On the afternoon of February 19, year 2786 of the Big Dipper calendar in the Tiangang Continent, it was a very ordinary day. However, the Nanshan County located in the remote north of the Yaoguang Empire welcomed the grandest event in the past ten years.
Liu Yaoguang, a great zither master from the imperial capital, was going to comb her hair and choose the best guests.
Early in the morning, the usually low-key state capital guards organized a group of people to clean up the four to five streets near the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. Snow, ice, and all sorts of rubbish that had accumulated over the years were all swept away.
In the middle of the South Street, which was only two hundred meters away from the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, a simple but exquisite grandstand was set up. The grandstand, including the nearby trees and flowers, were all draped in red, looking unusually festive.
On the wooden platform, there was a zither and a wine table. On the wine table, there were all kinds of rare fruits, but the most eye-catching thing was a pair of gilded couplets that were recently made and hung on the wooden pillars on both sides of the table.
The first couplet was: Talented scholars and beautiful women gather at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant.
The second couplet was: Matchmakers and beautiful women wander around Nanshan City.
The horizontal inscription was: A fine time and beautiful scenery.
The words were good, and the couplet was good!
However, in this occasion, there was a different meaning to it. Especially the two words' whip horse ', it made some men's imaginations run wild. Even if they couldn't eat pork, they still wanted to see the pig run. The grandstand was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The audience had arrived, but none of the main characters on the grandstand had yet to appear. Those who were qualified to be on the grandstand were all famous people in the Nanshan County. Of course, those were all dignified words. To put it bluntly, they were left for the rich and foolish hedonistic scholars.
However, Liu Yaoguang's great reputation and the fairy-like beauty playing the zither on the rooftop of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant had left a deep impression on many of the hedonistic young masters in the Nanshan County. Not long after. The first hedonistic young master generously appeared.
The Zuo family's second young master, Zuo Guangzong, brought a handsome young master with sharp eyebrows to the wooden grandstand. Zuo Guangzong didn't think much of it, but the appearance of the young master with sharp eyebrows caused a commotion.
He was simply too handsome. In addition, he did not have the boastful air of a hedonistic young master from Nanshan Commandery. His entire body exuded an oppressive air of nobility, causing some of the brothel ladies present to turn red with envy. Some of the bolder ones even tossed their scarves, and there were even some who screamed. This truly made Bi Pengzhuo, who had come with Zuo Guangzong, happy.
With such popularity, which young man wouldn't love him? Moreover, his Junior Sister might be looking at him from somewhere. Seeing how handsome he was and how popular he was with young girls, she might be tempted by him out of jealousy.
Not long after, Feng Wanying, who was relatively famous among the Feng Family disciples, also arrived. The only one missing was Ling Dong.
As for the other wealthy merchants who wanted to win the title of Courtesan Belle, sorry, they were not qualified to be on this stage. If they wanted to bid, there were seats below the stage. They just had to pay a hundred taels of silver. They were not qualified to sit on the same level as the young masters of the three great clans of Nanshan County.
"Hey, why hasn't today's popular Ling Dong arrived yet?" Although it was a casual sentence, Bi Pengzhuo's words were directed at Zuo Guangzong. If Ling Dong did not come, then the show that Bi Pengzhuo had spent so much effort to set up would be in vain.
Zuo Guangzong was also somewhat puzzled. Didn't Ling Dong promise to come? It was almost time, so why hadn't he come yet? "Soon, don't worry. He patted his chest and guaranteed me that day!" Zuo Guangzong said.
Feng Wanying, who was at the side, happily said, "It's good that he didn't come. With one less competitor, maybe my chances will be greater!"
Zuo Guangzong and Bi Pengzhuo rolled their eyes at Feng Wanying. You idiot. Without Ling Dong, this show would not have appeared at all.
As for the Ling family, Ling Dong, it was not that he did not want to come, but when he was about to go out, he was entangled by someone.
After lunch on the 19th, Ling Dong planned to go out. He first went to visit his father, Ling Yuanshan.
"Father, the elixir and the letter I gave you two days ago, have you sent it to the secret room where grandfather is in seclusion?" After the Three-Leaf Rock Spirit Elixir was refined, Ling Dong passed it to his father, Ling Yuanshan, and asked him to find time to send it to his grandfather, Ling Yuefeng, during the meal delivery time.
Together with the Three-Leaf Rock Spirit Elixir, there was also a letter from Ling Dong. In the letter, there were a few sentences explaining how to consume the Three-Leaf Rock Spirit Elixir, as well as some other instructions. Ling Dong also wrote in some of the experiences that he and others had when breaking through to the Earth Realm in his previous life.
Ling Dong felt that those experiences that contained the wisdom of the predecessors should be able to increase the chances of his grandfather, Ling Dong, breaking through to the Earth Realm by ten to twenty percent. With the addition of the Ice Lotus Calamity Breaking Elixir and the Three-Leaf Rock Spirit Elixir, the chances were close to eighty percent. Ling Dong felt that it was a certainty that his grandfather would break through to the Earth Realm.
"En, I sent it in. Last night, I used the excuse of visiting to send it in. I also received a few letters from your grandfather. He was very surprised that we could get our hands on a treasure like the Three-Leaf Rock Spirit Elixir. If it wasn't for your reminder, I would have told your grandfather that the elixir was refined by you." Ling Yuanshan said.
Hearing this, Ling Dong heaved a sigh of relief. "It's better not to say it now. It will distract grandfather! Oh right, father, I have to attend the Courtesan Gathering. I'll be leaving first! "
"Wait, Dong-er!" Ling Yuanshan suddenly called out to Ling Dong. "Dong-er, when the Courtesan Gathering started, you were still in seclusion. When you were still in seclusion, your name was already on the list. This is very unusual. Also, that Yaoguang Courtesan Liu Yaoguang suddenly came to a small and unknown place like Nanshan County to comb her hair. There must be a conspiracy behind this. It's better that you … don't go!"
