When asked about Gu Zuo's plans during the chat, Gu Zuo told him about being rejected by Hu Si today.

The two escort chiefs frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. Nanzhao has always welcomed and encouraged the opening of Taoist temples and shops, so why are you refusing? Let's go back and ask around to see if Lishui Zhao has made any progress in its policies.

Adjustment?"

Taoist priest Yuan stroked the spirit stone chain around his neck and said, "Isn't it because of the incident at Dinghu Sect?"

Gu Zuo was still peeking at the authenticity of the former Taoist Master's spirit stone chain, trying to judge whether the other party had really sent it. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "I think so too, but if the two escort leaders can get more

Exact news is of course the best, thank you very much, Gu."

He didn't have to go to Lishui, but he mainly wanted to know whether Nanzhao's policy had changed.

During his trip to Lishui, Taoist Master Yuan also came here to do business. Now that the business was done, he said he planned to host the party in the evening and invited the escort chief and Gu Zuo to get together.

I went back to the room first and saw Aunt Ding Jiu waiting outside the door.

"What's wrong with Aunt Jiu?" Gu Zuo asked.

"Master Gu Xian, we are ready to leave." Ding Jiugu lowered her head.

"Didn't you hear that the escort chief said they were leaving?" Gu Zuo was a little surprised.

"Captain Zhou will take us back first, and Capt. Cheng will catch up with us tomorrow."

"Okay, then...be careful along the way."

Ding Jiugu nodded and left hesitantly.

Gu Zuo roughly understood what she was thinking. Maybe during the conversation along the way, he knew that she was going to open a gym, and he thought of coming to help. Such a female boxer with a solid foundation in kung fu and familiar with the customs of Nanzhao, even if she has no training, is very useful to a newcomer.

Gu Zuo is also a great helper.

However, Gu Zuo's branch has not yet been established, and there is no way to recruit people for the time being. What's more, Ding Jiugu said that she wants to earn money to support the family and help her younger brother practice.

It would have been better not to say this, but it would have caused some bad associations in Gu Zuo. Because these words are very familiar to Gu Zuo, there is no guarantee that they are true or false. If you really want to recruit Ding Jiugu into the gym to help, you still have to go and investigate in person.

That's good.

In the evening, the head escort came to knock on the door and invited Gu Zuotong to the banquet.

Gu Zuo followed him out of Ruyi Inn, walked southeast along Lishui, then passed through a pine forest and turned into a manor.

There are more than ten courtyards of various sizes in the manor, all hung with bright lanterns and connected by galleries. The courtyards are filled with tables, and they are already full of guests, guessing orders and toasting to each other.

Walking along the twists and turns of the gallery, there was a rockery, and two strong men stood at the door. The escort leader said his name, and a big man led the way, and he went directly into a cave on the rockery.

Cheng Biaotou smiled at Gu Zuo and followed him in.

Gu Zuo was very curious, could there be a cave in this rockery? Then Taoist Priest Yuan spent a lot of money on this treat.

As expected, there was a cave inside the rockery. Gu Zuo followed him to a bifurcated tunnel. After entering, there was a screen blocking it. If he looked carefully, he saw that it was a whole stone screen. The pattern was like a natural landscape painting, which showed the luxury of the owner!

Turning around the screen, a huge cave suddenly opened up in front of me!

The cave is more than ten feet high and thirty feet wide. It is divided into semi-secret rooms according to the natural lava. Colored lights of various colors and dazzling night pearls illuminate the cave like a dream.

There is a high platform in the middle of the cave, and more than a dozen musicians are playing music. From time to time, groups of young girls can be seen walking back and forth around the bends and corners.

Laughter, orders, and applause came and went, but the volume was just right. It didn't feel noisy or deserted, and I didn't know what magic circle the owner had set up here.

When they entered a half-open box, Taoist priest Yuan had already stood up to greet him. Seeing that he was right, the big man who led the way clasped his fists and left. Taoist priest Yuan and escort chief Cheng both turned around to see each other off, and Gu Zuo couldn't understand.

Who is this big man who is guarding the door? He follows behind and salutes.

