Chapter 69 The ghost realm full of temptation (2)
I originally thought I would encounter many dangerous things along the way, but I never expected that the biggest difficulty was how to find a way. The surrounding scenery looked the same. The only thing I could do was to walk based on my feelings. However, this trick was not easy to use. After walking for a long time, I still didn't see anyone.
"Old man, is there any good way?" I couldn't help asking, "No." His answer was very straightforward, but then added, "Don't be anxious, it's useless. We should be close to the center of the house now. As long as we go around for a long time, we will always find the way there." "I understand." I agreed helplessly and continued to walk around like a headless fly.
After walking for a long time, a 'Ding'-shaped intersection appeared in front of me, with passages on both sides of the left and right. I was hesitating whether to walk to the left or to the right, but suddenly I saw dozens of people walking out of the left intersection in neat formations.
After walking for so long, I finally saw people. To be precise, they should be just something that looks very similar to people. They are all wearing uniform clothes, coarse cloth, and dark blue, just like the clothes of servants in costume dramas. Moreover, these people not only have uniform clothes, but also have uniform figures and ages. They all look fifteen or sixteen years old. They are slender, about 1.7 meters tall, and they are all very handsome, completely meeting the standards of modern young and handsome men. Everyone holds a large tray in their hands, with exquisite plates on them, but they are all covered with lids. I don’t know what is inside.
It is not difficult to see that these people have been strictly trained because their tray-holding movements and walking postures are exactly the same. They just step on the ground without making any sound. Even if they think about it with their knees, they will know what they are.
Even though I knew they were not humans, I was still excited and almost walked over and held their hands and said, "Comrade, I can find you."
However, although it was only a few meters away, these people turned a blind eye to the appearance of the old man and me, just like we were transparent, without even looking at us. Everyone walked into the passage on the right. Of course, the old man and I were following quickly. These people were obviously servants serving the banquet, and they would naturally find the center of the house.
I followed these people slowly a few meters behind them, but the people in front still had no reaction. I suspected that their appearance was intentionally arranged by the owner here, who came to lead the way. It seemed that the owner also wanted us to go there, and probably had already set up a formation, but I was not worried at all. Since I was ready to fight and was also ready to die, there was nothing to be afraid of the rest.
The house is really big. The people in front of them turned left and right, and after walking far, they didn't mean to stop. The old man and I had to follow closely. As we were walking, the old man suddenly put his face close to my ears and whispered, "Now I'm almost sure the owner here is a woman." "Why?" I asked in an equally small voice, "Because only the hostess will use so many young and beautiful male servants. If it is the male master, he will definitely only use young and beautiful maids."
I have to admit that what the old man said makes sense, but I still couldn't help but reply, "What if the male owner here has a special hobby in that aspect?" "It's possible."
I didn't expect that the old man would be persuaded so easily by me. This was not his personality. I was a little strange in my heart, but suddenly I heard the old man's soft smirk, "You are still a boy chicken, but it's because you have special hobbies in that aspect." "You---!" I was so angry that I didn't know what to say, so I had to ignore him.
After walking here, the voices and operas became clearer and clearer. According to the direction of the sound, I could already determine the center of the house, which should be just a short distance ahead.
Sure enough, after turning a corner, a moon door appeared in front of me. There was a large courtyard with rockery, pavilion, and many flowers, plants and trees, which looked like a small garden.
A straight bluestone slab passed through the flowers and led to a house deep in the courtyard. This house was really big, so big that it surprised me. Although it was incomparable to modern skyscrapers, it was the largest I saw after coming to this world. It was like a small gymnasium, with hundreds of aunts dancing square dances inside.
Just as I was amazed, a group of people in front had already walked through the bluestone road and climbed several steps, and then walked straight into the house.
The old man and I stopped in front of the moon gate without moving. From where we were standing, we could roughly see the scene inside the house. There was a low table like a coffee table, with wine and dishes on the table. Although the distance was a bit far and I couldn't see what the dish was, it felt very delicate.