"Father, you're right. There must be a conspiracy behind this. But I must go!" Ling Dong suddenly laughed.
Ling Yuanshan was stunned. "Why? You know that it's a conspiracy, but you still want to go in?"
"Father, if you change your position, the person that the conspiracy traps might trap might be someone else! Later, you must remember to watch a good show on the streets! "Ling Dong suddenly grinned and walked out in high spirits. Today, he could finally vent the anger that he had suppressed for hundreds of years in his previous life.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Ling family residence, Ling Dong was depressed. Someone rushed out from the side and suddenly stopped him. Not only did he stop him, he also bared his teeth at him.
"Ling Dong, why won't you let me go?! Why can you go but not me?! Why?! "Ling An rushed out and scolded Ling Dong furiously. Ever since the incident with Ling Zhuo, this Ling An from the third branch was much more stable as his name suggested. Today, however, he was acting out of character.
Ling Dong frowned. Could it be that Zuo Guangzong didn't do a good job?
"What do you mean I won't let you go? Speak clearly! "
"Zuo Guangzong said that each of the three major families can only send one person to the Courtesan Gathering. Why can only you go to the Ling family but not me? Can you represent the Ling family? Why are you the only one qualified to take Fairy Liu? Why? "Ling An angrily scolded.
Ling Dong looked at Ling An with disdain. An idiot was an idiot. He actually dared to seek his own death. If it wasn't for the Ling family, he wouldn't have cared about Ling An who represented the third branch.
"You can go, why can't you go? Your legs are on your body. No one is stopping you!" Ling Dong curiously said.
Ling An was delighted. "Really? Then the grandstand is mine. You don't have to go. "After saying that, he prepared to slip away.
"Wait, Ling An, you want to go to the grandstand? Do you have money?" Ling Dong stopped him and asked.
"Yes!"
"How much?"
"Eighty thousand taels!"
"Hahahaha!" Ling Dong suddenly laughed out loud. He laughed until he was out of breath. He pointed at Ling An and scolded with a smile, "Let me ask you, an ordinary Courtesan from the Heavenly Fragrance House would cost forty to fifty thousand taels of silver to comb her hair, right? This is Fairy Liu from the capital. Aren't you humiliating her by taking eighty thousand taels of silver? "
Ling An felt that it was right, but he was a little dissatisfied. "Then how much did you prepare?"
"Not much, just a million taels!" Ling Dong casually waved a handful of banknotes and walked forward.
After walking a few steps, he turned back and said to the stunned Ling An, "But it's okay. Although you can't go to the grandstand, you can sit in the VIP seats below. It costs a hundred taels of silver. Even if you can't hug the beauty, you can still see Fairy Liu from a close distance, right?"
Ling An smiled bitterly. "That's true!"
As Ling Dong walked away, he thought, 'Today's matter doesn't even need silver. As for this Ling An, he should also teach him a lesson. I'm sure he'll see an unforgettable scene today!'
Because of Ling An's delay, when Ling Dong arrived at the Courtesan Gathering, it was already crowded with people. Ling Dong was just considering whether he should be a little more coquettish and directly use his movement technique to fly over everyone's heads when the servant that Zuo Guangzong had arranged there already led the way for him.
When he arrived at the grandstand, to Ling Dong's surprise, the first person to stand up and welcome him was actually Bi Pengzhuo, who hated him to the bone.
"Brother Ling, Beauty Ruyu is in front of you today, and you're the first candidate to win the beauty's heart. How could you be late?" Bi Pengzhuo acted as if nothing had happened, but in his eyes, he couldn't wait for Ling Dong to immediately make a fool of himself and do that earth-shattering thing.
"Hehe, with a beauty in front of me, I naturally can't be rude, so I washed up a little more!" When it came to pleasantries, there was no one that Ling Dong, this centuries-old monster, didn't know how to do.
Ling Dong could naturally read some of the meaning in Bi Pengzhuo's eyes. When their gazes met, Ling Dong's expression was a little cold. 'The person who's going to do that earth-shattering thing today, who knows who it will be? I've even added a little extra for you!'
Bi Pengzhuo chuckled, and made a gesture of invitation. However, he gave Zuo Guangzong a look, meaning that they could start now. Bi Pengzhuo was already somewhat impatient!
Zuo Guangzong naturally understood. He walked to the side and gave a signal to the stammering procuress who was waiting there. A servant followed and struck the copper gong hanging at the side three times.
However, the earth-shattering sound of the copper gong didn't make the clamorous scene quiet down. Instead, it became even noisier. Just as Zuo Guangzong was feeling a bit of a headache, a clear sound of a zither that was as clear as pearls and jade suddenly rang out from the Heavenly Fragrance House two hundred meters away.
In that instant, everyone quieted down and couldn't help but look at the Heavenly Fragrance House in the distance.
It was also at this moment that a beautiful woman dressed in white suddenly floated out from the Heavenly Fragrance House. Her left hand held a zither horizontally in front of her chest, and her right hand waved like a string of pearls.
One after another, clear sounds like pearls and jade seemed to descend from the heavens. At the same time, everyone's hearts were cleared, and the scene became completely silent.
Everyone watched as the beautiful woman dressed in white floated away. At the same time, a red silk suddenly fell from her shoulders, and a pair of jade feet wrapped around the red silk. She kicked out repeatedly, and her delicate body floated up again.
White clothes, red silk, and heavenly music drifted in the air. She flew through the air like a fairy! How could this be called shocking! If you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!