After sitting down, Taoist priest Yuan said with a smile: "I've been in Lishui for many days, and I haven't been able to find time to come to the Crystal Palace for dinner. Today I can invite escort chief Cheng and Xiao Gu, so I might as well have a small gathering together, which can be regarded as borrowing your honor.

.”

The head escort said: "I haven't been here much, and I would like to thank the original owner of the village for his hospitality. Otherwise, we escorts wouldn't have the ability to come to the Crystal Palace for entertainment. I really envy the original owner of the village."

Then he turned to Gu Zuo and said: "Master Gu has never been here before. This is the first-class place in heaven and earth in Lishui. The original Taoist priest is the host, so don't be polite and kill him well, haha!"

As soon as he entered the cave and saw the girls walking around, Gu Zuo already roughly understood that this place was actually a brothel, but it was built in a unique style and took a lot of thought.

So he praised: "This owner really has an idea to open a brothel in a cave, it's amazing!"

Taoist priest Yuan answered with a smile: "This brothel belongs to Baihuamen, and the head is a high-level Jindan cultivator. When I came here last year, he even made a special trip to have a few drinks with me. He is a very thoughtful person. The brothel is located in

In addition to the exquisite design, this place can also avoid the patrolling eyes and ears of the Lishui Sect. Except for regular customers, ordinary people cannot enter. The one who sent you in just now is the Foundation Establishing Monk! The Foundation Establishing Monk is guarding the door. Which brothel are you going to?

Do you have this kind of treatment?"

Gu Zuo Daqi: "Why do you still avoid the Lishui Sect's inspections?"

Head escort Cheng explained: "In Lishui, brothels are strictly prohibited..." Pointing upward, "You understand, hehe."

Gu Zuo suddenly realized that the three leaders of Lishui Imperial Palace were all female cultivators, and many of their key officials were also women. Even Sun Canjun, the Fajie who Gu Zuo didn't know about at first and was going to visit, heard that she was also a female Jindan cultivator, and she was a Jindan cultivator.

Perfect master. In such a country, how can you expect brothels to be legal?

Taoist priest Yuan smiled and comforted him: "Don't be afraid. Baihua Gate has its own secrets, and it's extremely secretive. Those unsuspecting diners are all covering for us outside, haha. Okay, let's take a seat quickly!"

After high-fiving, a gorgeous bustard came immediately, followed by a row of young girls, wearing different styles of bellybands and green gauze.

The old bustard smiled and said: "Prince Yuan, I haven't been here for a long time, and I have forgotten about the slave family! This is the new outer disciple. Let's see if these distinguished guests want to open the sect and recruit disciples?"

A row of young girls all said a blessing: "I have met all the elders!"

Taoist priest Yuan waved his hand boldly: "Master Gu is coming to Lishui for the first time. We are going to recruit inner disciples to practice dual cultivation!"

The old madam sat on Yuan Dao's lap and complimented: "Yuan Dao has made a fortune, and I'm waiting for you to love him!" He led the girls down with a smile.

What elder? What outer disciple? What inner disciple? Gu Zuo was confused.

The escort leader next to him introduced that the Crystal Palace divides female prostitutes into three categories. Ordinary women are outer disciples, while female cultivators in the Qi refining stage are inner disciples. In addition, there is the highest level, which is foundation building.

Female cultivators also have a name for looking for this kind of female prostitute, which is called worshiping the teacher.

Gu Zuo laughed loudly after hearing this. After laughing, he couldn't help but wonder, is there really a female cultivator doing this?

Under his expectant and curious eyes, the Madam brought six more girls over, still wearing bellybands and gauze, but wearing wide harp skirts outside, which made them look more graceful and noble.

Gu Zuo was immediately shocked. He didn't need the Madam's introduction. He had already clearly sensed in his Qi Hai that these six were all monks!

Under Yuan Taoist Priest's urging, Gu Zuo pointed to a tall and slender female cultivator. The female cultivator smiled slightly and said, "Greetings, teacher." Then she sat next to Gu Zuo generously and helped him pour wine.

The escort leader Cheng was more direct than Gu Zuo. He pulled the selected female cultivator onto his lap and took a sip, then held him in his arms and asked him to serve the food. However, the former Taoist Priest had already started feeding each other wine.
