Chapter 175: The Cowherd and Dongfang Shuo
Inside the city.
This street is full of peddlers and pawns, hundreds of families, and all kinds of trades.
Jiang Taiyi came over in Dahan.
It is also gradually recognized that the prosperity created by the "two emperors of Wen and Jing" in the world is not false.
What I saw and heard along the way, in every city, the people were rich.
If you look at the storytellers, tricksters, all kinds of hawkers, and jugglers on the street, you can see the general.
Obviously, the people of the world are full, and there will be so many artists in the world to meet the needs of the people in addition to eating and drinking.
Listen to the story from the storyteller.
The storyteller was an old man with a goatee and a short blue cloth coat, which can also be seen from the color of the fabric, because during the Qin and Six Kingdoms periods, the common people could not afford to wear such colored clothes.
The old man was in good spirits, with a literati temperament, and there was a large circle of people in front of the storytelling stall, telling the story of the "Fairy Lake".
"It is said that in ancient times, people and gods lived together, and there was a great god among them, named 'Taiyi', who was born for one breath, and met a fairy on the earth, and the two were the love ......of heaven and earth."
"Later, in order to save the three worlds of heaven and man, Taiyi chose to ascend to heaven and become the most respected god of heaven, known as the emperor of heaven, but left the goddess in the world, since then the two heavens and men have been separated forever, death and life have never seen each other again, and the fairy has dried up her tears and turned into a fairy lake in the world."
Syllable!
Mr. Storyteller patted the wood, stretched out his hand and pointed to a direction outside Xinyu City:
"It's the fairy lake a hundred miles away from Xinyu City!"
Cher listened with relish.
However, the others in front of the storytelling stall waved their hands impatiently.
A young child complained: "Uncle, if you talk about books, why do you talk about this fairy lake every time, we people in Xinyu City have grown up listening to this story since childhood, and you also said that your ears are cocooned." ”
A man also spoke up: "Yes, can you stop talking about it in the future, it's just an ordinary lake, how can there be any fairies?" ”
Mr. Storyteller shook his head: "We Mr. Storyteller is the 'family' inherited from the hundred schools of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and this story was passed down by my master before his death, how can it be fake?" ”
A man said angrily: "I dare to say that it is true, just because you said that the fairy lake will have fairies from the sky to bathe, as long as you find an opportunity to steal their feather clothes, you can leave them in the world and be my wife, I have been waiting in the fairy lake for half a year, and I have not seen a single fairy hair......"
The storyteller waved his hand again and again: "You can't blame me, this is my master's master's master's master's work, you haven't encountered it, it can only be said that you don't have the fate of 'marrying heaven' with the emperor of heaven." ”
The child said anxiously: "Okay, okay, I don't want to listen to the story of Fairy Lake anymore, I want to listen to the story of the 'Mo family giant', last time you said that Tianming and Yue'er were broken up by the big villain called 'Jiang Taiyi', and later, did Jing Tianming find Yue'er?" ”
Jiang Taiyi was stunned when he heard this.
I didn't expect there to be my own business here.
I couldn't help but laugh.
After seventy or eighty years, he was actually compiled into a story in a book by the barnyard officials of later generations.
and has become the villain in the book.
The others also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, tell the story of the Mo family giant." ”
One person said: "I also met a disciple of the Mo family a few days ago, and they said that the Tianming giant is still in the world, and he has lived from the Qin Dynasty to the present, and he is more than a hundred years old." ”
"Good!"
The storyteller slapped the wood in surprise and said loudly:
"Then let's continue to talk about the dignified Mo family giant, the most famous Mo family giant 'Jing Tianming' among the top ten masters in the world today...... Legend has it that he is the son of Jing Ke, the hero of the Assassin Qin...... The last book talked about ......"
Listened for a while.
Jiang Taiyi looked at Xue'er and listened attentively, and couldn't help but smile and asked:
"Why, do you like to listen to stories?"
Xue'er said: "Mm-hmm, uncle, that big villain named Jiang Taiyi is really bad. ”
Jiang Taiyi smiled lightly and said, "Well, it's true that he's not a good person. ”
As he spoke, he took Xue'er's hand and continued to walk forward.
Behind.
Xuanwu glanced at the storytelling stall thoughtfully, and then looked at Jiang Taiyi in front of him.
Jiang Taiyi was walking with Xue'er, while carefully sensing the hints of fate.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
If the Heavenly Dao of Fate is completely completed, where a little bit is needed, it will be a thought, and you can know everything.
But at this time.
A tremor emanated from the fateful Dao seed in his heart, pointing to a trick-trick stall not far ahead.
In the stalls.
He was a young man.
He was performing an ordinary trick.
But after Jiang Taiyi approached, his heart suddenly moved, as if he sensed something.
A pair of eyes rolled slightly, and vaguely saw a sac hanging from Xue'er's waist.
Then he shouted:
"Everyone, what you just saw is nothing, I have a trick called climbing the ladder, you can go up to the heavenly realm, and steal the peach of the Queen Mother of the West to you......"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Really?
And Jiang Taiyi's eyes were also slightly narrowed.
Queen Mother of the West?
Isn't it the identity of the White Emperor before he ascended to the sky.
