Chapter 457: Lost in the Ancient Town (12)
On the side of the street, a storyteller was talking energetically, while Tang Juyi and Tan Ying were mixed in the crowd and listened carefully.
ββ¦β¦ The farmer thought he had misunderstood, and rubbed his eyes, but he really saw those people sitting in the restaurant again, drinking and chatting. Seeing this, the farmer was even more terrified in his heart, and felt that he had seen a ghost in the daytime, and immediately ran out like crazy! β
The storyteller's expression became gloomy, and his tone was much darker:
"Everyone, imagine how it would be to see a person who has become a corpse with your own eyes appear alive in front of you?"
Tan Ying only felt a chill rushing over, and looked at Tang Juyi a little nervously, but found that he seemed to be fascinated by what he heard, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
The storyteller saw Tang Juyi in the crowd and immediately became curious:
"This brother, why are you laughing? Isn't dayseeing a fun thing? β
Tang Juyi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this storyteller to talk to him:
"Me? I'm sorry, but I thought of something happy for a while. β
The storyteller narrowed his eyes, as if he knew that Tang Juyi was lying:
"What makes you so happy? Can Brother Tai reveal a thing or two? β
Tang Juyi's face does not change color:
"That's right, my wife is going to have a baby, so I can't help but smile when I think about it."
The storyteller was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to get such an answer:
"This ...... It's a happy event......"
Tang Juyi nodded, but asked the storyteller in turn:
"Anyway, what would you think if you met the farmer what the farmer saw?"
The storyteller was quick to respond:
"I'm just a mortal, so naturally I'm afraid of myself, and I can't help myself, and I can't wait to run as far as possible...... Having said that, the same is true of the farmer, even if there are constant pedestrians on the street, he can't suppress the panic in his heart, he just feels that everything he looks like a demon and a monster, and there is nowhere to hide wherever he goes! β
Seeing that the other party was so quick to connect with what he said before, although Tang Juyi was a little surprised, he didn't interrupt, but let him continue.
The storyteller shook his head, as if he was very sorry:
"Who would have thought that even if this farmer ran out of the restaurant, he would die on the street, and he would be scared to death by himself?"
Tang Juyi's eyes changed, and then he took something out of his pocket and stuffed it into the storyteller's hand, and at the same time leaned over and whispered:
"Sir, your story is good, I can't get enough of it, and I hope Mr. will move to tell it."
The storyteller's hand squeezed, and he seemed to understand what Tang Juyi handed over, and a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Well said, well said!"
Tang Juyi smiled slightly and made a "please" gesture, while the storyteller packed up his things and seemed to be in a good mood.
Tan Ying pulled the corner of Tang Juyi's clothes, very curious:
"Where did you get all that money? When we entered this dimensional world, we were all penniless. β
Although Tang Juyi's movements were hidden, Tan Ying was beside him, and of course he could see it clearly-Tang Juyi stuffed the storyteller with a large handful of broken silver.
Tang Juyi didn't mean to hide it at all:
"What do you mean? I got it from the body of the three householdsβhe didn't have much strength to resist at the time, anyway, so I took a little of the loot. β
It sounded that Tang Juyi didn't have the slightest sense of guilt, and he was even a little proud.
Tan Ying was speechless for a while, she didn't expect Tang Juyi to start at that time.
Soon, the two of them took the storyteller to the door of a tea shop, found a random table, and sat down to order a few cups of tea. Tang Juyi didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his purpose:
"Sir, I'm curious about one thing: is the story you said about the haunting of the restaurant just a legend, or is it true?"
The storyteller took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth and said:
"I said yes, would you believe it?"
Tang Juyi's face was solemn:
"Of course I do. Mr. didn't know that in the next few years of traveling all over the world, he had seen a lot of people in the world, and those strange and strange stories had also been encountered. That's why I invited my husband here. β
The storyteller was surprised and twisted his beard:
"Interesting...... In that case, I won't hide it from you. The stories I'm talking about are what really happened in this battlement city. I went to the farmer's house to verify it, and there was indeed such a person. β
Tang Juyi nodded slightly, and there were some guesses in his heart:
"Really...... If the story he told is not fiction, then why can this restaurant still be opened? Could it be that there are still people who dare to go to such a dangerous place to eat and drink? β
However, the storyteller was inexplicable when he heard this:
"Can you drive it? Brother Tai, don't laugh, the restaurant was abandoned seven years ago, no one even dared to take over, and no craftsman dared to demolish it, so it could only be left to ruin on the street. β
After saying this, the storyteller laughed:
"Think about it, after so many hellish things have happened, which restaurant can still open? Aren't the people who dare to go there to drink are fools who are too long? β
Tang Juyi's expression remained unchanged, and he looked as if nothing had happened:
"I see, I said how could there be such a thing...... When I saw the restaurant from afar, I thought it was still open, but it turned out that it had been abandoned for many years. β
Tan Ying's face next to her was a little pale, but because she kept her head down, she didn't see anything unusual by the storyteller.
In the following time, Tang Juyi chatted with the storyteller casually, and had a general understanding of the horrors that happened back then, and he also had a clearer understanding of the "long-abandoned" restaurant in his heart.
According to the storyteller, it was probably seven or eight years ago that there were many people gathered in this battlement city like it is now, but they did not come to find any ancient town, but to find a martial arts treasure, which is said to be able to get people out of the flesh and mortal womb and improve quickly.
At that time, there were five groups of people in the restaurant, exactly the same as what Tang Juyi had seen before-there were all official governments, sects, scattered people, and families, and the purpose was to get the treasure.
Although these people were secretly competing, they were still harmonious on the surface - until the children of the family died tragically in the middle of the night.
The storyteller did not explicitly say the tragic death of the children of the family, but vaguely revealed that his death was tragic.
Since the children of that family encountered a catastrophe, the forces in the restaurant have had accidents one after another, and the last two groups of people even drew their swords directly against each other, and finally died together.
The farmer in the story had seen those people fighting the day before, and had seen the corpses lying in pools of blood with his own eyes, but the next day he saw those people in the restaurant drinking and talking.
Among them, it is strange and can be seen.
