After Ayis and the others left, Qiulan complained to her master while cleaning up the mess.
"Master, Erzhu and the others have been going out at night more and more frequently recently. Are you going to care or not?”Qiulan stomped her foot and said coquettishly.
"This…They're men who have been busy all day. It's not a big deal for them to go and relax at night! Aren't you making a fuss over nothing?" As a man who could have three wives and four concubines in the Central Plains, Villa Master Xu said disapprovingly.
"Master, you don't know where they went? Let me tell you, they must have gone to the sacred temple to find a sacred prostitute. I know that even if I use my ass to think.”Qiulan patted her butt.
"This little girl, ten years ago, she was as docile as a little rabbit, not even daring to raise her head when talking to strangers. Now, she has become independent, mature, and unrestrained. She is completely different from before. He had done as the romans did. Of course, he didn't bring the sacred prostitute along, but he didn't allow men to do as the romans did. It was true that the state officials were allowed to set fires, but the common people were not allowed to light lamps.”
When Old Villa Head Xu brought 3,000 boys and girls here, they were so helpless. Actually, Old Villa Head Xu didn't feel confident at that time either. However, he had to pretend to be a hero who would stand up for him even if the sky fell down. Only in this way could he appease everyone's panic.
"Hey, I brought everyone here. I have to be responsible for them. No matter what, I have to grit my teeth and hold up the sky! They had finally survived the difficult and uneasy years. Now, they had a stable foothold in this prosperous country. They had finally let them down.”Xu Laozhuang consoled himself. He often sighed like this.
"Okay, okay, okay. Master will interrogate them for you.”Old Master Kong was right. In this world, only villains and little girls are hard to raise. I just don't want to be in the fifth rank with women, Village Head Xu thought to himself.
The sky gradually darkened, and the dark and quiet night in Babylon was always filled with uneasiness.
"Master, they sneaked out again! This time, I'll catch Erzhu on the spot. Qiulan rubbed her fists and pretended to fight.
"Hey, you're a woman. Where do you think you're going so late at night? What a disgrace. Be careful not to be treated as a sacred prostitute.”Old Villa Master Xu put on a coat. The temperature difference between day and night in Babylon was huge.
" Wait at home and see if the children kicked their blankets. Master will go and look for them." After saying that, she left.
Old Villa Head Xu walked directly to the front door of the Aphrodite Temple. There were two guards drinking and chatting in front of the door. From time to time, there would be people entering the temple in high spirits. There would also be radiant and exhausted men walking out of the temple.
Village Master Xu paced back and forth in front of the door hesitantly. Finally, he mustered up his courage and rushed into the temple.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the guards who were chatting. What are you doing?" A guard looked at Old Villa Head Xu with disdain.
"Sigh! I say, why didn't you ask when someone else went in?”Village Head Xu asked in confusion.
The two guards looked at each other and smiled." Our temple doesn't accept outsiders. You're not one of us, right?"”
"What do you mean by not accepting outsiders? Then how did my disciples enter?”Old Villa Head Xu hesitated for a moment and explained with a guilty conscience,"No, I just went in to look for someone…It's not what you think.”
The two guards laughed even harder." Hahaha…I say, Old Master, you should go back and hug your grandchildren! Even if you want to, I'm afraid you don't have the strength to get up! " Hahaha…" The two guards held their bellies and laughed, not giving him any face at all.
Old Villa Head Xu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him."Do you believe that I will lift you up one by one with each hand and see if I have the strength? Why don't you ask who I am? I am the richest man in Babylon. Even your king has to respect me.”If the sky wasn't dark, one would definitely be able to see how red Elder Xu's face was.
Just as Village Head Xu was about to roll up his sleeves and teach them a lesson, more than a dozen golden-haired men came out of the gate. When they saw Village Head Xu, they immediately walked away in a secretive manner. Seeing that something was amiss, Village Master Xu followed behind him. Then, he slowed down and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The dozen men stopped not far from the gate of Xu Manor. They took off their wigs and looked back."Master, you don't suspect anything, right?”
