Chapter 236: The story in the book is no different
Before leaving the town, Gu Meng and Bai Congee were on the second floor of the inn and listened to a storytelling.
Bai Congee had heard of this kind of thing in Xian Mall before, but he had never heard of it in person, as for Gu Ming, the early years were precarious, and later the country was ruined, and he had no time to find other fun, so it was the first time.
Two people stood in front of the railing, watching the restaurant layout.
The guys first dragged a table and chair in the middle of the second floor, and then dragged some of the tables and chairs around it, revealing a large empty space in the middle.
Then on that table was placed a large white bowl, and a piece of stunning.
After that, the drinkers went upstairs, each found a seat and sat down, more or less asked for some drinks and snacks, and then waited for the storyteller to appear.
Bai Congee looked at this arrangement and said with a smile: "I don't know what the story is, if it's too old-fashioned, then Bai let me wait here for so long." ”
Gu Meng said: "It's not a special story if I think it's not a special story, it's either a story of some scholars encountering ghosts, or a story about some sons-in-law who were looked down upon under the fence, and suddenly one day their true identities were discovered, which made everyone's jaws drop." ”
Bai Congee frowned and said, "Is there anyone else who likes such a story?"
Gu Meng shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the existence is very reasonable, speaking of which, I read that book before, and some people liked it, and it was a bit outrageous." ”
Bai Congee said: "That's different. ”
Gu Meng retorted: "What's the difference, don't let me run into that guy, otherwise I will beat him sooner or later, Qinghuai is such a good woman who doesn't cherish it, but she likes the Dao seed." ”
"That's the character in the script, you hate it so much?"
Bai Congee was a little incomprehensible.
Gu Meng said: "I don't know why, I always feel that I can't let go." ”
Bai Congee didn't speak, just thought, if the characters in it still let you remember, especially if you can't put it down, then that script will actually have some merit.
Just as her thoughts were spreading, there was a noise not far away.
Bai Congee turned his head, and it turned out to be an old gentleman with a gray beard and a long robe who had already sat in the middle of the crowd, and then picked up the shocking wood and slapped it fiercely.
Mr. Storyteller took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and after putting down the wine bowl, he said: "The history of the green history is rolling without leaving anyone, and the mighty ones go with the wind." The five heroes made trouble in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they rose and died in an instant! There are a few lines of names and surnames in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and there are countless barren hills in the north. The fields of the predecessors were collected by the later generations, and it was said that the dragon was fighting for the tiger. ”
"Life is exciting every day, and the sun and the moon are like shuttles every year. There are rich families, but the poor are cold. Promotions and fortunes can be obtained, and the two legs are finished with one kick. The word fame and fortune are a wall, and the masters are hidden inside. Someone jumps out of the wall, and it's the immortal. ”
"The story we are telling today is not about the emperors and generals, nor about the immortals who fly in the sky all day long, let's talk about the stories around us, and talk about those ......"
Before Mr. Storyteller could say anything, he was muffled by a flurry of applause, and Mr. Storyteller just shut up and took a big sip of wine.
"In our town, many years ago, there was a young man named Bai Yuhan, because he longed for that piece of rivers and lakes, so he hit a broken sword in the blacksmith shop on the street, and took him to the rivers and lakes. ”
He was sixteen years old. ”
He debuted at the age of sixteen, with extraordinary talent, coupled with a handsome face from birth, Bai Yuhan's name has been resounding all over the rivers and lakes in just one year, and he is in the top three in the list of rising stars in Tianji Pavilion, and in the way of the sword, he has always been unmatched in the same age.
When he was twenty years old, Bai Yuhan killed fifty-two bandits in Tianluo Village in Nanyang, and retreated, and won the title of a sword son.
It can be said that Bai Yuhan, who is only crowned, is already the wishful husband in the hearts of the entire Jianghu heroines and countless women.
