senior brother Shen Xuan not be present in a place like Tianshang Pavilion?

Shen Xuan sat in a seat below Yu Niang's singing stage, drinking wine, clapping and cheering, looking drunk. There were many friends around him, all of whom looked like noblemen.

Jiang Yue strode towards Shen Xuan with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, you don't know that this Yu Niang is the orthodox master of the Drama Division. She and Yu Niang have the same master, so they can be considered to be from the same school."

"Is this true? No wonder such a beautiful woman would enter this romantic place. It turns out she came here to practice. That's right, Yu Niang has been singing for so many years, it's time for her to retire. It's normal for her junior sister to take over."

"Isn't it like this for all the opera singers? They either travel around the world to perform opera, or they stay in one place to perform opera. It's obvious that Yu Niang and Yu Niang chose the latter."

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that such a beautiful woman is so hard to get close to."

"Yes, he is here to practice, he only seeks fame, not profit, how can he get close to her? He is very different from an ordinary singing champion."

"On the contrary, I like this noble feeling. The more intangible it is, the more unreal it feels, and the more fascinating it is."

"Haha, Brother Shen, who wouldn't be the same as you said? Otherwise, we wouldn't be sitting here."

"What a pity. I have waited till Yu Niang retires, but I still haven't seen what she looks like. These Xisi monks are really outrageous. It's really that serious."

"Hahaha, the things you can't get are the most tempting!"

Shen Xuan and the noblemen around him were talking about Yu Niang's origins.

The noblemen pursued this kind of woman who mingled in the world of pleasure but remained alone and aloof more fiercely than they pursued other courtesans.

"Senior brother."

Jiang Yue suddenly spoke, which startled Shen Xuan who was chatting, and the other noblemen were also stunned.

"Junior brother?!"

Shen Xuan stood up and said in surprise: "Junior brother, why are you in Yunzhou City?"

The other nobles also stood up to greet him and said, "Greetings, His Excellency the Inspector."

"Hmm? Junior Brother has become the Inspector of Yunzhou?"

Fourth Senior Brother Shen Xuan was surprised for a moment, then patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are great, kid. Your Senior Brother is still wandering around the world, but you have become a high-ranking official."

"Brother, please don't make fun of me."

Jiang Yue smiled and gathered the wine glasses together: "It's rare to meet Brother, I won't leave until I'm drunk today!"

"it is good!"

Shen Xuan laughed loudly and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my junior brother, Jiang Yue!"

"Let's get to know each other, Brother Shen. Inspector Jiang made us know each other, so how could we not know each other?"

"Yes, before, the Killing Stele Forest had comprehended the Ten Killing Scars and obtained the Immortal Technique!"

"Inspector Jiang's reputation is much greater than that of you, Brother Shen, as his senior brother. Yun He and Miao Xingyu were dumbfounded before, watching Inspector Jiang comprehend the immortal method, haha."

"."

These four people are the four sons of the four major families in Yunzhou, Shuyuan, Tan and Yuan. They all have high status in their families, but they have a very good relationship with Shen Xuan. Now they are teasing each other, and their flattery of Jiang Yue is full of admiration and envy.

In the entire Yunzhou City, who doesn’t know that Jiang Yue has extraordinary comprehension and has obtained the magical skills from the murderous stele forest?

Only Shen Xuan, who had just returned to Yunzhou City, didn't know.

"what?!"

Shen Xuan was surprised and asked, "Junior brother, did you get the immortal method from the murderous stele forest in Yunzhou City?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yue did not hide anything. Many people saw him obtaining the magic that day.

"Amazing!"

Shen Xuan chuckled and pulled Jiang Yue to sit down: "Let me introduce you, this is Tan Rulong, the second son of the Tan family, this is Yuan Shuiyun, the eldest son of the Yuan family, and this is Yuan Shi and Shu Tongping, both of whom are good friends of my brother."

"As for you, this is Jiang Yue, my junior fellow apprentice, even younger than Hu Yunlong."

After Shen Xuan's introduction, everyone bowed and smiled, saying things like "Nice to meet you" and "I've heard a lot about you". On the surface, they seemed extremely kind and got along very well.

After all, the relationship is there and everyone knows it.

