There were hundreds of thousands of people in Guangling County, and tens of thousands of people came to watch the selection of oirans. The banks of Huayang River were crowded with people from south to north.
The painted boat travels slowly, from south to north, and when it reaches the north, the painted boat will turn around, and then approach the other bank and travel from north to south, so that people on the shore can see the courtesans on the painted boat more clearly. When the boat traveled to one place, the people there looked up excitedly at the ten fairy-like figures on the top floor of the boat.
The courtesans sometimes dance lightly, sometimes play the piano, sometimes the zither...
When the boat came closer to Qin Yun's place, Miss Chenshuang just started dancing with her sword. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement.
"Miss Chenshuang's sword dance is really like a fairy descending from the sky. When a sword comes out, the world is cold." Someone in the crowd on the bank below praised it, and everyone was dazzled.
"Compared to sword dance." In the restaurant, Wen Chong said with emotion, "I like Miss Chenshuang's pipa more. In the past, I liked the sound of Fairy Qingqiu's flute. It feels distant and peaceful, as if far away from the world of mortals. After reading the girl's pipa, I realized that it was because other famous prostitutes in the past didn't play the pipa well enough. The pipa of Chenshuang girl... seems to be the entanglement of love and resentment between men and women. That unforgettable look back and smile, no matter how cruel the heart is, it will turn into soft fingers. Fairy Qingqiu's flute sound is far away from the world of mortals, and Miss Chenshuang's pipa is the one that makes people intoxicated in the world of mortals, unwilling to wake up."
Wen Chong looked at Qin Yun, "Brother Qin Yun, I'm not flattering, but from the bottom of my heart, I really like it. In the past few days, I have to see Miss Chenshuang almost every day, and ask her to play a song for me. song."
"Brother Wen, why didn't I feel it?" Young Master Hong was puzzled, "I just feel that Fairy Qingqiu's flute sounds more attractive to me."
"That's because you are still young. When you reach my age, you will like Miss Chenshuang's pipa." Wen Chong said.
"I also like Miss Chenshuang, but I like her sword dance, her heroic spirit is different from ordinary girls, and she also has a kind of weakness, which really makes my heart ache." Young Master Hong said.
Qin Yun said with a smile: "Before she was not well-known, few people knew about her, so naturally few people liked her. Now her reputation is spreading far and wide, many people know about her, and she has many followers."
"That's really good." Wen Chong continued, "I've heard a master who is good at playing the pipa play the pipa once, but it was even more ethereal. Although Miss Chenshuang's pipa skills are high, she is not a master, but she The pipa is lingering and sentimental, it is love and hatred, and hundreds of steel refinements also melt into tenderness."
"Is it really that good? I have to listen carefully later." Young Master Hong said.
"To be honest, I haven't heard Xiaoshuang's pipa since I came back. The last time I listened to her pipa was six years ago." Qin Yun wanted to hear it, the last time he listened to the pipa, it was Xiaoshuang who saw him off , I will leave my hometown to travel around the world. At that time, Xiaoshuang was only thirteen years old, and her pipa skills were still relatively immature. It just made Qin Yun feel sad at that time.
…
Among the crowds of people by the Huayang River, there is a woman in light green robes walking from a distance, leisurely and leisurely, even if people around see the woman in light green robes, they will quickly forget her face, and they will not even notice that there is something wrong with them .
"Guangling in March is really charming, the scenery is charming, and this prostitute's skills are not ordinary." The woman in light green robe smiled and looked at the distance admiringly. Although she was at the end of the crowd, she still clearly saw everyone on the boat A famous courtesan saw the girl in Xiangyi dancing.
"The scenery is good, the people are good, but it's a pity that there is a big monster like the water god who has caused disasters in Guangling County for more than two hundred years."
The woman in light blue robe shook her head lightly, "When my uncle arrives, with my uncle helping me, it's time to get rid of this big monster."
Although she was speaking softly, no one around her heard her.
*****
With time, finally came the time to decide the oiran.
A woman who presides at the bow of the painting boat has a soft voice and was also a famous prostitute when she was young. She announced the top three candidates this time: "Fairy Qingqiu, Miss Xiangyi, and Miss Chenshuang."
As soon as the name was announced, there were thunderous cheers.
As for the ten famous prostitutes on the top floor of the painting boat, the other seven went down the ladder to the cabin one by one. On the top floor of the painting boat, there are only the top three oiranians this time - Fairy Qingqiu, Miss Xiangyi, and Miss Chenshuang.
"Top three."