But Bai Yuhan's footsteps did not stop, after three years, he sword provoked the evil giant of the evil way, pushed his reputation to a new height, and after another two years, he held a sword on Wudang, and the head of Wudang competed with the sword.
Wudang head Chongxu Dao Chang, became famous forty years ago, these years have occasionally shot, the martial artists on the rivers and lakes know that his martial arts have long been unfathomable, Bai Yuhan raised his sword up the mountain, many people think he wants to eat closed-door soup, but I didn't expect that Chongxu Dao Chang was personally out of the customs to greet him, and should be under this sword competition.
So on August 15, the two fought at Taixuanguan in Wudang Mountain, which was one of the biggest events in the rivers and lakes in recent years.
On that day, there were countless high-rollers who went to watch the battle, and three of the four recognized beauties in the rivers and lakes came.
Most of the martial artists knew that no matter how talented Bai Yuhan was, it was impossible for him to defeat the Daoist Chongxu, so they came to see this sword competition just to see how many swords Bai Yuhan could block.
You must know that the last time Dao Chang Chongxu made a move, it was five years ago, and in just twenty rounds, he killed a big devil who had been a disaster for several years.
If Bai Yuhan can survive fifty rounds, he can squeeze into the ranks of first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.
But people are also very tolerant, knowing that Bai Yuhan is still very young, even if he loses in a few rounds, they will not blame him, after all, he is very young and has an unlimited future.
As for those women, they had already been sure that Bai Yuhan would not lose, so they were extremely excited.
After all, other people see this grand event, but they only see Bai Yuhan as a person.
The much-anticipated sword competition, held as scheduled on August 15, in Wudang Mountain Taixuanguan, the rising star Bai Yuhan and Wudang Chongxu Dao Chang's battle, shocked everyone's jaws, not to mention that the sword qi was vertical and horizontal that day, incomparably magnificent, just the ending, Bai Yuhan insisted on hundreds of rounds in the hands of the Chongxu Dao Chief, and the last move was defeated, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
After this battle, the twenty-five-year-old Bai Yuhan became a first-class top master in the rivers and lakes, and even faintly said that he was the second person in kendo.
No one doubted that in the future, Bai Yuhan would personally take the title of the number one in the world from the hands of the Chongxu Dao Chief.
But no one expected that just one year later, three months after Bai Yuhan became the youngest head of the Yuzao Sect in history, he announced his resignation from the head of the sect and abandoned his sword and went into hiding.
At this point in the story, the storyteller stopped, and there is a way to tell the story, that is, all the stories cannot be told in one breath, and there is always something left for the imagination of the drinkers, such as at this moment, everyone present is thinking, some regret it, and some people investigate the reason.
After all, there are 100 people and 100 phases.
Bai Congee looked at Gu Meng and asked, "Bai Yuhan?"
The name is so close to a certain name that one has to think about it.
Gu Meng said: "Just listen to it again, I don't know what to say now." ”
Bai Congee was silent, just looking at the storyteller.
The latter finished drinking, and saw that everyone was almost reacting, so he was shocked and continued: "Before retiring to the rivers and lakes, that one drank wine with his best friend on the star-picking tower in Bianjing City, and explained the reason. ”
The highest building in Bianjing City, and even the highest building in the world is called the Star Picking Building, this building is extremely high, every time the stars are full of night, sit on the top of this building, as if you can reach out to pick up the stars, so it gets the name.
Bai Yuhan, who was dressed in white clothes and white hair, sat on the roof of the Star Picking Tower, and sitting beside him was his only friend in this river and lake, Duan Qiao.
He is the second son of the Jiangnan Duan family, his martial arts are mediocre, but he has money, so before he met Bai Yuhan, he had a lot of "friends", and it was not until that year in Saibei that Bai Yuhan rescued him from the hands of the evil giant, and they became friends.
To each other, the only friends.
Beside the two of them, there were wine jars, those made of jade glaze, the jars alone were worth a thousand gold, not to mention the wine inside.
Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Duan Qiao said: "The wine I stole from my home, the wine that the old man bought in the Western Regions twenty years ago is the kind of wine in the poems of the great poet Wang Han, the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, the writing is really fucking good." ”
Bai Yuhan's face was cold, but after all, there was still a smile, "Aren't you afraid of your leg being broken?"
Duan Qiao said: "The old man, these wines have been piled up in the warehouse for many years, saying that unless he sees a hero he is willing to associate with, he will never open it." ”
Bai Yuhan smiled silently.
"I think that the old man has broken his leg over the years, and his popularity is not good, and I guess I will never make any friends worth making in this life, otherwise he will see you, but I am afraid that he will have already finished drinking. ”
This is really stinky feet, but Bai Yuhan didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the moonlight.
After being silent for a while, Duan Qiao asked: "At the age of twenty-six, you became the sect master of the Yuzao Sect, and there are probably not many people in the rivers and lakes who can beat the sword in your hand, in other words, how many are there?"
"Three. ”
Bai Yuhan said calmly: "There are still three people left this year, if I continue to practice swords, there will be only two left next year, and before the age of thirty, there will be no rivals in the world." ”
Duan Qiao clapped his hands, "So even so, you have to give up the position of the sect master of the Yuzao Sect for the sake of a woman, and give up this situation where you will be the leader alone for at least thirty years?"
Bai Yuhan didn't answer, but said: "Even though the wine is good, I only like my daughter red." ”
Duan Qiao turned his head and slapped the mud of a jar of wine with his palm, and the wine inside was clear, like spring water in the moonlight.
"So I poured all the wine and replaced it with my daughter red. ”
Bai Yuhan turned his head, looked at Duan Qiao, and smiled at each other.
The two have only been friends for a few years, but in fact, both of them are well aware of each other's temperament.
Bai Yuhan picked up a jar of wine, and without how to pour it, there was wine sucked into his mouth from the jar, and after a while, a jar of fine wine entered Bai Yuhan's stomach.
Bai Yuhan put down the wine jar and said happily: "Everyone in the world thinks that Bai Yuhan should do something, Bai Yuhan doesn't necessarily like to do it, everyone in the world thinks that Bai Yuhan is unwilling to do something, and Bai Yuhan is not necessarily unwilling." ”
"Although I want to stay in this world, I also want to marry her. ”
Bai Yuhan was a little melancholy, but soon swept away, "You can only choose one of the two, then I will choose to marry her." ”
Duan Qiao was also very depressed and took a sip of wine, and muttered, "I don't know why you, a person who has killed so many evil demons, would like a witch." ”
Bai Yuhan retorted: "All the people I kill are wicked, and there is no distinction between evil and righteousness. ”
"Besides, Hanyan is indeed a good person. ”
Lu Hanyan is one of the four beauties recognized by the rivers and lakes, and is also the saint of the Demon Sect, the beloved daughter of the Demon Sect leader Lu Feng, who is regarded as the pearl of the palm of her hand, because of her special identity, so for so many years, she has not appeared on the rivers and lakes a few times, in the past few years, this Demon Sect Holy Maiden has been taken away several times, and people from the decent and evil sects have it, in order to make Lu Feng compromise.
The last time Lu Hanyan was taken away, it was Bai Yuhan who was rescued by the sword, and the two fell in love with each other at first sight, Bai Yuhan was the sweetheart of many women in the world, and it was reasonable for Lu Hanyan to take a fancy to her, as for Lu Hanyan, although it is extremely beautiful, the reason why Bai Yuhan really fell in love with her was because she was a kind person.
At that time, the first time they met, in that village, Lu Hanyan was still boiling medicine to treat a child who was also captured by the evil master.
After that, he rescued Lu Hanyan, and the two got along for three months, and they were no longer separated.
After Lu Feng knew about this matter, Lu Feng asked Bai Yuhan to join the Demon Sect before he could marry his daughter to him, Bai Yuhan would not agree, and Lu Hanyan would not agree, so Lu Hanyan escaped from the Demon Sect and went to the Yuzao Sect to find him.
