Chapter 186: The Overworld (39)
The bright blue sword light carried a wisp of cold aura, making the blade of Ya Wushuang really like wind and rain.
Dressed in white, he walked between the giant axes wielded by his enemies, easily freehand, leaving a deep wound on each contact, while he was able to escape with his own body.
In the face of an opponent like Ya Wushuang, the tall man was also helpless, so he could only try to exchange injuries for injuries, trying to rely on hard eating Ya Wushuang's sword moves in exchange for the other party to expose his flaws.
But alas, even after seeing the short gap between attacks, he couldn't grasp this opportunity.
Just like the title "rain sword" given to him by Ya Wushuang, it is ethereal like rain, delicate and silent, but it can be violent and sudden.
So, when Ya Wushuang was fighting with gladiators from all walks of life, what was Tang Juyi doing?
He was telling a story to the little girl.
As a "guest" of King Du's mansion, Tang Juyi received special care from King Du and used a small courtyard with a good environment for Tang Juyi to live in.
Originally, Tang Juyi wanted to visit the famous King Du, but he was told that he was "unwell", so he avoided this process. Although he vaguely felt that there was something abnormal in it, Tang Juyi didn't care about it.
The only trouble is Du Fengtang, who is pestering him right now.
"It's getting late...... I'm afraid it's not good if you don't go back......"
Tang Juyi was half-lying on the bed, still covered with a blanket, and looked at Du Weitang in front of him helplessly.
The little girl moved the stool to Tang Juyi's bed, and her eyes were full of stubbornness:
"No! You promised! The duel between you and Lieber has to be a story! β
Li Chengyang, who was waiting at the door, coughed:
"Mr. Tang, Miss's temperament has always been like this, you still talk about it......"
Hearing Li Chengyang say this, Tang Juyi had no choice but to smile bitterly:
"Okay, okay, then I'll tell you a story."
Du Weitang's eyes lit up at once, and brilliance began to brew in his orange pupils:
"Good!"
Clearing his throat, Tang Juyi, who was just about to speak, inadvertently glanced at Du Weitang, but he was a little distracted.
Looking at the face with a slight green smell in front of him, there is still the light and shadow of the fire in the orange center of his eyes, and he holds his chin seriously, and there is a different kind of beauty against the background of the lights.
It is as if walking on the long street at night that is noisy at night, and in the lights of thousands of homes, I see a touch of agility that is different from the surrounding red dust, which makes people feel a little trance-like unreal.
This kind of distraction was quickly covered up by Tang Juyi, but many things were associated in his heart because of this:
"That'...... I'll tell you a story about a charlatan. β
Originally, Tang Juyi only wanted to casually tell the dimensional tasks he had experienced as a story, but looking at the expectant look of the girl in front of him, he actually felt that he couldn't turn those gloomy and evil things into words.
So, Tang Juyi changed his mind and decided to narrate the story in a certain book he had read in the eighteenth line with a little polish.
"Charlatans?"
Du Qitang blinked, her dark green hair hanging down from her forehead, covering a little of her eyebrows, but it made her look softer.
For some reason, Tang Juyi didn't dare to look at her eyes, so he directly avoided his gaze and looked at the night and stars outside the window, and his tone was a little unnatural:
"Uh, yes, a charlatan, a fake Taoist priest who pretends to be a god and a ghost."
"This charlatan has been smart and clever since he was a child, although he has never entered the school, but he has read many miscellaneous books by himself, and he has traveled all walks of life since he was a child, and he knows people's hearts."
At this time, Du Weitang asked softly:
"Why did he have to walk everywhere since he was a child? Won't his family be worried? β
Tang Juyi shook his head, and his tone was a little low:
"He had no family, and was adopted by a teacher for as long as he can remember, and then his adoptive father was assassinated by the government for injustice and beaten to death in the streets, and he also began to live, and in the process learned to cheat."
Du Weitang nodded slightly, did not speak, but still stared at Tang Juyi's face.
"I don't know how many years have passed, this charlatan's deception skills have been perfected, and he has grown into a handsome young man."
One day, he and his fellow cheaters came to a remote mountain village. He had heard that there had been a legend of 'water ghosts' in this mountain village, so he thought it was a wonderful opportunity - after all, ghosts and ghosts have always been rumors formed only because of people's ignorance. β
Speaking of this, Tang Juyi smiled slightly:
According to their thoughts, one person secretly went into the water to pretend to be a water ghost, then two people answered on the shore, and finally this charlatan took a small boat into the river to stage a good show of 'ghost hunting'. After the deed is completed, it is said that the water ghost has been solved, and you can get the gratitude of the villagers and a lot of money. β
Hearing this, Du Weitang couldn't help it:
"So bad? Even the poor people in the mountain villages are deceived? β
Tang Juyi is noncommittal:
"It's normal, after all, they also have to make a living, it's just a deceptive transaction. They came to act to reassure the villagers, and the villagers paid their wealth, nothing more. β
It seems that Du Fangtang is still unacceptable:
"That's the bad guy too......"
Directly ignoring Du Qitang's muttering, Tang Juyi continued to narrate:
"Originally, everything was going according to plan, and there was even a white fog on the river that night, which made their 'ghost hunting' pomp seem more realistic, but the accident happened......"
Du Qitang was nervous when he heard this, and hurriedly listened more carefully.
Tang Juyi lowered his voice:
"That night, the charlatans who took the boat only felt very quiet, and it was the height of summer in July, but for some reason it was bitterly cold......"
"When it was time to plan, his companion, who was supposed to be a water ghost, did not react, and he was the only one who sailed alone in the white mist, and all he saw was hazy."
Just as Du Weitang was listening attentively, Tang Juyi suddenly raised his voice:
"Suddenly! He only felt a chill in his back, but when he turned around, he found that there was an extra person on the boat! β
"Scared!"
This frightened whisper was not made by Du Fengtang, but by Li Chengyang, who was leaning against the door frame.
Tang Juyi squinted his eyes at Li Chengyang, who blushed and looked out as if nothing had happened, while humming softly.
Du Weitang was amused, and directly covered his mouth and laughed:
"Uncle Li, are you still afraid of ghosts?"
Li Chengyang immediately denied:
"Nothing!"
Tang Juyi said with a smile:
"That's nature, Senior Li's martial arts are profound, his internal strength is strong, evil is inviolable, and he is a righteous and bright person, how can he be afraid of ghosts?"
Li Chengyang didn't answer, just "hummed".
Tang Juyi, who found it interesting, did not continue to ridicule Li Chengyang, but paused for a moment, and then began to narrate:
"This woman has a snow-white complexion, willow eyebrows and red lips, bright eyes and bright teeth, and she is born with a peerless face that is captivating, not like a mortal in the world, but like a fairy in the world."
"I saw her lying lazily on the boat, and made a quiet and ethereal sound that seduced people's heartsβ"
"Little boy, it's so late, are you still interested in coming to this river to enjoy the scenery?"
