Chapter 40 The Tavern of Forgotten Worries
On the roof of the Drunken Dream Building, Mu Ruxiu was wearing a gray robe, holding a wide knife in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he waited quietly. He had long expected that Li Yinfeng would look for him, but he didn't expect that he would choose such a high-profile place.
The time was almost noon, and Li Yinfeng had not yet appeared, Mu Ruxiu was not in a hurry, because he knew that that person would definitely come. It's just that the spectators on the street are waiting impatiently.
"Do you want to beat me or not? If you don't beat me, I'll go home for dinner." β
"That person won't come, will he?"
"It's possible, after all, so many people are watching, and it's a shame to lose in case. β
"I heard that Li Yinfeng has some problems with his character, and he has no property in the rivers and lakes, so he often does some fraud and theft, which is really insulting to the reputation of cultivators. β
"Isn't it very likely that he will not let the pigeons come? After all, such a person has no credibility. β
"It is said that this duel was notarized by Zheng Lao, if Li Yinfeng didn't come, it would offend Zheng Lao. β
"Hey, hey, it's coming. β
The crowd suddenly stirred, because a figure in the distance was hurrying towards him, and the man was extremely fast, flying on the top of the building, and in the blink of an eye, he had jumped onto the roof of the drunken dream building.
This Li Yinfeng was in tatters, like a beggar, dressed in gray robes with sewing and mending, and there were holes everywhere. And the dress seemed to have not been washed for too long, and the neckline and sleeves were black stains.
This man looked to be about forty years old, with slightly gray hair, a messy beard, dark cheeks, and wrinkles.
As soon as Li Yinfeng landed on the roof of the building, his hand reached into his chest, touched it left and again, and finally took out a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
Li Yinfeng turned around and waved his hand at the people on the street, and the crowd of onlookers gradually quieted down, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Li Yinfeng cleared his throat and said in a loud voice: "Today's duel, life and death are up to heaven! But before the duel, I have a story to tell you. β
When the onlookers heard him say this, they quietly began to talk again.
"It seems that this is not a simple duel between Li Yinfeng and Mu Ruxiu. β
"I guess what he is talking about next must be the hatred between him and Mu Ruxiu. β
"I guess it's the revenge of killing my father!"
"I guess it's the hatred of taking a wife. β
Mu Ruxiu's eyes were cold, he looked at him, and said, "Li Yinfeng, are you sure you want to make your past grievances public?"
"What? Are you scared?"
Mu Ruxiu smiled indifferently and said, "Whatever you want." If I talk so much about it, I'd like to try it too, but I can't. So, I'd better save my energy. β
The corners of Li Yinfeng's mouth lifted slightly, his expression gradually became firm, and his vicissitudes of life seemed to be full of stories, he slowly turned around, looked at the crowd on the street, and exhaled lightly.
In the restaurant, Ye Chengcheng asked Zheng Lao softly, "Do you have to tell a story before this duel?"
Zheng Lao nodded slowly and said, "There are always some grievances that can't be let go, there is always some hatred, don't vomit or be unhappy." Today's duel, life and death are unknown, and no one dares to guarantee whether they can survive or not, so there is something to say, which is inevitable. β
Ye Tingcheng nodded, turned his head and looked at Li Yinfeng intently, for a moment, Ye Tingcheng felt that he seemed to have seen this person, but after all, it was far away, and Ye Tingcheng didn't think about it so much.
Li Yinfeng took a few steps forward, looked serious, and slowly spoke, "Today's battle, life and death are up to heaven!" I didn't want to say more, but I was afraid that today would pass. There was no chance to talk about it again. Today, downstairs, are all people in the rivers and lakes, I know, I Li has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, but today, maybe it is my last chance to tell this story, so Li, dare to ask your friends to listen to me. β
"This Li Yinfeng is finally serious, and in this case, we should really listen to what he wants to say. β
"A man is about to die, but his words are good. In this duel, Li Yinfeng was more than lucky. It is also human nature to reveal true feelings. β
Hearing that the onlookers downstairs did not object, Li Yinfeng smiled faintly and said, "You may not know that ten years ago, I went out with Monk Mu Ru and walked the rivers and lakes together. At that time, we were dressed in anger and acted chivalrous, but later, Mu Ruxiu, a dog thief, pushed me off the cliff for a secret book, I fell into the Valley of Skulls, and lived at the bottom of the dark valley for two whole years, at that time, I swore that when I came out, I would kill this dog thief. β
When the onlookers heard it, they all sighed, in this river and lake, the most favored by the cultivators of Xuangong is the Xuangong cheats, for the secrets, there are countless fratricidals, but I didn't expect this Li Yinfeng to also suffer from it.
Li Yinfeng showed a wry smile on his face and said: "At that time, I was seriously injured, fell into the Valley of Skulls, ate rats and drank sewage every day, and I still remember those days. At that time, I was drinking wine every day in my dreams, and when Xuangong recovered, I left the skull and came to the vicinity of Jiangzhou, found a broken tavern that no one patronized, and drank wine for three days and three nights. Do you know what that wine tastes like?"
Ye Tingcheng took a sip of tea and sighed lightly: "It must be extremely bitter." No matter how good the wine is, the blood of the drinker has been overcome, the sincere heart has died, and the bitterness of the natural entrance is difficult to enter the throat. β
Li Yinfeng wiped a handful of tears, was a little emotional, and said loudly: "That wine...... The wine...... It's the most beautiful wine I've ever drunk! Moreover, the price is cheap, a jar of wine only costs one or two silver, it is really good and cheap, and the child is not deceived!"
"Poof......" The tea that Ye Tingcheng had just entered squirted out in an instant, Ye Tingcheng wiped the tea on his mouth, and looked at this Li Yinfeng dumbfounded, never expecting that this was just the beginning!
"The tavern was originally located in the deep streets and alleys, now there has changed the owner, and changed its name to the Forget Worry Tavern, the address has also moved to Changjing Lane, the opening date, it is set for tomorrow, whether you like realgar wine, peach blossom brewing, or bamboo leaf green, daughter red, there, all can satisfy you, whether you want to forget the troubles, or remember the beauty of life, there, is the best place for you to entertain friends, catch up with the market and travel, open tomorrow for rewards, don't nine hundred and ninety-eight, don't want two hundred and eighty-eight, as long as ninety-nine two, you can become the most respected guest of the Forget Worry Tavern, free to drink for a yearγ Don't miss the opportunity, don't come again, you go south, go north, dig coal and buckle nose, drunk dream by the girl pressed the legs, don't be afraid that you won't come, I'm afraid that you won't come!"
For a long time, Li Yin didn't make a breath, and leaned out like a bamboo tube upside down, and the people watching the duel on the entire street almost stared at him in shock, looking at him like a fool.
Li Yinfeng saw that the effect was good, and couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows: "When people are middle-aged, their waists and legs are sore, and their limbs are weak, especially at night, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, but it's a pity that I don't lift a gun, but since I drank the kidney tonic and aphrodisiac wine in the Forget Worry Tavern, my waist is not sore when I walk, and my peeing legs are not soft. It really opened the door to a new world, and from then on to the peak of flowers. Brothers, do you have the same troubles as me, and do you also have hidden diseases that you are embarrassed to talk about? So what are you waiting for......?
It was another piece of propaganda in one go, and Li Yinfeng finally couldn't catch his breath and coughed.
