Wang Li, who returned to the Yongning Inn, happened to meet Kong Chengshi and Kong Chengfu, who had finished casting their famous posts, and the three of them chatted for a while and then went back to the room to rest. Kong Chengfu ordered two guest rooms, Wang Li had one room, and he and Kong Chengshi had one.

After returning to the room, Kong Chengfu took out the money bag in his arms, tapped it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a bottomless pit! Those minions really dare to take it!"

Kong Chengshi said helplessly: "If it weren't for the imminent trial, I wouldn't want you to suffer! Alas! It's a pity that my Kong family can't inherit my father's order and enter the Qingyu Pavilion again, otherwise, I don't want to read that useless book!"

"Big brother, it is precisely for revenge that you have to endure humiliation and burden, and when you have strength in the future, you can take revenge on your family!"

"Alas!"

......

At dusk, Jiyuan Road, which is attached to the west of Yongning Inn, began to be lively.

Women go out into the streets, rich people go to jewelry stores to pick up fine hairpins, and ordinary men buy silver hairpins for their wives, or melt old ones and new ones. If you are really poor, you should be a wooden hairpin to show your heart.

Kong Chengfu quietly slipped out of the Yongning Inn with the money bag that had calculated the silver taels, but was unexpectedly touched by Wang Li, who was wandering. When Wang Li asked him what he was doing, the sturdy man said shyly: "Isn't this the Forgetful Water Pavilion Meeting, I'm thinking about buying a hairpin for Xiao Wuniang." ”

Thinking of Kong Chengfu's embarrassed appearance, Wang Li couldn't help but laugh, the contrast was really cute.

When the time came, the number of people on the streets did not decrease, but increased.

Kong Cheng prepared the money bag and prepared to be invited.

Wang Li also planned to take a look elsewhere, but he didn't dare to leave his backpack at the inn, so he simply carried it out.

Seeing Kong Chengshi, he casually asked, "Where is Brother Shi entertaining tonight?"

Kong Chengshi changed his white shirt, he straightened his clothes, and said, "Oh, it's in Qingyun Tower." ”

At first glance, it sounded familiar, and when he thought that it was the place where those scribes were going to hold a poetry meeting in the afternoon, Wang Li said: "I'll go with Brother Shi, I'll just go to Fang Street to have a look." ”

Kong Chengshi said: "It's okay, if he is interested in your crystal cup, I will go to you." You just play on the streets of the east square under Qingyun Tower, and I'll look for you at the end. ”

When I went out, the streets were already full of lights, and although it was close to night, the road was still full of people, like a prosperous scene.

Qingyunlou is in the prime location in the east of the north square area of the city, next to Yanluo Lake, across the lake is Yulu Hall, which is a restaurant where literati and dignitaries often come.

There are also singers singing songs to help the wine at the banquet, this is Yaxing, the most famous is the top singer of Qingyun Building, Qin Peier, the appearance is beautiful and elegant, coupled with a good piano skills, the singing voice is wonderful, like a natural, there is no ordinary singer pretentiousness, so it is quite praised by literati.

When he walked to Qingyun Tower with Kong Chengshi, he saw three or two green-shirted scribes hurrying upstairs, probably to participate in the Ice Cutting Poetry Meeting.

Wang Li said goodbye to Kong Chengshi downstairs, and watched the Yanluo Lake in front of the building casually. Naturally, there are no street lights here at night, but fortunately, the moon is bright, accompanied by the bright lights of the restaurant, but it is not a black light blinding, making people unable to figure out the direction.

There is a square street along the lake in front of Qingyun Building, except for some rouge cloth spinning shops along the street, they are all wine shops and the like, Qingyun Building is a restaurant, it belongs to the main store, it is the largest restaurant in Yucheng.

Wang Li walked north for a while, and found a fence made of tiled huts on the east side of the street, and many people gathered in front of the railing, some of them holding children with beards, and the front row sat directly on the ground, so that the people behind could see the railing.

Wang Li walked to the side of the crowd and looked, it was an old man telling a story on the stage, the old man was wearing a black robe, the sky was dark, through the two lanterns on the side of the railing, he could only see that he was two beards, his beard was pulled downward, his chin also had a long goat's beard, slender eyes, a thin appearance, and a very straight waist, looking quite similar to Kang Nanhai in his previous life.

