Chapter 3: The Legend of the Two Swords
Lin Wan dragged Qin Yu into the crowd and looked inside the building. She was excited to find that in fact, there were still many vacant seats in the auditorium inside, and these passers-by outside the door were probably just trying to listen to a story, and were unwilling to spend money to enter the door to taste tea, right?
At this time, Qin Yu beckoned, and the little guy leaned over with a smile, glanced at the two of them and said, "Do you want to taste tea, or dim sum, or just listen to the story?" ”
"These, is that enough?"
Qin Yu didn't answer, but the ingot of silver that he took out made the little guy dazzled, "Enough...... Two guest officers, please come here. ”
Immediately, the little maid led them into the audience.
There are teacups and snacks in front of him, and there is a small guy who specializes in pouring tea next to him.
This plate of pastries is delicate and small, one bite at a time, sweet but not greasy.
Lin Wan looked around, elegant and chic, and the decoration was good!
The main hall has a stage raised above the ground, and a sandalwood table and a chair are placed on the stage.
On the chair sat an old storyteller with a white beard.
I saw the old storyteller shaking a fan and slowly telling the story.
This story seems to have just begun...... "Old man will tell a legend of the two swords that everyone knows today, but he doesn't know." ”
"A hundred years ago, there were three sworn brothers, one who knew the heavens and the earth, divined fortunes, and plotted to secure the country; A martial arts world-class, leading troops and leading generals, and shocking all directions; A true dragon son of heaven, sitting on the country, discerning talents. One day, the three of them were drinking tea in the pavilion as usual, but they heard the fortune teller and said heavily: Fifty years later, there will be a disaster of the country. The Emperor asked, "What kind of disaster is this, and how can it be prevented?" The prime minister shook his head and said: The destiny of heaven is like this, it can only be cured, and there is nothing to prevent. Later, the prime minister said a way to save the country...... That is, the blue spirit and the green man......"
The old storyteller asked the audience, "But do you know who of the three of them cast the blue spirit and the green mang?" ”
Everyone in the audience shook their heads one after another, waiting earnestly for the storyteller's next step.
At this time, Lin Wan cast her puzzled gaze on Qin Yu.
He chuckled and said, "I know, it's the general." ”
Lin Wan shook her head and asked, "What are Lan Lu and Lu Mang?" ”
As if he didn't expect her to ask like this, Qin Yu was a little stunned for a moment, and then a little incredulous, "Miss Lin, you really don't know the peerless double sword?" ”
Lin Wan couldn't think too much, and the storyteller interrupted her thoughts with a 'snap'.
The storyteller shook the folding fan in his hand, and when he saw that everyone had blank expressions, he proudly continued, "Actually, the three of them later decided to let the general forge the sword. Here's why... The general... From the land of voodoo, the Land of Night. ”
Everyone listened with relish, but the old storyteller's pause whipped their appetite, and a young man who couldn't bear it threw a bag of money on the stage, "And then?" Tell me, what's wrong with being from Night Country? Does it matter? ”
The old storyteller grinned and picked up the money bag, and continued, "The general forged the double sword, and the material used was a stone that fell from the sky. The stone is said to have been sent by the gods in the sky, and it is so hard that it can cut through steel and stone with a sword! The general forged the sword, but it didn't take long, but where did it grow? Grow in sword raising. If a sword wants to have a soul, it takes a lot of energy! In order to raise the sword, the general stole the Nine Shadows Fragrance Lotus, which was only cultivated in the Imperial Palace of the Night Country, collected the tears of seven hundred and forty-nine babies when they were born, and collected the morning dew of seven hundred and forty-nine days in the country of Yisu...... Every day, with blood and tears, with morning dew, with strength, he supports the double sword. ”
Everyone sighed, not to mention other anti-heaven formulas, even the Nine Shades Fragrance Lotus, everyone in the world knows that it is a priceless treasure, the kind that money may not necessarily see!
It is rumored that the Nine Shades Fragrance Lotus is a strange flower that can only be used by the royal family in the dark night, this flower is extremely cold, if someone touches it with their hands, it will be frozen into ice in an instant!
In addition, the number is very small, and its effect is to preserve the corpse from decay.
But why did this sword use this flower?
"It took forty years for the general to forge a sword and raise a sword, and the boys became white-headed. Xu is the fortune teller broke the heavens, just began to cast the sword, he has gone west, later, only the emperor and the general are left to realize the original agreement, cast into a double sword, to protect this land. But the good times did not last long, the emperor's body has always been very weak, and he often falls ill, even his only son is so frail and sick. When the general forged the sword for twenty years, the emperor also died, and his son Shang Yuan succeeded to the throne. ”
The old storyteller sighed, lamenting the impermanence of the world, so the old man said to go and go.
He expressed a thoughtful expression: "Actually, according to reason, these two swords should be a merciful thing, a collection of the purest things in the world, but why do they have another side of evil? ”
Everyone looked at me again and I looked at you, and shook their heads.
Lin Wan once again cast her puzzled gaze on Qin Yu, "The Blue Spirit Divine Sword has the power to snatch the soul from the sword, killing people invisibly; The Green Mang Divine Sword has the demonic power of the sword to hook the soul, which can make people lose their minds and even obey its orders......"
Qin Yu sighed, his voice was very small, as if he was muttering to himself, "Don't talk about the double sword, if I could have a green mangshen sword back then... Maybe... I'll be able to save her......"
Lin Wan was stunned, thinking that she had misheard, was Qin Yu talking just now?
The storyteller looked around pretendically, lowered his voice, and for a moment the atmosphere around him was full of tension and heaviness, "Emperor Shang Yuan knows the power and stakes of the twin swords, and he also knows the importance of the double swords to the kingdom of heaven at this moment, he is afraid that the general will take away the two treasures. After all, he is an emperor, and his suspicion must be extremely heavy. Later, Emperor Shang Yuan had to give a killing order for the sake of heaven, and on the night when the general's sword casting was about to be completed, he sent someone to assassinate the general...... The general contaminated the twin swords with resentful blood and soul...... This is now the double sword that kills people invisibly and seduces souls! ”
