85. There is an inn

Seeing this, the hunchbacked old man began to speak eloquently again: "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, at the foot of Taibai Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, there was a very mysterious bluestone nest. This stone nest is simply amazing, as if the mountain god snake demon is lurking under this bluestone nest, often appearing, mountain people dare not easily approach him, for fear of offending the mountain god snake spirit. Once, however, a poor lad came back from collecting firewood from the mountain, and when he walked to the bottom of the mountain, he stumbled upon the stone nest and found wisps of green smoke coming out. The young man was very puzzled, and said in his heart, why is there smoke in the stone nest? Incredible? Is there such a strange thing in the world? So, the young man stepped forward to take a look at the bluestone nest, but he didn't see anything, nothing more than some smooth and shiny rocks, how could there be smoking pores? The young man's curiosity suddenly rose, and he lifted a large stone from the pile of stones and smashed it into the nest of stones. What do you say? I only heard a loud bang, and the smoke was filled in an instant, as if in the fairy mist. In a moment, a girl like a flower and jade gradually appeared in this smoke mist! ”

Speaking of this, the hunchbacked old man couldn't help but stop and take a sip of tea.

Besides, Ye Jinfeng and the other six brothers stopped abruptly when they heard the hunchbacked old man talk about this, and they couldn't help but feel a little itchy in their hearts, feeling that the legend was very flavorful, and they were anxious to listen to the following. I saw that Zhang Yunhai couldn't hold his breath and asked, "What happened then?" Don't go to court, old gentleman, let's listen to it quickly. ”

"Good! Listen to me! The hunchbacked old man cleared his throat and continued: "The poor boy saw a girl like a flower and jade emerge from this fog, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he brought her home and became his wife. ……”

"Hahaha! How can there be such a good thing! Zhang Yunhai couldn't help but interrupt.

"Whoa! Don't be impatient! And here's more! The hunchbacked old man motioned to Zhang Yunhai not to interject, and then said: "In this way, the husband and wife have lived together for two years. has long been affectionate with each other, and it is difficult to cut off the deep affection between them even if it is a sea of swords. It wasn't until the fall of the third year that they finally gave birth to a chubby boy named Shanwa. Scold! This mountain baby, not to mention how cute it is. The husband and wife have this precious son, and they are indescribably happy all day long. But one evening not long after, a gust of wind suddenly blew into the yard, and the mother and son were swept into the bluestone nest at the foot of Taibai Mountain. The young man is chasing after him, chasing him! But when he chased him to the bluestone nest, he could no longer find the mother and son. So, the young man was in great pain, holding the bluestone nest Tao and crying. But no matter how much he scratched until blood broke out from his hands, nothing helped. He lay there crying for seven days and seven nights, and finally died in the stone nest. After his death, his white bones turned into a pile of rubble, and the stone nest was soaked in his tears and blood into a pool of 'blood and tears'. ”

When the hunchbacked old man said this, he stopped again and took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Li! And that's the end of the legend? The fifth grandson, who had already been able to hear it, couldn't help but ask.

Seeing this, the hunchbacked old man put down the teacup, smiled and said, "Young man, don't worry! …… This later legend is even more bizarre. ”

"More bizarre?!"

"Yes!" The hunchbacked old man continued, "What did you say was the woman who came out of the bluestone nest?" ”

"What is it?" Ouyang Qingfeng immediately asked.

"It's a white snake spirit in the mountains! …… Ever since her mother and son were swept into the stone nest by the wind, they have never come out. I don't know how many years have passed, and the stone nest, that is, the 'pool of blood and tears', has long been moved to a very mysterious place. How many people have gone to the foot of the Taibai Mountain to look for the remains of the 'pool of blood and tears', but they have not been able to find the real place! ”

Speaking of this, Ye Jinfeng couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Uncle Li knows the whereabouts of this 'pool of blood and tears'?" ”

"Oh! No! No! No! The hunchbacked old man hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I don't know where it really is." This is just a legend, you don't have to worry about the ancients! …… However, with this myth and legend, it adds to the magical color of this Taibai Mountain. Isn't there a saying that 'the mountain is not high, but the immortal is famous; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual'? Therefore, because Taibai Mountain has this magical legend, every autumn, it will attract many tourists from afar. It is said that now, when someone throws a silver dollar into a pool of water in the mountain stream of Taibai Mountain, a man can be heard crying miserably! ”

"Is that so?" Wu Tianba was half-convinced, and looked at the hunchbacked old man and put down his wine chopsticks.

"Is that fake?" The hunchbacked old man said with great confidence: "And that pool of water is the legendary 'pool of blood and tears'!" ”

"Good!" The fourth Zhang Yunhai suddenly took out a silver dollar from his waist, put it on the table, and said, "Tomorrow we will use this silver dollar to try it and see if we can hear the cry!" ”

At this time, the hunchbacked old man looked at the silver dollar on the wine table with a smile and said, "Rank the guest officer and eat the bar as soon as possible!" Go back and get a good night's sleep, have a good dream, and you'll have to hurry tomorrow! ”

As soon as the hunchbacked old man's words were finished, suddenly, Wu Tianba, Ouyang Qingfeng, Sun Kexing, and Huang Shiying fell on the wine table one after another.