I only heard the old man only talk but not sing, waved his hand, and said: "It is said that the mixed yuan is ancient, the gods are all bright, there are mountains and rivers to cultivate monsters, tigers and leopards to refine essence, there are the sun and the moon to turn demons, and plants and trees become spirits."

I don't know how many thousands of years ago, in the fertile sub-state of southern Kyushu, there was a phoenix vein in the weak water. There is a young fire phoenix in the Zi tribe, is the daughter of the chief of the Feng clan, its naughty nature, because of the greed for the world's customs, in the clan moved without permission to stay in the Daqiong Dynasty, was framed by the gangsters and was caught, to sacrifice her to the Daqiong Emperor, in order to wish peace. On the way, he was rescued by a man and let it go, and this fire phoenix was given a hosta magic weapon made by himself to repay the grace of saving his life, and then left.

A hundred years later, the fire phoenix was peerless, and he had already cultivated the Dao Fruit, and was ordered by the clan to go to the weak water river town to kill the demon beast. He has a human face, but it is the body of a cow, the whole body is red, the body is a hundred feet long, it is six feet high, it is hidden in the weak water river, it comes out during the day and eats people to drink blood, and at night it does not come out of the river, it is a pure evil beast. The fire phoenix is a spirit beast, she is not afraid of the beast, but she has just been born in the world, she does not know the danger, was poisoned by the monster beast on the Kunlun Mountain, the monster beast is about to kill the killer, but heard a loud shout in the air, and before she could react, she was slashed on the top of Kunlun with a sword.

The person who killed the fox was actually the man who saved the fire phoenix a hundred years ago. It turned out that the man was fascinated after seeing the human body transformed into a fire phoenix, but the immortal road was different, and the man was unwilling, so he ran away from Daqiong, visited the fairy road, and finally worshiped under the immortal gate. After a hundred years, he flew through Kunlun, and was injured by the fire phoenix, so he was anxious to sacrifice a magic weapon and cut down the demon beast.

rescued each other twice, and the fire phoenix had long been in love with the man, so the two agreed to live for life and cultivate the immortal path together.

Thousands of years later, Kyushu was in turmoil, the man in order to save the common people, and the fire phoenix said to find the hosta of the year, the hosta he has been treasured, how could it be lost!

Poor fire phoenix waited in the backwater, although he knew that the man would never return, but day and night, year after year. Now the vicissitudes of life, Daqiong has long been destroyed, people spread this legend, lamenting its true feelings are not extinguished, and this water is called the river of no return.

Although it has been 10,000 years, it is said that at this time, there is always a phoenix-like cloud hovering in the sky, as if waiting for something, and it will not disperse for a long time......"

After speaking, when everyone sighed and sighed, the old man slapped it with a waking wood, startled everyone, and said loudly: "As the so-called,

'Kyushu is still famous, and the sword sweeps away the immortals and ghosts.

Poor Hongyanxin is not dead, and he still treats Junqing according to Caiyun. ’

If there is true love, you can play a hairpin tonight and give it to the beautiful woman, in order to show the true feelings of no regrets in this life, what a pity! I have hairpins and hairpins, gold, silver, wood and jade, everything in this Vashe! Today, the old man loses a little, and the wooden hairpin only receives ten yuan, and the silver hairpin is two taels of silver! Do you want a golden hairpin? Only four taels of silver! What? You only have 100 yuan? Get out......

......

Yao Weixue listened to the old man's nonsense in the crowd, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's all a joke about the rivers and lakes, when did the origin of this Forgotten Water Pavilion become a myth? I thought it was something new, but it sounded like a cliché story of love and hate!"

A girl beside her giggled and said, "Princess, aren't you coming by yourself? You don't want to go to the Ice Cutting Poetry Society, you have to come out to see the market, how about it? I think that Xu Junyan Xu Gongzi is very good, his literary talent is peerless, his appearance is first-class, I don't know your identity, and you are so enthusiastic, you are really a good person!"