Sweeping it at a glance, I didn't see how profound the cultivation of this trickster was, and it was far from reaching the realm of ascending to the sky.
Dare to say that he went to heaven to steal the queen mother's peach.
All were drawn to the eye.
The young man in Baotou smiled when he saw this, and said, "Look, let's take a look, I'm going to pick up the peach in a while!" ”
Laugh it off.
He took out a ball of rope from his sleeve and threw it into the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it.
I saw that as soon as this rope was thrown into the sky, it went directly into the clouds, as if it was tied to the sky, and a rope ladder hung down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to steal the Queen Mother's peaches for everyone." The youth burst out laughing.
He grabbed the rope ladder and slowly climbed up.
In an instant, everyone saw the young man holding on to the rope and climbing up to the sky little by little.
Everyone looked up, and saw that the young man and the rope were only a black dot in the air hundreds of feet high, and then disappeared.
"It's really up to the sky...... everyone exclaimed.
This time.
Xu is to verify that what the young man said is true, and after a while, this is not the season of peaches, but a large number of peaches fell from the sky at once!
Fall to the ground.
"What a peach!"
The hundreds of onlookers all shouted in amazement, and then their eyes lit up:
"Xiantao, grab it!"
"This is the Queen Mother's fairy peach, you can live forever if you eat it!"
Moment.
The whole bazaar was in chaos.
Soon.
Hundreds of peaches were snatched up by everyone, and the ladder suddenly disappeared.
"Oh no, that person was caught by the immortals in the sky, run!"
"Run!"
All those who have snatched peaches and those who have not snatched peaches are scattered at this time.
And a young man who looked ordinary and simple, in a blink of an eye, saw that his cow was gone, and couldn't help but let out a panicked scream:
"My cow, my cow......"
All were looking at the youth from afar.
"It's really pitiful, it must have been when everyone was grabbing the peach just now, and someone took this opportunity to secretly take his cattle away."
"Stealing cattle is a capital offense, and that thief is too bold."
"Maybe it's a habitual offender, and I'm not afraid of the king's law for a long time."
Listen to the whispers around you.
The simple young man was even more desperate, and tears came down his eyes:
"My cow."
Someone seems to know him.
"This seems to be the child of Uncle Dong's family in the original city, the old man originally had some property, and the old man had a total of two sons, but after the old man passed away, the young man's brother and sister-in-law occupied all the family property, and only gave him an old cow, relying on each other for his life, and in the long run, people called him 'Cowherd'."
Jiang Taiyi listened to the words of the people around him.
His eyes fell on the young man named 'Cowherd', and a smile appeared in his eyes.
The host of the sentient species under the fatalistic deduction has appeared.
Seeing the boy crying in despair on the ground.
Jiang Taiyi stepped forward and said softly: "Young man, don't cry, I know who stole your cow, and he also stole our things......"
The young man looked up in surprise: "Uncle, do you know who stole my cow?" ”
Xue'er looked up beside Jiang Taiyi at this time and asked, "Uncle, did we lose something too?" ”
Jiang Taiyi touched his head: "Silly boy, what are you missing, you touched the dragon ball in your little pocket, is it still there?" ”
Xue'er lowered her head and flipped up her pocket, and immediately cried out in a hurry: "My beads are gone......"
Not far away.
Xuanwu couldn't help but be furious when he heard that Xue'er's "Dragon Ball" was gone......
That's Dragon Ball!
Suddenly.
He had a suspect at the first time, and immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice:
"It must have been the trick just now, stealing peaches under the pretense of the ladder caused chaos around the surroundings, and then took advantage of the chaos to steal the Dragon Ball......"
This thief is a visionary, the dragon ball is on Xue'er, the light has been dimmed, and he can still see it.
It's just that, after finishing speaking, Xuanwu looked at the young man who threw the cow in disbelief.
"The Dragon Ball is a treasure that everyone in the world wants, and the thief can understand that he stole the Dragon Ball, but why did he steal this young man's cow again?"
He wondered if Jiang Taiyi was wrong.
It's not the only one who steals cattle and dragon balls.
Jiang Taiyi chuckled and said, "Then let's ask the thief and know?" ”
"Where is the thief who stole my cattle?" The boy who lost the cow was about to cry in a hurry.
"He was where he was, and he never left." As soon as Jiang Taiyi spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand in the air, and the "ladder" that had disappeared reappeared.
Then, with Jiang Taiyi's pull.
Thump!
I saw a figure fall from mid-air:
"Oops!"
It's the young man who is a trickster.
After he was thrown lightly, as soon as he looked up, he saw Xuanwu glaring at him, and at the same time met Jiang Taiyi's gaze, and hurriedly smiled:
"Mr. is really a good skill, boy, I learned this 'art of the pot sky', stealing all over the world, even the white jade seal in the palace of the Han Emperor has been stolen to play with it, but no one has ever found the roots, and now in front of Mr., the original form is revealed, I don't know who Mr. is?"
"The art of the pot sky, interesting...... But if you want to ask my name, let's tell me where you came from. Jiang Taiyi looked at the thief with a faint smile.
"In the Lower Dongfang Shuo, the word is Manqian, and the family teacher is Mr. Wang Xuanfu of Donghua in Ningyang Cave, Zhongnan Mountain." The young man whispered. (End of chapter)
