Chapter 83: Listening to Books on the Fifth Floor
Don't say it, this time it's really right for the mountains and rivers!
The old beggar glanced at the bitten bread, smiled at last, nodded and put the bread in the iron bowl.
"Ahh
Qin Xiaodou shook her head vigorously while complaining, and it could be seen that she really couldn't accept this strange "custom".
Although Shanhe didn't understand the truth, he didn't bother to care so much.
Seeing that this trick was good, he took another bite of another piece of bread and handed it to the old beggar.
After the old man took all the bread, Shanhe achieved his wish.
Without waiting for the old man to say thank you, after a signature smirk, he pulled his legs and ran towards the teahouse.
......
Inside the tea house, there are not many customers, and most of the square tables are empty.
Since each floor tells a different story, everyone's preferences are also different. So as soon as they entered the house, Shanhe and the others changed from the previous collective action to free activities. Whoever wants to listen to it can listen to it, and you don't need to stick to it anymore.
Holding the large tea bowl with white flowers in his hand, Shanhe climbed all the way from the first floor to the fifth floor.
He would stop for a few minutes on each floor, and when he understood what the old man was telling, he would walk to the next floor.
And he had heard everything from this to the fourth floor.
There are Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West, and Red Mansions, which just have a set of four famous books.
Only the story of the fifth floor, he has never heard of.
I simply found an empty table and sat down, listening to the old gentleman on the stage, telling the magical story vividly.
......
After Bai Lu separated from the group, he also walked upstairs floor by floor.
When she heard the old gentleman on the third floor talking about the Dream of Red Mansions, she wanted to stay and listen.
However, she was afraid that she would miss out on the more exciting story, so she decided to go upstairs to find out first, but she couldn't wait until she came down.
So, in the end, she also came to the fifth floor.
After listening to it for a few minutes, I found that this story was quite interesting, and I had never heard it before, so I was going to sit down.
When I raised my eyes, I soon found the back of Shanhe, and said "what a coincidence" in my heart, and sat quietly beside Shanhe.
......
Qin Xiaodou, who was going to be inseparable from the mountains and rivers all the way, just went up to the second floor, but he couldn't take a step.
She has a soft spot for Journey to the West, but when she heard the name of Sun Wukong and the old man's vivid speech, she suddenly entered a state of selflessness.
Leaning against a pillar, his mouth slightly open, he listened intently.
About twenty minutes later, it wasn't until the old storyteller took a break that Qin Xiaodou came back to his senses.
found that the mountains and rivers had long disappeared, and Bai Lu, the rival in love, did not know where to go, so he immediately secretly said bad, and ran upstairs.
When I came to the fifth floor in one breath, I saw Shanhe and Bai Lu sitting at the same table, listening to the same story "sweet and happy", and the acid water in my heart suddenly flowed out uncontrollably.
With a secret sigh, he smashed his chest with his small fist as punishment, and then walked to the table of Shanhe and sat silently on the side with his head down.
......
As for Bai Shuai, he has heard the story in this sand building too many times.
Therefore, he did not choose the floor according to the story like others, but chose it according to the person: wherever Qin Xiaodou went, he followed.
Of course, in order to be less obvious, he deliberately kept a distance from the other party.
Just like just now on the second floor, he has been standing about four or five meters behind Xiaodou, listening to the legend of the four masters and apprentices with both ears, but his eyes have never left Xiaodou.
It wasn't until later, when he saw Xiaodou hurriedly running up to the fifth floor, that Bai Shuai followed.
After seeing that his friends were all converging on this floor, there was no need for him to hide anymore, so he sat beside Xiaodou generously.
......
The old gentleman on the fifth floor tells an old mythological story.
The protagonist is a gifted little snake who continues to cultivate, grows, and eventually becomes a formidable giant snake demon!
After becoming stronger, as his desire expanded, he gradually forgot the advice of the people who taught him to practice, and constantly disturbed the nearby creatures.
At first, they ate all the small animals in the surrounding area, and then they began to invade human villages.
Of course, the residents of the village will not sit still, so they invited a lot of Taoists to collect demons.
But who expected, this snake demon has a strong mana, and the Taoists can't defeat it with all their might, and in the end, they even took a lot of lives.
In this way, the people of the village died and fled. However, after a few years of hard work, the originally thriving town was turned into a dead city by the snake demon.
Later, the snake demon boldly lived in that town, and lived there for hundreds of years.
Until one day, a young chivalrous Taoist priest passed by this town, found this evil animal, and fought with it.
This person is a disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and his mana is very strong, which is by no means comparable to those Taoist priests before.
After fighting with the snake demon for nine hundred and eighty-one days, he turned his flesh palm into nine days of thunder and lightning, and split this demon into a soul!
Then, I saw that the body of the giant snake demon instantly turned into countless golden sand, like a vast river, scattered in the southwest of the town.
The snake demon was removed, and it didn't take long for the town to welcome new residents.
Since this place has been uninhabited for 100 years, everyone has long remembered the name of this place.
After seeing the sea of sand outside the town, he gave the town a new name - Jinsha Town!
......
"Wow, that sandy area is made up of the corpse of a snake demon! Brother Shanhe, are you afraid?" Coming out of the teahouse, Qin Xiaodou was still immersed in the commentary just now, and said unsatisfied.
"Haha, I'm not afraid! It's just a legend, are you serious?" Shanhe replied with a smile.
"That is, how can there really be such a big snake demon in the world? It must be fake. Bai Shuai also laughed on the side.
Just as Qin Xiaodou was about to refute, he suddenly heard a burst of fighting and scolding from the side of the road.
Turning his head, he saw that on a dark street corner not far away, two young men were punching and kicking a person on the ground, and they were swearing:
"Grass, let you pretend to be B with Lao Tzu! Shame on your face! See if I can't kill you!"
"Hmph, you stupid X stinky beggar, don't want this, don't want that! Look at you now...... Grass!" As they spoke, their fists kept beckoning to the fallen man, looking very angry.
Shanhe was a nosy chivalrous man, and when he heard the word "beggar", he immediately remembered the old beggar who had taken the bread just now, and ran to the place where he was beaten without saying a word.
When I got closer, sure enough, lying on the ground was really the beggar uncle who didn't want money, just leftovers!