Yao Weixue was a little annoyed, gently tugged at Qing'er's little ear, and said in a low voice: "Isn't the little hoof taking a fancy to Xu Junyan? Dare to love you, I will expel you from the palace and allow him to be a concubine? Hmph! You will be a nymphomaniac! How many times have you said it, call me Gongzi outside! If I am found out and recalled to the palace by the queen mother, you will not have good fruit to eat!"

Qing'er squeezed her big eyes and pretended to be in pain: "Oops! Pain hurts! Qing'er knows, don't pull Qing'er's ears! Qing'er doesn't listen to Childe's yet." ”

Yao Weixue proudly withdrew her hand, straightened her chest and put her hands behind her back, her slender neck was snow-white and delicate, "If you say that Xu Junyan, but Er'er, is just the first place in the list, I am so many Yao Xiansheng, not inferior to him! Although he doesn't know who I am, how can he think that I am an ordinary person? Enthusiasm is also intentional, not true temperament." I thought that the Ice Cutting Poetry Club was a glimpse of the talents of the scribes of Yucheng, but who knew that it was just like that, it was just some inexplicable empty shell poems! That Xu Sheng kept making things difficult for me at the poetry meeting, and it was annoying to think about it. ”

Thinking that at the poetry meeting, Xu Sheng used the excuse of Xu Junyan inviting himself, an "outsider", to participate in the poetry meeting, and kept embarrassing himself, Yao Weixue felt tightness in his chest.

The Xu Sheng in her mouth was the blue-robed man Wang Li saw in the afternoon, Xu Junyan made him lose his face in the afternoon, so tonight he arrested Xu Junyan and Yao Weixue, who was not a scribe, to participate in the poetry meeting, and made it difficult in every way, but Yao Wanxue was injured by mistake.

"I finally slipped out, and wanted to distract myself, how could it be a bad thing! But to speak, the man I met this afternoon was quite literate, and his poems were secluded, but they were not suitable for the scene, and they should not be temporary poems, but in just one poem, you can see how upright he is in the palace of letters, but he is just too world-weary. ”

"Hee-hee, is Childe tempted?"

"Phew, dare to talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth! No big or small, don't run, little Nizi!"

"Don't be a child, Qing'er knows it's wrong, hahaha......"

Yao Weixue chased Qing'er to play, the night was not early, and he unconsciously crashed into a person's arms in the dark, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged, looked up, and said strangely: "Hey, it's you?"

Wang Li was a little puzzled, just caught a glimpse of two familiar figures from a distance, and didn't care in the dark, he was looking at the old man selling his hairpin, but he was bumped by someone, and there was a burst of fragrance on his face, and he looked down and saw that it was the Duan Gongzi he saw in the afternoon, looking at his delicate face, thinking of his delicate posture, he felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly took two steps back, opened the distance, and arched his hand: "It's Duan Gongzi." ”

Qing'er walked over and saw Wang Li, and said strangely: "It's you! Why are you here?"

Wang Li said with a smile: "I happened to pass by, and when I saw a storyteller here, I stopped and listened for a while." Duan Gongzi, didn't you participate in the Ice Cutting Poetry Meeting?

Yao Weixue straightened her clothes and said: "Ah, it's over now, I didn't stay until the end, I came out halfway, and I accidentally saw this hook along the street, and saw that he was talking about the story of the Forgotten Water Pavilion, so I listened to it for a while." ”

"Haha, the old man said it in general, it's all a nonsense story...... Ugh"

......

"Luo Fatty, how do you find someone in such a big place? This is not slippery, it's not easy to see people, and besides, what kind of crystal cup do you say? If you let the second master run away in vain, Lao Tzu will break your dog's leg!"

"Second master, I heard it with my own ears, he said that he was going to find someone to sell, I was thinking about such a treasure, why don't you have to come to Qingyunlou to negotiate the price, right? Let's guard here, we will definitely wait for them! Second master, rest assured, what does that kid look like, I remember it clearly, make sure I don't miss it!"

"Shopkeeper Luo, what you said is not right, who said that you have to go to Qingyunlou to negotiate the price when buying and selling treasures? My second master has so many treasures, aren't they all in the alley kiln?

