Chapter 477 Taodu
When Ao Ling, a handsome young man who was obviously from a wealthy family, arrived at the door of the brothel with the plaque "Yuanyang", a group of beautiful prostitutes with shining eyes immediately came up to her, surrounded her, and spoke and acted very enthusiastically.
"Mandarin ducks crow in the morning, and phoenixes dance together in the spring. This building is quite interesting."
Ignoring the hands of the fox princess and clam girl that were secretly reaching out to him, Qin Huai withdrew his gaze from the couplet in front of the door and coughed twice. Ao Ling, who was immersed in the flowers, immediately understood and took the initiative to walk into the building.
When everyone entered the lobby on the first floor, before they could even open their mouths, their attention was immediately attracted by the beautiful dancer who was dancing solo on the jade platform in the middle.
She was naked from the upper body, with only two colorful shells barely covering her plump chest and revealing her slender waist like a white snake. Under the hazy blue gauze pants, her legs were long and straight, and her slender arms were dancing with springs of energy.
She moves barefoot, her steps are flying, and she dances like a flying fairy.
Even in the eyes of Qin Huai, who had seen many beauties, this dancer could be ranked among the top ten.
When the dance ended, the cheers in the hall continued for a long time.
"Madam, my young master needs a room in the upper room, and a table of wine and food. In addition, I need to invite a few famous girls to accompany him for drinking. If the courtesan in your building is also free, please help me invite them as well."
While giving the order, Qin Huai took out four gold shells and threw them nonchalantly to the middle-aged woman with heavy makeup behind the counter.
"Look at what you said. With distinguished guests here, Tao Niang must make time even if she is not free! Dada, lead the young masters to Hexiao Pavilion. Good wine and delicious food will be served immediately."
The still charming madam's eyes lit up when she saw Qin Huai's generosity. She immediately took the gold shell, her pair of green eyes smiling into crescents.
"Please excuse me, Madam."
Qin Huai nodded, took the initiative to push away the patrons and servants who were still in the hall with indulging looks, and led everyone to the roof of Yuanyang Tower.
Soon, a graceful figure stood outside Hexiao Pavilion and knocked gently on the brown wooden door with her delicate hands.
"Niang Tao greets Master Ao and all the distinguished guests."
Seeing the pretty girl entering the pavilion, Ao Ling, who had already pretended to be an experienced pro, waved his hand and said, "Come on, young lady, have a few drinks with me."
After drinking the acquaintance wine, Tao Niang looked at Ao Ling, her eyes as clear as spring water swept across Qin Huai and said with a smile: "Tao Niang is not good at drinking. If I get drunk, I'm afraid it will spoil your interest. Tao Niang would like to take advantage of this good night and invite you to taste the red-veined fairy peach produced in my hometown, just as an entertainment. I hope you will agree."
"I just want to see the young lady's talent."
Ao Ling smiled slightly and said that it was okay.
"Thank you for your permission, sir."
Before she finished her words, a red peach pit appeared in her slender white jade hand, attracting the attention of the whole audience.
"My little beauty, this is clearly a peach pit. Where did the fairy peach come from?"
Zheng Zhaomin put his arm around the slender waist of a clam girl, with an inexplicable expression, as if he was joking.
With his knowledge, he could naturally see what tricks this peach blossom demon was trying to play, but he was not interested in pointing it out, which would spoil the fun. He just said something to make it easier for the young lady to make use of the topic.
"Then you'd better watch carefully."
As she was speaking, she saw Peach Lady throw the peach pit in her hand, and it landed steadily on the bluestone ground in the middle of Hexiao Pavilion.
In full view of the crowd, only a slight sound was heard.
Snapped!
There was no need to make hand gestures or chant any incantations; a small crack appeared on the peach pit and roots and sprouts quickly grew.
They actually wanted to plant peaches on this stone brick ground without any water or soil!
Qin Huai raised his eyebrows, did not speak, but silently opened [A Glimpse].
[Peach Blossom Lady]: Originally a spiritual tree on Taodu Mountain, she got an opportunity and cultivated to become a spirit. She is not good at fighting, but is good at playing tricks. She has been practicing Taoism for 1,800 years.
Note: The mountain spirit has a clear and pure aura, a beautiful appearance, and a very romantic and enthusiastic temperament. She is an excellent partner for dual cultivation.
Without watering, fertilizing or applying any fertilizer, a jade-like peach seedling grew out of the small red peach pit in just a few breaths.
The saplings grew in the wind, their dense roots vying to penetrate into the cracks in the stone floor, and their branches quickly grew taller inch by inch.
The leaves grow and fall, fall and grow again.
In the blink of an eye, the peach tree has gone through several springs and autumns.
Because the growth rate was so fast, people could even hear the rustling sound of the rapid sprouting.
In just a cup of tea, Qin Huai witnessed with his own eyes the peach tree growing from a peach pit to the thickness of an adult's thigh.
Then, bright pink peach blossoms bloomed rapidly and then withered away just as quickly.
But a few green peach fruits began to swell up soon after, and in a few moments they weighed down the branches.
