August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon is in the sky, and the Jiangnan Cuiwei Pavilion is overcrowded.

People say that there are three wonders on Cuiwei Pavilion, osmanthus wine, Qiantang tide, and Mid-Autumn moon.

Therefore, every Mid-Autumn Festival, there are countless literati and rioters gathered here to drink, watch the tide, and admire the moon.

"Knock", the little old man who told the story cleared his throat, "Please listen, Jade Butterfly Cup." ”

There is a little girl standing next to the little old man, with black braids, big round eyes, wearing a pink shirt, looking very elf and cute.

"Emerald luminous color, green butterflies want to fly. Pouring pots and sweet liquors are drunk, the night is faint, and the bright moon refuses to return. The wind wears pine and bamboo at night, and the guests are accompanied by stars and moons. It must be a good east wind, and the fragrance of flowers is saddled and saddled and sings back.

The jade cup is filled with amber, and the green plum is danced with no hands. The host is a good drinker, and he waved his hand, and Guangling resounded gradually. Guilu shines on Qihu, and the chrysanthemum is fragrant. Xiaohan gave birth to white dew, and Han Lu was still drunk when he went to the thousands of mountains. ”

After singing the song, the high rollers in the room all applauded.

The little old man put away the drum hammer, made a gesture in all directions, and said, "Everyone, do you know what the Jade Butterfly Cup is written in this word?"

The little girl opened her mouth and continued: "Grandpa, I know that it is the treasure of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong." ”

The little old man nodded and said, "Yes, everyone in the world says that the Tang Sect in Shu is only good at poisoning and hurting people, but few people know that the Tang Sect is the treasure jade butterfly cup, but it is born to save people!"

"Oh, grandpa, what do you say?"

"Hehe, this is a secret matter of the rivers and lakes, how can you say it casually?" the little old man stroked his beard under his chin and smiled mysteriously.

At this time, there were servants who carried a plate of reward, and walked back and forth between the wine tables, and those who listened to good stories and were kind to others took out more or less copper coins and threw them into the plates.

"Jade Butterfly Cup? The Sprinkle family also wants to hear about the secrets of the rivers and lakes!" While speaking, a burly man came up from the stairs, this big man had a scar on his head, his body was wrapped in gray and gray, and he was holding a black mixed iron rod in his hand, he was a monk.

The monk took out a silver ingot the size of his thumb, threw it away from four or five tables, and threw it into the plate in the hand of the little servant, when a cheer suddenly sounded upstairs.

"It is Master Huiyuan of Maitreya Temple, which is rare and rare. The little old man smiled and broke the identity of the monk.

"How can you know how to tell a story?" Huiyuan's eyes narrowed.

"Hahahaha, the Buddha said, don't say, don't say. The master came from afar, since he wants to hear the secrets of the rivers and lakes, he might as well sit down and drink a glass of osmanthus wine, and listen to the little old man and I will talk about it in detail. ”

"Ha, it's okay, it's not too late to ask you when I'm done. Huiyuan sat down and knocked on the table, "Xiao Er, come two pots of osmanthus wine." ”

"Aren't monks afraid of the Buddha's blame when they drink?" The voice was seven points heroic and three points coquettish, fluctuating, as if it came from outside.

"The Sprinkle family still recites the scriptures after drinking, which young man hides his head and tail, and has the ability to show up!" Huiyuan shouted loudly.

His voice fell, and he was slapped on the bare head, Huiyuan shouted, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, but where could he catch it, he saw a figure dripping and turning under his hand, and everyone saw a flower in front of them, and they saw one more person on the windowsill, a woman.

This woman is not a stunning beauty, but there is a compelling heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and there is a three-point enchantment hidden in her eyes, which belongs to the kind of woman who is not stunning at first glance, but makes people unconsciously want to get close.

When Huiyuan saw her, he couldn't help but change his face, "Amitabha, it turned out to be Lu Qiao'er, the light skill of the Sprinkler family is not as good as you, but the Zen staff of the Sprinkler family is not afraid of you." ”

"Oh, it turns out that wine and meat are not jealous of the great monk Huiyuan, Qiao'er's food consumption is not as good as you, but Qiao'er's alcohol consumption is not inferior to you. Lu Qiao'er imitated Huiyuan's words vividly, and suddenly caused a burst of snickering.

"Hmph, Lord Lu Shi is also here to find someone, right? The Sprinkle family has something to do, so I won't fight with you!" Huiyuan sat down indignantly.

