328. 322: Cursed
When they arrived at the Longjing Teahouse, Bai Yuzhu paid for the car, and Tang Li and Hua Yuying helped the old man get out of the car, the old man claimed that his surname was He, and Tang Li and Hua Yuying simply called him Grandpa He, because he was seventy-eight years old, and it was more than enough to be Tang Li and Hua Yuying's grandfather.
"Slow down." Tang Li saw the threshold of the teahouse and reminded him carefully.
He Lao smiled: "I walk every day, I'm used to it, you don't have to worry about me." β
"Yo!" The shopkeeper of the teahouse saw that He Lao was actually walked in by two little girls who were like flowers and jades today, and exclaimed, "He Lao, what is going on with you today?" And someone to help you come? β
He Lao replied a little embarrassedly: "These two girls were kind, helped me solve some troubles on the way, and brought me here by the way." β
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's it, then you go and prepare to tell the story, aren't you going to talk about the Black Moon Pavilion today?" Inform me that I've let them out for you. β
The Black Moon Pavilion is the number one organization in the rivers and lakes, mysterious and unpredictable, who doesn't want to hear about it?
Bai Yuzhu, who had just walked in, heard this, and immediately became puzzled, did this He Lao know about the Black Moon Pavilion? He wanted to laugh a little again, if Nangong was absolutely there, it would be really lucky, and he had a commentary session today!
But no, Nangong Jue looked coldly at the few people who walked in, Bai Yuzhu was really haunted, probably expecting that he would come to the most lively teahouse to investigate, so he came over, but why did he bring Tang Li over? Nangong Jue and the Black Moon Pavilion, he didn't want Tang Li and them to know.
"It's Miss Tang." Lu Mengyao also saw Tang Li, and she said with some surprise.
Nangong Jue retracted his gaze: "Hmm." β
Tang Li helped He Lao up to a relatively high platform, which was specially used to tell stories to the storyteller, there was a table and chair on the platform, He Lao was old, and he was originally going to stand to tell the story, but he usually sit.
When he stepped off the stage amid everyone's whispering, Tang Li saw Nangong Jue who was bowing his head and drinking tea, while Bai Yuzhu and Hua Yuying no longer knew when they were sitting beside them.
"Miss Tang, come here!" Bai Yuzhu hurriedly beckoned to Tang Li.
Tang Li suddenly understood a little why Bai Yuzhu had to come here by himself, although he didn't know how Bai Yuzhu knew that Nangong Jue would appear here, but he was also quite desperate in order to match himself with Nangong Jue, Tang Li suddenly felt that Bai Yuzhu's little face was not so bad.
"Ahem, you're here too." Tang Li walked in front of Nangong Jue and sat down, and said hello first.
Nangong Jue replied lightly: "Hmm." β
"What a coincidence." Lu Mengyao looked at Tang Li and replied.
Unfortunately, this was all pulled by Bai Yuzhu alive. Tang Li said in her heart, but on the surface, she still replied politely: "Yes, fate, you can meet it when you come to drink tea." β
Lu Mengyao didn't like this fate at all, she sat on the left hand side of Nangong Jue, Bai Yuzhu sat on the right hand side of Nangong Jue, Tang Li sat opposite, and Hua Yuying sat on Bai Yuzhu.
Nangong Jue could see Tang Li's face as soon as he looked up, so he tried not to look up, but drank tea.
Tang Li is so depressed, is this shy? At this moment, He Lao's voice sounded in the teahouse, and the teahouse that was still noisy just now suddenly quieted, Tang Li suddenly remembered something, and took out two veils from his arms, one for himself to wear, and the other to Nangong Jue: "Do you wear it??" β
Tang Li Ke always remembered that he had dinner with Nangong Jue last time and was recognized by the people of Qinglan Kingdom, it was too cheating, so he had to be cautious now.
"No." Nangong Jue rejected Tang Li's kindness.
Tang Li stupidly took back the veil, and if she didn't wear it, she didn't wear it, but she also specially brought an extra piece, just to avoid not having enough when she met Nangong Jue by chance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today I will tell you about the number one organization in the rivers and lakes, the Black Moon Pavilion." He Lao's voice sounded in the teahouse, although it was a little hoarse, but the voice was quite loud, Tang Li and they could hear it when they sat far away, and Bai Yuzhu and Nangong Jue were the fastest to concentrate on listening.
"The time when the Black Moon Pavilion was founded is already unsearchable, in short, it is a long, long time, until it has developed to the current forty-two branches on the third floor and one pavilion, which is quite perfect, I think everyone has also heard of some things about the Black Moon Pavilion, and I don't know how to say everything I want to say, why don't you ask questions, if you have any doubts about the Black Moon Pavilion, I will answer." He Lao said on the stage.
Someone in the audience immediately asked: "He Lao, I just want to ask if the two girls who helped you here today are married?" β
When the others heard this, they immediately laughed.
Before he finished laughing, he heard the person who asked the question cry out in pain, his head was smashed by a teacup and bleed, he covered his head, looked at Nangong Jue's table, Bai Yuzhu shrugged: "If you are so boring, I will smash it today until you can't get out." β
Everyone is living outside, and most people will walk around the rivers and lakes a few times, and they will know the level of the other party by looking at Bai Yuzhu's skills, so the person who asked the question didn't dare to say anything even if he was smashed, so he could only sit there and no longer talk nonsense, but honestly listen to what He Lao said.