Soon, the peaches were ripe, green with a hint of white and white with a hint of red, and through the crystal clear flesh, you could faintly see red lines like thin blood vessels.
All of a sudden, the room was filled with sweet and rich fruity fragrance, which was refreshing.
[Spring in the Garden]: One of the natural magic spells of the Taodu Mountain tree spirits. It can consume magic power to a certain extent to stimulate the growth of spiritual trees and magical herbs, making them bear flowers and fruits early.
The black ripples spread out layer by layer, and in the center of the new peach tree grew an exceptionally delicate pink bud. The strange thing was that it only grew but did not bloom or bear fruit.
Just as Qin Huai turned his attention back from Yanfu's reminder, it grew from the size of a bowl to the size of a washbasin, and then from the size of a washbasin to the size of a bamboo basket.
At this moment, everyone could vaguely see through the eternal candle lamp that there seemed to be a graceful figure curled up inside the flower bud.
puff~
All of a sudden, the huge flower bud suddenly bloomed on its own, and a fragrance many times fresher than mint instantly emerged.
Even though Qin Huai was not close to the peach tree now, he just sniffed it lightly, and the cool feeling immediately penetrated into his heart and lingered for a long time.
[Taodu Divine Fragrance]: The unique fragrance from the spiritual tree on Taodu Mountain can keep thousand-year-old evil spirits clear-headed, allow hundred-year-old monsters to transform into humans early, and can also help Yamabu who is not above the peak of the Nine Lights to recuperate his soul and slowly repair the damage done to his soul.
"No wonder the price is so high. The origin of this tree spirit is not simple."
Qin Huai folded his arms and held his chin, looking at the figure emerging from the flower bud, his eyes calm.
The person kneeling in the heart of the huge peach blossom was Peach Blossom Lady, who had changed her clothes and turned from pure and beautiful to charming and enchanting.
It was like a young and lovely fruit growing into a plump and juicy ripe peach in the blink of an eye, quite tempting. She was wearing a pink and white half-sleeve fairy dress that exposed her shoulders, half covering her jade-like smooth shoulders, and a bright red peach blossom tattoo could be vaguely seen on her collarbone.
Shrouded in light smoke and gauze, her delicate and graceful figure is vaguely visible, which makes people imagine a lot.
She has dark eyebrows, a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes, light pink rouge on her face, and moist lips that make her seem as if she wants to speak but cannot. She is truly as red as the peach blossoms.
Facing Ao Ling's admiring gaze, which was not mixed with lust at all, the stunning beauty in the bud stood up, bowed, and said in a delicate voice: "Mrs. Tao is willing to perform a dance to entertain all the distinguished guests."
Then a group of thumb-sized wood spirits emerged from under the branches of the peach tree, bringing with them various musical instruments and starting to play and sing. Suddenly, the Hexiao Hall was filled with the sound of fairy music.
The Peach Blossom Lady jumped out of the bud, her crystal white bare feet landed on the blue bricks, and she stepped to the beat of the drums, her pearl tassels twirled like stars, and her vines shook like dragons and snakes.
Sometimes it looks like a deer in the forest, sometimes like a startled swan on the water. It can be said to be like a phoenix flying in the sky, in the most beautiful state!
Taohua Niang danced gracefully, wandering around the scene like a butterfly flying through flowers. She would hold up the tempting fairy peach with her fair jade hands, or brush Ao Ling's temples with her soft lips painted with pink rouge. Her every move seemed to be the charming color of a fairy descending to the earth, and her movements were so beautiful that they were beyond words.
Qin Huai played with the fresh peach that had just been served to him. Although he did not drink as happily as Zheng Zhaomin, he nodded frequently, obviously very satisfied with the professional level of this courtesan.
After a long time, the dance ended. Taohua Niang sat down again, took Ao Ling's arm, and said softly, "Master Ao, are you satisfied with Taohua Niang's dance?"
"Graceful as a green orchid, graceful as a flying dragon. The lotus sways through the waves, and the tousled snow lingers in the wind."
The handsome and incomparable Ao Ling handed the luminous cup in his hand to Tao Niang and said with a smile: "The young lady's dancing skills are amazing, coupled with this kind of magic, it is really fascinating."
"As long as Master Ao likes it."
Seeing that Ao Ling had almost stabilized the little Peach Lady, Qin Huai coughed twice and asked casually, "From what I saw, the magic power just now doesn't seem like the means of the sea people, but more like the talent of mountain spirits. If my guess is correct, Peach Lady should not be from the Abyss Sea, right?"
"My dear, you have a good eye. Yes, I am from Taodu, not from Yuanhai. It's just that something happened in my hometown 20 years ago, so I came to Qianchuanhaiji to stay temporarily, making a living by dancing and performing to entertain people."
Tao Niang nodded, confirming Qin Huai's guess.
"Something happened at Taodu Mountain? Could you please tell me in detail, young lady?"
Ao Ling understood the hidden meaning of Qin Huai's words and spoke up at the right time to assist, hinting at the problem.