Standing there with her pipa in her arms, Miss Chenshuang couldn't help being nervous when she saw the cheers of countless people, "I'm really in the top three."
Hearing the shouts at the scene, she realized that her reputation should be comparable to Fairy Qingqiu and Miss Xiangyi. But after all, her qualifications are too low, and she herself is not sure whether she can enter the top three. Now that she has really advanced, she can't help feeling nervous.
There were three famous prostitutes, Fairy Qingqiu holding a flute with one hand, Miss Chenshuang holding a pipa, and Miss Xiangyi standing there softly and gracefully.
"My Guangling County won the oiran this year... Yanfenglou, Miss Chenshuang!" A voice came from the bow of the painting boat, and the voice spread across both sides of the river.
"Dust Frost."
"Dust Frost."
"Miss Chenshuang."
Cheers burst into the air.
Girl Chenshuang was holding the pipa, but her head felt numb and her scalp was numb: "Me? I won the oiran?"
Surprise, it came too suddenly!
At this moment, Miss Chenshuang looked around. At this moment, she really wanted to see the relative she cared about most, her elder brother Yun. It's just that she couldn't find it for a while amidst the crowds of people around.
The two sides of the Huayang River were full of people for a mile or two. When it was announced that the oiran was Chenshuang, there was a burst of cheers. This was also the climax of the entire selection of the oiran. But at this moment, no one noticed... On the river bank closest to the large painting boat, there were three unremarkable men among the crowd.
After hearing the oiran's announcement, the three men looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Boom." "Boom." "Boom."
The three figures rushed out in an instant, and many of the originally crowded crowd were knocked away by them, screaming in pain, and more than a dozen people were directly hit and flew up, blood flying into the air.
The three figures that rushed out also changed instantly, and the head of one figure directly turned into a fierce dog's head. This wild dog monster grabbed a big knife, leaped across the sky and rushed towards the boat. Another figure turned into a majestic wolf monster, swung its sharp claws and rushed towards it, and in mid-air, casually cut and shattered an ordinary person who was thrown away with one claw. The last one has soared in size to about Zhang Xu, and ordinary people can only wait until his waist. He is an extremely burly rhinoceros demon! Because in order to hide his identity before, he couldn't carry a suitable weapon. After all, with such a body size, he would definitely be targeted if he carried a large weapon. However, this rhinoceros demon is afraid that a random punch has the power of terror.
The three monsters rushed out suddenly, jumped across the sky and rushed towards the large painting boat which was only seven or eight feet away.
This scene shocked everyone.
"If you offend the water god, you will all die!" The rhinoceros roared even louder, like a thunder on the ground, shaking the surrounding ground and shaking the river. Many civilians on the nearby river bank covered their ears in pain, and the three of them, Miss Chenshuang, Fairy Qingqiu, and Girl Xiangyi on the large painting boat also covered their ears and swayed.
"What, three monsters?"
"The water god sent a monster?"
Even the guards around were stunned. Although the oiran is elected every year, because there are too many people gathered, a large number of people will be sent to guard. But it was just a precaution, because no monster dared to come to death for too long.
Because once it is killed, it may cause some deaths and injuries to the human race, but the monster is sure to die.
…
On the restaurant.
Qin Yun was still smiling and watching the oiran's announcement, and heard countless cheers, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and he saw the three-headed monster rushing out.
"monster."
The real energy in Qin Yun's body surged into the talismans that had been tied up in his trouser legs. This pair of talismans were tied to the left and right trouser legs respectively, and they were also the most expensive talismans on Qin Yun's body—the divine movement talisman! Ordinary talisman paper is used up once. For example, the healing talisman like that is a one-time use. And the talisman is a treasure that can be used for a long time. Although the divine movement talisman is relatively low-end among the talismans in the practice world, it is also a talisman at any low end. It can be used for a long time and many times, so it is naturally extremely expensive!
This is also one of the reasons why Qin Yun was able to survive for three years on the border battlefield of the Northland. The divine movement talisman has no other use, only one—spiritual movement! high speed!
"Whoosh."
Qin Yun rushed out of the restaurant in a blink of an eye, arrived on the Huayang River, stepped on the river surface, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the painting boat at a terrifying speed!
The speed is too fast!
However, the three-headed monster was too close to the painting boat, it was seven or eight feet away, so they swooped! When Qin Yun finds out and acts again, the other party will be on the boat. And Qin Yun is still seventy or eighty feet away!
"Not good." Qin Yun was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to watch everything happen.