But the Yuzao Sect would not tolerate its own sect master marrying a Demon Sect Holy Maiden, and the righteous path would not allow Bai Yuhan to marry a Demon Sect Holy Maiden, so at this time, Bai Yuhan had to make a choice.
Do you want rivers and lakes or beauties.
If it were someone else, it would be really difficult to choose, but Bai Yuhan felt that it was not difficult.
So soon he made a decision, resigned as the suzerain, and decided to retire.
"I entered the rivers and lakes at the age of sixteen, and now it is exactly ten years, looking at the past ten years, I can say that I have a clear conscience, and there is no soul under the sword. ”
As he spoke, Bai Yuhan waved his hand, and the ancient sword that had been on his side instantly slashed, making a trembling sound.
The long sword was driven by the strong internal force and flew towards the river outside Bianjing.
Duan Qiao soon couldn't see the trace of the sword, and could only feel the residual sword qi.
Standing up, Bai Yuhan smiled and said, "Let's go." ”
As soon as his body moved, he was never seen again.
I want to come to the whole rivers and lakes too.
"It's really chic!" said a drinker.
"This story is good, Xiao Er, and another altar of daughter red!" A drinker spoke loudly, as if he had listened to this half of the story, and he also had some pride.
Gu Meng was smiling, the two stories before and after Mr. Storyteller were actually quite level, the first one was to arouse the interest of these drinkers, and the latter story gave the answer, by the way, he focused on the matter of wine.
It's a trick to sell as much wine as possible without affecting the feelings of the drinkers.
Bai Congee suddenly said with some anger: "The poems in his story are used very messily. ”
Gu Meng shook his head, "Lord of the North Sea, it's not too much to praise with two lines of poetry. ”
Yes, hearing this, Gu Meng also understood that Bai Yuhan in the story of this storyteller was naturally Bai Yuhan, the lord of the North Sea.
After all, the three words of Yuzao Sect are not very clear to ordinary people, but how can a cultivator like Gu Meng not know?
just put him in the rivers and lakes and turned into an amorous swordsman who quit the rivers and lakes for love.
"The story is very interesting, but I don't know if the old gentleman has the second half of the story. ”
Gu Meng was very satisfied, so he also asked for a jar of daughter red.
Holding the wine jar, everyone waited for the rest of the story.
Seeing that many people had spent money on wine, the old gentleman twisted his beard and began to continue to tell the rest of the story.
Four years after Bai Yuhan withdrew from the rivers and lakes, a young man was killed in the rivers and lakes, his name was Chang Hong, and his swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and many people looked at him and remembered Bai Yuhan at the beginning.
So when Chang Hong walked to the heights of the rivers and lakes little by little, what people said the most was that it would be great if Bai Yuhan was still there.
It is difficult for the rivers and lakes to have departed people, and they have always been remembered.
But Bai Yuhan is an exception.
But for Chang Hong, it is very cruel.
So on June 12, Chang Hong concocted the same method and challenged the head of Chongxu Dao in Wudang Taixuanguan.
This battle is so much like Bai Yuhan back then.
But the result was completely different, Chang Hong's swordsmanship was very high, or maybe he was too old to Chongxu Dao, and after hundreds of rounds of fierce battles, Chongxu Dao Chang was defeated under Chang Hong's sword.
So he naturally became the first kendo of the new generation of rivers and lakes, and also the first in the world.
The Yuzao Sect invited him to become the master, and Chang Hong gladly accepted it and became the new sect master of the Yuzao Sect.
It seems to be to re-walk the path of Bai Yuhan's day.
There are different opinions in the world, and many people have a feeling of worship for Chang Hong, but there will still be many people who will say that it would be good if Bai Yuhan was still there.
Chang Hong turned a deaf ear to this, at this time the rivers and lakes were in chaos, the contradictions between the righteous path and the evil way had already reached the point of irreconcilability, and the war had already begun.