Suddenly, Zhang Yunhai and Ye Jinfeng shouted: "It's not good! There is Mongolian and Chinese medicine! ”

However, the two of them had just finished screaming, and suddenly they also felt dizzy and their eyes were dizzy. In the middle of their eyes, they suddenly saw three big men running down from the stairs with steel knives in their hands.

At this moment, the hunchbacked old man straightened his waist tremblingly, and laughed at Ye Jinfeng and Zhang Yunhai "haha": "How is it?" Two of you! I'm not afraid of this legend! ”

Suddenly, Ye Jinfeng and Zhang Yunhai knew that this old man was a fake camel who robbed the house, but it was too late. The two of them only felt that their minds were "buzzing", and they both fell on the table, unconscious.

At this time, the first big man had already run up to the old man who was pretending to be hunchbacked, and said with great joy: "Old man! Great work! We're going to make a fortune again this time! ”

"Hahaha!" The old guy straightened his waist and said proudly: "It's just a quick look, it's as easy as a hand!" Now the three of you have searched out all their silver, and then you have found out about them. Remember, do it cleanly! ”

"Yes!" Three guys with steel knives in their hands walked towards the six people who were slumped on the wine table.

However, there is a saying that "no coincidence is not a book", and it can be regarded as the fate of the "Six Heroes of Shudong". Just as these three guys stretched out their claws to the six people who didn't know what to do, the door of the living room was kicked open, and a tall samurai wearing a black trench coat and a bamboo hat suddenly entered. Who are you? It was that mysterious swordsman Situ Yimin!

Seeing this, the three big men hurriedly put away their blades, walked forward with a smile and asked, "Do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

"Yes! I want to stay in the hotel! Situ Yimin responded, and suddenly heard a sound of "Yu Ling", and when the sword in his hand arrived, the three guys' three round heads flew down to the corner of the wall at the moment when the sword was released! Suddenly, there were three more "plop plop" sounds, and the three headless corpses fell to the ground, and their souls had already been scattered, and the three lives returned to the west!

Besides, the three pairs of white-eyed, donkey-like eyes on the three heads blinked, and before they could figure out what was going on, they finally closed their eyes "willingly". When he was dying, there was still a mouth that popped out four words: "I...... No...... Think...... Die! ”

At this time, Situ Yimin turned his head to look back at the old guy. What kind of dog (bear) do you think he is at this time? He trembled all over his body, and the drill bit lay under the wine table without hesitation.

So, Situ Yimin stepped forward, lifted the thin old man under the table, and shouted, "What about the antidote?" ”

Look at the shriveled old man at this time, curled up in an embarrassed thief appearance, and stammered: "He...... He...... They won't die! They drank Mongolian and Chinese medicine. I...... I...... I didn't have a solution...... Antidote! ”

"Old bastard! Trying to make money kills! It's like it! I'm going to let you die tonight! I am the current 'Emperor's Secret Envoy' Situ Yimin! ”

Between the words, only a "pounce" was heard, and Situ Yimin's sword killed the old man's dog. Immediately, the "Emperor's Secret Envoy" threw the old man's body to the roof. Suddenly, the old man's dead body knocked over the roof and flew into the night sky, never to come down.

So, this mysterious Situ hero stepped out of the door and disappeared into the night.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day, that is, the early morning of the ninth day of the fifth month, that the six brothers including Ye Jinfeng and Wu Tianba finally slowly woke up from their drunken dreams. At this time, I saw them all covering their heads that were still drowsy, and they only felt that they were still hazy in front of them. So, they had to rub their eyes.

Suddenly, Ye Jinfeng and the others looked down and found the three headless corpses beside them, and they were shocked. They tried their best to recall the events of Fang Cai, and they suddenly sobered up, and their hearts seemed to understand what was happening under these eyes: "There must be an unknown knight who secretly saved the lives of the six of them!" Otherwise, they would have gone to another world! In retrospect, it's so dangerous! What a false alarm! ”

So, the six brothers hurried to the door of the living room.

When they came to the courtyard, they saw that their six horses were still there, surrounded by a silent mountain, and no pedestrians were found. Looking up, the morning sun in the east is already rising. Only then did they realize that they had slept all night. A spring and autumn dream that almost returned to the west with six lives, so far I woke up.

At this time, Ye Jinfeng led the brothers back to the general's house and searched around. However, there is still no one else up and down and inside and outside this inn. The only thing they found was the three corpses of a large man divided into two heads, a large hole in the roof, and then a patch of blood on the ground and the ceiling, but they found no other traces. Obviously, the methods of the chivalrous warrior are clean and clean, leaving no traces, and he has become a complete unsung hero!

"Everyone!" I saw Ye Jinfeng say to the brothers, "We should leave this place as soon as possible." That old man Li last night was not a hunchback at all, and he deceived us with a sweet mouth. ”

"What? Isn't that old man hunchback?! Several people couldn't help but be surprised.
