That night, Liu Menghan had a performance. In fact, she usually worked in the evening and also had meals.
It's just that the place where she performed was not in the Ninth City, but in the Fifth City.
This place is located in the center of the entire Nine Rings of Chang'an, far away from the Nine Cities full of low-level people, and not close to the First City where the guards are tight and the atmosphere is oppressive.
This is where the dignitaries of the upper four cities and the wealthy businessmen of the lower four cities gather for exchanges. Although it is not as luxurious as the upper four cities, it has more freedom and vitality among the people. It is also not as vulgar as the lower four cities, but it is also
It has more elegance than that.
Therefore, it is popular among all walks of life. In fact, the fifth city is also the goal that many people in the lower four cities strive for throughout their lives. It is also the most dynamic core area in Chang'an.
In the most luxurious Liuli Garden in the fifth city, there are gathered the most outstanding actors in Chang'an. They can go up to the Forbidden Palace of the Imperial City and go down to the wine shops and neighborhoods. They have everything you need, each with its own characteristics.
When Zhizunbao first arrived, he knew nothing. He just changed into a boy's clothes and acted like a boy in a theater, serving tea and water and taking care of the guests.
Some guests find it interesting when they see a monkey among the servants, and they often ask Zhizunbao to perform some impromptu performances, such as somersaults and beam climbing.
Zhizunbao will remember Liu Menghan's instructions and try not to offend the guests if necessary, because those who come here are all wealthy businessmen and dignitaries.
Although on the surface he maintains his demeanor and seems to be fine if he offends him, if he encounters someone who is mean-spirited and resorts to some tricks behind his back, it is only a matter of a few clicks to make a theater boy disappear from the world.
Zhizunbao always remembers Liu Menghan's kindness and will never cause any trouble for her. Whatever performances the guests need, he will try his best to do what he can, making the guests laugh endlessly, and he will reward her with more than ten taels of silver.
This amount of money is enough for a middle-class family to live for half a year. In just half a night, Supreme Treasure has already earned hundreds of taels of silver, which only makes other human servants jealous.
When a person's eyes are red, his heart will also turn black.
Some small tricks against the Supreme Treasure were ready to be used in the second half of the night. However, at this time, the Supreme Treasure happened to be called by Liu Menghan who had finished his performance.
"You will get seven of these coins and I will get three of them, just like we agreed at the beginning."
Zhizunbao placed the money earned on Liu Menghan's table.
Liu Menghan was shocked, and soon thought that the Supreme Treasure was a rare, humane and non-wild spirit, so it was naturally easy for the wealthy businessmen and powerful people to pay attention to it and reward it.
"You earned all this money, but afterward, you called the other boys and gave them half of it, letting them divide the money among themselves."
Zhizunbao was very surprised by Liu Menghan's words. He obviously earned it himself, so why should he distribute the money to unrelated people?
But he didn't ask, just nodded seriously.
"You don't ask why?"
"Don't ask, because after dividing the money, I will definitely know the reason."
Liu Menghan was again surprised by Zhizunbao's intelligence. She said: "Okay, we'll talk about this later. Next, you have to protect me. I'm hungry and I need to find something to eat. You must wake me up after the clock is up."
I."
Zhizunbao nodded seriously and asked doubtfully: "Who protected you in the past?"
Liu Menghan said: "There is no one, so I pretend to be asleep and wait for someone to wake me up, but this often causes the theater owner to be dissatisfied."
Zhizunbao sat next to the hourglass sternly, staring closely.
This hourglass was introduced from the Western Regions and is made of transparent glass. The scale inside indicates the time. When the sand leaks out, it indicates that the night has passed. Then it will turn over under the action of the mechanism to record the hours of the day.
Liu Menghan smiled and said: "If you feel bored, I have a book here that you can take and read. They are all stories about gods and demons from ancient times. The human world no longer believes in these things, and most of them are only spread among the demon clan."
After Zhizunbao took the blue leather and thread-bound book, the word "Prehistoric" was written on it.
After opening it, the title of the first article is "Pangu Kaitian Ji".
Zhizunbao has also heard many myths and stories from Wei Zheng, but he has never heard of Pangu's name, let alone the creation of the sky.
There seems to be no such legend in the human world.
Seeing that Supreme Treasure seemed to like it, Liu Menghan smiled and said, "Just read this book yourself. Don't let the government discover it, let alone the Taoist and Buddhist sects. Not only will the book be burned, but both of us will have to go to prison."
Squat for a while."
Supreme Treasure said in surprise: "Why?"
"They say that this is a cult book, but I once heard a senior from the demon clan say that this is history.
But who knows? Since we live in the human world, we must abide by the laws of the human world, so just be careful."
"Oh, okay, Miss Menghan, go look for food quickly, otherwise you will have to play the piano again."
Liu Menghan sighed helplessly, with a mentality of working as a worker to make things worse. She sat at the table, pretending to read a book, and played with a white jade talisman in her hand. If you look closely, you will find that this jade talisman is in harmony with Luo Jianming.
The batch Suyu took away was exactly the same.
Liu Menghan, who was playing with the jade talisman, quickly entered a state of trance and dived into the sea of human collective consciousness in the huge city of Chang'an.
It's a strange place, everyone's dreams are very strange, and all dreams have their boundaries.
Unless we dive deeper into the sea of consciousness, the boundaries of everyone's subconscious will be broken, and dreams will blend with each other, presenting scenes that are sometimes warm, sometimes terrifying, sometimes violent, and sometimes silent.
If you enter it without protection, your consciousness will be annihilated by its influence and become dust inside. It is an area where gods and Buddhas must be very careful. It is also where the consciousness of all creatures in the world resonates. A certain kind of civilization created based on
The gods were born here to protect the creatures in this world.
Liu Menghan would certainly not enter that kind of place if he wanted to look for food.
In this relatively safe layer of dream consciousness, she transformed into her true form, a creature that resembled a panda with an elephant trunk, rhinoceros eyes, ox tail, and tiger feet.
Dream tapirs feed on dreams, but of all dreams, their favorite is nightmares, which are a rare delicacy.
Liu Menghan likes Chang'an because Chang'an has a huge population and the largest floating population in the world.
Here you can eat new and different nightmares every day, and you can also get a glimpse of the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of different people in different regions from the nightmares.
But she was still very careful and rarely entered the Upper Four Cities because there were many powerful warriors and warlocks there who could slay demons even in their dreams.
Moreover, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries there. If you glimpse some secrets that you shouldn't know from your dreams, and they happen to be sensed by these dignitaries through mysterious means, then you may be hunted down by the world.
But today, over in the Second City, there is a nightmare as terrifying as hell that is covering half of the dreamland sky.
Liu Menghan couldn't imagine how anyone could have such a terrifying nightmare. This was something she had never seen in her entire life.
That dream was so terrifying, it was like hell reappearing on earth.
But it is precisely because of the fear that he has a strong attraction to Liu Menghan.
What Meng Tapir likes is nightmares. Such nightmares are like a luxurious banquet like a Manchu banquet placed in front of Taotie. How can Taotie endure it?
So Liu Menghan violated the rules he had set for himself for the first time and entered the second city in the dream.
Looking at that hellish scene, she drooled and fiercely broke through the dream barrier and entered it!