"This incident is neither big nor small. For mountain spirits like me, it may just be a reversal of the earth. But Taodu Mountain is an important place related to the reincarnation of all races in the ten continents and three islands. The immortals of the thirty-three heavens rushed to the extreme west shortly after the incident. I don't know what they did in the end. I only know that since then, Taodu Mountain has gradually become a den of ghosts. I had no choice but to choose to leave my hometown and come to Qianchuan Haiji."
After listening to Taohua Niang's story, Qin Huai also found out the story about Taodu Mountain in Tian Jiazi No. 9 Middle School through Zero.
[According to legend, deep in the ocean, there is Taodu Mountain. On top of it is a big peach tree, which is twisted and coiled for three thousand miles. The northeastern part between the branches is called Ghost Gate, where all the ghosts come in and out.
There are two gods above, one is Shentu and the other is Yulei. They are in charge of reviewing all ghosts. They can kill ghosts by holding them with reed ropes and feeding them with tigers.
Because the eastern green wood is the extreme of vitality, and things will turn to the opposite extreme, which is also the extreme of death. And because the east is a vast ocean with water, it can connect to the western underworld. 】
"I see. I wonder if there is a pair of brothers named Shentu and Yulei in Tao Niang's hometown?"
Qin Huai glanced at the hint of Yan Fu on his iris and asked another question.
"Never heard of it."
Tao Niang thought for a moment before slowly shaking her head and replying.
"I didn't expect that not only the three Penglai Islands in Guixu in the East China Sea, but also Taodu Mountain in the far west had also suffered a great change and disaster. This calamity between heaven and earth is really unpredictable!"
Qin Huai sighed and observed Taohua Niang's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Ze Yu, who had been drinking slowly at the table, spoke up: "Speaking of Taodu Mountain, there is a secret story that I wonder if you have heard of."
"My dear guest, do you want to know the origin of Taodu?"
"Yes, that's the origin of Taodu Mountain."
Ze Yu nodded and pulled out a scroll from the bag on his waist.
"Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was no Taodu Mountain in the far west. It was not until Long Bo fished for Ao that the two sacred mountains, Daiyu and Yuanjiao, drifted to the North Pole and fell into the abyss a hundred years later. Only then did a Dushuo Island appear in the West Sea, and on Dushuo Island happened to be a Taodu Mountain."
"I heard from the elders in the tribe that it was the Emperor of Heaven who salvaged Daiyu and Yuanjiao from the abyss, and used his great magical powers to place them in the far west, transforming them into Taodu Mountain on Dushuo Island, which serves as the place of reincarnation for all the spirits and races."
Qin Huai listened to the story while looking at the unfolding painting.
In the far west, there was nothing but an isolated island on the boundless gray-blue ocean. Even the reefs as small as sesame seeds were nowhere to be seen.
In the isolated mountain peaks that were carved by knives and axes, the huge root system spread out for three thousand miles like a dragon. This big peach tree has the power to reach the sky, its skin is as rough as rock, and the peach blossoms on its branches are as red as fire, covering the sky and the sun.
"And this [Peach God] in my tribe's painting, perhaps it can be considered the ancestor of Lady Peach?"
Ze Yu compared the two peach trees in and outside the painting, and there was some uncertainty in his words.
"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. Yes, this [Peach God] is indeed Tao Niang's great-grandmother. But after the accident that day, the great-grandmother's foundation was severely damaged, and she was hurriedly taken back to Yuan Mingtian by the immortals of the thirty-three heavens. They said they wanted to ask the Lord Emperor of Heaven to rescue her. I don't know how she is now."
Looking at the Peach God in the painting, who had traveled three thousand miles across the sea, Taohua Niang inevitably felt a little depressed.
"Fellow Daoist Ze, I remember that the Heavenly Emperor also started to retreat in recent years, right?"
Listening to the conversation between Ze Yu and the other person, Qin Huai also smelled something strange.
"If you count the time, there was news about a dozen years ago that the Emperor of Heaven was in seclusion and would not see any guests."
Ze Yu frowned and realized something was wrong.
"The earth dragon turned over, the ghost gate was damaged, the peach god was seriously injured, the emperor of heaven was in seclusion, and the three islands disappeared."
Qin Huai tossed the peach in his hand and said quietly, "If you look at all these things together, it can only be said that the storm is coming."
-
Thirty-three heavens, Yuanming Heaven.
There are hundreds of thousands of palaces, jade streets like dragons, hanging mountains like towers, cranes spreading their wings, stardust floating, waterfalls falling from the Milky Way, and countless pavilions and towers. Immortals travel between them, riding deer and sitting on cranes, floating out of the world.
At the southernmost tip of Yuanming Mountain, the Tianmen that overlooks the world is even more majestic and extraordinary. Even when you are in the clouds, you can see the eaves of the Tianmen. Countless glazed golden tiles stacked up with a majestic and boundless momentum, as if the overall situation of the ten continents and three islands is just a small change under the Tianmen.
The one guarding the Heavenly Gate is a giant god with a high forehead, round eyes, and a short beard as thin as a needle. He holds a purple-gold Xuanhua Axe in his hand and wears a red robe with golden armor. He is surrounded by sturdy, golden-armored warriors who are several meters tall, and look extremely majestic.
Suddenly, a ray of moonlight appeared out of thin air before their eyes and solidified.
