Chapter 21: The Storyteller (I)

Folding the fan for a moment, heaven and earth. The prosperity and decline of honor and disgrace, the beauty relies on the railing.......

Storytellers, in the world of martial arts novels, are always an indispensable role.

The things they talk about are always full of excitement, and no matter who they are, they want to hear it.

Listening to the stories of these heroes and martial arts heroes, you will unconsciously integrate yourself with the characters in the story, and the depression in your heart will be vented unconsciously.

On the table by the window of a restaurant, an old man in a blue cloth robe, with gray hair, was smoking a dry cigarette there with his eyes closed.

There was a very young girl beside him, with two big braids, and a pair of big eyes that were dark and bright, and when her eyes turned, it seemed that she could hook a man's soul.

The old man in the blue shirt knocked the dry tobacco pouch on the table, coughed a few times, and said, "Hong'er, is the time come?" ”

The pigtailed girl said, "It's time." ”

Only then did the old man open his eyes, and although he was old and dry, his eyes were very young. I saw the old man holding a bowl of tea, taking a few sips of tea, and then said slowly: "The plum blossom thief does all kinds of evil, and Tanhualang is righteous and squanders money." Do you know who these two people I'm talking about? ”

The pigtailed girl shook her head and said, "Who are these two?" I don't think I've heard of it. ”

The old gentleman smiled and said: "Then you are really lonely and unheard, when it comes to these two people, they are really famous, 'plum blossom thieves' have only appeared twice for decades, but in the two rivers and green forest roads, thousands of cases done by thousands of heroes are not as many as him." ”

The pigtailed girl stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "It's amazing...... But who is that Tanhualang? ”

The old gentleman said: "This person is a son of a family, and he has been outstanding for generations. He was not only generous and bold, but also both civil and military. Not only did he win the imperial examination, but even the ranking of the weapons spectrum in the martial arts was also Tanhua. Therefore, it is often called 'Xiao Li Tanhua'. ”

The pigtail girl said, "Is what Grandpa wants to talk about today about the story of the two of them?" ”

The old gentleman said, "Not bad." ”

The pigtailed girl clapped her hands and laughed, "That must sound great, but ...... It's just that the dignified Tanhualang, how could he be involved with the infamous plum blossom thief? ”

The old gentleman said: "There is a reason for this. ”

The pigtailed girl said, "What's the truth?" ”

The old gentleman said: "Well, it's a long story, and listen to me carefully......."

These two people, one handful and one teasing. The ups and downs of the talk, the guests listened to it with fascination and applauded continuously.

Speaking of Li Xunhuan in Xingyunzhuang, how he was captured in ambush, the guests couldn't help but sigh. When talking about how Lin Xian'er was robbed in the middle of the night, how fast the young Ah Fei's sword was, and how he rescued her, it attracted a burst of applause.

The pigtailed girl said, "In this way, isn't the plum blossom thief dead at the hands of that ...... 'flying swordsman'?" ”

The old gentleman said: "But Uncle Zhao and Tian Qiye think that what he killed was not the plum blossom thief, but Li Xunhuan was the real plum blossom thief." ”

The pigtailed girl said, "So who is the real plum thief?" ”

The old gentleman sighed: "No one has ever seen a real plum blossom thief, and no one knows which one is real and which one is fake." But Uncle Zhao and Uncle Tian have different identities, they always say that Li Xunhuan is a plum blossom thief, and others have to say that Li Xunhuan is a plum blossom thief, so Master Xinmei will escort him back to Shaolin Temple. ”

He took another puff of cigarette and slowly continued: "Who knew that when I arrived at Shaolin Temple, it turned out to be Li Tanhua who sent Master Xinmei back." ”

The old gentleman said: "It turned out that Master Xinmei and the four Shaolin disciples who escorted him were poisoned by the Lord of Miaojiang Bliss on the way, and Master Xinmei was poisoned before releasing Li Xunhuan, Li Xunhuan saw that he had been poisoned deeply, and only there might be an antidote in the Shaolin Temple, so he escorted him back." ”

The pigtail girl gave a thumbs up and praised: "This Li Tanhua is really a big hero and a hero, if he was replaced by someone else, he would have been unwilling to go in this case, how could he save him?" ”

The old gentleman said: "Although the words are good, it's a pity that the Shaolin monks are not only grateful to him, but also want to kill him." ”

The pigtailed girl was surprised, "Why? ”

The old gentleman said with a smile: "Because these words were said by Li Tanhua himself, the Shaolin monks didn't even believe a word of what he said." ”

The pigtailed girl said, "But...... But the Heart Eyebrow Master should always confirm it for him. ”

The old gentleman smiled and said: "It's a pity that Master Xinmei passed away as soon as he returned to Shaolin, except for Master Xinmei, there is no second person in the world who knows the truth of this matter!" ”

Speaking of this, the four couldn't help but sigh.