The Chongxu Dao Elder is already old, and the current leader of the righteous path can only be Chang Hong.
So in Mount Tai, Chang Hong became the leader of the martial arts alliance, and then started a big war.
Chang Hong's sword was sharp enough, but his leadership didn't seem to be enough, and he was not the opponent of the old and spicy Lu Feng, so he was losing and retreating, and he saw that the Righteous Path Alliance was already on the verge of collapse.
So Chang Hong came up with a way.
If you want to implement this method, the most important thing is to find Bai Yuhan.
Gu Meng said: "I know the story behind, it's a bit old-fashioned. ”
Bai Congee nodded, "I know it too." ”
About half of this story has been told, and Gu Meng and Bai Congee know it, and the ending of the story is nothing more than Bai Yuhan being forced to raise his sword to fight the so-called Demon Sect Master.
Bai Congee suddenly said: "I think there may be a different ending, he has already put down his sword, has the sword path stagnated all these years?
Gu Meng said: "Two fists are hard to beat four hands, when he retires from the position of the sect master of the Yuzao Sect, even if he has what he wants, he will lose a lot of things, and those losses are the price he has to pay." ”
Bai Congee was silent, she didn't think about it so much.
Gu said: "Although the story is old-fashioned, it is very true, and this is the story that happens around us every day. ”
Bai Congee didn't refute, but she didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she said, "Let's go." ”
Gu Meng nodded, not caring what the final outcome of this story was.
The two walked out of the inn and walked towards the outside of the town, but Bai Congee didn't know how, she became interested again, and she asked, "In this story, the most pitiful person should be Chang Hong, right?"
Gu Luo thought for a while, nodded and said: "Indeed, although Bai Yuhan may be disturbed in the end, the initial choice was made by himself, and if he can make a choice, it means that he has finally lived a relatively smooth life, but Chang Hong, regardless of life or death, is afraid that he will live in someone's shadow for the rest of his life." ”
Walking on Bai Yuhan's road, he naturally lives in his shadow, this thing is difficult, very difficult.
Gu Meng said: "But there are a lot of such things. ”
It's hard to believe that these two very young practitioners are so interested in the story of a storyteller and can come up with a lot to come up with.
This may be the reason why two people can become friends and have been together for so many days without annoying each other.
......
......
In the town, there were two people walking out of the inn, one after the other, it was Lan Linzhen and Liang Shizhi.
Liang Shiyi looked up at the sky, then frowned and said, "If Bai Yuchen knew that he had been changed to such a person, I am afraid that the wind and snow in the north would be even greater." ”
The two of them were actually in the inn just now, mixing in the crowd, but they didn't want Gu Meng and Bai Congee to know, so the two naturally didn't know.
As for why they came here, probably according to Liang Shiyi's words, such a kid, when I looked at him, I thought he was good-looking, and now when I look at it again, I find that in addition to being good-looking, he is really a good seedling.
Lan Lin Zhenren knew that this was not actually to say that Liang Shiyi wanted to pass the sword, but he was a little panicked.
The root of panic is actually uncertainty about the future.
It is not an easy thing to challenge the female sword immortal.
You can die at every turn.
Liang Shiyi said that it was false not to worry, after all, this was the first battle in a hundred years, so he would have the matter of passing the sword.
As for why Gu Luo was chosen, the reason is very simple.
One is because Gu Luo is now the most talented in his opinion, and he is most likely to learn his sword, and the other is that he already owes his senior sister a favor.
As for the last point, it is also the most important one.
That is, Gu Meng is really good-looking.
Such a good-looking apprentice, of course, is good.
Lan Linzhen ruthlessly interrupted: "You chose him because he didn't have any good teachers, so he will definitely be grateful to you, not because he is good-looking!"
Liang Shiyi turned his head, looked at Lan Lin, and sighed: "Lan Lin, you are afraid that my apprentice will surpass your apprentice, but don't worry, this is already a sure thing!"