In addition to Shen Xuan's personal relationship, Yuan Qinghuan of the Yuan family has a close relationship with Jiang Yue. Yuan Qinghuan is also Yuan Shuiyun's younger brother. Yuan Shuiyun has also seen Jiang Yue use his move to intimidate a snake demon, and has also heard the snake demon call Jiang Yue a little immortal.

As for the Shu family, there is no need to say more. Shu Yuanheng was from the Shu family, and the Yuan family, the third senior brother Yuan Gang is from the Yuan family.

As for the Qin family, the former Qin Yaling was considered a member of the Qin family, but she was swallowed by the water tribe. After that, the water tribe had been pretending to be Qin Yaling. It was Jiang Yue who finally avenged the Qin family.

This is the relationship. It can be said that Jiang Yue has a very good relationship with the four major families in Yunzhou, and he already has his own network of relationships and connections.

"Come, come, drink, drink."

After talking for a while, everyone started to toast, drank cup after cup of wine, and listened quietly to the opera.

Shen Xuan joked, "Everyone, you don't know that every time my junior brother comes to listen to music, he really comes to listen to music. He is a famous figure in our Qing County. Whenever my junior brother comes, the girls don't want to accept him. He just sings opera for the whole afternoon and does nothing else!"

"Ah? Is this happening?"

Everyone was surprised. "Haha, I just like drama."

Jiang Yue just laughed it off and didn't explain anything further. He continued to listen to the opera attentively.

"Hahahaha, Brother Jiang, then you have finally come to the right place."

Yuan Shuiyun was not as cheerful as he was in front of his father, Master Yuan Er. He said with a smile, "This Yu Niang on the stage is really here just to sing. You two are listening to the music and singing it, without thinking about anything else. You are a perfect match."

"Hahaha, they are indeed a good match."

Shen Xuan couldn't help laughing either.

A weirdo who listens to music and a monk who practices singing are really a perfect match.

"Who is this Yu Niang?"

Jiang Yue felt that Yu Niang looked familiar, and asked curiously, "Why do you look familiar?"

"Come on, Junior Brother."

Shen Xuan took a sip of the wine and said with a smile, "She looks familiar even though her face is covered. This Yu Niang is the new disciple of the head of the Yunzhou Opera Department. She can be considered a closed disciple. Didn't they hold a banquet to welcome her disciples a while ago? How come you, an inspector, can't even attend the banquet?"

"I wasn't in Yunzhou City a while ago."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "I went to inspect various places in Yunzhou."

"I knew it."

Shen Xuan smiled.

Yuan Shuiyun took over the conversation and said with a smile: "This Yu Niang is the same as the top performer Yu Niang. They are both disciples of the head of the drama department. They come here to perform operas to cultivate themselves. There has never been any rumors. They all use spiritual light to perform operas. We are all willing to reward them with this money. After all, listening to operas that bless spiritual light is also good for Shinto practice."

"Come on, Yuan Xiaoer."

Yuan Shi laughed and said, "If you could have a kiss with her, wouldn't you have broken your head long ago? Do you dare to say that the reward you gave was not used to smash a ball?"

"Hahaha."

Yuan Shuiyun laughed loudly and pretended to be angry: "Yuan Shitou, why are you still exposing me? Spending money on a beauty is more interesting than spending money on a rough guy like you, isn't that enough? If you want to throw the hydrangea or something at me, I'd be willing to do that too."

"Hydrangea?"

Jiang Yue was stunned. Wasn’t this something thrown away by the princess when she got married?

"The so-called hydrangea is actually the one that the top girl likes. She throws it to him, and then she can have sex with him in the evening."

Shen Xuan explained: "Initially, it was the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was looking for a lover, but the princess at that time was also a cultivator of the Drama Department. Over time, this tradition evolved to the Drama Department and then spread to the romantic world. Otherwise, why do you think those people spend so much money?"

As he spoke, Shen Xuan pointed to a few wealthy businessmen in front with big bellies. They were almost crazy, living a life of luxury and extravagance. They were throwing silver into a money jar, and there was a servant counting beside them.

"They just fantasize about being able to impress Yu Niang, ask for a bouquet, and have a kiss with her."

Shen Xuan sneered, "Little do you know that Yu Niang is the disciple of the head of the Opera Department. She is into entertainment and pleasure, and only seeks fame and cultivates the way of the gods. She has no interest in gaining anything. Yu Niang has been singing opera for more than ten years, from the age of twenty-eight to the age of twenty-eight. Isn't she still as pure and innocent as ever, and has never thrown away a bouquet of flowers?"

