Chapter 278 277. Zui Xiang Lou (Subscribe!)
"The oil seller?"
In the Arctic Exorcism Institute, Feng Lingchen's expression became more serious than ever after hearing Xu Qing's explanation.
This is the Imperial City!
An oil seller who was obviously secretly plotting some evil thing actually managed to run around safely for more than half a year under the noses of various forces in the Imperial Capital without being discovered? !
How could Feng Lingchen not be shocked by this?
In particular, the Arctic Exorcism House is in charge of all evil spirit incidents in the world.
This is a serious dereliction of duty on their part.
"I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter immediately!" Feng Lingchen said seriously.
"Use my name to mobilize as many people as possible in the hospital." Xu Qing said in a deep voice, "Everyone in the hospital who has nothing to do at the moment, go and investigate this matter!"
"If possible, recall as many of the twenty-eight constellations as possible!"
Feng Lingchen looked at Xu Qing in surprise.
Although he felt that there must be something fishy behind this oil seller, he didn't expect Xu Qing to take it to this extent.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations have a high status in the North Pole Exorcism Institute, and some of their combat power can even rival that of the Five Star Gods.
It's just that I don't want to be restricted to one place like the Five Star Gods.
"Do you want to call back even the twenty-eight constellations?"
"Yes!" Xu Qing nodded heavily.
What Feng Lingchen didn't know was that he had just used the "Golden Eyes" to track down the cause and effect, but the causal line did not appear -
The other party has the ability to isolate the cause and effect investigation!
This means that the other party is very likely a practitioner with great supernatural powers!
"Row!"
Seeing Xu Qing being so serious, Feng Lingchen knew that the matter was probably more serious than he had imagined.
Moreover, Tianpeng and Zhongdou Xingjun are not present in the Arctic Exorcism Institute, so Xu Qing's position as "Inspector" nominally has the highest status.
Xu Qing is qualified to issue such an order.
"I will immediately pass on your order to call back the twenty-eight constellations, but I am not sure how many people can come back."
"Any evil incident that requires the twenty-eight constellations to intervene must be a very difficult one. They may not be able to spare the time to intervene."
"I understand." Xu Qing nodded. "Also, Tianpeng hasn't come back yet?"
"No." Feng Lingchen shook his head. "Perhaps he went with the clan leader to deal with those princes and nobles."
"Since that day, Tianpeng has never been seen in the courtyard again."
Xu Qing looked thoughtful. The abbot of Baiyun Temple also disappeared that day. Could there be any connection between the two?
Faintly, he smelled a scent of approaching danger.
"You keep an eye on the oil seller's matter. This could potentially lead to a huge disaster." After giving these instructions, Xu Qing left the Arctic Exorcism Institute.
After leaving the Arctic Exorcism Hospital.
Zhong Neng Rat crawled out from the scent bag on Bai Lele's waist and cursed: "Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat!"
Bai Lele pouted and said aggrievedly: "How should I know there is something wrong with the intestines? They smell so good!"
"As a Gu Master, can't you smell something unusual inside? How many corpses have you dealt with? You can't even notice something like this?" Zhong Nengshu said unhappily.
Bai Lele pouted his lips and looked depressed.
Xu Qing was walking on the road, wondering whether the oil seller had any connection with the haunted house.
However, considering that many ghosts use corpse oil to make lamps, there seems to be no definite connection between the two.
"Le Le, you go back first, I have a few places to go!"
Xu Qing's words interrupted Zhong Nengshu's lecture to Bai Lele.
Bai La's eyes sparkled: "Where are you going, big brother? Can I go with you?"
"That place is not suitable for you." I learned from the stall owner that the oil seller did not have a fixed place to appear, but every time the corpse oil ran out, I would meet the oil seller that night.
The places where the oil seller appears are always near brothels.
Xu Qing planned to wait until nightfall and then go to several red-light districts in the city to try his luck.
Of course, I can't bring Bai La La with me to this kind of place.
After saying goodbye to Bai La La, Xu Qing went to some restaurants in the city, but did not find any food made with corpse oil.
After this circle, the sun was setting and the night was coming in from all directions, covering the entire sky.
Zuixianglou.
Together with Mingyue Tower and Xiangshi Tower, it is known as the Three Towers of Imperial Capital City and is one of the three wonders of the Eight Wonders of Imperial Capital.
Mingyue Tower is famous for its "wine", where poetry and wine go hand in hand with elegance. Xiangshi Tower, as the name suggests, is famous for its "food", and the food in the tower is even better than the imperial cuisine in the palace.
The Zui Xiang Tower is the most beautiful in the capital city.
Xu Qing came to Zuixianglou at nightfall.
At the top of the building, there is a colorfully painted happy gate, with red and green guards, crimson and green curtains, and gold-covered red gauze gardenia lanterns decorating the halls, courtyards and corridors.
There was a faint scent of rouge in the air, and a hint of heather.
As you enter, you can see two corridors, north and south, both of which are equipped with comfortable seats.
The lights in various places in the building were bright, illuminating each other from top to bottom, as bright as day, yet covered with an ambiguous halo.
Beautiful ladies, all in their best makeup and clothes, smiled sweetly and competed for beauty. Each of them was stunningly beautiful and looked like a fairy.
To ordinary people, these beauties are indeed fairies because they are all cultivators.
"Customer." An old brothel owner suddenly came up to Xu Qing, shaking her hips.
"You look unfamiliar, is this your first time here?"
This Zui Xiang Lou is not an ordinary brothel. It has always only received distinguished guests. Even if cultivators come, they are not allowed to enter unless they have reached a certain level.
So the madam can recognize unfamiliar faces at a glance.
Xu Qing nodded and showed the token of the Arctic Exorcism Institute.
He knew that Zui Xiang Lou had its own rules, and once he entered, it didn't matter whether he could become the lover of a certain fairy or not.
At least the hundred taels of silver have been spent.
It's a pity that he didn't come here for fun.
"Sir." The madam looked at the token in Xu Qing's hand, shook her head and chuckled, "My Zui Xiang Lou is not like other places. Even if a prince comes, don't think you can get it for free with just your identity."
"I'm not here for pleasure. I want a private room on the top floor without any women."
"You can go to the Arctic Exorcism Institute to collect the money when the time comes."
The madam still shook her head: "This gentleman is not here for pleasure, and I am unwilling to receive you in Zui Xiang Lou."
"No evil incidents have ever happened in my Zui Xiang Lou. Your reputation has no effect on me!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the person standing behind Zui Xiang Lou is King Jing!"
Who is King Jing? He is your Majesty's younger brother, a biological brother from the same mother. No one in the imperial capital dares not to give this gentleman some face.
"Is he so powerful? I just razed their palace to the ground a while ago."
As soon as these words came out, the old procuress's face instantly stiffened.
The fact that the Arctic Exorcism Institute razed Prince Jing's mansion and captured the prince and the princess is now known to everyone in the entire Imperial Capital.
But the madam didn't expect that it was the man in front of her who did it.
"Sir, would you like a private room on the top floor? I'll prepare it right away." The madam immediately changed her expression and smiled flatteringly.
Rumor has it that the man who razed the palace to the ground beat Princess Jing half to death on the spot. He was not someone she could afford to offend!