One person asked again: "Elder He, didn't you say that the Black Moon Pavilion is very powerful?" How big is it? β
He Lao paused slightly, stroked his white beard, and said with a smile: "Cheng dΓΉ, who is alone in the martial arts, eats all black and white." β
"Can it be compared to the royal forces?" Someone then asked.
"How do you compare this? The headquarters of the Black Moon Pavilion is from the Cangxing Country, so naturally they are the people of the Cangxing Country, and their own people will have a war with their own country? So this can't be compared. He Lao said.
"Is the Black Moon Pavilion more powerful in assassination, or is it more powerful in intelligence?"
"Assassination, the word of intelligence is generally not accepted, unless it is related to the royal family, or there are many, many honorariums." He Lao's words caused a burst of laughter, it turned out that the Black Moon Pavilion also liked silver so much.
Bai Yuzhu listened to the conversation between He Lao and the other tea guests, and the interest in his eyes became stronger and stronger, this old man was really clear about the affairs of the Black Moon Pavilion, many things were not clear to him, the son of Yuzhu, and he couldn't make a conclusion, he actually said it so clearly.
And Nangong Jue didn't have any expression, he just listened to He Lao's words, and then judged in his heart how true and how false it was, after all, storytelling is storytelling, and many times there will be exaggerated elements.
Nangong Jue noticed that there were several people looking this way, mainly looking at Bai Yuzhu, there was some respect in their eyes, and they nodded slightly to say hello, these should be the people of the Black Moon Pavilion.
"Elder He, why don't you talk about the pavilion master of the Black Moon Pavilion, isn't there no pavilion master now? Do you know where the Pavilion Master has gone? A tea guest asked.
As soon as the question came out, the teahouse fell into an eerie silence, He Lao did not answer as quickly as he did just now, but sat there with a somewhat stunned expression, until someone else urged, he slowly shook his head: "I don't know, this has always been a mystery, I still haven't known." β
"Cut! That's the most talked-about content! A person said disdainfully: "It is also rumored that the Black Moon Pavilion is looking for new pavilion masters everywhere, and those three landlords are unwilling to be pavilion masters." β
"Why? If I don't do it, I'll do it, and I don't want such a good position. The other hurriedly answered.
"How do we know what people think, maybe I'm afraid that one of them will do it, and the others will have ideas in their hearts, you see, you are also the landlord, I am also the landlord, why don't I do it if you are the pavilion master?" The man said.
Everyone agrees with this statement: "It makes sense, isn't the Black Moon Pavilion famous for its unity?" β
This is simply the praise meeting of the Black Moon Pavilion! Bai Yuzhu's eyebrows were full of joy, now I see what Nangong Jue doesn't believe, as long as Nangong Jue believes it, won't there be a new pavilion master?
"Not really." He Lao interrupted that person's words loudly: "It's because every pavilion master will die mysteriously, this is the curse of the Black Moon Pavilion." β
Now everyone was stunned, there was still such a thing? Bai Yuzhu's face also changed, he never knew that the Black Moon Pavilion had this kind of curse, the Black Moon Pavilion did not have any record of the previous pavilion master, only knew that one pavilion master would pass the position to the next one before leaving, as for where the previous one would go, the Black Moon Pavilion would not investigate more.
Nangong Jue's razor-sharp eyes swept towards Bai Yuzhu, and died mysteriously? Sure enough, Bai Yuzhu is a bureau?
Bai Yuzhu was really wronged in his heart, he didn't speak, but continued to listen to He Lao's explanation: "The source of this curse is a secret book of the Black Moon Pavilion, and cultivating the martial arts in it will increase the power skyrocketing, but at a certain time, it will backfire." If you can survive if you can stand it, if you can't stand it, you can only die, but every pavilion master can't stand it, that kind of cheats, do you dare to repair it? β
Everyone shook their heads again and again, they thought that they were not as good as the pavilion master of the Black Moon Pavilion, the pavilion master couldn't survive, and they said that they were a group of ants?
"Can't you stop repairing it?" Someone asked.
"No, it's mandatory." He Lao said: "This is a necessary condition for becoming the Pavilion Master of the Black Moon Pavilion, otherwise how can you have the ability to invoke the power of the Black Moon Pavilion?" β
Bai Yuzhu listened to He Lao's words, it seems that it is necessary to talk to this old man later, who is he? How could he know that even Bai Yuzhu didn't know about the Black Moon Pavilion? Bai Yuzhu and the other two landlords don't want to be the pavilion master just because they need to check and balance each other, the golden triangle can't be broken, and the most qualified Bai Yuzhu has no intention of being the pavilion master, what's the curse on?
Why did the previous cabinet master disappear without succession?
But the black mist at the bottom of Nangong's absolute eyes became thicker and thicker, he looked at Bai Yuzhu's equally stunned look, and knew that Bai Yuzhu did not deceive him, is the curse only now known to the world? He glanced at Tang Li, if he wanted to join the Black Moon Pavilion, he wouldn't be able to sue Tang Li and Lu Mengyao, because they would oppose it very much.
Whether it is Tang Li or Lu Mengyao, they will not agree to Nangong to change the position of the pavilion master, even if it is for the good of everyone, they will not agree.