Lu Qiao'er pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't pester him anymore, "The storyteller, I also want to hear the secret of the Jade Butterfly Cup, if it's interesting, I'll go to the Tang Gate to borrow it to play." ”

The little old man smiled slightly, since the reward was received, he no longer sold Guanzi, "The jade butterfly cup, according to legend, is a relic of the ancient Shennong's family, pour the wine into the cup and then drink it, you can solve the world's poisons, the ancestor of the Tang Sect in the Tang Dynasty by chance, got this jade butterfly cup, with the magical effect of this jade butterfly cup can cure a hundred poisons, taste the poisons in the world, and classify the poisons of the world, it took several years to write the book "Ten Thousand Poisons Sutra", since then the sect was established, so there is a line of Tangmen. The jade butterfly cup is regarded as the treasure of the Tang Sect and has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

"However, the puppet is not guilty, and he is guilty. The Jade Butterfly Cup of the Tang Gate is so magical, it has naturally aroused the covetousness of countless people, and countless high-rollers want to take it for themselves, or steal it secretly, and I don't know how many people are fighting its idea for hundreds of years. ”

"Until thirty years ago, a mysterious organization suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes, Liuhe Dao. ”

"Liuhe Dao, like the Tang Sect, is good at using poison and hidden weapons, taking assassination as a business, and has created boundless murder in just a few years. There were even many famous martial arts who died in their hands, among them, Tang Jueshan, the head of the Tang Sect at that time. After Tang Jueshan's death, the Tang Gate to the Baoyu Butterfly Cup disappeared, and many people believed that the Jade Butterfly Cup was snatched by the Liuhe knife. ”

"Because the Liuhe knife has caused too many evils, the martial arts people in the world hate it, so Wudang came forward, united the people with lofty ideals in the martial arts, and worked together to strangle the people of the Liuhe knife, and finally made the Liuhe knife disappear in the martial arts, and there was no trace of it. However, the Jade Butterfly Cup has also been missing since then, and it has become an unsolved case in the rivers and lakes. ”

Lu Qiao'er pursed her lips and said, "Speaking of which, it's all old things, what is there to say." ”

The little old man smiled and said, "Old things? ”

"Grandpa, this sister is right, this is all an old thing from thirty years ago. The little girl on the side spoke.

"Hey!" the little old man pulled a flower with the drum hammer in his hand and said, "What if I said that the Liuhe knife and the jade butterfly cup have reappeared in the rivers and lakes!"

Hearing only the sound of "knock", Huiyuan paused his Zen staff, suddenly stood up, and said, "That old man, who are you? Where did you learn these stories?!"

Lu Qiao'er clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, okay, it's going to start." ”

The little old man's face did not change, and his expression was calm, "The little old man is just a storyteller, going south and north, hearsay, Master Huiyuan, you believe it or not, but you don't care about the little old man." ”

Lu Qiao'er grinned and encouraged: "The great monk wants to tell the story, wonderful!"

Huiyuan's face changed, after all, he was a long-established figure in the martial arts, if it was rumored that he bullied an unarmed old man, it would be a loss of face. He stood in place, not moving, not moving, his big face flushed.

"Hahahaha, what a hearsay, a good pair of sharp teeth, this son originally came to find someone, I don't want to be able to see the old man of the dragon who can't see the head and the end, it's really a blessing. While speaking, a handsome boy came up from downstairs, this person was full of energy, dressed in a white robe, with a plain white folding fan in his hand, and he was very handsome.

The little old man sneered and said, "What kind of dragon sees the head and doesn't see the end, it's just a prodigal little old man, how dare you worry about Liu Junyi and Liu Gongzi." ”

Everyone upstairs immediately discussed, "He is the eldest son of the Liu family in Jiangnan?"

"Sure enough, it's a talent. ”

"What is the eldest prince of the Liu family doing here?"

"He said he was looking for someone, who was he looking for?"

Liu Junyi smiled kindly, nodded to Huiyuan and Lu Qiao'er, found a table and sat down, ordered a pot of osmanthus wine, a few dishes of side dishes, poured himself a drink, but stopped talking.

Everyone also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange at this time, these many people from the rivers and lakes gathered here, and they were all looking for people, who were they looking for?

The little old man named Yu Ya stopped talking, and took out a dry tobacco stick and smoked it. After Huiyuan heard Yu Ya's name, he glanced at him thoughtfully, then at Liu Junyi, and sat back silently. Lu Qiao'er leaned on the windowsill even more, swinging with one foot, looking at the bright moon outside, and humming a little song softly.

After a while, there were many people of all kinds who came up from downstairs one after another, these people were handsome and ugly, tall and short, fat and thin, they were called all kinds of strange, and there were not many empty seats upstairs, and the later high-rollers simply stood against the wall.

