Chapter 6: Storytelling
By the time Xiao Wu and the others found the banyan tree, there were already many people gathered around the new storyteller under the banyan tree, some of them were listening leisurely with water, and some of them were so fascinated by hearing that they forgot that their belongings had been taken away by someone with a heart. I saw the storyteller talking slowly, but his lips were indeed peeling, and it seemed that he had been talking for a long time.
Xiao Wu found a place where there were fewer people, and asked Fu Hua to sit down first, and he stood by himself to listen to what this storyteller had to do. I saw that the storyteller was full of energy, and although the distance was long, the hearing was not blurred.
"It is rumored that a thousand years ago, there was a world of the source of the source of the immortal, after being punished by the heavenly realm, stole the heavenly source staff, in the water and moon cave heavenly land to study the law of all things, after the completion of the pass, go around to challenge the three realms powerhouse, there is no one in the world is his opponent. Speaking of this Heavenly Source Staff, the head can evolve into countless shapes, and the tail can resist any attack, which can be described as attacking and retreating. After the victory over the Three Realms, he felt a little bored and went to explore the legendary Jade Dragon Abyss. At this point, the storyteller paused and signaled to the people around him that it was time to invest money.
Xiao Wu smiled disdainfully: "Nonsense. This is the storyteller actually sneaking a glance at him, but the gaze did not last long, and he did not care.
Seeing that the people around him had invested almost all the money, he continued: "The Jade Dragon Yuan is a legendary place, no one knows where it is, and there is a jade dragon with a high mountain living here, and the scales on its body are bigger than the place where we live. This dragon is also the most powerful monster in the legend. How could there be two "strongest" in this world? This immortal traveled through the Three Realms for a hundred years, and finally found this jade dragon, thinking that he would easily win it, but this battle has been fought for three hundred years. No one knows the outcome or defeat, only that the Tianyuan Staff was finally scattered into three heads, staffs, and tails, but I don't know who picked it up. ”
Fu Hua: "Why does this gentleman always like to say that no one knows and no one knows?"
"If he says that the emperor knows, do you go and ask the emperor?" Xiao Wu naturally knew that it was the storyteller's deception of those who had not read the book.
"Do you say there really are dragons in this world?" Fu Hua listened for a long time, and then understood that there is a jade dragon in this world.
Xiao Wu stood for a long time, motioned to Fu Hua to sit down, and said: "Dragon, how can the legendary thing be true, there is a golden house in the legend book, how can I read all the poems and books without seeing gold powder?"
Mr. Storyteller suddenly said: "But this jade dragon, after thousands of years, no one has ever found it again, some people say that it is integrated with the immortals as the source of heaven and earth spells, and the scales are scattered all over the place to become the source of the aura of each sect." Mr. Storyteller turned in a direction at this time, facing Xiao Wu's side, and did not look at Xiao Wu, and continued: "Some people also say that he was reincarnated, with dragon breath, reborn in the world, and may be in this city..."
Fu Hua stared at Mr. Storyteller carefully, it was one of the very few moments in the day when he was facing Xiao Wu head-on, and Xiao Wu had never sat down to see Fu Hua from this perspective. Xiao Wu suddenly had a feeling at this time that the girl who had accompanied him since he was a child was already a slim girl, and after a closer look, her eyes had become a lot bigger, and the childishness when she was young had also been washed away by years of growth, and the girl was still precocious than the teenager.
"Maybe it's time to get married. Xiao Wu had this idea in his heart, but his mood was a little complicated. According to the custom of people in the city to get married, the marriage must be proposed by one of the parents, but the life experience of the flower...
Speaking of Fu Hua's life experience, I have to mention Xiao Wu's "distant relative" Xiao Chuanwen, who was appointed as the county magistrate. Don't look at Xiao Wu looking down on He Ze like this, Xiao County Ya is a good official with hard work. He is well aware of the planting characteristics of each family, and he also knows the habits of medicinal herbs in the place where he is in charge. It's a pity that three years after taking office, there was a great drought throughout the year, and the output of herbs dropped sharply, which greatly affected the progress of cultivating pills.
When he was in office for five years, he took the three-year-old Xiao Wu into the city, and everyone in the city was rumored to be an illegitimate child outside, but Xiao Chuanwen said that he was a distant relative, and later gave Xiao Wu a maidservant, whose name was worthy of the flower.
As soon as this name spread, everyone was even more convinced that Xiao Wu was Xiao Chuanwen's illegitimate son, because this Xiao Chuanwen's favorite county official was to give flowers, and he had made poems about all kinds of flowers in the city. This maid was the only daughter of a family in the city, but unfortunately when the drought occurred, the family saw that the harvest was not good, and left their daughter to go out of the city.
After the county official Xiao was old, the cultivation of herbs in the city had also declined, and the imperial court saw that he was old and had no merit and hard work, so he approved his application for transfer. Before leaving, he dug a well in the city, breaking the water monopoly of the four clans in Heiluo Lane. It is now a new river well that poor families can share. With this big event, the people in the city were very polite to Xiao Wu, which made Xiao Wu's life in the city much better.
Xiao Wu suddenly remembered that when he was young, he buried a jar of fine famous wine in Xiaoqiu Mountain in Baipo, which was given to Xiao Chuanwen by the people in the city, but there was too much wine, and he lost a can and didn't find it.
"You said that this He Ze is not a bad person, but he is stupid and stupid, and he has no wisdom. You said that this cultivation of herbs is not only about the habit of medicine, but also about what people who refine medicine should understand, but what about He Ze, learning to grow medicine only learns the properties of medicine, not studying suddenly, not studying the land, do you say he is dead-eyed?" Xiao Wu suddenly said.
"His master is so partial to Lu Qingchuan, but he has a bit of a correct judgment, although Lu Qingchuan is naughty, he learns everything quickly, and it is always right to give him the best land to plant. Look at this He Ze, every time the medicinal materials are handed in, they have just passed the supply line. ”
Fu Hua said: "Then there is not a piece of He Ze's land..."
"Do you think he has no blessed life? The pangolin's body was buried in fertile soil for three years, but the pangolin given to him that day was actually sunburned and buried under his house, and when he woke up, he ran back to my field. ”
Fu Hua's eyes moved, looked at Xiao Wu and said, "I still have to talk about chance in this matter, right?"
"Of course, otherwise how can you say that he is not blessed? You said that the two of us went to the capital, will He Ze steal our things?"
"I don't think so, you entrust him with it. ”
"Won't he steal if he cares?"
Xiao Wu sighed: "I don't know if the two of us can come back when I go to the capital this time? I heard that the number of teachers in the capital is a hundred times more than ours, and the knowledge is a thousand times more. ”
"Sometimes I think about it, this kid He Ze is much better than me. A gust of wind blew, and the banyan leaves that fell in autumn blew across Xiao Wu's head.
Xiao Wu suddenly wanted to reach out and grab the fallen leaf, but unfortunately he didn't catch it, and the leaf fell to the ground.