The man in the aqua blue robe who walked in the middle listened to the flattery of Changsui, and he was refreshed, but he thought that something was more and more wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to say angrily: "Fuck, Luo Fatzi, if you can't find that person, Lao Tzu will find someone to beat you to death!" Fuck, it's the middle of the night, and the turtle grandson doesn't even have a shadow!"

The fat man next to him wiped his sweat and replied yes repeatedly, but he was quite impatient in his heart, and the servant on the other side thought that he had slapped the horse's ass, and hurriedly said: "Second master, Xiao Dezi will help you smoke!"

That fat man was the unscrupulous merchant Wang Li, Kong Chengfu, and Kong Chengshi met in Baoqifang in the afternoon. After he followed Wang Li and the others, he went to Xu Guo to discuss a plan to kidnap Wang Li and seize the treasures, so he took advantage of the night to wait for the rabbit in the Fang Street under Qingyun Tower.

Who knew that he had waited for more than two hours, but he still hadn't seen Wang Li, so Luo Fatzi proposed to search along the street, and finally Xu couldn't help it, and began to scold Luo Fatzi.

This Xu Guo is the sister-in-law of the Xu family, the second in line, and Xu Sheng is a sibling, but Xu Sheng has embarked on a literary journey, and Xu Guo does not like to read, only loves to walk Ma Zhangtai, drinking, gambling, and prostitutes.

Xu Guo is not very bright, although he is a fool, but he is often deceived by others, but he still doesn't know it afterwards, he is complacent, thinking that he has taken a bargain. If you realize that you have been teased, you are extremely cruel to people, relying on the power of your father's generation, killing people and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil.

Although Xu Sheng has a small temperament, he has a clear distinction between good and evil, and has reprimanded Xu Guo many times, but he does not repent, but he has intensified his efforts and is a bachelor.

Once in the alley kiln was provoked, in a fit of anger to buy a lot of prostitutes' personal belongings, and also rewarded a long follower, the two thought they were a romantic thing, but they didn't know that they had already been used as a joke by the Yucheng scholars.

"Then what! Second master, look! It's him! It's the kid in the short clothes!"

Luo Fatzi walked along the street, and when he arrived at the simple hook fence, by the light of the hook fence lantern, he happened to see Yao Weixue hit Wang Li, and couldn't help but point to Wang Li excitedly, and said to Xu Quan.

"I saw it, I saw it, Lao Tzu is not blind. ”

Xu Guan impatiently patted Luo Fatzi's hand and said, "You give me a little noise, let's kidnap, why are you pulling such a big throat?" Xiao Dezi, you go and knock him out with a stick, don't kill him, Luo Fatzi goes to cover him with a sack, he can't be tied to the house, it's trouble to be seen by the eldest brother." Well, let's go to the courtyard in the south of my city, which has been empty for many years and no one lives there. ”

Xiao Dezi looked at it and said, "But there are two people there, wouldn't it be too much to tie up one of them?" he missed Qing'er.

Xu Guo didn't think about it, and said, "Both of them are tied up with Lao Tzu!"

Xiao Dezi sighed, waited for the crowd to dissipate, took a wooden stick that was not thin, and Luo Fatzi quietly walked behind Wang Li, after the two looked at each other, Xiao Dezi picked up the stick and jerked it on Wang Li's head.

Wang Li was talking, when he suddenly had a sharp pain in his head, and he fainted before he could react.

Luo Fatzi slipped around Wang Li, Yao Wanxue was so startled by the sudden two that she was about to scream, Xiao Dezi didn't care about the jade, and threw another stick over, his eyes were black, and he fainted like Wang Li.

"Second master, call it a day! Hehe, fortunately, I brought enough sacks, these two people just fit together, Xiao Dezi, you and I move together." ”

Luo Fatzi carried Wang Li's backpack, and Xiao Dezi carried Wang Li and the others into Xu Qian's carriage, and the three of them drove south in the night.

And the stunned Qing'er covered her mouth, her mind was full of finishes, this time it was the southern patrol of the Dayao royal family, and when she arrived in Qingzhou, Yao Yanxue sneaked to Yucheng. If you want to move the rescue soldiers, it's too late, but if you talk to Yucheng Buling Zhishou, don't say whether he believes it or not, she won't be able to see Taishou!