The old gentleman glanced at him, there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and said slowly: "Although the leader of Shaolin Temple is Wulin, and all his disciples are top masters, it is not easy to kill Li Tanhua. ”

The pigtail girl also glanced at Ah Fei and said, "But two fists are difficult to match four hands, and a good man can't stand a lot of people, even if Li Tanhua is invincible in the world, how can he stop the eight hundred disciples of Shaolin Temple?" ”

The old gentleman said: "Even though there are 800 disciples in Shaolin Temple and countless good players, who dares to take the lead?" Who would dare to pick up Xiao Li Tanhua's first knife?! ”

The pigtailed girl heard this, her eyebrows fluttered, and she clapped her hands and said: "Yes, Xiao Li Shendao, the example is not vain, even if there are eight hundred disciples in Shaolin Temple, they must not be able to hurt him, he is only afraid that he has already left." ”

The old gentleman said, "He hasn't left yet." ”

The girl with the pigtails seemed stunned and said, "Why? ”

The old gentleman said with a smile: "Although the Shaolin disciple can't hurt him, he can't kill the Shaolin disciples' encirclement, at this moment, the right and wrong are unclear, the truth is not revealed, and he can't leave." ”

The pigtailed girl said, "He can neither walk nor fight, so what should he do?" ”

The old gentleman said: "He is surrounded by 800 disciples, if the flying knife is shot, he will definitely die, just because the Shaolin disciples are afraid of the knife in his hand, and no matter how strong his flying knife is, it can't kill 800 disciples." ”

The pigtailed girl said, "But it won't work like this!" There will always be times when a person can't support it. ”

The old gentleman said: "At that time, the place where they spoke was outside the meditation room where Master Xinmei passed away, and the two sides stiffened, and Li Tanhua took the opportunity to rush into the meditation room. ”

The pigtailed girl lost her voice and said, "In this way, didn't he trap himself to death?" ”

The old gentleman said: "The Shaolin disciple didn't expect him to rush outside, but he was desperate, so he rushed into the meditation room, and it was too late to regret it." ”

The pigtailed girl said, "Regret? Li Xunhuan has already fallen into a dead end, why should they regret it? ”

The old gentleman continued: "There is not only the relics of Master Xinmei in the meditation room, but also a classic treasured in the Shaolin Temple. ”

The pigtailed girl said: "But they always surround this meditation room outside, and in a few days, Xiao Li Tanhua will be starved to death and die of thirst!" ”

The old gentleman said: "The Shaolin disciples must have also fought this idea, how could their fifth uncle Xinshu still stay in the meditation room, and they were restrained by Li Tanhua, can they starve their fifth uncle to death together?" ”

The pigtailed girl said, "Of course not. ”

The old gentleman said: "So they can only send food and water in, Xinshu can't starve to death, and Li Tanhua naturally can't starve to death." ”

The pigtail girl clapped her hands and smiled: "Shaolin Temple is known as the holy land of martial arts, for hundreds of years, no one dares to take a step beyond Lei Chi, but Li Tanhua single-handedly turned Shaolin Temple into trouble, Shaolin eight hundred disciples not only have nothing to do with him, but also have to invite him to eat and drink every day, and they are afraid that the things sent will not meet his liking......

She chuckled and said, "This Li Tanhua is really a great character, this story is really good." ”

But Mr. Sun let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, Li Tanhua is indeed a great hero, but it's a pity that sooner or later, this big hero will inevitably have to bury his bones in Shaolin Temple." ”

The pigtailed girl said, "Why? ”

The old gentleman sighed and said, "Unless someone can prove that Li Xunhuan is not a plum blossom thief, and can prove that Master Xinmei was indeed killed by the Five Poison Boys, the Shaolin disciples will never let him go!" ”

The pigtailed girl said, "Who can prove it for him?" ”

The old gentleman was silent for a long time, and sighed: "In the whole world, I'm afraid that there is not even one person!" ”

The pigtailed girl said, "What about his friends?" Isn't there anyone willing to save him? ”

The old gentleman sighed again and said, "He does have two amazing friends. Just ......"

The pigtailed girl hurriedly asked, "Just what?" Who are these 2 friends? ”

The old gentleman was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "These two people." One is the 'flying swordsman' Ah Fei just mentioned. One is the 'Ruthless Knife' Lu Wuxian. ”