Some guests noticed that something was wrong, and left in a hurry after settling the bill, but there were also some who wanted to see the excitement, the wine bottle was empty and added, and they were always reluctant to leave, for a while, the whole restaurant was silent, and the atmosphere was weird.

After waiting for a long time, nothing happened, and some people couldn't stand it anymore and walked a lot. Xiao Er was frightened, and he didn't dare to come out, carrying a wine jug back and forth between the seats, and he didn't dare to say a word. The shopkeeper of the restaurant looked up on the stairs, his face was anxious, but he didn't dare to come forward rashly, who knows what happened to these many high-rollers, in case of trouble, he didn't have to open the restaurant.

Lu Qiao'er suddenly stopped humming, she looked downstairs quietly, and suddenly jumped off the windowsill.

"It's coming!"

These high-rollers on the second floor were suddenly shaken, and even those who didn't know what they were drinking were also in their spirits.

can make so many high-rollers who don't know each other gather here, who is this person?

There was a clear and powerful sound of footsteps on the stairs, and everyone turned their eyes to the top of the stairs.

A young man appeared in everyone's eyes, he was wearing a green shirt, his clothes were very ordinary, and his hair was not hairpins, so he was draped behind him, and his appearance was not outstanding, but there seemed to be a hint of tiredness between his eyebrows, which added a bit of charm to him.

The drinkers couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw that they were waiting for such an ordinary ordinary person. But many people in the rivers and lakes looked at him with a serious face.

The young man stood at the top of the stairs, looked around, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Everyone, what's the matter?"

Liu Junyi clenched his fists in his chest and said loudly: "It is difficult to scatter people, and you can't sit idly by." ”

Everyone upstairs nodded, "Exactly, you can't sit idly by." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's events begin with me and end with me, and you need not be involved. Everyone, Yu remembered. The young man bowed and bowed.

"What did the scattered people say? Huiyuan stepped forward, "Back then, when I was in trouble in Maitreya Temple, I scattered people to help each other. Today, there are difficulties in scattering people, and the sprinkle family should also help each other. Otherwise, if it spreads out, everyone will say that my Maitreya Temple is an ungrateful villain. ”

This remark has attracted the approval of countless people.

"The great monk is not bad, what an accident. Lu Qiao'er snorted.

"Qiao'er. The young man nodded at her.

"Don't look at me, I'm not here to help you, I just want to come and see the excitement. Lu Qiao'er rubbed her nose, leaned on the windowsill, raised her eyes to the sky, and couldn't see him.

The old man who told the story, Yu Ya, also led his granddaughter over, looked at the young man with a smile, and said, "The four young people in the rivers and lakes, the iron-blooded jade flute." The jade Xiaoyao, who is known as a loose person, is really not an ordinary person. ”

Yu Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, and bowed to Shi Shi, "I don't know the name of my predecessor?"

Liu Junyi came over and said, "Sanren, this is the old man who broke the remaining teeth. ”

"It turned out to be an iron-faced and selfless old-timer, disrespectful and disrespectful. But I don't know why the seniors are here today? Yu and the seniors should have met for the first time today, right?"

Without waiting for Yu Ya to answer, a hearty laugh sounded outside the window: "Yu Xiaoyao, I don't want you to invite so many people to help me, I'm not as good as you, I only invited Yu seniors to come and settle today's matter for you and me." As the words fell, a man came out of the window, dressed in a black suit, with a gluttonous sword at his waist, and a pair of sharkskin gloves on his hands, and he stood firmly on the lattice of the window, as if the thin wood was made of iron.

"Tang Yelin, don't come unharmed. Yu Xiaoyao smiled slightly.

The person who came was none other than Tang Yelin, the young master of the Tang Sect, and he was also the leader of the younger generation in the martial arts.

"Jade Xiaoyao, the one-year period has arrived, and your injuries must be healed. Today, you and I will fight it out, please ask the old man of Yuya to be a witness, the conditions remain the same, if I win, you will tell the whereabouts of Tang Qi's traitor. If you win, the matter will be over, and I will stop forcing you, how about it?"

"Hahaha," Yu Xiaoyao looked up to the sky and laughed, "Tang Yelin, you also underestimate Yu, I didn't agree to this condition to you last year, and I won't agree to it this year." I have come today only to meet your appointment. If Yu is lucky enough to win you, then please don't come to pester Yu again, if Yu loses, the only one is death. ”

Tang Yelin sneered: "It seems that you want to protect that little beast even if you die?"

Yu Xiaoyao threw his shirt back, and replied awe-inspiringly: "Exactly!"