" Strange, why did Master appear at the temple tonight? Is he going to catch us, or..."
" Hahaha…" Everyone laughed ambiguously.
"How was your night? Mine was pretty good!”A handsome man raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.
"You guys are good. You've picked all of them, leaving me with a Yaksha.”The young man with a face full of beans wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Hahaha…When that Yaksha saw Qiang Zi throwing money at her, she cried tears of joy! He was thanking the heavens! I heard that she has been in the temple for three years, and the men in Babylon don't want her. Qiang Zi, you've done a good thing! Hahaha…"
Everyone laughed again.
"I say, Qiang Zi, don't feel wronged. How could she say that she's a virgin! I didn't disgrace you." The one who said this was Qiulan's husband, Erzhu.
"No, no," Qiang Zi rubbed his head, finally regaining some face.
Suddenly, Er Zhu shouted loudly as he was hit on the head.
"Aiyo! Who dares to hit me?" When he turned around, he found Village Master Xu standing behind him.
"What? Who is your father?" Old Villa Head Xu placed his hands behind his back and said in a dignified manner.
"No, no, you're the old man, you're the old man, hehe! Hehe! However, why are you here, Master?”Er Zhu smiled apologetically.
"You little brats, how dare you sneak into the temple in disguise. Useless, just wait to go home and kneel on the washboard!”After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door. The disciples 'expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly followed.
"Master, don't, don't. Let's talk things out! At most, we'll bring you along next time. I guarantee that you won't be stopped outside the door, okay?”The disciples all agreed. The door was opened and everyone entered.
The night returned to its silence, and a chilly wind blew in the silent night. At the end of an empty street corner, there were two floating shadows, shivering. They had their hair down, looking like ghosts with green faces and wolf fangs. Tears and blood flowed from her eyes, and her skin was as white as paper under her thin black cloak. The weather in Babylon was so hot, but they were hunched over and trembling.
One of them said," Who was that old man just now? He was so ethereal and exuded a pure sense of justice. Even the gods of Olympus rarely have such an aura. It made us brothers feel so uncomfortable."”
The other one continued," There is no divine light on his body. It should not be from the sky. It seems that we have to find two fresh corpses as soon as possible so that our souls can return." With a soulless corpse, we can combine our soul and body to unleash the power of our thousand-year-old devil souls. "If we absorb more human blood, we won't have to be afraid of these immortals on the ground or the true immortals and gods in the sky.”After saying that, he used his white and wrinkled bony hand to wipe away the tears and blood, and then wiped away the nose water that was forced out by the cold air.
"Yes, this matter can't be delayed any longer. When we recover our vitality, we'll immediately go and find him. However, they have to be soulless and fresh. It's very difficult, and we can't kill them ourselves. In this day and age, it was already so difficult to even become a respectable ghost. If he had known this would happen, he would have behaved himself when he first arrived in Underworld. Why would he offend the Young Master of Underworld?”
"Who knew that the Nether King would have an illegitimate child? He even brought it with him. We're new here, how can you blame us for being blind? This is great, we can't join Samsara. I'll always be a soul without a master."
"How can it be a lonely soul? Don't you have a companion?”He pointed at himself.
"Alright, isn't there a saying that goes, since you're here, take it as it is? Heh, I heard that old fellow say it last time. I think it should be this: Since you're here, you're safe.”The ghost face couldn't help but reveal a smug expression.
"Is that what you mean? Wow, you're amazing. You even know Chinese.”He cracked his mouth and revealed his sharp teeth as he smiled obsequiously. His eyes were filled with worship and were unusually passionate.
It was late at night, and the cold wind began to blow. The two ghosts were even colder. They could only float on the spot for a while longer, wiping their noses and chatting. The cold wind was blowing, and the street canvas was flapping. Two evil spirits were chatting, and even the mice did not dare to come out tonight.