In this big house, there are many such low tables, which are neatly extended from the door to the innermost part of the house. There are several rows on both sides of the door. It is impossible to count how many tables there are for a while. There are two people sitting on the ground behind each low table, so I can't count how many people there are here, but it feels that there are at least one or two hundred, and everyone is drinking unscrupulously, noisy and noisy sounds are coming from the quiet night sky far away.
"No one sat on the table closest to the door." I whispered to the old man, "I saw that table should be the place left by the owner here for us." The old man also replied in a low voice, "What should we do? Go or not?" I didn't expect to meet so many people, and I felt a little worried, "Where can we go if we don't go here? Those who should come will always come," the old man said frankly.
Thinking about what the old man said was right, he strode towards the house with big steps. As soon as he reached the door, the noise in the house suddenly stopped, and only the sound of singing opera continued. Everyone in the house turned to look at the door, and hundreds of eyes were staring at us.
Since I was a child, I was often punished by the teacher to stand in class and then stared at by the whole class. However, at most, there were only a few dozen people, which was incomparable to the current situation. It made me feel uncomfortable in my whole body for a moment.
However, the old man's reaction was very calm. He glanced at the house carelessly, then walked directly to the seat behind the empty table beside the door. With such an excellent example, I felt much more at peace, so I also followed him and glared back at hundreds of eyes with a vicious look, and then walked over and sat next to the old man.
The house was still so quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to the table at the door as we moved. Only the sound of the opera still did not stop, and it was heard in a whisper, making the atmosphere look a little weird.
The old man showed extraordinary calmness at this time, completely ignored the eyes around him, and turned his head casually. Of course, I couldn't lose to him, and I also pretended to be nothing but obedient to observe the surrounding situation. Only when I figured out the terrain and started to fight for a while can I make full use of it. Unfortunately, my eyes no longer followed the command of my brain, and first stared at the wine and food on the table.
It’s not that I’m not promising, I’m really hungry, and the dish is really good. Although I still can’t tell what the ingredients are from such a close distance, it looks red, yellow, blue and green, and meaty and vegetable, which really makes people feel very appetizing. The most important thing is that there are still scents that spread into my nose, which stimulated my saliva and couldn’t help but go out, so I had to swallow it hard.
Even though I was so greedy, I didn’t dare to eat it at all. I didn’t have to think about it and knew that the dishes made by ghosts would definitely not be good things.
I remembered the plot of the White Bone Demon in "Journey to the West" turning a toad into a steamed bun when seducing Tang Monk and his disciples. I thought the vegetables on the plate desperately into toads lying on them. Then I felt a little better. Then I quickly diverted my attention and turned my head to look at the innermost part of the room. There was a stage where a man and a woman were singing on it. Although I couldn't understand what they were singing, it felt like it was the old-fashioned story of a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Now the two people on the stage are saying goodbye, as if the man is leaving, and the woman is sending him outside the city. The expressions of the two are very real, and their appearance and figure are enough to play the standard for acting, but the dress is a bit too alternative.
The man was pretty normal. He was wearing a young man's clothes, which was similar to the one on the serious stage. However, the clothes that the woman was wearing were made of the same material as the mosquito net, which was extremely thin and white gauze. The mutton slices in Donglaishun were thicker than it.
Such clothes can't cover any of them at all. You can clearly see everything under the white veil. The chest is tied with two glasses-sized cloth tied to a rope, barely covering the two raised dots. Under the belly is something that is more fabric-saving than the ***.
If this thing was thrown on the ground, I definitely don’t know what it is for. Now I just infer that this is a pair of underwear based on the position of the actress wearing it. There is almost no difference between wearing such underwear and not wearing it.
Apart from this actress, there was no trace of fabric on her body. If she dared to go to the street with this outfit, she would probably be beaten to death if she didn't die.
However, the man and woman on the stage didn't care about these things at all. They performed very vigorously, and the others in the house were also interested in such a performance. They quickly turned their attention away from us and turned back to the stage.