"Yeah, those fools are just dreaming."

Yuan Shi smiled and said, "For us, we can just give her one or two taels of silver as a token of appreciation. We can also give her a lot of commission from the money spent on the wine. Xiuqiu doesn't even need to think about it."

“Not everyone knows Yu Niang’s identity.”

Yuan Shuiyun laughed and said, "Tian Shang Pavilion provides Yu Niang with a place to practice, and Yu Niang gives Tian Shang Pavilion a share of the profits, so it can be considered that both sides get what they need. The hydrangeas and the like are just a means to stimulate these people to spend money. Inspector Jiang, you have never been to such a place, so don't be fooled into spending a huge amount of money, and in the end, not to mention the hydrangeas, you can't even take off the beauty veil."

"That's right, Inspector Jiang, don't be fooled."

Shu Tongping also echoed the comment.

These young masters of aristocratic families, who have been roaming around in the world of pleasure, are basically tired of it. They know the ins and outs of it very well, and can all see that Jiang Yue is a newbie here, so they explained a few more words to prevent Jiang Yue from spending money on meaningless things.

"No."

Jiang Yue shook his head, a little confused.

A hydrangea was thrown from Yu Niang's hand and landed steadily in Jiang Yue's hand.

"what?"

Shen Xuan, Shu Tongping, Yuan Shuiyun, Yuan Shi, and Qin Rulong were all stunned. They looked at the small and exquisite hydrangea in Jiang Yue's hand, and then looked at the beautiful woman on the stage who was staring at Jiang Yue with eyes as clear as autumn water. Their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

what's going on?
Jiang Yue was also stunned.

He frowned slightly and looked at Yu Niang on the stage. He saw that the beauty had a graceful figure. When the song ended, she gently took off the veil on her face, signaled to Jiang Yue, and quickly put on the veil again.

"It turned out to be her."

Jiang Yue recognized this face. It was the little daughter of the owner of the Yu Family Troupe, the girl who sang with the Yu Family Troupe.

Jiang Yue naturally would not refuse to meet an old friend.

"Sir, please follow me."

Yu Niang's voice was like the sound of nature, and seemed to echo from the empty valley, coming faintly and falling into Jiang Yue's ears.

Shen Xuan and the others were stunned. The other tycoons who were spending a fortune on the stage were also shocked. They stared at Jiang Yue and the exquisite hydrangea that was thrown up and down from his hands with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief.

Jiang Yue strode forward and followed Yu Niang into the back of the stage, where there was a pavilion specially prepared for the girls.

"No, what's going on?"

Yuan Shuiyun came back to his senses, his face full of confusion: "Don't I have Inspector Jiang?"

"Obviously not."

Shen Xuan complained: "You are not even as good as me, let alone my junior brother."

"No, isn't Yu Niang not selling her body?"

Yuan Shi said in a daze, "Brother Shen, your junior brother is too charming. But to be honest, as a man, I feel that he is extraordinary and majestic. He looks like a deep abyss and a mountain. It's hard to say whether Yu Niang will be attracted to Inspector Jiang."

"okay."

Shen Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Maybe it's an old friend. Don't make so many blind guesses. My junior brother is not that kind of person. You will know when he comes back and asks."

"Yeah, keep drinking."

Yuan Shuiyun nodded.
-
On the other side, Jiang Yue followed Yu Niang around and entered an elegant pavilion.

There are gauze curtains here, and through the windows you can see the lights of Yunzhou City below and the Huichun River in the distance. The scenery is pleasant and extremely beautiful, and coupled with the furnishings inside, it naturally creates a sense of ambiguity.

Yu Niang walked quietly into the house, waited for Jiang Yue to come in, and quickly closed the doors and windows.

The soundproofing formation was also activated at the same time.

Yu Niang looked at Jiang Yue with red eyes, tears immediately poured down her cheeks, and she cried, "Master Jiang, save me."

"Ok?"

Jiang Yue's face turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Why do you say that? Where is your father? Where is the Yu Clan?"

"My Lord, this is a long story. I don't have much time, so I can only make it short."

Yu Niang's eyes were filled with tears.