At this time, the little maid began to panic, and she was about to cry, so she had to stomp her feet, rush to the doctor, and go to Xu Junyan for help.

The old storyteller on the hook bar could see clearly, looked at the direction where Xu Jing and the three of them were gone, twisted his beard, suddenly chuckled and waved his hand, and disappeared on the stage out of thin air.

After Xu Guo and the three of them rushed to the idle courtyard of Xu's house in the south of the city, and put Wang Li and the others on the ground with their hands and feet tied at will, they began to carefully check Wang Li's backpack.

"This silver, little Dezi, I rewarded you!"

Xiao Dezi happily took the ten taels of silver that Wang Li was not willing to use, but when he saw Xu Guo take out a fully transparent cup from his bag, he couldn't help but straighten his eyes.

"Luo Fatty, is this it?" Xu Kuang saw this kind of treasure for the first time, and he was also careful, holding the cup in both hands, and swallowed his saliva, "Damn, it's hairy, Lao Tzu is awesome!"

Luo Fatzi stared at the crystal cup with his eyes, motionless, and wanted to get the cup, but was glared at by Xu Kuang, and said: "Let's see if there is anything else, I also heard that there is any superb smoke Luo Yu." ”

Xu Kuang continued to flip through the pages when he heard this, and there was a palm-sized silk book with four words written on it that they didn't recognize, as well as a scroll without words, a square card, a hosta, and a square mirror made of glass, which was Wang Li's mobile phone that entered the water, and they didn't know what it was, because the back shell was glass, and they only thought it was a glass mirror.

"This is really a good thing!" Luo Fatzi looked at the mobile phone in Xu Kuang's hand, and the candlelight refracted a brilliant brilliance on the back cover, making the eyes of the three of them look straight.

"Second master, you say, this baby, shall we?" Luo Fat Man rubbed his hands, licked his face and said with a smile, "It's my fat man's hard work, the crystal cup and the glass mirror, how can the second master divide me." ”

Xu Kuan played with his mobile phone, took a picture of himself with the back shell, ignored Luo Fatzi, Xiao Dezi carried ten ingots of silver, and sneered: "Luo Fatzi, you are embarrassed to speak, today the second master accompanied you to run a lot of roads in vain, and waited on the street for so long, and you took us without a headbutt! You still have the face to beg for things? Hmph, don't you want to touch these things!"

Xu Guo waved his hand and pretended to say, "Eh, don't talk to Shopkeeper Luo like this." Shopkeeper Luo, it was indeed your fault, I didn't figure out anything, so I came to me to tie people up, but I waited for so long, or my second master was lucky, and I happened to meet it, so you made a little effort, it stands to reason that like Xiao Dezi, just give you a few taels of silver, but the second master I have never been the master of the pit, in this way, the remaining few pieces, you pick one and go, this kid can put these together, it means that they are all good things!"

Luo Fatzi's face was crooked, and he said in his heart, who are you fooling, if he Luo Fatzi hadn't told Xu Guo about it, he Xu Lao Er would still be sleeping in the kiln! Besides, these other things, who don't know the details of those who are clear-eyed, can only be worth some money that hosta.

Although he was angry in his heart, Luo Fat didn't dare to attack in front of Xu Jing, so he bargained with Xu Jing in a low voice.

Wang Li on the side could understand that he woke up soon after being knocked unconscious, but he was pressed by Yao Weixue and was a little out of breath.

Yao Weixue hadn't woken up yet, Wang Li was pressed by her soft body all the way, and there was a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of her nose, feeling that it smelled good, but when she thought that it was a man who pressed her, she felt a little panicked: "I can't be bent, right?"

When they arrived at the courtyard, the two were separated and tied hand and foot, and Wang Li was relieved. I also understood that one of these gangsters was actually the fat shopkeeper who sold fakes in the afternoon!

While lamenting how deceitful the world is, I don't know whether to cry or laugh when I heard the three of them come to fight for their plastic cups and mobile phones.

"Is it a thief?
